Talk:Fourth Northern Division of the Irish Republican Army

Talk:Kahut

message: Being an agriculturists, Kahut seems to be a local offshoot of Jat tribes of district Chakwal area. Her origin can't be from Arabia for the very simple reason that there is no letter "T" in Arabic.
Moreover, Jats are pure local multiple tribes of subcontinent. Although, Quraish are an honorable tribe from Makkah and prophet Muhammad PBUH was from that Quraish tribe, but we see lot of local sub-continent individuals/groups called themselves Quraish just to project their social status and to grab financial and social favors from local illiterate Muslim communities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.1.204.239 (talk • contribs) 22:20, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

message: That he is from Banu al-Harith is not sourced. I want to remove him from the list but I can't find sources that talks about his tribal origin. Anyway, he was from Banu Ghassan according to most sources, some few sources say he was from Bani Quraizah.

I am happy with your citation for his past history with Saudi Arabia, it's much more encyclopedic than alluding to Twitter ephemera, but a few things: A: there has never been a Stephen Harris government. B: Linking to Stephen Harper would be inappropriate unless he sticks his nose in. C: It seems like WP:OR to talk about Baird's business interests in Saudi Arabia without any reliable source to back that up.

Talk:Train stop

message: Strong agree. Trip stop and train stop are really the same thing so there should be just one article. When I started the Railway trip stop article, I searched for an existing article on the topic and did not find one. User:Signalhead correctly points out this Train stop article. I will wait a week or so to see if there are any opposing opinions. Assuming there are none, I will then endeavor to merge the two articles together into one, as this Train stop article. When that is completed, the Railway trip stop article should be redirected to this one. I may need some help with that, I haven't redirected before. Truthanado 00:24, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: To be honest, you could probably go ahead and do this straight away.

the word "Mabahith مباحث" is a common noun, which means any investigation service, so it has to be specified, I suggest "Saudi Mabahith", the word Mabahith is used in several Arab countries meaning investigation service, the current title is so ambiguous--Abu aamir (talk) 08:39, 14 October 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Please read WP:COMMONNAME. We don't use official names if in english-language sources another common name is used.

Talk:Self-Protecting Digital Content

message: I'm a bit fuzzy about what this article is really about. Is "Self-Protecting Digital Content" the report produced by the CRI Content Security Research Initiative? Or does it refer to the system they describe in the paper, which later 'inspired' the HD DVD and Blu-Ray DRM standards?
Also, AACS doesn't provide any means to "execute code from the encrypted content on the DVD player". The BD+ virtual machine on Blu-ray players does. — Ksero 00:56, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  What exactly is "Self-Protecting Digital Content"? 

message: I just removed this:
:"Modern HD televisions are merely 2 megapixels in resolution and the HD specification will be static for at least two decades, as high-expense consumer product cycles are necessarily long and higher resolution provides decreasing benefit to the consumer. By the time the specification is mid-life, cameras with 20 megapixel resolution will be available and able to record full-motion video, allowing for full two-axis oversampling and software reconstruction of the original stream pixel-by-pixel, with the only analog losses being encoded as slight variations in pixel color--and even this loss can be compensated for with color profile adjustment after the re-encode has completed. It would not be possible to compensate for possible compression of the color space dynamic, however, leading to a slight posterizing effect. This effect is already apparent in compressed video and does not seem to bother most consumers."
There are some interesting concepts presented, however:
* This section is wholly unsourced (like most of the rest of the article)
* We are no longer in the HD era, so this section is woefully out of date. Modern TVs are much more than 2 megapixels.
* The claim that consumer cameras pointed at a TV can recover accurate video data with advanced post-processing is very interesting if true. I'm trying not to remove content for which I could find a source, however this is a bold claim and needs to be sourced
I'd love any help on this article. —danhash (talk) 18:15, 2 December 2023 (UTC)
