thread_title:  Edit deleting ERP text & business references 

message: I haven't edited the article, but it seems quite wrong on a specific point: I often see this term applied to the newest version of a game, *including* all content and DLC. In Paradox games, for example. Or whenever modding Skyrim. It's useful for differentiating between "modified by fans" and "the newest, most complete version of the game as shipped by the developers". Perhaps this is because I don't play Warcraft, but I've literally never seen the usage claimed in this article (only refers to "original, as first shipped") until now.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.17.187.218 (talk) 14:42, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Fair-share scheduling

message: Fair-share is used by some hosting companies to lure customers with cheap deals. After a few weeks the service will be disabled arbitrarily citing a unfair resource overuse and a more expensive, dedicated server might be offered. Means to limit the own unfair resource use are not made available.
It is obvious why this content keeps getting removed by certain people again and again. So I recommend locking this whole article to prevent vandalism.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.193.87.140 (talk • contribs) 12:09, 27 February 2014‎

:Although there is a clear COI/promotional issue going on here, the subject of the article may be notable. I could find eight hits through Google Books and eighteen through Google Scholar. There are also around 7500 google-hits, but that itself doesn't say much and a quick glance told me that most things google finds there are either not independent or not reliable (or both). 
I have not yet looked in-depth as to how reliable the hits from Google Books and Google Scholar are and whether they are trivial mentions or in-depth coverage, although a quick glance told me that a fair few are at least independent of the article's subject, but it looks to me like the subject of the article has a fair chance of being notable enough per wikipedia guidelines.

thread_title:  Title and source 

message: When I was a Boy Scout in Australia in the 1960s, we had a third verse. Somebody surely must have a copy of the Australian Scout's songbook of that era. From memory it went :
Modern man's become more drastic
Keeps his pants up with elastic
Buys his socks and coats of plastic
Down on Unley Road
Dacron jumpers have no style on
Orlon undies just look vile on
Even we would not wear nylon
Even if it snowed
Keep your vile synthetics
Chesty Bond athletics
Drip-dry shirt collects the dirt
And smells of hair oil, lotion and cosmetics
All together in all weather
Never wear an ounce of cloth or leather
Not a fig-leaf or a feather
We'll just stick to woad!

replies: text: Another Australian here, also with memories of that third verse. (Perhaps with minor differences, but very much with the same theme.)

thread_title:  Date of first publication? 

message: I think the section "Reputation" gives too much weight to Lystra's opinion that Twain was not a sincere anti-Stratfordian. (I also think she has markedly misinterpreted Twain's irony in his statement, but that's neither here nor there.) There is no doubt Twain disbelieved Shakespeare's authorship (see Shapiro 2010). I think her long block quote needs to be summarised and Shapiro quoted as a balance. Tom Reedy (talk) 20:15, 28 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yea, I know. I agree really. I came across the passage while looking up something totally different. I think her argument is rather confused. In fact parts of the paragraph do not even make sense to me. She even seems to retract what she's saying in a buried endnote in which she says it 'seems' he really was a Baconian. I added it because I thought it was interesting as an alternative POV. Given my sieve-like mind, I thought it best to add it while I remembered it. I kind of "parked" it here with the idea that I'd look up some other contrasting views and maybe edit it later. Paul B (talk) 21:11, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Instead of using what Shapiro says about Twain, why not just read what Twain writes:
"In the Assuming trade three separate and independent cults are transacting business.  Two of these cults are known as the Shakespearites and the Baconians, and I am the other one—the Brontosaurian. The Shakespearite knows that Shakespeare wrote Shakespeare’s Works; the Baconian knows that Francis Bacon wrote them; the Brontosaurian doesn’t really know which of them did it, but is quite composedly and contentedly sure that Shakespeare didn’t, and strongly suspects that Bacon did.  We all have to do a good deal of assuming, but I am fairly certain that in every case I can call to mind the Baconian assumers have come out ahead of the Shakespearites.  Both parties handle the same materials, but the Baconians seem to me to get much more reasonable and rational and persuasive results out of them than is the case with the Shakespearites."

thread_title:  Weight issues 

message: The following comments, in the intro to the article, give undue weight to trivial issues. The NY Times corrected the "controversy" two days after raising the issue:
The original publication spans only 150 pages, and the formatting leaves roughly half of each page blank. The spine is thread bound. It was published in April 1909books.google.com by Harper & Brothers, twelve months before Mark Twain's death.
The book attracted controversy for incorporating a chapter from The Shakespeare Problem Restated by George Greenwood without permission or proper credit, an oversight Twain blamed on the accidental omission of a footnote by the printer.Jdkag (talk) 16:38, 25 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Photoelastic modulator

message: I removed "chopping" light as uses of PEM, because although it can be done, I doubt any experimenter actually uses PEM that way, for two reasons: (1) you can only modulate with a square wave---with anything but a square wave, my suspicion is that your modulation isn't going to be linear (i.e. for incoming sinusoidal signal to PEM, the light intensity that gets through isn't sinusoidal), (2) you are limited to only one chopping frequency, 50 kHz, or whatever your PEM was built for. AOM is much better for that---i.e. you take the first-order diffraction peak and modulate the signal intensity at ... almost anywhere from less than 1 Hz to anything much smaller than the AOM operating frequency (about 10 MHz, depending on AOM). Please add a reference to an experiment that does use a PEM as a chopper before adding that back as one of the uses of PEM. novakyu 17:45, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
