Talk:DOSEMU

message: Why exactly does the article talk about some DOS programs running poorly on Windows VDM without actually comparing how these programs run on DosEmu in Linux? All it does is mention how some programs run fine on Dosemu (which may also run fine on Windows VDM for all we know). It doesn't make sense. Comparing the Windows VDM to the Linux Dosemue is fine, but a vague statement on problems with the Windows VDM without then going in to how Dosemu compares is silly and reads a bit like an advertisment Nil Einne 17:29, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Emulators that run on Mac OS X 

message: The current article doesn't mention Windows.  Surely the salient point is that dosemu is a Linux solution to running DOS programs.  Comparison with Windows is pointless.
Linux only?  Hopefully this is now explained.
MAC OS X.  There's Bochs; its ubiquitious.  There's also a MAC version of dosbox.  QEMU and other virtual machines will have some capability for running DOS programs; I don't know how well, but probably poorly, since to be honest, DOS emulation sucks on stock Intel-Windows systems.

Talk:List of school districts in Illinois

message: For anyone who wants to do mundane research:
*List of school districts in Illinois is outdated.  School districts are consolidating by the dozen each year now; I see a couple sets of districts to merge already.  Also, some of the school district names are strangely abbreviated, like Peoria Heights.  It would be nice if each county had which Region of Education it's in also, since school district numbers are only unique within an RoE.
*Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/High schools/US/Illinois has errors for sure; for example, it seems to include schools that were specially run whether they've been high schools or not.
Maybe I should repeat this in the discussion for those categories, but it's late and I'm tired and dumb.

thread_title: Nominating for speedy deletion

message: The following piece is deleted. 
:In English essays, a single instance of a forward-looking statement in the conclusion is sometimes useful to indicate a closure to the essay. If the writer intended for the entire essay as his or her forward-looking statement, it is about one's intentions, outlooks, expectations, and reflections.
Even ignoring the fact that this text is of rather strange grammar, I fail to find out how this phrase is related to the text in the external link. The only relevant place in the link is the phrase "A closing thought, a goodbye bow, a forward-looking statement beyond the boundaries of your paper.", which in no way can be a source of the definition of the term. mikka (t) 03:16, 24 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: "Essay"

message: The following piece is deleted:
:The use of gerunds may make a forward-looking statement, as the statement with a gerund usually has a state, or condition, that always exists. In such instances, the state of the related phrase may have existed in the past, but it is uncertain if it always exist in the future, and conversely.

Talk:George Rodney, 1st Baron Rodney

message: RODNEY  Admiral Lord 1719-1792.
He always wrote his name George Bridges Rodney. Because he had noble relatives like the Duke of Chandos whose name was Brydges, spelled with a 'y', many people spell the Admiral's middle name what way. But it is wrong and must be stopped. George Bridges Rodney went to sea in the Royal Navy as a boy and became successively Lieutenant then Captain then Rear Admiral and finally full Admiral.  He is buried with his wife in St Mary's church, Old Alresford, Hampshire where he built a large house.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.3.65 (talk) 18:16, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:John Arbuthnott, 16th Viscount of Arbuthnott

message: Doing general cleanup on all the Arbuthnots. I did not delete any information from this article. I had a few questions, though.
*MA (after Gonville and Caius College) -- does this mean he earned a Master of Arts degree? I assumed that it did.
*Why is he not Sir John? Or should he be? He is a Knight of the Thistle. Perhaps a Viscount does not prepend Sir when Knighted? Just wondering.
*He is a Fellow of the surveyor's society. In the RISC article it says that  members are admitted only by exam, so I assumed he is actually qualified as a surveyor and this is not an honorary membership. It doesn't say what the difference is between a regular Member and a Fellow -- is a Fellow highly qualified, or what? His other Fellowships seem to be honorary.
*It says he has an LL.D, but doesn't say where he got it, no education listed after Gonville and Caius. It's not an honorary LL.D, is it?

Its history is something that people are interested in, and if someone were to read about a game called URAPOPSTAR somewhere else on the internet, I'd like to think that they wouldn't be denied the ability to read about it on an online encylopedia. Isn't that the point of such an encylopedia? To teach people.

Talk:Brad Renfro

message: “Renfro's early death has raised questions as to whether Hollywood's systems for protecting child actors' welfare are adequate for at-risk youth acting in films, since they rely on the child's parent or guardian to supervise them when off set. Many of those who worked on sets with Renfro said his grandmother, with whom he had lived since the age of five, could not control him. In fact, she may have been disincentivized to do so, even to the point of taking him off productions, which she alone had the authority to do, since she was dependent as well on his earnings.”
Raised questions by whom?
Where is the citation or source for this? It reads like an opinion.
