message: The person who placed the POV and rewrite tags didn't comment here, so I will. Comments such as "Mecano was to become the most important Spanish-speaking groups of the 80s and the early 90s" are a clear indication that this article needs to be reviewed for POV; nevertheless, the article isn't so completely riddled with such statements that it needs to be entirely rewritten. 24.126.199.129 23:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: POV

message: It talks about them in the past tense, but never tells when they stopped. A quick search doesn't give any suggestion they don't exist anymore (http://www.mecano.net/). Because of this I changed to "is". If it should be "was" please also give at least some details about when they stopped.
According to the Spanish Mecano entry in Wikipedia, the group stopped working together in 1991 and reunited briefly in 1997, in which year they officially broke up. So yes, the group is past history.  Anyway, I will change "Former Members" to "Members" because they never left the band while it was still funtioning as Mecano.  Lennon, McCartney, Starr, and Harrison are not usually referred to as Beatles former members.

Template talk:Dragon Ball games

message: I've organized this template by game-system, but the result is unwieldy. We may want to consider changing this to by genre (fighting vs rpg vs side scroller) or by series (original famicom, gokuden, legacy of goku, budokai, etc.). Either way, it's a long list and most of the games don't yet have articles. I am hoping that having this list will encourage good articles on the older games. JRP 23:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Organization

message: Just FYI, this list was culled from Dragon Ball (franchise) and "Dragon Ball Z Video Games" site. The latter site is excellent, but only lists games prior to 1997. It does have boxart for every game which we may be able to get permission to use. After that, I did the best I could with Amazon.com to come up with the recent games. Fortunately, 1997-2002 was a bit of a lull in DB game production as the series was dead in Japan and not yet really catching on in the US, so I may not have missed any... at least none that made it to the US.

Talk:Soho, West Midlands

message: What is the source for the derivation of Soho? 
I have read - possibly in Cockin, T. (2000) The Staffordshire Encyclopaedia, Barlaston, Stoke-on-Trent, Malthouse - that it is derived from an inn on the heath with the name Soho, which is a hunting term equivalent to 'tally ho'. The OED (2nd ed, online, 1989) gives the following definition: 'A call used by huntsmen to direct the attention of the dogs or of other hunters to a hare'. This is as credible as the 'South House' derivation, and I would suggest that we track the relevant sources and identify them here.
For toponomy and references see Soho, London.

message: There is a new Wikipedia article about Paper Abortion. Paper Abortion is about giving men the right to not refuse to become a father in the period of time, where women can have an abortion. It is highly debated and some countries (Sweden/Denmark) think of legalizing it. PS! It's not about giving men the right to force women to have an abortion or not. It is about giving men the right, as women have, to not become a parent. The women's right to her own body is not touched. I think you maybe could link to it?

Talk:Pizza-box form factor

message: Pizza box should not redirect here. Why? Because there should be a Wikipedia article on pizza boxes, their variations, and the features provided by various pizza companies (for example, Domino's Pizza's "Heat Wave" box). Real pizza boxes are much more common than computers shaped like pizza boxes. Hence, I created a stub at pizza box. Andrew pmk | Talk 23:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I think the conflict here is that what used to be called pizza box is no longer really very pizza-box like copared to 1U rack mount boxes. This distinction should be made, or, as is my limited hardware experience, that picture should be removed entirely, and we should just talk about what I know is a pizza box: a 1U or 2U rack mount. —Fitch 01:54, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  old desktops vs. new rack-mounts 

message: I work in the IT industry, and have heard the word "pizza box" used by lots of professionals to refer to various systems, most commonly, the Sun Ultra 5 workstation.  I myself own 5 of these "pizza boxes."   I don't perosnally get it, as the units are actually quite a bit thicker than a typical pizza box (in contrast to a 1U server, which really is just about the size of a medium pizza box ;) ).  I'm of the opinion that this article should stay where it is, but renamed to Pizza Boxes (Computing) or somesuch.

Unfortunately, despite being from the Tyne and Wear/Northumberland border I don't know a great deal about Hedley (it is VERY small). If it was Wylam or Hexham (the town I was born in) that would be another matter. Still, if anyone has anything to add feel free to. Also, with regard to its name, I think it MAY be named after an industrialist named Hedley who was born in Newburn, Northumberland (now a village in Newcastle).

message: Did Corel ever own Paradox? Josh Parris # 00:19, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Corel

message: This article contains some inaccuracies (unfortunately I don't have time to edit it).
First off, Word Perfect never aquired Paradox or any other Borland product that I'm aware of.  Rather Word Perfect simply had a marketing / bundling deal with Borland that allowed the inclusion of  Paradox and Quatro Pro in the Word Perfect Office.  Likewise Borland bundled Word Perfect and Presentations in the Borland Office Suite.  (In hind site, this seems confusing - two different suites with the same products - maybe I'm forgetting something.)
Corel did aquire Paradox in 1996, but just the product and source code (I don't know the details of the contract around IP - sorry).  The people working on Paradox either found other jobs inside Borland or left the company.

thread_title:  Inaccuracies 

message: Ansa Corporation was supposed named after the Answer table methodology of Paradox, if you pronounce Answer with a bit of Southern 'twang. :)
PAL was a very powerful language in its time in that you can record the keyboard actions into a script (*.sc), then edit the script in the internal editor, or even export to external editor. Once editing is done, run it once and it will be "compiled" (*.sc2) which helps its speed. It also has a full debugger in that you can stop the action and step through line-by-line through the script one command at a time to trace the problem. 
Reports in PAL, along with forms, are "bound" to specific tables with "family" relation files (*.FAM). You can substitute a different table to the form or report, but they must match nearly exactly, else you will have to confirm each and every field change. 
As PAL are designed for DOS, reports are assumed to be using Courier or similar fixed-pitch font. While laser printers are supported, one must enter specific config codes. One can also embed config codes in the report itself for special circumstances, like skipping lines, special logos, and so on. 
While Paradox for Windows version changed, internally the program has changed only cosmetically since Paradox 9.
