message: Comment about Rich Farmbrough edits
By using the full name of the month instead of the first 3 letters of the month, you have destroyed the one line per entry format of the table. Making the boxes larger than one line may not matter, but I think it makes the table less satisfactory.
More seriously by replacing 1st by first before titles, you have broken some of the links. This I have changed back.

thread_title:  I am betting this isn't currently up to date; any takers? 

message: It seems to me the article is correct in the way it describes the moon's changing declination but goes a bit wrong when it relates this to the altitude over the horizon. The moon moves above and below the horizon every 24 hours. What we are talking about is its highest altitude (i.e. when it is culminating due south on the observer's meridian). I have edited the article (unfortunately making it a bit more complicated).
For my taste, the article concentrates too much on the instants of standstill although this may interest some present day observers, I don't know. What would have interested neolithic folk in relation to their positioning of megaliths would be the azimuth (compass direction) of moonrise and moonset. For example, around the general time of major standstill moonrise and moonset can reach as far towards the north (northeast and northwest) as possible. I have added a section showing figures for a particular latitude (55°, the latitude chosen by Thom).
However, wait for corrections from experts! Thincat (talk) 14:34, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Declination and altitude 

message: This article should make it clear in the lead what it is talking about.  As Ruggles (Astronomy in Prehistoric Britain and Ireland, p. 36) points out, the term Lunar standstill is ambiguous, sometimes being used to refer to the time when the lunar swing is widest or narrowest, sometimes to refer to the limiting declinations themselves.  In fact, there are two postitional extrema here, the monthly extreme of the moon's motion (which has been called the lunistice by analogy to the solstice) and the extreme values of the position of the lunistices, which it reaches every 18.61 years.  Ruggles proposed calling these long term extrema the "major standstill limits" and "minor standstill limits."  Thom, on the other hand (Megalithic Lunar Observatories, pp. 18-19) appeared to use the term "limits" to refer to the monthly extrema of the lunar declination, while he used the terms major and minor standstill for the time when the limits are at the extremes of the 18.61 year cycle.
Both Ruggles and Thom use the term standstill to refer to a time, and I suggest that is a point to start the clarification. I'll let this suggestion sit here for comments before beginning to edit.  SteveMcCluskey (talk) 15:29, 27 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bit Rate / Resolution? 

message: Many HP laptop buyers over the past few years would have a few choicer (though not usable in the presence of ladies) words to describe this "service". One only needs to Google "vongo removal" to get a flavor for the unbelievable man-hours and resources wasted in attempts to remove this pestilence from HP products. More than a few have described it as one of the few legitimate viruses since it appears to be embedded in system files and is very difficult to get rid of permanently. For example, even after removing it via the usual instructions, creating a new user on the machine will usually resurrect it with varying results ranging from complete re-installation to endless windows trying to find the installation files. Some just returned the HP computer and bought something else. All of these statements are supported in links on the first page of results from the aforementioned Google search if anyone is interested to seek them; as well as from my own personal experience as I am still trying to root out the system files that resurrect this &#*@ program every time I add another grandchild (ie, user) to the laptop. Grrr. If I had the money I used to have, I'd go back to Dell in a heartbeat. A sad comment to make about a machine that has otherwise been faultless and highly commendable.

There are two disambiguation pages for CLS/cls in Wikipedia which seem to be the result of case sensitivity.

I could just add my entry to both pages but that seems like just compounding the problem.

Talk:Qualitative marketing research

message: "Qualitative research methods are used primarily as a prelude to quantitative research."
To whoever wrote this:  it is wrong.  Qualitative research methods exist in their own right as the most appropriate methodologies for addressing certain research questions.  They complement quantitative research, as also quantitative research can be used to complement qualitative research tools.
(this comment is unsigned)
-------------------
Whoever wanted to merge Qualitative Market Research with the main qualitative research page doesn't know much about this topic. Even a cursory look at the two topics shows huge differences. The main Qualitative Research page mostly talks about academic qualitative research, with an emphasis on theory.
There, it is claimed that qualitative research helps gain a "deeper" understanding, but for market research, this isn't necessarily the case. Often it's to find out something very simple, (such as brand image) which is hard to do with a quant approach.
They should be kept separate. If they are merged (which I oppose), a big distinction should be drawn between academic and market research, because they are very different animals.

message: The longer I worked on the EB64 topic the more I realized that this scope is really the "Development of Mother 3" and not the N64 game. The article's scope, as is, cuts off abruptly with the cancellation of the game. The character, story, ideas of M3 (EB64) is carried into the later M3, which was just one more platform shift after going from SNES to 64DD to N64 (to GBA). In fact the development's story is the same. And the coup de grace: throughout the whole discussion of EB64, the game was never more than announced under the English title. Anyway, this is a long way of saying that after making my way through rewriting our articles on the series, I'm realizing that the story of EB64's development is really the story of M3's development instead. I think it's a better choice to redirect EB64 to a chapter of the larger Development of Mother 3. czar ♔ 17:26, 1 September 2014 (UTC)

As an IT professional, I perform data mapping without understanding why it is called "mapping" and this bothers me.  After a little bit of investigation on Wikipedia, I gather that the term map/mapping will make more sense if I understand its use in some branch of higher mathematics; evidently it has little in common with cartography.  Can't we agree on an alternative term which more people will understand intuitively, like maybe data routing?
