Talk:Lituites

message: Would much like to know how this species relates to the genus Trilacinoceras. Picture at nautiloid looks just like a Lituites. --DanielCD 21:43, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: Identical photos on this page, labeled Lituites, and under Nautiloid, where it's labeled Trilacinoceras. There is no other mention of Trilacinoceras within the text of either article, nor does Trilacinoceras have its own article.  To the uneducated reader (like myself) this is confusing. Was Trilacinoceras a species of the genus Lituites? If so, please specify the label in the Lituites article. If not, one of them seems to have been mislabeled. ---Sluzzelin 04:59, 30 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Albert Pike

message: It appears this biography no longer contains a single mention of Pike's racist views, nor of the controversy surrounding his alleged role in the Ku Klux Klan. This is a topic covered on pages 439 to 442 of Brown's biography, cited multiple times in this article, which quotes Pike himself as follows:
Brown also quotes an article Pike wrote for the Memphis Daily Appeal:
Brown concludes that Pike "definitely saw possibilities for ex-Confederates in an 'efficient' Klan". 
Could this omission be remedied? Thanks. --Andreas JN466 11:27, 21 June 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sanitised article (racism) 

message: I removed this quote because it was solely referenced to Canadian freemasons.  I think a section on Pike's later views might be interesting, but from scholars, not a random Freemason website that could well be quoting wildly out of context.

Talk:MoSCoW method

message: Folks - MoSCoW is not a prioritization technique, it is a ranking technique that enables prioritization.
Ranking goes to Importance; Prioritization goes to Urgency.  These are separate concepts. MoSCoW goes to importance which makes it a Ranking Technique NOT a prioritization technique.  It is perfectly acceptable for example to prioritize lower ranking items (e.g. Should-Haves) for a faster delivery than higher ranking item (Must-haves) if that suits some other constraint of your project; but doing so would not magically add business benefit to the Should-Have and somehow transform it into a Must-Have, it just gets prioritized earlier.  Hope this is clear.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.57.34.63 (talk) 03:54, 19 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  What's Special? 

message: MoSCoW requirements rating system predates Agile methods by many years. If my memory serves me, the system was developed by the US DoD in 60s or 70s and written into their MIL STAN or DEF STAN documentation standards. Many countries simply used the MIL STANs and DEF STANs, others like the UK had their own and added a similar definition to replace other rating systems. 
I don't know whether the US DoD invented it or had a contractor develop the concepts as part of a pilot project. Around that time, IBM had some huge mainframe computer projects at the time and were innovative in software development management techniques. The DoD would have been a customer. The struggle to get a decent set of requirements and control better the cost of developing IT systems has been a long one. Loudraspberry (talk) 10:16, 26 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Tandy Corporation

message: According to this website (please see "LeadingArticles" => "Reading Room" => "The CEO as Entrepreneur by Charles D. Tandy"), Charles D. Tandy states that i"n 1961, the company name was changed to Tandy Corporation; the corporate headquarters were moved to Fort Worth; I became president and chairman of the board; and our company name was listed on the New York Stock Exchange".
However, according to the "official" corporate website (please see "HISTORY" => "A BRIEF HISTORY"), it seems that all 3 or 4 events occurred in 1960.

Talk:Subbuteo

message: Are these Gorillaz' fictional characters quotes of any interset, since there are just fictional characters ? Lvr 17:03, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gorillaz 

message: I used to own it, and it was controlled by little dudes with magnets, and when you pressed down on them, they'd bop the ball off. It was very similar to Subbuteo, but not quite as fiddly.
:Pro Action Football, perhaps? I had that in the mid-'90s. Good little game, but a bit too quick and random compared with Subbuteo (the ball used to just end up pinging around the table in the games i played). I liked the goalies that caught the ball, dribbling was decent (if a bit too easy), the pitches were quite good - comparable to Subbuteo astroturf - and I remember using the (much-sturdier) goals to replace my broken Subbuteo ones. Not sure how applicable it is to the main article (since there were plenty of other games around that served as competition, after all), but there's some info on it here, and it could maybe get its own article, since it was pretty popular.

thread_title: Foraging Behavior

message: Hello Biliken 1995, 
I've revised some of your contributions to Foraging Behavior to be a bit more concise and neutral. Your research contributions provide insightful and relevant information to the Southern Rockhopper Penguin's foraging behavior and influence of geography on foraging. I've also looked through your sources and they are solid and thorough in coverage. You have addressed the evolutionary aspect of foraging behavior in your contributions well also. I think from this point you can proceed on to making the coverage of the main experiment more concise and straightforward to make the conclusions mentioned at the end more clear. Also, I did not think the segment regarding the bees was relevant enough to E. chrysocome to be included in the Foraging Behavior section (although I do understand your intentions). Looking forward to seeing the progress of this article!
