message: Article renamed; Raglan is a title, not a surname. -- Someone else 23:00 Feb 11, 2003 (UTC)
I have to protest at Raglan being described as displaying 'the promptness and resolution of his youth' at Balaklava and Inkerman. He harly took part at all and was virtually unheard from or seen. Except to occasionaly command frontal assaults by tiny cadres of troops.
Also despite the fact that home authoritites were to blame for the shambolic logistics, Raglan refused to allow the purchase of wood from Anatolia to allow for floors for tents to be made or fires for the men to dry out.
He was imho a true example of a thoroughly incompetant commander.
If no one objects I will amend the article to this effect.

thread_title:  Baird television co 

message: The British Patent Office ‘Television’ classification was granted on 24th December 1908. Baird was not the first to demonstrate a form of television. What about A. M. Low's public demonstrations at the Institute of Automobile Engineers and at Selfridges Store in 1914 of his Televista. This was so impressive that it was the subject of a US Consular Report. Low’s cellular flat screen Televista was more like our post-1980s digital television systems than any of the other early systems but 70 years before its time. Then there is George William Walton and (Sir) William Stephenson's 1923 patent 218,766. ‘Scophony Limited’ operated there commercial form of television right up to the start of World War II, something that was not achieved by J. L. Baird. Using valve (tube) technology, their Patent 213,654 describes the signal between the television transmitter and the receiver as a carrier signal modulated with both the low frequency synchronising signal and the picture data. After amplification at the receiver, a suitable filter separated the synchronising signal and from the picture data carrier. Please be objective in your articles and reference the other contributors. Baird did a lot but there are of course a host of others such as Alan Archibald Campbell-Swinton, Philo Taylor Farnsworth and Manfred von Ardenne.

Talk:Little Saint Hugh of Lincoln

message: When you compare this article with the articles on William of Norwich and Robert Bury you can see that this one needs help!  The whole story about the King and the taxes etc. is without source and it sounds a little funny.  If Henry didn't want the income, why did he sell the rights?  Was he conspiring from the get go?  It seems unlikely.  Also, there is just a little bit too much certainty expressed on the blood libel side.  It may be a blood libel, it may not.  It might be a case of ritual murder, and who's to say some  Jew didn't go off his rocker and do it.

Talk:Molar solution

message: I was just surfing the web and ran across what I think is an incorrect definition.  The molarity of a solution is measured in moles per liter of solution, not per liter of water used to make the solution.  In general, because the molecules of the solute add to the volume of the solution, less than one full liter of water will be required.
----
This article should point to concentration. Personally, I've never actually heard "a molar solution" to explicitly refer to a 1M solution. Usually it's a one/two/five/whatever molar solution of [whatever solute] in [whatever solvent], unless it's obvious what the solvent is, such as HCl. 
I understand what the article is trying to say but it could be very confusing to someone who isn't familar with the topic. A one molar solution is not one equivalent of molecular mass with just enough solvent added to make one liter; it's a solution where the number of moles of solute per liter of solution equals 1. That information would be better in an article on how to prepare molar solutions. I considered writing such an article, but I've read somewhere that tutorials/howtos don't belong here. I've also removed the link to percentage solution since it's just one of many ways to express concentration. --jag123 23:45, 11 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: The article on Molarity states "Such a solution may be described as 0.5 molar.

I was not a party to the vote, in part as I was still sort of a Jr contributor, having then only been kind of hanging around using this resource and occasionally helping out where info was requested, and didn't actually register until quite recently.
However, in the light of the present troubles (July 2006) I would like to ask a couple of questions and perhaps pose a hypothetical:
1) What is the size of this document (I know I have seen it somewhere, perhaps even here, and read part of it, but I do not remember at all clearly it's size wordwise) ?  2)Why is there not at least a link to it ? (still being a bit unskilled I am still not yet doing this [linking to other outside sources] myself), could somebody who is an expert here at least provide us with a link to the 1922 Mandate of Palestine ?  Hypothetical: some of us with educationss in law and diplomatic history find documents to be very very telling, one could build an entire article about it using the document as a basis. My guess is that given how quickly Wikipedia comes up when googling right now that maybe there could be a whole bunch of decision makers (or more likely their staff members) who just might have a use for this info, even a temporary post lasting only until perhaps the end of the current troubles could be a good idea.John5Russell3Finley 21:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

If it is Latinized we get Aegospotami, if not, aigospotamoi. I look back on the Internet and all I see is Aegospotami with but slight lip service given to the -oi form. But, do I find Aegospotami in the unabridged Latin dictionary? No, I do not. I do find Aegos flumen, but that is only one stream. What I suspect is some linguistic skulduggery. Some ancient name was turned into the streams of a goat by people who did not speak the original lingo. Have you ever noticed any flat bushes in Flatbush? Where are all the brooks in Brooklyn?
