Talk:Todd-AO

message: "The original version of the Todd-AO process used a frame rate of 26 frames per second, slightly faster than the 24 frames per second that was (and is) the customary standard."
According to Brian Sibley's audio commentary on the DVD of Around the World in Eighty Days the correct figure is 30 frames per second. [edit] This is confirmed by http://www.widescreenmuseum.com/widescreen/wingto2.htm .
If true this would mean the film could be transferred to NTSC video at 1 frame per frame with no pulldown. It might also result in a noticeable improvement in the soundtrack's treble response. Lee M 01:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

message: Why is this article focused on the Todd-AO system, rather than the Todd-AO company?  Wouldn't the discussion about the format be more appropriate as a sub-header within an article discussiong the Todd-AO organization?
:I agree - this article reads too much as a recapitulation of the 70 mm film article. The format information needs to be largely divorced from this, and focus shifted back to the company as a whole. The entire list can go, AFAIC. Girolamo Savonarola 17:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: They only used the 30 fps format for the first few films under Todd-AO, and all of them were also shot simultaneously in Cinemascope at 24 fps, so my guess is that the 35mm/24fps prints were probably used for transfer. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 21:39, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Denis Papin

message: Looking at the designs in the patents, they appear to work nothing at all like Savery's engine. Nevertheless, this article claims Savery's design was copied from Papin's.
For instance, the second diagram, showing a pump, appears to use steam pressure to push water out of the lower part of the cylinder. In contrast, Saverly's engine used the vacumme created by condensing steam to pump the water. In Papin's design the water is pushed on, in Savery's it is pulled.
I also have serious doubts about the effectiveness of this design, notably in comparison to Newcomen's version. For one, the cylinder remains in contact with the water throughout the cycle, which will lead to considerable condensation. This means that much more steam will have to enter the cylinder in order to build up pressure. In comparison, the pumping action of Newcomen's design was completely separate from the power cycle, allowing the cylinder to remain hotter. Additionally, given the materials and construction techniques of the era, the amount of pressure supplied by the boiler would likely be quite low by later standards.
While I don't mean to diminish Papin's work, claiming that Savery's is based on it appears odd. Notably hen there appears to be historical evidence that Savery actually got his design from Raglan Castle, which pre-dates Papin as well.
Does anyone have a real historical source for this?

thread_title: Nothing at all to do with Savery?

message: I cannot see how by any stretch of the imagination that Boyle and Papin can be said to be "examining Papin's digester". Papin is looking into space, whilst Boyle appears to be vaguely looking at the strange piece of furniture to Papin's right. The digester can be clearly seen behind them on the mantlepiece, whilst other devices of Papin's invention can be discerned on the top shelf behind them, i.e. the the steam piston and what looks like a cutaway digester. Also behind them is Papin's "second engine". The drawing itself looks like a 19th Century illustration and it would be interesting to know its true source (not the website where the same lack of observation is evident).--John of Paris 13:09, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wang Chongyang

message: Like many religious figures, while Wang Chongyang was a person who really existed, there are also traditional legends about him that are difficult to back up with facts for one reason or another.  (e.g. St. Augustine, after his death, swooping down out of heaven like Superman to save a baby falling from a balcony, etc.)   The difficulty in the context of this article is distinguishing legends about Wang Chongyang from legends about Wang Chongyang that Jin Yong/Louis Cha made up on his own.  That's why I suggested that we should try to keep the parts separate.  
Otherwise we will be in the position of having an encyclopedia article about an important religious figure that is based on a novel.  It would be like having an entry on Siddhartha Gautama (a.k.a. Shakyamuni Buddha) that is based primarily on the character in Hermann Hesse novel <I>Siddhartha.</I>  But if we left out the stuff from the (extremely popular) novels, then we wouldn't be giving the whole story.  We need both the traditional story and Louis Cha's expansions.

thread_title:  Adam Smith quote 

message: On January 3, 2024, I undid revision 1101468075 by 136.32.202.18 (user has no talk page) 
In my original text, I mentioned a print by Antwerp printmaker Pieter van der Heyden (c. 1530 - after March 1572), specifying the date of the work to be 1558 and referencing the Metropolitan Museum of Art which had assigned that date.  
On July 31, 2022 the use at IP 136.32.202.18 made a single change to the article: the print's origin date was changed to 1828, while the artist and the reference were left untouched.  This appears to be deliberate, as it required multiple erroneous keystrokes to accomplish, and places the result more than 250 years after the artist's demise.  As such, it is almost certainly a hoax and likely should be considered vandalism.  
This is the sole user contribution recorded for 136.32.202.18.  I have taken no further action

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

As for why it occurs, perhaps someone else knows a definite answer. I would suggest that, rather than being difficult to pronounce, its disfavor from initial position may be a historical residue: either flaps are preferentially formed elsewhere in a word, or else initial flaps easily develop into other sounds. kwami 22:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

message: There is some confusion on the web about 'lateral flaps' in Iwaidja. These are in fact quite different to the lateral flaps in Japanese, and to the presumably accurate sound file provided on the IPA's own page. Listening to this sound file you can hear clearly that the flap component precedes the lateral component, whereas in Iwaidja the opposite is the case. For this reason, we have employed symbols consisting of an alveolar lateral followed by a superscript alveolar tap and a retroflex lateral followed by a superscript retroflex tap for the two flapped lateral phonemes in Iwaidja.
