Talk:Separate the house number from the street name
Localization
These addresses look...Dutch? It looks like the house numbers comes after the street name there. Other countries might do it differently--in the US we put the house number first. I'm not sure how to account for this. --Mwn3d (talk) 17:39, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
- Right, in the Netherlands -given in the task, Germany also mentioned- we use Dutch and in the other case we use German. Sorry, I have a long backlog of Rosetta issues, besides doing this a have also a job, women and kids.
At Royal Philips we say: Think globally, act locally.

The Rules?
Hi, you need a link to the rules for extracting the numbers (in English); or add the rules to the task (preferred). --Paddy3118 (talk) 19:42, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
Unfortunately a statement of the type "the right answers are here.." just means that someone could print the given text. You describe no algorithm to follow so any algorithm can be used to generate the output. You really need a description of how to do the separation. --Paddy3118 (talk) 20:03, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- In addition, there seems to be no justification in the referenced article for hardwiring 1940 and 1945. It's certainly possible to blindly translate Scala's regex to other languages, but it would be nice if it also made some sense to people who are from other parts of the world. --TimToady (talk) 23:36, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
- 1940 and 1945 also noted as '45 are important historic years, the years of the second world war of course.--Siskus (talk) 21:43, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
- The problem is that there are many such commemorative street and square names, (there's also for instance: 1813, 1944, 1953, 1960, 1992), so you will at least have to specify in the task description which years we should look for. Fwend (talk) 01:22, 14 June 2014 (UTC)
Vote for deletion?
Despite being asked for some algorithm to complete the task, none has been given after nearly two months and the later questions of this task page left unanswered. The author has also linked a new draft task Starting a web browser to this one, which compounds the issue. --Paddy3118 (talk) 19:52, 27 July 2014 (UTC)
