Category talk:Redirects from ASCII-only titles

message: The difference between  and  is still NOT clear, especially since both pages have been modified. One thing that seemed to be clear before was that æ would fall under THIS category and is NOT a diacritic; since then, however, someone has explicitly added æ and other dipthongs to the list shown on .
Perhaps a better question is: what special characters are there besides æ and other dipthongs that have NO ASCII equivalent but are NOT diacritical marks?
And let me be the first to point out that many letters with accents, etc., ARE available in Extended ASCII, which is what a lot of people think of when they hear "ASCII", further confusing the use of these templates.
Can someone please give a CONCRETE definition of the difference between these 2 templates/categories? An example would be appreciated, and do NOT say "just look at the categories" because it's already been agreed that many articles here are miscategorised. Despite many requests over the years, not a SINGLE example has been provided, just comments to "look it up".
I *think* that what the difference is *supposed* to be is best described as:
"set of all articles with true ASCII characters" ⊂ "set of all articles with nondiacritical marks" ⊂ "set of all articles"
and that  has a source page in the first set but a target page in the second. However, this is thoroughly unclear for numerous reasons, not the least of which is because no list of characters is available (and the one that IS available, as pointed out above, is apparently incorrect).
The point of these templates is to correctly categorise redirects. That can not ever be done when these two templates keep getting mixed up. Until a real definition is provided, and until it is explicitly clarified what the  template should be used for, this is a major problem. Given how things stand at the moment, if no clarification is provided, it would be best to merge the templates and categories into  for standardization purposes and because it is absolutely useless in its current format.

message: Quote: 
[A taximeter is by definition what makes a ‘cab’ a ‘taxicab’. Fitting of a taximeter was made compulsory in London from July 1907. The modern taximeter was a German invention and its name comes from its inventor, Baron von Thurn und Taxis. It was first used in Berlin but soon adopted worldwide. .. .. Early taximeters were totally mechanical in operation and the clock that recorded waiting time had to be wound by hand.

thread_title:  Baron von Thurn und Taxis - invented the "taximeter" 

message: How does a taximeter work?
I know it's a combination of distance and time, but how do the technical details affect the final fare?
As a practical question, and leaving tips aside: Will a taxi driver stuck in traffic be compensated completely for the extra time he spends getting to his destination? How do the time "pulses" and the distance "pulses" going into the meter interact? If a driver moves, say, 10 meters forward in heavy traffic, does that reset the time to zero?
Is there a difference in the fare if the cab is moving slowly but steadily in heavy traffic vs. stop-and-go bottlenecks interspersed with higher-speed travel?121.163.188.1 (talk) 11:36, 5 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The likely reason this question hasn't been addressed is that since (most? all?) modern meters are electronic, the algorithm used to compute price may be quite arbitrary. It is possible for it to not only include things the computer knows internally (such as the day of week, time of day, duration of trip (so far), taxes and fees,  etc.) but also externally sensed information (such as location, streets & bridges used (tolls) (for instance airports often require a surcharge), speed, time not moving, number and identity of zones traveled through, etc. etc.). There's no reason, for example, that the algorithm couldn't charge more for a ride in the rain, but generally costs are regulated by the local jurisdiction (city or county in the USA). IF the question is what is *customary*, then that will be jurisdiction dependent (and one I can't answer). Some larger cities may have online resources describing what costs a passenger may incur.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.130.71.156 (talk) 22:32, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

In gaming certain rule(s) exist to combat a Munchkin ruining the experience for other gamers. Specifically the rule(s) should be made clear to beginners so that the pitfalls associated with listening to a Munchkin's antics can be avoided.

message: Do we know what his name would have been in Persian? Adam Bishop 14:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name 

message: There is a conspiracy theory (written at a rather bad-reputation greek conspiratorial magazine named "Davlos"), according which, Mardonius was a Jew named Mordecai, and Esther, the Jew queen of king Xerxes I, was the one who raised him up as prime minister, conspiring against Haman-Ammon, then pushed the plans of the military campaign to conquer Greece.
Is there any possibility of Mardonius=Mordecai? Personally, I haven't found any reliable sources about any Mardonius' jewish descendancy or jewish interference in Xerxes' politics, and I suppose that it's rather nothing more than a conspiratorial, totally fictional antisemetic theory; but I want to investigate and confirm. But then, the ancient persian-jewish relations, is anyway an interesting historical issue, especially today that the friends of antiquity became vicious enemies.--ΚΑΛΛΙΜΑΧΟΣ 18:18, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Automatic parallelization

message: This page needs some serious work.  I came here doing some preliminary research for a paper in a parallel computing class.  Of course, I wasn't planning on using Wikipedia as a for-real source when I turn in the paper, but it's often a good place to go to get started on stuff like this, especially when you want a little overview before you start getting into the fine granularity stuff.
Whatever.  Anyway, I cleaned this up a little bit (mostly style and grammar stuff), but I'm no expert, I'm just a first-year CS grad student taking a parallel computing class, so I'd hesitate to add anything too beefy to this article myself.
Here's what I think it could use:
* Some info on existing implementations of parallelizing compilers
* Some more information on where the compilers look for parallelisms
* Some info on why compiler-base parallelization has not proven as effective or as popular as other methods of parallelization.
I may come back and update this a little once I've done some more research.  Right now, I don't feel equipped to do it myself.

Talk:Parallelogram law

message: For normed vector spaces whose norm obeys the parallelogram law, the operation
:\langle x, y\rangle={\|x+y\|^2-\|x\|^2-\|y\|^2\over 2}
is an inner product only for a real vector space, i.e. a vector space over some scalar field that is contained within the reals.  For the general case of complex vector spaces we need to define
:\langle x | y\rangle={\|x+y\|^2-\|x\|^2-\|y\|^2\over 2}+{\|x+jy\|^2-\|x\|^2-\|jy\|^2\over 2j}
where j is some nonzero pure imaginary element of the scalar field, but not necessarily \sqrt{-1} (in order to take into account fields such as \mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{-2}) that do not contain \sqrt{-1}.)
This isn't a problem when talking about complete spaces, and by the way something about the relationship between Hilbert spaces and Banach spaces could at least be mentioned in passing here as well.
