thread_title:  Sorenson License

message: hello, I've seen that there was a redirection from Sorenson_Spark to Sorenson_codec. The Sorenson_codec page contains information about Sorenson Video Quantizer codec, which is not really related to Sorenson spark. I mean except the first part of its name. I think it's a bit confusing. Sorenson spark is a codec which is very close to H.263, Sorenson Video Quantizer 1 (SVQ1) is a codec of its own which can hardly be compared to any other codec and Sorenson Video Quantizer 3 (SVQ3) is a codec which can be compared to H.264.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Japan/Districts and municipalities/Archive 1

message: How to title the page?
Although all cities are unique in the Japanese writing system, some are identical in Romaji: Kashima (鹿島), Saga and Kashima (鹿嶋), Ibaraki. So "{city}" is inappropriate. "{city}, {prefecture}" is better.
A lot of towns and villages have the same name ones, but as far as I know, they are unique in a prefecture. So "{town}, {prefecture}" and "{village}, {prefecture}" are reasonable. But towns and villages directly belong to a country (郡), not a prefecture. -- Nanshu
:You would be surprised by the fact that there are two districts that have exactly the same Chinese characters and reading. I have no idea how to handle them.

thread_title:  Structure 

message: I am strongly against mandatory use of district names for naming towns and villages. There is no fundamental diffrence among cities, towns, and villages. Towns and villages naturally promote to cities when their population grow. A prefecture having more than one town or village of the same name are rare cases. As far as I know, they are Azuma in Nagano and Sanwa in Hiroshima. And I think such cases will increse in no possibilities.
Admittedly, in the past, districts subsidized towns and villages but not cities, however, districts lose administrative function decades ago. Districts continue to serve for postal adressing, but many people today tend to omit district names from their addresses.
My proposal: {Town or Village name, Prefecture name} and insert District name only if need.
:Agreed. Let's just go creating articles with this scheme first. If we got a problem, then we can fix it. -- Taku 06:31, Feb 6, 2004 (UTC)

message: The mantra of medical scientism is randomized clinical trials, double-blind, peer reviewed, studies published in respectable journals. Epidemiological research is not the randomized clinical trials and double-blind stuff that drug research is made of. 
If any one element of this mantra is missing, then that published research study is classified as being invalid research. This kind of decision is made quite arbitrarily by the medical scientism people.  And, their mantra clearly renders the vast majority of all published health research invalid and virtual quackery by implication.
The primary treatment method of medicine is medication.  And, their mantra is clearly designed for drug testing.  So, forcing a drug testing paradigm upon other kinds of health research is patently absurd.  Unfortunately, people like RK don't see it that way.
This phenomenon of medical scientism is quite real because it dominates all science newsgroups, mailing lists and of course the health related articles in Wikipedia.-- Mr-Natural-Health 21:03, 16 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this page be merged into Province of West Prussia, with that page then renamed to "West Prussia"? It seems that there was a previous plan to name all provinces of the Kingdom of Prussia by "Province of ...", yet that project fizzled out. That has caused this situation with "West Prussia" and "Province of West Prussia". The province pre-WWI is by far the more commonly sought-for usage of "West Prussia". There really does not seem to be enough information at West Prussia to warrant its own article, let alone relegating the more important usage to "Province of West Prussia".

thread_title:  Article name 

message: Further investigation indicates to me that this article should be renamed again. According to :de:Westpreußen,  the Province of West Prussia was divided in 1815 into the Regierungsbezirke Danzig and Marienwerder, the latter of which contained Kreis Marienwerder and Kwidzyn. While most of West Prussia became part of Poland, Kreis Marienwerder was included in the Province of East Prussia; Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder was renamed Regierungsbezirk Westpreußen (1922). On January 1 1939 Kreis Marienwerder was renamed Landkreis Marienwerder. On October 26 after the invasion of Poland, it became part of what would later be known as Danzig-West Prussia, and was renamed from Regierungsbezirk Westpreußen to Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder.
The style guide recommends that Regierungsbezirk be translated as "government region", instead of district (Kreis). Most Regierungsbezirke at :Category:Regierungsbezirk and :Category:Former Regierungsbezirk are disambiguated when necessary with the addition of "(region)", although a few have "(administrative region)". West Prussia (region) or West Prussia (administrative region) would be better than the current title. Because the Regierungsbezirk started and ended as "Regierungsbezirk Marienwerder", however, Marienwerder (region) would be the best title, IMO. Olessi 16:49, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
