Wikipedia talk:Explain your views

message: It's very simple.  Often I find in articles with large amounts of debating such as *fDs, RfA and even just talk pages, there will be users who voice there views on the matter, but do not explain why.  This simply leads to people ask the user why they feel that way, sometimes suspicion of sock puppetry, trolling or bad-faith, or the users vote pretty much being disregarded.  I mostly intend this page for new users, as they are the least likely to have their opinions count.  I think it will help if there is a guideline we can point all users to, so they can understand why they should explain their views.
This is my first attempt at a project page, so I hope for a lot of input in how it can be improved.  Even if none of the original text remains but the message is still there I hope it can be approved as an official guideline. Paul Cyr 23:11, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

message: Well, it's been about a month since I made this proposal.  The feedback has been 100% support.  Although there has been little feedback, given that there are no objections, I think it's safe to list it as a guideline. Paul Cyr 20:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: It is actionable and instructive and therefore not an essay.  Instead of saying your view, you say your view and provide justification.

Talk:Rota Fortunae

thread_title: What it needs to be expanded into

message: Which one is correct? The article said Rota Fortuna for a long time, but now it has changed to Rota Fortunae. It seems that the previous one is Italian (I don't know much in Italian, this is just a guess) and the latter is Latin. I once thought that Rota Fortuna was Latin, and it always baffled me how that was supposed to make grammatical sense. I'm still not sure about this so some confirmation would be nice. --BiT (talk) 01:47, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  ''Rota Fortuna'' or ''Rota Fortunae'' 

message: The article claims this with no attribution. On the other hand, the Wikipedia article on the celestial spheres never mentions the Zodiac, and says "The planetary spheres were arranged outwards from the spherical, stationary Earth at the centre of the universe in this order: the spheres of the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. In more detailed models the seven planetary spheres contained other secondary spheres within them. The planetary spheres were followed by the stellar sphere containing the fixed stars; other scholars added a ninth sphere to account for the precession of the equinoxes, a tenth to account for the supposed trepidation of the equinoxes, and even an eleventh to account for the changing obliquity of the ecliptic.["

Talk:MIC-1

message: See the following programs for examples of emulators/simulators of the MIC-1 architecture (with assemblers for the microcode language as well as the IJVM language):
* mic1
* Mic1 Microprogramming Simulator
* MIC Simulation Kit (note, though, that this one was written by me)
* idbg MIC-1 debugger
In my opinion, the existence of four (maybe more, not sure) MIC-1/IJVM emulators proves the importance of the topic. You can also search Google for "mic-1 ijvm" or similar, and you'll get 1000+ hits most of which are related to the topic.
Also, I'm sure you understand that Andrew Tanenbaum is an important personality in his field, and that his books are very widely used at universities in computer science courses -- which means that a lot of CS students worldwide are taught the MIC-1 microprogramming language and the IJVM language as the first assembly languages they encounter.
I'm sorry that i've left this article and the IJVM article in a poor state; unfortunately I don't own the book anymore, and I haven't touched the emulator I've written for ages, so I'd have to refresh my memory a little in order to write anything qualified.
Hopefully, I will expand both articles in the future, or someone else will.
I will leave the "importance" tag in the article for a few more days.

Talk:Strut (typesetting)

message: TeX offers \strut. Why the complicated \rule command in this case? --Mojca Miklavec
: As I recall, the \strut command inserts a strut of a specific size tailored to the current font size.  The \rule command is considerably more versatile, since you can set it to whatever size you need.  (Of course, \strut is still useful because it 'does' adapt automatically to the current font size.)

replies: text: No, it is right--a category page, by definition, is a list of articles within Wikipedia related to that category.  Think of it this way: the list you see on the category page is (and should be) a list of Wikipedia articles about buskers, not a list of buskers.  If you want to make a page with a list of buskers, regardless of whether they have a Wikipedia article or not, :Category:Buskers is not the right place to do that, but you could start a page called List of buskers which would be appropriate for that.

Talk:1994 Oregon Ballot Measure 16

message: Some ballot measures are naturally related; in this case, Measure 51 was specifically related to Measure 16. I think the reader is better served if both measures are treated in one article, with a title that reflects that it's about more than just one measure. For a similar example, see Oregon Ballot Measure 40 (1996) and subsequent measures. In this case, maybe Oregon ballot measures 16 (1994) and 51 (1997), with redirects from the current pages.

Please look at the (admittedly thin) discussion above. I believe that for topics like this, where there's a strong conceptual tie between the measures, that the reader is better served by having a single unified article. (I do think that maps and charts, like you and Athelwulf have done for other measures, would be helpful, but I think they can be included on this article.)
