thread_title: Image issues

message: The image "Abandoned steam shovel in Zamora, CA" is very pretty, but it is a Diesel, not a steam.
Blow-up full size and look at the stack. It has the same flapper-cap many Diesels have. A steam boiler sized for this shovel would be much larger and would be open or capped. Small boilers do not have the draft to raise a flapper reliably. 
Door-details and other tidbits also suggest this was built after Diesels replaced steam in most applications under 1,000 Horsepower. 
Steam faded mostly because a Diesel is significantly more fuel-thrifty while working, and a Diesel can be shut-off and re-started as needed. Steam took time to boil and go to work, and this energy was lost on shut-down. The savings could cover the higher cost of oil over coal. Steam persists in very large sizes which are rarely shut-down, notably electric power plants.  PRR (talk) 06:32, 27 December 2015 (UTC)

I propose with your forbearance to re-order the material according to - early history; theatres and companies; live theatre; opera and ballet; film and television (is this theatre?). This will take a few days as there are many gaps to fill.

Talk:Chebyshev rational functions

message: I have found what I believe are some minor math errors.
Please check my work.  In particular, I don't think the
orthogonality norms have n2 in them, and I believe
the integral has to be from zero to infinity.
I have also worked through Chebyshev's equation for Tn
to get a version for Rn.  It works for R0 and R1.
I will check it some more.
Having the function to be expanded only defined for positive
arguments makes the notion of the Lp space L^2_\omega
somewhat problematical.  We can only expand the right half plane
of the function.  Is there a "correct" way of expressing this?

Talk:KVEO-TV

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 23:14, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright violation

message: "Bromhexine is a mucolytic agent..."
Following that link takes you to the Mucokinetics page, which explains the difference between expectorants and mucolytics:
"An expectorant increases bronchial secretions and mucolytics help loosen thick bronchial secretions. Expectorants reduce the thickness or viscosity of bronchial secretions thus increasing mucus flow that can be removed more easily through coughing. Mucolytics break down the chemical structure of mucus molecules. The mucus becomes thinner and can be removed more easily through coughing."
Under "Function" it states:
"It is secretolytic, increasing the production of serous mucus in the respiratory tract and makes the phlegm thinner and less viscous."
Which to me seems to be the very definition of an expectorant, not a mucolytic.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.206.180 (talk) 00:34, 13 September 2014 (UTC)

I think we all agree that "bromhexine is a synthetic derivative of vasicine", and that the statement was only removed because it was unsourced.  I've tried a few times to get the a source to legitimize the link to vasicine, but it keeps getting rejected.
The last source had a publishing date of 1996, and it called bromhexine and ambroxol "semi-synthetic derivatives of vasicine", right in the paper's title, so no question the authors thought that bromhexine was a synthetic derivative of vasicine.
