Talk:SAP IQ

message: For the second time I've removed links to the Sybase IQ Success Stories and Sybase IQ Solutions Demo. I believe the general link to the official Sybase site is sufficient, and that these additional pages are simply sales pitches. An anonymous user suggested that "The linked material is not Sybase sales material; it is a third-party benchmark". However, I can find no evidence of this. The linked pages seem to be a list of testimonials and a Flash-based product demo, respectively.
Both of these pages are linked off the Sybase IQ homepage. To include them directly here would, in my opinion, violate the external link policy regarding balanced points of view.

Talk:Prince-Bishopric of Constance

message: One has to use common sense. Articles such as this one (Bishopric of Constance) often have an infobox that occupies more space lengthwise than the text of the article itself (not that easy to find enough stuff to write a 2000-word article on the Prince-Bishopric of Constance in English). Which means that to respect the "anti-sandwiching" rule, any maps or photographs either have to be incorporated to the Infobox (max. 1) or relegated at the bottom of the article, and out of view. Yet, in this kind of narrow-focused historical articles, maps and photographs are informative and valuable and usually more so than those (often misleading) dumb infoboxes.
What's more, the "Infobox former country" type of infobox such as the one in this article is quite narrow and the text certainly didn't look "sandwiched" before someone summarily relocated my images to the bottom of the article.
Since we are dealing with "sandwiching": 
The major article "European Union" (which has a "this is good article" icon) starts (below the lead) with a whole paragraph "sandwiched" between a very wide Infobox and a picture. Nobody seems to be particularly offended.
The article "Los Angeles" has at least 3 instances of text sandwiched between 2 pictures. Doesn't look "sandwiched" to me!
Same with the Wikipedia articles on Milan, Montreal, Cairo, Belgrade, Mexican Revolution, Seven Years War, etc. etc. etc.
There are myriad Wiki articles with paragraphs fully or partially "sandwiched" between 2 photographs or an infobox and a photograph. And you know what? it doesn't look "sandwiched" and readers don't seem particularly offended.--Lubiesque (talk) 22:18, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Nagaru Tanigawa

message: It may be worth considering changing the status from "On Hiatus" to "Completed."
The Haruhi Suzumiya series novels are quoted on the main wikipedia Haruhi Suzumiya page as being released from June 6, 2003 – June 15, 2011.
No new novels have been released and having read the novels the last one to be release makes the series seem completed but also leaves a lot open to interpretation. Leaving things open to interpretation is a standard for the series but it also seems like the author is leaving himself some hooks for if he were to continue writing in the future.
I have been unable find any direct source from the author that definitively states he will continue the series. The only reference that there are more stories planned comes from an Official Fan book titles "The Observation of Haruhi Suzumiya" p. 121 The author states that he's thought of another story but has of yet to write it when responding in an interview.
The context of the discussion and the reactions of the members, however, leaves it ambiguous whether there is more planned or that it was not said in earnest since the article jokingly censors when the author gives plot details in the exact same nature as is done in the novels themselves, especially when considering that this source is opening avoiding plot details for the end of the last published work.
Given it is over five years with no additional information it is difficult to say how accurate "Hiatus" it may be more appropriate to list it as "Indefinite Hiatus"

thread_title:  Clarification required for Algebraic proof

message: The geometric proof had me cross-eyed until I sketched out a picture. Couldn't a diagram be included in this section?  That way, it's easy to work out the length of all the segment sequences:  as an example, the final, vertical sequence of segments for the first (and easiest to diagram) combination would be of length n - r + k, for any k. I think just showing the first (and simplest) combinations for the m part and the n part--where all the earliest segments are included (and therefore horizontal) and the latter segments are excluded (and therefore vertical)--would be enough for most readers to get an idea how the proof works. (To avoid confusion: the orientations in this description are particular to the sketch I made. "Horizontal" and "vertical", "included" and "excluded" could each be switched in another diagram and that one would still be applicable to the proof.)

Talk:Claymore (TV series)

message: The information about Irene does not seem to be accurate - there's an implication that Irene's final fall is in her fight with Priscilla. 
In the fight with Priscilla Irene only loses her bad arm. After escaping Irene learns to suppress her Yoki in order to survive and evade the organization. She shows up quite alive in episode 13 where she rescues Clare from Ophilia (who hasn't turned into an Awakened Being yet). 
Irene teaches Clare the flash sword skill but realizes Clare's skill with the flash sword is poor at best. At this point Irene hacks off her good arm and gives it to Clare (recall Ophilia hacked to bits  Clare's good arm in an earlier fight). 
After Clare and Irene part a visitor from the organization discovers Irene. With no arms Irene is clearly outmatched. While it's implied that the visitor is likely going to kill Irene, the act of killing is never shown and considering Irene's previous number #2 position there's something to be said about the possibility of her surviving an attack through some other skill.

Talk:Autostrade of Italy

message: Just thinking about the names of the individual articles: A1 Motorway (Italy), A3 Motorway, A9 Motorway etc...they're quite likely to conflict with other roads in other countries, aren't they? What about calling them "Autostrada A1" etc? It's also much clearer what country it is, and while "autostrada" isn't as well known as "autoroute" or "autobahn" in English, it's somewhat recognised as a word. Any opinions?

replies: text: I hadn’t read this talk page before, but when I created the A26 page I thought about it a bit then rather unhesitatingly called it Autostrada A26. The problem with A26 (Italy) is that ‘Italy’ by itself is not a very good disambiguator from the many other things which ‘A26’ might refer to that are not roads. Also there doesn’t seem to be a consistent pattern of naming such articles as ‘A999 (Country)’. I note from the disambiguation page A26 that the autoroute is called A26 autoroute, rather than A26 (France). The Spanish equivalent is Autovía A-26. Germany lacks a twenty-sixth autobahn, but the others are named Bundesautobahn 1, etc. The Polish number one motorway is called Autostrada A1 (Poland), rather than A1 (Poland) (which is a redirect). That seems to me to be the model to follow. Call them ‘Autostrada A999’ where no disambiguation is needed, and then ‘Autostrada A999 (Italy)’ when there is a conflict. Though of course I’d have nothing against A999 (Italy) being a redirect. —Ian Spackman (talk) 20:16, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
