Talk:X2

message: X2 → X2 (movie) and X2 (disambiguation) → X2 - On the model of X1 and X3, which have disambiguation pages at the respective titles. Georgia guy 20:36, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I have added tags to the video games to clarify them a bit.  If it's too much, then someone can remove the tags themselves.  The question is, with disambig pages, is it worth making tags within the summary of each item, or keeping the page cleaner and allowing the user to find it themselves?  (This has been covered before I assume?) If so, I think the X2 (PWC) line could use shortening. Yue.san 10:28, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Introduction to Technical and Professional Communication

message: While editing this page, I noticed that several of the sources did not meet Wikipedia's content requirements, such as outdated or dead links and blog posts. To that end, I plan to add more sources regarding the History section, the official STE website, and resources detailed in the Tools section. I also removed a footnote placed in the reference section and added it into the article's main text. Marshlashl (talk) 18:44, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations and more sources 

message: As part of another round of edits, I made sure to focus on the lead section, as it is important for any article to have a clear and concise opening. To that end, I made some minor grammatical changes and placed more focus on the information pertinent to the rest of the article. I also made various other edits across the page, including adding more hyperlinks in the Writing Rules section, editing the References list to either remove unnecessary sources or add written material back into the main text, and removed repetitive information from the History and Aerospace and Defense Standard sections.

:To 24.15.73.202, I'm reverting your edits because they make no sense. "Atheism is a belief of not having faith in theistic beliefs ..." "A belief of not having faith in" is meaningless, as is a belief in beliefs. Please leave the first sentence as it is, or try to gain consensus on the talk page for a change.

thread_title: Writing

message: ok, since we're talking about dictionary definitions: 
: Most generally received or current; most widely adopted or practiced; also, generally or extensively existing; widespread; prevailing; as, a prevalent observance; prevalent disease.
prevalent is a stronger term than widespread, which is again stronger than common. Atheism is certainly not "prevalent" in all cultures, it is not even common in all cultures, it is arguably in existence in all cultures, but even that is a strong claim, it took me a long time to find anything like an atheist from the European Middle Ages (c.f. the Löffler case in the history section). Anybody who claims that "atheism was prevalent in the Middle Ages" (which would be a corollary of "in all cultures"), is simply bullshitting you. dab (ᛏ) 10:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Would someone look into the origin of the naming of the boulevard "La Cienega"?  It would seem to me that it must have something to do with the fact that there must be old tar pits along that route, because still today (or at least back in December of '1) there were visible oil wells, some still working, a long the street.  By the way if you are visiting the area, and staying in the North Holywood area, it's just about the fastest way to get to the airport.  In fact, it was definitely the  best road for traffic conditions we encountered our entire stay. (wlg) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.88.148.164 (talk • contribs) 21:36, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Optical mark recognition

message: Hi all,
I'm new to editing on wikipedia and especially this Talk section, so forgive me if I'm asking at the wrong place. 
I'm wondering why the links to Open Source OMR Checking software were removed? Many people come to the page in hope to find such free to use software. I've created one too and want to share with other people. When I started working on this project, I had already seen the list(in older version) and wished to feature my software on this wikipedia page, only to find now that the section is removed :(
Can anyone tell if there is any way to mention opensource software on the page? It'd be helpful for everyone.
Here's a github link to the software which I want to add to the wiki page : https://github.com/Udayraj123/OMRChecker

message: I noticed that the nowiki text at the top of the article states "Use American English" (dated Nov. 2019), but the talk page states the article is written in Indian English which was added long before that. Does anyone mind if I remove the no-wiki text stating American English? Netherzone (talk) 14:26, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: A couple of thoughts about that. (1) Even though he was born in India, he moved to the US permanently in 1920 at the age of 27 and became a citizen. (2) All of his writings printed in english are printed in American English. (3) The whole article is writing in American English. (4) All related articles are written in American English.

Even tho the nowiki note use Am-Eng. was placed in 2019 and the  ln-Eng. banner was dated earlier, I just did a history search, and the first instance of the American spelling "center" is from 2 January 2005.

Talk:Seesaw

message: why is it called see-saw? present-past tense of the verb see?
From The Online Etymology Dictionary:
:seesaw
:1640, in see-saw-sacke a downe, words in a rhythmic jingle used by children and repetitive motion workers, probably imitative of the rhythmic back-and-forth motion of sawyers working a two-man saw over wood or stone (see saw). Ref. to a game of going up and down on a balanced plank is recorded from 1704; fig. sense is from 1714. Applied from 1824 to the plank arranged for the game. The verb is from 1712.
 
In other words, it seems to be from a child's word game, probably a play on the word "saw" for a two-man saw. --Andrew 05:30, Apr 16, 2005 (UTC)
Does anyone know anything about the history of the see-saw? 
Piotr
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.136.22.4 (talk • contribs) 
US Patent No. 116,502 entitled "See Saw" issued June 27, 1871.  The named inventor is Mrs. S.E. Saul.  Whereas typical modern see saws are supported from a hinge below the main plank, Mrs. Sauls' device is supported from above by a rope, similar to modern teeter totters.  Perhaps Mrs. Saul is the missing link, and the "see saw" name is a play on the inventor's name.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.232.58.97 (talk) 22:18, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

message: I've noticed in the past few years that just about every park, no scratch that, every park that I have been to which had a see-saw has now swapped them out for a newer safer see-saw-like thing. An example of the new teeter-totter is in the foreground of this photo []. Are "old-school" see-saw's being removed all over or is it just something in my area. I'm thinking that injuries have driven up the cost of liability insurance and the parks are replacing them

Talk:Terri Schiavo case/Archive 22

message: In furtherance of compromise and clarity, I'd like to suggest the following for the summary of the medmal case:
:In 1992, Michael Schiavo, on behalf of Terri Schiavo and himself, brought a medical malpractice lawsuit against the obstetrician who had treated Terri Schiavo for infertility, claiming that the doctor's failure to diagnose Terri Schiavo's eating disorder caused her current condition.  At the conclusion of the trial, the jury found that Terri Schiavo was bulimic and that the obstetrician's failure to diagnose this condition caused her hypokalemia and subsequent cardiac arrest.  While up on appeal, the case settled in January 1993 and provided that Terri Schiavo receive $750,000 (economic damages) and Michael Schiavo receive $300,000 (loss of consortium).  The court placed Terri Schiavo's award in a trust fund, which was controlled by a third party and covered her medical and legal expenses.
::In fact the amounts where $700,000 (not $750,000) and $300,000 respectively. Terri's amount was for damages and Michael's amount was "for loss of consortium." re: http://abstractappeal.com/schiavo/trialctorder02-00.pdf fourth paragraph of page two. Wjbean 12:19, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
