Talk:Information/Archive 1

message: There is a sentence in the Information is not data paragraph that says (seemingly out of nowhere)
:"This is why a computer will calculate the average employee number even though it is meaningless"
Was there some context to this that I missed?  What is this "average employee number" that is mentioned? Doesn't make sense to me, but then again, I could be missing something... kostmo 05:35, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Negentropy

message: Perhaps the article should explain the relationship a bit more?
Information is supposedly some kind of superficial state existing within our minds, but apparently knowledge and information can be affected by quantum physics, and speed of transmission cannot exceed the speed of light, even if it were procuring information from clues that are in space, very far apart. 
There is also the theory that emerges in the field of quantum computing that destroying information yields heat, (ie. merging two paths which have values of 1 and zero each, into a single path of 1) as though information is like energy, not a mere recognition of facts, nor the state of our minds. Then there is information entropy, as well. 
What exactly IS information then? Why would it be affected by physics if it was just a superficial state? And if it isn't superficial, it can't be a mere message, pattern or sensory input, now can it?  
Would anyone with expertise on this write about this a bit more?
: I put in a few lines which might clarify things, including a link to Maxwells demon. I took out the text about interference and quantum computers as I don't think it is the heat generated that causes interference, but simply that a quantum operation has to be reversible (in other words information cannot be lost), otherwise it stops being a quantum operation. That is why AND gates are not permitted. Entropy and heat generation of AND gates are seperate non-quantum ideas, though the two concepts are closely linked. Couldn't think of a way to put this clearly, so I took the easy way out and left it for the Quantum computer page to explain. 
: I also put in a reference to Alg Inf Theory alongside shannon theory, but if the "Measuring information" section is a part of "Information as a message" rather than a seperate section this is probably out of place. Rattle 00:26, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Discuss the content, not the editors 

message: After reading all comments to the proposed lead section, it seems to me that the first sentence of the proposed lead is acceptable for most people. However, the second line is clearly not. As such, would the following lead be acceptable to everybody:
:Israeli apartheid (or calling Israel an apartheid state) is a controversial phrase used by some critics of Israel to describe the country's policies towards the Palestinian and Israeli Arab populations. Critics of the term see it as a political epithet and argue that it is historically inaccurate, offensive, antisemitic, and that it is used as justification for terrorist attacks against Israel.
From a NPOV, I think this lead is acceptable, but I could be wrong in that. Please comment if you agree or diagree, so that we can move forward. (Whether I myself agree with this lead will remain upin the air as that is not relevant at all)-- Kim van der Linde at venus 02:26, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Heijunka box

message: Ive added this page as well as a related page on Heijunka. In Lean production the Japanese invented many simply efficiency tools based on some good concepts. For those wondering about a merge with Heijunka, I don't beleive this would be appropriate, as this would be based mainly on the name of the two pages being similar but the underlying items are different, One is a concept while one is a tool (In the same way that 'time management' is a concept, while 'time sheet' is a tool).

Added See Also links, cats, etc. Because the ship's career was so extended, being decommisioned after each task, I added years to the chapter headings to show depth of career.

thread_title:  Number of guns 

message: Hello! I came here because, this morning I saw the episode of "The Twilight Zone" titled, "Judgment Night" set aboard the, "S.S. Queen of Glasgow". I saw her name in that list, I read the article about the episode too, and then I saw the section about "JAG/NCIS" and I noticed that it hasn't been updated to list the, "USS Brandywine" as recently featured in an episode of "NCIS" where it was a type of aircraft carrier. Hmm. I'm thinking they used the "USS Tarawa" as their visual aid for exterior shots, while the interior looked like that of the SS Victory Lane, again. As for the "SS Queen of Glasgow", the episode article correctly refers to her as a cargo ship, while the list of fictional ships, refers to her as a passenger ship. She was a cargo ship that had taken on a few passengers, despite not being designed for them. I just thought I'd pass long this data to you all. LeoStarDragon1 (talk) 22:51, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Panchkula

message: This article is very low quality. I don't know what all it contains. It is not a telephone directory. All the hospitals, schools, hotels and everything which has been mentioned, either needs to be deleted, or arranged in proper tables, or even new articles, if necessary. There is too much information about Chandigarh, and not Panchkula. Only three references are there in a long article, that too websites of hotels. The sectioning is not proper. The 'Tourist Attraction' is another section and the places mentioned have their own sections. It also looks like an advertisement. For an example, the 'Pinjore Gardens' section states: Pinjore gardens deserve a special mention." There are lots more!  Please if anyone is up for improving it, it would be of great help.

message: The following paragraph is completely unnecessary, in its' entirety. It does not contribute to the article and I intend to delete it, but I'd like to avert an edit war by discussing it here. 
:However, other transwomen never undergo SRS even if they can afford it, or come to accept their genitalia, because they consider the surgery to be "just not worth it". Some transwomen like the genitalia with which they were born, and have said so themselves.
The preceding section reads 'Many transwomen are offended by this term, they dislike this term for one or all of the following reasons' and this paragragh does not modify the previous point, not support the issue (why the term is offensive). It is instead a remnant of the early editorialized diatribe about transwomen's feelings about their anatomy, which belongs in Transwomen, not 'tucked away' in here. -- RyanFreisling @ 23:15, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
