thread_title: Survey

message: The term French Chinese is misleading. The article should talk about the Peopleflow between destination region and region of origin and describe regional migration patterns. Because this is a more realistic view about the Chinese migration. There are also economic issues which support this view. Look at the travel patterns, remittance streams and cultural goods.

message: Surely Côte-d'Or is "Gold Coast" not "golden slope"? --Bermicourt (talk) 17:18, 20 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In fact it is "golden slope"; the area was named by Charles-André-Rémy Arnoult for the hills covered in vineyards of yellow-coloured grapes, hence the name "golden slope".  "Côte" can be a tricky word to translate, as it can be translated as either "coast", or "slope" or "hill". --Cooperrr1986  —Preceding undated comment added 04:37, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

message: While it is true that VRAM dramatically increased the available bandwidth for displaying video data in the 1980s, it is untrue that Microsoft Windows or other GUIs would have been impossible. It also is untrue that VRAM was exclusively used in the beginning of the 1990s. Indeed, it was used on high-performance graphics cards those days, but not on consumer-grade hardware. On the low-end scale, the IBM PS/2 Model 30 MCGA graphics adapter indeed does use VRAM (at 8 bits bus width), but the very popular EGA and VGA graphics cards use classic DRAM (with 32 bits bus width). Most consumer-grade SVGA card controllers (like the OAK OTI-077, the Tseng Labs ET4000, Trident TVGA TVGA8900/TVGA9000 and Cirrus-Logic GD520/522x chips) also use DRAM.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.121.203 (talk) 12:16, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Oppose – VRAM is a special kind of dual-ported RAM but the applications are/were quite different (dual-ported RAM is usually used in complex interfacing). Zac67 (talk) 17:35, 2 July 2013 (UTC)

text: Oppose. I disagree with the merger. Dual-ported RAM is more general concept which may be used for various purposes (e.g. in network cards, for interprocessor communication); VRAM is just one of its uses (although perhaps the most widespread one). Kolarp (talk) 11:06, 6 July 2013 (UTC)

text: Oppose - VRAM is a kind of dual port RAM, BUT dual port RAMs are used in other systems too, specially with some embedded systems, NIC, in some FPGA designs, etc. So merge "dual port" RAM into VRAM may induced some confusion. Dilshan (talk) 04:05, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

message: Can something be done about the links to this page? It's extremely confusing. This page is linked to by many others and I have yet to see a single link that actually involves dual-ported RAM. Every link coming to this page expects it to be about video memory in general. So you have the pages for individual computers claiming to have X amount of "VRAM" and linking here, when those computers didn't use this kind of dual-ported RAM. 99.183.184.100 (talk) 13:20, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Broadside ironclad

message: A merger with Ironclad warship is perfectly possible, although may be cumbersome. A broadside ironclad was only one type of ironclad warship, the other main types being central battery armed, turret armed and barbette armed, witrh in addition one or two hybrid types. A merger would, for completeness, need to include all of these subdivisions. In my personal view keeping them seperate lends clarity to the distinction.--Anthony.bradbury 11:03, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Cable layer

message: The red links for historic cable ships that are candidates for an article serve a distinct purpose. When an article is created (I have two in long term development) the the pages links and "What links here" can be effective (unless buried in "Class" templates). Each of the ships red linked here are potentially subjects of an article and should not be de linked without discussion. Elimination of "Class templates" that do not exist and in some cases should not exist is another matter. Palmeira (talk) 10:14, 17 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:1995 French presidential election

message: Yesterday I made a comment about RolandR removing the reason on the fall of Balladur's popularity which I restored and I have been brought to task stating that it was a personal attack.
It was not a personal attack but a personal criticism on RolandR's failure to find an article to support the said reason on the fall of Balladur's popularity and one should able to detect such distinctions.
Information should only be removed if it is known for sure that the information is not true. This wasn't the case here therefore its removal was not justified. Therefore the criticism was justified.
Do not contact me to address this situation whatever one has to say, say it here because I would construe such contact as harassment. 220.239.167.151 (talk) 06:53, 13 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living people states explicitly "Remove immediately any contentious material about a living person that is unsourced or poorly sourced". The policy on personal attacks states "Insulting or disparaging an editor is a personal attack regardless of the manner in which it is done". In addition, the policy on edit summaries states "Avoid using edit summaries to carry on debates or negotiation over the content or to express opinions of the other users involved". To write in an edit summary that "RolandR does not know what he is talking about" is insulting and disparaging, and therefore a personal attack, and my removal of unsourced contentious material about Edouard Balladur, a living person, was not only acceptable, but mandatory under Wikipedia policies. The material should never have been included without a source, and I am not entirely happy about the source now added: if this was indeed notable, there should be a more prominent source than a Google cached article from the New Straits Times.

Talk:1986 French legislative election

message: I am currently in the process of adding parliamentary layouts for all the french legislative elections (or at the very least adding as many as possible). I have arrived at this legislative election and have come at a bit of an issue, there is a coalition that was formed prior to this election. Now in normal circumstances, I wouldn't prioritise showing party seats over coalition seats but the issue here is that there are a lot of join ticket candidates which makes it difficult to add it without it looking exactly like RPR (with the colour at least). I was hoping to get advice on how to handle the situation? Should I do parties(in which case what should I do about the colours)? Should I do coalitions? Or should I do both (as seen in the 2022 legislative elections, in which case I would also need guidance on where to put each one)? Historybuffedmasters (talk) 10:48, 9 March 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest doing one colour for the alliance due to the issue you mentioned with the joint candidates, which would also be consistent with the infobox. And probably not relevant here given the aforementioned issue, but you can put two parliamentary diagrams in the results table, either like this or by using the switcher function that is used for the 2022 election's infobox map.

Talk:1981 French legislative election

message: This seems to be a problem with the template, but Raymond Barre was absolutely not the incumbent prime minister in these elections.  What had happened was that Mitterrand had beaten Giscard in the presidential elections, and then had immediately dismissed Barre and appointed Mauroy as prime minister.

Talk:Football rivalries in France

message: Good job, but some little mistakes. Vichy didn't invent the "One town, one club" politic! That's an old story... The three pro clubs based at Bordeaux, for exemple, were forced to merge by the French FA in the 30's. After WWI and WWII, some clubs merged because they were broke. In the "classico" (I hate this name, only use by some stupid TV guys since 5 years...), you said that "most purists...". Who are those "purists"? Never heard about them... Le "big game" (call it classico if that can please you) is "the" game of the year. You have different clubs involved in those games since the begining of football in France. The first "big game" was Standard Vs. Club Français at the end of the XIXth century. From 1990, the "big game" is, with no doubt, PSG Vs. OM. In the eighties, it was Bordeaux Vs. Marseille, and from the mid-sixties to the begining of the eighties, it was St-Etienne Vs. Nantes. And so on (Reims Vs Racing (mid-50's to mid-60's), Lille Vs Racing (mid-1940's to mid-50's), Racing Vs. Marseille (30's) and Red Star Vs Olympique de Paris (1920's)). At the beginig of the XXth century, before WWI, there were not one "big game" : this was the golden age of local derbies all over France. At that time, every cities had not just one "big" club. At Marseille, for exemple, Olympique de Marseille and Stade Helvétique de Marseille. No special term to name the "classico", as you call them. For exemple, when you said today "PSG-OM", everything is said. No need to had a word... It was the same before.
