thread_title:  AIM != World View 

message: As per my research, here is a timeline regarding World View. It looks like it was, indeed, a separate service
1. In 1982, World View was granted a licence to carry a regional Pay TV Service in BC (Decision CRTC 82-240)
2. Launched in 1985
3. In 1995, World View assets were acquired by Cathay International Television (Decision CRTC 85-628)
4. In 1987, Fairchild (previously known as Chinavision) became a competitor to Cathay International Television in BC (Decision CRTC 87-74)
5. In 1992, Cathay International Television was granted a Regional Special TV Service licence to replace its Pay TV Service in BC (Decision CRTC 92-163)
6. In 1993, Cathay International Television assets were acquired by Fairchild (Decisions: CRTC 93-644 & CRTC 93-730)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.226.146.90 (talk) 00:43, 10 May 2010 (UTC)

message: I recommend dropping the column "Classful Name" in the second table of this article.
Reason:  It's true that Class A, B and C networks had default subnet masks of 8, 16 and 24 bits, and this is accurately captured in the first table.  However, it is not true that a network of 8, 16, or 24 bits becomes a Class A, B or C network.  
At my previous company we had a Class A network (47.0.0.0).  We often created subnets with 24-bit masks, but that didn't make them Class C networks.  Conversely, I might take my 192.168.0.0 address space at home and create a /16 network, but 192... remains a Class C, not Class B.
I regularly come across people who think a /24 means you have a Class C network.  But the "Class" is determined by the first 4 bits in the address.  This is clearly explained in the Wikipedia article "Classful network", and I've never heard it disputed by anyone who understood the background.
I believe the first table here illustrates very well the concept that Class A, B, C networks have default subnet masks.  But I think the second table should not say that a /8 is a Class A, /16 a Class B, nor that /24 a Class C.  The simple solution, as I said, is to remove that 5th column "Classful Name".  It doesn't add any information that's not already found in the table above.  And it's misleading the reader that way, at best.  Arguably, it is outright incorrect.

thread_title:  Name 

message: @,  and  I noticed the edit warring and chose to step in to help implement the WP:CONSENSUS process of dispute resolution. I encourage everyone to stop reverting and discuss the issue here.
This topic appears to be a very minor event in relation to the topic at large. The long term significance of the event is unclear because of WP:RECENTISM but more importantly the section is way too detailed and lengthy. I also note that there is a lot of speculative reporting and speculative accusations which make this seem all rather trivial. If we do cover this at all in the article it should be limited to a couple of sentences maximum. Otherwise it is WP:UNDUE emphasis on a rather minor event that is tangential to the primary topic. I would oppose having a section devoted to this topic because of UNDUE weight. We should be able to cover this briefly in a sentence or two in the 21st century section. That’s all that is warranted, otherwise it throws the article off balance. 
I have therefore removed the section until a WP:CONSENSUS opinion is arrived at here. Please don’t restore the content until it has been discussed here and a community decision is arrived at. All opinions welcome. 4meter4 (talk) 05:25, 15 March 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sydney Opera House Grand Organ

message: According to the PDF specification provided, the organ has at least two swell boxes, or enclosed divisions.  It appears that one of them may be double-enclosed.  The swell box has two sets of shades with separate expression shoes - one set opens into the room and the other is on the back of the swell box toward the curved wall - stunning effects are possible with this system.
This is two posts. The first consists of two sentences  and seems to misunderstand the specification (as did I <blush> when I first worked on the article, so it was actually a useful contribution of sorts). The reply  appears to be original research. Neither is encyclopedic, but both contain information that, if properly sourced and added in the right place, would enhance the article.

HistoryLink.org Essay 2762
::Madame Lou Graham arrives in Seattle in February 1888.
::In February 1888, Madame Lou Graham (1861-1903) steps off the steamer Pacific Pride and begins her project of founding a sumptuous, lucrative, and expensive house of prostitution. She establishes the house in downtown Seattle at 3rd Avenue and Washington Street, and it is frequented by Seattle's most elite business leaders and visitors. 
::Madame Lou Graham was German-born and her real name was Dorothea Georgine Emile Ohben. She made a fortune in Seattle and became a large landowner. She died of syphilis at about age 42, and <B>left her entire estate to relatives in Germany (not to the King County public schools as some sources allege)</B>. (my emphasis)
So, which is it? Did it transpire that she "died intestate, and her supposed relatives from Hamburg turned out to be frauds. Her estate went to support the common schools in King County, the county in which Seattle is located" as is stated in this article or did she will her estate to German relatives?
The King County as benificiary assertion is attributed to Bill Spiedels 1989 book, which I believe is the book about Doc Maynard (I am now reading this book). I read "Sons of the Profits" (the 1969 book?) and do not remember a description of what happened to her estate. The books by Bill Spiedel seem to be founded in primary sources, and it would seem that a donation to a county would be a matter of public record. I will dig in the Maynard book to see if he has notes on this. -Johnfravolda (talk) 22:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)
