Talk:Epoxy

message: Under the heading 'Consumer and marine applications' we are told:
"Large quantities of mix will generate their own heat and greatly speed the reaction, so it is usual to mix small amounts which can be used quickly."
I'm thinking that this is intended to mean that small amounts are used so that the amount is used up before it 'goes off'. It has possible confusion following the first part, in that it seems that if large quantities 'greatly speed the reaction', then using small amounts should mean that they can be used less quickly, rather than 'can be used (up) quickly'.
So I'm not saying that the current wording is wrong, just that it caused me a double take and could be better. Also, the statement isn't specific to .consumer and marine, is it? Wayne 10:14, 27 April 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: Bonding isn't an all-or-nothing. For example, typical epoxy does not bind as strongly to materials with low surface energy. If it is only on the surface (impervious fairly flat material) rather than soaking in, it can sometimes be scraped off with a razor blade. And it can be softened with heat or various organic solvents to weaken the bonding and allow easier removal. DMacks (talk) 01:30, 12 February 2024 (UTC)

message: In general, I like Dahl's sense of humor and educational approach.  It is unfortunate that he chose, with 'The Twits,' to reinforce the general prejudice against beards promulgated by tv & Hollywood.  A white beard is ok if associated with a large belly, but otherwise beards are villainized as a shorthand to establish in 30 minutes which is the bad side, similar to the old horse-opera shorthand: white hat = hero, black hat = villain, derived from medieval and even pre-Christian symbolism, but unfortunately related to black slavery/ racism.  As beards have come back into fashion, the subliminal television programming loses some of its effect, but this slippery slope were better avoided.  rags (talk) 19:54, 31 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:I'll Be There (Mariah Carey song)

message: Considering that they're the exact same song, do the J5 and Mariah versions of "I'll Be There" really need seperate articles? Ususally when articles are written on songs that are recorded by more than one act, one article is used to discuss all versions of the song (see "Who's Lovin' You", "Hum Along and Dance", and "I Heard It Through the Grapevine"). --FuriousFreddy 14:24, 3 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've heard both, extensively, and they are the exact same song (not the same record). The differneces between the records themselves are relatively minor, although no difference in the recordings would be enough to warrant seperate articles of the same song (especially when, as apears to be the case, such a thing is only done for a small group of singers, namely Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Chrisitna Agulera, and Britney Spears. It would hardly make sense to write articles for every major version of "Santa Claus is Coming to Town", since, if we are to exemplify a neutral point of view, we would have ot do in order to warrant Mariah Carey having her own seperate article. You and anyone else working on pop-star singles articles are the only ones wriitng seperate articles on covers; previously, one article per song was more than enough (and should still be). Notice that all of the examples you gave have been labeled for merger as well. --FuriousFreddy 06:14, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree they should be merged and that the singles are very similar. I'm interested in the history of the song more than I'm interested in an article about one particular version, but that's a matter of opinion, I guess.   I also find it annoying that this is titled "Mariah Carey song".  "Mariah Carey version" or "Mariah Carey single" would be better, but it's not her song.  Rossrs 13:34, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I took the test merge and did some revising and formatting, hopefully so that they read better combined. At the very least, if they are not combined, I have cut down a lot of extraneous information in the Mariah Carey article (both here and in the combined version), and the article should be moved to I'll Be There (Mariah Carey cover) or I'll Be There (Mariah Carey version). This should not be a rule, however; it should only be done in the cases of major (read: number one) hits that are notable in their own right (as it stands right now, there are only two such songs that I know of that apply: "Lady Marmalade" and "I Will Always Love You"). --FuriousFreddy 17:35, 8 October 2005 (UTC)

This list of industrial designers according to aesthetic style is deeply problematic - for example, Jonathan Ive could easily be classified under Modernist Design, as he works according to modernist design principles. However, he is classified as a Postmodernist, a style under which no design critic or historian would ever place him.

Granted, this page is strictly related to industrial designers and not architects or fashion designers. And as a formal field, industrial design has been dominated by men or European or Japanese ancestry. I don’t hope to see history revised.
But the field has become dramatically more diverse over time, and there are notable designers who are younger than this. Can we at least better represent Gen X, if not let a few Millennials trickle in? Can we include more women and people of color? Design doesn’t happen in a vacuum, and there have been plenty who were highly influential but were also highly underrated.
