Talk:One Night In Bangkok

message: This article should be titled One Night in Bangkok, per Wikipedia:Naming conventions#Album titles and band names. Because it isn't, we now have a problem. The correct title is now an article about an "live-mix CD", which I seriously doubt is anywhere near as famous as the Chess song. I've added merge tags to both articles, with the idea that the new stub article about the mix CD should be added to the substantial song article, after which an admin will have to move this article to the old title (because ordinary editors like myself can't move an article over top of another with a non-trivial edit history). ~ Jeff Q (talk) 08:02, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Closeness (mathematics)

message: I doubt that this closeness property holds:
if p is close to A\cup B then either p is close to A or p is close to B.
Choosing any p\in A\cap B (for any intersecting sets A, B) makes p close to both sets. Shouldn't the statement thus use the inclusive or? - Benzh (talk) 11:02, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Closeness relation between a point and a set

message: The "Generalized definition" section is at least partially redundant; the section "Closeness relation between a point and a set" already discusses "p is close to A iff p\in\overline A."
The paragraph with uniform spaces and entourages probably also could be merged together with the material currently under "Closeness relation between two sets".

message: The boxing section details are technically incorrect, since it at least implies that there is a lower limit on the division. Boxing divisions don’t have technical lower limits. Only upper limits, except heavyweightS which have no limit at all.

Talk:Riverside Church

message: The photograph accompanying the article is of a building at nearby Union Theological Seminary and not of Riverside Church.  The two institutions are across the street from one another so I suppose a visitor could make this type of mistake, but the Church's tower is many times larger than the one in the photo and is of a significantly different style.  Two photos of the actual tower may be found at http://www.theriversidechurchny.org/content.asp?id=208, though they are too small to be used for the article. There are other images at http://www.nyc-architecture.com/HAR/HAR009.htm, but most are rather old and predate a large addition on the church's southern end.  Hopefully another user will find a photo which is both large enough and recent enough to use.

Talk:Telecommunications in the United Kingdom

message: Disregarding what has been said above about whether this article really should be here or not (I feel it should, not only because there are hundreds of articles of 'Communications in...' and because there is loads of information available), here are a few things I think should be expanded or added to the article as it stands currently. Any other suggestions?
* History - more about deregulation/private companies in TV and phone lines/internet and a brief description of Ofcom
* Future - Broadband figures and projections - government backing of expansion. BT's 'firm within a firm'? Post Office deregulation and privatisation. Also, Post Office strikes.
* Links to similar articles - eg Transportation in the United Kingdom (previous UK COTF) - a link to UK Topics isn't really good enough, I feel.
* Facts and Figures - tables and graphs illustrating the changes in UK communications (ie users of Internet or Broadband, numbers of mobile phones etc) Also, market shares for phone line subscribers, internet (pie charts) etc.

thread_title: Release date

message: The copy protection of Wizard had an interesting feature. If it failed, it attempted to format (blank) the disk. One cause of failure is trying to load it on a third party (e.g. MSD) drive. The icing on the cake is that the disk naturally was not write-protected out of the box. (No, this didn't actually happen to me...but I witnessed Wizard trying to destroy itself - fortunately, the owner had applied a write-protect sticker). Mirror Vax 28 June 2005 10:03 (UTC)
:Maybe that is why the first copy of Wizard I played (pirated, natch) had the construction kit missing. It wasn't until many years later, when I contacted someone with an intact (also pirated) copy of the game, and was able to use the construction kit.

It's quite true. Derek Birley in The Willow Wand makes (a less explicit) reference to the point. He is more coy in his A Social History of English cricket, where he just says "Madge" is a what, not a who. However, it is good 18th century slang, which I think is still preserved in a few rugby songs if you care to search on the web for it. Of course, I could have been more tactful in how the points was made, but it's a fair informative point, jguk 28 June 2005 20:27 (UTC)
*The problem I see with the piped link to cunt is that there's no mention of the toast in the target article.  So, someone clicks on the link, and is inexplicably taken to a most unexpected article.  Either some mention needs to be added to "cunt," or there needs to be a short explanation here. (I prefer an explanation here, as this is a quite short article).

thread_title:  Succession to the British Throne 

message: "Her Highborn" is ridiculous.  "Highborn" is not a noun; it is an adjective.  It therefore cannot be modified by the possesive "her."  Futhermore, "her highborn" is not a correct translation of the Dutch style (see http://www.thedutchroyalfamily.nl/2009/12/gravin-zaria.html).  "De hooggeboren vrouwe" means "The high-born lady"; "De hooggeboren vrouwe Zaria gravin van Oranje-Nassau van Amsberg" means "The high-born lady Zaria, countess of Orange-Nassau of Amsberg."  Perhaps "her high-born ladyship" would be an acceptable idiomatic (though loose) translation. 98.14.84.183 (talk) 12:15, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: How about Her Highness? Is there another expression for that style? Surtsicna (talk) 14:45, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I think your original assessment is correct: It is a style which must accompany name+title in the third-person only, and cannot be used to address the person. Moreover, a literal translation of the term as "Highborn" gives an exaggerated sense of the person's rank, given that this style is accorded to those who are not of high enough rank to be entitled to a form of address such as "Your Highness", "Your Excellency" or "Your Grace". The relationship between this Dutch style and a Dutch title is exactly like that between "The Most Noble" (used only on ceremonial occasions) or "The Honourable" on one hand, and "Lady" or "Count" on the other: in fact, I would consider "Honourable" an English orthographic version of "Hoogeboren", rather than "Highborn", which is a literal but misleading translation. This term is often combined, on the Continent, with Hochwohlgeboren, which is actually a lower style than Hochgeboren and is, again, misunderstood when translated literally as "High and Wellborn".
