Talk:Quebec French syntax

message: Very interesting information... kind of starts and ends abruptly, though. Djcartwright 08:48, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  

message: Another important feature of the Quebec French verb is the usual formation of the future indicative by a periphrastic form using the verb "aller". E.g. "j'va aller" instead of "j'irai" ("I will go"), "tu vas manger" instead of "tu mangeras" ("you will eat"). Pictonon (talk) 02:16, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Periphrastic Future Indicative 

message: There is a number of examples of colloquial usage that are not specific to the colloquial style of Québécois French. Many are also heard in colloquial European French:
Mon rêve c'est de partir en Afrique  -  
Donne-moi-le  -  
Dis-moi-pas  -  
Donne-moi-pas-en
I am no expert on the specifics of Quebec French, so I do not want to edit the entry--but someone more knowledgeable should give this article another look.
I also found it strange that general points of the evolution of the French language were included ("as in the rest of Francophonie...") -- that seems irrelevant to the article's stated intention. If you retain those points, I suggest you replace Francophonie with a real English term: the French-speaking world.
I totally agree with the last message. Many features presented here are not specific to Québécois French nor Canadian French, but can also be found in colloquial European French. I'm going to remove some examples.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for checkuser/Case/Afrika paprika

message: :LOL...I can't believe you put me up there. :)) First an interesting revelation for you - most of these IP's which start with 89.172. doesn't mean they are all the same person, in fact it means they don't even have to be the same person at two different instances. It only signifies that the user is on T-Com (Croatia) ADSL line. You see the Croatian T-Com gives you different IP (the last two IP lines) every time you log on the net and it starts with 89.172. so the only thing we can conclude from this is that the user "Afrika Paprika" is on ADSL line and also that not all 89.172 have to be him as probably most if not all Croatian user's here who are on T-Com Croatia ADSL would have similar IP. This gave me a good laugh though. ;) --Factanista 13:30, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, you're probably not him (I believe you), but let's make sure for it, as other people also doubt the very same thing - if you're not his sockpuppet, you can't lose anything, only gain - right? --PaxEquilibrium 19:20, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have nothing to loose nor to gain. And if you didn't notice I wasn't complaining, rather explaining. As mentioned in my previous message the IP's of the T-Com users in Croatia are not static, they are awarded each time you log on so a person whose IP is for example 89.172.554.26 in Monday 25th December may be another persons IP on Friday 29th December. Understand? --Factanista 19:44, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Common Designer

message: It's unclear to me from reading this new article whether common designer is any different than intelligent designer.  I believe this distinction should be made clear in the article, or the article should be merged with intelligent designer.  Keep in mind that Wikipedia also supports redirections, so maybe the original author would like to go that route. Jonemerson 09:19, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A Google search for "common designer" (with quotes) returns only one result related to creationism.  Therefore without a cited explanation of how this term differes from Intelligent Designer, I recommend deletion of this article with perhaps a REDIRECT added for Intelligent designer.

message: Is this a conversion mistake or a deliberate pun/pseudonym Nakai himself used? If it's the latter, it definitely merits mention, but if it's the latter ... well, the above isn't the only one to make the mistake. It's possible that Japanese writers discussing Nakai in print have their keyboards' conversion biased in favour of 竹 over 猛, which is an interesting bit of information if anyone can locate a source that specifically verifies it.

Talk:Systolic array

message: The paragraph before the "see also" line is the whole content of the Super_systolic_array article.  Since there's nothing new in the other article, I see no reason for its existance, and suggest that a section about such arrays is written here instead. /193.11.202.125 09:52, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

message: A proper reference for the inventors is required: a paper using the term without claiming the invention or even introducing it is hardly enough.  The paper cited assumes the reader is already familiar with systolic arrays - hardly indicative of invention in this paper at least.  Academic modesty would generally mean the actual inventors would re-introduce the topic at hand in subsequent papers so if there is no better evidence provided I intend to snip that. 3142 (talk) 04:12, 5 February 2017 (UTC)

message: Firstly, concerning the company, as mentioned in the text, it is an Indie company, and probably won't be, in your eyes, a 'notable' company. I was unaware that this was a requirement. Secondly, I was unaware that I needed to cite myself as a source. Thirdly, as I am new to Wikipedia, I was unaware that these 'prods' must not be deleted. The documentation for such things is quite hard to locate. Fourthly, the website mentioned in the article is under construction, hence the text on the first page, "Under Construction". However, I shall remove the link so that no confusion is created. Lastly, why is "video-game in early stages of development" a valid reason for deletion?

replies: text: Yes.  I think the only reason Microsoft creates an empty IO.SYS (also MSDOS.SYS) in XP (and other versions of Windows that don't run on top of DOS) is for backwards compatibility with old DOS or Windows 3.x applications (or installers?) that expect those files to be on the boot drive for some reason.  --ozzmosis 16:58, 27 April 2007 (UTC)

Must be something to do with he huge order by the army for bikes (therefore defence industry gazumps them), as IIRC Harley brought the bike off them later.
