message: (I'm posting this to all articles on UK universities as so far discussion hasn't really taken off on Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities.)
There needs to be a broader convention about which university rankings to include in articles.

Talk:Bridge circuit

message: This article should be merged with the 'Wheatstone Bridge' article, as they are equivalent.--Ergman 23:29, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I support that, Wheatstone bridge is far from the only, or even main, kind of bridge circuit.  The bridge is a circuit topology that is not necessarily either balanced (for instance the lattice filter) nor linear (for instance the voltage doubler).  Merging it here would unbalance ('scuse pun) the article which should be discussing bridges in general. SpinningSpark 21:10, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

message: How did the term for bridge circuits come about? 204.210.242.157 (talk) 23:36, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Etymology 

message: The current definition is written:  "A bridge circuit is a type of electrical circuit in which the current in a conductor splits into two parallel paths and then recombines into a single conductor, thereby enclosing a loop."
I would argue that two resistors in parallel meet that criteria.  Yet nobody would say that two parallel resistors constitute a bridge circuit.  
The definition needs to be changed, but it's not easy to figure out what it should be.  The best I can come up with is:  "A bridge circuit is a type of electrical circuit with two parallel paths, in which the output signal, Vout, is either (a) measured at a node through which not all of the current flows, or (b) the difference between voltages in each of the two parallel paths.  
That's a laborious definition, so there has got to be a better way to explain this.  But to see why I wrote it this way, consider these circuits:
(1) Two parallel resistors does NOT constitute a bridge cricuit.
(2) A bridge T circuit IS a bridge, in which the output voltage is measured between a node and ground, where the voltage at the non-ground node does not get all the current.  (case a, above)
(3) A Wheatstone bridge IS a bridge, in which the output voltage is the difference between the difference between voltages in each of the two parallel paths.  (case b, above).
Anybody else have a thought on this?   I don't know the best definition, but I know the way it's written now isn't right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.216.74.168 (talk) 13:18, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Chonda Pierce

message: After going through this article I have noticed that it is written more like a press release than a neutral article. There is not one source to back up the claims included in the article and it continues to refer to Ms. Pierce as the #1 for various things and then refers to her as the most successful in other areas. Yet, we have no sources to substantiate those claims.

replies: text: I have undone this edit.  Whilst Cordless Larry may be raising a valid point, could I ask that he raise this as a discussion first.  Currently pretty much all the articles referring to ethinic minorities in the UK contain notable people sections, which are unsourced.  I will express my own frustration at having to remove from time to time individuals who don't fall within the given criteria. Names have been added incorrectly, but in good faith.  I would suggest having a debate about wether we need to source the names of notable individuals across the board, rather than arbitarily deleting a section of one article.

message: I omitted some statements in the last paragraph about people going to the Ledges at night to smoke marijuana and drink alcohol, and rephrased other parts of the paragraph. This should correct the "inappropriate tone" problem, so I removed the tag. I lived about a mile away from this park for several years, so I know the vast majority of the people go to the Ledges to hike, not to cause trouble. If the information about illegal activities at the Ledges is valid, then some kind of source needs to be cited, maybe drug arrest records and statistics or something like that.

Talk:Open Relay Behavior-modification System

message: It's gratuitous and unsubstantiated to claim that it was block lists that led to spammers discontinuing use of open relays.  It's far more likely that it was the success of a small number of open relay honeypots that led to spammers seeking another means of distributing spam.  Michael Tokarev ran a very successful honeypot in Moscow, one that had a brilliant feature: it logged the incoming spam on a web page.  The log included the IP address of the source of the spam.  The URL of the honeypot log could be sent to the abuse desk of the ISP that was the apparent source of the spam and the ISP could then watch the log and cancel the accounts using the IP addresses that showed up.  That quickly burned up the spammer's stock of accounts to be used for abuse since he had never experienced such rapid and certain loss of accounts before.  When the spammer was using UU.net accounts Tokarev could see, in the logs for the web page that had the log, the spread of accesses to that web page through the IP addresses used by uu.net: others besides the abuse desk obviously were being alerted to the tool and what it represented.  [Most of this is unsourced and private communication and ineligible for inclusion in Wikipdia.]  You can find discussions of the honeypot by Michael Tokarev using Google search.
The spammer shut down by the honeypot was a Ralsky associate in Texas.  One of the original open relay test messages trapped by the Moscow honeypot went to a server in the Detroit area.
The honeypot web page is still there, showing the sources of the last spam messages received before the honeypot was disabled.    
The Jackpot honeypot, designed to run on Windows systems, also logged the spam to web pages.  As it was a Windows program it made possible the creation of a substantial number of fake open relays that could be used to directly combat spammer activity.  Whether a "substantial number" ever exited is not known. --Minasbeede 00:42, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
