message: The article reads like a child's comic book. The article is heavily POV, obviously written by a fan of Admiral Yi, who I admit was a great admiral and hero of Korea. However, the article only contains his view. Here's a summary:
So, the mean ol' Japanese were harassing defenseless Korean peasants, and then Superman, I mean Admiral Yi, came in and  annihilated the whole Japanese fleet without losing a man. And then took the looted treasures off the Japanese ships. I didn't know Korean peasants kept treasures. Boneyard90 (talk) 17:53, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:List of films considered the best/Archive 2

message: Looking over the list, I notice that there are very few films made before about 1965. Of particular alarm are the deletions of the early Walt Disney animated features from the list. Is there a  particular reason why Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, and Fantasia are no longer on this list? Is it okay to add them back? Those three films are the ones Beauty and the Beast and The Lion King stand in the shadows of, and, while a casual viewer might (of course) prefer the newer films, the older films are still upheld by critics for their storytelling, audience appeal, and artistic quality. --b.

thread_title: New discussion after RFC template placed in this section on 7 July 2014

message: The documentation for this template says, "date is the date on which you added this template to the talk page, e.g. date=12 February 2015." However, when you insert the template, the date you enter is used to populate the "when the mention happened' section, e.g. On , Template:High traffic was linked from a high-traffic website.
So it seems to me that if on January 1 a high-traffic website mentions a page, and on January 2 I insert this template, I should put "January 1" as the date, not "January 2". So... should we change the documentation? Note that "date" = "date mention ocurred" and not "date you entered the template"?
(I'm aware that this makes this template behave differently from most of the others, where the "date" tag is used to track  when the template was added--but it looks like we're stuck with that.) Narsil (talk) 20:29, 12 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Accommodation reflex

message: Regarding: "The Accommodation Reflex is a reflex action of the eye, in response to focusing on a near object, then looking at distant object (and vice versa)." "Focusing on a near object" is called "accommodation", therefore, the essence of the statement is "the accommodation reflex is a reflex in response to accommodation". The sentence would be more accurate if that part read "viewing a near object".  The last phrase (i.e. "then looking at distant object (and vice versa)" should be removed because viewing a distance object is not actually part of the reflex.
Regarding: "It is dependent on cranial nerve II (afferent limb of reflex), higher centres and cranial nerves III, IV and VI (efferent limb of reflex)." Unless there is some new theory, I don't believe IV and VI are involved in the reflex. Edwardian 06:35, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You raise good points.  Technically it is true that IV is not involved... but only if you're in the the horizontal (transverse) plane of the eye.  Generally, that exception aside I do believe IV is important 'cause you can't look up and down without it relaxing or contracting.  It might be a question of definition... not sure.  VI controls the lateral rectus and that muscle has to relax... tone has to decrease ('cause it is opposes the medial rectus).  A reference would be a good thing... Nephron 07:13, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Regarding "you can't look up and down without it relaxing or contracting": I'm not sure what you mean by "it" - the superior oblique muscle (innervated by IV) or the ciliary muscle? I don't think the accommodation reflex is dependent on IV and VI because you CAN look up or down or to the side and not accommodate. Edwardian 18:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Introductory paragraph

message: The main article describes correct operation but not conditions that cause vision problems with example images.
Can someone add a list of conditions that affect accommodation and resulting vision changes? Deformation while accommodating. Can changing focus deform an uneven lens resulting in multiple focal points (multiple images or blur in each eye separately)? The optometrist performs the standard tests and supplies a prescription that works (myopia & astigmatism) for a very narrow range of accommodation. If I defocus while using a single vision lens and single eye at a time, I see the image separate into multiple copies of different sizes/shapes/locations (of the order of 0.1 degree per 2 diopter change). I read with only a window of 2 characters in focus with the adjacent characters loosing legibility by 50% per character from centre (ie. the c of centre I can guess correctly 25% of the time when eyes are focused between the "n" and "t"). My peripheral vision test as normal, my central vision correctable with glasses but obviously more complicated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tygrus (talk • contribs) 03:19, 10 October 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Domain/OS

message: Have updated this page with extra details dredged from memory. Will keep doing so from time to time. It may be that I have documentation still stashed away somewhere which would help.
Two comments:
- There really should be two separate pages, one for Aegis and one for Domain/OS, but there isn't enough info for that right now.
- Proper info really requires input from several people, especially from the US (I'm from the UK, so my perspective may not be a typical one)
 User:AlexSwanson  21 July 2005
A stand alone station could be operated provided it had a system disk and a tape drive. I used mine for 6 months before connecting to a Token Ring. Diskless ones needed an admin machine on a Domain Token Ring. The Aegis/Domain OS did not run over ethernet, but only used ether to connect to the outside world. All hardware was based on the M68K, except for the DN10k. The user and admin manuals were written by illiterate imbeciles who had discovered how to cut-and-paste from randomly selected Unix man pages. TR speeds were claimed to be 1MB/s, the same as thin-wire. I tested several rings and got no better than 50kB/s.203.213.114.48 (talk) 23:48, 5 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Gytha of Wessex

message: I reverted this page to include the information about her sons -- like most royal women of her day, Gytha is best known in terms of her father, her husband, and her sons. Missi 07:26, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Old talk

message: In reponse to the edit by Ghirlandajo, I did not consider the birthdates to be pure speculation at all. There exists some good evidence as to the approximate birthdates of Gytha's children, as detailed below. Gytha and Vladimir were married sometime around 1075, maybe a year or two earlier or later.
Mstislav was their eldest son, and the heir of his father.
Izyaslav was the godson of Oleg of Chernigov (see letter quoted in the Lavrentievsky chronicle sent to Oleg by Vladimir after Izyaslav's death, describing Izyaslav as "my child and yours"). Oleg lived in Chernigov with Vladimir in 1077 and 1078 before rebelling against his uncle Vsevolod in spring 1078. Therefore, for Oleg to be his godfather, Izyaslav was probably born in 1077 or 1078. 
Svyatoslav was probably the second eldest surviving child of Vladimir in 1113, when he was made prince of Smolensk and Pereyaslavl. Izyaslav was already dead then.
Yaropolk was made prince of Pereyaslavl in 1114, and was probably the next in order of birth down from Sviatoslav.
Vyacheslav was the longest lived of Gytha's sons, as he did not die until 1154. He was active from 1097 when he brought reinforcements to Mstislav in Suzdal. Assuming he was as young as twelve then, that would still place his birth around 1085.

Talk:Malignancy

message: OK, I know this was sort of a bold move, so here is my rationale. First, the previous page wasn't sure if it wanted to be a list of dictionary definitions, a description of the concept malignant transformation, or a very poor man's version of the page cancer. Outside of the few non-oncologic diseases which are referred to as "malignant" (which are well-served by the disambig page) there is really no daylight between the term "malignant" and the concept of "cancer", so there is no need for two separate real pages. The word "malignant" is pretty heavily linked in wikipages because it is the sort of technical word that editors like to be able to define through a wikilink. This page now contains a brief definition to serve that purpose, but otherwise sends interested readers to the page cancer, which covers the topic in an extensive and comprehensive manner. I think this is an improvement, but as always, I welcome feedback. -RustavoTalk/Contribs 05:23, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
