Talk:Twisted cubic

message: Its not clear to me if all of the properties (as listed in the "properties" section) hold in the case of a field not being algebraically closed. If they do, then a note stating this should be explicitly added, viz. "these properties do not require the field over which the projective space is defined to be algebraically closed". I suppose this might be obvious if one "did one's homework", but I'm lazy and dumb... linas 22:26, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've linked to Degree of an algebraic variety, where algebraic closure is certainly used (and is mentioned there). Otherwise, if you start at the parametric end, there may not be any such issues. Charles Matthews 22:31, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes/Creation templates

message: This page is to discuss whether Template:Userbox, Template:Userbox-2, Template:Userbox-r and Template:Userbox-m should be moved to Template:User 1, Template:User 2, Template:User r and Template:User m.
Imported from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Userboxes
:I see someone has moved  to .  I really don't think this was a good idea - firstly because 99% of userbox templates are now going through redirects.  Secondly, this template was not a userbox, it was the template to create a userbox.  Therefore it does not come under the remit of changing all user boxes...etc..  
:I seriously think this move should be reconsidered, along with the moving of the other templates for creation.  Deano 21:28, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe User:Ian13 changed to User rather than Userbox due to the greater number of already existing User prefixes the discussion can be found over here: Wikipedia_talk:Userboxes#This_pages_future. Secondly in the light of this confusion, could we do something about centralising these types of discussions? --Grand Edgemaster Talk 21:51, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I presume they all go here, unless anyone has some good ideas for some sub-pages to discuss things. The thing is, as I understood, although it was considered that userbox would be good, user was the prefix where most userboxes were situated. Regarding the redirects, we are working on transfering them all over to the new template so that the redirect can be removed. I also understand it was considered (somewhere) that it could be good to have all userboxes under the same prefix so that users could inter-organise userboxes as they so wish, and this will seriously help in organising userboxes and helping users display boxes nicely on their user pages, and moving all the babel languages would be hugely impractical. In theory, those templates are not to create userboxes for other templtes, but to create uerboxes for peoples pages, and having the same (user) prefix will mean organisation templates can be used with them as well. Ian13ID:540053 22:02, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

text: It seems that userbox creation templates are considered that they should remain at userbox prefixes.
Templates like User Wikipedia however will continue to be ported since they will soon be splint into seperate templates for users to use in babel boxes and the like. Ian13ID:540053 22:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:IBM370/AIX

message: I removed the POV-check tag, because I can't see any apparent POV issues here, and whoever added the tag didn't put anything in the talk page to indicate why they did so (Edit: It appears that the POV phrase was corrected by Sarcelles earlier).  I have added a couple of other things, however:
* I added a request for references, because I did a quick search and could find nothing out there to suggest that a version of AIX for S/370 did, in fact, exist.  It appears that IBM made a version of AIX for the ESA architecture, but by my understanding (and I'm not an expert) ESA was only available on S/390, not on S/370.  Unless somebody can provide a source for this statement I think it should be removed.
* Assuming that the statement is valid, I also suggest this article be merged into AIX operating system, because it really isn't substantial enough on its own to justify a separate article.  I have already added info about AIX/ESA (S/390) to that article.  If the assertion about S/370 can be substantiated, I would suggest simply correcting the "Supported architectures" section of AIX.

Category talk:OSI protocols

message: This category includes both protocols that are part of the OSI set of protocols and layers in the OSI model.  Not all protocols that are put into particular OSI layers are OSI protocols; should there be a separate "OSI protocol layers" category, with just the seven layers in them? Guy Harris 23:00, 23 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we should be clear that OSI protocol means a protocol which belongs to the OSI protocol suite, so protocols like TCP or HTTP or SMTP are not OSI protocols. The OSI model is intended to be a comprehensive classification of computer networking protocols, so every protocol fits into it somewhere (although, for many protocol suites like TCP/IP which were not designed with this model in mind, its a bit of an ill-fit, with many protocols spanning OSI layers). To label every protocol which can be understood via the OSI model as an "OSI protocol" is to render that phrase useless, since then every protocol would be an OSI protocol. So this category should be reserved for protocols belonging to the OSI protocol suite only. SJK (talk) 23:58, 30 April 2016 (UTC)
Talk:Gutter

message: While the first entry mentions that a gutter may be between a street and a sidewalk to direct water into a sewer, it links to "ditch" which makes no mention of this.  I'm thinking that we're missing one of the most significant uses of this word.  Any suggestions for correcting this?  Rklawton 16:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I completely agree; the street gutter is probably one of the top two most-searched-for meanings (along with rain gutter), so when I cleaned up this disambiguation, I created an article for it at street gutter. Please feel free to add any information you may have! PaladinWhite 19:31, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Gutter (street)

message: * "Gutter" (adjective) or "the gutter" (noun), a dysphemism deriving from "street gutter" (see above), referring to poverty, homelessness, substance abuse, criminal activity, low social class, lack of education, and other "hard times", as in the phrases "you'll end up in the gutter" and "don't use gutter talk around the children"
I removed this entry from the disambiguation page because strictly speaking it is a dictionary entry and it does not link to a related article. According to the MOS, "Disambiguation pages are solely intended to allow users to choose among several Wikipedia articles, usually when a user searches for an ambiguous term." If you think there is an article in the slang use of the term gutter, then by all means write it and we can link it here. SilentC 02:25, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Railway stations in London

message: I find this category as it stands a little constricting. I have just begun to destub some of the South West Trains stations, and I find it difficult to show that on at least one of its suburban service routes the fact of part of being outside the strict connotation of London(ie in a London borough) means that the stations cannot be shown on this list. The route is the one to Shepperton: it is a branch line and Shepperton is the terminus. The line cannot but be classed as a London suburban line with a mere six stations, yet after the first two - and because we now leave Richmond Borough - and enter Spelthorne (an entirely made-up name for part of Surrey!) - the remaining stations are excluded from this list. 
Much is made of the suburban railways in many of the main articles, and on the box often included - yet this tends to divide one up, quite arbitrarily! Peter Shearan 15:52, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I find this wording confusing:
:If the surrounding air temperature is near or below freezing, the droplets of water tend to evaporate and rapidly cool. This method only works when the ambient air is at 0 °C (32 °F) or lower.

From the article:

I don't see why man-made snow would be more accurate. Man-made and artificial are synonyms. (Webster's Dictionary gives man-made as the first definition of artificial.) Especially if a woman is operating the snow cannon… —Caesura(t) 21:36, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

: Can you cite any specific statements in the article that you consider POV?
: I agree that the tone of the article is positive.  I don't think that a positive "tone" violates NPOV, however.  Certainly if you know of any facts (or even substantiated rumors) that would cast Allen in a more negative light they should be included in this article.

Talk:International English Language Testing System

message: IeLTS has been widely criticised as being a racist money-sucking neo-colonialist test. Too lazy to find reliable sources for now which is why I'm leaving this here. It is not a test for "non-native" english speakers, whatever that even means, it is a test for people from non-english speaking countries (defined by the whites arbitrarily, only recognizing varieties of english as "proper" when spoken by people that look like them). Several countries they consider mandatory to take the test already uses english as a main lingua franca, teaches in english for many years of education, and whose people have been shoved down their throats the language since childhood.
The 2 year expiration date is a deliberate strategy to leech off the Global South for more money.
