Talk:WAD file

message: The biggest question I have is what is the purpose of a WAD file?  Does it provide better performance over using the OS' file system?
:Most operating systems perform poorly if you have a lot of small files. This was even more true when Doom got out (FAT16). Furthermore, it is easier to copy one big file than a myriad smaller ones. David.Monniaux 20:20, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Adolf Schlagintweit

message: It's completely unclear to me whether Adolf was a "von". He is often referred to that way in English-language websites (beware of WP clones), but curiously German-language sites almost never use it. I don't have any print sources to check. Curiously, the modern EB cites him in their Karakoram article as "Adolphe de Schlagintweit", which is just bizarre. Stan 14:58, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: "Adolphe" is the spelling used in all contemporary reports, as well as in the reports authored by the Schlagintweit brothers (albeit posthumously by Adolphe himself). The authors of the official reports, by the brothers themselves, are given as "Hermann, Adolphe, and Robert de Schlagintweit".  I would also note that the "standard author abbreviation" is meaningless, as Adolphe never authored the name of any plant taxon.  71.163.146.238 (talk) 16:24, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Tigrawot

message: I had some more comments about this, but figured this was a better place, rather than on the voting page.
My wife is Ethiopian (though not a Tigrinya speaker).  I asked her about this, and she said "Tigrawot" doesn't make any sense.  Literally it means "Tigray stew" (which occurred to me when I first saw the term).
Try a Google search on Tigrawot - in all but a couple of cases, it's used (from the Eritrean POV) in highly charged commentary about Eritrean-Ethiopian relations.  So we even wondered if "Tigrawot" might be a pejorative term.  But if Tigrinya speakers do indeed actually use this term to refer to themselves, then it seems to be a recent invention, and if this is the case then the article (if kept) needs to include this.
On the other hand my wife could not think of another word that one would use to refer to the group of people who speak Tigrinya (we don't think it's Tigray, which is the name of a place).  She thought it was "Tigre" but I pointed out that Tigre seems to refer to a different (though related) language and its speakers who are mainly in Eritrea.

Talk:Monkstown, County Dublin

message: This article was recently moved to Monkstown Dublin. It has been moved back here.
Please note that the format for Irish towns is first "Townname". If this is not available, or disambiguation is necessary, the format "Townname, County Countyname" is followed - except for Dublin where the city and county are too closely associated (we use "Townname, Dublin"). Any suburbs are at Suburbname or Suburbname, Cityname.
This is the current status quo for Irish town articles.

Talk:Contemporary views on race

message: If this article is primarily on human races, it is surprising that there is no section on anthropological views.  Physical anthropology is the branch of science that specifically specializes in human evolution and genetic variation. Slrubenstein 16:09, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: I added the "citation needed" tag because I have no idea of who is this guy and no references are provided. His claims are so outlandish that they should be assorted with a citation or a book, something to put him into context. And "others think" is totally unreferenced. "African" race? Wow !!! If that's not a "clash of civilizations" POV... Lapaz
*It is amazing that someone who claims to know so much about the history of the concept of race doesn't know who Luigi Cavalli-Sforza is. He's probably one of the most famous living geneticists out there, and though he claims to not believe in typological notions of race he is the main scientific force behind the controversial Human Genome Diversity Project and the Genographic Project. --Fastfission 03:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fact 

message: "Genetic views on race" is an awkward expression, and much of the article discusses biological race in general, or is stub sections meant to discuss non-molecular biology topics. I think expanding the article in the originally planned directions is a better idea than the move. The Human genetic variation already has coverage of that topic in more detail than in this article, and is probably the place for additional material on the subject. There is also Race in biomedicine.
Biopiracy refers to something completely different than the charge of reifying pre-assumed racial categories. The Cavalli-Sforza article has the source for this quote, and it turns out to be a concern about possible commercial use of data that would be collected for the proposed Human Genome Diversity Project, not about theory of racial classification.
Also, on Rikurzhen's earlier material:
I did not see anything in Cavalli-Sforza's book that gave particular emphasis to a four-race concept. Cavalli-Sforza mainly discusses tree models with a different number of branches at each level, while recognizing that there has also been cross-mating which is not described by a tree model.

message: At first reading, the second paragraph sounded self-contradictory to me.  But I saw that the page almost all indicates alternate meanings besides the "all but finitely many" that I'm used to in number theory.  I would recommend specifying which definition of "almost all" you are referring to, such as almost all Cullen numbers are composite, in the sense that the number of Cullen numbers less than x, divided by x, approaches zero as x approaches infinity.

# After apparently inventing the name "Dual Cullen number", I don't see reason to say "dual Woodall prime" about such numbers which are prime.
# I cannot find sense in "the numerator of the number n*2n + 1 is 2n - n". For example, for n = -6 it becomes "the numerator of the number 29/32 is 385/64".
# The OEIS sequences don't mention a connection to Cullen numbers.
