Talk:Embrasure

message: "To give extra protection, the crenels would sometimes be fitted with wooden flaps, roofs or shutters that could be opened or closed as required to give the desired mix of defence and attack options."  Source:  http://www.stronghold-knights.com/site/article205.html
Perhaps this type of information could be added to either this page, Merlon, Battlement, or wherever most appropriate.  It's an interesting detail that is probably not often seen in ruins today as they were made of wood and have mostly disappeared. Nihola (talk) 22:11, 17 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Perhaps information on these wooden 'extras' should be added 

message: This article contains confusing misuse of terms. For example, it classes the arrow slit, a military defensive structure, as a piece of "domestic architecture." The article further says, "The etymology of 'embrasure' expresses 'widening.'" But etymology expresses nothing; it is the study of the origin and evolution of a word's meaning. The term "embrasure" itself expresses widening; etymology, if someone provides it, would tell us why it expresses that.Jtcarpet (talk) 22:33, 6 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Specific orbital energy

message: I have never seen a different equation for hyperbolic SE.  Hyperbolic trajectories are normaly associated with negative semi-major axes, which correctly gives a positive energy when using the general form of the energy equation.  Why present it this way?
Here is what is currently in the article:
For a hyperbolic trajectory this specific orbital energy equation takes form: 
:\epsilon = {\mu \over{2a}}\,\!
--Keebler71 18:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding the Sign of semi-major axis 

message: The article says "For a hyperbolic orbit, it is equal to the excess energy compared to that of a parabolic orbit. In this case the specific orbital energy is also referred to as characteristic energy." Our article on characteristic energy says characteristic energy is twice specific orbital energy, which also matches the formulas given.--agr (talk) 03:51, 22 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Characteristic energy 

message: The specific orbital energy for low Earth orbit appears to be incorrect. Given m1 >> m2 and GM for Earth is 398,600 km^3s^-2; given a 300km circular orbit (therefore a=r=6,678km) we get:
e = -398,600 / (2 * 6,678)
e = -398,600 / 13,356
e = -29.84 Mj/kg
Alternatively, potential energy -u / r is roughly -59.69 Mj/kg for r=6,678km and kinetic energy v^2 / 2 is roughly 29.85 Mj/kg for v = 7.726 km/s, yielding -29.84 Mj/kg. Freshgroundcoffee (talk) 23:56, 28 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Earth Orbits example: LEO 

message: There's a potential point of confusion that's worth pointing out. The equation "epsilon = - mu / 2a" is correct, but for an elliptical orbit of a small body around a large one (e.g., earth) it's easy to confuse the semi-major axis of the orbit with the radius at apoapsis from the center of the large body. Under that (wrong!) interpretation, specific orbital energy would be independent of the radius at periapsis.
But r_sub_a is not the semi-major axis. It's "(r_sub_p + r_sub_a) over 2". That's probably worth pointing out.

Talk:Doghouse

message: Shouldn't the "Other terminology" include some mention of a "doghouse" traffic signal? It is used at intersections where motorists sometimes can make a left turn without having to wait for oncoming traffic, in which case a lighted green arrow appears. At other times, a green ball (or dot) appears, and drivers attempting a left turn must yield to oncoming traffic. The left green and yellow arrow are placed next to the green and yellow ball, respectively, while a red ball is centered at the top, giving a doghouse-like appearance to the assembly. 66.234.220.195 (talk) 15:31, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

In a typical four piece group of this genre, the the three front men would typically play three of the four following instruments (possibly switching off among all four):  guitar, mandolin, fiddle, and banjo.

Talk:Cornice

message: I added three template messages to this article today because I suggest that the Geison section is too specialized for inclusion in the Cornice article.  A link to the main Geison article placed in a newly created See Also section would be an appropriate level of reference for the topic.  My reasons for proposing this change to the article are:
1. in the existing section of the Cornice article, Geison is proposed as equivalent or synonymous to cornice, which is misleading to the layman reader.  Geison is the Ancient Greek language word for that part of a Classical entablature that is named a cornice in the English language.  Geison is not a word that is in common usage in English, not even for specialists in architecture or architectural history.  The only sort of specialist that would conceivably use the term is a scholar of Ancient Greece or Ancient Greek art and architecture.
2. the Geison section on the Cornice page duplicates most of the information found in the main Geison article.

Talk:Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne

message: The first sentence of the article is terrible:
"The Congrès International d'Architecture Moderne (CIAM...was the think tank of the modern movement (or international style) in architecture."
First, the CIAMs should be plural, Congrès Internationaux d'Architecture Moderne, after all, there were quite a few of them over the course of 30 years.
Second, CIAM was not a "think tank."  It did not have permanent offices, employees, researchers, etc.  It was a long running series of international conferences.
Then the "modern movement" is not the same as the "international style."  The International Style was the title of a book by Philip Johnson and Henry-Russell Hitchcock.  The CIAMs were something different, run by different people for different reasons.
I'm going to change it sooner or later.
