Wikipedia talk:Category classification templates

message: I'm not saying this is a bad idea, but I think implementing more than a few of these without software support is likely not to be a good idea.  Categorization is NOT static, and these categorization links are meant to expose the current category hierarachy meaning they need to be changed if anything above them changes.  Like a "come from" statement in a programming language, this results in one change ("above" in the hierarchy) requiring other non-local, unobvious changes in other places.  This also means changes at higher levels of the hierarchy might end up affecting lots and lots of lower level categories. Another potential problem (not sure if this would be a real problem) is the number of "paths" to :category:fundamental a given category might be able to follow.  If each category is parented in exactly two categories, as we go up N levels we expand according to 2**N, but we end up at a single root so clearly the 2**N explosion breaks down at some point (I'm sure some geneticist knows the number of paths to a single root, seems like it should be 2**(N/2 + 1) or something).  In any event - nice idea, but crappy to hard code. -- Rick Block 04:34, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Unstable categorization is a problem for Classification.  Because of this, I have recently only been using templates to classify.  If the categorization scheme changes, (especially for the foo categories), it will probably be easy to modify the templates to change an entire set of subcategories. -- Samuel Wantman 22:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

message: I have had difficulty is finding people classified in sub-categories and sub-sub-categories when I have been browsing wikipedia. Could it be possible to write some code, so that the sub-category lists appear in the category lists as this would be very helpful. Either that or a way of classifying people in sub-categories and categories together. e.g. [Category:Chemist [Subcategory:British Chemist] [Subcategory:Nobel Prize Winners in Chemistry]].

Talk:Autodesk Animator

message: Since Animator is no longer supported, I can feel free to promote it. This is without doubt the best piece of software I have ever used. My employer embedded animator files into its multimedia CD-ROMs, and almost anything was possible. It played full screen animations on a 386 (as long as the animations were carefully designed). I have never seen anything that rivals it for handling a palette, before or since. The only weaknesses were poor fonts and dithering, but these problems could be overcome. At the time, Macromedia Director was advertised as the number one animation tool, but in comparison to Animator, Director was awkward, amateurish, very limited  and painfully slow. Since then, Director has greatly improved, and Flash makes it a high quality animation tool at last. But back then it was laughable in comparison. But I remember it being promoted as an animation tool, and as a result it took me years to take Director seriously. The same can be said for other DOS and Windows based animators of the time. Another thing I liked was the crisp, clean animations. Most bitmap based animation formats (e.g. AVI) use lossy compression. As a result, animations created in Animator can become five or ten times bigger, and look much worse, when converted to AVI (depending on the codec used).  My large Animator files played smoothly and beautifully even from a two speed CD. O.K., I have raved enough. I really, really liked this product. Please note that I refer to Animator Pro. Animator Studio (the later Windows version) was a brave attempt to incorporate 24 bit color and sound, but it was buggy and slow, and nothing like as useful as Animator Pro. Animator Pro is sadly missed. - Chris Tolworthy
Good lord, the grammar in this article was/is atrocious.  It's most definitely not written like an encyclopedia article.  I started to to a bit of cleaning but gave up.

Talk:William Sterndale Bennett

message: A further London performance was given in June 1833. ... Among the audience was Felix Mendelssohn, who was sufficiently impressed to invite Bennett to the Lower Rhenish Music Festival in Düsseldorf.
: Query: My Grove (5th ed and getting increasingly dated) says the concerto had its second performance on 30 March 1833, in the Hanover Square Rooms, and that this was where Mendelssohn met WSB and invited him to Germany.  They describe the date 30 March as "a crucial one".  I don't doubt other performances occurred, such as one in June, and that Mendelssohn was present at one or more of them.  
: Can we get clarity on exactly when this important first meeting happened?  --  ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ [your turn] 21:27, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The London premiere of the D minor concerto was indeed on 30 March 1833, but the current Grove (online edition) says it was at the 26 June 1833 performance that Mendelssohn was present and invited Bennett to Germany. The ODNB concurs, as does Bennett Jr in his 1907 biography of his father. Coming at it from the other direction, in his biography of Mendelssohn R Larry Todd says that Mendelssohn met Bennett "during the summer of 1833", which is consistent with the above rather than with Blom's Grove. Moreover, in the current Grove this same Todd says that on the first of his two visits to Britain during 1833 Mendelssohn didn't arrive in London until 25 April. – Tim riley (talk) 10:01, 18 May 2012 (UTC)

Acrobat is a trademark too; if someone is innocently beguiled into using "Acrobat file" for PDFs not made with Acrobat, they could find themselves in hot water.
