Talk:Bedel

message: Page has been requested for speedy deletion as this does not appear to be an actual term.  (Hits on Google are either in other languages or mispellings of pedal.)--g026r 21:43, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: It is a common termn for a nice guy, it happens very often that friends say "You are such a Pedel!" or "It's like Pedel!"--80.144.125.108 21:59, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: So, if I follow what both of you are saying, it's a term for a nice guy that's used among a small group of people. (80.144.125.108's suggestion that the term is in common usage outside of a small clique doesn't have any verifiable evidence.) In which case, it falls under the category of Slang used by a small number of people on Wikipedia:What's in, what's out (Section 7.14.1: Catchphrases, neologisms, and slang), and is clearly labeled as Out.

text: Basically, its a term deriving from a German origin. It is not used in written language, and only in special regions of Germany, especially in Lower Saxony. Nevertheless, it is an important term and in my opinion therefore good to know, resulting from that it has it's right to exist on wikipedia. 80.144.124.167 12:43, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Again an addition: I talked with some friends from Denmark, and they also have the term Pedel, as Danish is related to German. On this Link you find one guy who reached the status Pedel, the other guy is something like a mid-Pedel, which does not exist in Germany at all. 80.144.124.167 13:57, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: Since this is the "free encyclopedia" (at least it says that in the headline of every article), why shouldn't any rather "exotic" words, even if they are more often used in other languages, be in here? In addition to that, the word can be connected (and linked) to almost every positive word you find on this page. 80.144.124.167 13:57, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

text: I am coming from mid-Germany and heard this term once. It was used as a word for an extremely groovy guy, and since then, I used it several times. 80.144.113.151 13:55, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I've chopped out this line, although the text is preserved in the edit history. The original claim was made by Mr 68.5.79.124, and remains his only edit to Wikipedia. It looked odd, weak, and non-specific as it was, particularly after the line "He suffers from many mental delusions that make him creative", which raises the questions does he?, do they?, which delusions?, can you prove this? and says who?. If I chopped that out, however, the article would be too small to sustain life, which would be a shame as Blinko is definitely notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia. -Ashley Pomeroy 16:09, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Sentence probably mistyped

message: (1) Is C_{P,m} the same as C_P? Is C_{V,m} the same as C_V?
(2) If we compare the expressions in the two formulas, then we deduce that  R = VT β^2/α_T, which seems wrong.
Later we conclude things about liquids, solids, and absolute zero, though the law was originally stated for gases.
The problem seems to be in the transition phrase "It can also be expressed as...". There must be a hypothesis missing here, like "let's switch to general homogeneous substances, not just ideal gases".

thread_title:  inconsistent subscripting by T 

message: Mayer did not use "Julius" during his lifetime, preferring to go by "Robert."  There is one major biography of Mayer, an outstanding work by a first-rate historian of science, Kenneth Caneva.  His book is entitled "Robert Mayer and the Conservation of Energy."  Knowledgeable historians always refer to him as Robert Mayer or Robert von Mayer.  The title of the Wikipedia article should be "Robert von Mayer", not "Julius von Mayer".Ajrocke (talk) 13:14, 16 June 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Gustave Courbet

message: I see some sources that address Courbet as adjacent to anarchism but not necessarily as an anarchist:
* Brian Morris critiques Demanding the Impossible for not spending more time on Courbet but ultimately only offers Courbet's close relationship with Proudhon (similarity in aesthetic philosophy) and Courbet's final words about freedom (quoted in our WP article), all without making the claim of direct connection.
* A Social Anarchism interview claims that Courbet himself had no anarchist ideology
* Ruth Kinna's Government of No One lists Courbet's bio under a list of anarchists but doesn't make a direct connection
* The Met said he turned down the Legion of Honor to declare his freedom from government
* No mention in Mack's biography of Courbet (just that Courbet's socialism was "muddled")
My take, based on the above sourcing and his background in the Paris Commune, is that Courbet was a revolutionary socialist with an anarchist lean, but I have yet to find a declarative source on the connection. He died in the 1870s during the rise of anarchism, the period when other Communards like Louise Michel adopted the term, so it's possible that this is just a naming thing in a weird window of time. But from what I can see, most invocations of "anarchist" in articles about Courbet are in reference to Proudhon, so it's not necessarily a "defining" trait for Courbet. czar 18:04, 21 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Equivalent noise resistance

message: Is this a "noise resistance" that is "equivalent", or is it a "resistance" corresponding to an "equivalent noise"?  If the latter, I think it should be hyphenated, thus: equivalent-noise resistance; since that way it's unambiguous. Michael Hardy 23:11, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. — Omegatron 15:54, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: None of the above. Noise may be measured in units of resistance, i.e. ohms. If you've got e.g. a single-transistor pre-amp hooked to an antenna, this is a handy figure for figuring out how much noise is going to come out of that transistor.  linas 04:34, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

text: The hyphenated version would be noise-equivalent resistance. (FWIW, my credentials? I once did some GPS signal processing. For an omni antenna, the GPS signal is 20 dB under the noise. I learned the hard way you can't amplify your way out of that.) linas 16:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Mercury(I) chloride

message: Not generally used in medicine any more; toxic risks are too great. -- Karada 23:19, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: *The name calomel is thought to come from the Greek καλος beautiful, and μελας black. This somewhat surprising name (for a white compound) probably refers to its characteristic disproportionation reaction with ammonia, which gives a black coloration due to the metallic mercury formed.
I think that in its native state (rather than ground to a fine powder and cleansed of impurities for the laboratory) Calomel appears brown through dark brown to black. See for example http://www.geodil.com/image.asp?ImageID=219&history=0&categoryid=31 . This, rather than the reaction with ammonia, probably explains the greek name.

message: Removed the following, as it appears to be sourced mainly from the BBC article, which is an indirect source and somewhat inaccurate. The markings were discovered a while ago, not in 2003; the BBC article was most likely written in response to the paper published in 2003, now used as a direct source.
:In 2003, symbols carved into 8,600-year-old tortoise shells were discovered in China. The shells were found buried with human remains in 24 Neolithic graves unearthed at Jiahu in Henan province, western China. According to archaeologists, the writing on the shells had similarities to written characters used for thousands of years later during the Shang dynasty, which lasted from 1700 BC-1100 BC.

St Clair McKelway’s New Yorker Profile of Winchell, ‘Gossip Writer’ published in six parts during June and July of 1940, trashed him mercilessly, in an urbane and disdainful style. Winchell was so furious he had New Yorker editor Harold Ross and his staff banned from The Stork Club, at the time New York’s most fashionable ‘nite-spot’, where Winchell was wont to hold court until 4.00 am. He never ceased attacking Ross in his columns until Ross’s death in 1951. Even while Ross was in hospital, dying of cancer, Winchell claimed Ross was in fact hiding out to avoid attending a divorce hearing.
