Talk:Diamond dust

message: I actually came looking for information about the manufacture and applications of diamond dust (i.e., powdered diamond).  Rather surprised there wasn't at least a link to such an article, much less a disambig. 71.11.242.156 17:42, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A Google search for "Diamond dust" turns up a reference to Diamond powder as being the correct or preferred term for the dust of diamonds.

Talk:Firangoji Narsala

message: I believe that I've understood and correctly used/explained most of the historical Indian terms used in this article, but;
1. What is Mughal Sardari?
From the context I would guess its a position (general?) in the Mughal army.
2. What is the correct spelling of Shayeste Khan?
There seems to be inconsistency on how this name is rendered in English characters. I also found Shaista Khan in Shivaji .
3. Could someone confirm that Killedar means a garrison commander?
Or if it doesn't correct it.
4. I assume (from context) that Durga also means fort or maybe  a fortified town. 
Is that correct? But see current article Durga .
5. We're missing article for Sangram Durga, or maybe we're missing an article for Sangram and an expansion of  Durga 
6. Finally just general help with standardising the spelling and capitalisation of the historical terms and names  (and titles) would be very helpful!
As you can see I'm not knowledgeable about Indian history. --Cje 08:51, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: The LGA is the geographical area; the Council is the administrative body for that area. As such Kur-ring-gai Council is not a LGA, rather Ku-ring-gai Council is the body administrating the Ku-ring-gai LGA.
Either the article should be moved to "Ku-ring-gai" or the content should be changed to reflect that fact that the council administers the area, but is not the name of the area itself.

thread_title: East Turramurra

message: Various parts of Ku-ring-gai have always been known by descriptive designations such as 'east' and 'west' to indicate their location in relation to other places.
For some reason, some of these,  such as 'East Lindfield' and 'West Pymble' are now classified as separate suburbs which are distinct from 'Lindfield' and 'Pymble',   where as other places such as 'West Killara'  and  'East Gordon',  are not classified as separate suburbs,  but as 'localities' within the suburbs of 'Killara' and 'Gordon' respectively.
Does anyone know why this is so ?   It thought it might have something to do with postcodes,   but Lindfield,  East Lindfield, and West Lindfield  all have the same postcode.  I thought it might have something to do with having their own shopping centre,   but West Lindfield has shops, but is not a 'separate' suburb from Lindfield,   while East Killara has no shops, but it IS a separate suburb.
If anyone knows the reason for this,  some explanation would be useful.Eregli bob (talk) 07:41, 11 January 2013 (UTC)

message: There is no way to get to the movie or the song "9 to 5" UNLESS you do it in the search-slot itself. What a user would EXPECT from Wikipedia, the USUAL practice, is one of two things: "9 to 5" goes to an article but the first sentence is "For the song, see blah blah blah, for the play, see blah blah blah, for the movie, see blah blah blah" where "blah blah blah"s are links. OR, "9 to 5" would go directly to a disambiguation-page that says "9 to 5 could refer to ..." and a list of links to articles. Why kind of world do we live in where someone (and someone whose opinion matters enough to implement it in Wikipedia) thinks that "9 to 5" as an encyclopedia-search is so OBVIOUSLY a reference to a standard 35-hour workweek (and not to ANY OTHER TOPIC, no, not POSSIBLY) that no route FROM that search to the song, movie, or play by that name needs to be built in?2600:8804:8C40:401:1C64:8308:33BC:E2D6 (talk) 06:21, 6 November 2022 (UTC)

message: I'm not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that what we saw in the episode was a very clichée and falsified version of paganism, in many parts. Might it be interesting to include an analysis of misconceptions about witchcraft that this episode contains? It gives an interesting idea of how they may have thought about it in the 70s. --Mithcoriel (talk) 21:52, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it would be very redundant in that, following this line of reasoning, all movies and shows featuring such things should also have something similar written about it (most notably the Hammer horror films).  It would be better if such things were mentioned in the respective paganism and witchcraft articles (probably in a "In popular culture" section). DonQuixote (talk) 12:39, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

message: This section appears to largely consist of original research - fannish ret-conning actually - that seems inappropriate to an encyclopaedia. This section should be reduced to the facts (the three mentions of the destruction of Atlantis.)- Quark66too (talk) 02:56, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it isn't OR and certainly retconning is completely inappropriate: Nothing in the serials is contradicted or changed, but described to show that perceived—and widely discussed in fan circles—contradictions do not exist. The episodes' content is citable to themselves. The Mexico City Olympics souvenir and the North Atlantic geographic placement are cited (if not made as clear as it could have been) to the Cornell-Day-Topping book (since the episodes with these do not survive to be examined on video, and I don't know if the released audio track includes the former) already cited for the interpretation of Underwater Menace 's setting evidence. As for the belief that these are contradictory, I'll admit that Discontinuity Guide falls short of saying that they are refuting this, but if some one has a copy of Chris Howarth and Steve Lyon's Doctor Who: The Complete(ly Useless) Encyclopedia to get the page number, they flatly assert that there are too many versions of the destruction of Atlantis in Who. --Tbrittreid (talk) 22:22, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: That's an ENORMOUS statement to be making without a single supporting reference! The Bee Gees could easily be considered "...the greatest Australian pop band of the 1960s", so the claim seems dubious to me. Perhaps "considered by many" would be more appropriate? Either way a reference needs to be provided, otherwise the statement will have to change.
Furthermore, the claim of them "...echoing the Beatles' success in Britain" is also a pretty big statement to be making without a reference. What does it mean exactly? It could be read to mean that they were as popular as the Beatles, which clearly wasn't the case. I think something needs to change there too.

Category talk:Grape varieties

message: I am inclined to keep local names as entries rather than redirects, as it lets you write about local issues under that entry, eg Spatburgunder can talk about how it is grown and used in Germany and Austria. This doesnt always work though, and maybe the detail should be moved to the "standard" name? Justinc 11:27, 9 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: As I understand it, the wine grape, Vitis vinifera, is divided up into varietals. That is Cabernet Sauvignon is technically, Vitis vinifera var. cabernet sauvignon, for example. In shortened usage, this produces merely Cabernet Sauvignon. However, some "varietals" are actually a varietal+descriptor, and the descriptor should not be capitalised. Notably, this means that it should be Pinot noir and Sauvignon blanc (not Noir and Blanc). It's a subtle issue, but perhaps worth correcting at some point.--Limegreen 03:09, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: The article states "it is holomorphic on the unit disc and satisfies [...], but it is not injective since f '(-1/2) = 0."  Surely this is not complete without also noting f(-1/2) > 0, correct? 06:44, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No, you're thinking of real valued functions defined on the real axis. A holomorphic function f defined in the complex plane is injective if and only if its derivative is non-zero. As soon as you have a point z0 with f '(z0) = 0, you know that f cannot be injective near z0. The intuitive reason is that such a function, near z0, has approximately the form g(z) = a + b(z-z0)n for some n≥2 (Taylor series), and the function g wraps the circle around z0 n-times around the point a, so is not injective.
