Talk:Numeric character reference

message: === Perl ===
For usual needs, there are a "1 line code" conversor for Perl:
 while (<STDIN>) {
        s/(.)/(ord($1)>127)? ('&#'.ord($1).';'): $1/ge;
        print $_;
 }
(use %perl code.pl < fileIn.txt > fileOut.txt)
It converts unicode or ISO Latim to XML-compatible ASCII.
=== JavaScript ===
 function unicode_to_ncr(text){
   var ncr_text = ""
   var text_length = text.length
   for(var index = 0; index < text_length; index++) {
      var character = text.charAt(index)
      var ncr_character = character.charCodeAt(0)
      if(ncr_character < 128) {
         ncr_text += character
      }
      else {
         ncr_text += "&#"+ncr_character+";"
      }
   }
   return ncr_text
 }
It, also, converts unicode or ISO Latin to XML-compatible ASCII.
=== Terminology? ===
The nomenclature used in this article is not the same as the basic SGML one.
SGML has two proper names, "character reference", which is the numeric character reference described here, and "entity reference", which is a macro resolving to any sequence of characters.
The list of entity references used in HTML all resolve to exactly one character. But that doesn't make them special cases, as the phrase character entity reference implies; they just all happen to be one-character strings.

message: We have no map of the Duchy divided into the Departments - so we have no way of determining their borders. There is a map online that could serve for this purpose if adapted: .

Talk:2003 Monaco Grand Prix

message: Hello,
I've noticed that it is reported that the 2005 USA Grand Prix and 2017 Russian Grand prix are reported as having 0 on track overtakes. There was an overtake in the 05 GP on the first lap and Bottas/Verstappen and many others did overtake on track in 17 Rus GP - despite this being confined to the the first lap. If the source remains unchecked I'll be correcting this soon.
(Yes, technically an overtake is limited to complete flying laps, so lap 1 is not counted - but even so the source remains out of date and a little clarification could be helpful)

message: A very interesting article. As a native English speaker, I hope you do not mind my alterations. The one sentence that I was somewhat puzzled by and therefore left alone was "In history, she was long considered stuck-up; the public was not used to women having such a exposed role, and her profession was considered provocing." Would it perhaps be possible to re-phrase this?

Talk:Thornton Steward Reservoir

message: This 2001 document says
 Yorkshire Water  Services currently  abstracts water  from  the River Ure  at Kilgram  Bridge  under  a  time-limited  licence.  The  licence  allows  abstraction  of  46,  22.73,  3.27  tcmd  at  flows  >300,  >163  and  >50  tcmd  respectively,  as  measured  at  the  Kilgram  Bridge  flow  gauging  station. There is zero abstraction at river flows  equal to or <50 tcmd.
(where TCMD means "thousand cubic metres per day"). Ideally we'd give an up to date figure - I'm not comfortable using such an old number, particularly after the improvments to the treatment works in 2007. If anyone can find up to date numbers, either of Yorkshire Water's licence limits, or their actual usage, that'd be a useful addition. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 21:10, 8 September 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Amount of extraction from the Ure 

message: The 2007 D&S article cited in the article () is pretty clear that Yorkshire Water installed a new pipeline from Leighton Reservoir to Thornton Steward Reservoir. But I'm worried that the journalist misunderstood what they were doing, and in making the article digestible introduced an error, which we're now reproducing. In particular:
* that's at least 4 miles, as the crow flies - that's a lot of pipeline and it's over hills (or twice as far, if they followed the valleys) - doing all that, with the associated pumping, for just £1 million seems unlikely.
* why bother? Leighton discharges naturally into the Ure, and Thornton Steward extracts downstream from the Ure - that's only a mile or so of piping
* the two roads mentioned in the D&S article, Moor Lane and Longdike Lane, are both between the extraction point at Kilgrim Bridge and the south end of Thornton Steward - they're where a pipeline from Kilgrim to Thornton Steward would go, nothing to do with that long trip from Leighton.
So what I think is really the case is that, as the Leighton Reservoir article says, it just keeps the Ure topped up to make up for the extraction, and all the extraction is done (sensibly) at Kilgrim. And the 2007 pipeworks were just the line from Kilgrim to Thornton Steward. So, exactly contrary to what the D&S says, there is not a direct pipeline between the two reservoirs - only the Ure. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 12:40, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

Category talk:Manhattan College alumni

message: Greetings, all.  My understanding is that it is not confirmed that  "Brewery Jack" Taylor was an alumnus (or even a student) of Manhattan College.  I believe some sources suggest that he may have been utilized by the Jaspers during some exhibition games of his time, but that College archives show no record of him ever having attended the school.
Of course, i'd love to be wrong!  :)  If anyone has sources indicating Taylor's status as a student or alumnus of Manhattan College, please let me know!  I'm assisting one of the leading researchers on Taylor, and would love to find anything indicating a formal connection between him and the College.
I'll leave his article in the category for a time while the issue is open, and propose that we seek to either cite a source confirming his alumnus status (in his article or elsewhere) or remove him from the list if none can be found.  I'm also very open to suggestions/corrections if there are more standard ways of handling cases like this; i'm just trying to be proactive.  :)
Thank you and please let me know if there's any other info out there!

Talk:Karlberg Palace

message: A castle in English is a defensive structure. Swedish palaces are often wrongly translated into "castles" in English; for instance, I get 1 730 google hits on "Stockholm Castle" which is an incorrect translation of "Stockholms slott". The correct term, Stockholm Palace, only gets a third as many google hits (647). Until someone can show the military importance of Karlbergs slott (which seems unlikely due to the location), I move the page to "Karlberg Palace". Indeed, many buildings that in Swedish is called "slott" are too small to be called "Palace", but I do think this one is slightly larger than a mansion. // habj 16:15, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Xiong Shili

message: It seems unfair to call upon Plato's idea of forms as a comparison to Xiong Shili's ideas about substance. Although it is true that both of them are essentially addressing questions about the nature of reality their approach is so different that I don't think the comparison you make is fair. You basically claim that Xiong Shili's ideas allows for "dynamism" and Plato doesn't. However, Plato's ideas don't exclude the possibility for substances to change constantly. He just is concerned with finding their ideal form. The idea that reality is an ocean doesn't conflict with the idea that the waves of that ocean have an ideal form.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sammcallister (talk • contribs) 02:13, 14 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Concern Surrounding the Comparison to Plato 

message: I think you did a phenomenal job in describing and summarizing his biography and philosophy. However, I think a big part of Xiong Shili as an individual is his tremendous influence on New Confucian philosophers. Seeing that many philosophers have an "Influence" section, I think it'd be helpful to include that aspect into the page. I think a controversy section may also be helpful because of the amount of controversy that Xiong Shili went through near his death as his ideals were broken by the political movements in China. comment added by sopamika (talk 22:26, 15 May 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Influences 

message: I think a part of the text is lifted verbatim, or close to it, from the source cited:
"After the founding of the People’s Republic of China, Xiong stayed on the mainland and continued to lecture at Peking University. While he wasn’t required to criticize his earlier thinking in terms of Marxism, and he even received government funding in publishing some of his writings after 1949, he was still subjected to physical abuse at the beginning of the Cultural Revolution. After seeing Confucianism suffer another cultural and political blow, he died at the age of 84 in 1968."
the source cited is:
" "Xiong Shili's Metaphysics of Virtue". In Cheng, Zhongying; Bunnin, Nicholas. Contemporary Chinese Philosophy. Malden, Massachusetts: Blackwell Publishers."
It's a good source but it is best practice to at least change the wording a bit.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.58.110.115 (talk) 23:07, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

The other source is fine, but then this one also doesn't support the paragraph's content at all. I even checked its archived version dated 19 February 2010, but it has nothing to support the paragraph. So I am removing this paragraph, as it seems mostly based on original research, and is propagating misinformation since 2010. If anyone is against the removal, then please provide the relevant reliable source(s) here.
Similarly, the last line of the current version is unsourced since 2010. So I am deleting that as well. Feel free to partially/fully reinstate the content after citing reliable sources. - NitinMlk (talk) 21:36, 10 June 2018 (UTC)
