Talk:Hugo Weaving

message: MOS:NATIONALITY states that "The opening paragraph should usually provide context for the activities that made the person notable. In most modern-day cases, this will be the country, region, or territory, where the person is currently a citizen, national, or permanent resident." According to the lead sentence of this article, Weaving "has resided in Australia for the entirety of his career." Thus, Australia is the place in which Weaving is a "permanent resident" and is the place in which he has persued the "activities that made [him] notable".
I truly don't understand why other editors are so ardently against classifying him as Australian. It's such a weird thing to make into a conflict. It's pretty clear – both according to Wikipedia policy and just in general – that Weaving is Australian. Loytra (talk) 07:10, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: First, one does not become a permanent resident of Australia merely by living there for a long time. Permanent residence is a status granted by the Australian government.. Second, in international law, the terms 'nationality' and 'citizenship' are used interchangeably.. Third, no evidence has been produced that Weaving is a permanent resident, citizen or national of Australia. Weaving was made an Honorary Officer of the Order of Australia. Honorary appointments in the Order of Australia may be made to people who are not Australian citizens. Weaving is a British citizen living in Australia. WWGB (talk) 07:53, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

"C" status could be right, however, the problem with size of the career section is source material from which to draw. Due to his less than stellar career and his legal problems, books or articles are very sparse so making it larger would be difficult. I worked on this article because Richard's is a rather tragic story and felt it deserved more than the stub that it was. I tend to think the size reflects his current status in the history of hockey.

message: Rotating bolt is a method of locking originally developed by Ferdinand Ritter von Mannlicher and found in his Steyr-Mannlicher M1895 straight-pull bolt-action rifle designed for and issued to the Austro-Hungarian Army. 
I can't understand one thing about this article. Almost any bolt action rifle uses rotation to lock the bolt. It seems to me that Mannlicher invented not the method of locking, which has been known for a long long time before him (e.g. Dreize needle rifle), but a particular type of it, that "straight-pull bolt action" the phrase above mentiones, which means that the shooter does not need to rotate the bolt manually because it is done by a screw mechanism in the bolt carrier. But the locking principle is just the same as in simple bolt action: the bolt rotates and by means of this locks in place befor firing. 95.79.204.72 (talk) 01:36, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Jeremy Lloyd

message: Wow. Yet another person to miss the "party". See below from article.
In 1969, Lloyd was one of the invitees to a party at 10050 Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, Los Angeles. He overslept and missed the party. The hostess, Sharon Tate, and four of her guests were murdered by followers of Charles Manson.
Problem is, though I recall in the 1970s often reading that the murderers invaded a "party" being thrown by Tate, it has subsequently been clearly established that there was no party. There was just one visitor to the house (Sebring). One other victim (Parent) had visited only the caretaker and was killed when leaving the property. He had never met the other victims. Everyone else who died was a resident of the house. I recall another report that a Polish author also claimed to have missed the "party" due to a delayed flight. He wrote a book about it. (Can't find that report but I do have it in a book somewhere.) I have also heard that it was common for some time for celebrities to subsequently recall that they were the one invited guest who missed that party by pure chance.  I wonder if there are references for this. Did Lloyd himself make the claim I wonder?  Asa01 05:36, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Gravitational redshift/to do

message: *spellcheck
*improve diction, etc.
*use proper citation templates.
*bring the lead in compliance with WP:LEAD
The Wikipedia article on Gravitational Redshift can be referenced to Lang "Astrophysical Formulae" Springer Verlag, second edition 1980 page 579 equation 5-279.
I believe the first equation for z is correct, but the second equation is not correct unless a further explanation is given. 
Lang measures z at infinite distance from the mass center. Also in Lang the radius rs is the event horizon, and radius r is the location from which the photon is emitted.
With these explanations the second equation is in agreement with Lang.
These equations do not say what red shift would be measured at a finite distance inside the curved space of the same mass.

message: A couple of strange comments about them in the article, referenced to a particular textbook.
:However, it is clear that such a violation [of the strong condition] would violate the classical regime of general relativity, and one would be required to use an alternative theory of gravity
:However, this equation of state [w = -1] only becomes relevant above temperatures of at least 10^12 Kelvin ... The main reason for wanting to falsify the strong energy condition is to avoid the initial singularity in the universe ... The aforementioned suggests that a non-singular universe model would not obey the laws of classical physics at all times in the past.
This sounds wrong, for example, what about the cosmological constant? Though it may just be I don't get what it's trying to say, in which case can we clarify? --174.112.129.234 (talk) 19:10, 2 November 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It sounds as if these statements have been drawn out of their context. I suspect the relevant textbook is making these statements in the context of a specific cosmological model (like LambdaCDM). However, even then it sounds wrong as currently written (e.g. what about the dark energy dominated phase in the future of the LambdaCDM model).

Talk:Conflict (narrative)

message: Personally I think the history section is rather confusing because of some uncited claims and inconsistencies in History. For example, in the second paragraph: "Even in modern non-dramatic literature, critics have observed that the agon is the central unit of the plot. The easier it is for the protagonist to triumph, the less value there is in the drama." If the claim in sentence 1 is also true for "non-dramatic" narratives why does it immediately cite drama in the next sentence to back up the claim? This is ignoring that sentence 2, like many other assertions that conflict is central to plot, seems to depend on a reasoning that really boils down to "it works" or "it sells" and not much else. Also, in the first paragraph, the claim attributed to Plutarch contains a link to ennoblement although I could not find such a link on Plutarch's own Wikipedia page.
This also connects to a problem with uncited claims in the section. The Plutarch-attributed claim not being on his own page would not be that big a deal if there is a reference cited, but not only is there no references for that part of paragraph 1 or that part of paragraph 2, there's also only one reference in the whole section and it's for the use of the term "agon". Why isn't there backup for these claims if they pertain to narrative conflict's necessity or history
I think these issues should be addressed if conflict really is a "major literary element of narrative or dramatic structure" (another major inconsistency, this one along pages - the dramatic structure page currently chronicles many diasporas and structures, including the conflict-optional kishotenketsu, other than ones where conflict is 'built in', but I'll leave that page to itself here). 173.48.54.18 (talk) 13:30, 21 September 2021 (UTC)
