message: The article makes an unreferenced claim that, except for off-peak local trains on the Harlem and Hudson Lines, northbound trains stop at the station only to receive passengers while southbound trains stop only to discharge passengers. How does this work? Does Metro-North forbid passengers from disembarking from northbound trains? Pburka (talk) 04:07, 6 November 2013‎ (UTC)
:This assumes that during the rush hours, the trains are too crowded to discharge/load passengers from/to Grand Central and only allows non-intra-borough passengers. Of course, this is WP:OR. Epicgenius(give him tirade • check out damage)  02:34, 7 November 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If I understand correctly, then, it's stating that people generally choose not to or have difficulty embarking or disembarking at the station? We should remove the statement, then, as it's not only WP:OR, it's misleading. Pburka (talk) 02:42, 7 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: It is not in any way OR or misleading, it is an accurate description of the station note in every Hudson and Harlem line schedule folder.

thread_title: Merge [[Zonal (Earth sciences)]] and [[Meridional]]

message: I feel that there is an etymological detail that is left out when discussing the source of this meaning. Namely, that the reason meridional might mean south or southerly is because to the Europeans, the sun (on the ecliptic) at noon was to the south and this was perhaps the best astronomical feature (again, opposite septentrional which refers to the astronomical feature of the 7 stars of Ursa Major); on the contrary, to the folks of temperate South America and Africa and Australia, the sun (again, on the ecliptic) should and does appear to the north. As such, meridional should actually mean something more like "toward the equator" or "toward the ecliptic" or "toward (or of) the tropical region". I'm not prescribing the usage, of course, but the article should offer more details on the reason it means what it does, and acknowledge that it's because of the source of the word, much like the meanings of "cis-Jordan" and "trans-Jordan" would not be translated well to Central Asia cultures.

Talk:Power Windows (album)

message: ===Geddy's bass===
The article contains the statement "Power Windows also continues the typical style of Geddy Lee’s bass lines". This is most definitely not the case, since he recorded most of the album using a bass unfamiliar to him (Peter Collins' Wal). It had very light strings, which made a dramatic difference to both the sound and Geddy's technique. I will find some references before I make any changes to the main article. -- Stereoroid 15:51, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: There is a sequence within the comic strip where Opus remembers most of his friends from Bloom County, and ponders their current wherabouts.

message: I don't know very much about the subject, but almost the entire article sounds wrong and phony. For example, at the bottom, that Bill the Cat becomes friends with the cartoonist, which is definently not right, because it is an imaginary character.

thread_title: Puking?

message: Looking at the third paragraph of the introduction:
Bill the Cat was inspired by a colorful economist named Bill Moore. Moore was a graduate assistant at the University of Texas in Austin during the 1970s, and one of Berke Breathed's teachers. Recognizably wild-eyed (and one legged), Moore also became one of Breathed's friends. His name was inspired by a local homeless man of Iowa City, Iowa, who was dubbed Bill "The Cat". Nothing is known of Bill's whereabouts from the early 2000's onward. It is assumed he either moved to a different town, or, more likely, is deceased.
The first bit talks about Bill Moore.. Then the paragraph switches to an Iowa man named Bill "The Cat". Combined, this leads to the next to last sentence being ambiguous to me, "Nothing is known of Bill's whereabouts".. (Or maybe this bit is meant to apply to all 3 Bill's mentioned in the paragraph, and I'm missing the joke)

Voltaire accused Frederick of having betrayed his ideals (and Frederick accused Voltaire of having abused his position in Berlin for his personal gain).

Breaches of public trust:

We need a better definition of what "public trust" is, before we can start classifying various things as breaching or violating that trust. Also, most of the examples linked above are controversial in themselves. A clear example would be better, where most people could say yes that public figure or administration betrayed the public trust. An example where roughly half of readres would say no they did the right thing and helped preserve democracy would not be a good example -- except to a partisan. --Uncle Ed 12:35, 30 Mar 2004 (UTC)

message: The classic "teardrop" shape of a drop of water just about to fall from a barely leaking faucet is called a "pendant drop" by physicists. On the other hand, a round drop of water sitting on a surface such as the roof of a newly waxed car is called a "sessile drop." A pendant drop has a tail or stem, a sessile drop does not. The Wikipedia article on Hysteresis (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hysteresis) does not employ the term sessile, but it references a publication (http://www.ramehart.com/contactangle.htm) that does.
