Talk:Harris matrix

message: Harris's fifth law
"The Law of Superposition
Law of Original Horizontal
Law of Original Continuity
Law of Stratigraphic Succession
These laws were published in 1979. A fifth law of archaeological stratigraphy has also been added following papers presented at the "Interpreting Stratigraphy a Review of the Art" conferences in the UK from 1992 - 2003."  And is Law five 'There is no Law Five'?  If not, can someone please add Law 5 to the article.  60.242.50.195 05:39, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

message: going to use this "Archaeological material would, to a very large extent, have been called rubbish when it was left on the site. It tends to accumulate in events. A gardener swept a pile of soil into a corner, laid a gravel path or planted a bush in a hole. A builder built a wall and back-filled the trench. Years later, someone built a pig sty onto it and drained the pig sty into the nettle patch. Later still, the original wall blew over and so on. Each event, which may have taken a short or long time to accomplish, leaves a context, a deposit of material, on the site." cut and pasted into excavation under section site formation Boris 22:06, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Haidinger fringe

message: "Haidinger fringes are interference fringes formed by the interference of monochromatic and coherent light to form visible dark and bright fringes. Fringe localization is the region of space where fringes with reasonably good contrast are observed.
Haidinger fringes are fringes localized at infinity. Also known as fringes of equal inclination, these fringes result when light from an extended source falls on a thin film made of an optically denser medium. They are also observed in Fabry-Pérot and Michelson interferometers. They can be observed by introducing a converging lens between the film and observation plane with focus of the lens lying in observation plane."

thread_title:  Article Unorderly 

message: I just reverted an edit that said this airport was "where many Western nationals" had been arrested, "allegedley" for drug trafficking, added by 192.43.227.18.  No reference was given.  While certainly Western nationals have been arrested for drug trafficking here, I have no reason to think that this airport is unusual in having more arrests than usual, in being prejudiced against nationals of Western countries (as the wording implied but did not explicitly say), or in arresting falsely.  However, this IP does have a history of adding inflammatory claims to human-rights-related pages that turn out, upon investigation, to be false.  (They also do supply some useful and correct edits, and signs suggest that it is the same person doing both, since they tend to be on the same pages.)  Therefore I removed this claim, on the possibly mistaken assumption that this is another example of the same thing. Kragen Javier Sitaker (talk) 18:06, 9 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Notably, this airport is where Barlow and Chambers were arrested in 1983 for drug trafficking; the same IP contributed both some new correct information and some false inflammatory information to that page.  I reverted the false information there, too.  With regard to this page, arresting two Australians in 1983 does not equate to arresting "many Western nationals" or even "two Western nationals", unless Australia has crossed the Indian Ocean since I last checked.

Talk:If I Had a Million

message: In her book "Charles Laughton and I" (published 1938), the actor's wife Elsa Lanchester revealed that there were two versions of the Laughton segment, one made for American audiences and the other for the British. She relates what Laughton told her: "In my scene I had to come through the door," he said, "and blow a raspberry at my boss. Lubitsch came on the set and said in his slight but delightful German accent: 'My God, Charlie, what shall we do? The English censor won't pass a raspberry.' So we made some alternative takes. In one of them I tried a gesture which consists of the upraising of two fingers combined with a shrill whistle, and this - to my complete astonishment, for it was only made as a joke - did pass the English censor. Either my education or the censor's education as to the meaning of the gesture is completely cock-eyed." Lanchester adds that "in the American version, the raspberry was seen - and heard."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Philipson55 (talk • contribs) 18:11, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

*Ellough Airfield (postal address according to Royal Mail, which lists two companies based there: RainAir and Beccles Airport Ltd)

Talk:Murders in the Rue Morgue (1932 film)

message: The plot summary currently states that "Mirakle ... abducts young virgin women and injects them with ape blood, in order to create a mate for his talking sideshow ape Erik". This badly mangles the most outrageously pre-code aspect of the film. Mirakle injects them with ape blood, not to "create" a mate for Erik, but to test their biological compatibility with Erik. The "mixing of the blood" he is after is not the literal one actually shown, but the figurative one for which that phrase was a period euphemism. His plan is to find a compatible virgin ("Will my search never end?") and sexually couple her with his ape. The resulting progeny will enable him to "prove [man's] kinship with the ape" (and therefore the theory of evolution), as he told his hostile audience he would do in the tent show scene.
Apes ravishing women in the jungle are a titillating feature of more than one lurid pre-20th century piece of "literature" and the meaning would have been clear enough to many viewers of the film in 1932, as it was clear enough to the several later commentators who have mentioned it in print. However, I have no proper citable refs for those sources at hand, and at least one respectable cit will certainly be required to sustain a revision of the plot summary per the above. Is anyone out there better equipped and up for the task? 66.81.241.72 (talk) 23:55, 21 May 2016 (UTC)

message: This article has recently been edited by students as part of their course work for a university course.  As part of the quality metrics for the education program, we would like to determine what level of burden is placed on Wikipedia's editors by student coursework.
If you are an editor of this article who spent time correcting edits to it made by the students, please tell us how much time you spent on cleaning up the article.  Please note that we are asking you to estimate only the negative effects of the students' work.  If the students added good material but you spent time formatting it or making it conform to the manual of style, or copyediting it, then the material added was still a net benefit, and the work you did improved it further.  If on the other hand the students added material that had to be removed, or removed good material which you had to replace, please let us know how much time you had to spend making those corrections. This includes time you may have spent posting to the students' talk pages, or to Wikipedia noticeboards, or working with them on IRC, or any other time you spent which was required to fix problems created by the students' edits. Any work you did as a Wikipedia Ambassador for that student's class should not be counted.
Please rate the amount of time spent as follows:
* 0 -No unproductive work to clean up
* 1 - A few minutes of work needed
* 2 - Between a few minutes and half an hour of work needed
* 3 - Half an hour to an hour of work needed
* 4 - More than an hour of work needed

thread_title:  Nomination for merging of [[Template:Infobox reality talent competition]] 

message: For editors in the group, we need help to complete the change of color template design in all articles so that it will reflect the way it currently presented in the post-ABC era (season 16 and later). Up until now, most editors had done most of the maintenance work but up until the pre-live show stage on August (for season 4), and no work has done yet up until now. If you are seeing this, please help do your best to make it consistent and help with the updates of the color schemes. This goes the same for the other seasons until season 15 (the pre-FOX era) as well, and other Idol season as well.
The color design was more contrast and bright, and so far it has been used in other shows such as SPOP Sing! (season 1) (so far only one show has done that using the template, for the record). The reason for the change is because that the blue box saying elimination and the gray header are not properly contrast and a bold typeface is heavily used for elimination. The colorful design is much more appealing, appropriate, and consistent like the one used for displaying results in other singing reality shows such as The Voice (American TV series) and The X Factor (British TV series).
