Talk:Magic Eye

message: It appears that much of the content of this article is (or refers to) the result of people [conf]using Magic Eye(tm) as a synonym for autostereogram (← nice, big article). Discuss. Frencheigh 10:11, 18 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Information under wrong title

message: I think a disambiguation page is required. 'Magic eye' is the term used in British English to describe the tuning indicator for valve (tube) radios, recording level indicators on tape recorders and other uses.

Talk:Neoclassical compound

message: The articles Classical compound and Combining form talk about the same subject, and should therefore be merged. --Antonielly (talk) 22:23, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Merged the article and redirected combining form here. AIRcorn (talk) 09:58, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merge proposal 

message: I think that the repeated use of "Western languages" (A large portion of the technical and scientific lexicon of English and other Western European languages <...>; <...> classical languages whose prestige is or was respected throughout the West European culture <...>) is inaccurate and openly ignores the fact that most Central and Eastern European languages and cultures do not differ at all from the Western European languages and cultures when it comes to the treatment of classical languages. Most scientific and technical vocabulary is built from Latin and Greek roots just as often in Russia, Poland, the Czech Republic, Latvia etc. as it is done in England, Germany or France.
So it would be best, in my opinion, to replace the weasel phrase "Western (European) languages" by simply "European languages" since most European countries are a part of the same civilization which originated with the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece. --RokasT (talk) 15:14, 15 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Βιογραφία is attested in Greek - per LSJ and OED; see also OeD - in Damascius' Vita Isidori (and later texts; including related words); it's not an international or New (Graeco-)Latin neologism/coining (see postscript). So this example has to be replaced by something else or the text needs to be rephrased. PS According to the OED, it seems that biographia is indeed New Latin though, albeit old New Latin, simply copied from (Medieval) Greek, not really recent and not attested in Medieval or Late Latin.

Talk:Greg Vaughan

message: I find the following sentences to be completely laughable.  They sound like they are written by a fangirl.  "Whereas Jonathan Jackson was an introspective, soulful teen and Jacob Young a more vapid blond hunk, Greg is a well-built leading man. His handsome face is accented with a scar on the left side of his chin, giving him a slight toughness to his look. He is usually dressed casually in his role of undercover cop, but viewers were dazzled when he wore full-dress white tie and tails for the wedding scene last year.... He looked very dapper and, in rare bare-chested scenes, is very strong and athletic, with a large tattoo over the back of his shoulders."

message: On April 16, 1997, the very day Doris died, Roger missed a court date on drug-related charges.
*Is this relevant to his story?
Roger always got into trouble. He had been booted out of several schools and had even been sent to a military academy. Roger was never as successful as his brother was, even while he was in Houston.
*This seems to me to need rewording to be NPOV
Roger shot up Robert's condominium in 1991, and sent him numerous messages attempting extortion on different occasions prior to the murder of Robert's wife Doris.

thread_title:  History of its demise 

message: So, as noted above, the .38/200 article was once previously merged into this one, but was spun back out at one point. Well, looking at both articles, and the technical definitions of both, these are the same cartridge, with variation being no greater than one finds within any cartridge. The title is just a particular military's internal designation, which is a valid synonym, but not a reason to have a separate article. I think we should remerge the articles at this title. oknazevad (talk) 01:48, 26 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I merged in over 25k of text and three sources directly taken from the other article. Beyond that, the other article was largely redundant meta-content already included here, such as the navboxes and categories, a major reason for the merge in the first place. The infobox on the other page contained more material, but it was too specific to British military use, so those parameters were omitted. Considering even the other article noted that during WWII the UK had to use standard commercial .38 S&W rounds imported from the US for the same revolvers (part of the text merged into here), and that the .380/200 & 380 Mk IIz were just (two different) particular mil-spec loadings of the cartridge, making the infobox focus on them would be too narrow for an overview of the cartridge as a whole. oknazevad (talk) 04:42, 8 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Branch plant economy

message: I have reverted the edit stating that there may be little incentive to operate a branch plant at a profit, and that parent companies would operate at cost instead. There is always an incentive to make a profit. The question is, can you make sure that your profits are located in a low-tax jurisdiction instead of a high-tax one. Ways of doing this include "transfer pricing", e.g., parent company in low-tax country sells inputs to branch plant in high-tax country at a substantial mark-up to make sure that the branch plant doesn't make money. Or, it buys the branch plant's output at blow market value for the same reason. However, the Department of Finance has cottoned on to these strategies, and has developed transfer pricing rules to make sure that intra-corporate group transaction across borders occur at fair market value. There are also "thin capitalization rules" to prevent a parent from using debt transactions to drain profits out of Canada. Ground Zero 20:00, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
