:Any variable or template with a resolution of smaller than one day should not placed in articles. These variables only indicate when the article was parsed and cached, they may be lagged by many hours or even days compared to the time the page is viewed. 
...and I'm eager to comply. After all, I'm the one who started this whole mess :P
I was only really interested in getting info about timezones and daylight savings time to be updated automatically. So a reader could find out at a glance if a given part of Australia or a country in Europe is on Daylight saving.
The idea of showing the "current time" in New York (Eastern Daylight Time since April 2nd) or in any other time zone, was merely a curiosity. If it slows down the server or misleads the reader, then let's not do it.
I respect Tim a lot, and I think that whatever he recommends, we all should go along with. --Uncle Ed 15:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

That's about as complicated as it gets with date math calculations, but it seems to update on every page view... is my browser somehow forcing a cache purge every time I view the page? Do the 'tomorrow' type templates always return tomorrow's date? They seem to for me, but that's where I don't understand the bit about the values being "lagged". --CBDunkerson 16:10, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: World Records

message: Hello,
As you can see, the link section is constantly growing or modified again and again. This discussion should help to find a final agreement about which links to keep and which to dump.
I really think links to shop websites are not useful for most of people who read the powerball article. They don't yield more information, it's  only advertisement. Priority should be given to informative links, as implied by the wikipedia rules. Hope some people will come to support me on this idea.
I will keep the Dynabee website as a link because there are some informations and it's in english, but there is no sense to keep a link to a dutch site(or any other language) on the english version of the Powerball wiki.
:: As for me, I would like to delete dynabee.de - it's not informative, and contains lots of information not in english. And the site - it also looks so outdated! -Dmitrek 14:53, 14 June 2007 (UTC)

The legacy of Sati' al-Husri is also examined in some depth in Kanan Makiya's Republic of Fear: The Politics of Modern Iraq.  It might also be helpful to mention his son, Khaldun, who was an important intellectual in his own right.
Was he born in Sanaa or Aleppo? I would assume Aleppo. Or is Sanaa also the name of a village near Aleppo? Presently the link redirects to the capital of Yemen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.243.250.33 (talk) 22:43, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I have replaced "in Greenwich, England" with "(GMT, approximately)".  By UK Law, we still in principle use GMT-based time in the UK, not UTC-based - so our UTC-based time signals are not legal.  More importantly, the civil time in Greenwich is advanced one hour in Summer.

message: A time zone is a place. A time offset is a number of hours and minutes. I can't believe that people are getting area confused with quantity, but that's life for you.
Half the reference information I see on the Internet uses the UTC offset to identify time zones. Is this pushback against the US-led NATO designations? Zulu time is "zero" offset from Greenwich Mean Time, and various letters of the alphabet are used for the other Nautical time zones. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed Poor (talk • contribs) 16:02, 27 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Projected coordinate system

message: Suggested Change
Last paragraph before image -
"A GPS unit will commonly give a 10 digit grid reference, so in order to give a 6 figure reference from that you will have to ignore the 4th, 5th digits while using the 9th and 10th digits for rounding"
Should it not be ignore the 5th & 10th digit and use the 4th and 9th for rounding
e.g. 
1122366778 would become 112668
Yes this is correct: including your example would also help as this seems quite difficult to explain

thread_title: Early comments

message: I remember reading up into DCE several years ago, I found a lot of accusations on the web that Microsoft "hijacked" a of code from  DCE/RPC in "MSRPC" 
MSRPC is derived from the Open Group's DCE 1.1 reference implementation, but has been copyrighted by Microsoft.  None of the UNIX vendors at the time wanted to implement DCE/RPC it at the time, so it was generally considered a non-issue.
Later on, DCOM would be 'donated' by  MicroSoft to the Open Group as a marketing stunt. The "D" to COM was due to extensive use of DCE/RPC – more specifically Microsoft's "enhanced" version, known as MSRPC.  However, DCOM is pretty worthless without a bunch of application-level class libraries, such as ODBC, OLE DB, ADO, and ASP to run on top of it. Microsoft never released these specifications to the public, so these technologies have never been available for Unix.

If the two titles are taken literally, the 'centumviri' literally means 'the hundred men' which refers to the pool from which the court was selected. The articles both deal more with the function and history of the court itself rather than the pool, so perhaps it is more appropriate to call it 'The Centumviral court'?

I rewrote and moved the article (and concomitantly changed my delete to keep), and I think the article in its present form addresses the concerns of those who, upon my nomination, supported delete.
