Talk:Chinese Singaporean Community

message: I think some parts of this articles are not really NPOV, or even factually accurate, I quote a part of the text from the section headered "Language"
The usage of English is also common in the working society, and all students are required to master English as their master subject and speak only Mandarin in class. Singlish is also commonly used among the Lower-class Chinese notably among the contractors and blue-collar job workers. English is the first language among most Christians, as they attend church services in the English language.

thread_title:  Here are some references 

message: The https://www.etsi.org/ website seems to have removed almost all references to the name "European Telecommunications Standards Institute" and now references the organization solely as as "ETSI" (with a few exceptions). It seems perhaps the organization is changing it's name to an orphan initialism. I speculate that this might be to remove an implied limitation on the scope of its standards to telecommunications, or less likely, to Europe. In any case, I can't find a press release or other documentation of the name change, but wanted to document that the organization should probably be referred to simply as "ETSI" rather than "European Telecommunications Standards Institute" as the WP:COMMONNAME. It seems troublesome to change this article without having better sources than archived about pages on ETSI's website. Daask (talk) 18:15, 21 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed it does seem like they're washed away where the acronym came from, though it's still mentioned once on their about page https://www.etsi.org/about , which seems like the expanded name was only mentioned in 1989 which seems highly unlikely.

Talk:Tales (video game series)

message: What about the Narikiri Dungeon games for "Tales of the World"? The first was a GB game.. it was kinda weak, IMO. But ND2 (for the GBA) had most of the party characters from ToP/ToE and I think ToD (haven't played this, so I'm not sure) making cameo appearances... I think it was somewhere about 20 or 25 different characters in total.
Since the game was based on collecting different suits to turn into different characters (think transformation masks in LoZ:Majora's Mask.. there were approx 200 suits, "gotta catch 'em all"-style), and you could earn the suits of all the cameos and play as them (the battle music even changed to the same as from the game the character came form, and you got to use their trademark moves).
Those games should be added to this list, but I don't really know their release dates or much about them (I had to play only a partially-translated ND2, but it still quite fun; recommended).

Talk:Neapolitan sauce

message: (separate) SmackBot put an "Mergeto" tag on  Naporitan  article and directed discussion to here. I think the Neapolitan sauce and Japanese Naporitan are completely different. Japanese Naporitan was "made in Japan" food and it is a fried spaghetti with Ketchup originally. The cooking style is very different from common Tomato based pastas in western countries. And the spelling is completely different. If merged, it would mislead western people who don't really know what Japanese Naporitan is (it is not stirred pasta with sauce). Will you merge it with Ketchup article? That is weird, too. I think this Neapolitan sauce article should be left singularly as other Sauce articles, such as Arrabbiata sauce, Matriciana sauce, Puttanesca sauce, Tomato sauce, etc. -211.129.159.33 (talk) 09:39, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

message: Neapolitan sauce is the collective name given (outside Italy, particularly in the U.S.) to various basic tomato-based sauces derived from Italian cuisine, often served over pasta and then sprinkled with grated Parmesan cheese.
How is "Neapolitan sauce" distinct from the more generic "tomato sauce" or "spaghetti sauce"?  It seems like just about any kind of spaghetti sauce could be referred to as "Neapolitan sauce from this definition.  If it's just a "catch all" term for generic tomato sauce, does it really need its own article? CES (talk) 18:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:IBM Airline Control Program

message: After a big edit of MVS I concluded that the whole set of articles about IBM mainframe operating systems from System/360 onwards needed to be re-structured to  minimise overlap and to make clearer the evolutionary relationships between these operating systems (notably in memory management, which is historically a major distinguishing feature). There is already some support for this proposal. Please add comments at Talk: MVS. Philcha 23:56, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Restructure of articles about IBM mainframe operating systems

message: As part of the proposed restructure of articles on IBM mainframe operating systems (above), I've rewritten Job Control Language to: cover IBM's DOS/360 and its descendants as well as OS/360 and its descendants; focus more on the facilities and flavour of the 2 JCLs rather than on details of  some statement types and some of their options. Please comment in Talk: Job Control Language. I'd be particulary grateful for more info on DOS/360 and its descendants, especially after 1980 - I only used DOS JCL a handful of times, and only in the late 1970s. Anything about the pre-DOS System/360 operating systems would also be appreciated. 
The rewrite does not currently take account of Truthanado's point in Talk: Job Control Language about use of "JCL" by computer suppliers other than IBM, which may entail further restructuring of articles about JCLs. Philcha 00:56, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
