Talk:Blip enhancement

message: IMHO this article should be merged with DRFM.  Blip enhancement is performed using a DRFM, and DRFM is a more generally used and accepted term than 'blip enhancement'. ekimd 22:01, 26 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge

message: Blip enhancement does not require a DRFM. In the classic sense the technique is accomplished in a straight-through repeater path where the radar energy is amplified and transmitted with no delay. In a DRFM, you can synthesize a radar pulse, in that case it's a false target generation technique.
:But in my mind, a straight-through repeater could be considered a DRFM as a DRFM can be nothing more than a repeater with zero delay. ekimd 14:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Gabrielle d'Estrées

message: 1.  I have added "" because the article is full of 'facts' which are at best unsubstantiated.  For example, the business about Gabrielle's taking care of Henri's clothes, or the business about "Paris is worth a mass" - a famous legend, but I know of no good, early source for it, and it's suspicious that Miquel in this book on the Wars of Religion doesn't even think it's worth a hint.  The too-casual, subjective  style of the article - e.g., "Perhaps she tempted fate too much.", "his saintly sister Catherine" - also bothers me, and maybe I will try to work on it, but I'd like a lot of help with the sources for the purported facts.
2. I have changed "After applying to Pope Clement VIII for a divorce" to "After applying to Pope Clement VIII for an annulment of his marriage"; earlier version was a major error of fact. Tireisias 10:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

message: The Mountain Goats have a song "Sax Rohmer #1", which eventually led me to this article as I was trying to figure out what the hell the title was about. There should be some mention of the song, or some disambiguation page, or something. Sax Rohmer doesn't seem like a guy that comes up in pop culture much anymore, so tying this article back into something contemporary seems like a logical thing to do.

Telfer was free coloured, which in her time and place meant a free person of mixed European and African ancestry. Thus, James Douglas - as all her children with John Douglas - was part black.

Talk:Art on the Underground

message: I recently made major modifications and updates to this page, which were then reverted as "plugging (my) art exhibition".
I explained to Redrose64 that I have no connection to Art on the Underground, London Underground, TFL or any other transportation body. I am merely a curious individual with an interest in the topic - and a desire to improve the wikipedia articles thereof. They suggested that "the best thing to do is to raise a thread at the talk page". '
Ergo, My improvements included Pictures demonstrating artworks from Art on the Underground, Covers of the Tube Map commission, Correction of the Gloucester Road tube station commission, Temporary Art projects - such as Underline and the Central Line Series, Recent Permanent Art works commissioned - such as the Daniel Buren work at TCR and the Frank Pick memorial at Piccadilly Circus for example, Addition of a section on Labyrinth, the work for the Tube's 150th anniversary. (Please see my edit in the history for more information.)
I would be delighted to discuss these improvements and other issues.

message: There are at least three other mountains by this name in the world. Others are in Nunavut, Montana and New South Wales, Australia. See the  Wikidata disambiguation page.
 You should have looked at the wikidata link before moving the page back to discover that there are multiple mountains by this name. Secondly, you didn't verify the wikidata link after the page move.

replies: text: I was well aware there are multiple mountains with this name, but the current title is correct unless any of them have valid blue links.

Talk:Odo of Cheriton

message: I created a redirect here from the above name. Odo of Sherington was a fabulist, lived in the area of Kent, at or about the same time. Nevertheless, it is possible this is not the same person, I gather that Odo is not an uncommon name, writers adopted the names of other writers, and suppose he could have been a relation. The 1776 work I provided, Villare cantianum: or, Kent surveyed and illustrated, it states that Sherington and Cherington (not Cheriton) are synonymous. This is hardly conclusive and I honestly know nothing about this. FWIW, O of S is "well known" and his works appear in the modern text An argosy of fables, book 1, classical fables: 'Avianus, Abstemious, etc.' p. 166, et seq.. cygnis insignis 15:41, 26 July 2011 (UTC)
