Talk:Stop & Shop

message: There is a gap in the chronology.  "In the late 1980s ... Stop & Shop was sold at public offering."  Then suddenly we see an entirely new name with no evident connection to Stop & Shop: "In 1994, Giant-Landover began northern expansion ... During 2005, the newly formed Stop & Shop/Giant ...", again with no prior mention of this formation and no explanation of why it was formed.  Zaslav (talk) 10:38, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

message: There is a conflict in this article over the dates of observance. In the introduction, it says the celebration is observed on Dec. 12, or the closest weekend, but later, at the beginning of the section "Celebration," it says the celebration is usually held on Dec. 11 or the closest weekend. This is an argument that members of my family have had for years, but this article tries to have it both ways. There must be a correct answer, but I don't know what it is.

Talk:TCP global synchronization

message: * it's missing a definition
:I suggest the following definition: "TCP global synchronization is an event, in course of which several TCP streams start to send packets simultaneously." In other words, TCP global syncronization is a TCP equivalent of physical resonance, where time substitutes frequency, and number of packets arrived in one time unit substitutes amplitude. Unfortunately, I cannot provide a linkable source (lecture at Internet Technology course in university), and therefore do not put this definition directly into the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.61.172 (talk) 21:06, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

message: Is this problem a real problem that occurs on real diverse networks like the internet, or  theoretical problem that only occurs on test networks specially designed to demonstarate this.  192.102.214.6 (talk) 14:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see any reasons to claim this problem is not likely to occur in "real diverse networks". Most importantly, the description of problem does not pose any special conditions on the environment, i.e it may happen in any network, where a router has to drop TCP packets across several links almost at the same time, which leads to a nearly simultaneous retransmission as soon as these packets timeout. It is true that different hosts may follow different TCP congestion avoidance algorithms, but there are just a few widespread versions of such algorithms, and only some of them (like in BSD) are implemented so that the timeout is slightly randomized. So, in practice if the router uses tail drop congestion avoidance, this setup is quite likely to occur in a network like the Internet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.254.61.172 (talk) 23:59, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scale of problem 

message: Connectionless protocols such as UDP do not experience global synchronization because they ignore (or are not aware of) packet loss
This is meaningless.
UDP does not deal with packet loss (it is packet-loss neutral). It is not unaware of, it simply does not care. OTOH, reliable higher-level protocols care, are aware of, and deal with packet loss. The way some higher protocol does may not be exactly the same as TCP, but it will have similarities, because the context (problem, goal, constraints...) is exactly the same.
Since the design of UDP is basically the opposite of the design of TCP (unconnected, datagram-based, un-acknowledged, no rate limiting vs connected, stream-based, packet acknowledgment, rate control), they can't be used interchangeably, their only common feature being that they are both user protocol (having user chosen ports).
Since they can't be used in the same context, it is particularly absurd to compare problems with TCP with problems with UDP. Even putting them on the same "level" is misleading.
So : removing this sentence.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.27.60.48 (talk) 00:49, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Pulse (music)

message: *
What is difficult to understand? I assume the definition, so here goes: "In other words a pulse is the steady and regularly repetition of a short sound without pause or interruption." How's that? Hyacinth 11:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: An isochronal or equally spaced rhythm is one that uses varied pulse groups (rather than just one pulse group the whole piece) to create a pulse on the (slower) multiple level that is non-isochronal (a stream of 2+3... at the eighth note level would create a pulse of a quarter note+dotted quarter note as its multiple level).

thread_title: Too technical

message: The opening, I'm afraid, contains nonsense: "identical yet distinct periodic short-duration stimuli perceived as points in time[1] occurring at the mensural level. 'This pulse is typically what listeners entrain to ...'"
Why does the beat necessarily need stimuli if it's entrained to? Tony (talk) 08:35, 26 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for quoting the article, giving some indication of what needs clarification. If there is no stimuli then there is nothing to entrain to (synchrony requires at least two parts in coordination). Entrainment may continue or linger after stimuli stops or changes, but if one entrains without stimuli one is making subjective/arbitrary groupings (or responding to hallucination). I wouldn't say that a single error or unclear point makes nonsense. Hyacinth (talk) 02:05, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: But it's a basic issue, right at the top. See Marie R. Jones 1981, 1986, and especially 1990. London 2012 (2004) explains it more broadly as a two-phase discovery–generation process right at the start of a movement, where the listener "discovers" the various layers of relatively short, regular metric cycles (beat divisions, beats, downbeats) within seconds of the opening, then generates privileged time-points in the near future on that basis. Temperley (2000) famously wrote that even if the content goes against this temporarily, the beat, at least, stays fixed in entrainment. So if "stimuli" are to be even mentioned at the top, this process needs to be explained. It's well-accepted in the lit. Yes, sorry about "nonsense". Tony (talk) 23:55, 14 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Wood stork

message: This tag struck me as out of place in a section called "Further reading". Looking at the history (the tag was added sometime in September 2008) it seems that this book used to be in the list of general references. Was it perhaps moved to the "Further Reading" section because it could not be determined what material in the article belonged to it? If so, I think general references are okay and not everything has to have a footnote after it, so I think the book could be reinstated. If it is simply recommended reading and there is nothing in the article from the book, then shouldn't that tag be removed since the section doesn't have much to do with references?

thread_title: Some organizations miss out

message: Each country uses either the -s- or -z- spelling for all its organisations/organizations categories.  UK and connected nations use -s-, US and connected nations use -z-. 
In English Wikipedia, the intention is to have a category redirect for the other spelling corresponding to every organisations category. User:BrownHairedGirl set these up using a bot a few years ago, but they may of course be missing for any newly-created organisations categories.
An RFC was attempted in 2019 to standardise these: Wikipedia:Village pump (policy)/Archive 153#RFC: spelling of "organisation"/"organization" in descriptive category names.
However, this did not gain consensus. 
Some countries' spellings were decided at a full WP:CFD discussion, e.g. 
* France -> Z (2017)
For other countries, the current spelling is a historical accident based on what was predominantly used first. They would need a full CFD for each country hierarchy to change over. Such discussions have proved contentious in the past. 
However, if new categories are added, they should match the majority pattern within the country hierarchy, and any exceptions can be speedily renamed. – Fayenatic London 21:42, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
