Talk:The Brothers K

message: In the context of an encyclopedia article about a book, I don't think it's very useful to include a table of contents.  They are full of information but they usually don't make much sense unless you've read the book.  A person seeking this information could easily find the contents online or in the book itself, but here it seems like more clutter than it is worth.  Ergo, I have removed it.  -Wiccan Quagga (talk) 02:03, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Al-Qata'i

message: It states:
:"Al-Qaṭāʾi was...razed in the early 10th century CE...incorporated into Cairo in 969 CE."
If razed in early 10th, how could it be incorporated into Cairo in 969? Current wording suggests "razed for good" – if rebuilt in the c. half century between that and 969, then say so. If its former territory was incorporated, then also say so. As of now it makes no sense whatsoever. Arminden (talk) 13:01, 6 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gorboduc

message: Just removed an item from the associations list, because as stands it's pure speculation. If there's documentation anywhere that Tolkein was intentionally referencing King Gorboduc "in coining the name "Gorbadoc" for Frodo Baggins' Brandybuck grandfather" then I'd be happy to add that back to the list.

thread_title: unititled

message: Because this point was challenged, I will leave the response here, and someone else can rewrite or restore the point that was made in the associations list. In the 6th volume of Christopher Tolkien's History of Middle-earth -- The Return of the Shadow -- he discusses his father's phases of composition. There he includes several uses of the spelling Gorboduc, including the character Gorboduc Brandybuck, in a genealogy and parts of the story. From this information, and knowing that Tolkien was wont to use Welsh names for certain families of hobbits, I believe we can confidently make the association that was originally posted on this page.

Talk:Michigan State University College of Law

message: I have removed this section for the following reasons:
* The "working tort lab" is an in-joke at the school, but its entry here does not treat it as such. 
* "The Rock" is not specifically related to the College of Law.

thread_title:  "Legends and Icons" 

message: I continue to disagree that the "Working Tort Lab" joke is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia. Just because the joke was supposedly made by a professor does not make it any more valid, and a phrase clearly intended to justify its entry — "Many within the law college find this legend endearing" — is weaselly.

message: The article mentions that Detroit College of Law was located at 130 E. Elizabeth Street, in Detroit, from 1937 to 1997.  It goes on to state that it moved in 1997, because its 99-year lease with the YMCA expired.  Hold on a minute!  From 1937 to 1997 is only 60 years.  What happened to the other 39?  Did Detroit College of Law lease a building for 39 years before moving into it, or was it located at 130 E. Elizabeth Street from 1898 to 1997?  174.17.137.81 (talk) 18:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Less eligibility

message: I'm sorry to say so, but the article does not properly make sense of the nature and definition of the less eligibility principle. All I get is a circular reasoning that conditions in workhouses were made bad and deterrent due to that principle, and here I am made to understand that the principle was expressed in those bad and deterrent conditions, but not precisely what "less eligible" means. This nonsensical aspect may be due to the fact that "eligible" now means "fit to be chosen", while at the time the word may have been synonymous with "desirable", but it would be good to state this clearly. --Svartalf 21:26, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Downloadable Conditional Access System

message: We could benefit from a technical description of what is going on in the System diagram submitted by comcast to the FCC.  I moved the ball forward in some of the description but at the time of this writing, the OpenCable site does not list any specs on DCAS.  Purportedly, details may be found in draft 2.5 of the Opencable Host spec.  No luck finding that online.  I could take a stab at describing the system flow, but I would prefer to have a specification in front of me.  In any case, documenting an unfinal spec is hazardous, especially given the controversies and political wrangling going surrounding this one.  -Mak 21:30, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Restored Pascal as language with goto. See (1981) and ISO7185, section 6.8.2.4(PDF)(1990) JamesDay 14:26, 25 Oct 2003 (UTC)

message: The article claims that GOTO leads to infinite loops, illustrating this with a BASIC code fragment:
 10 PRINT "Hello, world!"
 20 GOTO 10
But in BASIC dialects that implement structured programming, it's possible to write an equivalent infinite loop without a single GOTO:
 DO
   PRINT "Hello, world!"
 LOOP WHILE 0 = 0
Or equivalently in C:
 do {
   puts("Hello, world!");
 } while(0 == 0);
So is this a bad example? Is there a short way to express how use of GOTO leads to inadvertent infinite loops? --Damian Yerrick 03:40, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
