message: While I appreciate there is a distinct historical progression through the page, there is still a more pressing volume of page hits for Amazon River (345905  times in the last 90 days) than Amazons (138758  times in the last 90 days).
I cannot help but think that the eponyms should be moved to a "people" section, and Amazon river moved higher and more prominently on the page. It is also possible that the search for "Amazon" should be redirected to the river, with a 3:1 viewing rate it would seem more appropriate. Chaosdruid (talk) 17:07, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

message: The page was marked as copy and paste from another source.
This is not infact true and it does not violate copyrighted material.
What is true, though, is that the article stub is a rewording of some
of the statements made on the project home page, which is an opensource project
and distributes all software (including the project home page) "as is".
The changes made within the two minutes of article creation therefore do not violate any copyright.

Talk:Logitech G25

message: The wording of the paragraph before the list suggests that most of the features listed aren't available on lower priced wheels. 900° rotation is usually found in wheels that are less than half the price (Logitech DFP).
: It says "often not found in cheaper wheels". I think that's ok to say so, altough not a big deal for me if it was changed. Logitech's DFP and Fanatec Porsche 911 Turbo Wheel are the only ones with 900 rotation that I know (excluding so called "pro wheels", ECCI, Thomas Superwheel, Frex and so on). There are LOTS of other cheap wheels with no 900 rotation, so that makes 900 rotation kind of "exclusive" feature. Not to mention that it says so above the list and it means also the shifter and clutch pedal which are pretty much not available on cheaper wheels. Timppis 19:54, 14 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Lightmap

message: "For example, a lightmap scale of 32 luxels per world unit would give a lower quality than a scale of 16 luxels per world unit, although it may improve in-game performance."  This seems backwards to me. Alex Dodge 01:17, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's correct, but the wording is backwards. It should probably be: One world unit per 32 luxels. As you can see, if one luxel represents 32 world units (instead of just one), you get aliasing, since a single luxel is stretched over 32 world units. -- Randilyn 06:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:BSP (file format)

message: I disagree with "A .BSP file includes everything in the map, except the textures (with the exception of Half-Life, BSP version 30), ". I think that BSP-files for Quake I DO contain all the textures for that map.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.35.185.207 (talk) 10:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The opening paragraph seems a little inaccurate:
"BSP files use binary space partitioning to generate levels that can be rendered quickly while minimizing the number of polygons that need to be redrawn every time the screen refreshes."
Actually the BSP isn't directly used to cull the rendering - which seems to be a common error - perhaps because it can be used to minimise overdraw by drawing from front to back - but is used to lookup the current leaf or cluster that a point is in, or the set of leaves and clusters an AABB overlaps, etc.
The PVS data is used for the render culling, which groups BSP leaves into clusters which contain a list of which other clusters are visible to them. The BSP tree is used to generate this since it provides well behaved data (convex regions) that makes the PVS data easier to calculate. This is not unique to BSP trees or BSP files and the infact PVS data need not actually be included to create a valid BSP file... try compiling with novis in Radiant or whatever to see what I mean.
Also whats up with "minimizing the number of polygons that need to be redrawn every time the screen refreshes"? Its pretty wordy - how about: "minimising the number of polygons drawn".
"One of the biggest problems with the .BSP file format is that large open areas do not work well due to the nature of the partitioning algorithm used."
This has nothing to do with the BSP format or the BSP tree data structure, which has similar lookup complexity to any other binary lookup tree - O(log n). I suspect this again refers to the PVS implementation, because being a large open area is precisely the same thing as being difficult to optimise the PVS. Every visibility culling algorithm suffers from this problem by default.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Shawn Hornbeck

message: *Keep - In agreement with others. Since everything I was thinking has already been said, I feel I shouldn't say anything other than to keep this article as well as the one about Ben Ownby. However, the Ownby article should really be cleaned up. Fanficgurl January 13 2007 (UTC)
Keep - I feel that the pages for Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownby should definitely be kept.  This case is huge and I feel we have only begun to unravel everything that has happened to Shawn in the past years.  Cases such as this are important for society to remember and learn from.  We might never know exactly what happened, but this case is truly unbelievable.   harpbrat  1/14/07
Strong Delete - Acknowledged he is in the public eye, but this is not encyclopedic. Unfortunately, kidnapping occurs all over the world, and it just so happened that this one boy landed in the public eye simply because of the length of his captor's hold on him. Please get rid of this article; this kid already has his name in the press- and if it's exposed that he's been molested or raped- it simply is not right to throw his name on some wiki article for the whole world to see. You want encyclopedic? Write about the trial of Michael Devlin, just don't exacerbate the emotional state of this boy! Consider this, in a few years after this has all blown over- people will hopefully remember the perpetrator, not the victimized, and wikipedia should not be used as a proxy to expose victimized youth to the whole of society. --71.194.128.49 08:20, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: It's taken quite a while to reach the current 'edition' of the Steve Whatley article. Images, headers and much more information about Whatley's life and career is now available. 
Finding the solid information (now making up the article) has been difficult to come by. It has been a slow 'drip, drip' of details rather than a 'wave'. A large amount of 'minor edits' (which I apologise for) exist in the article's 'history' because of the slow process of building up the relevant information in the article.
It's ironic that whilst Steve Whatley was alive his biography was readily available through his website and people didn't think too much about it (as you don't), yet when the information is wanted, it isn't there anymore. That's life I suppose.
The article still needs more checking and possible tidying, but certainly explains more about the fascinating character that was Steve Whatley.

message: I'm not sure we should include Xbox as a platform here. Dolphin isn't officially supported on either the Xbox One or Series X/S.

Official Microsoft support is irrelevant since neither Microsoft nor Google "officially support" Dolphin on Windows or Android either.
