Talk:D-2 (video)

message: How does this work? Is it digital sampling of the monochrome picture and the PAL/NTSC/whatever colour subcarrier? --Zilog Jones (talk) 22:11, 30 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, that's right. It's basically an analog signal such as you might get from a VHS tape machine -- only a lot nicer See Composite_video. Should we explain this more clearly for the reader?  XyKyWyKy (talk) 22:09, 15 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text:  Zilog: Please understand that when you're dealing with composite video you can regard the entire thing as one (very complicated) signal to be recorded, played back, etc... as long as you have the bandwidth. Yes, there is a color subcarrier in there (about 3.58 MHz for NTSC) but the luma information extends higher in bandwidth than that (to about 4.2 MHz). So the ADC in a system like this doesn't have to deal with the color subcarrier as anything separate. Note that the old Ampex two inch quad analog machines did the same thing, recording and playing back composite video directly. Jeh (talk) 23:07, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

message: * Entire article seems to be based on http://www.encyclopediapro.com/mw/D-2 (or is that vice-versa? Maybe that article borrowed from an early version of this article)
* 2nd paragraph: "airchains, television studios, post-production and linear editing" REMOVED: is this list needed? Seems to disturb flow of the sentence.
* Models: reformatted by grouping model series on a single line 
* "gallery" REMOVED: only one image, which duplicated image from info box
* "See also D5 HD" REMOVED: this has nothing to do with composite digital

Talk:Sheep dog

message: User:Hanii Puppy has made an edit with the following summary: "Re-added Border Collie. A Border Collie isn't a type of dog, it's a specific breed."  I've reverted this for the moment.
We have to remember that this is a disambiguation page, which lists WP articles which have or might be assumed to have similar titles: in this case "Sheep dog" (see WP:MOSDAB).  There are two classes of dog commonly known as sheepdogs, and both are already listed: Livestock guardian dogs and Herding dogs.  The Border Collie is one of the latter, and so it is already covered.
Yes, you can use the term "sheepdog" loosely when talking about a Border Collie, but then you are using it as a synonym for "herding dog" – for example you might say "the Border Collie is a sheepdog, and so is the Bearded Collie".  You could not however use "sheepdog" to mean that breed in particular – for example, you'd never say of a Border Collie: "that's a Sheepdog, not a Bearded Collie or an English Shepherd".
If we included Border Collie, there would be equal justification for including every other breed or type of dog that might be called "sheepdog" – but as I pointed out in an earlier discussion, there are dozens of these, and anyway they are all already listed on either Livestock guardian dog or Herding dog.  I think we could only include the Border Collie as an item if there was evidence that the term "sheepdog" is commonly used as an alternative name for that breed specifically, to the exclusion of other herding dog breeds.  Does anyone have such a ref?  Richard New Forest (talk) 11:13, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The paragraph that attempts to infer rolling stock upgrades from a 5 mi/h difference between the projected line speed and the maximum speed of the current stock seems to be rather speculative. I am not specifically familiar with British practices, but I'd find it more probable that Network Rail prefers (for consistency and ease of planning) to use a discrete range of line speed ratings for all new constructions, and that 80 mi/h is simply the lowest common design speed that allows for the envisaged use of the line. Unless it can be argued that building the new line with a 75 mi/h rating would have been an actually considered option, the paragraph does not sound convincing. –Henning Makholm 09:08, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I am not sure what the following text in the History section of the article is supposed to mean "however in 2015 saw the lowest share of the Labour Party's vote nationally – reinforcing a consistent result by a great majority supporting left-wing politics to vote for a Liberal and later Liberal Democrat at general elections since the seat's inception." This comes right after a discussion of Labour's vote in the constituency in 1951, which seems odd and I really fail to see what point is being made. 2015 was not Labour's lowest share of the vote in the UK (2010 was lower for a start) and the Labour vote in North Cornwall was higher than it had been in 2010. The 2015 contest was actually notable for the massive decrease in the Lib Dem incumbent's share of the vote which led to a comfortable Conservative gain. I would therefore propose removing this text as it seems to be both unclear and inaccurate. Dunarc (talk) 19:59, 8 February 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: It clearly isn't the candidate's biog if it is not her article. If she is notable enough to have her own article, then she should have one, if not then she doesn't have a biog on wikipedia. I don't know enough about her to know how notable she is in other areas of life, but if her only claim to fame is being a three-time defeated LibDem candidate then that is clearly not enough. All her section of the Baron Teverson article made clear was that she was a candidate and she was married to him. Frinton100 (talk) 14:08, 30 June 2015 (UTC)

Do some research and watch some of Martin Lawrence earlier standup routines, and then check out his hit tv series "Martin", then it should be obvious where this phrase originated from.  When this phrase was first used, it was only used amongst Black Americans.  But, as always, some white americans indulged heavily into Black culture, and before you know it become popular culture, and then other white americans are given credit for thing originated by black americans (hint: rock-n-roll, disco, and just about every slang phrase). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.17.106.111 (talk) 23:06, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
