message: The PMBoK Guide ($40-) was recently updated in the references (5th edition, 2013), but the definition of project risk looks like an older one?

thread_title:  Article Change Management 

message: For many years, I have used the term 'Eliminate' instead of 'Avoid' as the first strategy to manage risk - however, I cannot remember where (and don't have time just at the moment to research it) to reference it.
So my proposed change, if anyone can find the citation, would be to simply add 'Eliminate' in brackets after 'Avoid' just like the other strategies to manage risk have other common terms.
Oops, should have just looked at the Risk Management page on Wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk_management)!
On that page, it has Eliminate in brackets after Avoidance in the 'Potential risk treatments' section.

thread_title:  Release date 

message: As with the other games in this series, there seems to be some alterations on the NES platform. I don't remember either the Warlock's chamber or the betrothal at the end (from the original Mac version). I will check it out, maybe we need a specific section on alterations, as with Uninvited.
I've changed some (verified) parts of the gameplay: the game hints that a torch is about to go out, so you don't have to keep two burning. The puzzles aren't either as illogical (requiring trial-and-error) as they may seem, but that requires paying close attention to both descriptions of objects and the book and scrolls around the castle. They may be partly or completely removed in the NES version, which in that case should be noted. Some puzzles are also based on fictional conventions, such as werewolves being killed by silver bullets (or silver arrow in the game)

Talk:1737 Calcutta cyclone

message: I wrote this article and I couldn't find much information.  But it is a very important article because many sources (even within wikipedia) probably still call this an earthquake and say it killed 300,000 people! Jdorje 07:05, 9 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True. Here are some things that could be mentioned, but don't have to.
1) Was the deadliest tropical cyclone in recorded history
2) Another cyclone hit Calcutta in 1864 that killed 60,000
3) Based on low-lying land, the North Indian Ocean is more vulnerable to tropical cyclones. 
4) Climatology: Many other deadly North Indian cyclones hit land during October due to the end of the monsoon season.
Not sure if that would help, but it something that could be mentioned, if needed. Hurricanehink 01:39, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Uhh...well...(1) no it wasn't (2) true, though that one's hardly mentioned anywhere (it used to have a section in the Calcutta article, but that was cut), (3) yes, the ganges delta from Calcutta to Chittagong is very vulnerable (4) interesting...though others seem to happen really early; the 1970 one was in april IIRC.

The Trivium specifications do not support the use of keys at least twice the security rating of the cipher to prevent parallel brute-force attacks as recommend by Daniel J. Bernstein in his paper "Understanding Brute Force"
  Looking through the paper, I do not see this recommendation.  The paper does recommend using key lengths longer than the security level, but does not recommend "at least twice the security rating" anywhere that I've found.  Can somebody please point me to where in the paper this is said?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astgtciv (talk • contribs) 01:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bernstein's recommendation on key length 

message: I've taken out all mention of the Pasalic attack.  I don't think a claim of an attack becomes notable enough to discuss in a Wikipedia article until there's some sort of independent confirmation that it holds water - eg being accepted in a peer-reviewed journal or conference, or being acknowledged by the author of the cipher or some other third party.  I also have good reason to believe it doesn't work, but obviously in order for my opinion about this to carry any weight I'd have to write about it somewhere other than Wikipedia so I could reference it here :-) and the standard should be "not notable unless we have a reason to consider it notable", not the reverse.  — ciphergoth 13:52, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:1944 Great Atlantic hurricane

message: And producing hurricane force winds over a diameter of 600 miles.
That's got to be a typo. That would make it, by far, the largest hurricane ever to torment the seas, and I know it wasn't. Katrina's were only out to 100 miles, and it was incredibly large. bob rulz 06:34, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, that has to be wrong.  Note that Katrina's hurricane-force winds at one point extended out 125 miles however .  I've seen some other storms with large (but believable) claims: see Hurricane Fran and Hurricane Isabel.  Unforunately Typhoon Tip doesn't have any info on how far hurricane-force winds extended. Jdorje 07:10, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

text: provides some interesting reading. Jdorje 07:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That would make this hurricane half as extensive as Tip (note the difference between 600 mile diameter versus 675 mile radius), which appears reasonable.  Katrina was slightly larger than average for a hurricane.  I don't see a problem with this hurricane-force wind measurement; they recognized in real-time that this was a very large hurricane, hence their naming the system The Great Atlantic Hurricane.  The term "Great" was used (into the 1970's, I believe) for tropical cyclones that either had extensive areas of hurricane force winds, or intense hurricanes.  This cyclone had both qualities.  By the way, this appears to be the earliest known named storm by the office that evolved into the National Hurricane Center.  Were there any older named tropical cyclones by this office?

message: WP defines breed as:
"A breed is a specific group of domestic animals having homogeneous appearance (phenotype), homogeneous behavior, and/or other characteristics that distinguish it from other organisms of the same species and that were arrived at through selective breeding."
Land Races, especially so-called "feral breeds" have not had selective breeding.  Please provide justification for including them here.
:this source pp. 6-16 explains how fuzzy the definition of a "breed" can be. "The modern classifications of breeds are landraces, standardized breeds, modern "type" breeds, industrial strains and feral populations." p. 8: "  Exactly where to draw the line between the genetic "breed" and "nonbreed" is somewhat arbitrary and frequently controversial."  For wikipedia, categories are navigational aids to help the reader find articles.  The "horse breeds" category is very broad and non-diffusing.

replies: text: Okay, so why are you including "mustang" which is a generalized designation for dozens of potential land races?  Lynn (SLW) (talk) 21:49, 7 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Because landraces are breeds (Per Sponenberg; we've discussed this elsewhere).  In the case of mustangs, the main article is in the breeds category for some very important reasons.  The first is that the overview article contains a great deal of critical history and will have more once we get it more complete; the separate articles on the unique bands like the Kigers and Pryors only focus on their specific history.  The second is that there are multiple Mustang bands and registries, but some are relatively small and it makes no sense to make forks for overlapping groups and standards.  Third is more pragmatic reason; the general public views Mustangs as a breed and will search for them as such. (We have done the same for the overview Warmblood article where there is no one "Warmblood" but rather a lot of different breeds, loosely related, sort of, classified as such) Categories exist to improve navigation on wikipedia and it really is not worth an edit-war over every last article to be in or out.  I have no issue with the article being categorized as a breed, a type and a landrace, it's all helpful to the user of wikipedia. Montanabw(talk) 23:08, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
