Talk:Tantangara Dam

message: Look, it's probably just me missing something, but why is the reservoir listed as "Normal elevation	544 metres (1,785 ft) AHD", whereas the dam is listed as "Elevation at crest	1,230 metres (4,040 ft) AHD" and "Height	45.1 metres (148 ft)" (the surrounding ground is over 1200m, making the first figure seem a bit strange)? Is it possible that the normal elevation has been inadvertently transferred from the nearby Talbingo reservoir (it looks about right for that)? Otherwise, it makes it rather hard to understand how the Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme would work. Or maybe "Normal elevation" is a technical term having some abstruse defintion I don't understand (despite searching, I haven't been able to find one).  Urilarim (talk) 02:08, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Stellar Conquest

message: commie bastards are killing the wikipedia.. what's with the this page lacks notability crap? someone wants to know about where rts games were born at, and you say well, stellar conquest was the first game like that that I played... and so you look it up in wiki and it is demolished because someone decided to go through the wiki wiping many many articles based on minor problems concerning the rules of posting.. there seems to be a faction that is intent on using the rules of the wiki to tear it's very usefulness apart. In fact, I seriously doubt if this criticism will last 1 day before the person who wants to wipe the article out reverts back and wipes my comments.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.242.147.164 (talk) 06:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Women in the Air Force

message: *Pay rates: how much lower than men's? At what point in the Vietnam Era was parity achieved in pay for rank? Did women volunteer in greater numbers when pay parity was reached?
*Volunteering vs. Selective Service: Why did women volunteer for WAF? What kind of woman volunteered? What kind of recruitment efforts were aimed specifically at women? 
*Marriage and motherhood: What happened to a WAF if she became pregnant? What happened if she got married? Was a married woman or a woman with prior children allowed to enlist? (WACs didn't until 1971.) Was there a difference between officers and enlisted in this regard?
*Sex: What kinds of rules were in place to regulate women's sexual activity? In what ways did WAFs get around the regulations?
*Homosexuality: Were there regulations that addressed lesbianism? Were there any WAFs who were 'out'? Were there any women asked to leave due to suspected lesbianism?
*Race: Were there additional limitations placed on African-American recruits? If so, when was equality reached? What about non-white women of other races? Did fighting the male-dominated practices of the USAF give the WAFs an attitude of sisterhood beyond race? Or was there still friction between the races?
*Chain of Command: Since the WAFs were a program within the USAF, was there confusion regarding a woman's chain of command? Was she ever split between contradictory orders from the WAF heirarchy and her male boss in the USAF?
*Numbers serving: How many WAFs through the years? What percentage of total USAF strength through the years? How many WAFs in and around Korean war? In and around Vietnam war? (I heard 600 in 'Nam but have no reference.) 
*Uniform timeline: When did slacks become a part of the uniform? Coveralls? What were the various evolutions in the uniform? What kinds of hats? How many different shoes? Were there regulation purses? What rules regarding jewelry? Hair style? What kind of restrictions did WAFs face while in uniform (such as not entering a bar or chewing gum or smoking)?

Talk:SuccessTech Academy

message: FWIW, there's supposed to be a caption showing under the image but I can't seem to make the Education template behave. I'm not skilled with template edits to see what might need to change; some of the other templates support captions, such as Template:Infobox US school. Anyway, the text is there if you need it. Or if it disappears, the caption text is on the image's description page. I feel the image, if left in the article (it's the only freely usable'gov't source one I could find), must have a caption since it's just of people vs. the campus, school building(s), or school logo/mascot, as is typically used on these type pages. - Ageekgal 22:36, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Show hunter (British)

message: Here's an obvious question:  Do British show hunters show over fences, or just on the flat?  (Jumping is mentioned once, in passing) If they show over fences, what sort of height and spread of obstacles is used?  Also, what are the judging criteria? 
Also, we need to explain "pointed toes" -- I think you are referring to what we in the states call "Daisy cutter" motion, though that too is meaningless out of context...Am I correct that both the US and UK show hunter would be penalized either for too much knee action AND/OR for what some people here call 'bean-shooter' action -- sort of flicking the feet out, locking the knee and landing either flat-footed or heel first?

message: I am completely puzzled by the suggestion that Ezra Pound's version of The Seafarer differs from the original in that he uses frequent alliteration, as the original is an obviously alliterative text in the Anglo Saxon style.

Talk:Expression (computer science)

message: It is reported for the C language that a syntactically correct function call is an expression too unless the function has void return type.
This is incorrect (the citation is a 404 page anyway). In C, and I assume most C-derived languages, a syntactically-correct function call to a function with void return type is a valid expression. The expression has type "void" and evaluates to a valid value, "the void value", and there are special limitations on what you can do with a value of type "void" -- basically you can cast it to void, and just about everything else is disallowed. But it is a valid expression and a valid value. See ISO/IEC 9899:1999 section 6.3.2.2 (void). Hence I am changing the article. --EatMyShortz (talk) 11:47, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

message: The article treats an important basic concept of programming languages, yet it is rather superfluous. A number of improvements suggested:   
* add more alternative definitions (in particular, IEEE dictionary defines statement as a kind of expression) with citations
* more explicitly describe contrast of expression with statement with examples (expressions can be nested - statements cannot)
* give an example of the syntactical units that can be statements or expressions (= vs := in Python for assignment statement and assignment expression)
* provide a BNF/EBNF example of an expression/expression nesting  — Preceding unsigned comment added by P.maistrenko (talk • contribs) 16:56, 12 April 2020 (UTC)

Historians such as James D.

Talk:Ethos Water

message: --Coler32 (talk) 00:21, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm having a little trouble swallowing the criticism section.  The only citation is for a comment by one particular individual who felt personally wronged by Ethos' marketing scheme, and I'm not sure that should be taken as representative of widespread criticism.  Furthermore, the critic is a representative of an organization opposed to ALL bottled water, and not simply Ethos.  As written, the criticm section reads more like an attack ad.
Additionally, I've gone ahead and removed the "Anti-Ethos Water campaign" and "Ethos Spoof Site" website links; the former is shameless rabble-rousing which does not belong in an encyclopedia, and the latter is simply unencyclopedic.  I suspect one or two politically-minded individuals included that information here as an attempt to contribute to the campaign geared toward improving Starbucks' treatment of water shortage issues via increasing charitable contributions from Ethos purchases.  I would remind them that this is an encyclopedia, not a pulpit.  Thank you.Bistromathics (talk) 00:24, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Why the incongruent dates? These 2 datapoints say nothing of the changes between the mid seventies (when we are told this revival started) to the present. A second problem is that durind this period international travel became become more accessable to millions of potential Hajjees.

The Hajj numbers have confounding variables and the time period makes them useless.

Talk:Graph property

message: I do not think that redirecting graph invariant to graph property is a good idea. To me a graph invariant is a mathematical concept (usually a number) associated with
a graph that stays the same (= is invariant) under the graph isomorphism. For instance, the sum of the elementes of the first row of the adjacency matrix is not
a graph invariant (since it depends on the vertex ordering) while the maximal
row sum  (= maximal degree of the graph) is a graph invariant.Tomo (talk) 06:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is resolved now. Radagast3 (talk) 12:01, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I find the current writeup of graph invariants to be poorly written.  A property is said to be a "descriptive characterization of [a] graph."  Lets assume for the moment this does no allow qualitative characterizations.  The article then defines a graph invariant as "an indexed family of graph properties."  This is confusing when one rereads the given example of a graph property ("graph does not have vertices of degree 1").
The given example does not help.  Indeed, I think it's wrong:
For example "the number of vertices" is an indexed family of graph properties "a graph has M edges, M = 0, 1, 2....".
Shouldn't that read:
For example "the number of vertices" is an indexed family of graph properties "a graph has N vertices, N = 0, 1, 2....".
