When I read the KPFM page today, I was very confused about which technique it was describing.  Perhaps it could be useful to review this merge or maybe break up the current page into more clear sections for "Contact Mode KPFM", "Non-Contact Mode KPFM" and "Scanning Kelvin Probe" (or maybe Non-Resonant KPFM, but that could be a little misleading?).

Talk:Poland and weapons of mass destruction

message: Poland never had an active nuclear weapons program, and there are no sources to justify such an assertion.  A recent article in Nonproliferation Review (see Hersman and Peters, Nonproliferation Review, Vol. 13, No. 3 "Nuclear U-Turns) listed 18 states that once had, but later abandoned nuclear weapons programs.  These states constitute the "known universe" of verifiable NW programs Poland is not one of these.  While the Soviets undoubtedly did station tactical nuclear weapons in Poland during the Cold War, this does not constitute a Polish arsenal.  I'm going to change this article to reflect this until someone can come up with any citations, sources, or justifications for accusing Poland of having had a NW program.
I think I am the only one who can provide any information. Poland even now haves from 5 to 15 nuclear warheards. There, I say it, and I am a citizen of Poland.
~Dark Sturm II.
_________
So does Poland have them or not?
-G
They did. During the Cold War, they had Russian-controlled stockpiles, as well as a Russian-sponsored seperate nuclear program. Just like Kazahstan. You are right, it is confusing because the "Nuclear weapons" article mis-classified them. I'll fix it. 
But why does the article say it was not officially a nuclear power. That's not correct. I'm getting rid of that too.

shouldn´t this part be removed from this article and better been mentioned with Günther or Herbert Quandt? I suppose the film ARD made deals with the actions of his father and half-brother during the war, so it should be mentioned more likely with one of them. It´s nothing Harald himself was engaged in, because he was at war in this years.- It might be interesting, by the way, that these film was shown at ARD only after 11:00 pm, when only few people were watching TV. The reason for this is quite clear: Quandt family is the owner of the German car producer BMW - of cause nobody in the German media can be interested to annoy them!!!

Talk:Nicholas Van Dyke (1769-1826)

message: I have altered his year of birth from 1770 to 1769. The 1770 year comes from the Congressional bioguide, whuich in turn comes from the Dictionary of American Biography. I believe their source was his headstone in the Immanuel Churchyard in New Castle which only gives his date of death and notes "in his 56th year". (1826 minus 56 is 1770).
I found the 1769 year in the DAR records, the Princeton University arcchives and two genealogy sources, as well as Applpleton's Encyclopedia (1889 printing). Given the dates of birth and death, 1769 means his death would be in his 56th year, so I've chosen to go with that year. Comment here of my talk page, thanks,  Lou I 18:01, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

message: "The stories of Brasky's life and seemingly legendary accomplishments are exaggerated to absurd levels in the American tradition of tall tales, similar to the "Chuck Norris Facts" Internet phenomenon, employed nearly a decade later (in fact, Bill Brasky quotes are regularly recycled as Chuck Norris facts). If their stories are to be believed, Brasky is ten feet tall, weighs two tons, and has cheated death on numerous occasions."
I think it might worth mentioning that the Bill Brasky jokes are actually what evolved into the Chuck Norris jokes ("facts" ^_^), rather than merely being "similar."

:Yeah, I think that should be mentioned. There is actually a decent summary of this type of thing in the Vin Diesel article.

Talk:Vertex and pixel shaders

message: I am reviewing shaders and I plan to release a new version soon with improved layout, information and references. Leave me some days to get it online, in the meanwhile, let's talk about this.
There are good reasons to merge this into shader:
* Users are unlikely to write "Vertex and pixel shaders": because they are both shaders, they'll probably write "shaders", instead.
* This page is quite a bit outdated (PS3.0 is now commodity) and carries little information by itself.
* Both pages are getting little attention, altough shaders seems to be more active.
* Vertex and Fragment processing are just special shading cases, a subset of shader capabilities and so it really needs to be merged.
* We want to keep the structure simple.
Tell me what you think about this. I believe I'll update the new "shader" page in few days and then start integrating this (is there any problem with the copied info? They're facts). It will probably take me 1-2 weeks. MaxDZ8 08:49, 23 October 2005 (UTC)

but this dab page entry is about stemmers, not stemming. — CpiralCpiral 19:51, 23 November 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok, there are two issues here. Firstly, MOS:DAB says that "The article title should appear exactly as it is on the target page", except in a few circumstances that don't apply here, as far as I can tell. More importantly, a stemmer is a program or algorithm that does stemming, which is to produce the stem from inflected forms, not the other way around: , , .
