thread_title: POV claims

message: I am wondering if it would not be a better idea to redirect Kylix to Borland Kylix instead of the othe way around (as it is now).
The reason for this is that it seems more natural to redirect a shorter version of a name to a longer version, especially since it might clash in the future (of course Borland Kylix could also clash, but I consider it less likely).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.185.74.159 (talk) 13:43, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Touring Motor Glider

message: I think this article should be merged with Motor glider. The MG article looks a bit lopsided without this content. And this article looks to short to stand alone, even with the additional content from Gliding. This title would remain with a redirect to Motor glider.Dhaluza 
:Support. I tended to think of a motor glider as being a light aircraft with a bigger wingspan ie a TMG.  Aircraft with retractable propellers I thought of as primarily gliders.  By analogy some schooners have auxiliary engines, but you would have still called them sailing ships.  I created the the TMG article to keep Grob 109s etc out of the Glider article. However the Stemme lives in both camps, and so I suppose I have to re-adjust my pre-conceptions. If I were really pedantic, I would prefer calling the other article 'motorized gliders' but the subtlety would be lost on most people. JMcC 20:48, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pineau d'Aunis

message: This is garbled at some point. Saumur is not in the Aunis. An English equivalent to speaking of "a priory known as Aunis that existed outside of the commune of Saumur" would be "a priory known as Rutland that existed outside of Oakham" All physical traces of the two priories "d'Aunis", i.e. in the Aunis, that belonged to the Plantagenet foundation, Fontevraud Abbey, had disappeared by 1858, when P. Marchegay published two articles, "Chartes de Fontevraud concernant l'Aunis et La Rochelle", in  Bibliothèque de l'école des chartes 19 1858:132-170 and 321-347. I have lightly scanned through both articles.  
Charters remained, however, sometimes mentioning vignes and their locations, but never specifying the vines planted in them. The more important of the two was the priory of Sainte-Catherine de La Rochelle, at La Rochelle, the major seaport of the Aunis. The other was Saint-Bibien d'Argenson in the forest of Benon, in the parish of Vouhé. 
But could a priory at Saint-Médard-d'Aunis, Saint-Ouen d'Aunis, Saint-Sauveur d'Aunis etc be intended?--Wetman (talk) 03:16, 7 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Jean Marie Marcelin Gilibert

message: Spanish language sources describe his place of birth as "Fustinag" in Haute Garonne, but there is no such place in that area of France. There is a small town called Fustignac though so I will use this name - as you can see with what happened to his name, Spanish language sources from that period seem to like turning names into a Spanish equivalent, so "Fustinag" is almost certainly just a Spanish version of Fustignac. This is also the place of birth given in French Wiki. FOARP (talk) 08:30, 17 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Active object (Symbian OS)

Symbian is a pre-emptive multitasking system. How come the article is talking about cooperative multitasking?
Cheers! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maju wiki (talk • contribs) 22:40, 23 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the author of this section has confused "active object" with "active objects". Therefore, I suggest this section be moved to the other article, and any confusion between the two be cleaned up according to the "overlap" section discussed below. — Stimpy 16:55, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Symbian is pre-emptive, indeed. The thing is that in Symbian there are three type of objects involved in the Active Object: many Asynchronous Service Providers, one Active Scheduler and many Active Objects. The asynchronous service providers are on different threads than the Active Scheduler and the Active Objects, but this last two share the same thread -which is, in fact, the same as the application. Because of this reason, the multitasking performed by the Active Scheduler and the Active Objects is cooperative.Jmpep (talk) 00:01, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: As I understand it, an active object has to do with multithreading, whereas active objects is a variant of the lockstep protocol in which packets from one client to another are wrapped in such a way that neither of them can read it until they've both negotiated their intentions.

replies: text: I do not see what Symbian's Active Object pattern has to do with the lockstep protocol. This is an explanation from Nokia on the subject: http://wiki.forum.nokia.com/index.php/Active_Objects_in_Symbian_OS.

She returned to Devonport, where the complete gas turbine unit was removed and replaced in just 24 hours. This was followed by a full power trial between Devonport and Brest (France) where speeds of 36 knots were achieved in a near gale with a following sea. 
Later during the 1979 Deployment, Ambuscade was instructed to carry out a performance demonstration to members of the Mexican Navy off Acapulco. She managed 0 to 30 knots in less than 2 minutes and an emergency stop from 30 knots in just 30 seconds. Ambuscade truly was an ocean greyhound, but suffered problems where the aluminium superstructure joined the steel hull.

message: I've been avoiding the use of "fair" in terms of describing skintone because of its history connotating that lighter skin is more beautiful and more melanized skin is undesirable. 
I'm still very inexperienced with editing pages here. There are a lot of interacting elements in editing Wikimedia project pages, especially I imagine on this element which looks like a Wikimedia element hosted on a Wikipedia page. 
I'm hoping to get assistance with links to references specifically relevant to this situation. I propose substituting "pale" or "very light" for the word "fair" in the photo caption on this page.

Talk:Adel (disambiguation)

message: This page was recently moved from Adel to Adel (disambiguation) and Adel was made into a redirect to German nobility.  I do not agree that German nobility is the primary usage of the word "Adel", which has many uses as placename and personal name, so I request that this disambiguation page be moved back to the title "Adel".  It may be useful to note that the "What links here" to the Adel page are predominantly links to the English settlement of Adel, Leeds (I'd fix them immediately, except that it seems perhaps useful to leave them here as evidence!), and some references to the personal name.

Talk:Adela

message: In my view, dividing this DAB page into sections – each of which contained precisely one entry – is completely ridiculous. MOS:DAB#Organizing long lists by subject agrees: "Very small sections may impede navigation, and should usually be avoided". This page is not an exception. Note also only longer DAB pages should be split into sections. With exactly five entries, this is emphatically not a candidate for splitting into sections in the first place.
Because the change was so clearly both unhelpful to readers and entirely against the spirit and letter of the disambiguation guidelines, I have gone ahead and removed the sections. I am however concerned that we are on the verge of, if not actually engaged in, an edit war. Can we therefore please discuss all changes we make or wish to make here in order to maximise transparency and move towards consensus.
