message: I question the statement in the second sentence of the paragraph:
:The first set of range lights in the United States were privately established by subscription at Newburyport Harbor in Massachusetts in 1788. The technology was not used in Europe until 1837, where the lights became known as leading lights.
In England, in the year 1763, two pairs of leading lights were established to mark the approach to the Port of Liverpool. These were the Sea Lights, at Leasowe, and the Lake Lights, at Hoylake.“Lighthouses of Liverpool Bay”, by John and Diane Robinson, The History Press, 2007 I do not claim that these were the first leading lights in Europe, only that the 1837 date is incorrect.

thread_title:  Original publication Date 

message: Something seems fishy to me about the explanation of Aries being listed in the almanac.  When I look at the sample photograph, I see an hour angle specified to very high accuracy, under the column labeled "Aries".  But Aries is a constellation, and the entire constellation spans a rather large range of angles, both in right ascension and declination.  I suspect that this column is really designating the First Point of Aries, i.e. the position of the ascending node where the ecliptic intersects the equatorial plane.  This would be logical because it would correct for time of year for which right ascension is measured.  Can anybody verify this?  I strongly suspect that this part of the article needs to be corrected.   CosineKitty (talk) 15:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I verify this. The column 'Aries' refers to the first point of Aries and is simply the angular difference between the geographical and the celestial coordinate systems.
Upon further reading, the wording makes it sound like Aries is a star, which is wrong.  It is a constellation. CosineKitty (talk) 15:36, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

message: Actually I'm not sure T Cooper is a woman and I'm further confused by the wikipedia article's lack of pronouns.

Talk:Logbook (nautical)

message: Logbooks contain entries that I presume are both dated and timed.  What kind of time was used?  That of the port of departure?  If so, then after a week or two at sea, travelling east or west, the time on board would differ from the time of the port of arrival by anywhere up to 7 or 8 hours, as well as possibly be the wrong date (trans Pacific).  Which would create erratic entries in the logbook.  This problem can now be solved with a GMT setting from the radio, but before radio, did ships take noon-time sundial settings and adjust the ship's time accordingly? 
This is aside from the chronometer worn by the first mate (I believe) which was used to plot the ship's position and which needed to be kept to some fixed standard in order to maintain bearings.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.15.119.52 (talk) 22:21, 20 July 2013 (UTC)

Dict-defs have no place on Dab pages, and the dict-defs that do belong in the intros of articles have to be limited to the scope of the respective articles, rather than exhaust the senses that might compete for the articles' titles.

::  Ete/Etai + reia/ria or by...
: becoming

Talk:Mashhad/Archive 1

message: (from User talk:Acegikmo1)
Greetings,
Here is why I think the hangings is completely out of place on a page like Mashad:
#What is exactly the significance of this news item? This is not the first or last such hanging in Mashad. It isnt the first or last such acts in anywhere in Iran in fact. People, including teenagers, are routinely hanged or executed. Should such news items even be mentioned on geographic pages? The incident you mentioned in MASS caused riots. I hardly see any similarity to Mashad. I guarantee you there are hundreds of thousands of people living in Mashad that dont even know that these teenagers were hanged. It was practically insignificant. And in light of the thousands that have already died such deaths in Iran, this incident doesnt have any considerable weight. Im sure you will not accept any of this, but remember that incidents far more important than the teenage hangings in Mashad have not been mentioned on the Mashad page. For example, the bombings in the Imam Reza shrine a couple of years ago that killed dozens, or the ongoing war with narcotics smugglers on the nearby borders of Mashad that have resulted in 30000 casualties in total. Or Mashad's acute heroin and opium problem. Or the fact that minorities were persecuted here. Or the "Spider" serial killer in Mashad, ad infinitum. So what makes you think these 2 teenagers are more significant than others to mention on this page? Is it only because it is a sexually related case? Now if this were some sort of incident like the 1999 college student uprisings that shut down the entire city, it would be worth mentioning. But this is not. I know. My brother and 3 aunts live there.
#Consistency. If youre gonna mention such things about Mashad, then you should be consistent and do the same on pages everywhere else. I'd like to see you mention gay or teenage slayings or executions on the main pages of Tehran, Isfahan, or even Wyoming, Texas, etc. Heck, the page United States absolutely mentions not even a word about the tens of thousands of Iraqis that have died. THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE SENTENCE ABOUT THE ONGOING WARS IN AFGHNAISTAN OR IRAQ. only a feeble tiny link. Now how do you expect me to believe you when you say youre not trying to smear the image of Iran? If you successfully put up a table about the list of executions and slayings on the US main page, then we can talk about doing a similar thing on the Mashad page.--Zereshk 17:05, 10 August 2005 (UTC)
