Talk:Wood stain

message: Is it the same as gloss paint?
* No. Gloss paint forms a layer on the surface of wood (or anything else it's applied to). Woodstain actually soaks into the wood, you still see the grain. Coloured varnishes form a layer on the surface but it is transparent; again, you still see the grain.
Can someone describe the difference between wood stains and siding stains? I have been using siding stain on a composite siding material and it is used in a much different way than typical wood stain. Siding stain may even deserve its own page.
More information on covering wood house siding is needed.  
I have a redwood stain on the siding of my house.  I would like to change its color to a lighter stain.  Do I need to strip off the old stain first?
Can I use a primer and then the new lighter wood stain?  Can I just stain on top of the redwood stain with a lighter color?
::My words or thoughts- Stain in comparison to paint is thinner - it will allow the woods natural grain to still be visible. The user must be careful an consistant - darkness / color can vary considerably based on application - or failure to mix thoroughly before use. Recently I have started using something - perhaps Siding Stain - labelled as stain - this at close range for outside semi-rough wood the grain is still visible at close range. But no color variation - more like a paint in imparting color. Supposedly with age it will deteriorate in a different manner than paint. Has better life weathering than typical stain - but also looks dirtier worse - a lot easier. With Normal stain it is a lot more work to remove it - in a sense you only remove the surface portion, not what has soaked in. Staining on top with a lighter color willl not reduce color as desired- you need to try and strip - but do not have to take back to bare- just get it lighter than next color you will use.

Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2006-07-10/More stable versions

message: Ummm... we should be checking our facts on this one. Stable versions was not started by Gmaxwell. In fact, I started a proposal called Wikipedia:Baseline revision that never hit the ground, and later User:Zondor started off stable versions. It has since evolved from there, and Gregory has been extremely important to the concept. I just think we should give credit where it is due: to Zondor. - Ta bu shi da yu 23:45, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article doesn't say that stable versions as a concept were started by Gmaxwell, so I'm not sure what the problem is. The story indicates in the lead paragraph that there have been a number of different variations and that we're focusing on one particular proposal, Wikipedia:Stable versions now, which quite definitely was started by Gmaxwell. Zondor made the first edits to Wikipedia:Stable versions, yes, but in the sense of the concept's overall history (which I'm not purporting to cover) that's so late in the game that it's not like Zondor invented the idea, either. Honestly, I don't know if it's feasible to identify who first suggested some kind of stable version in the sense of who gets "credit" for the idea, since it's sort of inherent in the original Wikipedia-Nupedia dynamic. --Michael Snow 16:34, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

If someone in Miami can take a better image of the building, or at least the plazas, on the southeast corner and between the two buildings, and canopy, that would be helpful.

message: Is it really accurate to say that Blanton introduced eighth-note melodic ideas that were "totally new to the instrument"?  I don't mean to diminish his contribution to bass playing, but there was extensive melodic work being done on the instrument in the prior century by the likes of Dragonetti and Bottesini.  Blanton may have been the first to play extensive eighth notes on the bass within a jazz context, but he certainly wasn't the first bassist ever to play eighth notes. 204.193.129.239 18:26, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I think we can do without the editorializing "the Original Dixieland Jazz Band (which was not in fact “original,” but was the first “jazz” band to record)" as the name of the band is being mis-read; according to Nick LaRocca as relayed through biographer H.O.Brunn (1961) the band was initially billed in Chicago as "The Dixieland Band" and it was due to a comment by a patron (who shouted out "Jazz'er up boys") that it became known as "The Dixieland Jass Band" until disgruntled ex-members left back in New Orleans started up their own "Dixieland Jass Band" claiming to be the one true and only version; Nick tells us that he emphasized his position by renaming the band as "The ORIGINAL Dixieland Jass Band" and so ODJB was indeed both Original and the band to be first called a jazz band.  Whether what they played for music would be what we might recognize today as jazz music remains debatable however, as is whether or not what they played was in any sense an innovation over the prior forms from New Orleans -- Thomas Brothers new book Louis Armstrong Master of Modernism tells us that Pops found the Chicago-style quite different, much peppier and more frantic than the laid back style he knew from New Orleans. --Teledyn (talk) 02:21, 10 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Carbon Trimer

message: I believe that it is the linear C3 isomer that is known in comets and interstellar space.  The Wiki list of molecules in interstellar space also appears to have it wrong.  A reference would be helpful.
Concur. Embarrassingly (as the creator of the article) I just ran with the name listed in the aforementioned article without chasing up whether the structure had been elucidated as cyclic. Anecdotal ab initio simulation of the species (by myself, and I realise that wikipedia is not the place for original research, but this is to demonstrate ambiguity) suggests an approximately linear diene, so I'm rewriting the article and amending the descriptor in the interstellar space article to reflect the lack of info. I can't find any info on the standalone molecule 'C3' in interstellar space, only linear C3Hx species as described by Kaiser et al. 1997. It is however interesting to note that Kaiser et al. 1996 confirm linear and cyclic C3H species in interstellar space w/ ab initio confirmation of their stability.
