[edit] Emory Logo
Hey, I think you understand the current (and old) debate going on over Emory logo and would appreciate it if you left your thoughts on the Emory talk page :-). Nrbelex (talk) 06:42, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Go
The problem with trying to describe how many possible go games there are is that there is no natural number that comes close. The invented number googolplex is both meaningless to the average person and absurdly too great, while a googol is closer to the number of atoms or protons in the universe, it is absurdly too small. Do you not know how to square a number? Does that not imply to you something bigger? How about to the fourth power? Do you know what that is, regardless of whether you know the chain rule or not? Does it not allow you to realize that this must be a really really big number? As I point out in my discussion, atoms squared to the fourth only gets you to 10^640, but since the closest competition, Chess, is down around 10^50, or by some sources 10^123 it clearly makes the point. Do you have a better suggestion? If not, use it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 199.125.109.73 (talk • contribs).
- It's obviously a really, really big number. Simply stating that it is greater than the estimated number of atoms in the universe is both accurate and sufficient. Tacking on piles of exponents does not give the reader a better idea of the scale of the number. It merely makes the sentence more difficult to read. —ptk✰fgs 00:23, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] NEDM
PTKFGS,
Thank you for letting me off with a warning. I was not trying to "Joke Edit" the British Longhair article. While YTMND is still unbeknownst to the general public, I figured that such information would nonetheless benefit the page. Although, I suppose you know better than I do about these sort of things.
Have a splendid day, MistahFOUR —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.199.154.85 (talk • contribs). —ptk✰fgs 23:58, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] ×××HOLiC / XXXholic
Hi, sorry to bother you with this, but would you mind to formally repeat your endorsement of "XXXholic" in the move discussion at Talk:×××HOLiC? With all the recent fuss around WP:MOS-TM, I'm sure we'd all hate to have another precedent in favor of stylized typography go down, because enough fans of the manga happened to show up.

[edit] AWB
If you can't pay attention to what you're doing, then stop using AWB. You changed the capitalization on the name attribute of a ref tag in Backgammon. This does not help anyone, and it has only the potential to break further ref tags that use the same name. —ptk✰fgs 23:36, 9 March 2007 (UTC)
- It doesn't hurt anyone either. If AWB changes one ref tag, it will change all ref tags using that name. I don't see what's the big deal about simple capitalization. I've redone the edit, this time without changing the capitalization. Harryboyles 00:07, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] TNA Impact!
Is there any way that we can get the page unprotected, and just let him violate the 3rr and get himself blocked as usual? -- The Hybrid 23:43, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Please dont
Please dont mess with my sig again, i'll do it myself --User:Atomic Religione
- ...yeah, it's still enormous. —ptk✰fgs 07:47, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
I like it this way and you are the first to complain --User:Atomic Religione
- ok. —ptk✰fgs 18:25, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Backgammon softrware using AI
Who are you and why to you think you have the right to decide which software gets promoted or used as examples under backgammon. There are several promoted there. My games have as much right to be included under artificial intelligence as the others to under neural nets. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Backgammonexpert (talk • contribs) 18:08, 26 March 2007 (UTC).
(worse than BKG9.8, in my estimation)
How have you determined this?
Who are you?
[edit] Backgammon page
You've been doing a great job on Backgammon. I think I'll just go ahead and change all "he"s to "she"s. I guess if anyone gets upset (and I doubt it), they can revert. As I change the pronouns, I'll copy-edit anything else I think I can improve. There's a fair bit of room for taste in issues of "style", I usually don't like to interfere too much, but since you ask so nicely ... ;)
Cheers (and good dice if you're a backgammon player :)
