Talk:Xavier, Spain

message: Pardon my ignorance, but the use of "Romance" in this article does not seem to correspond to the article Romance language to which it links.  Is this a reference to a modern language or dialect, or should the link be to Old Spanish language?

message: If "Xavier" is "Xabier in Basque and Navarro-Aragonese, and Javier in Castilian" - then in what language at all the place is called "Xavier"?

Talk:Lempel–Ziv–Oberhumer

message: "Requires no memory for decompression.", I think this could do with justification/expansion or correct.  I haven't come across that many algorithms that require zero memory to operate!  Perhaps this should talk about in-place decompression (decompress straight to the final buffer) if that is what it means?  Sladen 20:56, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I'm familiar with the algorithm and what that meant to say was that it requires no additional memory for compression.  I'll fix the article. --Trixter 15:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

text: "Requires no memory for decompression." means that there is no need to allocate any buffers or whatever. It is enough to have source data and destination to place them. All other calculations could fit into CPU registers which are often not part of memory or address space. Hence, Oberhumer's claim is formally valid. There is decompressors who decompress it entirely in CPU registers, using no memory except source buffer holding compressed data and destination buffer holding uncompressed block. They can even partially overlap IIRC so compressed block + extra space transformed to uncompressed block at the end of operation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.77.159.176 (talk) 01:40, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Caroline Ingalls

message: The claim in the article that Caroline, born in December 1839, "may have been the first non-Native child born in what is now the Greater Milwaukee area" is not true. Solomon Juneau and his wife Josette Vieau were married circa 1818–1819, and in 1819 settled in what would become Milwaukee. They had 15 children. Also, Milwaukee County birth registrations show 2 children born in 1836, 4 children born in 1837, 11 children born in 1838, and at least 11 children born in 1839 before December. For each of those years, births registered probably represent only a minority of actual births. — Walloon 00:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No doubt that all of that is correct. The erroneous claim is probably an exaggeration of the more reasonable claim that she was the first child born to settlers in the Town of Brookfield. Since that was a 36-square-mile area at the time, it's a much weaker claim. That is the claim that appears on the historical marker at the site of her birth, a photo of which is now in this article.

Talk:List of Scientology security checks

message: The article states:  The Johannesburg Security Check -- An amended form is still in use [Ref. Atack's book].  Atack was active in the Church some years ago.  His knowledge and the information in his book might have been current when he created his book.  But the next reference is:  HCO Policy Letter 7 Apr 61, Johannesburg Security Check.  The article spells out some of what is purported to be within HCO PL 7 Apr 61, Johannesburg Security Check.  I have a full set of Policy Letters, the green volumes and index.  There is no such policy letter in them.  My set was purchased in 1998.  It is perfectly possible there was, at one time, such a policy letter in force and that it was cancelled.  But the combination of Atack's book having been created from knowledge of some years ago and the 7 APR 61 policy letter no longer existing lead me to suspect that list of questions is not used by the Church today.  Further, it is HCO Bulletins which contain the tech (such as a list of questions) while policy letters contain "how to run an organization". Terryeo 15:49, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  For once, you make a good point, although it could have been stated in a sentence or two. I'll amend the "still in use" bit.

replies: text: I was about to propose that this should be a prose article rather than a list, and I note this previous suggestion. I favour Security check (Scientology). Maybe there's a case for a separate page for a list of questions from security checks, since the different secondary sources each contain lists of their own. Then again, perhaps that's not necessary on WP given that the full text of some sec checks seems to be on Wikileaks. MartinPoulter (talk) 11:43, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Sec checks were never canceled. They were canceled *only* as a form of confessional. But sec checks in general are still routinely administered, and anyone wishing to do courses in the regular courserooms (as opposed to the courseroom for new people) has to go through a sec check, though without the more severe questions like "Are you a pervert?" Typically, after someone completes two or three courses, they will take a more intermediate course and will get sent to the regular courseroom, which is prohibited to new Scientologists until they have at least completed something like the Basic Study Manual.

::Added a picture of biotite with basal cleavage. Unfortunately, Wikimedia commons doesn't have many good crystal cleavage pictures, and this isn't quite high enough on my priority list to go hunting everywhere for openly available photos. Awickert (talk) 17:32, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Images

message: I changed this sentence:
:"Basal or pinacoidal cleavage occurs parallel to the base of a crystal, the {001} crystal plane."
I replaced {0001} with {001} because I have only seen a Miller index with three digits (indices), not four, representing the three planes in 3D space.  However, I see later in the section a four-digit Miller index for faces of a rhombus or rhombohedron, so that's an example of a 4-digit Miller index.  Was the original 4-digit Miller index correct?  Is it generally possible to have 4-digit Miller indices? Crystal whacker (talk) 00:02, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The hexagonal and rhombohedral systems use four indices (see Miller_index#Case_of_the_hexagonal_and_rhombohedral_structures. I've replaced the {0001} along with the {001} with a clarifying note. Thanks for noting that as the {0001} by itself was misleading. Vsmith (talk) 00:29, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

text: (Vsmith beat me to hitting "save".) Standard Miller indices only have 3 entries, but in hexagonal and rhombohedral structures, Bravais-Miller indices (with 4 entries) are often used. You can check it out on Miller index. I think your edit should stand because it makes the basal cleavage more generalizable and therefore more correct: muscovite, one of the best examples of basal cleavage, is actually monoclinic. Awickert (talk) 00:31, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow, I didn't know that hexagonal crystals could have 4 Miller indices!  Thanks for explaining that. Crystal whacker (talk) 00:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah - funny, huh? but it works more intuitively (for some people) for hexagons - for semantics they're called Bravais-Miller indices to separate them from standard 3-directional Miller indices. Awickert (talk) 00:52, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

text: Kept the {0001} in as one example given, graphite, is hexagonal. Probably could be worded better. Vsmith (talk) 02:55, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Re-worded basal cleavage to include links to Miller Indices - it's now wordy, but hopefully it will help, as it's the first example of them in the article and I can imagine that not everyone looking up mineral cleavage knows about crystallographic notation for planes.

:Yes, I too found it surprising that a run-of-the-mill Wickipedian could have that much original inside knowledge. I have traced the original (longer) source and have inserted the reference in this article. I get the impression that the original author, Stephen Fox himself got a lot of his information from an interview he did of James D. Crank, probably today the world authority on the Dobles and their cars and the only one likely to have this sort of knowledge. Apparently there is a definitive book in preparation and reading between the lines of Jim's recent contributions to the "Steam stuff SACA forum  suggests he is involved in it.
