Talk:Flicker (screen)

message: "The constant refreshing of a CRT monitor can cause various symptoms in those sensitive to it such as headaches in migraine sufferers and seizures in epileptics, if they are photosensitive. Screen filters are available to reduce these effects"
Can anyone provide a citation or source for this? I developed a seizure disorder 4 years ago that causes me to have seizures as a result of flickering lights. Fluorescent lights are the worst culprit, rendering me unable to go into most public buildings without a blindfold, but many types of monitor and television screen cause issues for me as well. I'd love to know where I can find a filter that may help. 76.176.202.233 (talk) 15:37, 3 January 2014 (UTC)

message: I have heard that computer monitors sold in Europe are required to have a refresh frequency higher than 60 Hz.
("CRT computer monitors had to go to higher than 60Hz to eliminate flicker ... mandated in Europe"

Guttag)
I came to this article looking for:
* What is the name of that mandate?
* Does it apply to non-CRT monitors?
* What specifically is the minimum mandated frequency?
* Do the regulations on flourescent and LED flicker (light) also apply to computer monitors or CCFL backlights or LED backlights, or is it an independent mandate?
I am disappointed to find nothing in this article about minimum mandated refresh frequency.

thread_title:  an article from time of stations beginning 

message: Recently, several IP users have confirmed to the same edit (including the decade that another station was on), as well as adding a source that, while mentions KCMP, does not do so in the way it is claimed in the article. The sentence claiming that KCMP is based on other stations (WXPN-Philadelpha, KCRW-L.A. & Seattle's KEXP-FM) seems to be original research and not reflected in the article, which just lumps KCMP in with these other stations, but makes no mention of them influencing KCMP. Is this original research? Furthermore, the body of text claims these stations are pioneers of non-commercial alternative radio (presumably meaning the alternative rock format, as KPFA , for example, was doing non-commercial alternative (not alternative rock but alternative in general) radio in the 1940s and '50s. On another issue, I don't see the need of why the decade that "Rev105" operated is germain, but, in my opinion, just the word "former" works well (if people are curious which decade Rev105 was on, they can look at the link).Stereorock (talk) 03:55, 23 June 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Removing stations

message: In revising this userbox (and the one for Template:MSP AM radio, I added articles for past stations. WYOO (U100) now has its own article, as the station occupied two dial positions, and I felt that the content interfered too much with the histories of KDWB and KKMS. This way, the U100 article can be expanded freely, and the other two articles can be more about those frequencies. In addition, I also added an article on WLOL (defunct), which seemed to interfere too much with the current WLOL and MPR's KSJN. This article is primarily about WLOL's top 40 phase in the 80s, but I will likely expand it to other formats. And the fact that the WLOL call letters were used by several other stations in the area is another factor.
I created these two articles in order to expand on the histories of these two incarnations, without adding confusion to the articles of current dial inhabitants. 
In addition, I may add other articles. One possibility is the former KDAN, which was a St. Paul station that went dark in the 1980s, and perhaps even WMIN, a set of call letters that seemed to do quite a bit of traveling around the dial, ala WLOL. For former stations that are basically associated with one entity (like KTWN or KJJO), I would rather not create separate articles. --Fightingirish 19:28, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

My reasoning is that this is more a fact about P. pica sericea and doesn't add much to the discussion of black-billed magpies. The sentence and study were also written when P. hudsonia and P. pica were largely considered conspecific.
