thread_title:  Rewritten 

message: I see tearing frequently occuring in DV if the tape is played back by another camera model and brand than the one it was recorded with, but never with standalone DV decks used for playback. It can't be a display issue as it's obviously inside the original stream, when capturing to PC via Firewire the tearing is present in the resulting files on the hard drive, and it can't be a graphic card issue because all you need to do is switch to the original recording camera model or even better a standalone deck. For instance, I own two different JVC cams, a 1CCD and a 3CCD (the latter with more sophisticated error correction, even), and a tape recorded on one of them will always playback with tearing on the other, and vice versa. Same if recorded with a JVC then played back on a Canon cam, and vice versa, same goes for Sony, Panasonic, etc. (Something to do also with the fact that each company has their own brand DV codec with a different FourCC each (DVSD for MicrosoftDV, CDVC for the software version of CanopusDV...), perhaps?) This tearing is always coupled with a sharp noise or audio dropout. The article ought to be updated accordingly and not focus entirely on monitors, graphic cards, and video games. --79.193.62.79 (talk) 00:33, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

message: Regarding this edit However, prominent neuroscientists such as Greg Hickok and Henry Markram continue to dispute the contention that mirror neurons play a role in ASD.The Myth of Mirror Neurons: The Real Neuroscience of Communication and Cognition, Gregory Hickok, Review: The Quarterly Review of Biology, University of Chicago,Volume 91, Number 3,September 2016
First of all, a review written in 2016 of a book Greg Hickok wrote in 2014 does not demonstrate that ""prominent neuroscientists..continue to dispute" consensus opinions published in 2018. Second, a book review is not a scholarly review article. Third, the visible part of the book review is not flattering to Hickok or to Markram. It points out that 1) the no-MND Markram model Hickok likes is "based solely on a rat model of autism" and 2) Hickok skimps on reporting results favorable to MND. The review concludes by advising potential readers balance Hickok's unbalanced report by reading "several of the key mirror neuron publications." These are the reasons your edit does not belong where you put it, as the concluding sentence of a section about Ramachandran's theories on MND and autism.HouseOfChange (talk) 00:56, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Chronological order: 2014 comes before 2018, not afterward

message: The section on the "Broken Mirrors" theory of autism should describe Ramachandran's contributions. A variety of competing theories have emerged since Ramachandran formulated his theory. Some of the recent theories/research support Ramachandran's ideas and some do not. However, this entry is about Ramachandran's contribution, NOT about the ongoing debate as to the role of mirror neurons in ASD.Neurorel (talk) 05:12, 14 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: There seems to be a double standard here. You want to include, here and in other sections about R's theories, multiple links to people criticizing Ramachandran's theories. But you demand to exclude material about people confirming his theories. I think you will agree that removing both types of information will make the article less informative to readers. Both or neither should be included. Similarly, in the Mirror neurons section, I notice you had linked only to papers criticizing R's hypothesis that MNs are important to empathy. Therefore I added two recent scientific review papers that support R's ideas. HouseOfChange (talk) 17:34, 14 August 2019 (UTC)

As I said before you are using merger to subtly delete, and we know you tried to delete the main anti-vax medical man . It is absurd that you are writing this page when I am the expert on anti-vaccine beliefs. And even more POV when you consider my very similar page called Vaccine critics  was DELETED, and now cheek of all cheeks is now merged to YOUR page of a similar name!!  I have to admire your gall. So instead of having 6-10 pages on anti-vaccine people and their views we will end up having one page that you are editing. Nice one!  And you were asking earlier on about why there are so few anti-vaccine people--that is because their views get taken out of the Encylopedias, for one (of 60 anti-vaccine books I know of only one is in my local library system), just like Creighton's article on vaccination got erased.  It is fascinating to watch it in action.  john 19:35, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I think there are two different versions of the NES game.
I own one of Tengen's carts, and it is different to the version I rented from a Video Update. The version I own was programmed by Westwood Associates, who became Westwood Studios. That makes sense to me, though, as I was a kid who was allowed to visit Westwood, and I remember when I went to their little museum of whatever the programmed, I recall seeing the Pac-Mania Tengen box along with a bunch of other boxes of other games.
The version I rented at Video Update had a different cinema and title screen, and the graphics were slightly different as well. I wish I had more to go on, and until more can be confirmed, it's not worth adding to the article yet. Coffee5binky (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: For what it's worth, the GoodNES ROM set has only the Tengen/Westwood version of the game, which strongly suggests to me that other versions don't exist (GoodNES is a pretty exhaustive collection). I've looked under different regions and pirate carts, but I haven't found a different Pac-Mania game listed (or indeed any Pac-Mania other than the US version).

Talk:Marshal of the air force

message: I propose that the German section be removed from this article.  Some countries use army rank titles for their air force officers whilst others, notably the UK, use titles which are only specific to their air force (usually including Air Marshal).  Germany falls into the former category and thus does not belong on this page.  In English, the ranks of countries in the first category, if translated, are given in the English language as army ranks which is consistent with the usage in the source foreign language.  See the wikipedia article on Generalfeldmarschall for an example for this principle. 88.105.142.255 13:05, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Contradictory statements about Lakota dialect in 'reception' section 

message: As a native american myself i do not think this film is a white savior film. Up until 2020 this film was not criticized for this new term called "white savior" films. Yes the language was historically inaccurate but thats it. This is a fringe opinion that doesnt belong in the movie reception. The movie was highly praised by way more people including native americans. I remember going with my grandfather who was a REAL lakota and he loved it. It seems that was put in there to fit a fringe political bias that not many will agree with. Not to mention it was very unprofessional in its editing. I would like to add to the "white savior" reception section that although very few thought the movie was a white savior film it was also highly praised for decades before this very new criticism of the movie. Before i edit this i will leave this up for discussion for 2 weeks. If no one contests and comes up with a better argument i will go ahead and edit the reception section. I will not remove the white savior opinion but i will add more links and articles to back up the praise and love this movie has by REAL critics. Not just some person who got angry about the film and decided to put in their fringe perception of the movie after they watched it. Not to mention its pretty racist to call someone a "white savior". If you added any other race besides white it would he taken down and shunned immediately. Didnt know it was a bad thing for white people to help native americans??
