Talk:Life-cycle cost analysis

message: Suggest we might combine the article on whole-life cost, and life-cycle cost analysis. Total cost of ownership is another common synonym. They all seem to be in use in slightly different industries, but the concept is effectively the same. 
Infrastructure and asset management usually calls it "whole-life cost"
IT seems to more commonly refer to Total cost of ownership or TCO.
What do others think?

Talk:Puck (moon)

message: Is it named specifically after Puck (mythology) or Puck (Shakespeare)? -- Tarquin —Preceding undated comment added 10:53, 24 August 2002 (UTC)
replies: text: Puck of mythology and Puck of Shakespeare are the same, "an evil, or malicious spirit or demon" says the OED.  According to Brewer's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable, Shakes toned him down a bit, but didn't demythologize him.  In Midsummer Night's Dream he is described as "rough, knurly limbed, faun-faced, and shock-pated, a very Shetlander among the gossamer-winged fairies"  Ortolan88 —Preceding undated comment added 12:06, 24 August 2002 (UTC)

Talk:Five-card stud

message: It's not mentioned in the opening paragraphs, even in the example game with those 4 players, whether or not a player is allowed to look at their first (face-down) card. In the example game, the player who apparently had nothing re-raised the one who was showing a pair of Queens. Presumably she only did this because she knew her face down card was an Ace (after having looked at it). The looking wasn't mentioned though, and I don't know if she was just purely gambling having not been allowed to look.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.155.230.199 (talk) 19:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Could someone who knows this man please work on the paragraph on London? It now consists mostly of its publication history; I would much rather see a short description of what it is about and why it is important. Andre Engels
----
The point is that it is difficult for a Britisher to see in what respect London is what it is - from an architectural point of view. It is, for instance, very different from Paris. Rasmussen states that in the existing books about London, one can find information about all kinds of details, but nobody had before him attempted to give an overall evaluation.

Talk:Arnulf of Carinthia

message: This is pure fantasy! Even if it were original research, WP would not be the place for it.
Not one of the various theories concerning  Arnulf's mother Mediaeval Genealogy: Liutswind: Read the theories  (in German ) even remotely ventilates the idea that she might NOT have been of Bavarian descent.
Arnulf's  mother had a Teutonic name - Liutswind or Litwinde, her father is said to have been one Bavarian count Ernst, perhaps the  burgrave of Passau, as sources say. Where do the Slav Carantanians come in? It hasn't even been proven that Arnulf's reported birthplace, the Mosaburch,  was the one in Carinthia. - And the  name Blatnograd for this Austrian Moosburg  is a retrospective invention!  There were several others    Moosburg castles, e.g. one Mosapurc or Mosabyrga in Bavaria and one in today's Hungary  ( Mosapurc or Blatnohrad,  modern name:  Zalavár, see Kocel), which lateron  became part of Arnulf's realm. Besides, only a few miles from the Carinthian Moosburg was the Carlovingian Kaiserpfalz, the imperial palace,  of Karnburg (Slovene: Krnski grad). Does it really seem likely that father Carloman afforded  two expensive-to-keep fortresses  so close to each other?
I have modified the incriminated statements, but
I suggest the speculative passages about his mother's origin and about his youth be removed altogether.--Marschner (talk) 16:55, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
