message: Just in case any future eager-beaver thinks they want to "scoop" everyone, please think twice before assuming that a modern woman (much less, a noted TV personality with decades of name recognition) will automatically change her last name after the marriage ceremony. 
One now-banned editor jumped through a lot of hoops  the marriage was announced to "update" Ms. Langsford's article & infobox, but without any citable sources. Later on, the same editor tried a botched-job of a cut & paste page move to "Ruth Holmes" as an article title. Again without any substantiation of fact.
A well-meaning admin corrected the "cut & paste" into a proper move & redirect the same day in September, but unaware of the factual errors, the "Ruth Holmes" article stayed mis-titled in Wiki Mainspace, until kindly admin AnemoneProjectors recently moved & edited the article back to "Ruth Langsford". 
ITV's website (her employer), David Hull & Tony Brown (her agents & professional bio website hosts), and Ruth's personal website & Facebook pages all confirm her last name.
In short: She's Ruth Langsford, legally & professionally. Period.

message: Holmes was winning Play Your Cards Right in the first ever series, in Alan Carr's Epic Gameshow, and she was also an anchor on ITV's lunchtime chat show Loose Women and presents Ruth Holmes's Fashion Edit on QVC. She took part in the fifteenth series of Strictly Come Dancing, where she came in ninth. She is currently the longest serving female presenter of This Morning. Ruth is also known for her exclusive fashion collection for Shopping Channel QVC. After being approached to curate a collection, Holmes signed a multi-million pound endorsement deal that spawned 19 sellout collections; 18 of which debuted at London Fashion Week Women’s Collection.

message: I'm looking for sources for a Kahen (Ethiopian Church) article, but I'm not quite seeing enough for a separate article just yet.  Most of the books I'm finding either discuss Jewish Kahens (I will add what I can from them when I can), or their relationship to debteras.  I should be able to come up with enough material to either:
*expand this article to a general Kahen article that discusses the similarities and differences between Jewish and Christian Kahens (as with the debtera article)
Or
*add an Ethiopian Tewahado subsection to the Christianity section of the Priest article.
Following the debtera article, I'm inclined to go with a meatier Kahen article, but would be willing to put the Christian Kahen material in the priest article if others think it would be more appropriate there. Ian.thomson (talk) 19:46, 15 December 2012 (UTC)

This fact is ommited by the (otherwise incredible) original Battle of Chalons article. In fact, the Battle of Chalons article is so incredibly detailed that i have to assume the ommission was done deliberately. Is Torismond's winning maneuver an outdated theory?

replies: text: Well, the clue is in the name: it is used for identifying processes.  Personally I don't see a huge problem with that in the article - the opening paragraph states this and the (brief) discussion of function calls that use it places it into context.  Ultimately it is not a complex topic and I think you would be doing the reader a disservice adding to much detail.  Indeed, I am struggling to imagine what more you could say about it - we say is is for identifying processes and go on to show how it is used to manipulate processes via system calls.
