Talk:Rama (disambiguation)

message: A recent edit made Rama (disambiguation) significantly more informative abt the Rama, aka Sri Ramachandra and described as a king in India, at an indefinable time at the very least 2500 years ago, who was an incarnation of the god Vishnu.
Of course, that Rama is the subject of Rama, while Rama (disambiguation) is not an article about him, nor an article at all.  It is a navigational mechanism for the aid of certain users looking for various articles on topics they might call "Rama".  But to be more precise, not any such topic. Because of the fact of Rama (disambiguation) not being lk'd from any article except Rama, the users this page is supposed to help are almost exclusively those who
# Either type "Rama" in the "Go" box, or click on a lk (possibly piped) for Rama;
# Then encounter at the very top of that article this text (or a future variation on it): "This article is about a Hindu incarnation of God (i.e., Vishnu) and king of ancient India, for other meanings see Rama (disambiguation).";
# Then click on the lk at the end of that text bcz they are looking for a different Rama.
The exceptions are those who do 1 and 2, and then click on the same lk, but by mistake.
So the Dab page is almost entirely not about that Rama.  And enhancing the Dab page's information on that Rama (beyond the meager hint that might be needed by those who clicked by mistake) is not only wasted effort, but clutter interfering with fulfilling the Dab's purpose for existing.
For that reason, the Wiktionary lk to "Rama" (solely about Ramachandra and solely a dictdef), and most of the additional substance added on that Rama in the edit cited, and some earlier information on that Rama put here mostly bcz i was confused by reading the lead 'graph in Rama, has been removed.
The 9 Thai kings have also been restored here, saving their readers a click that would do no one any good.--Jerzy•t 06:18, 2005 August 23 (UTC)
Changing text on Frederick Lenz to be less opinioned and stick with the facts. Changing, "Frederick Lenz, spiritual guru and alleged cult leader, called himself Rama" to "Frederick Lenz, a spiritual teacher who used Rama as his teaching name". Changing for several reasons:
* the phrase "spiritual guru" is redundant, the word guru implies spiritual. Changing to spiritual teacher as this is less ambiguous in the English language than the word guru.
* removing the word "alleged" that is an opinion. wiki focuses on encyclopedic content, not allegations, unless perhaps in a criticism section found in the article, not the disambiguation page.
* clarifying that Frederick Lenz used the name Rama as a part of his spiritual teachings. In the workplace, business, and common day affairs, he used his given name, Dr. Frederick Lenz.

message: The reason I removed the reference is because it originally said it mentions the song, when it in fact doesn't.  Small world and small girl, while similar, are not the same.  Then again, the song references lots of things, and if we were to mention them all, we might as well just add the lyrics.  So I suppose saying it references the song is better than it mentions it.

Talk:Freeze distillation

message: Okay, what fermentation products are unhealthy that are concentrated by this process?
-- ~ender 2005-02-26 10:13:MST
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
(From the wiki article "Fusel alcohols")
Fusel alcohols, also sometimes called fusel oils, are higher order (more than two carbons) alcohols formed by fermentation and present in cider, mead, beer, wine, and spirits to varying degrees.
The compounds involved are chiefly:
    * 1-propanol
    * 2-propanol
    * butanol (various isomers)
    * amyl alcohol
    * furfural
Excessive concentrations of these fractions can cause off flavours, sometimes described as "spicy," "hot," or "solvent-like." Some beverages, such as whiskey, Siwucha and traditional ales and ciders, are expected to have relatively high concentrations of fusel alcohols as part of the flavor profile. In other beverages, such as vodka and lagers, notable presence of fusel alcohols is considered a fault. Very high concentrations — usually caused by incompetent distillation — can cause acute illness, including headaches, nausea, vomiting, clinical depression, or coma. Such a liquor may be referred to as rot-gut or rotgut.
Fusel alcohols are formed when fermentation occurs:
    * at higher temperatures,
    * at lower pH,
    * when yeast activity is limited by low nitrogen content.
:Thank you anonymous hero.
:However, I'd still like to know how much fusel alcohol (by percentage?) is considered dangerous, how you might test for such a thing and/or prevent it. I see low temperatures and high pH would be desired, according to your post - but that makes me confused when the article says that freeze distallation would cause a too-high concentration of such products...
:~ender 2005-10-03 16:09:MST
::It says that fermentation at high temperatures produces more fusel alcohol, but freeze distillation is distillation, and in distillation low temperatures leave more fusel alcohol in (apparently). NHammen 16:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: freeze "distillation" is not distillation, thats why there are fusels in the product. fusels boil at higher temperatures in true distillation, so are easily seperated. Xcomradex 04:05, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

text: Wouldn't the frozen material become progressively poorer in alcohol content?
The liquid left behind would be richer in alcohol, and as a consequence, further freezing would take place at progressively lower temperatures, and the frozen material, while always poorer in alcohol than the (increasingly rich) liquid, would become progressively richer in alcohol.

message: The GDP ranking is wrong. The world need not be accounted for.
Hence the Rank becomes 5th from the present 6th.
Now the European Union also cannot be accounted for since the economy of various nations of the European Union is shown as different and in many places like in the Economy of France EU is unaccounted for. Either make the change in all the Economy of <countryname> or place the rank of India as 4th.
Also CIA factbook must not be taken as a reliable source. It is a spy agency and will manipulate things to suit their interests. Hence data from IMF or anyother organisation will be better.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/JonGwynne/Proposed decision

message: I welcome the findings-of-fact, though I would like to have seen JG's violation of NPOV more explcitly stated.
However, the remedies so far proposed are rather weak. I would like to see a more explicit expression of disapproval of his behaviour; ideally a ban from editing the contentious climate pages for a week or a month.
Also:
: If he re-inserts any edits which are judged by a majority of those commenting on the relevant talk page in a 24-hour poll to be a violation of the NPOV policy, then he shall be temp-banned for a short time, up to one week. Repeat deletions of text, similarly judged to result in a violation of NPOV, shall be treated in the same way.
is ambiguous. Does it mean, he re-inserts the edits, this is subsequently discussed, and then he gets banned; or does it mean he re-inserts edits, it gets discussed, then he re-inserts them, then he gets banned? In either case, it seems rather cumbersome.

message: The group of articles related to global warming deal with complex and variably controversial scientific topics. The group of dedicated editors who have worked to achieve a degree of completeness and balance in the articles are serious editors with a wide background and perspective. There will likely always be disagreement on details, but these editors work and discuss to present a reasonably balanced product. The strong POV edits that JonGwynne tried to impose were resisted by editors from both sides of the issue. Any similar strong POV edits or major edits that are not discussed on the talk pages in advance will likely be resisted and referred to discussion. This should be the way to proceed in controversial areas. In view of JonGwynne's past behavior his edits will be closely monitored and any repeat of POV edits and reverts by him should be reason for blocking. This proposed parole is reasonable.

While certain musicians do provide writing credits as a method to split income / royalties, it does not appear to be the case here, as very few songs were attributed to both Harry and Sandy.
I recommend retaining this stub to properly attribute Sandra Chapin as co-writer of the song "Cat's in the Cradle"; it did after all hit #1 twice (Harry's recording and Ugly Kid Joe's version as well).
