Talk:Anatoli Bugorski

message: Please make the following change:
"Bugroski is married to Faith Nikolaevne, and they ..."
should be 
"Bugroski is married to Vera Nikolaevna, and they ..."
Russian word "vera" can be translated as "faith", but in this case "Vera" (Вера, common women's name in Russia - see, for instance, Wikipedia entry on Vera Zasulich) is the first name and shouldn't be translated.
"Nikolaevne" is a conjugated variant of "Nikolaevna" (Николаевна), Russian patronymic (second) name; in English translation, non-conjugated variant should be used.
Thanks, Valery

thread_title: Marriage

message: A long time ago I wrote this article (in its first form), and it remained the same for months. Then I submitted it to Reddit expecting it to get little or no upvotes. Suprise, it got to Number 2 with 760 points! Then somebody else submitted it to Digg, and so far it has 1780 diggs and is Number 2 in "All Topics". Maybe Slashdot or Fark is coming next? Who knows! All I know is that I've made this guy famous. atomicthumbs 18:41, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Congratulations. Now we have to protect this rather unusual page. Perhaps all this popularity will prompt someone to investigate further into these events.--71.119.136.112 (talk) 02:28, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The radiation dose quoted should be in Gray, or more correctly, Sievert.  The rad (radiation absorbed dose) is an archaic measurement discouraged by the SI group. The Sievert is the dose equivalent in living tissue - it's discussed on Wikipedia, but I need to check a reference book to make sure the QF and N-values are correct being recalulating. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 81.104.187.185 (talk) 17:52, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I think the 200,000 Gray should be 2,000 Gray for the same reason.  200,000 Rad = 2,000 Gray.  I made this change.  Skalchemist 19:19, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect radiation measurement 

message: It would be nice if the proton's energy (perhaps in MeV or GeV) and its intensity is quoted, if it is possible.

replies: text: The U-70 accelerator operated at the eponymous 70 GeV (max). Finding the operational energy at the time of the alleged accident may prove harder. Infojunkie23 (talk) 03:02, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Beam details 

message: I do not understand the sentence that states The beam measured about 2000 gray when it entered Bugorski's skull, and about 3000 gray when it exited after colliding with the inside of his head. Grays are units of radiation dose (Joules/sec) - they are not units of a linac beam. For example, you could say that if his head remained in the beam for X seconds he would absorb a dose of N grays. In addition, how can the dose (grays) of the beam increase after exiting his head. Perhaps the writer was referring to the liminosity of the beam, which increased due to particle production inside the brain/skull tissue?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by PloniAlmoni (talk • contribs) 09:10, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've removed the reference to "gray" as they are, as you suggest, entirely inappropriate units of measurement, and there's no clear sense of what was intended to be communicated by those figures in the Wired article from which it was lifted verbatim. Also please note that the links to all other sources are dead. The reliability of the information in this article should definitely be regarded as questionable. Bobathon (talk) 14:14, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think some clarification of the energy involved would be useful. Someone like me might assume that the 76 GeV figure is the total energy of the beam (that's what this article seems to be saying, for example). It seems that, in fact, that was the energy of each proton. 10^-8 J does not seem like it should be lethal, but 20,000 J of radiation does sound like it would be. It probably increased from 2k to 3k grays because of a change in velocity from scattering? Similar to how neutrons also have a peak in damage done to tissue at a specific velocity, though it might be just damage per energy. 23.121.191.18 (talk) 21:38, 29 April 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Radiation dose 

message: I have read in several places, including the Wired article, that the side of his face that was struck does not age, and the Wikipedia entry does not make a mention of that.  Would this be due to the fact that his face is paralyzed, or could it be something else causing this phenomenon, or could it be entirely hearsay?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.198.151.166 (talk) 22:10, 11 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Aging process slowed 

message: Not sure if that would follow Wikipedia's guidelines seeing as an injury out of star wars might be seen as abit too gruesome.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.196.23.15 (talk) 04:04, 1 July 2015 (UTC)
