Talk:Generalised circle

message: I intend to add material mainly from the earlier chapters of "The Geometry of Complex Numbers" (Hans Schwerdtfeger) . It will discuss 
* how the matrix permits right-handed and left-handed circles
* how under stereographic projection to the sphere these can be seen to be equivlent (because the p[oint at infinity is just another point)
* how, also under stereographic projection, a degenerate circle (a line) can also be seen to be a circle like any other
* imaginary radii
* the equations for calculating the points at which two circles intersect (and hence for determining if circles are tangent)
* transformation of generalised circles by mobius transformations

message: clines are a reference to the set of lines and circles, thus a reference to generalized circles.
cleaned up the expressions of getting a general form of circles using z and it's conjugate and added {\left | z-\gamma \right |} = r , as this is by far the most common form for expressing a circle on the complex plane.

replies: text: Cline has an established and quite different meaning.  The meaning "the set of lines and circles" seems not supported by looking at the top items from a Google search. The OED does not give this meaning; it does however mention "conical line" as a synonym for conic section. If no-one contributes a source for this meaning, I plan to remove it.

replies: text: @JoergenB I added a source for "cline". There are a few others in a Google Scholar search, but you are right that it is a fairly obscure name. –jacobolus (t) 01:29, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

message: Trivia question web sites like to ask, "Who sang the theme song for the tv show Baretta?".
Their answer? Sammy Davis Jr.
Having lived through the era of when the show aired for the first time, I know for a fact
that this is not the correct answer.
So I began doing several months of research on this.
The answer came when I ran across an article by an author by the name of Jon Burlingane who 
is an authoritative figure when it comes to music.
This is what he told me on the subject:
Dave Gruisin was contracted to write the song.
January 1975
Show opens with an instrumental version performed by "Rythm Heritage"
Although you will find a note on the wikipedia page claiming "El Chicano" did it.
Yes EC recorded it. But ABC hired RH to do it.
September 1975 season 2.
Jim Gilstrap was hired to do a simple voice over.
ABC never released the recording as a single.
To my knowlede, Gilstrap has never recorded it elsewhere.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Richard bullis (talk • contribs) 19:49, 6 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:IOE engine

message: I notice that the "unreferenced section" tags were removed under the claim that they were "repetitive" and "not doing anything to make a better article".  I disagree. They indicate which sections have no references at all, such that they should be referenced if references are found, and may be deleted if they are not. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 20:10, 4 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: See WP:OVERTAGGING: "It is very rare that more than two or three tags are needed, even on the worst articles. Adding more tags usually results in all of them being ignored."<P>A single tag at the top tells you the article contains unreferenced sections and/or facts. Individual  tags point to specific areas where more refs are called for. Adding section tags on top of that? Redundant. It isn't as if the more you tag it the more likely somebody is going to come along and fix it.<P>The alternative is to say that for every , you need a  at the top of the section, and then another  at the top of the article. Three maintenance tags for one missing fact. Absurd.<P>All you really need are  tags; anything beyond that is histrionics, and as the essay says, they're likely to have the opposite effect and be ignored.  --Dennis Bratland (talk) 21:43, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

message: Lead: The term "pocket valve" is cited... and also mentioned nowhere in the main body.  It would probably be best to mention the alternate names somewhere in the body of the article, this may be done before or at the same time as the writing of a proper lead that summarizes the article. 
*Done. No citation is given for the term "F-head" at present, but the citation for "pocket valve" includes it and can be copied to suit, and other sources for the term can be used as well. Sincerely, SamBlob (talk) 13:35, 10 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: One major ref is missing, which would be Ricardo. He goes into quite some detail on the virtues of IOE, particularly in reference to the Rover. It's significant because it's in 1954 (considered "late" for a comment on such a "primitive" design) and he also describes it as "a form of combustion chamber as near to the ideal as any yet developed", quite the contrary to the crude and obsolete view usually held of it. Ricardo also makes similar comments about sidevalves in general, at least after his turbulent head, and being Ricardo he's right about it – at least for the pre-1960s fuel chemistry of the day.

message: remember, this is not an advert for the city, it should be expanded to include more information on the economic impact of tourism, not just the attractions. As part of the ongoing cleanup of this page, please consider the following-
* Is it UNIQUE to Colorado Springs?
* Is it something which has to do directly with TOURISM (destinations like historic buildings, the world's largest something or other), or is it just something for locals (malls and normal shopping centers)?
* Is this a list for the sake of making a list? REMEMBER- this is an ARTICLE, not a list.
* Does the outside world care about it? No one comes to the city to look at our suburbs, they do come for our HISTORIC DISTRICTS, world class RESORTS and HOTELS, and our unique HISTORIC INDUSTRIES

Other sites giving 1935 include this, this, this... etc.   Eagle and LeBlanc, Blues: A Regional Experience - which is generally regarded as reliable on such matters - gives 1933, sourcing it from the Texas Birth Index.  However, the Texas Birth Index itself (accessible here, but subscription-only) in fact has it listed as 1935 not 1933.  So, it seems to me that Eagle and LeBlanc are wrong in this instance, and that 1935 - as suggested in most reliable sources - is, in fact, correct.   Ghmyrtle (talk) 18:47, 5 January 2019 (UTC)
