To answer your question: that's pure nonsence. It's saying something about "sexual custom where one partner is pretending to be an animal, and the other one is a hunter". "Tražilica", on the other hand means "search engine". Tried to google on "Pipiemija", but got only links to this page. The author of this article has only that one edit.

I noticed you made a change to the "Elevator" page in Misplaced Pages. You inserted "install a new elevator" instead of new piston.
*]

*]
I have worked as an Elevator Mechanic for many years. You do not modernize a elevator just because the old cynlinder is bad. You replace the cynlinder (most often referred to, as a jack) with a new one, and line it with a large PVC piping. You then install a new polished steel piston (free from straches), along with new packing around the piston. All this can be done without replacing the elevator.
|group10 = 2022

|list10 =
Modernizing an elevator is a very large task, and just because a jack went bad doesn't force the owner of the elevator to modernize it, completly. A Modenization, as discussed, in the talk section of elevators, consists of replacing the Controls, Fixtures (including buttons, COP panel, hall signals, car signals), wiring, hoistway switches, selector unit, sometimes the motor and generator set.

== Accessibility question ==

Hi - Can you confirm that embedding HTML breaks in side by side cells within a single row in a table is problematic from an accessibility viewpoint? I recently changed the country infobox to avoid this sort of construct and have now embarked on a project to similarly change the city infobox. My understanding is that HTML tables are read row by row, cell by cell, so embedded breaks that are meant to create additional "rows" within a single HTML row don't affect the audible presentation from a screen reader. This will be a reasonably large effort in the city infobox case, since there are a little more than 2000 references to this template with probably about half using this sort of technique. I'm looking for a bot that might be able to fix these, but for the time being I'm using a manual approach. If you could confirm that this is indeed an issue I'd appreciate it. Thanks. -- ] <small>(])</small> 17:00, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
:Which pages have this problem? I checked ], ] and ] and they all read fine with JAWS. ''']'''<font color="green">]</font> 08:54, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
::The references are in the process of being changed, but ] currently exhibits this issue. The construct is like the following:

== December music ==
which looks like the following table that actually has three rows

] comes from a DYK about a concert that fascinated me, and you can listen! For my taste, the hook has too little music - I miss the unusual scoring and the specific dedication - but it comes instead with a name good for viewcount. --] (]) 17:35, 6 December 2024 (UTC)
|State || Mississippi

| County || DeSoto

:The question is whether these tables are presented differently in JAWS? My suspicion is the first is presented as "Country State County, United States Mississippi DeSoto", while the second is "Country United States, State Mississippi, County DeSoto" (which is a better match for the visual appearance). Thanks. -- ] <small>(])</small> 16:15, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

:::In the ] article, the Government section of the infobox (following "official language, Georgian") is presented like this. The type of government, president, and prime minister are in the same row in the HTML table. There are other problems with this particular example, but the visual presentation is meant to show these as three separate rows, with the content "Government Republic, President Mikheil Saakashvili, Prime Minister Zurab Noghaideli". Is this the presentation using JAWS, or is it "Government President Prime Minister, Republic Mikheil Saakashvili Zurab Noghaideli"? -- ] <small>(])</small> 16:32, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

::::Yikes! Yes I see the problem now. The tables with the line breaks read exactly as you said they would with JAWS, and row and column navigation doesn't work with them. However the second table reads fine here because it uses standard row separators. So line breaks imbedded in tables are definitely not a good idea with screen readers.

:::Thank you very much. The country articles that use the standard template are all fixed (] does not use the standard template). The city articles using the standard template are being fixed.

The whole tone of what you are saying is that only experts (and I guess you think you are one) should comment in this area. Most people for your information do not want to go out and buy Spyware and Anti-Virus Software. They simply want to get rid of the virus. That is one thing I do know. Professionals go directly into the computer and delete the entries manually. Automated methods can delete harmlees files and leave the bad ones behind. I have nothing against Anti-Virus Companies personally, other than they are often ineffective, and use a scattergun approach. I think that the topic is very important, and that you are treating me as if I am a vandal, and by doing this you are actual being a vandal (by deleting what I am saying). ] 11:34, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
:Graham, I am not trying to be clever here. I really want this article to remain, as I am so many others are affected by viruses. Naturally the Anti-Virus software is one of the solutions, and should be mentioned. I intended to do this anyway. I my specific case, I got infected by a Spyware virus.

::The how-to comment in the guidelines is directed at a particular types of silly how-to guides, like how-to chat up a girls etc. You just need to see the link to the Wiki how-to, to see what is in there. Anyway, these are just guidelines. I would like to put the stuff in Wiki books, but these are to technical in nature. Also, main stream encyclopedias have how-to articles, and I think you realise that. As for being NPOV, this is really directed at political discussions and the word approach is probably better here.

:::This is the problem, the viruses are given names, and everyone is confused. The virus was all in one folder iCodecPack, and it had two execs, pmmon.exe and pmsngr.exe. Also the virus was giving popup screens to pourchase anti-virus software and kept flashing a yellow triangle with an exclamation mark. I could not delete the execs or the folder either. However, I found a way. The trick is to go into the computer's safe mode and then delete it. That is what I want to explain in tnis article. There should be a list if keywords, like pmmon.exe. I think that people should know how to remedy specific attacks in Misplaced Pages. I think it is really important. That's why I am taking so much time out to discuss it.

Sure, I'll get right on it. Usually when an unregistered user has that many edits, it's not one person doing the editing. AOL uses a proxy server that makes it so many editors come from the same ip address at differing but closely related times (dynamic). This is most likely the case.

Thanks. -- ] <small>(])</small> 17:58, 15 October 2006 (UTC)
:The navigation bar itself reads fine with JAWS. My only problem is that it's hard to exit with the quick navigation keys (next element, end of element, different/same element ETC) because it's not an html list or table. Therefore, I think it should be the last real text in an article. Sometimes the geographical coordinates are below the navbar and it's hard to scroll down below the navbar. ''']'''<font color="green">]</font> 02:33, 16 October 2006 (UTC)

::Interesting. Thanks very much for checking it out. The whole point is easier navigation so it's really not acceptable for this to cause navigation issues with JAWS. I've tried a version that's simply a modification to ] which uses a table, but couldn't get it to work with Internet Explorer (IE seems to be too stupid to be able to figure out how to resolve the field width). Given that IE is the predominantly used visual browser at this point, I think having it not work for IE is not an option. I'm a little surprised JAWS doesn't offer next element navigation based on DIV elements. I suspect DIV-based CSS formatting will become more and more common. In any event, I will not encourage use of this technique until a solution is found for JAWS usage. By the way, have you run into any of the show/hide templates that use a Javascript technique to present two different versions of the same template based on "clicking" a show or hide button? ] is an example. I'm curious whether these cause problems with JAWS.

::I hope it's not a problem to be asking you about accessibility issues like this. In my opinion, the whole point of the web is accessibility. It greatly irks me when people even inadvertently cause problems for visual browsers other than Internet Explorer (I usually use Safari on a Mac). I'm sure it must be 10 times worse with JAWS. I can't do anything about most of the web, but I can do something about Misplaced Pages. If you ever run into anything that's problematic here, please let me know. -- ] <small>(])</small> 13:59, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
:::Thanks for the message. I poked around a bit on the Freedom Scientific website, and it seems that in the latest version of JAWS to move between divisions on the page, if I'm understanding what you mean correctly. That'll be a 700 dollar upgrade for me; fortunately I'll be able to get hold of that money soon. It's also only been in the last year that blind users have been able to use anything other than Internet Explorer efficiently with Windows screen readers, so support for IE is crucial for accessibility.

:::I've seen the show/hide buttons when they used to be in ], and they work fine with JAWS so I don't have a problem with them. My biggest accessibility gripe is when people fiddle with the position of the table of contents. If I want to skip the table of contents, I just have to hit "h" to get to the first heading. Templates like ] aren't a problem on their own, but when editors put them above the introduction or other important text, a screen reader user will miss the text. I wrote about this at ] and ]. When I first noticed the problem at ], I was baffled because I thought the article had been vandalised and I could find no version to revert to!

== ] / ] merge ? ==

I was rather surprised that these pages were merged into the SAPI page. I thought the old pages were fine, and the current SAPI page seems to just becoming a repository of random speech-related stuff. I think there was a discussion and the idea of removing ] was proposed, but I didn't expect every article related to Microsoft Speech was gonna get deleted. I propose re-adding ] and ] again as I think they are notable unless you disagree. ] 02:43, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

:Thanks for your comments. Microsoft Sam may not be state-of-the-art, but it is probably the most widely used TTS voice on the planet, given its inclusion in every copy of Windows XP. I think that makes it far more notable that you suggest. Saying "''its only claim to notability is being such a pathetic and useless voice that it's been parodied on the internet''" is absurd, as well as being wildly POV.
:For what it's worth, I believe Microsoft Sam's voice quality is typical of the concatenative synthesisers of the late 90's & early 2000's, prior to the "long-unit" technology used by AT&T Natural Voices and Microsoft Anna. It's always rated highly on intelligibility tests, although clearly the naturalness is low compared to more modern voices. If you are interested this paper describes some of the technology behind the older SAPI 4 Whisper engine, which the Sam/Mary/Mike engine is based off-of: http://icassp.microsoft.com/akit/sample_paper98.pdf
:Back to Misplaced Pages, I don't think we can have everything Microsoft Speech related on the SAPI article as it's already a long article. I propose either having separate pages for each voice, even if they are short; or having a single page called ], which can list Whisper, Sam/Mary/Mike, Anna etc. and describe as much of the underlying technology, user-perceived features, and quirks and bugs as people see fit. Personally I also think there's a need for a ] page which can describe the SR side of things and hopefully allow the SAPI page to focus more on the API and programming models. ] 17:06, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Hi graham87

With all due respect to your time!

Sceala has good reason to be linked to such posts, but we understand the forums 'general rule', and respect it despite seeing plenty of other just forums linked here! and yet sceala is more than a common found forum it has more than a dozen linked sites with specific information about Ireland and with content provided by such people with Irish history degrees; and please note our forums are invite only to post (no one just like here! can just post what they want)! so the quality of unique content can match anything wikipeda for both insight and accuracy provided! so bearing that in mind and a commitment to provide time here and content (as yesterday proved) I have placed the main site link as a reference for people!.

Now if that is too much to expect from time spent here then fine, we will just use this site!

I alert you that a fair amount of our content has been lifted here from our site and we have not complained!

Don't worry it is absolutely no problem if we can't link we will just assume as fact that for some it is ok but others it is not.

== Friedrich Kuhlau did not play the flute ==


No doubt if he knew, he could take steps to cure or avoid whatever problem may have arisen.
Sir:
As the title states, Friedrich Kuhlau did not play the flute. If you have any doubt of this I suggest you read the two below listed mongraphs which are considered the leading authorities on this composer:


Thanks for any guidance.
1. D. Friedrich Kuhlau by Ejner Johansson. He writes: "Han var, skont det modsatte ofte er haevdet, ikke selv flojtist, hans omfattende produktion skydes..." I translate since I doubt you can read Danish. It says, "[Kuhlau's production includes quite a quantity of chamber music...most often with the flute, which he did not play himself."


Sincerely,
2. "Flojtmusik" by Poul Birkelund on of Denmark's leading flutists. He also writes that it is intersting that Kuhlau wrote so much for the flute since he himself did not play the flute. He attributes this to the fact that Kuhlau's father was a bandmaster who did, in fact, play the flute.


] (]) 22:00, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
I suggest you restore the remarks to the article about Kuhlau and his not playing the flute. I have placed this article on my watch list and if you do not replace it, I will have to report to the administrators that you are removing accurate information from articles.
