Category talk:Spectrometers

message: I just discovered this category. It seems like a good thing to have. I am puzzled though about how to go about expanding it. I see that there are a number of spectroscopic techniques, Circular Dichroism and the related, but distinct Magnetic Circular Dichroism for instance, which have articles, and which discuss instrumental considerations, but which do not have articles explicitly about the instruments themselves.
I believe that an encyclopedic approach justifies a separate article about important instruments because building a practical instrument involves specific considerations and knowledge/institutional wisdom that is outside the scope of the technique itself. Why, for instance, do scanning spectrometers scan from longer to shorter wavelengths, and not the other way?

thread_title:  articles on instruments vs articles on spectroscopic technique 

message: In my view, there is some confusion between spectrometry (general measure of spectrum which may be the energy or wavelength of electromagnetic radiation, but also mass or energy of a particle) and spectroscopy which is normally only about study of electromagnetic spectrum.
Therefore, I suggest to place category "Spectroscopy" as a subcategory of "Spectrometers", not the other way round.
Ileresolu (talk) 08:27, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This doesn't work. A category on a specific type of measuring instrument should not contain a category on a broad class of techniques. If you were proposing to make "Spectroscopy" a subcategory of "Spectrometry" that might work, but that's not the situation here.--Srleffler (talk) 17:36, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

text: I reverted your category changes. First, I'm not convinced that you're correct about the distinction between spectroscopy and spectrometry. See Electron spectroscopy for one counterexample. If you were correct about the distinction, it would be necessary to split Category:Spectroscopy into Category:Spectroscopy and Category:Spectrometry, and move articles into one or the other. I am not convinced that the distinction between the two is sufficient to make that work, though.--Srleffler (talk) 17:46, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

Not that I know of. I also edited "boy" into "male"

no its a purely masculine name. u can look it up in any arabic dictionary. The misconception of it being a faminine name is because it was the name of the son of a slave of Hazrat Amna R.A(mother of Holy Prophet sallalahu ali hi wasallam). The slave herself was a woman and was known by the "qunyat" 'Umm-e-ayeman' means 'the mother of ayemon'.Doxtor Aeymon 10:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Toxic leader

message: Article is good but could benefit from expansion of topics and adding more information and evidence to back up claims. There is a claim that says “Marcia Lynn Whicker popularized the term “toxic leader” in 1996” but does not provide any more evidence to back up that claim other than adding a citation for their book. Is there any other evidence supporting that claim? How did the author of this Wikipedia article know that this is when this term was popularized? I also believe that this article mainly focuses on toxic leaders that are actively abusive and are aiming to use their subordinates as stepping-stones for their own success. They mainly focus on people that are aggressive narcissists. This is not the only type of toxic leaders. I think it would be beneficial to add information about toxic leaders that are unaware that they are being abusive and are being toxic or abusive because they lack training or lack basic leadership skills. It would also be helpful to add sections of negative effects of toxic leadership and prevention strategies to minimize or eliminate effects of a toxic leader. This article has good bones and information but I think expansion would be very helpful!

message: This has no plot summary. It needs one. It would also benefit from a discussion of the relationship of this to other works by Vonnegut.

As a 185-lb senior, he was one of the marquee running backs in Texas, along with fellow Houston-area standouts Craig James (Stratford High School, Houston) and Eric Dickerson (Sealy High School, Sealy). He carried the Mustangs to the state quarterfinals in 1979, but the team lost to James and his Stratford High School Spartans in the Houston Astrodome. In track, he was anchor of the 440-yard relay team, and also ran the 100-yard dash, in which he recorded a personal best in the 9.9-second range.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.31.47.95 (talk) 19:01, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Freezing level

message: I quote, from the Celsius article accessed 2011/02/06 12:42 GMT+0, "the actual melting point of ice is very slightly (less than a thousandth of a degree) below 0 °C". It seems well established that 0°C should be considered the melting point of ice, yet this article claims 0°C to be the freezing point of water. Although this description avoids confusion, given the title of the article as the "Freezing level", it is wrong. Surely this should be corrected with a small summary of the history of 0°C?

Talk:The Wrath of God

message: The central character is Emmet Keogh (Ken Hutchison.) The book was rather grim, set in 1922 Mexico.  Keogh is an ex-IRA member who had just killed his brother in an attack on occupying English forces. Jennings(Victor Buono; "Janos" in the book) is an informer, gun runner, what have you; anything to make a dishonest buck.  In the movie, he had also informed for the Black and Tans (a group of cruel, elite rifleman working for the British Occupation forces in Ireland.) The Indian woman, Chela (Paula Prichett) was an "Imarra" princess in the movie, but the book, set in Mexico, describes her as Yaqui.  There are many  humorous uses of lines from "Alice in Wonderland" and a sarcastic parody of the Catholic Church. Mitchum plays his third and final role as a bogus priest (Night of the Hunter, 5 Card Stud) ; he is at his cool best, while Buono plays it up with his usual  grand style. Hutchinson is almost cast as a fall guy and the comic relief.  His bowl hair cut seems reminiscent of the  early Beatles or Davey Jones' cut.
Robert Mitchum drives a Lincoln touring car, while it was a Mercedes-Benz in the book.
The use of the car and M1 grenades and 1921 Thompson guns is accurate for 1922.  The author, Jack Higgins, writes enjoyable adventure books, many in the genre of Tom Clancy.  I believe this is Higgins' only work brought to the screen.
While not technically a "Zapata Western", this is an enjoyable adventure/farce that is still a delight with its action, character development, wry lines, and scenery/cinematography.

message: To illustrate a bit the differences between EELS and EDX it could be mentioned that EELS gets its information from forward- and unscattered electron whereas EDX only detects backscattered electrons. Since heavy atoms have a greater cross section this explains the different sensitivity of both methods and their complementary behaviour.
--Mlohr (talk) 10:52, 12 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: EELS and EDX

message: A remark for the procedure: It's not necessary to extract the ZLP from the spectrum. One can also record the loss spectrum and a second one - a filtered image. For the filtered image a slit, typically in the range of 1-10 eV, is inserted in the spectrometer to filter the scattered electrons. Since both intensities are measured directly and without any algorythm trying to isolate the ZLP from the rest IMO this is the better method. This could be added to point 2 of the list.

message: The article says that the Code of Canon Law says that the Sacrament of Penance is to only be performed in a confessional, except for a just cause.  The relevant Code section says that the sacrament is only to be celebrated in a confessional or oratory, so I fixed the sentence in question.  However, as I understand it, the "just" cause mentioned in the particular based on actual practice (so this sentence might benefit from being looked at by somebody with more expertise on this subject).
On a different topic, the article has two pictures of the "traditional" confessional but only one of the more "modern" style.  There is considerable diversity in the architectural style of confessionals, but I am not sure of the prevalence of the "traditional" versus the "modern."  I shall see if I can get a second picture of the more "modern" style; in the meantime, for purposes of balance, should one of the two photographs of "traditional" confessionals be deleted temporarily?
