Talk:Glaxo Babies

message: I removed the information re: name change of Glaxo Babies to Maximum Joy. This is not correct; Glaxo Babies changed their name to Gl*xo Babies to appease Glaxo Smith-Kline. Maximum Joy was formed after Rob Chapman left Glaxo Babies to join Transmitters. Maximum Joy should have their own page, not be merged with this page. I maintain the Glaxo Babies MySpace page, with the permission of Rob Chapman and Dan Catsis. The information on which has been provided and verified by Rob Chapman himself.

Talk:Coastal Observatory

message: Hi, I have permission to reuse material from the Coastal Observatory's website, but I'm unsure how to indicate this.
All I really wanted was a page about CoastObs, so we could include a georeference, so we could be flagged on Google Earth, when they update the wikipedia layer.
help! I really think I've missed something; I'm not sure what I've done wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jamiefay (talk • contribs) 
*Wikipedia has a very strong policy regarding Copyright. There are two ways you can go about this. One is to send an email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org from an address associated with the company's website to confirm that you are authorized to copy text from that website. You'd need to leave the page blank(less the tags) until you do so. Alternately you can re-write the article into your own words.

Talk:House Baenre

message: I object in having the drow page and other related pages deleted. This is because I beleive many readers out there would like to be more informed about fictional races, stories, backgrounds, and storylines. When they read a book and come across something (such as a drow) they like to know what it is in more detail. Also, what other books they may be in and/or the author who writes them. I've read some forgotten realm books and had no idea what a drow was. yes, they did explain a little what it was in the book, however I wanted to know more about it. I did while using your site. It was very informative and would love to keep being informed about them and other forgotten realms races and storyies.
As a player and reader of D&D material, I believe these pages to be fundamental to all interested either directly to the material (being a novel reader or a RPG player), or by being interested in fantasy races "culture"/lore. While some information may be edited out for copyright/information directly directed to the book reasons, this sort of entry is essential for the RPG and fantasy scene.

message: This article has recently been moved to "(novel)" for no consistent reason. I will not revert this but do please bear in mind that there is no need for Disambiguation name consistency apart from, if it is a novel then if a disambig name is needed then (novel) is what we use. Particularly in that the novel was the original form of the work it is quite sufficient to use "The Golden Rendezvous". The Golden Rendezvous even currently redirects to the novel.

Talk:Arcachon Bay

message: Excuse me to insist, but the name of the river that runs through the "Forêt de Landes" and has its mouth in the "Bassin d'Arcachon" is REALLY named "La Leyre" and not "L'Eyre". Just have a look on any good map.
Your confusion may come from the fact that the river name changes at its delta shaped mouth.
As well the river is "La Leyre" as its mouth is "le delta de l'Eyre".
In spring and summer seasons, some enjoy canoeing on the river between the villages of Salles and Le Teich. The tourist office proposes "des descentes de la Leyre" (in French) on hired canoes.

replies: text: OK, since you insist, i think i'll leave it alone now. You sound like you know the area much better than i. However, i remain in favor of calling it the Eyre, since the article on it in fr: is fr:Eyre (fleuve) wihout the L (although it goes on explaining the two names in the intro; and go read its associated talk page. Please read those). So apparently both names are valid. But i would like to make a few points here: First, what matters here is what it is called in English, regardless of whether it is on a foreign territory, inhabited by people with a foreign tongue. A few examples: Bay of Biscay (le Golfe de Gascogne), Brittany (La Bretagne), French Riviera (La Côte d'Azur); fr:La Nouvelle-Orléans (New Orleans), fr:Londres (London). So in the end, whatever can be sourced *best* wins. You did provide one (although a .com site instead of a .fr, .gov.fr (if there is such a thing), or a .org, or .net; excuse my disdain), but not a source in English. I looked in a huge (hardback) old atlas here in the United States and it was printed the Eyre. Third, what about this "Delta de L'Eyre", and not "Delta de La Leyre"? Confusing, isn't it? Finally, if you are going to get in edit disputes here, i recommend that you create and use a login, such as User:R.Lehimas or whatever you prefer it to be, so that, in the event a third party has to be called upon for arbitration, s/he can know a little more about who's talking, as contrasts with nameless contributions scattered with different IP addresses, which may not win the referee's favour. Apparently, what's written in here matters to you, so i suggest you join the family. --Jerome Potts 03:20, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Design for assembly

message: I think it is important to point out that DFA is also a primary tool to increase product reliability and quality by assembly simplification. Often when a DFA program needs to garner management support, increased quality/reliability are key factors in a successful persuasion. 
As written the article concentrates on cost reduction/avoidance, and yes, reliability and quality have cost factors (market share, scrap, rework, warranty costs, recall, etc) that are addressed via DFA. However, most readers will not make the link between reliability and costs intuitively, so I find that specific mention of the reliability benefits are generally helpful especially when trying to sell the concept.
It may also be appropriate to differentiate DFA from Poka-Yoke. DFA involves the actual product's design while Poka-Yoke (typically) involves the design of the assembly process. Poka-Yoke may reduce assembly errors by having the parts pre-arranged so that the correct fit is more intuitive and requires less manipulation, DFA would design the part with a built-in tab so that it physically cannot be inserted incorrectly. Poka-Yoke is a suitable backup plan when DFA cannot provide a truly robust assembly process, but generally speaking DFA is more reliable as a solution.
