Talk:Arbirlot Primary School

message: I have reverted the redirect for this school. It has a very long history, and plenty of sources will no doubt exist. Lack of sourcing is no reason to redirect an article. Dahliarose (talk) 19:48, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No, but lack of notability resulting in non-existence of sources is. If no decent sources can be found in a week or two I will redirect again. --John (talk) 20:50, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've no had a chance to have a quick look for sources. Both the school and the schoolhouse are listed buildings on the register of the The Royal Commission on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland . The content is verifiable and I see no reason to redirect a fledgeling article. Dahliarose (talk) 21:04, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice work. The subject clearly meets notability if the building is listed. On another note, less good news. The link to the Statistical account of Scotland looks like a reference but is actually just a link to our article on the subject. The best I could find was this which doesn't confirm the information in the article. Any thoughts? --John (talk) 22:18, 13 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Alvin Nnabuife

message: On November 14, 2004, the Dallas Morning News, published two articles about Nnabuife.  The titles were "Linebacker provides happy returns for Mustangs SMU 38, NEVADA 20," and "Mustangs make it two wins in a row SMU 38, NEVADA 20 Nnabuife scores on two fumble returns to spark third-quarter surge." The articles report on a game in which Nnabuife, playing in his second game at linebacker, scored on two fumble returns to spark a third-quarter surge for SMU.  It was an unusual feat for a defensive player to score two touchdowns in one quarter.  Also, one of the fumble returns was for an SMU school-record 95-yards. Nnabuife also became the first SMU player to score two touchdowns on fumble recoveries in a game.  Anyone choosing to look this up might find some good information to use in improving the article.

replies: text: I think your point is valid in so far as he is perhaps best known in popular mythology for his place in the Roman genealogical scheme and the Aeneid, but he is a prominent figure in Greek mythology first and foremost.  The vast majority of ancient texts that mention him are Greek, and the currency of the Roman side of things on the street will be from traditions below the Aeneid-crook in the hourglass of the mythographical corpus. I'd stick with Aphrodite, and Venus and Rome are already prominent enough in this small article.  davidiad.:τ 19:26, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Wikipedia Project

message: Well, Wikipedia is  and pronunciations usually go at Wiktionary entries. That said, it's probably useful for our readers to learn that this is the hard Grecian /kʰ/ and not the usual /tʃ/ they might be expecting. That said, there's absolutely no reason to have the (unsourced, supposed) ancient Greek pronunciation /aŋkʰíːsɛːs/ here instead of at Wiktionary. Anyone wanting to delve that deeply into linguistics should head over there where they can break it down by Attic, Koine, dialect, etc. — LlywelynII 04:35, 23 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Software lockout

message: There's several things about this article which strike me as a bit iffy, but I'm not a computer scientist so I don't want to start chopping away.
#The references to "idle wait" in kernel-level critical sections. I don't know of any architecture that does this; spinlocks ie. "busy waits" are standard in kernel space.
#"Typical values for L/E range from 0.01 to 0.1." The reference for this statement is from 1968! By a conservative estimate, computers have gotten at least a billion times faster since then.
#The article treats the hardware itself as being contention-free, suggesting an overly theoretical bias; in practice hardware-level contention has informed the development of Linux and presumably other multi-threaded kernels.
#"Software lockout is the major cause of scalability degradation in a multiprocessor system"--if this were true we could just run a distinct kernel image on each processor of a NUMA system, consider the problem solved, and take the rest of the day off to play golf.
--192.68.228.4 23:23, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Spinlocks are often used in kernel space, but shouldn't be used unless the typical time for the wait is less than, say, the time for a context switch; I think at least some systems have "adaptive" locks that spin for a little while and then block to allow the CPU to go do something else, if it looks as if the lock won't get released for a while.  In any case, it's a "busy wait" only in the sense that the CPU is busy spinning its wheels; it's not as if the CPU is doing useful work while spinning.  Perhaps it should just refer to "wait times".

message: Not sure if it's just the scope / title (as a phenomenon) which overlaps with several topics kernel :concurrency, scalability, :giant lock (see previous merge request), or just needs checking as it's a bit incoherent and presents outdated data (from the 60s) without context in "Analytical studies", and "Software lockout mitigation" e.g. "Many uniprocessor systems..." . Although the CS is timeless, there's a lack of context/perspective and scope overlap which should be considered, and a merge and/or copyedit done. Widefox; talk 15:08, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

2. "Minos led a war against Athens to avenge the death of his son, but failed to sack the city".

thread_title:  Two colours, one game 

message: Saying Dogen was attempting to court the layperson isn't wrong, but it is like saying a coin has one side.  Shouldn't an article on Koan not include discussion on it outside of Aiken's sociological/political interpretation?  Dogen is quoted as saying:
:Those who say "one does not fall into cause and effect" deny causation, thereby falling into the lower realms. Those who say "one cannot ignore cause and effect" clearly identify with cause and effect. When people hear about identifying with cause and effect, they are freed from the lower realms. Do not doubt this. Many of our contemporaries who consider themselves students of Zen deny causation. How do we know? They confuse "not ignoring" with "not falling into." Thus we know they deny cause and effect.
By this Dogen is diving into his earlier position, that there is no cause and effect, to recognize the reality of not-no-cause-and-effect ('deny') and no-cause-and-effect ('affirm').  This is a recognition of what is, attachment to one position or another regarding "one does not fall into cause and effect" by denying or affirming the polar opposite position.  The current article only talks about Aiken's thought Dogen wants to win over the laypeople.  Not wrong and not complete. --danielkaplan123 10 May 2012  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Danielkaplan123 (talk • contribs) 15:55, 10 May 2012 (UTC)
