Yeah Gatlings were used, unclear from my research today exactly where/when/who...the one source - Socialist World Wide I think? -  in the Gatling article is probably not completely reliable but multiple references & sources do mention Gatlings being used in some capacity (one was apparently looted from a company store and used by miners - Mining companies had Gatlings on-site!) and also mention machine guns being used.

Talk:William McKell

message: "There was a predictable outcry from the Liberal opposition and the conservative press" refers to Chifley's appointment of McKell, a Labor mate, as G-G.  I think "predictable" is POV, and also a bit meaningless.  It's really saying that the outcry would have been predicted by some unnamed persons if they had got wind of the proposal before it was publicly announced, or if it were presented to them as a hypothetical possibility.  But since neither of those things ever happened - or, if they did, we have no knowledge of them - what we're left with is "We could have predicted that would happen", or just a case of being wise after the event.  It adds no value, so out it goes.  
By the way, this is such a minor edit that I predict there will be no outcry over it. JackofOz 08:38, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Controversies 

message: OPTN now uses a recalculated MELD score with blood serum sodium to determine priority on the liver transplant list for those with a score over 11.  This inclusion of sodium better reflects mortality rates.  
 https://optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/media/1200/optn_policies.pdf 
9.1.D MELD Score
Candidates who are at least 12 years old receive an initial MELD(i) score equal to: 0.957 x
Loge(creatinine mg/dL) + 0. 378 x Loge(bilirubin mg/dL) + 1.120 x Loge (INR) + 0.643
Laboratory values less than 1.0 will be set to 1.0 when calculating a candidate’s MELD score.
The following candidates will receive a creatinine value of 4.0 mg/dL:
 Candidates with a creatinine value greater than 4.0 mg/dL
 Candidates who received two or more dialysis treatments within the prior 7 days
 Candidates who received 24 hours of continuous veno-venous hemodialysis (CVVHD) within
the prior 7 days
The maximum MELD score is 40. The MELD score derived from this calculation will be rounded
to the tenth decimal place and then multiplied by 10.
<UPDATE HERE>
For candidates with an initial MELD score greater than 11, the MELD score is then re-calculated
as follows:
MELD = MELD(i) + 1.32*(137-Na) – [0.033*MELD(i)*(137-Na)]
Sodium values less than 125 mmol/L will be set to 125, and values greater than 137 mmol/L will
be set to 137.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.118.115.243 (talk) 20:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Photochromism

message: Here's some content than was in a different article. I think that it is best covered here, so photochromic dyes now redirects here.
The word photochromic is defined as a compound that has the ability to change colour when exposed to light. In the presence of light a photochromic compound will turn dark in colour and the effect can be reversed when light is absent. Photochromic compounds are sensitive to changes in light of differing wavelengths. This property of photochromic compounds has been used by scientists to create a new smart material. These smart materials are photochromic dyes. As the name suggests photochromic dyes are substances used for colouring/staining surfaces (like normal dyes) but which possess a photochromic characteristic. Thus, when the dye is applied to a desired surface the colour on the surface will change colour accordingly. Dyes are soluble substances which have a less stable pigmentation than paints. Dyes are generally not used for cards but are rather designed for fabrics and hair. Therefore, photochromic dyes give rise to clothes that are sensitive to light exposure or hair that has the ability to change colour.

This is not politically correct in France (I'm french too) , but it is on English Wikipedia. Every people here are listed according to their ethnicity. Get over it.
:But is it particularly relevant in the introductory paragraph?  It would be usual on English Wikipedia to mention it in a section about his personal life (provided it can be cited), and to include him in the appropriate categories (as is already the case).  However, as it stands, the positioning in the opening paragraph suggests this is a major part of his identity, and there appears little to suggest this is so.  In other words, his religious affiliation is given undue prominence, contrary to Wikipedia guidelines.  Contrast this article with Neil Diamond or Bette Midler, both well-known singers of Jewish extraction.  In neither of those cases is their religious background mentioned in the introduction.

Talk:Elton Mayo

message: I'm not sure of the format for editing these discussions, but this looks like a stub and I feel that it should be extended a little further. Elton Mayo performed many experients: one was how changing lighting conditions in a factory changed the ways the workers worked. I'd elaborate more but there's probably someone else who knows a lot more about this than I do.
Despite his influence, Elton Mayo has not fully established himself as a legitimate business figure to a significant minority of scholars.  James Hoopes, a distinguished professor of history (and Guggenheim Fellowship Recipient and Rhodes Scholar), points out some pretty major flaws in Mayo's work and thinking.  Pages 129 through 159 of Hoopes's False Prophets, 2003 Perseus Publishing, are all about Elton Mayo.  Hoopes' comments are well-referenced, so these appear to be legitimate problems with this historical figure.  Hoopes's ideas should be added somehow.
