Category talk:Esperantists

message: According to my way of thinking, this category should only be for Esperanto speakers who are also somehow involved with the Esperanto movement, so the definition would be a bit stricter than the Declaration of Boulogne. I think that someone that once used Esperanto usefully but then abandons the movement like Kazimerz Bein and George Soros(?) should still be counted as Esperantists. I think that the category should not include people that just mouthed words of Esperanto but were not part of the Esperanto movement, so people like William Shatner and Leena Peisa would be out. Also not included would be anyone that simply just gave a good quote about Esperanto, like Fidel Castro or J.R.R. Tolkien. If you have more to add or subtract from this definition, please add it here. -- Yekrats 12:45, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Well, I'm pretty much done repopulating the Category. Because it was complained about in the requests for deletion that a writers of Esperanto and this category would be mostly duplicative, I made a subcategory :Category:Writers of Esperanto literature. I only counted 14 of those, but if I missed one, please move it to the subcategory. In addition, I discovered :Category:Translators to Esperanto a bit late in the process, and I know some of these should be put in that category, but I don't have time to do it now. If you have any questions or complaints about who was chosen or not chosen ;-) we can discuss it on the individual pages. If I left someone off, it was because felt that the evidence in the article (or what I could dredge up on the web) was insufficient for inclusion. If you can find evidence to support someone being in this category, go ahead! -- Yekrats 17:40, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Apparently an error in an Allmusic.com review is the source of much confusion on this point.  In the allmusic.com review of Ray Charles in Person, William Ruhlmann states "...This album is a reissue of What'd I Say...".  However jazzdisco.org lists them as two distinct albums (one live, one a studio album) with separate recording dates, release dates and personnel.  And there are two separate Atlantic records numbers for these two releases.  I have today, created a new wikipedia article for Ray Charles in Person and have made the necessary corrections to this What'd I Say (album) article.

Talk:La Mesa Dam and Reservoir

message: The most common name of the structure is "La Mesa Dam" and it is indeed the dam and not the entire "eco-park" that gets all the press. Indeed before a Google Search I had never heard it referred to as an "Eco-Park".  Of course there is a watershed as all dams and rivers and other bodies of water have watersheds. That goes without saying.

Talk:Acoustic shock

message: The content of the initial page includes a suggestion that a device limiting sound peaks to 85dB is effective in preventing acoustic shock and then gives a link to the Ear Angel web site. There is good field evidence that simple limiting does not work, and this seems to be nothing more than an attempt to advertise a commercial product.
I have to declare an interest as I am the Medical Director of the Acoustic Safety Programme. I have not previously attempted to start an acoustic shock entry as I understand that the lack of scientific evidence (there has been very little research on this topic) and my possible partiality would prevent an entry from meeting Wikipedia's normal requirements. I do, however, feel it appropriate to intervene when somebody attempts to use Wikipedia as a means of advertising a device which is unlikely to be able to offer the protection it claims.

Talk:Derek Hitchins

message: The following section is removed from the article:
:System of Systems 
:A system according to Hitchins is "an open set of complementary, interacting parts with properties, capabilities and behaviours of the whole set emerging both from the parts and from their interactions." 
:A system on a higher level can contain other systems. So the term “system of systems” could apply at any level. Or, conversely, at any level we care to choose we can perceive systems, contained subsystems and containing super-systems.  2003, What’s in a System-of-Systems?, paper.
This section is removed for the following reasons, stated by GRMat158 (talk) 14:57, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The paragraphs on system of systems within Derek Hitchins' page do not, I think, convey the fact that Derek (in the paper referenced) does not advocate the use of the the term - on the contrary, he sees it as a tautology in that every system can be a system-of-systems and vice-versa.  He also points out in the paper that there are dangers in adopting the terminology simply because of the inherent reductionist tendency when you term anything as comprising other things - thus the term could be deemed to be contrary to a holistic or systems approach.

Talk:Bootstrapping (electronics)

message: "if the battery is totally flat the alternator won't produce any output voltage to spark the plugs or recharge the battery (by push starting for example) since it will be unable to bootstrap itself. However, in practice, a battery will usually have enough residual charge to avoid this."
This isnt entirely accurate. What happens is some residual magnetism in the alternator causes it to generate a little output, which is fed to the field coils, thus increasing the mag field... so outpout increases etc. its a bootstrap process.
Its a bit more complicated as what happens in practice depends on whether a battery is connected, the state of the battery, and alternator details etc.

Talk:Reference design

message: The two concepts - prototype - and reference designs while similar - are distinctly different items.  A reference design is more of a recipe - a description of how someone would build something.   A prototype is the embodiment of that recipe - an first version of the intended final product.
Another key difference between prototype and reference design is the ownership.  A prototype is typically owned by the creator.  The creator may keep a prototype secret so that others cannot copy his design.  Reference Designs are by definition "reference" and are intended to be copied by others.  
Another key difference is prototype is singular, and reference designs are plural. Reference designs, to be of value, have to present a set of designs for the customer to choose from.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Unmv ob guy (talk • contribs) 14:52, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
