thread_title: Issues

message: I'm sure some NK members have "pajama parties," and that's perfectly legitimate as far as it goes. However, "pajama parties" does not belong in a highly condensed representation of what one of the world's largest childfree organizations is all about. I feel sure "pajama parties" are an infrequent, if not rare, NK activity. In addition, there are so many uninformed people who equate the childfree lifestyle with "adult adolescence," swingers etc. that including "pajama parties" in a short list of compelling reasons to be involved with NK is counter-productive. Therefore, I removed the phrase "pajama parties" from this entry.

replies: text: Please check out WP:CONTEXT for a guideline to redlinks. If these people are notable then by all means create articles about them. Bluelinked, notable personnel are absolutely fine, however an entirely redlinked list of people of unknown position and importance is entirely unencyclopedic. You clearly have an interest in this topic, and are likely an employee of the company, which is a particularly clear reason why you should be keen not to give the impression that you "own" the template. Template:News Corporation gets away with a much shorter list of staff with a few redlinked employees, however Scripps is not News corp, ditto the template for General Electric Co. I'm aware that several media and other companies have lists of mainly redlinked staff on their template, however it's very unusual not to see at least the CEO and a couple of others with articles. I've also been unable to find a policy or guideline which backs up your previous edit summary, I will of course have no objections if you could point it out to me.

For example, the NPTL work is unrelated to TUX, zerocopy and scalability are related, but aren't mentioned.  zerocopy is now available to userspace httpds that want to take advantage of it.  It might also be worth mentioning the AIO work, though it's not clear to me if the current TUX implementation uses the AIO implementation or whether it does its own thing -- I only skimmed the patch briefly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.217.83.134 (talk • contribs) 19:59, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Powder metallurgy 

message: What's the difference?  Is there a difference?  My feeling is that casting takes place at atmospheric pressure, and involves liquids which flow easily, whereas moulding involves more viscous stuff that needs additional pressure beyond its own weight to move it.  On that basis powder metallurgy is only moulding if coining and stamping are also moulding, as thepowder flows freely into the die and is only then subject to higher forces.  Difficult, innit?
Gravuritas (talk) 11:35, 7 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I suspect you are right, but having come from lost-wax casting, and seeing that there is only Mold (cooking implement) to cover all forms of mold/mould, I think this article (since it is so short) would be better renamed Mold (manufacturing) so that it can cover all types of process in a top-level way.  Pottery made by pressing clay into a mould is certainly moulding not casting.  Johnbod (talk) 03:48, 13 December 2013 (UTC)

You can read what's in that link, but specifically, anything like the Internet Model Database site that's a copy-and-paste from a Wiki article doesn't meet guidelines.  Sites of questionable factual accuracy like the who-dated-who one don't either.  You're best bet is legit news sources.  Linking to websites, you should give actual links to specific pages that prove the article claims—don't just say what site homepage to go to, because editors won't necessarily be able to navigate the site.
