message: Where is the source claiming that paupiette is made with sweetmeat? It's a savory dish, and while I've seen mention of fruit, the Wiki entry is the only place online I've seen it described as including sweetmeat. This makes no sense to me, as sweetmeats are basically candied fruits; who in the world would consider wrapping candy in meat to be a good idea? Or edible in any way? This seems to be a mistake -- surely the correct ingredient is sweetbread. Also, sweetbread should be linked to its own Wiki entry if we make this needed change to the entries for roulade and paupiette.68.111.62.56 (talk) 09:49, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

message: This should not have been on the article's main page. I've moved it here
Could somebody clarify the statement:
"calculated over a 45-day window, and takes into account the number of newsgroups to which a message is posted. It is defined as the sum over each copy of the message of the square root of the number of newsgroups that copy is cross posted to."  
Assume a person posts the same message to x newsgroups and does so y times in a 45 day span.  Please show the formula for determining if this value exceeds the maximum of 20.  It sounds like it would be: 
x * y / sqrt(x) > 20  or y * sqrt(x) > 20

Talk:Texan schooner Independence

message: Hi, nice article which only needs a handful of simple tweaks to become a GA.
*The lead must be reorganised. Move the 4th paragraph in between the 1st and 2nd sentances of the 1st paragraph and then merge the 2nd and 3rd paragraphs together, leaving two neat paragraphs at the top.
*Instead of "skirmishing without result with the Mexican brigs Urrea and Bravo", try "skirmishing inconclusively with . . ." 
*Link to the correct Santa Anna (Antonio López de Santa Anna).
*Make sure all references come after punctuation without a space.
*Link to the Treaty of Velasco and remove the adjective "strongman" unless it has a special significance I am unwaware of (in which case explain it in the article).
*Rumors of an imminent invasion of Texas.
*Remove comma in: "while there, Commodore Hawkins"
*In the battle and surrender section, introduce the paragraph i.e. "On her next cruise, Independence had had seven days smooth sailing when. . . "
*Change "What the populace" to "The populace" and remove the "was" which follows it.
*Remove the comma after captain and try to explain more clearly how Independence was raked: Were the Mexicans faster? Was she badly handled? was it a wind problem? 
*As there is no artice for Mexican schooner La Independencia can you briefly shed some light on the schooner's future career? When did she retire, was she sunk etc.
In all, a good article with the clear potential to reach GA status. Nice work.--Jackyd101 01:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: This is what I call progressive loaded pictures. This article though claims interlaced images are also called progressive. I don't think that is right. Progressive and interlaced loadings are two different ways of incrementally loading pictures. With incremental loading as the generic name. Carewolf (talk) 16:20, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

text: I found an article referring to progressive scanned as "non-progressive". I think to avoid confusion, the least ambiguous terminology is progressive scanned vs progressive interlaced. Also, I don't like the term 'interlacing' on it's own, because it implies interlaced video which behaves differently to the 2D bitmap interlacing described in this article. Progressive interlacing effectively starts low-res and gradually improves, whereas video interlacing effectively doubles the frame rate and halves the vertical resolution.

Talk:MC Ren discography

message: Over the past few years, various users have edited MC Ren's discography page and have added the RIAA certification status to several of his releases.  As someone who has spent a great deal of time researching MC Ren's career (and constantly re-correcting MC Ren's RIAA discography information), I have not been able to verify any RIAA certification other than PLATINUM status for his 1992 E.P. "Kizz My Black Azz".  This can be verified by using RIAA's gold/platinum searchable database by visiting: RIAA - Gold and Platinum
As I recall, MC Ren's "Shock of the Hour", "Villain in Black", and "Ruthless For Life" did not enjoy great commercial success or record sales.
For future users, any adjustments to MC Ren's RIAA status for his discography must be verified with an appropriate link.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.194.45.199 (talk) 20:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:De Redin towers

message: I am the author of the Hamrija Tower article. I have a mild preference for keeping the individual articles seperate, but with a link to the de Redin towers page, and a link from the page to each article about a tower.  The reason is that this facilitates finding the info. One can look under the class, if one knows that the towers belong to it, or one can look under the name of the particular tower and dsicover that it is a member of a class of towers.

replies: text:  But I fear that such articles will remain stubs forever. It is more manageable to have one solid article (possibly about all Maltese Coastal Towers from the period of the Knights) and then use redirection ( #REDIRECT  ) to make sure the information can be found.

Talk:Journal Editorial Report

message: There is no evidence to back up the claim that the PBS incarnation of this program was on the air for the reason that it was a countebalance to a liberal program.  That sounds more like a POV speculation than a fact - since there are no sources cited.  It was added by an editor user:Calwatch who has since "quit" Wikipedia.
<P>The later statements that the program is "soley conservative" because its panel is "conservative OR libertarian" contradicts itself - libertarians are not a subset of conservatives - and the statement is not supported by any facts or cited sources.  This was part of the expanision of the article by user:Clindhartsen, who identifies his political leanings as "to the right".
The statement "since the show has aired" is too open ended since the show continues to air (as of September 2007).  That text was written in June 2006, so it can only state that "up until June 2006" - even if the statement is true and verifiable.  This consideration about not using words that convey "as of when I wrote this"  without saying when it was written is contained in section 10 of the Wikipedia style guide

Talk:Antonio Lolli

message: Antonio Lolli, who was born at Bergamo about 1730, appears to have been
somewhat of a charlatan. He was self-taught, and, though a performer of
a good deal of brilliancy, was but a poor musician. He was restless,
vain, and conceited, and addicted to gambling. He is said to have played
the most difficult double-stops, octaves, tenths, double-shakes in
thirds and sixths, harmonics, etc., with the greatest ease and
certainty. At one time he appeared as a rival of Nardini, with whom he
is said to have had a contest, and whom he is supposed to have defeated.
According to some accounts, he managed to excite such universal
admiration in advance of the contest that Nardini withdrew.
Lolli was so eccentric that he was considered by many people to be
insane, and Doctor Burney, in writing of him, says, "I am convinced that
in his lucid intervals, he was in a serious style a very great,
expressive, and admirable performer;" but Doctor Burney does not mention
any lucid interval.

message: I plan to add a section on the composition of a WWII Italian paratroop division to this article.  This does not seem controversial to me.  But I am discussing it prior to making any changes.  I intend to indicate number of regiments and what equipment was available.
I have previously added sections on the composition of the other divisions.  My overall comment concerning this article is that it is a good place to place information concerning the "make up" of the Royal Italian Army during WWII.  Ultimately, this would be a good place for lists of links to WWII era Italian armies and corps too.  I think the "history" within this article should be kept to a minimum . . . with MANY links to histories that already exist and that could exist.  
I would like to one day create a separate article on the 1940 advance into Egypt.  It is currently rolled into the Operation Compass article, but it is really a separate event and does not belong there other than as a referenced link.

Talk:Cockpit (sailing)

message: This heading is misleading. Judging from the text, this Naval term 'cockpit' refers to something different from the cockpit of a powerboat or a sailboat, where it refers to the place where the wheel is.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Dickpenn (talk • contribs) 
:It depends - cockpit was originally just the open space where the rudder was operated. 
:When multidecked ships started to be built, the whipstaff was moved 'upwards', on the (new) weather deck, but the original cockpit area remained structurally distinct and later was used as living quarters for midshipmen and even later for surgeon's mates.
:So today's small sailing ships' cockpit is just the original meaning of the word - the problem is how to put it in the article somewhat comprehensively, as the latter meaning is the newer one, but no more in use.-2A00:1028:83BE:5492:78DC:717E:350C:2E74 (talk) 12:19, 25 March 2016 (UTC)
