thread_title:  Loss 

message: The Ship History section states that S-25 (or P-551, whichever she was then) was passed on to the Polish navy in exile "due to a lack of trained submarine crews in the Royal Navy at the time", the source for this being Pertek's book (p. 319). Does Pertek offer any evidence of this claim? It seems unlikely; the RN was commissioning T- and U-class submarines at the rate of one or two a month at the end of 1941, and I've not seen any evidence they were lacking in crews for their submarines. It is more likely the Pole's simply wanted to  get into the fight, and had a crew available. Does anybody know for sure? Xyl 54 (talk) 13:33, 3 January 2016 (UTC)

message: I am confused about the edit by User:Alan Liefting. Why should a link to the Tui beer brand's homepage be "inappropriate"? For example, the article BMW has numerous links to BMW's websites. I vote for restoring the link to the Tui beer brand company website (and I am in no way affiliated with them).
Yogi de 11:56, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Tui is a disambiguation page for a bird, town and beer. Each entry is one line.  The link for Tui beer would be more appropriate at a page called Tui (beer) if it was appropriate to have such a page.  Another way of making the link more approriate would be to to have the link placed in the article so it is more apparent to be associated with Tui beer.  I am of the opinion that in an encylopedia the town of Tui and  the Tui bird are more important than a brand of beer.  I have made a better link to the beer brand.

Talk:Pope Stephen X

message: According to the article, before becoming pope Stephen X had to take refuge from Henry II. I wonder if it should read Henry III, because Henry II died in 1024. Even Henry III had died before Stephen X became pope.
This article is based on 19th century source. Since 1961 the counting of Popes Stephen has been changed; the second pope Stephen (3 days in 752) is no longer counted as a pope. A more accurate naming convention would be "Pope Stephen IX (X)" as it is used in literature. Besednjak 15:35, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The most accurate renaming would be simply Pope Stephen IX. There is no need for a paarenthesis with a variant of the name. The article itself is explicit enough. Švitrigaila 22:10, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Trbovlje Power Station

message: 1 E4 m³ states that the Trbovlje Chimney is the "largest concrete structure in Europe" (in an edit dated 2004 Jul 31, from Romanm), containing 11 866 m³ of concrete. Is this still true as it stands, or does it now need amendment or qualification?
To pick a well-known recent example, the Millau Viaduct article variously claims that "the project required about 127,000 m³ of concrete" and "85,000 m³: total volume of concrete used", both much larger figures. Assuming that all of that concrete remains in the structure, on the face of it it looks like the claim in 1 E4 m³ is no longer true. Perhaps however the Chimney remains the tallest concrete structure, or the largest made entirely of concrete?

Amazing that there are so few examples. Seems to me like "epanalepsis" is a useless term, to be eliminated from the English language. Time to prune a bit of fat off. Or is this already unused?

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I've done some research on epanalepsis, but have come up with results differing from what the current article states.  According to Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged Dictionary of the English Language the definition of epanalepsis is 
a repetition of a word or a phrase with intervening words setting off the repetition, sometimes occurring with a phrase used both at the beginning and end of a sentence, as in Only the poor really know what it is to suffer; only the poor.
(I boldfaced the word sometimes)
The definition according to thefreedictionary.com is
repetition of the same word or phrase after other words have intervened.
To me this seems to imply that it is not a necessity to have the repeated word or phrase at the beginning and end, but simply that any word or phrase can be repeated anywhere else in the sentence.
For instance, a quote from Hamlet II.2.316-320 (http://books.google.com/books?id=VBoVAAAAYAAJ&printsec=titlepage page 58)
What a piece of work is a man ! How noble
in reason ! How infinite in faculty ! In form
and moving how express and admirable ! In
action how like an angel! In apprehension
how like a god !
where the word "how" is repeated in each clause.
One further source for a definition which differs from the article:
http://www.usingenglish.com/glossary/epanalepsis.html
which says, "Epanalepsis is the repetition of a word or phrase, but in no particular position as long as there are words between the repetitions."

message: The article currently states revenues of 45M.  This is obviously wrong as on a base of 7000 stores revenues would be in the billions.  Also since it is a privately held company this information would only ever be a guess. Lumberjack Steve June 8 2006
:The yahoo article says 37000.00 M, now Wal-mart said it revenue is 312427.00 M  which makes it 312.427 billion USD. So Aldi's revenue is infact 37 billion USD, all this sound to me like a classic billion/milliard confusion.159753 21:45, 11 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Overall Revenue

message: In the United Kingdom, Aldi (just like its rival Lidl) is often the center of jokes regarding the wealth of a person, particularly with the younger generation. Many consider it to be demeaning to shop at Aldi, and as a result a lot of students will not admit to shopping there if they do. Actually this is untrue. ALDI and Lidl have almost accrued a cult status amongst students in the UK. Whereas in their younger days they may have mocked it, many students have come to favour ALDI and LIDL and things such as "£1 shops"
Doesn't make an awful lot of sense. Students either like or dislike Aldi... you can't say its demeaning then not true...

Talk:Run-length limited

message: First we have this statement:
Run length limited codes were widely used in hard disk drives until the mid-1980's
Then this statement:
Early disk drives used very simple encoding schemes, such as RLL (0,1) FM code, but higher density RLL (2,7) and RLL (1,7) codes became the de facto industry standard for hard disks by the early 1990s.
The first statement suggests that RLL was not widely used in hard drives after the mid 80s, whereas the second suggests they have been the defacto standard since the early 90s.
How can both of these statements be true?

message: a speed variation of even 0.01% - which is way better than what e.g. a floppy drive can possibly guarantee - could result in four bits being added to or removed from the 4,096 bit data stream.

thread_title:  Math error 

message: As well as I know it, NRZI was used on magnetic tape for many years. IBM used it for 7 track tape, and 800BPI 9 track tape. For odd parity tape, there is a transition in at least one track for each character, so it doesn't have the same problem as disks. It is still a problem, as tape heads can get out of alignment, especially between drives. 800 BPI drives were the least reliable as far as data errors.  (7 track tapes also came in even parity, where you can't write the character with all zero bits. The coding was arranged to allow for that. Disks normally use serial data on a single track, so NRZI doesn't work so well.  IBM did use it on their first disk drive, though. Gah4 (talk) 08:22, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
