Talk:Window manager

message: This article should be merger with X window manager as they both serve the same purpose. This article covers the same subject and there is no real need for it. The Windows specific sections of this article could be put into a new section in the X window manager article named something like "Other Platform Window Managers". bobbo (talk) 21:39, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Merger Proposal 

message: The vast majority of X window managers do not include taskbars, docks or desktop icons. Also, in my opinion these parts really have nothing to do with a window manager's main task: managing windows (i.e drawing frames, allowing repositioning of windows etc.). Should these features really be mentioned as being part of window mangers in general?
Pafcu (talk) 08:24, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. While these features may come with various window manager software, they are not features of a "window manager", just as card games are not a feature of an "operating system" despite their inclusion in Microsoft Windows. Edit. —Centrx→talk • 21:42, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

I think (I hope!) it still captures the original intended meaning, since the only "regions with significant populations" of speakers of Indo-Aryan languages listed in the article Indo-Aryans are all in South Asia.

Talk:Holy Island, Firth of Clyde

message: Ponies, sheep and Goats.
I just found an article with the names of varieties of Sheep Goat and Ponies on Holy Isle. All rather special. While there are no entries for Soay sheep or Eriskay ponies yet there are entries for Soay and Eriskay, and they have dead links to the sheep and ponies. So I have put deadlinks in too. Is that right? At the moment it would be more helpful to put  Eriskay ponies but not so good in the long term. I'm not going to write the article on Eriskay pony, I've just met them on Holy Isle. What can I say? "They were very nice, if a bit timid". As for Soay sheep [] some one please make a start. Nothing on Sanann goats so left in goat.
By the way the article also mentions seals, butterflies, cormorants and oystercatchers, and yes they were all there, but not quite as notable. I have heard a rumour there is a temporate coral reef in Lamlash bay which is far more interesting. 
By the way yes 130.88.96.66 was me. (Logged in on one Mozilla tab but not the other. Strange)

replies: text: There's nothing wrong with red links, providing one can have a resonable expectation that someone will one day write an article for said thing.  There's pretty extensive coverage of breeds of cats and dogs, and I think for races of bee, but not so much for other animals.  A brief google suggests that both eriskay ponies and soay sheep are indeed breeds in their own right, so I think the red links are fine.  But remember that you can start an article without having to finish it - it's quite reasonable just to write a two sentence stub with an external link or two (google shall provide).  Of course one reasonably would add links to them in pony and sheep respectively, and before you know it you've been sucked off into sheepland.  There appears to be an artificial reef at Lamlash, btw  - heck, that page alone (reefballs!) would make a great wikipedia subject. -- Finlay McWalter |  Talk 23:49, 3 Aug 2004 (UTC)

I disagree. A better comparison is merging "communicating in sign language" with "sign language".
