Talk:Sarich orbital engine

message: This has been interesting. Much of my childhood was spent hearing (Australian media) stories about this brilliant world-beating engine that nobody would buy. Turns out, it was a piece of crap. Or it was an engineering marvel that required only a few components to be made of magic. Every young journalist who reports on some new engine design needs to know that most technically minded people think of at least one novel engine in their lifetime.
Is there any merit to the conspiracy theory about ford buying rights to the patents and suppressing the technology? These patents have expired a long time ago and yet nobody has tried to develop this engine. --DieselDude (talk) 06:05, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Is it worth noting that the solution to Troi's test is the same used to save the Enterprise in Star Trek II? In that movie, a crewman (Spock) repairs the warp drive by going into an enclosed area where he is subjected to radiation poisoning. With the warp drive restored, the Enterprise can escape from a deadly explosion. Except that, unlike Troi, Kirk apparently doesn't consider sacrificing one crewman (like a redshirt) to save his ship and all the others on board. And if worth noting, perhaps a cross reference in the article for Star Trek II as well. Just1thing (talk) 02:20, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Hm. Unfortunately while Memory Alpha mentions the "coincidence", it doesn't include any behind the scenes info to establish that it's intentional. It's also not a reliable source itself, being as how it's a wiki. That was disappointing. DonIago (talk) 04:15, 12 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  The title "Thine Own Self" is a reference to the words of [[Polonius]] in Act 1, Scene III of [[Hamlet]]. 

message: I made a slight edit regarding the Troi plot.  It's a bit of a stretch to say that Riker "gave her a hint", when all he was doing was explaining his own justification for cancelling further tests.  His exact words were something like, "As much as I care about you, my first duty is to the ship.  I cannot allow any bridge officer to serve that is not qualified.  I'm sorry."  Earlier in the episode, he explains that it's forbidden to provide any "hints", so it would be glaringly inconsistent if that were his intent here.
It's true that after Riker leaves, Troi repeats the words "my first duty is to the ship".  She has an epiphany, but to say that she was led there by Riker I think is inaccurate and really deflates the power of that moment if you ask me. 148.87.23.17 (talk) 21:50, 20 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  History 

message: The (anonymous) excision of the list of notable former members strikes me as a bit precipitate and indeed discourteous in tone.
* "Wikipedia is not a list" - no, but it contains many lists.
* "unreferenced" - Dod's Parliamentary Companion, the source for the vast majority of the entries, is listed at the bottom of the article. Perhaps it would be better if each entry had its own citation, but we should not permit the best to become the enemy of the good.
* "ridiculously long" - I can see that the list may be thought to unbalance the article, in which case it might be better in a separate article of its own.
* Overall, I think an historical list of those who were members of London's foremost Whig club is potentially of some value, and quite a lot of work went into it. I am restoring the list temporarily, pending further discussion.

thread_title:  List of former members 

message: What is meant by describing Brooks's as one of the most "exclusive" clubs in the world? The claim to extreme "exclusivity" is unverified and unverifiable. Eg, what proportion of candidates or potential candidates is rejected; how does that compare with other clubs, etc.? If what is meant is that Brooks's is one of the most socially prestigious clubs in the world, then it would be better to say so (if, which I doubt, a reliable source can be cited). 45ossington (talk) 17:06, 23 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Grain (textile)

message: "Cross-grain" is not the English alternative to "bias", it is a different concept. Cross-grain refers to the weft threads of a woven cloth; bias (French: biais) is at 45° to the grain of the cloth. The origin of the bias concept was the discovery by Madeleine Vionnet that if the cloth was cut on the bias it would drape, hang and move on the human figure in a most satisfactory manner. I cut the mistake from the article. Macdonald-ross (talk) 11:32, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not cross-grain 

message: The article suggests that the biases can be at angles other than 45°. It then says they are perpendicular. At 45° that would be true, but at any other angle they would not. Instead, I believe they would be equal angles off the straight grain. Seems like bias angle should be defined as always 45°, or the statement that they are always perpendicular should be removed.

Talk:List of Syracuse University buildings

message: *Given that this article is currently just a list, it has a long way to go before it becomes anything worth while on Wikipedia. Personally, I think we should model this article after List of Dartmouth College buildings or Cornell North Campus.  For this, we will need to get many more pictures of the campus than currently is on wikipedia. I will be going to Syracuse in January, I could take shots of the campus then and add them to the commons repository for SU.  --ZeWrestler  Talk 17:26, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow this is pretty ambitious.  I see you have good models though, both of the examples seem very nice, too.  Before reviewing those, I just tried adding some info on a few of the Comstock Tract buildings, putting a link to the Syracuse University-Comstock Tract Buildings article.  Now I see that if the Dartmouth article model is followed, there should be a footnote in each of those places instead, which would be fine.  The footnote from the Comstock article can be used as one source for each of the 15 buildings that it covers.  The Comstock info should help a fair amount, I hope. doncram (talk) 09:53, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Singers that have been caught lip-synching 

message: I disagree with people who think lipsyncing is wrong. As far as males, including myself, we watch these woman perform to watch them perform, most of the time not for singing. Some pop music is okay, (although that's just my opinion). I really don't care if someone lipsyncs (even if it's my favorite "singer"). The problem I have is when ugly women like Ashlee Simpson (which many people like for some reason) try to dance and lip sync and screw up. Other than that, no big deal whatsoever.
