Talk:MS Noordam

message: I have a coaster of this ship I got because I dig the blue and white Dutch tiles. It lists the time frame for the original ship (1902-1928) But it's listed as the SS Noordam I. I was wondering if anyone could confirm this as I see MS listed. I'm not sure if this is an error or not.
:The current Noordam (and the one before it) are motor ships (i.e. carry an MS prefix). The 1902 and 1938 Noordams were steamships (and therefore carried an SS prefix). Since this article is theoretically at least about the current Noordam, it's titeled MS Noordam. In fact, to conform with WikiProject Ships guidelines, this article should be split into four articles, one for each incarnation of the ship (, , and ). — Kjet (talk · contribs) 09:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

message: I did a quick check of the itineraries posted to the Holland America Line website to get the months she sails to Alaska and the months she sails to destinations in Australia and New Zealand.  I then updated this section to reflect the posted itineraries.  Fortunately, Holland America Line publishes itineraries up to two years in advance, so the itinerary information is accurate for a couple of years.  However, this section needs to be regularly evergreened to reflect future itineraries when needed.162.157.30.43 (talk) 16:11, 9 February 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Patch release

message: This article can be disproved using a negative. Microsoft, one of the most prolific software vendors issues major releases to their operating systems by incrementing the value to the right of the decimal as well as to the left. For instance, Windows 2000 was version 5.0, and Windows XP was 5.1. Likewise Vista was 6.0 and 7 was 6.1. Neither of those examples are free or minor, the latter which is a essential element of this page. I suggest removing this page completely and instead updating or clarifying the numbering schemes of the Software versioning page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_versioning#Schemes.

message: Sources like Croatian encyclopedia or local news are not RS for something as someone's ethnic background, plus half of the sources presented are dead link and not available.

message: :The same year, construction started on a 21-km four-phase project between the 417 in Ottawa and McNeely Avenue (the former Highway 15 in Carleton Place) to convert Highway 7 to a four-lane, controlled access highway.
There is some erroneous information here.  McNeely Avenue is not the former Highway 15.  The former Highway 15 has been become Lanark County Road 29 (as that portion of former Highway 15 had previously been numbered as Highway 29).  McNeely Avenue is a bypass for that road which has been constructed (or, at least, completed) since the highway was downloaded.  The former Highway 15 went through downtown Carleton Place and intersects Highway 7 at the current terminus of Highway 15 (the road now continues into Carleton Place as Franktown Road instead of Highway 15).
I will edit the article to remove the erroneous detail, but will likely lose some of the detail that is already there.  If others wish to include that info in a corrected version, I don't object. - Cafemusique (talk) 18:42, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
