Talk:1990 Conservative Party leadership election

message: After the 1975 review the "15% margin in Round 1" refers to the total electorate and not just those voting for candidates. Consequently I think it's misleading to show figures that give Thatcher a 16% lead over Heseltine when this only refers to those actively voting for candidates and the distinction proved critical. Does anyone have the numbers of abstentions/spoils/not voting? Timrollpickering 23:12, 24 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Under the old rules (with only the 356 who voted counted) she would have led Hezza by 57.3% to 42.6966%, assuming my maths is right. So although it's sometimes said she would have "won" under the old rules (somebody anonymously removed this claim from the article, so I just checked the maths), it would only have been true had the Returning Officer chosen to round the result by dropping the decimals altogether! Put another way, counting only those who voted, a lead of 54 MPs (15% of 356 is 53.4) was needed, whereas counting the entire parliamentary party, a lead of 56 MPs (15% of 372 is 55.8) was needed. Thatcher had a majority of 52, so she was short under either set of rules, and 4 short under the rules in use in 1990.MissingMia (talk) 13:09, 21 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: You do have a point there about second album syndrome applying to more than albums, but wouldn't making the page under that name mean that we are restricted to only talking about the bad things that can happen to second albums?

thread_title:  Merge with [[second album syndrome]]? 

message: There is no way that we need 93 examples to illustrate the concept of "a second album". I was going to trim this list down to 5-10 albums, but could not decide which ones best embodied the essence of being a second album. So I scrapped the list entirely. If anyone thinks that this article desperately needs a couple of examples, by all means add one or two, but it would probably be best to go with ones that were popularly seen as being particularly dissappointing and to provide references as such.

thread_title: 5.25"?

message: I know some people would collect AOL floppies because it was a convenient source of free floppy disks at a time whne they were the dominant portable storage medium and cost a few dollars each.  In those days AOL was more discriminating about mass-mailing disks but it was possible to dial a 1-800 number and get a free 1.44MB disk. In an attempt to dissuade people from recycling their disks, AOL would often remove the write-protect switch, but a small piece of tape over the slot was a proper workaround. 
:I remember that. I wish they'd have stayed with the floppy disks because not only were they a free source of floppy disks, but it was more environmentally friendly when people would basically recycle the disks opposed to discarding CDs. Another thing people did was reuse the better quality CD cases. PCHS-NJROTC (Messages) 08:43, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Uk (Cyrillic)

message: Is the origin given for this letter correct? I didn't think "у" existed in the early Cyrillic alphabet.  It is much more likely to be a ligature of onu-izhitsa, no?  Izhitsa was adapted from the Greek upsilon and the ligature appears to have the same value as omicron-upsilon does in Greek.  I think it much more likely that "у" derived from the vertical ligature of this letter.
Also it's not true that Uk no longer appears in any Cyrillic alphabet; the vertical ligature is common in Church Slavonic. TCC (talk) (contribs) 23:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

message: If the magazine is no longer published, why in the world does it still explain the depts. in the present tense? For example, it says one article is now on hiatus. Okay, that was true at the end of its run... what about now? If there is no way to get it back, isn't it gone forever? BTW, I would change this myself but I have to assume there's a reason it has remained this way for so long. Also, I feel this article directly contradicts itself anytime it refers to T&T's demise.

Gaming magazines didn't start becoming mainstream until relatively recently and T&T was always one of the less popular ones out there. I've redirected it to the parent company, as they have a decent summary of the magazine. If anyone can find coverage in reliable sources, I'm all for unredirecting this. The only problem is that most of the coverage out there tends to be the non-usable type. Tokyogirl79  (｡◕‿◕｡)  08:47, 22 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Neuro-linguistic programming/FT2

message: This is a temporary page to thrash out core principles and differences on the NLP article, and give it either a consensus direction, or a summary for a mediator.
The talk page is not doing very well. Like other articles with deep conflict of views, it degenerates into rants, nitpicking, and the people who actually want to work on it get pissed off at the inability of others to focus and the need to engage what they see as tangents and ignorance. So this is a separate page. Here are some draft rules:
* If you want to contribute, you can. If you can't, don't. This is not the formal talk page, conciseness and focus are likely to be looked for. This page is for those who can work collaboratively and would otherwise get annoyed at how nothing's being resolved elsewhere.
* So... this page is to identify first, and thrash out second, the big issues. Not the small stuff or personal disagreement.
* The ideal end product of this page is a schemata, or overview approach, for how we will approach the article, which can then be thrashed out for detail in the normal way once we have more consensus on the major "blocking issues".
* Posts on this page should be short and focussed. Long or multiple will get reverted. Again thats not democratic. But long and rambling doesn't achieve much. If it can't be said in summary, it's likely that it isn't being said well. Go away and reword it briefly.
* To make it easy to follow, please add all posts at the end, and not "point by point" broken up. Use bullets liberally and keep it short. It helps improve the flow on complex discussion.
I find it incredible that a dozen reasonable and educated people cannot even agree whether NLP is pseudoscience hype crap, or a learning method suitable for olympic teams and top therapists. That to me is incredible.
For example, whether or not engrams are a "part of NLP", they are not core NLP - that is, they are not recognised across the board as part of the field in the same way that (say) meta-model or anchoring are. The question there is, with NLP being open by design, what variations and imports should be mentioned? And my answer is, we mention that it is open, give examples of things that are not core or are controversial, that some include, some don't... and thats that. Thats how wikipedia works, it's an encyclopedia not a pro/anti platform.
Before we discuss or go further, I know this is a very bold step. I've seen similar unsolvable disputes on other pages. Can we check if a focussed approach like this would be acceptable to anyone else? Would it be okay if this page was moderated if necessary, in case of excess verbal? In traditional wikipedia fashion, votes below please....?
* Yes FT2 23:51, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Takács Quartet

message: Karoly Schranz born in Budapest, Hungary to Katalin Kovacs and Karoly Schranz Sr, in 1952. Began studying the violin at the age of four and later continued at the prestigious Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music where he studied with Mihaly Szucs, second violinist or the Tatrai Quartet. Schranz attended the Academy with other world-renown musicians such as Zoltan Kocsis, Gabor Takacs-Nagy, Miklos Perenyi, Andras Schiff, Jeno Jando, Kalman Berkes, Gabor Ormai, Andras Fejer, Annamaria Karacson (whom he later married) and many others.  He is founding member of the Takacs Quartet which has been in existance since 1975 since the four soccer-playing musicians decided to get together for a little chamber music.  In 1986 he immigrated to Boulder, Colorado with his lovely blonde violinist wife and three beautiful daughters, but spends almost three quarters of the year travelling and concertizing world-wide with the Takacs Quartet.

message: I am publishing a book “REAL ESTATE Chaos”,”Rebuilding an advanced paradigm designed for transparency (instead of opacity) to benefit residential buyer/sellers financing, closing convenience, and fraud”. 
Overcoming client consternation, fear of agent guidance such as lies, manipulating prices, under-table price tricks, and quality of the experience.  
Today’s archaic methodology (since 1923) ruin client trust and disrupt. A discussion of Real Estate Law effects on USA real estate markets, housing, Mortgages, loan costs, transaction closing time frame, frequent illegal violations such as RESPA, conduct of agents, bottom line?  
2021 Data:  6.5MM Transactions; average $375k; 20MM buyers failed and agent quit rate 93% with 4 years experience!  As a seasoned businessman, how can the industry be stabilized?   As independent contractors with mandated Broker bosses, agents need far more quality training, support systems, and should be employed, not contracted!  The overall agent view is Brokers Cash-in big,agents get greed, moral issues get bypassed and US housing industry fails the public desire to own a home.  
Corruption must stop!  Collusion,manipulation tricks, lies must be indicted, Brokers supervised, public rights enforced.  The NAR Lobby group (4x NRA) with political drive Nationally, State, and counties are not supporting agents. The corrupt immoral minority agent or Broker survives a lifetime, thus the rate of immoral corruption grows.
The FED increases Mortgage rates, further slowing of our economy.  Our plan is to initiate software development to speed up closing times, add affordable consolidated transaction costs, retrain Brokers and cadre, push politics to drive growth of morality in business and meet housing needs nationwide.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/American solidarity

message: I haven't even finished the entry yet. It is a new group, but I'd like to know how it can be nominated for deletion before I've even finished it.
: It won't be deleted for at least five days even if it doesn't get a single "keep" vote, so if you think you can prove that the group deserves an article here, you still have time.  Read over the various messages to see what people are objecting to, and try to counter their objections.  Just make sure you post a big message at the top of the list of votes to say that you've changed something, so people will know to have another look.
: Bear in mind that articles on new groups are unlikely to be kept however good they are, and however worthy the group is.  A lot of people here, and particularly those who vote to delete articles, believe that nothing should have an article that doesn't meet some more-or-less well defined "notability" criteria.  In the case of a political pressure group, for example, most people will say that a group that's been mentioned in the media is "notable", while a group that nobody's heard of at all isn't.
: Please don't be discouraged if your article gets deleted.  It's not a comment on you, or on the group, or on their politics - it's all about what Wikipedians believe has had enough impact to belong in an encyclopedia.  If you keep on fighting to make America the America you want to live in, you might just end up changing the world - and then all the people who are saying "delete" now will be queueing up to write the article for you.
