Talk:Handheld electronic game

message: A tiny question: How did you call it when you were a kid? I don't believe it was “Handheld electronic game” – there must have been an easier name that people used/use (colloquial/slang). It can also vary region to region of course. I came to this question so that it was only yesterday when I have heard the Czech word digihra for it, that I have never heard before – and am wondering that I am not able to remember any other name (even if we did need to use one obviously). So now I become eager to get to know the words for it in Czech – and even in other languages (that at best are to be written to the Wiktionary). Thanks! --Jiří Janíček (talk) 19:55, 23 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Speaking personally, which is a bad way to start for Wikipedia, growing up with Game and Watch, the quarterback game featured in the photo at the top of Handheld_electronic_game, Astro Wars and others, we had no generic term for them but tended to call them by their names, or "game".

replies: text:  I am unaware of an official WP guideline, but I think we should try to keep the style coherent. For example, see the entries for riders in Silence-Lotto (previously Davitamon-Lotto and Predictor-Lotto), such as Robbie McEwen and Cadel Evans (some haven't been updated for 2008 yet, but acknowledge the 2006/2007 change). Even if we collapse all years to a same line, I think the complete team names should be cited, such as in Evans's infobox. Fbergo (talk) 04:08, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Photo 

message: I think it should be pointed out that the name of this unit was officially Duilio, not Caio Duilio. This was further pointed out by Erminio Bagnasco and Augusto de Toro in their new release about the namesake successors, Italian Battleships Conte di Cavour and Duilio Classes 1911-1956, Seaforth Publishing, 2021: on page 27 they directly state that "as with the famous 1876 battleship, the name Duilio was not preceded by the proper prefix Caio, as applied to all successive ships of that name". I ask therefore if it is possible to modify the title of the page and of every link, not only of this ship, but also of the 1913 battleship. OmegaPog 13:12, 16 July 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Bagnasco and de Toro are pretty well-respected naval historians, and it seems they have come to the conclusion that the ships' names were simply Duilio.

Talk:Alice Faye

message: According to the insert that came with the Alice Faye CD "You'll Never Know" put out by Living Era (ASV), she was actually born in 1912, not 1915 as commonly believed.
In the case of many entertainers, especially female, many of them would lie about their age because of laws concerning child labor practices; Faye was born in 1915.

Hm, well, y'see, it was already nationalized because it was part of BC Hydro...and the buses had worn the "BCH" or "BC Hydro" acronym and/or logo since the BCER's nationalization in the '50s.....So more like "Transit in the region was originally operated by the British Columbia Electric Railway, which under the acronym BCE operated bus fleets after the city's original electric railway was ripped up to make vehicle operation safer [allegedly].....when BCER was made a crown corporation as BC Hydro in 1958 (?), the bus fleet became a division of BC Hydro and operated as such until 1972....etc".....and if I'm not mistaken, it was the new NDP regime that year which created the new transit body....Skookum1 (talk) 08:44, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Steam Reformer

message: Wouldn't another disadvantage be the release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere? Peter Delmonte 19:46, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Another Disadvantage? 

message: Hello,
There is some improved chemistry considerations under methanol where they discuss the steps of the reaction. The equation given here is a simplification that neglects the byproduct of toxic carbon monoxide that occurs if the reaction is not forced to completion by removal of methanol from the reaction, which is important to consider. Furthermore i think the comment "this is disadvantageous because of CO2 production" is somewhat erroneous as the proposed method of hydrogen production is by using reforming to produce the H2 - which produces the hydrogen for the aforementioned fuel cells. Just because the CO2 is not being produced at the consumer level doesnt mean that it is not being produced, although it is worthwile stating that H2 can be manufactured without CO2 production, but this is difficult in large quantities, due to energy considerations.

Talk:Chris Olley

message: I don't like the phrase "creative fulcrum", it is an unnecessarily complex way of expressing his role in "Six By Seven".  Suppose we stripped down the word and said "creative pivot", this sounds a bit silly doesn't it?  It is also ambiguous and to a non-traditional English speaker and could be quite confusing.  So, if there are no objections I will change it to:
He is the lead singer and guitarist for Six By Seven and is also the bands primary creative influence.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Numbers & Professions

message: I am amazed that since I became a member of wikipedia, I have noticed a gradual and discernible decline in the aggregate quality of edits and the quality of edits and discussion by some of the editors are so poor that they are unable to even access a simple topic from google. This is the precise reason that despite more than a million editors the Project has still to become worthy of any serious attention. Ultimately, the editors make the contents and if their basic knowledge base is poor, it gets reflected in many segments of community activities. This is a general comment and has nothing to do with the deletion of this page. --Bhadani 17:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

"Access(ing) a simple topic from google" is something new to me and I fail to grasp its meaning. The deleted article which several editors thought patent nonsense (and none cared to defend, mind you) could reflect back on your argument involving "basic knowledge base".

Talk:Ohio State Route 254

message: The signposted route vs. the actual route at the east end is confusing. Per Google Maps Street View, SR-254 is signposted on Detroit Road until the Wooster Road (US-20) intersection, where an "END" sign is posted. (Note that 113 also stops being posted there, even though it doesn't end there but continues to follow US-20). However, the ODOT straight-line diagrams show 254 following SR-2 onto US-6 (via the "Marion Court" ramps) then following those routes to the US-20/SR-113/SR-237 intersection (Clifton Blvd. at West Clifton Blvd.). Detroit Road between Marion and Wooster is shown as SR-254D (even though 254 does not split into two one-way streets), which turns north on Wooster (which becomes W. Lake Road at that point) and follows Alt. US-6 to the Old Detroit Road intersection. SLD for 254D, with illustration of most of the above All this is to explain why I changed the eastern terminus from Rocky River (where the "END" assembly is) to Lakewood.
