message: This article has a number of footnotes and citations, but there was one at the bottom that wasn't attached to any text.  It was just a footnote number floating in the middle of nowhere, which doesn't make any sense, and it appeared to me to be a vanity link or something approaching that, so I went ahead and removed it.  It was to AlgiersPoint.us, which looks to me like a haphazardly-assembled page full of ads (one of them for a political candidate) and miscellaneous links -- some commercial, some not. -- Lorrette 01:00, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

message: :The critical difference between gets overflows and buffer overflows involving other standard C functions, such as scanf, is that calls to scanf can usually be corrected by changing the format specifier (e.g., changing "%s" to "%20s"). There is no such "quick fix" for gets.
Isn't replacing it with a call to fgets exactly analogous to replacing "%s" to "%20s" in a scanf call? Until somebody can show me otherwise, I've removed these sentences. - furrykef (Talk at me) 14:44, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, fgets(buffer, sizeof buffer, fp) is different from gets(buffer) in that fgets will always try to store the line-terminating newline character, whereas gets never will. So it's not a drop-in replacement. However, I don't think that fact is important enough to need an explicit mention in the article. --Quuxplusone 08:59, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

I've linked to prospective bio pages, but if there are any more relevant people to be named, it would make sense to link to these instead. If i come accross/write any pages for MtB street riders, I'll mention them. I don't have time for a full-on search at the minute.

message: The article expresses the rumour that Benzali was dissatisfied with his role:"Gone were Benzali and his character (it was rumoured that Benzali was unhappy with the first season and left the program, though it has also been reported he was fired)..."
On this subject, the following is what Daniel Benzali said in an interview for the retrospective documentary film on the DVD for Murder One Season One.
"I think artists try and sort of represent people. Not just themselves and their characters but humanity... and what troubles us to express that. This gave me the oppurtunity to do that. And that's why I say this was one of those magical times, if I may say so, when actor and character converged. I... I was Ted Hoffman. Ted Hoffman was me. And that's still the case, in a way. I never got to... I never got to be Philip Marlowe, but I got to be Ted Hoffman. And... I... (almost breaks down...) I'll always be thankful for that. And I'll always be proud of it."
I don't know, but that doesn't sound like a man who was dissatisfied with his work. Perhaps this section of the article should be ammended.Fionnmatthew 00:12, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

It does not seem to be written with a brand in mind (despite the similarities in name), and only has one source; it is essentially a synonymous article with less information.

Talk:Velouria

message: This is not invented (I wish I could come up with something like that), but actually comes from many Frank Black interviews in which he talked about the song. There is some extended interpretation given by myself, just because I had to tie the story up with the lyrics and those interviews and many other views given by fans of the band which were coincidental.
I tried to be as economic as possible, not to add anything by myself. And I paste it here simply because it is a good... Well, even if only a good starting point, if not all valid.
::The song is about a woman. The writer remembers seeing her when driving by Northern California, close to Mt. Shasta. He believes she lives there, maybe under the mountain, because she's somewhat related to the Lemurians, a mythical people who came from the lost continent of Lemuria. In California, there are people who believe the myth in those terms.
::The thing is, the writer remembers her covered in a kind of velvet-like fabric, like velour or velveteen, maybe due to the cold and snow of Mt. Shasta. The "coat" with her eyes out makes her look like a lemur, which is funny, given the name of her people. A nice pun.
::The writer wants to give her a name. When "Victoria" comes to mind, he makes the connection to "Velouria, the woman dressed in velour". He also remembers she, somehow, reflected the sea and the snow of Mt. Shasta, even if wearing the velour. Maybe this ability was due to her mysterious (some say "alien-like") origin. When Mt. Shasta in covered in snow and melting, she also reflects the "tears of Shasta".
::The final touch is, he got intrigued by that woman - after all, she was too exotic to go unnoticed. He can't help but admiring her and thinking about the longest times her story has been recounted.
