Talk:Anal abscess

message: On December 28th, I made the massive overhaul of the anal abscess article that is the current revision.  The total length of the article was at least tripled, I added a section on differential diagnosis, and increased the breadth and depth of the already existing sections.  
My aim here was to meet the spirit of Wikipedia in full, while at the same time providing ample information for the patient potentially suffering from this extraordinarily painful condition (which is probably why the article was punched up in the first place) to be able to suspect, and act, on this condition, if present.  When I began suffering from this condition a few days before Christmas, the first thing I did was punch up this article when I suspected I might have such an abscess.  Unfortunately, the article well-described one person's experience with the disorder, and as mine did not match very closely, I delayed several more days in seeking treatment.  I have maintained the contributions of the previous author, but have added a general description that will be applicable to any type of anal abscess.  Not only the original author's abscess is now described, but, I feel, most anal abscesses anyone is likely to have are now described.
Please keep in mind, future editors, that the most likely reason for someone punching up this article is that he/she suspects that he/she (or someone else) has an anal abscess, and that any additional statements or information given should be useful to assisting such a person.

This is a good article.  It goes along exactly with what happened to me.  I would like to add that I also had a fistula, and the recovery time is a little longer in that case.
----------
I also had a fistula and am currently recovering from surgery. from what my doctor has told me, abscesses are almost certain to turn into fistulas if left untreated.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Raisedinhell (talk • contribs) 06:27, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

message: I think it is generally recognised, as a convention at least, that the Second World War started in the late Summer/early Autumn of 1939, regardless of the entry of other nations into the conflict. In the same way the First World War started in July/August 1914.  Therefore, implying that WWII started with the entry of the USA (as in this article) is a commonly repeated error.

Talk:Pylos (board game)

message: "The winner is the player who saves the most marbles and is thus the last to complete the pyramid."
This statement is incorrect. Running out of marbles does not necessarily make you unable to complete the pyramid. Equally, being the last player with marbles left does not necessarily make you be able to complete the pyramid. Sadly, the rules as provided with the game are ambiguous, so there's not much that can be done to resolve this.— 212.44.26.44 (talk) 12:28, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Pallanguzhi

message: QUOTE There are a total of 14 cups and 146 counters. 12 counters are placed in each cup except the middle of each row into which only 2 counters are placed. UNQUOTE
Please clarify if it is 2 counters in each middle or 1 counter in each middle? If the former, then the total counters add up to 148.
QUOTE If the last counter falls into a cup with an empty cup beyond, the counters in the cup beyond the empty hole are captured by the player and put into his store. That player then continues play from the next cup containing counters. If the last counter falls into a cup with two empty holes beyond, he captures no counters and his turn is over. UNQUOTE
This leads to a long play by a single player before the change in the turn. After the capture (irrespective of zero or more) into store, the turn should be over. SRamasam (talk) 08:24, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Error in "Starting position" 

message: There is a game similar to Do-Guti with a similar name called Do-quti which is also played in India, but no specific region is mentioned.  Do-quti was described in Games of the World: How to Make Them, How to Play Them, How They Came to Be by Frederic V. Grunfeld (Editor) (1975).  They may be the same game, but the description is a bit vague.  It does mention that the board consist of only 5 points, specifically a 3 x 3 square board, but with only the four corner points and the center point available for use (thus the middle points of the four sides of the board are disregarded).  Each player has two balls, and he places them on any two vacant points on the board provided that they are adjacent to one another, i.e., they are connected by a line between them and with no point inbetween them.  The book however does not provide a specific diagram for Do-quti, but as mentioned earlier, it does suggest using a 3 x 3 square board, and diagramed in the book is a 3 x 3 square board with line segments (edges) connected to each adjacent (intersection) point.   This is what makes the rules vague, as we don't know if the removal of the middle points of each of the four sides of the board also means that no edge runs between each of the four corner points (or that some pair of corner points have edges connecting them, but other pairs do not).  In Do-Guti (as in  Pong Hau K'i and Ou-moul-ko-no or Umul Gonu), only one pair of corner points is missing an edge between them.  The rest of the rules is the same as that of Pong Hau K'i, and Do-quti is specifically mentioned as a game with no captures with the goal of blocking your opponents pieces from moving.  Anyone reading this might want to verify if this is indeed a variant or the same game as Do-Guti (or Pong Hau K'i et al) as I can't find any other sources for this game.

There is another Morris game Twelve Men's Morris which has the same board and the same number of pieces as this game. Are these rules different for these two games? SmithBlue (talk) 13:24, 10 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The game is exactly 12 Men's Morris, even the name Morabaraba is derivitive of "morris". Be warey of promotional sites which overemphasize popularity of the game in Africa and misrepresent it as some sort of indigenous game. Most people in South Africa have never heard of it. In cities those few who have heard of it would typically know of it as an old obscure English game and are not aware that Africans play it. Those in rural ares who do actively play are are typically unaware of its British origin. Kuratowski's Ghost (talk) 13:25, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The rules of the game slighly differ from British 12 Men's Morris. The name Morabaraba is NOT related to "morris" (a South African mancala game is called Moruba, btw), and while some sites may overemphasize its popularity, the statement above clearly downplays its importance. Morris variants played with 12 counters are also known from Zimbabwe, Somalia, Armenia, India and Mongolia. Actually Morris seems to exist in Africa as an indigenous game independent of European colonialism. There have been reports of South African Morris board scratched into the rock that are at least 800 years old. Maybe the legend of British origin is based on racist bias - white South Africans also claimed that the ruins of villages (archaeological sites) built of stone could impossibly be constructed by Black Africans and invented wild theories to explain them (e.g. the Queen of Saba made them).84.175.173.33 (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2013 (UTC)

message: Also, its resource system is quite different from mainstream RTS games; Oil Derricks are established over specific, scarce locations which constantly provide a slow, fixed rate of income. Combined with a mission time limit, this resource method prevents players from simply waiting for long periods of time to amass surplus resources and ridiculously large armies. 
*The section in bold is highly inaccurate - with proper time management, it is possible to do both. However, doing it in the traditional manner (simply waiting in your base and letting enemy forces come to you and be shredded by your defenses and in-base units, a/k/a "turtling") is not possible. Thus, I've changed the bolded section in the main article to reflect this. --Special Operative MACAVITYDebrief me 16:53, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

:Hi.  I redirected this to Newton's identities because the article Power sum (lower-case "s") redirects to there.  Therefore I assumed this must be the same thing.  If you want to write an article about this, I think it should be at power sum because that's standard capitalisation on Wikipedia with this page (Power Sum) as a redirect to there.
