thread_title:  Intro incoherence 

message: Shouldn't that be "the force necessary to accelerate 1 pound-mass by 1 foot per second per second"?
The way it's written presently I read as "the force necessary to steadily increase the acceleration of a 1-pound-mass-object until it's 1 foot per second per second", which is, of course, wrong.
You could (if perversely inclined) keep the 'to' by rewriting it as "the force necessary to steadily accelerate 1 pound-mass to 1 foot per second over the course of 1 second".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bruce Mardle (talk • contribs) 05:30, 20 August 2016 (UTC)

Category talk:Compositions by Joseph Haydn

message: Unless anyone objects, I'm going to reorganize this category to follow the Hoboken catalogue divisions.

Why isn't there a "list of compositions by franz joseph haydn" entry that lists all of his works in a SINGLE PAGE, like there is with most of the other major composers? It seems like it could be coalated automatically from the multipage category. Having it available as a single page is quite useful at times because it permits easier searching.

On an interesting side note, there's a deletion discussion for Erich Kästner on the German Wikipedia on the claims that he's not notable enough for inclusion.

message: I think a little explanation about the words "front" and "rear". According to the Mir hardware heritage, when Soyuz 31 transfered from the rear to the front port, what actually happened was they rotated the space station. In other words, the space station was then flying backwards. One might be tempted to think, then, that the "rear" port became the "front" port, and vice versa. In any case, it's probably worth adding a remark to this effect? Mlm42 (talk) 16:12, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma

message: This page previously existed, was nominated for deletion, and there was no consensus to proceed.  Then, through some process which I was unable to track down, it was deleted.  Because in the eyes of the US government, the UKB, and the Cherokee Nation/CNO itself (in its court filings), an entity called The Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma exists, and because there were still links to this article, I recreated it.  I have documented everything which might be contentious in fairly meticulous fashion, and have done my best to simply state what there is clear evidence for, rather than draw any original conclusions. I've also tried to avoid covering material which belongs elsewhere. Hopefully this iteration will prove more satisfactory to all concerned than the old version was. Poindexter Propellerhead 10:40, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In light of the fact that an article about the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma again exists, I have no objection to this article's being merged with it. This article was really just a stopgap measure taken to ensure that political infighting on matters related to the Cherokee would not result in the CNO disappearing from Wikipedia without a trace. I'm glad to see that the topic is (apparently) less of a political football now, and fully endorse the proposed merger. Poindexter Propellerhead (talk) 19:59, 22 June 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Leg break

message: As with the Wrsit Spin and Leg Spin page, there are a couple of inaccuracies on this page.
1) No leg break bowler in history grips the ball with the seam under all four fingertips. Using this grip, it would be impossible to control the ball at the moment of release because only the fingertip of your little finger would be on the ball. The most common grip is to a) run the seam from index fingertip to middle finger first knuckle, with both fingers striaght and with ring and little resting on palm (Anil Kumble and Richie Benaud's grip) or b) similar seam, but with middle finger half bent, index slightly, and ring first knuckle firmly against side of ball. (Shane Warne's grip).
2) There is absolutley no mention of wrist position in the article. Anybody who has witnessed both Kumble and Warne bowl would realise the essential difference between the two bowlers. Both however, bowl classical leg breaks, albeit with different wrist positions. Warne bowls with his to the left of the ball, while Kumble under the ball. Both snap the wrist, both impart most of the spin with their ring and middle fingers, both grip the ball with a similar grip but they bowl completely different stock leg breaks.
3) Again, no spin is ever imparted with the little finger. Too inaccurate, to difficult to bowl (Trust me I've tried)
I'd like to fix it, but unsure of how. If someone could, please do. Weststigersbob 10:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The list of players who are identified as leg-break bowlers has been deleted with an edit note stating "do not reinstate". I find this difficult to follow.
I think that having a list of players included in the article adds greatly to a non-fan's understanding of the subject.  With the proviso that the players so listed must be clearly identified as bowlers of leg-breaks.  For example, we can be sure that Shane Warne should be included in such a list, as should Clarrie Grimett.  The interesting thing about these two bowlers is that they had two very different bowling actions and techniques yet both bowled leg-breaks.
I'm re-instating the list recently deleted and will check that each player so listed is identified as a leg-break proponent. Perry Middlemiss (talk) 21:28, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been discussed to death and the overwhelming consensus is that a completely arbitrary and unnecessary list of players is both unencyclopaedic and unheplful. There are thousands of leg break bowlers in the history of cricket, a list of a handful of random names like this is entirely subjective, and always will be. It doesn't add anything to the article. I will give it 24 hours grace and then remove it, if it has not already been removed Py0alb (talk) 22:03, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
