Talk:TAZARA Railway

message: This page was called 'Tanzania Zambia Railway Authority' but it is a general article on the railway not a specialised article on the Authority. Most people these days would look it up as 'Tazara Railway', and it is also referred to as 'Tanzam Railway' like the Tanzam Highway. However, 'Tazara Railway' is becoming the accepted one, and I have changed it to that.Rexparry sydney 05:30, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

message: "Total length is 1,860 km and the final altitude is 1,400 m."
Is the "final altitude" the altitude at one end of the line? If so, which? Or is it the highest (or lowest) point on the line? If it's the altitude at one end of the line, why is it significant?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.234.220.195 (talk) 16:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  What is "final altitude"? 

message: 	The origin of the Tanzara Railway can be traced back to Cecil Rhodes and his vision of a trans-continent railway linking the Cape to Cairo. But, in the “origins of the project” section, nothing about this is ever mentioned.
	In the “political significance” section, the article talks a lot about the railway’s political significance for the African countries, but barely mentions the Chinese side, especially the motivations and calculations behind the Chinese move. 
	In the “construction” section, I would like to mention the great sacrifice that the Chinese workers made in constructing the railway which is obviously underestimated in the article. 
	Also, I will create a new section to lard the article with anecdotes. There are many interesting and educational stories about the Tanzara railway. I would like to introduce these stories to the readers.
	In “External links”, one link to a book is not functioning. I will sort out a new list of external links which will be helpful for these who wants to know more about the railway.
	In addition, I will also add hyperlinks to other key terms of article.

message: Userboxbottom keeps failing. For example, I'm editing my Userbox in VE, and when I apply changes there, it looks fine. However, when I save, everything goes into the Userbox. So, as a temporary fix, I have to go into Source, and make a new paragraph at the end of each part of the userbox.

replies: text: Hi The Phase Master. The documentation (which is at ) does not directly explain that you must separate userboxbottom from the last userbox entry with a carriage return, but the illustration of correct use there does contain that detail by what it shows. I will add that detail explicitly to the documentation. Meanwhile, VisualEditor remains a beta program with bugs, so using it is always a bit dicey. You can report VisualEditor bugs at Wikipedia:VisualEditor/Feedback. I don't have a lot of experience with VisualEditor but I just tested it at my user page to try to reproduce the error, and I couldn't even get the userbox to insert in the correct location, much less specify a carriage return. Anyway, it doesn't seem to be a bug with this template but with inserting it using VE, so maybe you should report the bug there. Best regards--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 22:14, 14 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Excelsior Diamond

message: I added several tags related to the article's odd tone, with statements like "The Excelsior Diamond was fated to have a tragic unfortunate end." It's not intrinsically tragic for a big rock to be cut into smaller rocks. For this to be encyclopedic content, we would need citations of relevant experts or historical figures who believed it to be a tragedy, as is done in the case of the one quote from Cecil Rhodes. Such opinions do not belong in the narrative of the article, however, and should be limited to such quotes or attributed statements, not phrased as fact or unattributed opinion (e.g., "is considered to be").

thread_title:  Tone / opinions presented as fact 

message: The section on "Discovery" should either be deleted, because it simply repeats what is already stated far better in the introduction, or completely revised to eliminate the reference to the finder named "K", which is an offensive term, and not someone's name. I do not have enough of the history of the diamond at my disposal to do the rewriting myself; but the complete reference [1] p. 186 reads as follows:
"The Excelsior was originally a crystal of 971  3-4 carats, and was the largest found up to that time. The finder, a native Kaffir (sic), picked up the crysal while loading a truck in Jagersfontain (sic) mine. He secreted it from the white overseer but later surrender it to the manager himself. The Kaffir (sic) was given a horse for his find. The excitement caused by the discovery was very great, for the stone was supposed to be of fine color and quality. The owner of the stone was unable to find a buyer willing to pay the fabulous sum he asked, so he had it cut into ten pieces. This work was successfully done in Amsterdam in 1904."  American Midland Naturalist Vol. 9.4 (1924): p. 186.

message: We currently have a number of articles describing pretty much the same concept, including Woonerf, Living street, home zone and complete streets. Can I suggest that we use 'Living street' as the top level article for the concept which describes it in its most general, and use the other articles to describe their implementation in different jurisdictions. For example, home zone would describe in detail approach taken in the UK and the historical process, Woonerf would focus on the Dutch/Flanders experience and Complete streets that of the USA (or should that one cover the North American experience including Canada)? An alternative approach, which doesn't seem as good to me, might be to combine the various articles into one. Any comments? PeterEastern (talk) 12:21, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Wheel truing stand

message: This quote in the article cought my attention:
"All wheels are measured by KGF or Kilogram - force. For rear wheel truing the rear wheel is going to have tighter spoke on the drive side while when truing front wheels the brake side spokes are going to be tighter than the drive side spokes."
I'm not sure what is meant by this, but it sounds untrue to me. Just think about it, if you tighten all the spokes that are loaded when a driving torque is applied, the spokes in the opposite direction are also going to be tighter too, aren't they? I made a few bicycle wheels, and I have never tried to torque the "drive" and "brake" spokes separately, but I reckon doing so will just give a tiny rotational offset in the hub, for the only counteracting force is that of the remaining spokes.
On the other hand creating dished wheels does generate this effect. The spokes on the cogset side of the wheel will have a greater force on them because of the different angle they are in (as shown in the helpful image in the article liked above). This effect is not relevant when a brake is introduced because it generally does not make the wheel any narrower, so IMHO the quote about the front wheel is just silly. 77.251.186.96 (talk) 18:12, 31 May 2023 (UTC)
