Talk:French Creek (Allegheny River tributary)

message: I lived my first 17 years on the banks of this river, and I never heard anyone call it anything but "French Creek," or in signage or old maps, "Riviere aux Boeufs".  I suggest that this alternate name is probably not based in any community agreement, and should be deleted from the article unless a verifiable citation is presented within a reasonable amount of time.

thread_title: French River?

message: It is, however, a mistranscription of the Seneca word for "running water" - ohnégahdë:jö:h ("oh-negah-day-joe").
 
The Seneca word for mink is jío’da:ga’ ("gee-oat-dah-gay"), quite a different sound than "onenga" or "in nungash".  It seems the colonial historians wrote down what they heard from the native speakers saying "the stream" or "the creek" and not in fact the specific name of the waterway, if it had one.

Talk:Meadville, Pennsylvania

message: If it isn't clear, what drmies is saying is that since they do have articles they are notable enough for the purposes of this page. If there is a disagreement about their notability, then the correct venue for that discussion is on the articles about those people, rather than here. It is also conceivable that people could have articles, but not be mentioned on a page like this, which is a content decision. - cohesion 22:15, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ambassador Theatre (New York City)

message: While I appreciate the effort made by another editor to create an elaborate box with past production info, I have removed it because
1) it included only shows presented since 2000. Why not a more complete history?
2) it included too much irrelevant information. Neither the fact that Chicago played at two other theatres before transferring here, nor a list of awards won by productions presented here, really has bearing on the subject of the theatre itself and is info that should be limited to articles about those productions.

thread_title:  URL in template is causing cite errors 

message: I made this change because the rabbis listed are the rabbinic leadership of RIETS ... not of the whole YU. I based the info off of RIETS's website. Additionally, I changed it from Rabbis to Roshei Yeshiva because "Rabbis" would include anyone who works at YU/RIETS that's a rabbi. This template, in its current design, is only for the roshei yeshiva. I also changed R' Lamm's title from Chancellor to Rosh HaYeshiva because, as per the website, he is Chancellor of YU and the Rosh HaYeshiva of RIETS. -shirulashem(talk) 17:46, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I would object to the use of the term rosh yeshiva for all the names listed, because not all the people in this list held that title.

Talk:Francesco Barsanti

message: The existing biography was extremely poor, and I have basically gutted it to correct the worst faults and replace them with decent info. Barsanti's life is nowhere near as well documented as one might wish, but there ARE a number of 18th and 19th century sources, as well as modern scholarly articles which together provide a reasonable picture of the man's life and work. Luigi Nerici's history of Lucca is probably the source of much of what was on the page before I edited it (the references to his return visits to Lucca in 1717 and 1718 appear nowhere else); but Hawkins should be consulted, as well as Burney (Fanny, not her father Dr. Charles, who didn't mention him at all, in spite of knowing him well and teaching his daughter), and a number of others. Ian G. Sharman's lengthy article in the IAML journal BRIO is probably the most complete and well-researched modern bio of Barsanti extant, except for my own which I can't paste in here because it appears in a copyrighted publication.
Barsanti died in 1775 (see Burney, F., diary entry May 5 1775), not 1770; he left London for Edinburg in 1735 but returned about 1743 (see Hawkins). He did not marry a 'woman of the Scottish aristocracy' but a commoner named 'Jean' about whom nothing else is known(see Sharman).
As to the previous comment on this Talk page, there are no mentions of Boccherini, Puccini, or Catalani in the article at all, and in all my research on Barsanti I have never run across anything from either Puccini or Catalani about him (although Sharman mentions Boccherini's comments as being probably inaccurate).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Recorder485 (talk • contribs) 00:25, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Deaf Communications Device

message: One should be cautioned that going out and buying a vector scope or making one from a television set or computer monitor will not provide communications capability. Human voice fed to the inputs of a vector scope will display a diagonal line that flickers with the voice volume and can not be read or understood. Inductive and capacitive reactive networks are used to induce a phase shift causing the human voice make unique patterns. 
Some of these networks are proprietary and some are in the public domain. The Lizzy Lissajous published in popular electronics in the early 1960s is an example of non proprietary network. That schematic never included the inductance of the yoke coil and therefor is not accurately reproducible.
You can experiment and create your own network with capacitors from an electronic parts supplier. If you are using a television or computer monitor you must first cut the wires to the yoke. This may cause the monitor to quit working altogether if the display needs the yoke connected to function. Many do not. If the display continues to work, you will see a dot in the middle of the screen.
When your connect the audio signal from an audio amplifier to the yoke wires you have cut, one pair will make a vertical line and the other will make a horizontal line. Connect the amplifier directly to the one that makes the shortest line and use a capacitor to connect to the other pair. Try capacitors between 1 and 200 micro farad  and put a variable resistor in parallel to the capacitor to adjust for voice frequency. When you get an open glob on the screen that changes shape with every different voice sound, you have a VED.
