message: Is there any connection between the use of the name Paul Giamatti in the late Robert Parker's novels for a dancer/actor that Spenser befriends and supports (and who later outs himself as gay) and this performer? I've wondered if Parker knew the original actor, or had some particular reason for using the name, or if it's just coincidental. One would have to study the dates of publication and other stuff to see if that's even possible, but it might be worth pursuing.173.14.170.177 (talk) 18:37, 25 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Variable binding operator

message: Sometimes I think double redirects, that won't "work" are the right thing.  I've redirected variable binding operator to variable-binding operator, which in turn redirects to free variables and bound variables.  The point is that if at some future time it should become oportune to write an article titled variable-binding operator, the hyphen is the orthographically right form, because it prevents and ambiguity: is it a "binding operator" that is variable (no) or an operator that binds a variable (yes)?

Talk:Arsenal Gear

message: Am I imagining things, or does most of this article come directly (with some tense-shifting) from in-game CODEC dialogue? <Sockatume><T>
Huh, you're right. I checked with a text dump of the codec conversations, and it matches up quite neatly. For example, compare the following CODEC dialogue with the first few lines of the article:
* "Arsenal. We're talking about an impregnable fortress carrying a load of over a couple of thousand missiles including nuclear warheads -- all protected by a horde of mass-produced Metal Gear RAY units. [...] Arsenal Gear has full access to the Military's Tactical Network, giving it the ability to exercise absolute control over our nation's armed forces, not to mention our nuclear armament. In short, Arsenal was created to be the core of our country."
Definitely not public domain. In light of this, it should probably be added to VfD unless someone's willing to clean up the article a lot. αγδεε(τ) 04:24, 2004 Sep 20 (UTC)
I'll sit down and hammer out a more original (and shorter) version at some point. As with MGS2's plot detail, there may be a more succinct version in another, related article.

Talk:Master of Urban Planning

message: A doctorate degree in urban planning does not qualify one for certification as an urban planner in most jurisdictions.
Is this correct?  A doctorate can't be used, but a masters can?  Or am I misreading it?  Thanks!  Michael 
---This just means that can't sit for the certification exam by the AICP simply on the grounds of their doctorate.  They must still accumulate the req. experience.--
134.84.96.142 (talk) 22:32, 13 April 2008 (UTC
I think the article is suggesting that without accreditation by one of the main planning institutes it will be difficult to get a job as a 'certified planner'. MUP programs are usually considered 'professional entry' degrees because most people do not continue to PHD studies in urban planning. Generally, if you get a doctorate in planning you will be doing research/academia work rather than working in a planning office.  
Alternatively, you can get a PHD in a related(cognate) field of study that often can bridge the gap between arts and science degrees.  For example, a MUP student can continue on to do a PHD in Urban Design, Environmental Science, Population Health, ECT.(J03K64 (talk) 08:38, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Culliford

message: Strangely enough, the information here seems to contradict the one found on the William Kidd page, which names Robert Culliford as the first Pirate Captain Kidd came upon. Anyone knows more about either of them?
-Ghilz 23:29, Sep 19, 2004 (UTC)
: Both are correct.  Culliford mutinied and stole Kidd's first ship, and the first pirate that Kidd went after when he was a "pirate hunter" was Culliford.  Later on, Culliford took much of Kidd's crew.  They had many contacts. -Vina 19:27, 20 Sep 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: False.  The Quedagh Merchant was an Armenian ship, and had Armenian papers.  Kidd excused its capture by the fact that the English captain had purchased passes from the French East India Company to guarantee French protection, and presented those passes when Kidd showed French colors, but that hardly made it a French ship or a legal capture.Pirate Dan (talk) 17:06, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Presenting French passes when challenged would have been sufficient for an Admiralty court to condemn it as a valid prize, but Kidd plundered more ships than just Rouparelle and Quedagh Merchant so he would have been convicted anyway.TheLastBrunnenG (talk) 19:25, 7 April 2022 (UTC)
