Talk:Avro Canada C102 Jetliner

message: the British were not willing to release the new engines to a foreign company for a civilian airliner after the embarrassment of the Rolls-Royce Nene engine being sold to the USSR. Consequently, the decision was made to replace the two engines with four less powerful engines
According to [] the Avons were not used because Rolls-Royce anticipated a delay in getting the engine certified for civilian use, and they might therefore, not be available in time. Also, I can't see how Avro Canada would at that time be regarded by the British as a 'foreign company' Ian Dunster 09:00, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm sure it meant something to the person who wrote it, but the phrase "to allow 45 minute stacking" doesn't mean anything to me. I know enough about aviation that I can hazard several guesses, but it would be even worse for someone who knew less than me. Can we please avoid using obscure technical terms that don't mean anything to the average person, unless you take a moment to summarize in parenthesis?

thread_title:  "Stacking"? 

message: The text says that it looked similar to the Avro Tudor, but I don't see where they get that idea from. I don't really see any resemblance at all. When I first looked at the photo, I thought for a second it was a jet-engined DC-4. That's what it looks like to me. The cockpit windows are slightly different, but the vertical stabilizer and "mid" T-tail look like they are straight off of DC-4. Not sure what the wing planform looks like, so I can't judge by that..45Colt 06:45, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Black wildebeest

message: Please take this with a grain of salt as I'm a Wiki reader not and editor :)
When I came upon this page I was a bit confused how a species that had been widely exterminated in it's home environment could still be listed as least concern. Following the first external reference link I read this: "Indiscriminate hunting and restriction of the best fertile land for farming has reduced the population sizes of many African antelope, including this species. Connochaetes gnou now exists only in contained populations on game farms and in zoos (Macdonald 1995). The IUCN rates it a species of Least Concern because of the large number of captive individuals. (Macdonald, 1995)" which clarified to a point. This whole article needs to be expanded a bit (IMO). Perhaps the conservation status could be brought to a finer point.

thread_title:  Map update 

message: Animals don't typically prey on other carnivores near or above their size and African Wildcats frequently overlap in size with Jackals. Additionally, Wildcats are fierce and a Jackal would most likely be severely injured or even mortally wounded even if it won the fight. For a relevant example, European wildcats are known to attack and kill Foxes and their pups. Do European wildcats prey on Foxes because they frequently win fights against Foxes? 47.197.29.147 (talk) 03:35, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The cited source says "wildcats (Felidae)... have been identified from the stomachs of C. mesomelas". That seems definitive, although how common a part of their diet they might be, or even if they were carrion, is another matter.

Talk:Magnetometer screening

message: Merge with metal detector? Billlion 09:17, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think magnetometer is the right place either. A magnetometer measures the magnetic field. A metal detector detects high conductivity objects by inducing eddy currents and thus changing the mutual inductance between two coils. This is often thought of as detecting a 'secondary' magnetic field created by the eddy currents all though that is not strictly what happens, just a convenient fiction that helps one to understand it. I think the right thing to do is have an article at metal detector that explains how they work, something briefly about their uses, history, and then move the detail about the applications to other (new) articles.Billlion 17:51, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cape porcupine

message: I have experience hunting these porcupines. You chase them at night on a pick-up truck with a spotlight. When one is spotted, you drive furiously at it, and when near enough, jump down, chase it, and hit it on the head with a stick. Their skulls crush easily. They are a nuisance on farms, as they dig up fields and chew through irrigation pipes. Their meat isn't generally eaten, except by some farmworkers, but it is quite tasty. The quills are used for handicrafts, which tourists buy for exorbitant prices.
All this is just to make it clear that they do NOT freeze when attacked. They run away as fast as they can, which is quite fast. They will sometimes suddenly stop for a moment in the middle of a pursuit, in the hope that it might catch the pursuer off guard, leading him/her to run into the backward-facing quills. I don't know if this is natural behaviour with animal predators as well, but I would assume so. Someone with some sources for all this, and a better way of putting it, can include it in the article.

Talk:John Beyer (lobbyist)

message: *There was an accusation that John Beyer likes the Black and White Minstrel Show. All I can find on the internet about this is MediawatchWatch highlighting that mediawatch-uk's anti-porn crusade is shared by the BNP - a group that mediawatch-uk emphatically distance themselves from. MediawatchWatch then suggests that Beyer should try and bring back TB&WMS, obliquely alleging that Beyer is racist (as the BNP is known to be racist). I've written to MediawatchWatch to clarify whether they have a source for this. In the meantime, I've removed the claim.
*There was also the statement that John Beyer likes several other TV programs. As there's no source for this (and I've tried looking for one on the web), they have to go too.
*Stuff about mediawatch-uk itself should be on the mediawatch-uk article - all that should be in this article is stuff that Beyer has personally done (whether in the capacity of mediawatch-uk directory/spokesperson or not). 195.173.23.111 09:32, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

I happen to agree with you on this, but this is your interpretation of his comments and hence does not belong on Wikipedia. If you can find a review of the show where someone has said this, that might belong, but not in the way it is currently written.

thread_title: ISBN

message: I came across a remarkably striking portrait of a beautiful young Scottish noble called Sir John Henderson of Fordell (1778).  I was amazed to discover that this painting was the work of a notable Scottish artist whose name I knew and whose work I recalled seeing at the National Gallery in Edinburgh which greately impressed me -- these works on display were huge history paintings of Classical Greece and Rome and it was this genre which came to dominate his output and earn him his distinguished reputation abroad where his work was duly praised and highly rated.  I was not aware at the time of viewing his work in Edinburgh that he was also a portrait painter, hence my surprise and even dismay at discovering he was the genius responsible for creating this beautiful image which I regard as the finest portrait ever produced by a Scottish artist.
Today of course we are told that Alan Ramsay and Sir Henry Raeburn were Scotland's greatest 17th Century portrait painters by those who are supposed to be authorities on what constitutes noteworthy art.  Whilst Hamilton is not unknown in Scottish art (the fact that several of his huge history paintings are prominently displayed in the gallery signifies that he is recognised as one of our most notable artists) he is not, however, recognised as a portraitist of exceptional merit. 
One might be inclined to forgive the English for failing to acknowledge the full extent of this man's singular artistic talents as they naturally would be disinclined to further the reputation of man they would have deemed a foreigner, and a Scotsman to boot, lest he should achieve a status that put him on a higher artistic plain than that of any of their own artists. But no such excuse can be offered to explain why the Scots themselves failed to recogise that they had a portrait artist who could equal, or indeed surpass, the mastery of any other artist in their country and possibly in the UK as a whole. Is it possible that he was resented for domiciling himself in Italy, where he would end up dying, rather than making a name for himself at home and thus contributing to the country's cultural output? 
Whatever the reasons for this brilliant man's shameful neglect by the British cultural establishment over the past 200 years I shall let you decide by studying the above portrait as to whether or not he ought to be acknowledged as one of the few great masters of portraiture these islands have ever produced.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Donut186 (talk • contribs) 20:45, 11 July 2019 (UTC)
