replies: text: @TheManInTheBlackHat  It doesn't make sense to create a Wikipedia article for each single Dora award category, in each disciplinary division. The Toronto Alliance for the Performing Arts, who runs this award program, occasionally makes changes to award categories and divisions. Over the 40 years that this award program has existed, there have been more than a hundred individual awards. It would make more sense to represent individual awards in Wikidata (which is what the Canadian performing arts community actually intends to do). Fjjulien (talk) 19:51, 2 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Altamont Pass

message: I have assigned initial ratings as follows to this article:
*Class: Start, since it's beyond a stub, reasonably NPOV, stable, one decent image, some sources; to advance it needs more breadth, such as ecology, geology, prehistory.
*Importance: Mid. Normally a pass would rate lower, but this one is traversed by tens of thousands of people per day and it does have further notability in its windfarm. Anlace 22:38, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Snipped from the main article page.  Sorry, guys, but this is unfortunately non-notable and extremely NPOV.  I live in the vicinity, so I'd like to think I can speak to the sentiments involved, but this has about as much a place here as a comprehensive overview of plastic surgery does on a certain pop-star's page.

message: According to the USGS, the actual Altamont Pass is on Altamont Pass Road and the rail lines, with an elevation about 720 feet. This is about half the height of Pacheco Pass (1400). --NE2 19:12, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You do know that CalTrans has signs posted on I-580 listing the pass at 1009 feet, right? Thus it appears that both the State of California and the USGS have different definitions of where the pass is located. The article may have to be rewritten to include these two different figures. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:17, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked with my MapsendTopo software, and it all boils down to what is the exact location of the pass. If you define it as the highest point on the lowest possible path connecting the two valleys roughly along I-580, then such point is at 37°43'3.9"N,121°39'40.98"W, and its elevation is 1034 ft above the mean sea level.

thread_title:  Comments 

message: I have removed the following from the article as it contains a gross over-approximation of the town's population in the 1950s.
:The 1948 discovery of oil in the area transformed the sleepy hamlet of about 160 people into a booming town of over 4000 people at the peak of the oil boom in the 1950s. The population has declined since to around 2000.
Notwithstanding the town's website states "Redwater grew from a hamlet of 160 people to approximately 4000 during the oil boom", a review of the more reliable sources of the annual "official population list" published by Alberta Municipal Affairs and the 1951 and 1956 federal censuses indicate that its population did not surpass 1,400 people in the 1950s. It is difficult to deem the approximation of 4,000 to be credible when two other credible sources, publishing census counts, report the population throughout the decade being a fraction of the approximation.I will re-add some of the information from the deleted content back to the article shortly (with references).

No problem with that.  But please search Wikipedia first before adding a new article.  We had to untangle Panzer Leader (game) from Panzer Leader (book).  The book is quite famous. --John Nagle 19:17, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm. Possibly not. Good point. However, I'm trying to encourage someone a bit more involved in the subject to start writing by providing a 'seed' off of something I came across. Probably should be moved here (talk) until it can be surrounded by an article to balance it (where someone just browsing wouldn't see it and be inspired...). Of course, it is generally true. Panzerblitz made a big impression way back when. It was what everything else on the subject got compared to, and many people from the '70s cite as 'how I got into wargames'. AH did a west front version (Panzer Leader) to capitalize on that, and I'm trying to point out the pre-existing pressure for the game. So... I'll let someone else judge. :) --Rindis 20:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  "that language" seems unclear 

message: "Another is the impossibility of implementing certain algorithms efficiently in high-level languages."
C is a high-level assembly language. Period.
The claim was inserted without a reference or ditation and will tend to mislead neophytes concerning C and algorithm implementation.
in the past, similar claims were common for assemblers.
Claims initially made for C++ were often, in fact, i.e., in engineering practice, confounded by the facts of errors in production code.  See issues of complexity and maintainability.
See algorithms implemented in Oz, Mercury; see original work on constraint-based resolution; see parser generation and the folly of re-inventing the wheel in C rather than relying on optimizing compilers.
Perhaps "some simple algorithms" would be more appropriate, as some C-style iterative implementations of algorithms are notoriously inefficient while "elegant" in that high-level language.
Perhaps we might better say "some types of algorithm in some higher-level languages" until a citation or reference is supplied.

Talk:Wagstaff prime

message: That list: 3, 5 7, 11 etc... is that for the exponent p or the Wagstaff prime itself? It says in the article those are the first few Wagstaff primes, but I don't think so... for instance, if 5 was a Wagstaff prime, it would follow that ((2^p)+1)/3 = 5 for some prime p, ie 2^p = 14, which is nonsense... ln(14) isn't even natural.

thread_title:  what is this list? 

message: Several days ago, someone named Anton Vrba claims to have discovered a new primality test for Wagstaff numbers that is very similar to the Lucas–Lehmer primality test.

However, I was able to verify this hypothesis for values of q up to 167.

replies: text: The whole history section is a slight updating of the entry in the 1911 Encyclopedia Britannica. It's possible backscratchers have become more serious in the past century, but I don't have the specialist knowledge to be sure.

message: It seems that this article is lacking (intentionally?) the fact that back scratchers are most commonly called "Chinese Backscratchers" in the modern English language.  This is not a product of racism, nor does it ignore the fact that back scratchers appear through-out history in multiple cultures, but it is what they are most commonly called today.

I also see one editor reverting a merger and saying it must stay without providing any reasons. Honestly the best approach is to merge this not particularly notable place but to leave a category membership in place so that it still appears in the category tree. Discuss. --kingboyk 19:58, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems legitimate to argue that articles such as this are analogous to articles for census designated places in the US (see Collier Manor-Cresthaven, Florida, for example). As such, it is appropriate to keep them as seperate articles and let them grow (just as has been done with with census designated places) rather than merging them into the larger areas of which they are part. Beyond this, I firmly believe that page merges should always occur only after at least an attempt at discussion -- if we do not have processes like this, arbitrariness is likley to result.
