Talk:Snoqualmie Pass, Washington

message: Is there any good reason for the "(Washington)"?  Perhaps ", Washington" would be reasonable, but both are equally useless -- White Pass (Washington) makes sense, as there is at least one other White Pass in existence.  But what, are we worried about confusion with Snoqualmie Pass (Oregon)?  This name merely leads to unneccesary and excessive redirects.  Anyone object to this page being moved to simply Snoqualmie Pass?  (And anyone feel like doing it since there are going to be god knows how many double-redirects? Severinus 03:22, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why not just [[Snoqualmie Pass]]? 

message: Why not have one article for the CDP that describes the town and ski resorts, etc., and another article that describes the mountain pass, its history, significance, and its future improvements, similar to Stevens Pass or White Pass (Washington)? 
I suggest the CDP article should remain "Snoqualmie Pass, Washington", and the mountain pass article should be "Snoqualmie Pass" with an  tag at the top redirecting those interested in the CDP to "Snoqualmie Pass, Washington". Kuyabribri (talk) 05:43, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

message: This article only notes Kittitas County as being where Snoqualmie Pass resides, but it is split between King County (west side) and Kittitas County (east side).  Alpental and Summit West reside in King while the east side of West, Central and East (Hyak) all reside in Kittitas Co.

Talk:Battle of Cape Gloucester

message: The small inset is captioned "Cape Gloucester is on the western end of New Britain", but the graphic has neither of those things labelled.  This makes it less than ideal for people not already familiar with the geography of the region.  Perhaps a different map of the area, which contains labels for the key features, would help?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.45.208.237 (talk) 20:49, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

If you can identify a better map that has an appropriate licence, we can consider using that, but in the meantime, I've adjusted the caption to provide a reference to Arawe, which is labelled. I have also asked the map's creator if they could add Cape Gloucester to the current map. They are quite busy in RL, so may not get time to do this.

Talk:Borneo campaign

message: I think that the article should now meet the B-class criteria, and as always it's been great working with you here. I'd suggest the following priorities for further development:
*More coverage of the decision making that led to this campaign, and especially the Balikpapan landing (which was opposed by much of the Australian Government and military at the time)
*Some background on the harsh conditions endured by local civilians during the Japanese occupation
*More detail on the air and naval operations
*A section on the guerrilla warfare which accompanied the conventional operations. This should probably note the allegations that Australian soldiers allowed the guerrillas to commit war crimes (something Ooi notes but argues probably didn't occur).
*More detail on how historians view the campaign (the current view seems to be that the Brunei operation was probably justified, Tarakan probably wasn't and Balikpapan was a significant mistake)
*Coverage of how the Australian infantry fought, noting the emphasis placed at all levels on minimising casualties Nick-D (talk) 11:37, 2 October 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Chesterfield's Crooked Spire church 

message: Chinese windlass redirects here, but the article does not discuss Chinese windlasses.  In a Chinese windlass, there are two drums of different radii mounted on a single axle.  The rope winds up on oneand you  turn it  drum and unwinds simultaneously from the other one.  If the difference in the two drums radii is d, then each turn of the drums raises (or lowers) the attached weight by d.  By making d small, extremely large mechanical advantages can be achieved. -- —Dominus (talk) 19:20, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm no engineer, but I don't think it's correct that Since each turn of the crank raises the pulley and attached weight by only 2π(r − r'), very large mechanical advantages can be obtained. Turning the crank will shorten the bight by 2πr, and it will lengthen the bight by 2πr', for a net shortening of 2π(r − r'). But the bight is a doubled-over section of line, so wouldn't we have to divide that figure in half to find out how much the pulley is raised? That would give us a lifting of π(r − r') for each turn of the pulley.

Category talk:Programming language classification

message: Note that I am not a huge fan of this category name, even though I created it.  I just wanted to factor all the "foobar programming language" articles from :Category:Programming language topics.  Truthfully, I think most of these articles are not very useful.  You can take almost any idea in computer science and design a style of programming around it.  Should we therefore have, for all X in computer science, not only a Wikipedia article "X", and not only an article for each significant programming language designed for X, but the article "X-oriented programming language"?  That will get pretty irritating.  It seems more useful to just note in article X that one can design a programming language around X, and describe that briefly. k.lee 04:33, 25 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Lithium (medication)

message: Regarding the removal of "It is the only antidepressant effective in treating the manic episodes seen in bipolar disorder."  Lithium is not an anti-depressant.  Lithium is also not effective in quelling manic episodes in progress despite the claim in Goodwin and Jamison's outdated 1991 edition of Manic Depression.
Has anyone seen scientifically valid primary studies on the effectiveness of lithium for managing manic depression?  I have not and it was ineffective during my decade long experience with lithium.  See the "Patient Notes" at the end of the article.
Please see:
* McIntyre RS, Mancini DA, Parikh S, Kennedy SH. "Lithium revisited." Can J Psychiatry. 2001 May;46(4):322-7.
* Bowden CL, Brugger AM, Swann AC, Calabrese JR, Janicak PG, Petty F, and others. Efficacy of divalproex vs lithium and placebo in the treatment of mania. JAMA 1994;271:918–24.
This is just a start on the literature: the first reference is a review of the state of the art as of 2001.
Note that not everyone responds to the same drugs; many lithium non-responders are moved to other drugs for this reason. -- The Anome 21:12, 10 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text:  I understand that it is considered the mood stabiliser of choice by most specialists in bipolar disorder, because it is the best documented, and it is believed to be effective for the highest proportion of patients.  Nonetheless, the fact that the effective dosage of lithium is so close to the level at which it becomes dangerously toxic is a serious concern with the medication -- not a purely intellectual concern for me since my father died of a lithium overdose -- and the article should bring attention to this. ---- Charles Stewart 12:50, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
