message: This link International GNSS Service was removed with the comment "rm spam" - even though this service is known by the acronym "IGS".  Formerly it was known as the International GPS Service and therefore also had the acronym "IGS".  I think the entry should stay, either pointing to a redlink or to this external link.  Thoughts?
Yes, IGS is definitely not spam. A redlink is not very useful, but the external homepage is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.75.96.16 (talk) 12:42, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Courante

message: The article currently states that, "Modern usage will sometimes use the different spellings to distinguish types of courante (Italian spelling for the Italian dance, etc.), but in the original sources spellings were inconsistent." However, according to my Barenreiter Urtext sheet music for the French Suites (which includes brief sections about each dance), Bach did differentiate between the courante and corrente in the partitas of the first part of his Klavierübung, using courante for the French style and corrente for the Italian style. If this is correct (and I generally trust Barenreiter), then the spelling differentiation isn't exclusively modern; there is at least one baroque source which makes use of it. Thus, if no one has any objections, I will change this part of the article appropriately. JeanneShade (talk) 23:25, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Courante vs Corrente 

message: Both examples of courant rythm are basically the same (the only difference being the added accents in the second example). One of the examples should, in my opinion, be substituted with a different example or be deleted.
Joris Peters (talk) 08:44, 12 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, this is puzzling. Even the added accents only mark the regular metrical accents already present in the notation of the second bar; accents in the first bar would be more instructive. These two examples were added on 11 February 2010 in this edit by User:Hyacinth. Both are cited to the same book, on the same page.

Talk:Diaspora politics in the United States

message: The article as it stands deals mainly with ethnic diasporas in the United States, and the quoted theory is visibly derived from US case studies. The 'homeland' cases are those which are important for US foreign policy, again reflecting a bias in US diaspora studies. In addition, the article takes terms such as diaspora and homeland at face value, whne in fact they are politically disputed enities. A comparison with the Vertriebene would illustrate how little fact there is in such terminology, and how much politics.Paul111 19:01, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Americo-centric

message: The article is written from the POV of just one scholar, Yossi Shain. There are other problems with it, though. For example, the section on conflicting loyalties focuses entirely on the Jewish community, as if for other diasporas, this is not an issue. Furthermore, the widely discredited paper by Mearsheimer and Watt is presented uncontested, even though this pseudoscholarship has no place on Wikipedia outside the article about itself.

thread_title:  Biased 

message: Folks, the tone of this article seems to me to be one more suited for a textbook or magazine article:
:"To understand a diaspora's politics, one must first understand its historical context and attachments: "
:"Diasporas are thus understood as transnational political entities"
:"Thus, from the perspective of the diaspora, the homeland's "political and territorial fate has profound implications."
:"it is assumed that a state, in order to act coherently in the international system, must . . ."
Also, as noted above, this article seems to be primarily a regurgitation of the work of Yossi Shain and does not present a comprehensive viewpoint.  Madman 16:44, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Need authentic sample game 

message: Isn't the psudocode quiescence_search rather wrong when looking at chess?
In chess engines implementations would say:
1) Make an evaluation of the current position (without any search!), assuming this value is save
2) Try capture moves and maybe check giving moves to look whether we can reach more. (using quiescence_search recursively)
Looking at the current "quiete position"-idea of wikipedia you will find:
Assume you have a rather smooth position, your queen can capture a pawn, but your queen will get captured then.
We can detect "quiet position" only if we do that capture moves and decide "no, that pawn-robbery was no good idea!"
If we decide "not a quiet position" because we can capture, we will find, that we will loose our queen.
That result would be completely wrong and implementations are not done in chess engines in that way.
You can find a chess-relevant correct description at

Talk:Pennsylvania Route 17

message: Because there had been 2 segments of PA 17 (one of which has since been replaced by I-86), I am asking about official designations.  Notice this:
Usually, the official designation of a numbered route in Pennsylvania is the same as the route number.  The 2 exceptions I know of at this writing each involve an Interstate and a Pa. state route:
I-283 and PA 283 (the latter is officially SR 300)
I-380 and PA 380 (the latter is officially SR 400)
So what was done for official designation of these 2 disconnected occurrences of PA 17? (Presumably, the still-existing PA 17 is also SR 17, so this question refers to the PA 17 which became part of I-86.)— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 (talk) 18:19, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  OK, so what about the official designation in Pa.? 

message: Does that sign still exist?  I.e., if you are on N-bound US 11/15 and reach the intersection with PA 17, there's also a sign which includes the NY state-route shield and the number 17, with drivers being instructed to continue ahead if they're going to NY 17 instead of PA 17.  If you get on PA 17 there, there was a "PENNA" rectangular sign above the keystone-shield sign for PA 17, to reiterate that this is PA, not NY.
This is NOT to be confused with the PA 17 which connected to NY 17 and which became part of I-86.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.94.52.3 (talk) 18:30, 2 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Disney's Mineral King Ski Resort

message: I deleted the following material out of the article, because it seems to violate both the WP:No original research rule and the WP:NPOV rule. I'll leave it here: if editors can provide citations to this data, and write it up in an NPOV way, it would be valuable.
:That legislation eventually stopped the Disney Development Corporation from moving forward into the ski resort business ever again. 
:The voracious Sierra Club funded local media campaigns that filtered throgh the towns and hamlets within Tulare County proposing huge crowds would put tremendous pressure on public man-made and natural resources. Sierra Club contracted tax and bond study proposals were paraded in the local newspaper, the Vislaia Times-Delta. Since the state did provide marginal approval of the project's enviromental impact, transportation was the number one hurdle Disney would have had to overcome to meet the public's access demand to the Mineral King Valley and the proposed resort. Over 2.1 million dollars were spent in study just to address the transportation issue. The study reccommended an expanded capacity electric monorail system between the local village Three Rivers, and the MK Valley itself some 25 miles away. One monorail transport was to ferry 250 people at a time to and from their parked cars in Three Rivers, with a total of up to 4 trains in operation at a time. The double width track was to be suspended through and above the treelines to offer majestic views of the surrounding western Sierra Nevada moutain slope. It would have been the most ambitious engineered transportation project in California at that time. Over 2,700 full time jobs would have been created by the 5 year monorail project alone. Had the project come to fruition, the tax base of Tulare County would have conservatively experienced an 85.9 million dollar boost after it's first full length open ski season.

I don't have them in front of me... but they should be available in the Doyce B. Nunis, Jr. book, The Founding Documents of Los Angeles: A Bilingual Edition. But pre-19th century Spanish orthography—like any European orthography of that period—was held at ransom to the whim of the scribe. The "no" answer is because, once a name becomes, well… a name, the article is often capitalized in Spanish. So for example, it is "la ciudad de El Pao" not "la ciudad del Pao," although it looks funny at first glance.
