Talk:Albatros D.III

message: One does wonder why Austrian Albatros propeller spinners fell off while German ones didn't - also why the Austrian machines were strengthened and had thereafter no structural failures while German ones (after repeated attempts to strengthen the lower wing) went right on having them. Unfortunately, unless we can find a source that explains these anomalies we are stuck with them. Explanations, even casual comments that assume that (say) the Austrians did, or didn't do something the Germans could have copied, are speculation and/or original research.--Soundofmusicals (talk) 14:27, 30 July 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Book? Film? 

message: Two sources suggest the story of Grahame beginning her relationship with Tony when the latter was underage may be untrue.
From news.com.au; January 2018
Four years before she [Grahame] and [Peter] Turner met, she divorced her last husband, Tony Ray — her former stepson by her second husband, director Nicholas Ray. Legend had it that the older Ray found them in bed together when Tony was 13. “It’s fiction,” Turner told The Post. “The scandal arose when she was going through a bitter child-custody battle with her third husband, Cy Howard, who took her to the cleaners. When she married Nick’s son later, the press made a big meal of it.” 
And from Entertainment Weekly,February 21, 2018: 
Later, when she battled [Cy] Howard for custody of their daughter, Marianna Paulette, rumors circulated that Grahame had initially seduced Tony when he was just 13 — news that, along with her tarnished professional reputation, made her a Hollywood outcast. . 188.141.25.160 (talk) 20:36, 15 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Touby Lyfoung

message: Recently, a quote from a 1972 book by McCoy was inserted into the article (along with many other useful, substantive edits). In fact, McCoy's assertions are somewhat controversial as documented in a recent exchanged in the Madison Isthmus: http://www.thedailypage.com/daily/article.php?article=6376. Dr. Gary Yia Lee (a reputable Hmong scholar) raises some problems with McCoy's scholarship. I think the language of the quote is also problematic since it consistently refers to Hmong people as "Meo," a non-native term that most find highly derogatory. With a better source it might be worth re-adding some of the content, but I would suggest that it should be kept in balance with the rest of the article. As Dr. Lee notes in his letter to the Isthmus, Hmong and other ethnic minorities in SE Asia grew opium as a cash crop as part of the complex colonial economy (a practice some continue to this day). It was legal at the time and rather non-notable (especially since the Hmong had no part in converting it into other drugs like heroin.) I don't disagree that Lyfoung might have been involved in the purchasing board, but I don't trust McCoy's source on whose idea it was to raise the tax and make it payable in opium (which did happen). Nposs 04:50, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have re-inserted the section on Opium trade. I am using a quote from a well known source, with a reference and link. What is the reason for removing it?  You may not like McCoy, but his sources include interviews with Touby Lyfoung.  The use of the term 'Meo' is unfortunate from our current perspective, but the label was commonly used at the time. APB-CMX 05:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I tried to be very clear in my reasons. Did you not read the the article I linked? I don't disagree that the material could be worked into the article, but copying a paragraph wholesale from a controversial source (included inflammatory language) is not the best way. His involvement in the opium trade would be a very minor point in his life, yet as it stands, it makes up a large part of the encyclopedia entry. Seems rather out of balance. (Also, "authoritative" is rather POV when discussing a source that reputable scholars have criticized.) Nposs 05:12, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, I have read the Isthmus article. It makes no reference to Touby Lyfoung, and McCoy makes a convincing response to Gary Yia Lee's accusations. But I don't want to start an edit war. My intention was to add some substance to a stub that was short on details and long on romanticism. I think we are making progress; a few hours ago the article had no references and now it has got four. I agree it is important to mention the French influence, but I wouldn't like to see the balance shift too far in an apologist direction. However, if we keep the link to 'Politics of Opium' I will not be making further edits to this section. And thanks for the correction regarding Nong Het! APB-CMX 06:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Effect of variables on range? 

message: If shot at ground level in flat ground, directly ahead, θ would be 0... But this would result in the operatino giving 0 as the length of the range, how does oen calculates such a shot? Besides... There is no data whether speed to be used has to be in m/s, km/s or km/hr...Undead Herle King (talk) 04:39, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the range really is zero. If the projectile is shot at ground level on flat ground, then it hits the ground immediately. It may well continue moving, but it's much farther from ideal projectile motion (due to friction and support against gravity) than when the projectile is in the air. And it doesn't matter what units you use — as long as they're consistent, it'll work. Consistent means that for some length unit a and time unit b, your initial speed must be given in a/b units, your value for g in a/b2 units, and the result will be in a units. --216.171.188.181 (talk) 20:48, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Forward shot 

message: Really, this is all about ideal projectile motion, rather than actual projectile motion, where things like air resistance have to be accounted for.  I'm going to tinker with it a bit, but someone who knows about the effects of projectile size, shape, and mass; and barrel length and rifling, for instance, could add a lot. --Badger151 (talk) 14:42, 27 February 2010 (UTC)

Even if that was true, I don't feel some guy's "gut feeling" that just 800,000 people fit on Paulista is WP:RS, considering the PMs have released estimates in the millions for 2006's Marcha por Jesus and the Gay Pride parade.--Dali-Llama 03:50, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought all ombudsman articles were public. Anyway, instead of saying that just 800,000 people fit, we can say what are the dimensions of Paulista Avenue, which are verifiable, and also say that the Parade doesn't stay just in Paulista Avenue. I don't think there was a reason to remove the links, though. A.Z. 03:57, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry, I just removed them because they're behind a pay curtain, so there's no way for anyone else (other than Folha subscribers) to check it. I agree that the argument about the parade extending beyond Paulista is valid, but we need a source that says that, otherwise saying just "here are the dimensions of Paulista" and saying it disputes the number of people would be synthesis.--Dali-Llama 04:01, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a good source (even better in English). It still begs the question: there's no Datafolha estimate in that article, just some guy's. I'm afraid I wouldn't consider the opinion of a random guy writing a letter a reliable source for questioning the number of participants. If another newspaper or organization questioned the number, then absolutely. The ombusdman's issue, as I understood it,, wasn't with the number itself, but rather with Folha accepting the number without their own internal estimate.--Dali-Llama 04:14, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

"Toronto Pride Week has not been without controversy, as the growth of the event in recent years has led to questions about whether it has become an overly commercial enterprise at the mercy of its sponsors and business interests.  Programming includes all races, communities, and gender identifications. In 2010 there was a controversy over Pride Toronto's decisions regarding the participation of the group, Queers Against Israeli Apartheid. After deciding not to allow the phrase "Israeli Apartheid" in May, Pride Toronto reversed that decision June 23, allowing the group to participate. "
