Dispute
It will enable us to establish community consensus as to whether we should have an article on "La La" or not. There's no other way to resolve this. For my part, I'll respect the result of any VfD debate. Everyking 11:02, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * If you want to take it to VfD, that's entirely your choice. I'll be monitoring the case to make sure both sides of the issue get fair representation if that is the way you decide to go, though. Reene (リニ) 11:16, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

 * But I want to know if you'll respect community consensus. You seem to be evading that question. Everyking 11:20, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

While we're waiting for Reene's response, I'd like to put forward some new ideas about this article, which for the time being remains unprotected. This whole dispute weighs heavily on me and worries me greatly, because I had been working hard on this article and its associated pages, and enjoying that work, but now I feel like it's all in jeopardy. I think we should agree that any edit to the article that might be controversial should be discussed here on talk first, to see if there are any objections. I'll make that pledge myself, to describe any major changes I plan to implement here first and wait for others' reactions, and if others will make the same pledge, I think we really can get this up to featured quality and avoid a revert war and protection at the same time. I don't think it's far away from featured status, really. And we need to bring up specific issues. That's been a huge problem throughout this whole dispute: I can't fix things unless people tell me what to fix. So if people don't like the inclusion of a certain quote, they should C&P it here and discuss why they don't like it, and what might be added instead of it, if anything. Everyking 11:37, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly and redistributed at will, do not submit it. That's taken directly from the page you go to every time you click "edit this article". Nothing is "in jeopardy" here either. Nobody is talking about blanking the page or even anything close to it. Nobody here wants to do anything BUT improve the article. And may I remind you that you have been presented with no less than three things wrong with the article, so don't pull that "nobody told me" act. You accuse me of acting in an offensive or insulting manner? At least I'm straightforward about it- I'm not pulling an "injured innocent better-than-you" act like you seem fond of doing here.
 * If you choose to VfD it, I'll go with whatever the consensus is but only if you will too. But that still doesn't address the issues and it won't magically fix everything. I also refuse to accept "community consensus" if to you that means that the article is fine as it is. It isn't. Remember, VfD is only there to decide whether an article should be there to begin with, not whether or not it's fine as it is. Reene (リニ) 11:49, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

I want my work to be edited mercilessly, but only if that editing improves the article. I reserve the right to mercilessly edit an article to restore it to a better condition if necessary, as do we all. I'm happy to see you say you'll respect consensus, but worried to see you say that it won't address the issues. Of course it will address the one issue at hand, which is the issue of whether La La should have an article or not. Once we settle that issue, one way or another, then we can deal with improving the specific articles. I don't think La La is fine as it is; I have more work planned there. I do think this article is more or less fine as it is, it could use a little work in a few areas, but a massive overhaul would only damage it, in my opinion. However, if others disagree, I'm committed to hearing them out. I just want us all to work things out on talk before we do anything to the article itself. Also, Reene, you've been very hostile to me from the beginning. What do you say we adopt a mutual tone of civility from here on out? Everyking 12:00, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Others do disagree. They've told you why they disagree. Stop pretending these concerns do not exist. Reene (リニ) 12:40, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

I also want to say that I will respond to no further accusations that I am controlling the article, or that I somehow "own" it. By responding to such things, which as anyone can tell from reading this talk page are patently absurd, I fear I've fuelled discussion that is basically nothing but personal attacks against me that really have little to do with the article itself. Clearly John and Reene think I'm a horrible person for God-knows-what reason, and they can talk to me all they want on my user talk page or through e-mail if they like. But I want to get this particular dispute resolved, and that can only be done by addressing specific attributes of this article. Everyking 12:28, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * "Your opinion has been registered, Hemanshu, but nothing will come of it as long as I'm watching this article." That's a quote from you. On this very page. And you claim that you're not trying to control the article?
 * I'd also appreciate it if you do not assume what I do or do not think. It is extremely rude and will go nowhere in resolving these issues as you claim you are so keen on doing. Reene (リニ) 12:40, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

 * All right, Reene, maybe you don't think I'm a horrible person, I don't know, all I know is that you treat me with pure contempt. And yes, I absolutely do claim that I am not trying to control the article. It is others who are trying to restrict me from editing, not the other way around. Everyking 12:44, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I'm always sardonic in manner and speech, but I reserve extra contempt for people I perceive to be perched on some kind of self-appointed pedestal. If that offends you, well, in the immortal words of another user: "tough titties." Reene (リニ) 12:59, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

 * On this point I am in agreement with Reene. Johnleemk | Talk 13:01, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

And you two can have all the contempt you damn well want, I don't care. I'm beyond trying to understand the negativity towards me. If you aren't concerned with improving this article, I kindly ask you to remove it from your watchlists and quit bothering me. If you are, please do what I asked above and quit this campaign of endless insults. Everyking 13:07, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I have been concerned with improving the article. I've hit a wall when it comes to you though. You've been maintaining the position of being steadfastly against anyone making edits to the article. This has been apparent since the second I even suggested I was going to touch it.
 * I'm attacking your actions and what you have said. There is nothing wrong with this- it is actually encouraged if you've bothered to read the policies and guidelines concerning this sort of thing. Reene (リニ) 13:27, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

 * Right. I'll be responding to you no further unless you want to begin discussing the article. Direct your insults either to my talk page or to me through e-mail. Everyking 13:32, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * Okay then. I've probably made a good enough case against your poor conduct on both talk pages. Just know I'll still be responding to and correcting any statements you made that are in part or wholly false (intentional or otherwise). It's only fair, after all. Reene (リニ) 13:41, Nov 27, 2004 (UTC)

Version Poll
Since both sides can't come to an agreement on how to discuss the recent edit without resorting to an revert war, maybe a polling the community might help? This still would depend if each side would accept the outcome of the community consensus of the poll of which version is displayed to readers. How long should the poll last? Shard 00:47, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Everyking's Version

 * 1) Shard 00:47, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * 2) I've never said my version is flawless, but it's better and more complete than Reene's, and the more complete, earlier version should be the starting point for any discussion. Everyking 02:05, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Pros

 * This album is Ashlee's debut album. Including as many details such as the quotes, reviews, week by week sales amounts, interviews, etc... helps inform readers, especially those who know nothing about the album.  I don't see how adding all those quotes and citations can make the article less readable or cumbersome. Shard 00:50, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

I don't think a poll is a good idea
This is not an either/or thing, it's a content dispute that requires discussion, not a policy that needs to be voted on. Polls are a limited tool in reaching consensus -- sannse (talk) 00:52, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I've thought about what you've said. I tried to find something to disprove it, but only found evidence supporting your statement.  If it didn't work in Talk:FOX News/Archive two, then it probably won't work here.  Thank you. Shard 06:07, 28 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Fhourstones

In computer science, Fhourstones is an integer benchmark that efficiently solves positions in the game of Connect-4. It was written by John Tromp in 1996-2008, and is incorporated into the Phoronix Test Suite. The measurements are reported as the number of game positions searched per second.

Available in both ANSI-C and Java, it is quite portable and compact (under 500 lines of source), and uses 50Mb of memory. The benchmark involves (after warming up on three easier positions) solving the entire game, which takes about ten minutes on contemporary PCs, scoring between 1000 and 12,000 kpos/sec. It has been described as more realistic than some other benchmarks.

Fhourstones was named as a pun on Dhrystone (itself a pun on Whetstone), as "dhry" sounds the same as "drei", German for "three": fhourstones is an increment on dhrystones.

Patrick Tambay

Patrick Daniel Tambay (25 June 1949 – 4 December 2022) was a French racing driver, commentator, and politician, who competed in 123 Formula One races between 1977 and 1986, securing five pole positions and winning twice.

He gained training as a racing driver at Winfield Racing School in France in 1971. Between 1977 and 1981, he raced for an assortment of teams including Surtees, Theodore, Ligier, and McLaren with mixed results; he additionally won two Can Am championships under Carl Haas in 1977 and 1980. Tambay was hired by Scuderia Ferrari after his close friend Gilles Villeneuve died during the 1982 Belgian Grand Prix; he took his maiden victory four races later in Germany. His second and final victory came the following year in emotional circumstances at Imola. In 1984, Tambay moved to Renault and ended his F1 career at Haas Lola.

Tambay competed in various forms of motorsport following his departure from Formula One, including the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the World Sportscar Championship, and the Dakar Rally.

Racing career
Early in his career, Tambay was a part of Formula 5000 with the team run by Carl Haas.

In 1977, winning the Can Am championship with Haas, Tambay debuted in Formula One on a one-off basis with Surtees, driving in only one session at the 1977 French Grand Prix before spending the rest of the season with Theodore. This partnership proved fruitful, and Tambay moved to McLaren to race Formula One full-time for the 1978 and 1979 seasons. In 1980, he returned to Can Am with the Lola team run by Carl Haas, immediately winning early in the season and then winning his second Can-Am championship.

In 1981 he returned to F1, first driving for the Theodore team then finishing the season with Ligier.

In 1982, he was offered a drive with Arrows by team boss Jackie Oliver to replace the injured Marc Surer in the season-opening South African Grand Prix. He arrived at the track and, when faced with the ongoing turmoil and the possibility of a drivers' strike, he soon left and did not take part in the race. Later in 1982 he was offered a place with the Scuderia Ferrari after the death of his close friend Gilles Villeneuve. He won his first Grand Prix at the German Grand Prix that year after Didier Pironi was injured in qualifying, in his fourth race for Ferrari. He took his second and last Grand Prix win in 1983 at Imola; driving with Villeneuve's #27, he won after Riccardo Patrese crashed near the end of the race. He was dropped by the team in 1984 in favor of Italian Michele Alboreto. Tambay moved to Renault, and then spent a year reunited with his old boss Carl Haas racing in the Haas Lola F1 team.

In 1987, Tambay formed his own sports promotion company in Switzerland, but gave this up in 1989 to return to racing. In 1989, he drove a Jaguar in the World Sportscar Championship and went on to finish fourth in the Le Mans 24 Hours. He then took up desert rally raiding, finishing twice in the top three on the Paris-Dakar. Additionally, he was involved in ice races and the Tour de Corse jet ski race.

Later life and death
After retiring from full-time racing, Tambay worked as a commentator for French television. He also served as the deputy mayor of Le Cannet, a suburb of Cannes. He was the godfather to 1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve, while his son Adrien raced in the DTM championship between 2012 and 2016. After suffering from Parkinson's disease for several years, Tambay died on 4 December 2022, at age 73. His son Adrien announced his death.

Talk:Type conversion

Table for programming languages
c#, Java, Perl, Haspell, javascript, Coffescript, Haxe, livescript, Lua, Ruby, Closure, Scala, etc - strong/weak, declaration necessary/optional/possible, inference, implicit typing, strict/dynamic, implicit conversion,... Perhaps another new article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.113.38.50 (talk) 19:23, 9 February 2014 (UTC)

Off topic
This article is off topic. Most of it is not "Type conversion" but "tutorial to C/C++ cast operation".

I did some to improve (see history) but I would ask the C/C++ advocates to consider two things:

 * 1) tutorials belong to wikibooks.
 * 2) that there are other programming languages where "Type conversion" has a more broader meaning.

and maybe improve the C/C++ chapter.

 * You are right in that the current article is not good at all. But we need to remember that C++ has quite complex type conversion system, compared with others. The problem is the shortcoming, which is not intentionally done by C/C++ advocates but is mere result of lack of contributions so far. If you think the article goes too deep, take a look at LR parser and the like. -- Taku 04:27, Nov 30, 2004 (UTC)

 * Did you read my Ada article? C++ is not the only language with a complex type conversion system. And of corse is should be described in wiki. The question I was trying to raise was "wikipedia vs wikibooks". How much of C/C++ cast need to be described in wikipedia "The Free Encyclopedia" and what should better moved to wikibooks "Think Free. Learn Free". --Krischik 09:43, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

 * I support the idea of a merger between "typecasting" and "type conversion". I was searching for dynamic_cast<>. The first link I took brought me to "typecasting". However, I found the explanation on "type conversion". --Kriti 05:24, 24 Aug 2005(UTC)

 * I agree, typecasting needs to be merged with this article. Both articles need work. -- Doug Bell ( talk/contrib ) 20:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * I am looking for a way to convert a string to integer when you know the string character is a number like 7. --Mrja84 20:14, 11 Oct 2005(ESDT)

 * Of course, this depends on the language and primitives you want to use. But since you're asking, the answer could be . --TuukkaH 14:45, 12 October 2005 (UTC)

 * I believe there should be a least 3 separate pages linked from the Type_conversion page, those being pages for static_cast, reinterpret_cast, and dynamic_cast. --IanVaughan 11:44, 9 Nov 2006 (UTC)

 * I find this quite confusing, I have to say. Type conversion and type casting are very different things. Type casting being making the compiler think that something is a different type, and type conversion actually turning one type into another, in some fashion, say using atoi, in C or Integer.parseInt in Java. K.

What is the aviation reference doing in this article? It needs to be moved to a separate article. -- Doug Bell ( talk/contrib ) 20:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Ditto. One tiny section on aviation followed by an article on computer science is completely out-of-place.  It should be moved to a separate article with a disambiguation page. -- Andrés Santiago Pérez-Bergquist 23:41, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Overemphasis of Eiffel
It seems like the sections related to Eiffel are much larger than they should be, given the relative level of popularity of Eiffel. It would be more useful to show type conversion in other languages instead of so much on a fairly obscure language. In my opinion the long discourse of Eiffel's type conversion should go on an Eiffel page, or better yet, a new page. Smithderek2000 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 00:04, 22 September 2012 (UTC)

Inaccuracies
The section on implicit type conversion contained false and misleading statements:
 * "For example, in the above comparisons, there would be a loss of information in a conversion from type double to type int if the value of d is larger than i can hold."
 * False. The comparisons listed do not involve any conversion from  to , but the other way around. Actually, any comparison involving a   and an   will have the   promoted to  , not the other way around.
 * Conversely, converting from an integral representation to a floating-point one can also lose precision, as floating-point representations are generally not capable of holding integer values precisely.
 * Inaccurate. What is true is that a floating-point representation of n bits can never hold all integer values of n bits precisely, since there's just not enough room for both the exponent and the significand. However, an IEEE 754 double precision type is capable of representing all 32-bit integer values exactly, for example, so this statement is misleading, especially in the given context. 82.95.254.249 18:12, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 32 bit to double can't lose precision but 64 bit to double or 32 bit to float can but i agree that section needs a rewrite. Plugwash 01:19, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
 * "...the fractional components of the floating-point values will be truncated (rounded down)."
 * Those aren't the same thing. For negative numbers, rounding down means going to the next lower integer (ie floor), while truncating means removing the fractional part. 76.118.217.245 (talk) 19:28, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Another inaccuracy: the claim is made that the C code is legal as shown. In fact, the behaviour of the code is undefined (because indeterminate values are evaluated), making the conclusions spurious. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.154.245.15 (talk) 15:10, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

 * There's an inaccuracy in this part: "long int to int causes dropping of excess higher order bits." That's only true if long int is a different size than int.  In DOS environments, int is typically 16-bit and long int 32, and in some 64-bit environments int is 32 and long is 64.  In those cases, the statement holds.  However, in many 32-bit environments and some 64-bit environments, int is the same as long int at 32 bits or 64 bits (respectively), making that statement unreliable.  Is there a better way of saying that, that we could include in the text? Renegrade (talk) 03:49, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

Merge from static_cast
Old merge proposal that hasn't been formally discussed. No opinion. Pairadox 04:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Should be merged to an article on C++ casting operators (or C++ operators), if there is and should be such an article. If I find one I'll update that merge tag.  — The Storm Surfer 22:58, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * static_cast was an individual article, then without discussion and reasons given was changed to redirect to this article. I reverted the static_cast article back to its content before redirection. --Abdull (talk) 21:39, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Merge from ato*
I think that the information from the  and   articles should be included. Any thoughts? --208.138.31.76 (talk) 15:38, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

 * I agree, IMHO we should go even further and make an article like Functions converting from ASCII in standard ANSI C library (with a better name of course) and merge atoi, atof, strtod, etc... Miko3k (talk) 00:45, 22 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I disagree with the inclusion because this article is theoric. But creating an article merging atoi, atof, strtod, etc... is a good idea —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.231.158.89 (talk) 16:59, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

 * I disagree, atoi and other related functions belong to one particular programming language and this is a general article. 195.226.8.98 (talk) 11:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

 * I also disagree, to me, atoi and related _functions_ are not even type conversion. (Type here being the concept of type as used by compilers). They are simply utility functions that take a string as an input and return an integer (e.g. atoi). There is absolutely no relation between the input passed in and the output generated, other than we hope that they in some way refer to the same value, but that depends on how we interpret that value (what I mean is that there is some form of implicit 'format convention' necessary, as to how numbers can be represented as text. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 123.27.219.212 (talk) 12:39, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

Conversion vs Casting
In languages like Pascal (programming language) conversion and casting are distinctly different concepts. This article takes a rather C-centric view.

Conversion refers to either implicitly or explicitly changing a value from one data type to another, e.g. a 16-bit integer to a 32-bit integer. The storage requirements may change as a result of the conversion. A loss of precision or truncation may also occur.

Casting refers to explicitly changing the interpretation of the bit pattern representing a value from one type to another. For example 32 contiguous bits may be treated as an array of 32 booleans, a two character Unicode string, an unsigned 32-bit integer or an IEEE single precision floating point value. The storage requirements are never changed by a cast. Casting requires an intimate knowledge of the byte order of the system and an awareness of any alignment requirements. RegulatorRectifier (talk) 17:58, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

In ABAP, conversion and casting are also different, and have the same rules as above, with one more possibility that is the possibility to cast only a part of a value, let's say cast the 8 first bits of a 32 bits value to an ASCII character. Boundaries are always checked at runtime and an exception is triggered if they are exceeded. So casting should better have its own article (as downcasting has one, but upcasting not!) Sandrarossi (talk) 14:16, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

Agreed. It is absurd that type casting redirects here. Type casting means to interpret memory as a different type than what it was declared as. This page is about type conversion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.191.75.74 (talk) 14:14, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

Visual Basic
Does anyone know if this article has to do with the properties of 'variant' types in VB and VBA? A variant variable can be any other type of variable at any point of an algorithm, but I don't have the knowledge to assert that is the same as this article. Khullah (talk) 00:07, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

const_cast
const_cast redirects here, but is not explained in the article. -- Juergen 62.143.196.71 (talk) 14:56, 7 November 2015 (UTC)

Strange codes
Ain't it within [- 32767(?) to 32767] ?!

What is being compared? There are no any values, there are no sizeof-s...

Oleg Ostapchuk 15:18, 10 February 2019 (UTC)

One word or two?
This page and Typecasting (disambiguation)  render "type casting" in computer programming as two words, with no alternate listed. But at least two of the references render it as one word. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.79.225.147 (talk) 18:35, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Darwin Information Typing Architecture

The Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) specification defines a set of document types for authoring and organizing topic-oriented information, as well as a set of mechanisms for combining, extending, and constraining document types. It is an open standard that is defined and maintained by the OASIS DITA Technical Committee.

The name derives from the following components:
 * Darwin: it uses the principles of specialization and inheritance, which is in some ways analogous to the naturalist Charles Darwin's concept of evolutionary adaptation,
 * Information Typing: which means each topic has a defined primary objective (procedure, glossary entry, troubleshooting information) and structure,
 * Architecture: DITA is an extensible set of structures.

Content reuse
Topics are the foundation for content reuse, and can be reused across multiple publications. Fragments of content within topics can be reused through the use of content references (conref or conkeyref), a transclusion mechanism.

Information typing
The latest version of DITA (DITA 1.3) includes five specialized topic types: Task, Concept, Reference, Glossary Entry, and Troubleshooting. Each of these five topic types is a specialization of a generic Topic type, which contains a title element, a prolog element for metadata, and a body element. The body element contains paragraph, table, and list elements, similar to HTML.

 * A Task topic is intended for a procedure that describes how to accomplish a task. It lists a series of steps that users follow to produce an intended outcome. The steps are contained in a taskbody element, which is a specialization of the generic body element. The steps element is a specialization of an ordered list element.
 * Concept information is more objective, containing definitions, rules, and guidelines.
 * A Reference topic is for topics that describe command syntax, programming instructions, and other reference material, and usually contains detailed, factual material.
 * A Glossary Entry topic is used for defining a single sense of a given term. In addition to identifying the term and providing a definition, this topic type might also have basic terminology information, along with any acronyms or acronym expansions that may apply to the term.
 * The Troubleshooting topic describes a condition that the reader may want to correct, followed by one or more descriptions of its cause and suggested remedies.

Maps
A DITA map is a container for topics used to transform a collection of content into a publication. It gives the topics sequence and structure. A map can include relationship tables (reltables) that define hyperlinks between topics. Maps can be nested: they can reference topics or other maps, and can contain a variety of content types and metadata.

Metadata
DITA includes extensive metadata elements and attributes, both at topic level and within elements. Conditional text allows filtering or styling content based on attributes for audience, platform, product, and other properties. The conditional processing profile (.ditaval file) is used to identify which values are to be used for conditional processing.

Specialization
DITA allows adding new elements and attributes through specialization of base DITA elements and attributes. Through specialization, DITA can accommodate new topic types, element types, and attributes as needed for specific industries or companies. Specializations of DITA for specific industries, such as the semiconductor industry, are standardized through OASIS technical committees or subcommittees. Many organizations using DITA also develop their own specializations.

The extensibility of DITA permits organizations to specialize DITA by defining specific information structures and still use standard tools to work with them. The ability to define company-specific information architectures enables companies to use DITA to enrich content with metadata that is meaningful to them, and to enforce company-specific rules on document structure.

Topic orientation
DITA content is created as topics, each an individual XML file. Typically, each topic covers a specific subject with a singular purpose, for example, a conceptual topic that provides an overview, or a procedural topic that explains how to accomplish a task. Content should be structured to resemble the file structure in which it is contained.

Creating content in DITA
DITA map and topic documents are XML files. As with HTML, any images, video files, or other files that must appear in the output are inserted via reference. Any XML editor or even text editor can be used to write DITA content, depending on the level of support required while authoring. Aids to authoring featured in specialized editors include WYSIWYG preview rendering, validation, and integration with a DITA processor, like DITA-OT or ditac.

Publishing content written in DITA
DITA is designed as an end-to-end architecture. In addition to indicating what elements, attributes, and rules are part of the DITA language, the DITA specification includes rules for publishing DITA content in HTML, online Help, print, Content Delivery Platform and other formats.

For example, the DITA specification indicates that if the conref  attribute of element A contains a path to element B, the contents of element B will display in the location of element A. DITA-compliant publishing solutions, known as DITA processors, must handle the conref attribute according to the specified behaviour. Rules also exist for processing other rich features such as conditional text, index markers, and topic-to-topic links. Applications that transform DITA content into other formats, and meet the DITA specification's requirements for interpreting DITA markup, are known as DITA processors.

Localization
DITA provides support for translation via the localisation attribute group. Element attributes can be set to indicate whether the content of the element should be translated. The language of the element content can be specified, as can the writing direction, the index filtering and some terms that are injected when publishing to the final format. A DITA project can be converted to an XLIFF file and back into its original maps and topics, using the DITA-XLIFF Roundtrip Tool for DITA-OT and computer-assisted translation (CAT) tools, like Swordfish Translation Editor or Fluenta DITA Translation Manager, a tool designed to implement the translation workflow suggested by the article "Using XLIFF to Translate DITA Projects" published by the DITA Adoption TC at OASIS.

Michael James O'Rourke

Michael James "Mickey" O'Rourke (March 19, 1878 – December 6, 1957), was an Irish-Canadian soldier and dockworker. O'Rourke was a recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest, most prestigious decoration for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Early life
There is little documentation of O'Rourke's life prior to World War I. Born in Limerick, Ireland, he served in the Royal Munster Fusiliers before emigrating to Canada where he joined the Canadian militia in Revelstoke, British Columbia. He also worked as a miner.

World War I
O'Rourke joined the Canadian Expeditionary Force in February 1915. He had already been awarded the Military Medal for bravery at the Battle of the Somme when, as a member of the 7th (1st British Columbia) Battalion, the following action took place for which he was awarded the Victoria Cross.

During the period 15/17 August 1917 at the Battle of Hill 70 near Lens, France, Private O'Rourke, who was a stretcher-bearer, worked unceasingly for three days and nights bringing in the wounded, dressing their wounds and getting them food and water. During the whole of this period the area in which he worked was swept by heavy machine-gun and rifle fire and on several occasions he was knocked down and partially buried by enemy shells. His courage and devotion in carrying out his rescue work in spite of exhaustion and incessant heavy fire inspired all ranks and undoubtedly saved many lives.

Later life
After the war, O'Rourke went to California, then returned to British Columbia where he eked out an existence on Vancouver's skid road, surviving on a disability pension of 10 dollars per month and casual work on the docks. During the Vancouver longshoremen's strike of 1935, he headed a protest march of about 1,000 strikers, wearing his medals and carrying the Union Jack. The marchers attempted to pass a police line guarding the waterfront and were attacked with clubs and tear gas in what came to be known as the Battle of Ballantyne Pier.

O'Rourke's later life was complicated by war-related chronic health problems and alcoholism. He died as an indigent at a Veterans' Affairs facility in Burnaby, BC, on December 6, 1957. His grave is located at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Burnaby.

Thomas Bernard Hackett

Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Bernard Hackett (15 June 1836 – 5 October 1880) was born in Riverstown, County Tipperary and was an Irish recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest and most prestigious award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth forces.

Details
He was 21 years old, and a lieutenant in the 23rd Regiment of Foot (later The Royal Welch Fusiliers), British Army during the Indian Mutiny when the following deed took place for which he was awarded the VC. On 18 November 1857 at Secundra Bagh, Lucknow, India, Lieutenant Hackett, with George Monger, rescued a corporal of his Regiment, who was lying wounded and exposed to heavy fire. He also showed conspicuous bravery when, under heavy fire, he ascended the roof and cut the thatch of a bungalow to prevent its being set on fire. His citation reads: "23rd Regiment, Lieutenant (now Captain) Thomas Bernard Hackett

Date of Act of Bravery,18th November, 1857

For daring gallantry at Secundra Bagh, Lucknow, on the 18th November, 1857, in having with others, rescued a Corporal of the 23rd Regiment, who was lying wounded and exposed to very heavy fire. Also, for conspicuous bravery, in having, under a heavy fire, ascended the roof, and cut down the thatch of a Bungalow, to prevent its being set on fire. This was a most important service at the time."

He later achieved the rank of lieutenant colonel. He died at Arrabeg, King's County (now County Offaly) in a firearm accident on 5 October 1880. His VC is on display in the Lord Ashcroft Gallery at the Imperial War Museum, London.

Meridian House

Meridian House is a historic mansion in Washington, D.C., located in the Meridian Hill neighborhood of Northwest D.C.. It was designed by American architect John Russell Pope and built in 1920 for Ambassador Irwin B. Laughlin, who filled it with his extensive collection of French paintings and Oriental porcelain. It stayed in the Laughlin family until 1960, when it was purchased by the non-profit Meridian International Center.

History
Meridian House was built by American diplomat Irwin B. Laughlin. He purchased the land in 1912, two years after his friend Henry White bought the adjacent site at 1624 Crescent Place. After a long career with the US Foreign Service, Laughlin retired in 1919 and built Meridian House, filling it with his collection of 18th-century French drawings and Oriental porcelains and screens. Although he later returned to the diplomatic corps, serving as Ambassador to Greece and Spain in the 1920s and '30s, Laughlin also played an active role in Washington's artistic and historical communities.

Ambassador Laughlin was married to Therese Iselin, daughter of New York City banker Adrian Iselin Jr. Their daughter, Gertrude, who married Rear Admiral Hubert Winthrop Chanler, lived in Meridian House during her youth and from time to time after her marriage, especially when her husband was away on naval assignments. The house remained in the Laughlin family until 1958.

In 1960, a newly created non-profit organization dedicated to promoting international understanding, which later became Meridian International Center, received a grant from the Ford Foundation to purchase Meridian House. Gertrude Laughlin Chanler served as a Meridian trustee for many years and made a substantial donation to start Meridian's endowment. Her children continue to support Meridian International Center and frequently visit the house with their own children.

Architecture
In 1929, Meridian House was described by Architectural Forum as,

"Perhaps as fine a piece of work of its kind as this country can show ... Certainly the manner of this house has not in this country been better done, not only in terms of stylistic authenticity, but in terms of pure architecture, meaning good taste in selectivity, in elimination, in execution. It cannot from its nature do otherwise than set a standard which should endure permanently."

After undergoing a major renovation in 1994, Meridian House's principal rooms retain their architectural detail as well as some of the original decorative features, such as the 18th-century European overdoor paintings and antique brass hardware and lighting fixtures. The classical symmetry of the Louis XVI style is reflected throughout the house.

Dining room
The dining room features a beautiful Mortlake tapestry, which has been dated by experts as late 17th century. The tapestry, purchased by the Laughlin family in England at the turn of the century, depicts the legendary reception given Alexander the Great by the Greek philosopher Diogenes. An almost identical tapestry hangs in Holyrood Palace in Edinburgh, Scotland.

The dining room also features two portraits - one of Ambassador Laughlin and one of his daughter, Gertrude Laughlin Chanler, as a child. A portrait of Mrs. Laughlin hangs nearby in the Chairmen's Study. All three were painted by Philip de László, the renowned portrait artist of the early 20th century.

Reception
The reception gallery remains much as it was at the time the Laughlin family occupied the house. The wrought-iron and marble-topped side tables, the four Waterford crystal torcheres in the corners, the blue Chinese temple jars, and the antique clock and barometer on the mirrored walls are all part of the original furnishings.

The loggia, which links the major reception rooms and rear garden, includes four marble busts sculpted in France, representing the four seasons.

A Latin inscription, "Quo habitat felicitas nil intret mali", appears over the front door and translates "Where happiness dwells, evil will not enter." Another inscription, over the rear courtyard doors, reads: "Purior hic aer: late hinc conspectus in urbem," meaning "Purer here the air whence we overlook the city," a quotation also inscribed on a house at the top of Rome's Spanish Steps.

Gardens
The rear and side gardens largely retain their original design. The pebbled courtyard has 40 linden trees, imported from Europe when the house was built. The statues throughout the garden are original to the house, as are the statues at the four roof-line corners.

Gilbert Insall

Group Captain Gilbert Stuart Martin Insall, (14 May 1894 – 17 February 1972) was a British aviator and recipient of the Victoria Cross, the highest award for gallantry in the face of the enemy that can be awarded to British and Commonwealth subjects.

First World War
Insall was commissioned as a second lieutenant (on probation) in the Royal Flying Corps on 14 March 1915, during the First World War. He was appointed a Flying Officer in the RFC on 16 July, and was confirmed in his rank from the same date.

Insall was 21 years old, and a second lieutenant in the 11 Squadron, Royal Flying Corps when he won the Victoria Cross (VC).

On 7 November 1915 near Achiet-le-Grand, France, Second Lieutenant Insall, on patrol in Vickers F.B.5 Gunbus No. 5074 with 1st Class Air Mechanic T. H. Donald, engaged an Aviatik two-seater and forced the German pilot to make a rough landing in a ploughed field. Seeing the air crew scramble out and prepare to fire, Insall dived to 500 ft and his gunner opened fire, whereupon the Germans fled. After dropping an incendiary bomb on the downed German aircraft, Insall flew through heavy fire at 2000 ft over enemy trenches. The Vickers' petrol tank was hit, but Insall brought the plane 500 yards back inside Allied lines for an emergency landing. Insall and Donald stayed by the Gunbus through a bombardment of about 150 shells while awaiting nightfall. After dark, they then set to work by torch light to salvage their plane. After they repaired the machine overnight, Insall flew them back to base at dawn.

The announcement and accompanying citation for Insall's VC was published in a supplement to the London Gazette on 23 December 1915, reading:

"For most conspicuous bravery, skill and determination, on 7 November 1915, in France. He was patrolling in a Vickers Fighting Machine, with First Class Air Mechanic T. H. Donald as gunner, when a German machine was sighted, pursued, and attacked near Achiet.

The German pilot led the Vickers machine over a rocket battery, but with great skill Lieutenant Insall dived and got to close range, when Donald fired a drum of cartridges into the German machine, stopping its engine. The German pilot then dived through a cloud, followed by Lieutenant Insall. Fire was again opened, and the German machine was brought down heavily in a ploughed field 4 miles south-east of Arras.

On seeing the Germans scramble out of their machine and prepare to fire, Lieutenant Insall dived to 500 feet, thus enabling Donald to open heavy fire on them. The Germans then fled, one helping the other, who was apparently wounded. Other Germans then commenced heavy fire, but in spite of this, Lieutenant Insall turned again, and an incendiary bomb was dropped on the German machine, which was last seen wreathed in smoke. Lieutenant Insall then headed west in order to get back over the German trenches, but as he was at only 2,000 feet altitude he dived across them for greater speed, Donald firing into the trenches as he passed over.

The German fire, however, damaged the petrol tank, and, with great coolness, Lieutenant Insall landed under cover of a wood 500 yards inside our lines. The Germans fired some 150 shells at our machine on the ground, but without causing material damage. Much damage had, however, been caused by rifle fire, but during the night it was repaired behind screened lights, and at dawn Lieutenant Insall flew his machine home with First Class Air Mechanic T. H. Donald as a passenger."

Insall could not personally receive his VC in 1915, however; he and Donald had fallen wounded into captivity on 14 December 1915 after engaging Hauptmann Martin Zander and his gunner. While in captivity, he was promoted to lieutenant, on 1 April 1916. Insall escaped on his third try, on 28 August 1917, and made it home over the Dutch border on 6 September. His VC was presented by the King on 27 September 1917. He returned to duty as the Flight Commander of "A" Flight, 50 Squadron, with the temporary rank of captain, on 11 January 1918.

Royal Air Force career
After the war, Insall remained in the service, receiving a permanent commission as a Captain in the newly formed Royal Air Force. On 1 August 1919; his rank was regraded to Flight Lieutenant when the RAF adopted its new rank structure. He was promoted to Squadron Leader on 1 November. On 16 December, he was awarded the Military Cross (MC) for gallantry in escaping from captivity as a POW during the war.

On a clear day in 1925, he spotted a strange formation of pits in the ground below him. He took a photograph, and from this one photograph came the rediscovery of the Bronze Age site now known as Woodhenge two miles from Stonehenge (Crawford, Air-Photography for Archaeologists 1929). In 1929 he similarly discovered Arminghall Henge.

Insall served in Southern Mesopotamia (Iraq) against the Akhwan in 1927–1928, for which he was mentioned in despatches and awarded the General Service Medal (1918). As a Squadron Leader he was responsible for reforming No 35 Sqn which stood up on 1 March 1929 and served as its first Commanding Officer for three months until June 1929. He was promoted to Wing Commander shortly after on 1 July 1929 and took up the post of Station Commander at RAF Donibristle later that month. On 23 July 1932 he was appointed as Station Commander at RAF Upavon. On 15 May 1934 he moved to RAF Kenley, again filling the post of Station Commander. He was later promoted to Group Captain on 1 July 1935 and served overseas in the Middle East before retuning to the UK in 1939 to fill the post of Officer Commanding No.3 RAF Depot at RAF Padgate from 1 April 1939. He served at this rank throughout the Second World War in a number of posts and finally retired from RAF service on 30 July 1945. Insall's headstone is in Nocton Churchyard, Lincolnshire. His Victoria Cross is displayed at the Royal Air Force Museum in Hendon.

Category talk:National Bolshevism

CfD discussion
Just so we're clear: This category was never listed for deletion. Category:National Bolshevist topics was listed for deletion. It was deleted and the articles in it were moved here. There was some confunsion, however, so here is a record of the discussion. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah ")]] 19:15, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Category:National Bolshevik topics
Category:National Bolshevism already exists, is anyone suggesting Category:National Bolshevik topics take its place?

Do nothing as Category:National Bolshevik topics does not even exist. IZAK 07:53, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * Relax. This did exist when I listed it for deletion. I didn't delete it. It was deleted early, so if anyone disagrees with its deletion, I'll undelete it. -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah ")]] 14:24, 23 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * I beg to differ, there is absolutely no history for this page. Can you cite the URLs or pages that show that it was ever listed at all before you wrote it here? Thanks. IZAK 09:16, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
 * There is always a history.
 * I listed the category for deletion at 11:55 on November 22. See.
 * Category:National Bolshevism was created on November 22 at 13:44. See.
 * I just restored Category:National Bolshevik topics. Check for yourself when I added the CfD notice to it. You can check when it was deleted and restored at Deletion log. (Restored: 12:55, 24 Nov 2004; Deleted: 17:56, 22 Nov 2004. Note that if you want to search the deletion log, you should look for both "National Bolshevik topics" and "National_Bolshevik_topics".)
 * Why would I lie about this? It would be easy to prove me wrong, and anyway, why would I bother? -[[User:Aranel|Aranel ("Sarah ")]] 13:04, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This is very confusing. Are we being asked to vote on the choice betewen having a category called Category:National Bolshevism or one called Category:National Bolshevik topics? If this is valid subject matter, I'd favor the first. Or are we being asked to vote to have neither, and that the topic is somehow invalid? In that case, no one seems to have given the arguments for doing so. -- Jmabel | Talk 08:19, Nov 29, 2004 (UTC)
