# Currently in Wikipedia there is a page called Root kit. Have look at it!
# However, more commonly used term is Rootkit (without space). The objective is to move page "Root kit" with all its on contents to replace this current page (that used to be a redirection)

message: I agree with the desire to consolidate it into one definition but should that definition be under "root kit" or "rootkit?" I feel like "rootkit" is the more proper form.
Agreed. This is not anyway a candidate for speedy deletion, which I for one oppose. Either this article should redirect to Root kit or Root kit should redirect here. As I cam here looking for the article I strongly support moving Root kit here, SqueakBox 16:07, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: D1 link correction

message: Re: "request for all the toppings and condiments available", I have long believed that the idiom actually arose from the clockwork innards (i.e., "works") of a machine.  (C.f. "to throw a wrench/spanner in the works".)  Thus, in the context of X (clock, engine, hamburger, etc.) "the works" idiomatically means "everything necessary to make X an X".  I'm backed up in this by Answers.com (totally unreliable, I know), which puts the origin in the 1800s.  I guess my point is that restricting the idiom here to toppings and condiments isn't really correct.  More generally, is there a good place on Wikipedia to explain the origin and meaning of idioms?  We've got the list of idioms in the English language, I know, but that seems insufficient.  Regards, Ryan McDaniel 16:16, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Sorry about having to use the crowned hand old Northern Ireland flag. There is absolutely nothing else symbolising Northern Ireland anywhere on wikipedia.

replies: text: I must say personally I think it should use the Union flag, that is after all the only official flag to represent Northern Ireland. As Northern Irish myself I like the old red hand flag, but as it is no longer official and hence I think it should be removed. The Union flag is the only alternative. Ben W Bell 22:30, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

text: I couldn't care less about either sides symbols to be honest, the Union flag is the only flag that can be used for Northern Ireland plain and simple. As for a divided society, you should try living up there to see just how many people care about the division you'll find it's a minority on both sides for the most part, the majority of the population just want to get on with their lives. At the end of the day Northern Ireland is part of the United Kingdom, plain and simple, legally, technically and for any other reason that really matters wether people like it or not, it's as much part of the UK as Israel is it's own country or the United States government owns the US and not the native Americans.

Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/April 25, 2005

message: The Kinks, a British Invasion pop/rock band, were formed in London in 1963 by Dave Davies and Peter Quaife. Their early incarnation as rebellious three-chord rockers provided a template for punk, and their later albums (particularly The Village Green Preservation Society) are frequently cited by underground musicians and music fans as an apogee of pop songwriting. The band never gained the same degree of popularity as their peers, in part because legal problems prevented them from touring in America throughout most of the late 1960s, but also due to Davies' disdain for popular muscial trends in his songwriting.  Nevertheless, the Kinks are one of the most influential British Invasion acts, and maintain a rabidly loyal fan base.

thread_title: This article was switched

message: FrankB says — All due respect, but...
:This is clear as mud, as written. It fails totally to tell anything but history terms to non-already familiar (with topic) reader; IMHO, needs more 'reader hand holding' — clear introduction and some explaination of individual terms, tho' the detail for those should be left to the individual articles. Much too terse, so reads almost like gibberish; save one knows are technical terms known to some specialist, but this is not a trade journal! I love history with all the passion of a hobbiest, but this gave me almost nothing I could grasp and hold. (IF you want help, yell!)
*Thus needs much expansion to introduce each term, give sense of history to the unsuspecting reader. (See the history section of Liodong which I expanded last evening for a sketch like I propose. Note how unnecessary detail is left for the articles in Links, but the gist of the history, the high points, is given) Unless of course, you feel 'to hell with the average reader, I'm writing for the acedemic already with knowledge of Comparative Far Eastern History
*These are the sections that need the most work as of this writing:
::"Since the establishment of the Ritsuryo system, Tsushima Province has been a strategic area that took a major role in the national defense against possible invasions from the continent and in trade with the Korean Peninsula. After Japan was defeated by the Tang at the Battle of Hakusukinoe in 663, Kaneda Castle was constructed on this island.
::Tsushima Province had been controlled by the Tsushima-no-kuni-no-miyatsuko clan until the Heian Period. This clan was replaced by the Ahiru clan. The So clan rose into power around the middle 13th century and seized control of the whole island in the late 15th century. During the Edo period, Tsushima Province was dominated by the Tsushima Fuchu domain (Izuhara domain) of the So clan. It was put in charge of diplomacy and monopolized trade with the Joseon Dynasty of Korea.
::As a result of the abolition of the Han system, the Tsushima Fuchu domain became Izuhara Prefecture in 1871. In the same year, Izuhara Prefecture was merged into Imari Prefecture, which was renamed Saga Prefecture in 1872. Tsushima was transferred to Nagasaki Prefecture in 1872."

thread_title:  Copyright? 

message: An IP editor at Fort Hays State is adding additional information to the infobox result, which per the APBB is classified as a "Confederate victory."  Calling it a "raid victory" is contorted.  Similarly, the other wording is inappropriate for what should be a simple summary, and is already covered in the text.  While the small fort held out, there were extremely heavy Federal casualties because of the attack on Blunt's column, so I don't see a good reason to add "Fort Blair remains in Union hands" in the summary infobox result, especially considering it was abandoned shortly thereafter because of its vulnerability.  It wasn't like it held strategic value and there wasn't an all out assault.  It was typical of raiders (and guerrillas) attempting to capture such a position without heavy assault, and withdrawing in the face of determined defense.  Absent the massacre and assuming that the raiders did not make and succeed in an all out assault because of the absence of Blunt, it would have been a Union victory.
Insertion of the additional wording carries some unnecessary bias that I believe it would be best to avoid. Red Harvest (talk) 00:47, 25 March 2015 (UTC)
