thread_title:  Notables 

message: I am proposing a merger of this article with Cary, North Carolina#History. The Cary, North Carolina article recently receive GA status, while this is rated a start class. Much of the content here lacks citations, has dead citations, or is generic (as in Native Americans lived here before Europeans and settlers moved west from the coast). It is missing important content and includes factually incorrect statements such as when Cary High School was founded. There is also the element of unnecessary duplication of other Wikipedia articles. The history section in the Cary, North Carolina]] includes most of its content and has more citations than this article. Cary's history can also be found in articles for Cary High School and Cary's National Register buildings and districts--Page-Walker Hotel, the Ivey-Ellington House, the Utley-Council House, the Nancy Jones House, the Carpenter Historic District, the Green Level Historic District, and the Cary Historic District. These entries were generated by uploads from the National Register and are not going away. Rather than working to solve the problems with this article, it would be easier to move any important content from here to the main Cary article.Rublamb (talk) 22:20, 16 December 2022 (UTC)

What I also find strange, is that the design requirements for a compression function for a hash functions are quite different than those for a block cihper. This is especially strange in light of the fact that no information on the design process of sha is availlable. I wonder if some reputable source out there raises these questions as well?

Talk:Volleyball at the 2004 Summer Olympics

message: I did try to find out which scoring tables the IOC were using for all of the particular sports when I set all of the pages up but could not find the info anywhere. So I used what I thought made sense until I could find out and nobody else has questioned it yet. Since reading your comments I have checked the BBC website tables and they give them as you stated with two points for the win and one point for the draw for both Volleyball and Beach Volleyball. Feel free to change them over, if you are not going to change them, say so in a comment here so that myself or someone else will know they need changing. many thanks for pointing out one my errors, with so much work to do on the Olympics pages mistakes are inevitable.Scraggy4 21:27, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  reply to Silvermane 

message: Hi.  I was wondering why the list of past Olympic champions is on this page, which is supposed to be devoted to Volleyball at the 2004 Games.  Isn't there an specific article on Volleyball (and Beach Volleyball) that covers that (perhaps even an article that deals with Volleyball in the Olympic Games — as a whole)?  In addition, no other articles about any given modality at any given edition lists champions from past editions, I guess because that contradicts the whole point of an article about a modality as it unfolded at one particular edition of the Olympics.  I believe that the list is out of place and should be removed from this particular article.  Redux 01:48, 21 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Modality = Event, but it's not used in the US.  Try googling it, you should have no problems finding websites that mention it.  I'm not involved with this page, and it would appear that the people who are do not mind having the list here, so unless others share my view, I will not edit this article.  As a suggestion, the article could be expanded with an overview of the events, such as who are the main contenders, major upsets, etc.  That could function as a historical of the Volleyball events at the 2004 Olympics.

replies: text: I know. See my my archived talk. I've toned it down considerably, and if it doesn't turn into an ad again, it might be just marginally encyclopedic (the guy has some 600 Googlits, which might be enough for the article to survive a VfD listing). Still, if it does turn into an ad again, I'll list it on VfD myself. The original version also was a copyvio, although the poster later claimed to be the painter himself and has given permission even though he also stated that he wasn't the author of the copied text.

Category talk:New Zealand

message: Over the past week or so, I’ve been giving a lot of thought to the New Zealand and New Zealand locations categories and how they overlap. I know I’m new here and don’t want to come across bouncing on anyone’s toes like a deranged tigger, but I think I’ve hit on a possible solution to this which also makes the categorising of New Zealand pages a lot more logical - I’d appreciate some feedback on it (for that purpose I’m putting this argument on a couple of different discussion pages in the hope that more people see it.
IMO, the New Zealand category is the top category - a hypercategory covering all NZ pages. It should have several subcategories, including the NZ locations one - others could include NZ history, NZ Maori, NZ politics, NZ arts and literature, NZ people, NZ sport etc. Each of those could then have its own subcategories: NZ locations could have NZ islands, NZ mountains, NZ rivers, Canterbury, Taranaki, Otago, etc.; NZ history could have Pre-European history, 19th century history, NZ at war, plus a link to NZ people and NZ politics, etc; NZ Maori could have Maoritanga, Maori folklore and legends, Pre-European History, Maori and politics, etc.; and so on.
About 90% of the straggly articles currently cluttering up the lists at New Zealand and New Zealand locations would then find natural homes in the subcategories. Only articles which didn’t belong in any category, or covered several categories, would need to be listed there. The hypercategories would become simply the lower part of a tree that branches into more readily understandable branches. It wouldn’t take much work - simply recategorising the pages currently listing only to New Zealand which should go into subcategories, and slowly adding other pages found to the categories to which they belong.

message: On the Jan. 21, 2012 newscast from the Korean Central Television, a caption on a footage from Taean read Taean Guyok, rather than Taean Gun.  I am not sure if all counties under the Nampho Special City are now Districts, or just the ones that was Districts in the past (Chollima and Taean).
Also the same footage shows a truck with a license number that starts with "Nampho" rather than "Phyongnam", suggesting the city's status as provincial-level.  Since Nampho is the only Special City it is not clear if Nampho is completely separate from Phyongnam or still maintains some organizational connection.
