message: The line "Williams has appeared as Preston "Bodie" Broadus in the first four seasons of The Wire" is a virtual spoiler.

Talk:Lobbying in the United States

message: The article mentioned in the 2nd paragraph states 
"Lobbying can have an important influence on the political system; for example, a study in 2014 suggested that special interest lobbying enhanced the power of elite groups and was a factor shifting the nation's political structure toward an oligarchy in which average citizens have "little or no independent influence".[4]". 
I believe that this should be edited slightly or taken out. The article in question is very controversial in how the data was interpreted. Despite this, the above statement does little to indicate that the study is anything other than fact. It should either be taken out or followed up by a statement as to why it is controversial.

thread_title:  Addressing Study in article 

message: The "Lobbying as a business" section of this article has an image with the caption, "Defense contractors such as Boeing and Lockheed Martin sell extensively to the government and must, of necessity, engage in lobbying to win contracts." Fair enough. But the image chosen for this caption seems odd: it shows a McDonnell Douglas DC-10 airliner being assembled, way back in 1974. It's a nice image, but it has little to do with defense or lobbying for defense contracts. Surely something more directly connected to the defense activities of Boeing or Lockheed Martin, like the F-35 fighter, would be more appropriate?

Talk:GNU/Linux naming controversy/Archive 1

message: "Identifying the userland provides a stronger definition of the operating system. This can be important, for example, for the basis of determining compatibility. As explained below, Linux need not have a GNU library and userland, and a non-GNU Linux-based operating system can be very different from a GNU one. A piece of software advertised as being "compatible with Linux" will most likely work with Linux plus the GNU tools (the most popular configuration), but will not necessarily work with Linux plus uClibc."

thread_title:  Components of the GNU system 

message: One of the core claims has always been that GNU was a complete system for which the HURD was the final piece, and Linux (the kernel) used the GNU framework to rush to completion.
While I agree that GNU deserved massive kudos for their compiler toolchain (GCC, GAS, binutils, GLibc, gdb, flex, bison, autoconf, make) and for the development of one of the two most commonly used editors (EMACS), I do not understand this assertion that GNU was in any way a complete system. I contributed to GNU in small ways in the early 90s. I spoke with Stallman on a number of occasions, and GNU was in no way a complete system pre-Linux. It lacked a boot loader, system initialization framework (e.g. UNIX "init"), and many other tools which the GNU/HURD project intended on using BSD components for in the first revision. It also lacked any high-level user-interface software (X11 had been developed by MIT in the 1980s, and so they planned to use that).
To be encyclopedic and to represent a neutral point of view, I think it is important to note that GNU/Hurd was not a complete system awaiting a kernel, but rather a build framework capable of supporting kernel development, which is just what Linus used it for. The fact that it then became the heart of a build framework for the rest of the operating system commonly called "Linux" today is actually entirely beside the point. -Harmil 20:10, 22 July 2005 (UTC)

message: This should say something about how partitioning of sum of squares into explained + residual relates to the idea that total variance is sum of variances of individual contributing factors.

A better expression would be "one of the highest-ranking British officers to die in the war".

In Al Deere's "Nine Lives" book he mentions a pre D-Day briefing given by the then AOC, Arthur Conningham. While in charge of the RAF over North Africa Conningham developed the "textbook" on Air-Army cooperation, he also had a good working relationship with Tedder and Eisenhower from their time in the mediterranean campaign.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mccrora (talk • contribs) 15:12, 1 September 2010 (UTC)
