Talk:1964 in music

message: Dear 60s and 70s music fans out there in wikiland (or is that wikispace?)
For want of an easier way of doing things, and following a question raised on another talk page, I am in the process of putting the albums released sections of the 60s and 70s in music pages into alphabetical order. 
Whilst I realise this may not be the best or most popular way of listing stuff, I reached the conclusion that other than going directly to an artist's article page, it was probably the most efficient/effective way to find that album that we want to check up on and compare it to its contemporaries. By way of example, if we were to put the following album in artist name order:
*Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5 - Jackson 5
we would [probably] have to include it twice on the same list: once under each of the named artists, whereas if we list it alphabetically there's no possible confusion(?). 
I'd appreciate some feedback on this, and in the hope that y'all agree with me (as you can imagine this is taking up quite a bit of my wikitime), I'm posting this note on all the relevant discussion pages. Please bear in mind I am only suggesting this for the albums released sections and NOT for any other kind of list. Thanx. 83.180.133.119 23:08, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Adjust senate member numbers per [[Sam McMahon]] resignation from party 

message: Babet has not become an independent.  Recognition of party membership is determined by the Senate separately from the party registration system and the fact that the UAP is now unregistered does not make him an independent unless the Senate later recognises him as such.  He remains a UAP Senator for the time being because generally the Senate accepts people as members of parties who they say they are members of, eg see Practice here: https://www.aph.gov.au/About_Parliament/Senate/Powers_practice_n_procedures/Odgers_Australian_Senate_Practice/Chapter_06  (Likewise the Senate accepts Pocock as an independent although he is the Senator relied upon for registration of the David Pocock party.)  I would edit the sidebar to return him to UAP but I couldn't see how. One of the media reports that said he had become an independent was later edited to correct the error.

message: Matt, Marks book includes a longish section noting the runarounds he was subjected to (despite support at the general officer level, if memory serves) in getting approval to publish.

This is one of the best books I have ever read.it amazed me how a chap,the age he was, could take this job on and be so good.
Even John Tillman described marks as the one that got away, in reference to him not working at Bletchley park.
You do not mention “ plan Giskes” where marks set a plan ,to prove the Germans had captured all agents sent into Belgium.
The chap was a genius.
Also the book is very well written and very funny in parts, a must for anyone interested in such stuff.

message: The advertisment features an egg-man sitting on a wall (in reference to the nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty), in which he talks in gibberish, extolling the virtues of purchasing chocolate-covered surprise toys.
At first he says "Kinder, yibol shakey!" and shakes a chocolate egg.
Then, he says "Me unscrabbly!" and rips the chocolate egg open.
He yells "Chocadoobie!" and also yells "Double chocadoobie!" when he opens the egg up.
He claims something in the effect of "Bobswabbo", and opens the yellow capsule inside making a toy come out.
He says "Toy!", and then "Yodel yum and choco scrum with muggy pupwubbo toys! Oh, grubbly!".
The advertisement finally ends with him saying "Me scrobble now" and he then falls off the wall. The advertisement instead of enticing children to purchase brand name chocolate-covered surprise toys, has highly unsettling effects on their behaviour, and after receiving complaints is withdrawn from television scheduling. 49.185.137.168 (talk) 14:33, 15 May 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  Further explanation of Experiment 

message: Xiulin Ruan, a professor of mechanical engineering at Purdue University, and his students came up with a white paint that reflects 98.1 percent of solar radiation. The white paint emits more infrared heat than it absorbs. For example, previous experiments showed this paint cooling a surface by 8 degrees Fahrenheit versus the surroundings under noon sunlight. At night, the ultra-white material can keep things 19 degrees Fahrenheit cooler. Wouldn't this functionally be a form of Maxwell's Demon? https://www.msn.com/en-ca/autos/enthusiasts/record-setting-white-paint-is-opposite-of-vantablack-currently-in-development-for-cars/ar-AA1e2jtu

message: The way I interpret what Henry Brooks Adams was getting at is that the universe is always 'progressing' through an 'organized chaos'.
So, I do not think he misinterpreted the original principle. To elaborate on the metaphor; I think he felt that ideology such as fascism or having to be 'a certain way, or else!' would disrupt the 'equilibrium' of how society most naturally progresses towards democracy.

Talk:Euston

message: There should be an article on the London district often known as Euston, encompassing the area around Euston station.  I'm not sure of the origin of the name - it may be a back-formation from the station, cf. Waterloo and Farringdon - and it's hard to give precise boundaries other than Euston Road and Eversholt Street, but the area certainly exists and is distinct from Camden Town, Somers Town and Bloomsbury.

thread_title:  Date for the second crossing? 

message: The article seemed to confuse the Severn Bridge and first Severn crossing. Surely "First Severn Crossing" should be taken to mean the whole link, including the Wye Bridge, whereas the Severn Bridge is just the suspension bridge element of this? The article used "Severn Bridge" to mean the whole link in one place, and "Severn Crossing" to mean just the suspension bridge in another place.
I've more or less fixed that now.
We should think about how this article relates to the Severn Bridge article. There is some duplicated information, and some things in here might be better in the other article. Perhaps a solution would be to include the information about the Wye Bridge and the viaducts in the Severn Bridge article, and make this an article about the Second Severn crossing? I don't see the need for a separate article on the two crossings together (the need for a second link can be discussed in the SSC article).
I've never heard the term "First Severn Crossing" before, and it certainly wasn't known as that before the second crossing was built (obviously – but it wasn't called the "Severn Crossing" either). JRawle (Talk) 11:34, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gerrymandering

message: The introductory sentence says "Gerrymandering is the political manipulation of electoral district boundaries with the intent to create undue advantage for a party, group, or socioeconomic class." But there are instances where that is actually the remedy to gerrymandering, not gerrymandering itself. When a minority is relatively evenly distributed throughout a state, then it becomes impossible to create majority-minority districts without manipulating the electoral district boundaries to advantage that minority group. In fact the courts have at times required that states do this in order to counter perceived "gerrymandering" that is preventing majority-minority districts. It seems to me that this contradiction should be pointed out in the introduction, similar to how contradictory meaning is explained in the introduction to the "Original Equipment Manufacturer" article.--Westwind273 (talk) 20:45, 8 June 2023 (UTC)
