Talk:RL

message: I'm rather confused.  I know that for deterministic machines, we have DSPACE(f(n)) \subset DTIME(2^f(n)) because in 2^f(n) steps, we can step through every possible configuration of the tape (since is bounded in size by f(n)).  So  running any longer than that means entering a previously tape configuration, which is useless.
There are polynomially many configurations of logarithmic space; this is why L \subseteq P.  What makes the above argument invalid for randomized time?  That is, how could RL take more than polynomial time? --Saforrest 05:27, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Interstate-85

message: This region is NOT a megalopolis. The definition of a megalopolis is a group of contiguous, densely populated metropolitan areas that combine to form a large urban complex. The region from Boston, Massachusetts to Washington, D.C. fits this definition as it is very densely populated most of the way down. However, south of D.C., the population density rapidly goes down (albeit is growing). Some would argue that Richmond, Virginia might be added to this northern "megalopolis" in the near future, but the rapidly expanding population of northern Virginia hasn't quite gotten that far yet. South of Richmond, which is where I-85 begins, is largely open rural space in between several major metropolitan areas. It is most definitely NOT a contiguous collection of densely populated metro areas.
Historically, the only time this term has been used to describe regions of the United States is by Jean Gottman in 1957, to describe the huge urban area along the eastern seaboard of the United States from Boston to Washington, D.C. According to Gottman, it resulted from changes in work and social habits.

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Japan-related articles/Cities

message: For cities, use the form [[{city-name}, {prefecture-name}]]; for example, Otaru, Hokkaido. An exceptions is that titles for major cities have been controversial; Nagasaki, Nagasaki vs Nagasaki?
On Wikipedia:Requested moves there have been a number of proposed moves going from both "City, Prefecture" to "City" (Nagasaki) and "City" to "City, Prefecture" (Hiroshima, Kyoto).  The present wording of the manual of style is ambiguous at best.  I would support removing the phrase An exceptions is that titles for major cities have been controversial; Nagasaki, Nagasaki vs Nagasaki? (this phrase needs to be cleaned up anyway if we're going to keep it) and supporting a 100% "City, Prefecture" style .CES 19:51, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Good catch, CES. It does have to be cleaned up, and my preference is to clean it up with article titles all in the format city-name, prefecture-name but of course with appropriate redirects, e.g. Nara redirecting to Nara, Nara (not to Nara Prefecture). Fg2 03:24, May 4, 2005 (UTC)
How would people feel if I remove the sentence An exceptions is that titles for major cities have been controversial; Nagasaki, Nagasaki vs Nagasaki? to make our position on place names a little more concrete? CES 02:46, 10 May 2005 (UTC)

text: Is anyone still watching this page?  I didn't get feedback except from Fg2, but I went ahead and removed the sentence in question.  It would be nice if we could reach a consensus on what we think is the proper form for cities, more specifically if certain cities deserve exceptions.  Personally I agree with Fg2 and I think all cities should be "City, Prefecture" ... to the best of my knowledge only Hiroshima, Kyoto, and now Nagasaki are just named "City".

thread_title:  Raging Place Names Controversy: Cities 

message: This is kind of beating dead horse. But we have to settle this on.
There has been a debate on the titles of some city articles in Japan. Some prefer a uniform "city, prefecture" form, while others do just "city" for major cities like Nagasaki and Hiroshima. It seems that consensus has yet to be reached. You are asked if we want such an exception. See also Talk:Nagasaki. Please vote. -- Taku 01:15, Jun 22, 2005 (UTC)
* No exception; "city, prefecture"
** +: It is easy to remember and follow. Thus, there is no confusion for both contributors and readers.
** +: This is conventional elsewhere; e.g., Chicago, Illinois
** +: This is a standard for writing an address in English. See Japanese addressing system.
** -: Some titles appear silly, like Hiroshima, Hiroshima for some people.
** Taku - Consistency is important.

thread_title: Conlang Wikiportal

message: I have done some work on updating  recently. It now has some options that are designed to make it suitable for use for constructed languages. I have updated the ne design on the articles on a number of conlangs (see Esperanto, Interlingua, Ido or Quenya for examples). The colour coding for conlangs is black with white text. There are no plans to allow different types of conlangas to be differentiated by different colours. This is because the template deals with all languages, and there has to be a limit to the number of colours we use (English and Kurdish are both the same shade of green for example). I would hope that more conlangs feel free to make use of the template. Please give me feedback and suggestions about it. In the case of international auxiliary languages, there is often a regulatory body for the language, but no state where it is an official language. Currently, calling  also displays a field for official language (because this is most often the case for natural languages). I would like to know what might be a better use for this official status field for conlangs. --Gareth Hughes 12:13, 24 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Company is still around 

message: This article may be doing the subject a disservice by neglecting to mention the feature of these historic maps that in recent years has attracted broad interest: The artistic value of their title pages. 
The page on the Library of Congress site containing introductory material about its collection of Sanborn maps has scant mention of the title pages, but does say that the ones included with "large-city maps issued in one or more volumes" are often "a visual delight of ornate typography and design."
In particular, the ones published around the turn of the last century, and for a few decades after, feature the hand-lettered and engraved name of a city and the words "Sanborn Map Publishing Co." in an intricate, dimensional style that seems to carry that art nouveau calligraphy to levels far beyond the usual whiskey bottles and tavern signage with which the style is generally associated. Starting out as the fancy bugs on Page 1 of each city's map, these later came to occupy an entire page by themselves, and as the 20th century progressed, it is evident in the lettering style, which became less florid and more spiky (though maintaining the artist's painstaking attention to detail) as the art deco influence continuted to percolate through American culture.
