thread_title:  Article 

message: I don't think the two articles of Basant Kite Festival (Punjab) and Vasant Panchami  should be merged as Basant Festival article is specific to the Punjab region. (User:Malikhpur)
:But they are the same festival, right? Wouldn't this represent a WP:CFORK? For example with the article Chinese New Year we don't have a separate article for Chinese New Year in California. Instead we have a subsection at Chinese new year#Festivities outside China which discusses the California celebration. Or for example we can look at Christmas traditions which has subsections for a huge number of different places where the holiday is celebrated. We don't have separate articles for Christmas Day (for English celebrations), Noël (for French celebrations), and Navidad (for Spanish celebrations). -Thibbs (talk) 02:36, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The merged article would start with a general discussion of the festival (i.e. common aspects of Vasant Panchami and Basant Kite Festival) and then it would have a section on regional practices. If the activities of the Basant Kite Festival are particularly significant then they would have their own subsection within the parent article. -Thibbs (talk) 17:29, 24 January 2015 (UTC)

I'd start with the Melway and the ABS stats, look up anything whatsoever that comes up, there's some very interesting stories that come out. Christmas Hills, Victoria and Roleystone, Western Australia are examples of what one can do with seemingly very little. Another way is to look at an established suburb article - eg Marmion, Western Australia - and try to fill out the subject headings. Orderinchaos78 15:46, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Helmholtz equation for guitar sound-holes 

message: When k is real then the solution is always a standing wave trapped inside a finite domain, with infinite phase speed. Standing wave solutions, by def, do not change with time. Thus, the separation of vars is valid. For complex k, separation of vars is not a valid assumption since the wave energy is not trapped inside a domain, and ends up being a travelling wave. A good example is the Schrodinger eqn. When the particle is trapped in a potential well (E-V is negative) then k is real and the static solutions can be found. These are are quantized in energy/momentum/spin. When a particle escapes the well the solutions are no longer quantized.203.221.203.224 (talk) 23:24, 3 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I've heard that American Indians did the specefic form of rain dancing,
which was far more than "magical rituals". They are said to have gathered and danced around large bonfires, set on a dusty desert or prairie. This, along with the hot air above the bonfire, caused a lot of dust, mixed with bonfire smoke, to move up, very high into the atmosphere, which in turn caused the moisture to condense and was a primitive form of cloud seeding. Is such a scenario possible? If it is, that it's much more than "magical ritual", it'd be rather a simple technology. Anyway, I'm very interested in this.
