message: I predict the main achievement of this project will be to "Inconviniance/Discourage/Exterminate!" contributors. Our most controvertial articles are some of our most active - "good-willed" editors and, very importantly, anons will not be able to participate. The cost is certainly not worth any advantages. --Oldak Quill 17:04, 29 July 2005 (UTC)

message: Hello. The WikiProject Council has recently updated the Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Directory.  This new directory includes a variety of categories and subcategories which will, with luck, potentially draw new members to the projects who are interested in those specific subjects. Please review the directory and make any changes to the entries for your project that you see fit. There is also a directory of portals, at User:B2T2/Portal, listing all the existing portals. Feel free to add any of them to the portals or comments section of your entries in the directory. The three columns regarding assessment, peer review, and collaboration are included in the directory for both the use of the projects themselves and for that of others. Having such departments will allow a project to more quickly and easily identify its most important articles and its articles in greatest need of improvement. If you have not already done so, please consider whether your project would benefit from having departments which deal in these matters. It is my hope that all the changes to the directory can be finished by the first of next month. Please feel free to make any changes you see fit to the entries for your project before then. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you.   B2T2 14:19, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors. Thank you for your attention.  Badbilltucker 19:32, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Rogue Valley is okay because it is a valley. However, there is no "Valley AVA", so Rogue Valley AVA falls under WP:PTM. Similarly, if Rogue Valley were the name of a town, it would also be a partial match only. At least, that's the way I interpret the guidelines. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:34, 19 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I won't revert you but I do think you should know that the AVA is sometimes known shorthanded as the Rogue (i.e. "I've had a Rogue Pinot" or "We got some Rogue Syrah coming in") so its inclusion, according to WP:DAB here should be non-controversial. Not everyone who is searching for "Rogue wine" from this AVA will necessarily know that the proper name is the "Rogue Valley AVA". The whole reason that DAB pages exist is "for the benefit of the readers". I suppose we could make a redirect out of Rogue (wine) to the AVA and link that here if we want to take WP:PTM to its most literal interpretation but that seems a bit unnecessary when our readers are just as well served with a direct link to the AVA.

message: Okay, finished the big edit thing.  The "external links" is mostly profiles by other sites, but I don't know what else would go there.  It includes the ToffeeWeb article; I figured it was only fair ;-)
I reckon it summarises his career fairly well, but there's barely any bio information.  I'm also not sure about the picture; I don't know if it perfectly qualifies under fair use as a "promotional photo".  I mean, it is a promo photo, but it's probably not posed (looks like an in-game photo with background cropped out).  If that pic isn't acceptable, there's a photo here and another here, both of which almost certainly qualify.

replies: text: from Market capitalization "Market capitalization/capitalisation (often market cap) is a measurement of size of a business enterprise (corporation) equal to the share price times the number of shares outstanding of a public company. As owning stock represents ownership of the company, including all its equity, capitalization could represent the public opinion of a company's net worth and is a determining factor in stock valuation. Likewise".  I just interpreted that to mean total equity is the same as market capitalization which is the same as market value.  there isn't a way to call it market value, and it's not assets so I just assumed it is the same a total equity (the total value of all the shares (equity) that everyone has in the company)Grmike (talk) 23:03, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

I have found conflicting reports on some details such as the number injured, the floor he fell from and the name of the police chief, but for the most part the agreed facts are there. - Dr Haggis - Talk 18:41, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As long as the witness and chief's background are mentioned, you can put in what you want, I'm more concerned with deletions than insertions.  If the bombings are brought into it, it should be told that these bombings were done by fascists with connections to Propaganda Due and all of that.

Talk:The Daily Cardinal

message: In the first paragraph, it said The Daily Cardinal is financially independent.  This is untrue as they are supported financially through the University of Wisconsin.  So, I took out the “financially independent” phrase.
:That is not correct. Neither The Cardinal nor The Herald are financially supported by the University and both gain 100% of their revenue from advertising. The location of The Cardinal's office being within the University's property (in Vilas Hall) is a source of confusion, but it is explained by the fact that the land on which Vilas Hall sits was originally owned by The Cardinal, and part of the agreement to sell it to the University was that The Cardinal would be able to keep its office in the building, rent-free, indefinitely. I will be reverting your edit. --DanyaRomulus 00:30, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Most of the history section is adapted from the Cardinal's own history page at . It's not copied verbatim since that page is obviously not neutral, but the similarities are clear enough. I'm sending a request to the editor in chief for permission to use it; I don't expect any problems. I know the Cardinal's in-house stylebook has a much better history write-up than the one that's published online, so I'll try to get that incorporated, too. --Rob Kennedy 20:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The list isn't entirely false. I think the Cardinal was indeed the first Wisconsin paper to have a Web site. The paper might have been the first in a certain region to be printed on an offset press, but probably not the first globally. I have my doubts about the Truman-victory claim. I'll try to get some more information. --Rob Kennedy 20:53, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it proper to say the paper "employs" over 200 students when it doesn't pay the vast majority of its staff, including its editor in chief? Since most student papers do pay these days (the Cardinal apparently can't afford to), this comes off as awfully deceptive. Is there a number for how many people actually do get paid?

thread_title:  Satellite television radio 

message: I found this article while searching Google for something apparently different, which used to be called a TV radio. This is specifically what I am looking for:
* A portable AM/FM radio receiver, which includes a digital decoder for playing only the audio portion of a free over-the-air, local TV broadcast station.
We used to have access to this very easily, since the old analog television broadcasts put audio into a separate but nearby frequency band, tunable by a portable FM radio.
Now this is much more difficult to achieve, since digital audio and video are combined into a single MPEG stream which must be decoded to recover the audio portion.
I do not know if the current MPEG decoder technology is sufficiently well developed to be able to run for hours off of batteries like the previous TV radios.
Also some handling is needed for separating subchannels (*.1 *.2 *.3, etc), where a station broadcasts multiple programs by subdiving their overall channel bandwidth.
