Talk:Comet (goldfish)

message: hello,
i have a comet fish.
they live indoors.
i am not sure if this is cruel.
if it is please contact me.
-- I would imagine that this is only cruel if you are not keeping them in water :) I have comet goldfish in a rather small tank myself however they are but babies! When they are larger I would insist on putting them in a much much larger tank or outside depending on weather. Comets don't like getting very hot so I don't know how they hold up in summer months in an outside pond. SwordRaven 19:57, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Living Spaces 

message: I have a question.  Is there any effect on a ponds water and the comet goldfish when it rains?
-- Depends on the chemical make-up of the rain itself, if it is fairly acidic then in large amounts it may affect the fish. Generally however I don't think that there should be much in the way of problems. SwordRaven 19:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Carp are naturally pond fish, not tropicals. You can see that in the fact that the newsgroup about ponds caters to aquaria. You can probably find an answer more easily than ask it, because the question strikes me as a way to either cause or treat disease like ichthyo -sporidum or -phthiriosity.

Talk:Devil Lady

message: Can someone verify any of the differences between the anime and the manga, as i can only fix how it's written, not verify any info, not having read the manga. -- Zerophyte 20:20, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Anime/Manga

message: Most anime listed on Wikipedia are under the Japanese name.
The proper title for this anime, in my opinion is "Devilman Lady", which though only slightly different is the original title - ("Debiruman Redii").
This is rather arguable... I understand that it might be difficult to find an article from the Japanese name if one is only familiar with the US title, but it is just as hard if one is doing a lot of online research on sites that only list the original title, and is therefore unfamiliar with, or even unaware of a Western release. 
Also, many an anime is listed that is not licensed, and therefore has only a Japanese, or at least a transliterated Eigo name, and it seems to me that in the interests of consistency the original name should be the standard.

message: As shown in the evidence presented by me in the arbitration case against LB, he used the IP 24.68.243.40 before he registred his first account. He started editing from this IP on 8th september 2005. I've updated the main page to reflect this fact. WegianWarrior 06:39, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

message: As of today, we know of five IPs used by Lightbringer:
*User:216.184.122.12 - used by LB and possible by others - resolves to Miami, Florida, USA, and is owned by Telefonica Centroamerica. Possible a sat-link provider or open proxy.
*User:24.68.240.98 - used exlusivly by LB - resolves to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and is owned by Shaw Communications Inc.
*User:24.68.242.147 - used exlusivly by LB - resolves to Calgary, Alberta, Canada, and is owned by Shaw Communications Inc.
*User:24.68.243.40 - used exlusivly by LB, and the IP he used before registering an account - resolves to Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and is owned by Shaw Communications Inc. Note that this is likely to be, or have been, his 'native' IP.
*User:58.69.0.70 - used exlusivly by LB - resolves to Manila, Philippines, and is probably owned by Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company. Likely to be an open proxy.
Overall, it seems likely that Lightbringer comes from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and uses Shaw Communications Inc as his ISP. This is based on the following facts:
*His firsts edits was from the IP 24.68.243.40, thus it's likely to be his 'native' IP
*Two out of four IPs used exlusivly by Lightbringer is traced to Victoria.
*Three out of four IPs used exlusivly by Lightbringer is traced to Shaw Communications Inc.

Talk:Distributed objects

message: It would  make sense to have an generic article on distributed objects (Microsoft DCOM, Java RMI, CORBA etc.), but that's a substantial article to write.  Does someone intend to take that on?  Is the original author intending to fill in this stub?
There's something to be said for addressing this in Wikipedia.  DCOM, RMI, and CORBA all do roughly the same thing: create objects on a remote machine and then talk to them. Yet there's no common term for this. Is "Distributed objects" the name to use to address this?

Talk:Order (exchange)

message: "A stop order (sometimes known as a stop loss order) is an order to buy or sell a stock once the price of the stock reaches a specified price, known as the stop price.  When the specified price is reached, the stop order is entered as a market order.  "
This is not exactly true.  We use stops in futures.  In that case it is not an order to buy or sell a stock. GT
"Stop orders are designed"
Designed by whom.  Stops were probably developed by exchanges to make more profits just like every other investor innovation.  It is misleading and untrue.  Will someone please clean this up?     GT
"to limit an investor's losses in the event of an unexpected drop in the price of a security." 
If the previous line is true "buy or sell," then a stop to buy, would not protect speculators or investors from a drop.  They could have been short.  The stop is protecting from a rise.  This stop order explantion is to restrictive and one sided.  What does it mean when the floor runs the stops? GT

thread_title: Stop order

message: Why should I make a stop-limit order?  Full Decent 15:51, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because of short-term market fluctuations.  It might be easier to consider a scenario.  Let's say that you put in a regular stop order to sell a security when the price drops below $10/share.  At 12:48 on Monday, the price drops to $9.85.  Your stop order now kicks in and will be executed in minutes or hours (depending on the service level offered by your broker).  During that time, the price continues to move.  When the broker finally makes the trade, he/she will do so at whatever price is available at that time, regardless of whether the price of the stock has already rebounded back into the range that you considered acceptable or has already plummetted to nothing.  With a stop-limit order, you can set more specific guidance on how the broker should act for you.  Rossami (talk) 17:06, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Distributive efficiency

message: Nikodemos removed the section on criticism saying in the edit summary "this is really irrelevant to the theory; obviously maximizing utility will only matter to those who care about utility."  I think this section should stay in.  I think the section is very relevant to the theory.  The theory rests on the concept of utility, which is often used in economics but has its origins in utilitarianism.  I think people often take for granted that so much of economic thought relies on this particular moral philosophy, and a little reminder is worthwhile, not just as a criticism, but as background information. Also, please leave in the Friedman reference.  His article had a good short description of distributive efficiency which I used to make the article.  His reference is not only connected to the criticism section.--Bkwillwm 07:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Anon comments in article

message: An IP editor has added a section on "other criticisms." The section basically challenges the concept of distributive efficiency based on opposition to interpersonal utility. This section, at the very least, as issues with WP:Weight and WP:POV since it expresses a view that interpersonal utility measures make "law of diminishing marginal utility... irrelevant." At best, this is a minority view that not should be expressed definitively. The given references are an improvement over an uncited section, but I don't see much in these sources that address distributive efficiency. The section seems to be a WP:Synthesis problem.
The last sentence is particularly bad, since it declares a theory is "baseless" based on a law review article that notes some criticism of interpersonal utility. This is clearly a WP:Weight issue. The other citations in this section are simiarly problematic. See [this citation http://econlog.econlib.org/archives/2012/07/barro_on_margin.html], which has a blog post noting two conservatives who support the idea of diminishing marginal utility, but apparently we're supposed to accept the opinion of the other conservative who disagrees with them as definitive. Also, any sources that don't mention distributive efficiency have WP:Synthesis issues since they don't directly address the topic of the article.--Bkwillwm (talk) 06:05, 14 December 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I've attempted to verify the information, and it appears to me too that Qeqertarsuatsiaq indeed does not refer to Disko Island. I've tried to verify the true identity of Qeqertarsuatsiaq, and unfortunately the answer is unclear, as I've found a number of references:
* not specified on map, seems an area on land near Fiskenæsset at approximately 63,08N 50,40W, 
*  Identifies it as a 'nedbo' (abandoned settelment?) at 68.15°N, 53.1°W
*  identifies it as a steep cliff at 70,38;-54,8167
None of them match a small island in the Davis Strait, though it does not disprove of course that there is an island of that name there. Can anyone else offer more referenced information on this?
