message: Or does the school study liberal arts, humanities, etc. too? Kent Wang 05:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: However, Aramco is desperate for more petroleum engineers and geoscientists, mainly due to the fact that the number of graduates in the US has decreased over the past few decades. In addition, the company is facing more difficulty hiring Americans and foreigners in general in Saudi Arabia, despite all the above-average offers (for doing minimal work), including some benefits I couldn't find anywhere else. As a result, they decided to hire Saudis in these fields instead. Again, no qualified Saudis around. Solution? Simply, teach them from A to Z (which is quite unusual for a for-profit company, but Aramco has done it ever since it has come to Saudi Arabia as an American company). When I was there, about 50% of the students were supposed to major in petroleum engineering, as Aramco intends to expand its oil rig fleet (specifically double it), and roughly 30% were geoscience (50% of those geology and 50% geophysics). They desperately need geoscientists as well, but geoscience graduates in the world has not fallen as sharp as petroleum engineers, thus the need is less urgent. BTW, most of the work today is usually done by contractors, most notably Halliburton, Schlumberger and its subsidiary WesternGeco, and many local contractors emerging everyday because of Aramco's demand. -- Eagleamn 17:23, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Cerulean blue

message: This overlaps a lot with cerulean, but technically cerulean blue is a pigment with a specific shade, while "cerulean" is a broader term for sky color (according to OED). So I can't make up my mind whether we should merge the two, and if so, under which name. Stan 16:04, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: True, but since the modern word cerulean derives from the pigment name , I think the content here would be fine there. I'll look at integrating these at some point, but it might be a while. Cerulean blue can become a redirect to cerulean. (I considered merging cerulean to here rather than vice-versa and rejected the idea.) CoyneT 04:50, 31 Dec 2004 (UTC)

text: Okay, that would work. Andros 1337 23:51, 23 Jan 2005 (UTC)

text: You mention the link from pigment.  For some reason, that link is dead.  And, yet, here we are.  Is this merely a capitalization issue?  Cerulean Blue; Cerulean blue.  It seems the names of the other pigment articles are Always Capitalized.  If this is the case, I suggest this article conform to that system, or, preferably, work with both forms.  --Tellybelly 00:30, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends upon whether the pigment name is a proper name or not.  Prussian Black, for example, is a trade name.  But cerulean blue merely means "blue like the sky"; it wasn't a trade name. CoyneT talk 00:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge with Cerulean

message: Why is the word "permanent" linked to the article on fugitive pigments when it means the exact opposite?
Do we not have an article on permanent pigments?
(Obviously not.)
--Phil | Talk June 29, 2005 16:21 (UTC)
: The concept of fugitive/permanent pigments are the mirror images of the same property, which is really "lightfastness". But I didn't want to move the fugitive pigment article because it is linked by several articles. So I linked the phrase permanent pigments to the fugitive article so it could explain the difference between fugitive and permanent.  It seemed lame to create a "permanent pigments" article that would (in essence) say, "Permanent pigments are not fugitive pigments." CoyneT talk 00:42, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Odd link 

message: Let me start with the disclaimer.  I am not an artist, color junkie, or even a competent computer user.  Now for the message:  Those color coordinates seem off to me.  The color at http://www.pantone.com/aboutus/aboutus.asp?idArticle=65&idPressRelease=52 is closer to what is in my head.
: Sorry, I can no longer see the link (went away).  But the coordinates on the article page were from this page, averaged as best I could manage to #2A52be. Now there is a swatch on the article page itself, and I averaged it, too; it seems to be #20587f. This seems much to green (to me) to be consistent with the original artistic value of the color, which was its absence of green. I don't know; I can't find an official triad anywhere.

Talk:Climbing gourami

message: As far as I know, this Climbing gourami is a species, Anabas testudineus, and should not be mixed up with the family of Anabantidae, which, partly the text on the page describes. Dan Koehl 16:25, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: See the fishbase reference that I added on the main page and it will confirm the accuracy of the article.  It is quite common for the family to be named something like "Climbing Gouramis" and then later to have a single species have the name of the generic type.  Often the most common fish in the family takes on the generic name of the family (or vice versa).  It is possible that Anabas testudineus has an alternate name, but that wouldn't be required. -- Ram-Man 17:05, Nov 17, 2004 (UTC)
I realize that, but the article is named Climbing Gourami (singularis) like the species anabas testudineus, and not Climbing Gouramis (pluralis) as Anabantidae and the text content refer to? Dan Koehl 20:07, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
