Talk:Stepping switch

message: Consider the following statement:
  "Enigma - the "Machine Gun" used to check possible breaks takes its name from the loud noise made by the uniselectors."
Could this be a mis-reference to the Bomba or Bombe?
:Probably.  Alas, what I have read on Purple, Ultra, Bletchley Park, etc seems written by people who may know something of mathematics or espionage, but nothing of uniselectors so the mechanical parts remain mysterious to me.  Still, it's worth a link to an appropriate Wikipedia article.  Jim.henderson 11:12, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The 3M model 209 series photocopiers used a stepper relay as their control mechanism. These machines were built from circa 1967 until circa 1977.

It would have been kinder to be less aggressive. I did, however, try to include at least a bit of his text, comparing the wiper array to the "head comb" of a rigid disk drive.

replies: text: Thanks, that is a good start! I still don't have time but will work on it later - or you can continue your good work. I am bothered by (among other things) the two places where Sea World is blamed for the seals moving in. I don't think that connection is established history - sounds more like local finger-pointing. At the least it needs a reference to support it. Also the high coliform count and its connection to seal feces should be documented, and all the stuff about seals nipping at children or pulling children in should be either removed or sourced. MelanieN (talk) 05:55, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Patronizing 

message: There isn't really much point in this essay. Open and aggressive harassment of a user is blockable under WP:NPA and WP:HAR, which also defines and prohibits wikistalking. As such, the important parts of this essay are fairly redundant. Also, although this may sound like a strange comment, I don't think it's 100% correct to equate "racism, sexism and homophobia" with "bullying". Making explicitly racist, sexist or homophobic attacks on a specific user violates WP:NPA; however, holding abstract racist, sexist or homophobic opinions is not in itself blockable. If someone posts on their userpage "I don't like gays, and I think a woman's place is in the home", then we can't indef-block them for that, any more than we would for identifying as a liberal, or a communist, or an environmentalist. Harassment, on the other hand, absolutely should result in an indef-block - but we already have a perfectly good policy on that. So why do we need this essay? Waltontalk 15:39, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

message: I was the one who edited the page and asked for a source cited for Ashby's officer status at age 17. A source is still required, including in his book "Unscathed". I am in the British Army and I have never heard of anyone in the last 40 years who was an officer aged 17, be they Army, Royal Marines, RN or RAF. What it sounds like is that Ashby JOINED when he was 17. It is outrageous to suggest that as an untrained boy of 17 - legally not even allowed to participate on operations - he had any sort of actual command. Both myself and many others are eager for clarification on this.ArmouredTrooper 23:26, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Phil held an SSLC with RM as of October/November 1987 which was prior to his 18th birthday.  Unlike in the Army, all RM officers, including SSLCs, at least back in the 80s, received officer commissions on joining and not after completing training.  I know this because I was on the same course as Phil and attended his eighteenth birthday in Exeter.  We were not UCE entrants although Phil later went on to apply for and receive a university scholarship.  This means he is unusual in having taken the commando course twice, once in 1988 (AACC) and a second time after university.  Feel free to contact me for details.
