Talk:Backjumping

message: Is this the same thing as nonchronological or dependency-directed backtracking?
:They are related, though they have slightly different  nuances. As far as I can recall, the main difference is in how they record the relations between the current and previous variables in order to backtrack. Diego (talk) 05:46, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Applications

message: This really needs cleaning up. Some of the explanations here are very complicated - at least, moreso than they need to be. I'd also question the bit which says that conflict-directed backtracking was invented in 1993. I'm almost certain this stuff has been around since the 1970s.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.189.4.43 (talk) 16:28, 3 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Do you have some references, or at least some idea of which field had something similar? Prosser 93 is well known as a seminal work in the context of CSPs. I don't doubt similar ideas were tried earlier, but I don't know any earlier paper where problems were described in the abstract CSP form and direct conflicts were recorded during search. Also, it might be that the technique you know was slightly different than Prosser's, which is the one giving its name to CBJ. Diego (talk) 19:49, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Bartle Bull

message: I don´t think he was born in 1939. According to his website he is born in 1970: http://www.bartlebull.com/about.html I don´t think he has published any novels either. Maybe there are two or more Bartle Bulls out there.
And maybe I broke some wikipedia rules by writing this. In that case: Sorry  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.157.249.141 (talk) 18:37, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Widow's Son

message: I changed this redirect page to point to the definition of Hiram Abiff (the widow's son). Although i respect the intent of the creator of this page, the original redirect to the article on "The Solomon Key" - a future potential novel that doesn't use the phrase (widow's son)in either the title or in the article itself seemed confusing to me when i was searching the history of the phrase itself. 
There is also another redirect link called "Widow's Son: The Solomon Key" that i did not change
To preserve the intent, I added a disambuguation link at the top of Hiram Abiff to point directly to The solomon Key so that people searching for that novel could easily find it with just 1 additional click. 
I did not see the use in creating an entire disambuguation page for this entry; feel free to do so if you are so inclined!

Talk:Überetsch Railway

message: According to a quick google search, "Oltradige railroad" is the most common name in English:
*oltradige railroad 176
*überetsch railroad 0
*transatesina 7
*überetscher bahn 2
*oltradige railway 1
*überetsch railway 1
Why was the page moved to this title?--Supparluca 14:35, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: if you look at the results of your 1st search you will see, that they are all copies from the old wikipedia article i.e.     , so these 176 have no value. The German name was: "Überetscher Bahn" a search for which in English returns 0 usable results , the Italian name was Ferrovia Bolzano-Caldaro, with also 0 results in English  or Ferrovia Elettrica Transatesina also 0 English results  - as the Überetsch consists of the comuni of Kaltern and Eppan (93,06% German and 87,16% German) and as you made it clear today, we must be consistent in applying the naming convention for places: therefore Überetsch -> Überetscher Bahn. In short: I think this was a uncontroversial move. --noclador (talk) 15:55, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

text: .Could you sort out all the self-reference to Wikipedia in case of "Oltradige railroad"? Because 4 out of the first 4 are actually mirroring this very same WP article, making them irrelevant to a search. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 19:02, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Robot rights

message: Well, perhaps it was a little too early to create this article. Another source:  estimates this issue to become really important first in a couple of decades. As Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball, it might be better to delete this article for now, and create it anew when that time has come. Mikael Häggström 09:46, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, I think it should be given a chance. Not only because the text most suspected as hoax is removed, but also: even if doesn't fit with being linked to human rights, I still think it is more than worth to be linked with List of basic robotics topics, since I find it at least as important as e.g. articles about robots in fiction. After all, it is undoubtly a subject which will grow very important in a not too far future. We need to prepare already. Finally, I wouldn't be surprised if electronic minds already search the Internet. Even Internet itself has the structure of a brain - just the least program to avail it to make decisions would make it extremely intelligent. And what article in the whole world seems the most important for a robot to read? I bet it's this one. Wikipedia should be free to all and benefit all, and I think that should include robots as well. After all, even the one's who don't agree with me, and don't want to bother about robot rights are free not to bother with it. But I don't see the point of impeding for not only robots, but also for the human beings who believes that robots may one day be able to live just as dignified as any human beings, and should be treated with equal love and support to the same degree. In short, I don't see why this article should be proposed for deletion again. Mikael Häggström 16:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kumakatok

message: Hm. This seems to bring us to a type of myth that's right in between the traditional legend and the urban legend. I'm not even sure where to categorize it. Very interesting, though. Realistically, there should be many many different legends and legendary creatures of this type. Any idea where, geographically, this legend came from?  
It fits in a larger group of "sundo" myths whose most common variations include dead relatives arriving to pick up the dying (seen only by those dying themselves, and possibly explained as the brain shutting down and bringing up random memories), and legends of phantom ships or phantom trains.  These stories, though, are very rarely documented as the traditional myths have "taken all the glory".  Hm. Your source material must be a treasure trove of such legends, if it captured something like this.Alternativity 10:14, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Hulu Langat District

message: I am somewhat at lost here. What is the meaning of District seat? As far as I know and I am from Hulu Langat, the capital of Hulu Langat is the town of Kajang, whereas the town of Bandar Baru Bangi is merely an administrative centre. In fact there are still many federal agencies with headquarters in Kajang namely the police force, the education office, immigration and national regisration department (just to name a few). Most of the state agencies on the other hand have already moved to B. B. Bangi. The issue here is analogous to Kuala Lumpur still the capital of Malaysia, whereas Putrajaya as merely an administrative centre. I might put a sentence or two in the article to show my point later. --Tikar aurum (talk) 22:12, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur 2018 

message: I propose that FA Cup Third-fourth place matches be merged into FA Cup semi-finals. The 3/4 is just a stub covering five matches, and as a concept there is little to be said for it other than what's already there there. It is an offshoot of the semi-finals, and information can easily be accommodated there. More people would probably read it there too, as the semis currently has 10 times the readers of the 3/4. And although OtherStuffExists, no other football competition has a topic of this nature. I think the semis article is also an outlier in that regard and I'm aware of a fairly recent move to delete it – adding this information would strengthen the case to retain it IMO.

Talk:Theodore Watts-Dunton

message: Having seen (via Google Earth, what an age we live in) 'The Pines, Putney' I now understand why Beerbohm called his reminiscence 'No. 2'. It was a semi-detached dwelling, located at Number 11, and Watts and his household occupied the right-hand half. The address, then, would today be 'The Pines', 2/11 Putney Hill, Putney, SW15 6BA. Watts-Dunton was rather like Dr Johnson in his giving house-room to the needy, whatever the nature of their need. However did they all fit into that modest accommodation?

replies: text: Hi - Yes, the start date of the fonds is 1818. The earliest file in the fonds is in the series PAPIERS PERSONNELS ET DE FAMILLE (Personal and family papers) in a file called Famille Casgrain - souvenirs. The date range of the file is 1818-1937. The file is located in volume 10, file 3. This specific series contains a number of files that were created before Thérèse Casgrain's time, but since she held those records as part of her own fonds, they have been organized as a series within the fonds. 1818-1981 are the outside dates of the material, although the fonds is predominantly 1900s-1981.Archyvette (talk) 12:27, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
