Talk:Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate

message: I propose that Transurethral needle ablation be merged into Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate. I think that the content in the Transurethral needle ablation article can easily be explained in the context of Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate, and the Transurethral needle ablation of the prostate  article is of a reasonable size that the merging of Transurethral needle ablation will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

thread_title:  Personal language ? 

message: I'm not competent to make the needed changes, but this article is supposedly a translation of the German original, but includes information that is over 15 years out of date and a lot of original speculation with no sources. E.g. prisons have not been governed by federal law since 2009, and the comments about "community feel" are at best assumptions made by US-based editors who saw a documentary about a very specific institutional form used for 3% of prisoners, and at worst simply propaganda which would not be reflected in any German language media or research. Would it be possible for someone to get a new translation / summary of the German original? I would if I could ever learn to be a competent editor, of course...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.130.151.235 (talk) 15:27, 24 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Other countries

message: I am doing some research on the legal aspects of general delivery postal addresses in the US for possible inclusion in this article, with the intent of following up with information about the laws in other countries.  
General delivery addresses are often the only postal addresses available to the homeless or to retirees living a nomadic lifestyle, living in a recreational vehicle and traveling from place to place.
In doing my research I have seen various claims that there exists a US federal law or court decision to the effect that general delivery postal addresses are legal/valid for first class mail, and that companies cannot require you to have a fixed postal address. Does such a law or court decision actually exist?
I found a blog post about general delivery addresses in relation to government programs such as medicaid and social-security-disability, but what about companies that send you a monthly bill? Homeless people often have cell phones, and someone living in an RV may very well have satellite TV, a website and domain name, etc. Is there a law forbidding a cell phone or website hosting company from requiring a fixed address? --Guy Macon (talk) 13:54, 5 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:SoX

message: In the article are two examples, of which one uses the command "sox" and the other of them using "play".  Is the article about SoX or sox?  The command "play" is symlinked to ""sox" (on my system, in any case) but the syntax differs.  You can run "play -v 0.5 audiofile" but cannot substitute the command "sox" in place of "play".  
The man pages for "sox" and "play" differ, and the man page for "play" includes syntax using "sox" as the calling routine.  It should not, but it does.  Clarification -- more information -- might help do this but simply repeatijng the confusion that persists in the man pages does not help.

message: What is the reasoning behind the odd convention to use a raised full stop as a decimal separator in the user's manual (except in command line examples), and for all instances of a full stop in the spectrogram display (such as a filename extension)? I've read on Decimal separator that it might be an English tradition made obsolete in 1968. But the dot is a bit lower than an "interpunct" (·), and in the PDF manual matches search query for a regular point. It must have taken some effort to mark certain characters in the manual special. -- J7n (talk) 22:01, 29 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Aaron Jernigan

message: Orlando's history is an interesting one, and one that is not well documented.  The City's founder and first settler was Aarong Jernigan.  The City later came to be know as Orlando, due to a tree near the town center with the name "Orlando Reeves" carved on it.  People would simply call the town, "Orlando's Tree".

message: I cleaned up the main section of the article, by getting rid of a sentence on grocery stores. The sentence simply stated the semantic differences between 'hipermercado' and 'supermercado.' Apparently a 'hipermercado' would be like a Super Wal*Mart, and a 'supermercado' would be a corner store. The wiki page on Supermarkets classifies them as large grocery stores. So, I got rid of the cluttered/cluttering sentence and replaced it with large grocery store. If there is any objection feel free to revert.  Hr.VankerTalkContrib 04:28, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

My recent addition of a number of dams is an example-- this page is the easiest way for me to keep track of where in the system each tributary and dam is located. If it gets unwieldy certain things could be removed, the dams perhaps most of all. In time I hope to shift a lot of them over to List of dams in the Columbia River watershed. That page needs a bit of organization now that the name has been changed. A section for "mainstem dams" for the existing content, then perhaps sections or subsections under a "Tributaries" section perhaps, for other dams. Some variation of chart would be useful too.

message: The description of compound armor is correct - it's taken directly from Herwig. But compound armor is essentially a plate with hard steel on the face with softer wrought iron behind. Wood backing was optional, but all four ships of the class retained it (even the two that got nickel-steel armor). And Herwig states this: "Wörth and Brandenburg were protected by so-called "compound" plates, introduced in 1877 and formed of steel-clad wrought-iron plates alternating with layers of wood and an inner skin of two layers of sheet iron." Presumably the sheet iron is simply the outer skin of the hull. Regardless, that matches with the description at compound armour. Parsecboy (talk) 14:52, 14 February 2014 (UTC)
