Talk:Extraction of petroleum

message: "Occasionally, detergents are also used to decrease oil viscosity as a tertiary oil recovery method."
This is not true. Detergents (usually referred to as surfactants within the oil industry) do not reduce the viscosity of the oil. They reduce interfacial tension between water and oil, thereby mobilizing immobile oil, leading to a lower residual oil saturation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.177.48.33 (talk) 14:03, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't there be something here about WHY the primary stage is called the Kareem stage? I would imagine it is because legendary basketball player Kareem Abdul-Jabbar made the slam-dunk look easy, (so much so that the move was outlawed for a while during his peak). And the primary stage is the easy stage of recovery. But some of the young folk round these parts don't know who that Kareem was!

Talk:Hiroaki Murakami

message: Just to point out ... I have no intention of editing or discussing further.
-- The picture is not of Hiroaki Murakami explained by the article. See his official page: https://www.oscarpro.co.jp/#/profile/entry/296
The picture attached to this article, as of Sept. 21, 2023, is of a different Hiroaki Murakami, based in Warsaw, Poland (according to my quick web search; I have no prior knowledge of this person) and from Kumamoto, Japan, not Iwate, Japan. His official bio page & Instagram: https://www.filmpolski.pl/fp/index.php?osoba=1171467
https://www.instagram.com/hiroaki.murakami_official/
Of less importance...
-- Murakami appears in many jidaigeki programs, but has never specialized in the field. His main field is modern films. He started jidaigeki roles only after he became relatively well-known in other roles, which he still takes up more often than jidaigeki. Itsuki Ami (talk) 23:13, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Wiretap Statute

message: I'm no expert on the history of Title III, but COINTELPRO broke in the 70s and the Church Committee was in 1975, and the Wiretap Act was 1968; so I'm unclear how the Wiretap Statute could have been a result of this.  Were there early internal reports that Congress had?  Or is this simply wrong (seems more likely). At the very least, this needs to be clarified so that users not familiar with the relevant history are not dumbfounded by the apparent time travel capacities of the US Congress. --Lquilter (talk) 20:34, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Emprise de l'Escu vert à la Dame Blanche

message: This article looks quite alright at first blush, but on closer examination I have a few issues:
* no attempt at establishing significance - what impact did the Order have historically? (Even if it had close to none, subject might very well still be notable, but perhaps only as a mention on some "chivalric history of Europe" page...)
* no inline references, only "literature". What book confirms what claim?
* no real history - Order is founded, but what happens then? What does the Order do? How long does it exist? etc
I briefly checked Jean II Le Maingre's article, but it had nothing to add. It mentions he founded the order, but then goes on with no more mentions.
TL;DR: What's the point?

Category talk:Geographic coordinate systems

message: In the terminology that I have learned, Geographic coordinate systems are distinct from Projected coordinate systems.
I have only studied one GIS system (ArcGIS), so this may not be universal.  But in ArcGIS, "Geographic Coordinate Systems" is not related to maps or distances on maps; it is related to angular measurements: degrees-minutes-seconds, decimal degrees, etc.
In Wikipedia, various projected coordinate systems (map projection definitions) are listed in the category "Geographic Coordinate Systems".
Because this is confusing, I suggest that the map projection definitions be listed under "Map Projections" and that the category for "Geographic Coordinate Systems" be used for explanations of how terrestrial-type (hard-surface) bodies in the solar system are described.
The term "Projected Coordinate System" should also appear on this page, with an explanation that it is also referred to as "map projections".
