Talk:Exhaust system

message: The term used here is header back (exhaust manifold) though it is commonly refered to as an axle back. I am putting this back into the article. Comments? Zoli Elo 05:27, 9 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Also refered to as an axle back. 

message: Strictly speaking, the exhaust system is simply the "system" that allows the exhaust gasses to escape.  It actually has no relevance on pollution.  The "engine" (or rather, the combustion process) is the main mechanism for generating pollution.
Now, you can argue that the catalytic converter is a pollution prevention device however this has its own section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.210.106.59 (talk) 14:15, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  No reference to pollution? 

message: So dual exhaust redirects to here but nothing actually explains why.  I'm pretty sure the article doesn't actually explain what a dual exhaust is (compared to a... single? regular? one).  If it does, it's not presented in a non-mechanic friendly fashion.

thread_title:  Temperatures 

message: I have a number of issues with this section, none with citations but drawn from more than thirty years working as a (U.S.) mechanic.
First, the "With trucks..." paragraph, second sentence is expressly untrue; the side of the exhaust exit has nothing to do with keeping exhaust away from the curb - it has to do only with simplicity of routing the exhaust from the engine to the rear, which is not always a simple job given that the catalytic converter (if equipped) and muffler/silencer claim space in the same area as the transmission, transfer case (if 4WD), propeller shaft (driveshaft), axle, fuel tank, etc. As often as not in passenger vehicles, the exhaust exit is on the curb (passenger) side. MORE often than not, single exhaust in pickup trucks is on the (passenger) curb side; nearly all US pickup trucks with single exhaust have been equipped with right exhaust exit.
Next, the "When a bus..." paragraph about curved or capped vertical pipes. The curved or capped tips aren't there to keep foreign objects out of the exhaust, they're there to keep RAIN out of the exhaust.
Last, the "Lake pipes..." paragraph. Some cars may come equipped with "side exhaust" from the factory, but NEVER with "Lake pipes", which have no muffler/silencer but are empty open pipes.

Talk:Revolution from above

message: The examples list given in this article seem to be highly incomplete, and some of the examples given don't necessarily match the definition given for a "revolution from above." Most notably, the suggestion that German reunification in 1990 was "forced against the masses" is a stretch, as while there was a sizeable percentage of Germans who criticized the execution of the reunification, the idea that it was an elite-imposed measure that nobody wanted is a laughable argument. Examples like these should be removed, and replaced with better examples whose status as "revolutions from above" would be harder to dispute. Royz-vi Tsibele (talk) 23:31, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

message: There are currenty a few separate issues with the article and I wanted to lump them together in one section.
# The date of the first construction is missing, but I can not find any sources on this myself.
# There is no reference about the removal of a VHF antenna of the KVLY-TV mast, only about the height. But that's probably an issue that should be discussed at the other article's discussion page.
# The reference of the newspaper article in the Chicago Tribune is dead  and it wasn't archived in the WayBackMachine. The Chicago Tribune has a new archive which also contains the referenced page , but it requires a subscription. However, this new archive claims that clipping can be created and shared for free, which would be a suitable reference for the article, but I have yet to find out how.

thread_title:  Miscellaneous issues 

message: The article states "currently the second-tallest structure in the Western Hemisphere and the eighth-tallest structure in the world". But the linked article List of tallest structures has it in the seventh place historically, which is if we count the Warsaw Radio Mast that collapsed in 1991. So if we go with "currently", then it's sixth – but actually fifth, since the Petronius Platform is mostly underwater. In summation, not counting the Petronius Platform, the KRDK-TV mast would be first in the Western Hemisphere, fifth in the world. By counting both the Petronius Platform and the Warsaw Radio Mast, it would be third in the Western Hemisphere, seventh in the world. Either way, this article needs fixing.

The somewhat negative connotation that the word has acquired is based on real experiences by real people and  not just on anti-cult propaganda.

Talk:Bengal tiger

message: I wanted to share some numbers regarding the food intake.
In Sunquist study tigresses from Nepal consumed 46 kg per prey (Staying with it for 3 days) and made 40-50 kills per year thus eating on a daily basis minimum 5-6.3 kg. And 2 males ate 57 kg per prey (staying with it for 3 days)and made 40-50 killls thus eating at MINIMUM 6.3-7.8 kg on a daily basis but according to the data. But generally males should eat 1.5x more(used for lion and tigers becaus the dimorphism is equal) than females and as the data for males were just for 1 prey and for 2 males therefore the number of 1.5 should be used, which will give 7.5-9.5 kg per day.
As there some other factors like scavenging or whatever sunquist says around 8.5-10 kg per day (3100-3700 kg a year) should be the case for males and for females 7-9 kg (2600-3300 kg per year).
The source for the Nepal Tigers can be found in the link. Pages are 89/90 for the PDF pages or 82/83 looking at the page number from the study itself.

thread_title:  poor quality? 

message: Hello,
There is a user named Tjkil and Bhagya Mani who are deleting a certain part over and over again in the "body size and weight" category. Btw I suspect that they are the same users as both are doing the same in different topics. 
Dr Yamaguchi made in his study a very good summary about the chitwan tigers. As the 2 tigers of 270+ kg were so heavy he pointed out the capture method from the nepalese project more seriously as they baited tigers with carcasses, which indicates that the weight includes a large amount of stomach content. Apparently this does not fit to the agenda of these people and therefore i decided to end this here in a talk section.
The source is "What is a tiger?" from Yamaguchi et al 2010 (Lowest paragraph in page 54)
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/266794969_What_is_a_tiger
If they delete it again, someone has to make some serious decisions.

thread_title: Amazing

message: I removed what I believe is the false statment that L(p,q) is 
diffeomorphic to L(p',q') iff p=p' and q=q'.
I believe the correct condition is that p=p' and either q=q' or q=1/q' (where the arithmetic and equalities are mod p).
Actually, q = -q' also yields the same lens space if one deals with
unoriented 3-folds, as presumably is the default assumption.
If someone can confirm this information, they should add it to the main article.

thread_title: Watkins

message: I found the original definition painful to read and somewhat imprecise.  Hence I completely rewrote it.  Instead of giving just the definition for arbitrary dimensions, I first define the 3-dimensional lens spaces as this is what most readers will be interested in (including me).  The general case is then just a simple modification.  I hope that it is now is easier to read and understand. 
The infinite dimensional case needs a bit more care.  The current version is somewhat laconic.  Moreover, I am not sure whether a wikipedia-article needs this generality.  Thus I have deleted this case in my edit:
<We can also define the infinite-dimensional lens spaces as follows. These are the spaces L(p;q_1,q_2,\ldots) formed from the union of the increasing sequence of spaces L(p;q_1,\ldots,q_n) for n=1,2,\ldots. As before, the q_1,q_2,\ldots must be coprime to p.>
I am also not sure whether the  additional section on the 3-dimensional case is now really needed.  If noone objects, I will delete it in a few weeks.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Bishonen

message: Just adding my retroactive support. I tried to convince her to take the job long ago, and there really should be no controversy about it. Bishonen is extremely level-headed and knows Wikipedia in great depth. I definitely would have added my vote to the long, long list, had I been around at the time.
I don't have a real problem with campaigning, although I think it is unnecessary for RfA. I understand completely why she was searching confirmation from the IRC room, and I think that every current admin monitored the progress of his/her RfA very closely at the time, even though some might not want to admit it. It is human to be self-conscious and to seek the approval of others — and in the end, that kind of social behavior is likely positive for Wikipedia. You will notice that most trolls don't go through great lengths to get approval for their actions (some, Alex in particular, are the exception to the rule).
I think that RfA is getting an unwarranted amount of attention. Sure, it is an important function, but 100+ votes takes a lot of work that could have been spent on other parts of Wikipedia. On an ideal Wikipedia, admins would be promoted on 5 support votes, none oppose. I try to abstain from voting if my vote is very unlikely to change anything. Hypocritical as I am, I would have made an exception in this case. — David Remahl 18:36, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
