Hello all.
With such little talk on this topic, I am getting second thoughts on the future of HomePNA.
I'm so gonna get HomePNA LAN stuff in my new place. --65.147.29.0 06:11, 1 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Early comment

message: Hi ... 
Among the advantages of HomePNA it is mentioned that :- 
 --  A maximum of fifty devices can be connected maintaining 10 Mbit/s speed. 
Q : Is this 10Mbps speed an Aggregate Speed or is it 10Mbps per device, which means an aggregate of 500Mbps?? 
 -- The devices can be up to a thousand feet (300 m) apart, spread over ten thousand square feet (900 m²). 
Q : This I am not able to understand at all. if the devices can be 300 m apart, then the devices can be spread over an area of 70650 sq m (Pi * radius^2), why only 900 sq m ???
:Pobably done my a marketing person, not  a math major. :-) Anyway, yes, needs more technical detail and less fluff. W Nowicki (talk) 22:40, 1 August 2011 (UTC)

message: The article Plate appearance covers much of the same material, and the distinction is important to both discussions.  It would seem that it would be better to have this article about At bat with a section that discusses Plate appearance.  In addition the Plate appearance article is sadly in need of expertise. The article Plate appearance does acknowledge that the terms are often used inter-changeably except where an at bat is incomplete. --Bejnar (talk) 19:44, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Pinch hitter

message: The article contradicts itself.
"Uses" says:
: Player A, with 510 plate appearances and 400 at bats, gets 100 hits during the season and finishes with a .250 batting average. And suppose Player B, with 490 plate appearances and 400 at bats, gets 110 hits during the season and finishes the season with a .275 batting average. Player B, even though he had the same amount of at bats as Player A and even though his batting average is higher, will not be eligible for season-ending rankings because he did not accumulate the required 502 plate appearances
But "Rule 10.22(a)" shows the correct rule. The "uses" example is wrong because that player will be 110/412 (.267) even after the 12 ABs are added, and that's still better than .250
Someone correct this article  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.204.228.159 (talk) 01:58, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The quoted text deals with rankings, i.e. a list of players by AVG/SLG/OBP, not batting titles, which Rule 9.22(a) applies to. Whether or not to include a "padded-eligible" player in a ranking, and where to put him, is a judgement call for list-makers, and on that point I defer to the original text, since it has a citation (albeit dead). To this end I have clarified the Rule 9.22(a) part to only apply to titles. TroyVan (talk) 17:58, 7 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Pepper's ghost

message: I would like to modify and expand the History section as follows. If anyone sees a reason I should hold back on this, please tell me.
1. Connect the existing stories of the French and English pioneers in 3.2 and 3.3. Pepper's 1890 book (now online) tells how he tried to use his 1863 patent to stop Robin using the illusion in Paris but was defeated when Séguin’s patent got produced (which was for a toy peepshow version of the illusion).
2. Add to the account of Dircks’ role a link to an on-line illustration from Dircks’ own 1863 book which conveys very plainly the problem with Dircks’ theatre design.
3. Briefly mention Dircks’ intense recriminations against Pepper, expressed at length in Dircks’ book. At present only Pepper’s version is represented. 
4. Convey the large scale on which ‘Pepper’s Ghost’ became used in stage performances of ghost-themed plays all round Britain till late 1880s.
There’s more for someone else to tell re how the latter occurred in other countries too, but I’ve got references for this story only in Britain.

message: The girl to gorilla version of Pepper’s Ghost is shown in the 1971 James Bond movie Diamonds are Forever.

message: Paschal cycle is equally relevant to the western liturgical year: therefore, this article should be ammended to show that. This article should also be moved to Paschal cycle to accord with Wikipedia:Naming conventions. Gareth Hughes 23:17, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I oppose moving this page. The Eastern Orthodox Paschal Cycle is sufficiently complex and sufficently diverse from the Roman Catholic that it deserves to be treated as a seperate article.  To avoid the confusion, I would suggest this page the renamed "Pentecostarion." MishaPan 00:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Pentecostarion" would be incorrect since it refers only to the services from Pascha through Pentecost to All Saints. The entire Paschal Cycle refers to all the observations dependent on the date of Pascha. It therefore starts at Zacchaeus Sunday. If it's to be renamed "Triodion" would be better since the Pentecostarion, aka "the Flowery Triodion", is technically volume 2 of the whole Triodion, the Lenten Triodion being volume 1.

Talk:Give me liberty, or give me death!

message: The article asserts,
:::[Henry] is credited with having swung the balance in convincing the Virginia House of Burgesses to pass a resolution delivering the Virginia troops to the Revolutionary War. 
# Did Henry convince the House of Burgesses or the Convention?  If the former, was it persuaded by a speech given in the Second Convention, or by one given in that House?  It seems odd for the article to credit a speech given in a convention, sitting in Richmond, with persuading the House of Burgesses, sitting in Williamsburg, to do anything.  If that's indeed what happened, there should be a little more explanation.
# What was the resolution the body in question passed?  Surely not one "delivering the Virginia troops to the Revolutionary War"!  Presumably the troops were to be delivered to the Continental Army, or to the Continental Congress, not to the war.
