Talk:1918 Christmas crisis

message: Shouldn't this be renamed to Battle of the Berlin Schloss?-- Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk  06:47, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Name

message: I am requesting that this page be renamed "Battle of the Berlin Palace".
The major objection to the title is the word "Schloss". There is no reason to use the German word rather than the English translation "Palace". If nothing else, the Wikipedia page about the building is "Berlin Palace", not "Berlin Schloss".
Changing "Skirmish" to "Battle" can be justified by the facts that 1) the event doesn't quite fit the English definition ('an episode of irregular or unpremeditated fighting, especially between small or outlying parts of armies or fleets') and 2) the German names for the event (Weihnachtskämpfe and Weihnachtsaufstand) mean Christmas battles / Christmas uprising; skirmish is usually Scharmützel.
Please join the conversation here. GHStPaulMN (talk) 14:51, 7 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: While "Schloss" isn't equivalent to "palace", this particular Schloss is indeed called a palace most of the time, so that bit is fine. However, I am not convinced that "battle" is the most widely used term, and "Battle of the Berlin Palace" has no Ghits other than this page.  Perhaps Christmas fights? I find a few hits for that phrase at least. —Kusma (talk) 15:59, 12 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: There doesn't seem to be a common name for the event in English – in fact a lot of sources that write about it don't mention a name at all. When it is called something, 'Berlin Palace' doesn't seem to show up much if at all, so I'm now in favor of using something with Christmas, like the German. I don't much like 'fights', though, because it doesn't quite sound right with armed engagements. I did find several uses of 'Christmas Battle', notably in the translation of H.A. Winkler's Der Lange Weg nach Westen Bd. 1. It's also used in R. Gerwarth's November 1918 and A. Read's World on Fire. The translation of Winkler's Geschichte des Westens, Die Zeit der Weltkriege uses 'Berlin Chistmas Struggles'. My vote now would be for either 'Berlin Christmas Battles' or 'Berlin Christmas Struggles'. Putting 'Berlin' in the name makes sense to me to distinguish it from other Christmas fighting. GHStPaulMN (talk) 14:13, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

text: I just found a much larger number of references to 'Christmas crisis'. That's another option even though it isn't as close to the German. It, too, could include 'Berlin', or (something else I just thought of for all the options) append '1918'.  GHStPaulMN (talk) 17:56, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: "1918 Christmas crisis" or something like that would work for me. "Christmas crisis" on its own means a huge number of other things, both in history and psychology. —Kusma (talk) 11:36, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: OK, unless anyone raises an objection, "1918 Christmas crisis" it is. I plan to do the move & change the name in affected articles tomorrow, 18 March. GHStPaulMN (talk) 14:29, 17 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Move-to-front transform

message: I find this statement a bit odd:
: "As an example, imagine we wish to compress Hamlet's soliloquy (To be, or not to be...). We can calculate the entropy of this message to be 7033 bits."
Where did 7033 bits come from? I could transmit this using ASCII, in which case it would take 8*len("To be, or not to be...") = 8*22 = 176 bits. Is this referring to the whole soliloquy? --dantheox 06:10, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

message: There are currently several variations to MTF, and numerous alternative algorithms designed to achieve better results.  MTF can create inefficiencies since it always moves every character all the way to the front of the line when it occurs, even if that character only occurs once in the entire file.
  One common variation is the "sticky" MTF, which reserves 0 for duplicates, but moves characters down only a specific distance on the list, or creates some cutoff so that characters above that cutoff cannot be moved to the bottom of the list.
  Another variation is the frequency count algorithm family, which use various methods to calculate the relative local frequencies of characters and sort them accordingly, again reserving 0 for runs.
Since this is a popular transform performed in some common compression algorithms, it seems appropriate that some of the variations be noted or briefly defined.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.45.169.2 (talk) 14:10, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Include variations and alternatives 

message: I have the following two suggestsions for the python example:
- Change names to proper, and more descriptive English names (e.g. texte -->  plaintext, liste --> dictionary, mot_code --> encodedtext). Btw, was the python code taken from some French version? :)
- Simplify a bit the generation of the alphabet at the beginning.
Instead of this:
        # Initialise the list of characters (i.e. the dictionary)
	liste = list()
	# read in each character
	for c in texte:
		# if the character is not already in the dictionary, append it
		if c not in liste:
			liste.append(str(c))
	# sort dictionary
	liste.sort()
I suggest this:
        # Initialise the list of characters (i.e. the dictionary)
        dictionary = sorted(list(set(plaintext)))

This is incorrect. The entropy of the message is not changed at all (you need lossly coding for that) but rather correlations/signal dependencies are capitalized to reduce the mean word length of the coded data.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.75.31.228 (talk) 13:25, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
