Talk:Delay (audio effect)

message: I have reverted 's wholesale replacement of this article. While the article needs improvement and the proposed replacement is good, it is not clearly better than what exists. For example, I can't make sense of, "By recording one tape machine's record head while recording the playback to another". In my opinion, is clearly not as good as what could be achieved by combining the best of both versions. I will work on merging Popcornfud's new material into the existing article. I won't get it done immediately. Any help is appreciated. ~Kvng (talk) 16:22, 24 June 2021 (UTC)

message: The article is correct as far as the spinning disc being not unlike a hard drive, in that it's a disc and it spins but that's about as far as it goes.

Talk:Richard Snell (criminal)

message: I can find no citation that Richard Snell bombed the Oklahoma City Federal Building in 1983; he merely planned to but was arrested on unrelated murder charges. He was indeed executed on the day of the bombing. Timothy McVeigh had as his motive revenge for Ruby Ridge and Waco, not the death of Snell specifically; cite sources to verify the claims made in this article.
:I find it to be a lame conspiracy theory (that McVeigh did the boming out of retaliation).  Either way, it definitely does not belong in the lead section of the article.  I've moved it to the bottom.  If he was indeed planning to bomb that same building, find a source, please. hbdragon88 02:58, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed.  Especially the bit "The two men did know one another, and ran in many of the same circles."  How could this be?  McVeigh joined the army less than three years before Snell's arrest and got out of the army only a few years before Snell's execution.  I'm putting a citation needed tag on it and if no one fixes it, I'll edit that sentence. --Ossipewsk 03:46, 8 November 2007 (UTC)

:A citation to the yearbook should qualify, though.  Not everything can be found through Google, nor are on-line sources required by WP:V.  As long as copies of the yearbook are available to the general public somehow (i.e. through the school or other regional archives), I would think the citation is adequate.

message: Isn't the name of the Div only "1st Canadian Division" like here. There is three regiments in the div and none of them are infantry. Maybe we need to clean out a bit 1st Canadian Division and 1st Canadian Infantry Division because according to this article in the Maple Leaf this is the same Division from WWI that has been reactivated for WWII, and two times after (plus now). I think we should consider this as a single unit, 1st Canadian Division, that bear a different name (1st Canadian Infantry Division) for a period of a time. Amqui (talk) 20:57, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I think that the reference of Elihu being an 'angry young man' needs to be deleted, because it is clearly misleading. The Bible text clearly states that
"the anger of Elihu ... was kindled" and "He was angry with Job for considering himself rather than God to be in the right" and "He was angry also with the three friends because they had not found a good answer and had not condemned Job" 
Clearly, Elihu's anger was kindled for specific reasons, which is different from being an 'angry young man'. I would like to caution introducing modern metaphors like that of a 'rebel without cause' when there is a likelihood that Eluhi's anger may be more in line with 'the wrath of God'.
I also wonder whether there are other authorities who can corroborate the claim of Christopher Boyer. The referenced document is only signed "M. Christopher Boyer 2/3/2019". 
Also, how does BobKilcoyne make the connection between "M. Christopher Boyer" as a pastor of a "Good Shepherd Baptist Church"?
Rather than immediately add perspectives like these into the main article, I believe they are better introduced here in the talk section.

Looking at the reference, there's nothing about ${parameter:=word} and whilst that does set the value of the variable if it's empty, I don't believe this colon has anything to do with the null command (except that it's also a colon). rmwiseman (talk) 12:34, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

"In 1997 the popular rock band 'the Weakerthans' took their name from a line of the film adaptation of The Lover: 'Go ahead, I'm weaker than you can possibly imagine.'"

message: The article only says that the Hexane recycling system of the plant was not working, but sending a large volume of flammable/explosive Hexane into the sewer is not described or properly explained, nevertheless, the article mentions that "negligence" was rejected.  Unless there was an extraordinary condition that posed an immediate danger to the personnel on the plant, diverting Hexane to the sewer is aking to a criminal negligence, since plant design and operation should preclude such discharge.   The article only gives a too small emphasis on the possible consecuences of discharging a highly flammable solvent into a sewer, which is inviting disaster because the sewer is almost an ideal container for the explosive vapors to become fully mixed with air and reach the explosive range of concentrations.  Just look at what happened in Guadalajara Mexico. As it is, the article is not completely neutral and minimizes the real danger of this type of solvent spills into sewers.
