replies: text: Fireworks →  – Per WP:PLURAL, both Britannica and Oxford Dictionary use "firework" unlike bacteria and Oxford Dictionary notes "Bacteria" should always be used with a plural verb. Yes its more common to have multiple but you can easily talk about a single firework such as someone throwing a single firework at someone or Firework organisers. And there are many things like Shoe or Sock that are more commonly in the plural but we tile singular. Crouch, Swale (talk)  19:49, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not the same thing. "Pant" and "scissor" can't be used alone in the singular, but only as a compound such as a "pant leg" or a "scissor blade", but "firework" can be used alone in its singular form. You can't say "I have a pant" or "I have a scissor", but you can say "I have a firework" or "A firework failed to explode". Rreagan007 (talk) 21:59, 13 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Mir yeshiva

message: Just have a question here - the Mir Yeshiva was so called because it was founded in Mir, Belarus - but it has moved so many times since then.  I guess, it is still called the Mir Yeshiva for historical reasons.  Is this what normally happens?  The Yeshiva continues to be named after the place where it is founded, even after the school might have moved halfway around the world?  PaulHammond 15:45, Jan 10, 2005 (UTC)
*Yes, Paul, that is correct. Numerous Haredi Judaism groups and institutions have retained "their" names based on the towns in Europe they first originated in. Famous examples are Lubavitch (from a small town in White Russie); Ger, (for a small town in Poland); and many more... IZAK 11:30, 11 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: I am trying to redirect the links to this page (there shouldn't be any!). This is rather complicated by the lack of a page on the Mirrer Yeshiva in Mir. --Redaktor 13:07, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirecting links 

message: I disagree with setting up two separate articles. Currently, both articles have (slightly different) histories of the original Mir, which is redundant and will force editors to synchronize potentially two versions of the same material. And moving the historical Mir material to its own article, would leave the Brooklyn and Jerusalem pages as very short stubs.
Rather, information about all three yeshivas should be combined in one article (at least until there is a larger amount of material on one of the contemporary yeshivas to the point that the combined article loses clarity and good structure). Jms2000 20:15, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

*Gallicanism - looks like someone pasted in a bunch of info from the 1911 Catholic Encyclopedia, which is fine, but it needs wikification & editing. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:05, Nov 22, 2004 (UTC)
I wikified some, but there's a lot to be done in that department, including adding some sections and maybe moving some explanations to other articles, a list of popes, a list of kings, etc. etc. The Catholic Encyclopedia text is quite NPOV so it can be mostly left alone content-wise.

message: I feel the need to elaborate on my edit. The previous interpretation of the source is completely incorrect. The kanji for honey (mitsu) is 蜜. Written backward, it has no meaning, but is intended to mean crime (tsumi), which is written 罪. In other words, it's not the kanji that expresses multiple meanings, in fact, that doesn't make much sense at all. The entire purpose of kanji is to disambiguate the massive amount of homophones within the Japanese language.　EvilCouch (talk) 06:18, 6 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Watersports (BDSM)

message: I don't think it's proper to mark urolagnia as BDSM-related. While it can be practiced in that context, it is my understanding that the interest in urine is more commonly purely sensual than related to power or domination. It is common for partners engaging in this behavior to urinate on each other, as opposed to only one urinating on the other for the purpose of humiliation or degradation. I think that DSM-IV did classify urolagnia as a sadomasochistic behavior in the 1994 edition; I am not certain if more recent publications have revised this. (Can anyone clarify this for me?) In any case that classification might be offensive to those who practice urolagnia, and is at best somewhat misleading.

message: Simultaneous multithreading is a special case of Instruction pipelining where the fetch phase looks ahead and injects multiple instructions with non overlapping resource utilization into the decode-execute pipeline when possible. Ethanpet113 (talk) 08:20, 3 January 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge with [[Simultaneous multithreading]] 

message: The line "In contrast, out of order computers usually have large amounts of idle logic at any given instant" is on paper often true. However, it is vague and not useful, as the reader will probably assume that this is synonymous with idle execution logic, which is not entirely true. The whole point of OOO processors is that they will keep the ALUS/Multipliers/Dividers/FPUs fed with data by reordering the instructions. The fact that most OOO processors are also superscalar(and so have a tendency to have idle logic when memory bandwidth lmited) is irrelevant to the instruction reordering itself. 2601:246:5900:E790:0:0:0:F1D (talk) 01:41, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Barra Isles

message: Of the ten islands listed (at present) one is an error - Heishival Mor (spelled Theiseabhal Mor on new maps, which use Gaelic spellings even for Norse names) is the name of the highest hill on Vatersay (Bhatarsaigh), not the name of another island. Another, Uineasan does not really qualify as it is only seperated from the tip of Ui (Uidh), the North-Eastern promentary of Vatersay, by the highest tides and its area is much less than those of Muldoanich (Maol Domhnaich), Lingay (Lingeigh) and Flodday (Flodaigh) and is similar to that of Greanamul between Sandray (Sanndraigh) and Pabbay (Pabaigh) which isn't listed.

message: As this album contains the same music as Metal Box, any further updates should probably be made on that page instead of this one.
I originally set up this article as a re-direct to Metal Box.  But since Second Edition has its own album cover, I decided it deserved its own article, if only as a placeholder for its Wikiproject Albums table.
Again, any further information about Metal Box or Second Edition that isn't specifically about the latter should probably go in the Metal Box article.
