Talk:Joe Brown (climber)

message: The description of the Old Man of Hoy is currently a bit garbled I think. Firstly, I believe that what the writer had in mind was the TV programme, not the FA.
Secondly Hamish MacInnes' guidebook credits Baillie, Patey and Bonnington with the FA of the East Face route in 1966 (by some accounts this was on TV), Brown & MacNaught-Davis with the FA of the South Face route in 1967, and Crew and Haston with the FA of the SE Arete also in 1967.  
My dim recollection was that the TV referred to here, with Brown, was probably in 1967, of Brown and MacNaught-Davis _making_ their FA (and possibly of Crew and Haston making their FA,  and also of Patey & Bonnington _repeating_ their 1966 FA). Bob aka Linuxlad 10:49, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

There are no names for his parents - which could do with adding. It will need checking for flow and typos. I've added an info box plus what info I could, as well as references to his obituaries.

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Dates and numbers/Archive 32

message: I've touched on the issue of context in several discussion now, and I note that there is no explanation of its importance on this manual.  The Main Manual quotes from Chicago.  With dates and numbers, judgement of context is also important; when I think about it, it's what not to do that is of concern more than what should be done.
There is never a one-size-fits-all rule.  Different articles are about different things and will command different formats.  This must be recognised, but without going too liberal with formatting.  In all articles about the same topic, for instance, all formatting should be the same (except infoboxes and the like).
Is there any support for including in the introductory section (before the TOC) a sentence emphasising the importance of context and judgement?  I'll have to think of the wording, and that can be done later, but it's worth thinking about first.  Neonumbers 22:59, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This is a personal impresion but I've understood some MDMA metaphors from the song, in which MDMA is compared favourably to other drugs. In particular, the use of the term Emerald City (I have occasionally heard it referred to as 'Emeralds' in Europe), as well as the line 'we've left the world of smiles and clenching jaws' which seems to me a typical facial expression of someone on Ecstasy. The impression I got from the line 'what once was Emerald City's now a Crystla Town' is that things were ebtter during the loved-up times of ecstasy use. Like I say, just a personal impression.

replies: text: I wouldn't mind removing them because it's a similar case to observationally stable nuclides. Namely, I don't think we should treat decay modes that are possible but not observed the same way as known decay modes, just as we don't treat observationally stable nuclides the same way as known primordial radionuclides.

thread_title:  Wikicode 

message: The nuclide 256Cf is the heaviest beta-stable isotope of californium (possibly also 258Cf, but probably not 260Cf), and is one of the two isotopes (254 and 256) whose stability is greatly reduced by SF decay. The predicted alpha partial half-life is very long, one or two orders of magnitude longer than that of the most stable isotope of californium, 251Cf. This is consistent with our intuition that more neutron-rich isotopes are usually more stable with respect to alpha decay (although for curium, it is the almost-beta-stable 247Cm that is the most stable isotope rather than the heaviest beta-stable 248Cm).
256Cf is the nuclide with the highest N/Z ratio among known nuclides with Z≥95, and is the most neutron-rich among known beta-stable nuclides. 129.104.241.242 (talk) 03:55, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

replies: text: I found this at the PBS site  http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/massie/peopleevents/p_thalia.html
Thalia never seemed to be able to control the mental instability she revealed during the 1932 trial of her husband and mother. Her self-serving version of events implicated five men in a crime they could not have committed. One of the men was killed as a result, and the others never fully escaped the shadow of the trial. When investigating Pinkerton detectives reported that the accused young men were undeniably innocent, Thalia rejected their findings, stating, "It's a lie -- and a stupid lie." She never exhibited any remorse or discussed the possibility that she had identified the wrong men. Another failed marriage and a number of suicide attempts later, Thalia finally overdosed on barbiturates in her Palm Beach, Florida, home in 1963.
I believe this confirms her death and the removal of the category "Living People."
