message: There should be a source for the claim that Heidegger's alleged anti-semitism was rooted in his belief that jews were not whole Daseins.  There is much scholarship on the issue of Heidegger's links to the Nazi party and whether or not he was truly anti-semitic.  The wording damages the NPOV of this page.--Sam 04:42, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Missing the most important town 

message: Some of these claims are a little bit spurious! There are prehistoric artefacts nearly everywhere in Britain, not just Amesbury and Thatcham; otherwise everywhere could be called "continuosly settled". This article is called Oldest town in Britain - Colchester (which was a settlement from the 1st Century BC onwards) was properly a town from AD49 until the early Fifth century when evidence runs becomes sketchy until it re-enters the record (as a town) at the beginning of the 10th century. Whilst Ipswich was founded over 600 years later it has better evidence for claiming to be a town continuously from that time onwards. So Colchester can claim to be the oldest town by proper definition and archaeology to 49AD, and from historical records that go back to 77AD, whilst Ipswich can claim (with some jiggery-pokery with evidence...) to be the oldest continuously occupied town. The other examples need better references. Even the Ipswich section needs some proper references to historical and archaeological evidence.
Also the bit on Abingdon being the only place where Iron Age earthworks were occupied by Romans and then into the Saxon period is factually wrong and needs to be removed - see Camulodunum

Talk:Carrauntoohil

message: Hi , sorry to go back over this, but am getting it ready for a WP:GAN.  Paul Tempan is the academic in question (Queens University), and he wrote the “Irish Mountain Placenames Database” (one referenced).  He has also written specific papers on Carrauntoohil’s name , which I eill use.  Another major figure in Irish placenames, Mícheál B. Ó Mainnín, has also written on the correct spelling (he was Paul’s boss in QUB).  The OSI is not only using Carrauntoohil on all maps, but unlike previously, you no longer get any results if you search for Carrauntoohill (ie two l’a) on their site.  Am very busy in RL, but will come back back in a few days with a better suggested wording (point taken re use of term misspelling) for this paragraph, and more references.  Thanks for you patience. Britishfinance (talk) 19:51, 26 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure . If there are more sources available, to support the use of terms like "correct" or "technically correct" or similar, then that's cool. As noted, I don't think that the source referenced supports it (on its own). Together with other sources, it certainly supports terms like "common" and "official". Per your note, it was actually specifically because of the GA nom that I made the change. (To ensure that nobody could claim that GA criteria 2 isn't met :) ) Hope all OK IRL. Strange times.

message: Regarding this category change, I'm not sure this book qualifies as non-fiction. This isn't actually a real-word type encyclopedia about the Dune franchise, it's basically authorized fan fiction of an encyclopedia that would exist within the fictional universe.

If anyone has any photos (or images of old block prints without copyright issues) of the game that they could contribute, it would be appreciated . They would also be useful on the football page. Also perhaps someone would like to cross-post this request onto Japanese Wikipedia. Mintguy (T)
:Kemari is ancient. The costumes are unlike anything you'll find in the US. The two articles tell more about the ball (stuffing removed after the ball assumes its shape, etc.).

From the article:
The first evidence of kemari is from 6144.[1] The rules were standardized from the 113th century.[1]
6144? AD? BC? 113th century; 113 centuries is 11,300 years. Japan has a fairly old culture, but not that old!

Talk:Magic number (programming)

message: Does  really belong in this article? I'm not saying it doesn't belong somewhere, but I am not sure that it belongs here. These limits are not really magic numbers, they are fundamental. The article Integer (computer science), to which  redirects, has them, but only in decimal (and in a sense they are "magic" in decimal as seemingly arbitrary, whereas in hex they are plainly not). I am tempted to add the hex into the Integer article and delete this section: there are no redirects to it, but of course other articles might link to it, and I would check thoroughly they are retargeted if consensus were to make that move.
For that matter, the section should probably be renamed "Integer type limits". 94.21.38.126 (talk) 10:17, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I had the same remark. The only justification to keep these limits here would be to provide the name to use instead of writing these magic numbers in code, example INT_MAX in C/C++, however that would become a list of names specific to each language. A reference to headers like <limits.h> in the section "Unnamed numerical constants" should be enough for that article. Teuxe (talk) 13:19, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

I wanted to know how exactly they attained this knowledge and why. Did they study intensively ? Did they travel to do research ? Did they keep notes of records ?

Talk:Continuity error

message: I would suggest that you can't necessarily separate visual errors from plot errors, since you may not know why a continuity error occurred. As an example, consider the movie Space Mutiny (1988), in which Lt. Lemont is shot dead by Elijah Kalgan near a nightclub, only to reappear on the bridge of the Southern Sun in the next scene. It may have been a simple edit problem, but rearranging the scenes disrupts the narrative flow, suggesting it may have been a plot error. Or maybe it was a simple oversight, since Lemont doesn't seem to have been essential to that bridge scene. I'd recommend removing the categorization, especially since the list isn't very long or complex anyway. -- Jeff Q 18:30, 20 Apr 2004 (UTC)
