Talk:United States Congressional Joint Committee on the Conduct of the War

message: I do not currently have the energy to edit this myself, but the recent additions about Bruce Tap read more like a review of his book than a series of well integrated comments about the committee itself. Hal Jespersen 17:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The Tap book is the only scholarly study in 100 years, so it deserves pride of place as a reference. There is no evaluation of the book whatever, just a summary of his conclusions. Rjensen 18:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

text: I am just reading that material now, and have long held your view, but haven't worked this in. I especially resent the (IMHO) inaccurate summary of Tap's position, but just haven't mustered the energy to get to this.

thread_title: Citations

message: The opening paragraph of the article, within each of its three sentences, has a decided prejudicial tone not in keeping with the notions of neutrality that I understood to be Wiki standard. As valid as some criticisms may be, they are better proven by annotated evidence than by unsubstantiated opinion and they are better made mention only by conjecture in an introductory paragraph with conclusions reserved for a more detailed discussion with appropriate citations. I make no direct edit at this time but am willing to suggest substitute language. - Zanski (talk) 20:19, 15 March 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: I've slightly toned-down the lede in line with these comments. But I'm not clear what the neutrality tag is driving at. Are you wanting more mention of the other functions, such as treatment of black prisoners and suppression of cross-border trading? There is no question that the Committee's inquests did encourage mistrust between commanders, and generally poisoned the atmosphere. Valetude (talk) 10:44, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm the page creator and am very unimpressed myself with the way this lede reads. Based on my reading of Williams and Tap, the committee was most notorious for its non-standard and inquisitorial processes and for attempting to move the Lincoln administration's soldiers towards the Radical Republican position by politicizing actions of military commanders (getting the generals in line with the radicals).

Portal talk:Wales

message: WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,      — The Transhumanist    07:50, 2 May 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Solemn Mass

message: The term Solemn Mass was traditionally used in the U.S.  just check the Baltimore Ceremonial, or any other guide to the ceremonies of the Mass.  The Cathoilic Encyclopedia was primarily a British production with lots of articles from British experts like Adrian Fortescue..  (unsigned contribution by MiguelJoseErnst)
...but, unless I am mistaken, was published and used mainly in the United States of America.
In any case, why choose for Wikipedia a usage that seems to have been limited to one English-speaking country and that appears not to have been without rival even in that country.  When and where I grew up and studied and was ordained, before the Second Vatican Council, nobody ever understood by High Mass anything other than what in Latin is called Missa solemnis; and we knew the Missa Cantata, and never imagined that anyone anywhere called it a high Mass.  This is true not only of Britain and Ireland, but also of Australia and New Zealand, and no doubt of most if not all English-speaking countries except the United States.  Isn't Wikipedia meant to be international, not just American?  It seems logical therefore to use the international terms principally, adding a note about the different usage, which you assure me about, in one country.

Talk:Pertussis toxin

message: With regard to the mechanism of action of the pertussis toxin, I believe that the statement that 'since the G alpha subunits remain in their GDP bound, inactive state, they are unable to inhibit adenylyl cyclase, thus keeping levels of adenylyl cyclase and cAMP elevated' is not wholly correct. From my understanding, purtussis toxin alters the G (alpha i) subunit so that GDP can not be replaced by GTP. Since this keeps it in its inactive state activation of adenylyl cyclase is impossible and hence cAMP concentration in the cell will fall (not be elevated)
:"Not activation, but inhibition of adenylyl cyclase is impossible...", interesting though that the cholera toxin locks an αs(stimulatory) subunit in the active state, while the pertussis toxin locks an αi(inhibitory) subunit in the inactive state, essentially leading both to increases in cAMP... Any source for confirming that this is correct?--77.57.195.215 (talk) 18:08, 14 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Principle of minimum energy

message: I wouldn't say that the problem with the article is one of neutrality.    Rather the difficulty is that the author wanted to address a misconception about the difference between energy and free energy and he/she lost sight of the rest of the content that the article needed.     So I think this article is a sincere is somewhat ill-conceived attempt to address a subject that WP:Physics should address.    However, I would think that the topic would be better addressed under free energy or canonical ensemble rather than principle of minimum energy, which is a bit of an obscure title. Alison Chaiken 18:32, 16 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I have moved the former contents of the page to the  minimum total potential energy principle page which is essentially the same thing. I have replaced it with the minimum energy principle for constant-entropy systems, as described in Callen (1985) "Thermodynamics and and introduction to Thermostatistics". PAR 02:09, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Move to [[minimum total potential energy principle]] and replacement 

message: I think it's worth pointing out that an open system (open to particles and energy) in a fixed volume tries to reach the minimum of Grand potential rather than a minimum of Helmholtz potential.
The article as is focusses on fixed-mass systems.
I am however not 100% familiar with this stuff, so I'll leave it to someone else for now. --Nanite (talk) 12:21, 26 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The article's title is minimum energy principle.  This reasonably precludes considering systems that are open to energy.  The Grand potential is a thermodynamic potential, and so could well be included in an article on the general topic of all thermodynamic potentials, but there is really no need to include it here, not even to mention it.  Too much inclusion just makes things more incomprehensible.98.109.241.146 (talk) 05:12, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The red saltire does not represent NI.  Please read the Flag of Northern Ireland article.  The Union Flag is the flag of Great Britain - the old union flag is no longer appropriate.

I don't want a revert war but this must be addressed - clearly you are going to persist.

The flag itself denotes that the creator of it excludes Northern Ireland in particular given that, as noted elsewhere on this talk page, the flag excludes the red saltire.  On the other hand, the United Kingdom includes people from Northern Ireland.
