Talk:Elevator surfing

message: Is this statement (second paragraph) indeed correct, or has someone changed it? "Elevator surfing is legal in most locations and not very dangerous." It doesn't seem quite in line with the rest of the paragraph: "Several people have died elevator surfing.[1] Surfers can be crushed between the elevator and the top, sides, or bottom of the shaft, be struck by the counterweight, or simply slip or be knocked off and fall to their deaths." 128.39.140.252 16:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  This page should be deleted 

message: I feel the following sentence should be removed from this page:
"It is highly recommended for a prospective surfer to research whether the top of the elevator shaft has headroom or not."
This statement seems to approve of the practice of elevator surfing, when in fact it is a potentially lethal practice. The page should have a neutral tone and avoid justification of such dangerous activities.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Uniquewikiuser99 (talk • contribs) 04:11, 15 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:George Don (British Army officer)

message: The link 96th Regiment of Foot leads in fact to the 97th Queen's Own Germans (former Stuart's Minorca Regiment, eventually 96th Queen's Own Germans), a foreign corps Don was never in command. Don held a colonelcy in a different 96th Foot, a regiment raised as 2/52nd Oxfordshire in 1798 and upgragded to regimental status as the 96th in 1803. Don's 96th  became for a few years the 95th when the green-coated 95th Rifles was rechristened as the Rifle Brigade.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.8.98.118 (talk) 10:43, 16 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Griffis Sculpture Park

message: I recently did a paper on this sculpture park and realized it had no entry in wikipedia so I decided to create one. I'm not promoting anything nor is this advertising for any company or event. —Preceding unsigned comment added by PeteBFLO (talk • contribs) 
:Then put a "hangon" tag on the article, quickly. The tone of the article needs to be changed to one less like an advertising pamphlet. You need sources; you need to remove peacock words; you need to remove things like admission charges and the like. Also: you need to format the article with internal links to other Wikipedia articles to people, places, concepts, etc. Hope this helps! --Orange Mike  | Talk 16:56, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Balbina Dam

message: The article gives the power produced at 250MW, presumably because in the first reference, five turbines with a capacity of 50MW are acknowledged. However, dams NEVER actually produce their maximum level of electricity, so this figure is obviously wrong. The second reference, an abstract from a research paper, states that the electricity produced is 112MW. This sounds far more reasonable to me. Should this figure, 250MW, be changed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.50.219 (talk) 10:14, 26 October 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Tricubic interpolation

message: For clarity the subscripts of the cartisean grid location, here marked x and y, used to denote the location on the grid where the original data is being taken from should be labeled something else. This is to avoid confusion with the actual values of x,y and z that would be used in the interpolation factors. Also it should be noted that the data at the discreet points is denoted with an r.
Also the diagram of a cube is note very helpful and has no relevant notation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Citizenthom (talk • contribs) 17:10, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

The Cedar Creek Covered Bridge, AKA Lynch covered bridge, is also in use on a public highway.  This bridge is immediately adjacent to the Cedar Creek Grist Mill.  The Cedar Creek bridge was only built in 1994, but it is a traditional Howe truss bridge.  Is it not counted because of its youth?

Template talk:Roads in Maryland

message: I am presently in the middle of constructing this template for the Maryland Roads WikiProject, and it may take a long time, as I am manually adding all routes. Any help is appreciated. This includes adding all routes to the list, and adding the template to the bottom of the respective pages when completed. Sebwite 17:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not what this template was intended for, it's only supposed to link to the main articles in the project, like the route lists and the articles for the highway agencies.  At the time this was created, there was no way to tie those articles together other than through "See also".  Making sure all the see also lists linked to the various articles was hard to do without a template so I made this.  I never intended it to list all routes since we already have List of numbered highways in Maryland and the secondary List of Maryland state highways to do that.-Jeff (talk) 01:18, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It looks like the original template and the template that it's become are two different things. This template should be changed back to its original form, though there may be some use (possibly in a different place) for the new template. If that's the case, though, there are some questions of what state highways should/should not be listed (listing all of them would result in a bloated and useless template, and sorting through to find only the major ones might take a long time.) - Algorerhythms (talk) 04:29, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe that the template should return to its original form. However, I do notice that a lot of links to roads in the Baltimore area are on this template and I believe that a new template for roads in the Baltimore area should be created and placed at the bottom of all articles on roads in the Baltimore area.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Soil/Soil Directory Structure Archive 1

message: Wikipedia has needed a Soil directory to distance the project from the soil science for better accuracy, a more balanced presentation, and in a few cases, to maintain neutrality.
*1 We could place a :Category:Soil under the :Category:Soil science ala :Commons:Category:Soil but I don't think that is sufficiently responsive to the the POV issue. 
*2 For those articles that fall within the context of soil, the natural resource, we have several options:
**We can categorize the article under one of the following categories:
***:Category:Natural resources (8 soil-related articles as of 02:23, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Note: Types of soil is a sub-cat of :Category:Categories by type
*:Category:Soil management
*:Category:Soil resources
*We need a structure that will avoid looping
*A structure that uses multiple paths to get to an article is OK:
**Nature>Natural Resources>Soil>Types of soil>(specific soil type article)
**Nature>Natural Sciences>Earth sciences>Soil Science>Pedology>(specific soil type article)
**Nature>Natural Sciences>Earth sciences>Physical geography>Pedology>(specific soil type article)
My inclination is to start with a :Category:Types of soil under :Category:Non-renewable resources:Category:Renewable resources and cat the List of vineyard soil types, for instance.  Then on to cat all the U.S. state soils, other soil series, and taxonomic soil classification.  The next step, potentially anyway, would be to add the soil textures sand, silt, clay, and loam, as soil types.  The soil type article would have to evolve in step with the category use, and will need references to support that taxonomic classes and soil series are generally accepted as soil types.  -- Paleorthid (talk) 17:12, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

text: Despite observations to the contrary, placing soil articles under :Category:Renewable resources is currently more consistent with WP than under :Category:Non-renewable resources, which is similarly supportable with external references. -- Paleorthid 22:29, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Considering that the renewable/non-renewable status is somewhat debatable, that a few soils articles have already been categorized as natural resources, as has the water category, it looks like the soil category should go under natural resources.  -- Paleorthid 05:24, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
