Talk:Spidron

message: I went and reverted a page move for the following two reasons
#The page move was never discussed on the talk page nor a reason given as to why the page should be moved
#Half of this article is about the geometric figure spidron while the other half is about the sci-fi character.  They both tie together as to the origins of the name spidron, what it really means, and how it was later used as the name for the sci-fi alien.
I also feel splitting the article ionto two, one for the geometric data and the other for the sci-fi character, would be a bad idea.  The article is too too short to make it even shorted by splitting it. -Husnock 21:50, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: The image implies both a symmetry and an infinite number of triangles which the text seems not to, and that seems slightly confusing.  In computer graphics, and specifically OpenGL, these are called simply, triangle strips.  linas 00:03, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Dessert

message: Dessert 27.34.47.142 (talk) 10:58, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Desserts 

message: I can't view the OED citation. The Vaughan citation doesn't mention the word. 
The NYT citation is the only one that supports the "désservir" etymology, but not having the Krondl book to hand, I have no way to tell what he's based that claim on. That NYT article quotes Krondl as saying: "“The French noun dessert originates with the verb desservir, or un-serve". But I believe the French verb should have an accent aigue, thus: "désservir". This discrepancy renders the NYT or Krondl claim questionable; if your French orthography is incorrect, then your etymological claims are also open to question.
I've found both these words in searches, both with and without the accent. I don't know which is the correct orthography.
Who removed the accent? The NYT reviewer, or Krondl? Does the French word for "dessert" have an accent, or not? If it does, then the NYT review is pretty useless as a source.
FWIW, My Concise Oxford English Dictionary (7th edition) confirms desservir (but with no accent). French wikipedia has "dessert" and "desservir" without accents. Perhaps some native French speaker could clarify, and provide a better citation?

Talk:Orangelo

message: I removed this bit: and famous exclamation of the nemesis of Mr Lardtree, the pollidge-eating owner of weeb, because I have absolutely no idea what it's about.  If someone has a little more context to add to it, have a ball.  Joyous 22:53, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
:That is curious. The only "Mr Lardtree" I've found is one of the many worm characters in the video-game series Worms — but some of those notably are named after pre-existing characters or people, e.g. "Hannibal", "Samson", "Darth", "The Shatner", "Enya" (name list from a fandom site). I have not played the games myself to know whether any such nemesis of this Mr Lardtree is given to uttering "Orangelo!" — but as this blogger notes, the word (along with its variant "Horangelo") has a meaning other than fruit: "Hour of the Angelus" (The Angelus is a Catholic prayer which is said three times a day.) It’s a rare Italian name as well as a Hispanic one, and probably was originally given to babies who popped out while the Angelus bell was ringing and everyone was praying.... This has led to some controversy, as the name has been misheard as "Orangejello" thus naming a baby after food; the similar mishearing of the existing Italian names "Limongello/Lemongello" has led to a spurious claim of urban legend. Perhaps a disambiguation page is in order. – •Raven  .talk 17:37, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Early Entrance Program (CSU)

message: I went in and added the Notable Alumni page, but will leave it up to others to fill it in beyond the two that I could think of off the top of my head. Looks like someone previously tried to add citations to the ACT bit, but did it incorrectly? I added 'citation needed' tags to the parts that were pointing to nothing, and added some proper citations to the content.
In general, though, the whole thing is too long in my opinion, and the language is indeed not encyclopedic/full of NPOV issues. Application section doesn't need so many sections, can be condensed down to a paragraph of short description with links to actual content. EEPster experience is certainly not objective, if there aren't citations (e.g. to the CSULA webpage) then those should be taken down. I'll leave this here for a bit and see if it ruffles feathers, if not I'll come back at some point and edit the page down.
Citation tag can probably be removed now? -

message: OH ! and is all of the application process confidential strictly, or are we allowed to expound ?
Well thanks for working with me on the EEP's article
there is no "privacy agreement" and those info are public knowledge.
Although I like the page with the link to the "other" eep program, I think typing the words "early entrance program" should automatically direct the user to this page, because EEP is the one and the best program of its kind!
Not to interrupt (you guys are writin a nice article, wish I could write something like this for the HGM one), but in response to the above comment, if an issue arises because two different entities happen to have the same name, the disambiguation page should come first, not one or the other.  (No matter how good you think it is, because a Google search for 'early entrance program' (http://www.google.com/search?q=early+entrance+program) does link the University of Washington EEP first, heh. *hint hint* Google bomb anyone? :D )

thread_title: 22 killed

message: Can someone supply an eternal source for this claim:  "By the afternoon of the 16th of May, the opposition was halfway towards winning a majority in the national parliament with only about a third of the constituencies reporting complete results."
I think it should also be mentioned that from the start the opposition had been expected to do much better in the cities than in the countryside, and that early results were largely from urban areas.  No opposition supporters I spoke with at the time expected their early lead to persist once the rural results came in.
I am not a pro-government hack and welcome honest attempts from all sides to clarify the facts.  But up to now I've found most online coverage outside Ethiopia a) biased in favor of the CUD and b) poorly supported by impartial sources.  This is important disputed history and what's most needed is evidence.

thread_title:  Aimbot Does Not Equal Auto-Aim 

message: I seriously doubt Stoogebot uses a real proxy server or man in the middle attack.. both of those would imply a third host between the player's computer and the quake server. I'm guessing that what the section meant was that Stoogebot was a proxy-based aimbot. Also, there's no section for proxy-based aimbots, which are possibly the most common. Another name for proxy-based might be hooking aimbot. This is what hooking aimbot would generally be taken to mean, a proxy-based aimbot, rather than the client hooking aimbot mentioned in the article that actually modifies the client in some way. A normal hooking aimbot doesn't, but acts by proxy and uses reverse engineering to intercept and send messages that would normally pass between the client and the game server (running on the player's computer, not some proxy server).
