Talk:Dora Carrington

message: She was named Carrington, Dora Carrington.
Is there any traceble source that justifies "de Hougton"??
: Yes, give or take a typo.
: Her parents were Samuel Carrington and Charlotte Eliza Houghton, who married in 1888
: Carrington's name at birth was registered as Dora de Hoghton Carrington
: 'Hoghton' is probably a misprint, by the registrar or the indexer.
: Her brother Noel gives her name as 'Dora de Houghton Carrington' in an appendix to Garnett's book.
: There appears to be no evidence for 'Hougton' as such

thread_title: Untitled

message: Kudos to the article for pointing out a fact which was much neglected during Carrington's  lifetime: she was a serious, productive artist with  powerful talents. It's high time someone with the nerve and the credentials compared her body of work with that of, let's say, the somewhat overpraised Vanessa Bell.
In regard to Virginia Woolf's rather snarky evaluation of Carrington: it's important to remember (according to Woolf's biographer and nephew, Quentin Bell) that as a young woman Woolf had hoped to marry Lytton Strachey. But he rejected her, and lived on terms of loving friendship with Carrington until his death.

message: I have removed the NPOV and Clean-up tags for this page.  
No reason was given here on the talk page for the POV issues, but I cleaned up the obvious ones.  If anything was missed, clean it up or discuss it here.  
I also checked the major points for accuracy.  Dates, such as if he returned to Africa in 1841 or 1842, seem to be up for debate.  (Perhaps he left New York in 1841 and arrived in Africa in 1842?)

Talk:Curve tracer

message: Are Sony/Tek still manufacturing any curve tracers? DFH 19:09, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, you can find the 371B (high power) and 370B (high voltage) curves tracer in the tektronix website. They are minor evolutions of older systems (370, 371, 370A, 371A) which are more than 10 years old (basically, the oldest systems have no floppy disc, while the more recents have a 1.44MB floppy disc...). IIRC, the sony logo is no longer displayed on the curve tracers, but I might be wrong. CyrilB 21:16, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: *Let us not forget that Tektronix made a tube curve tracer (Model 570) meaning it traced the curves of  electron tubes, not just being constructed using electron tube technology. Maybe provision should be made to include info? 69.117.136.18 01:23, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Tube Curve tracer

message: As far as I can tell, most if not all of this article is not specific to semiconductors, but applies to other DUT types as well (vacuum tubes, for example; but even passive elements like resistors can in principle be tested with a curve tracer). Would it make sense to remove the "semiconductor" part from the title and apply some (minor) edits to the text to make this article more general (not specific to semiconductors only)? Mbrennwa (talk) 16:47, 18 March 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  SEMICONDUCTOR curve tracers, or curve tracers in general? 

message: The first sentence "A semiconductor curve tracer (also known as a semiconductor parameter analyzer) is a..." seems inaccurate. A curve tracer is used to determine the V-I *curves* of the DUT, while parameter analyzer is used to determine the *parameter values* of the DUT (for example gain, transconductance, etc.).

Talk:Regency dance

message: Politically and constitutionally it was the British Regency as it was after the Acts of Union 1707, and the Act of Union 1800 and applied to the whole of the United Kingdom but I didn't want to just leap in and change it as the article is full of references to England and, of course, English Country Dance which leads onto the question: Is there something particularly English about Regency dance? Thanks, Bruce Kiore (talk) 08:42, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You may well be right; but have you got some solider references than Nelson or the Vintage Dancers org for this stuff, Joshua? It can be argued that neither is a :NPOV source, since as I understand it they can be deemed rivals/competitors to what fen think of as Regency Dance history. --Orange Mike | Talk 02:15, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it isn't. The page title is 'Derawar fort,' but it should be 'Derawar Fort.' The text says 'Derawar Fort,' but the page title doesn't. So either the rules of capitalization changed pretty recently, I'm blind, or the page title is wrong. --Ardour 02:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The third paragraph at this time has poor english and is written in an opinion style.
:"The historic Derawar Fort, enormous and impressive structure in the heart of Cholistan desert, is rapidly crumbling and if the immediate preventative measures are not taken, the edifice will be destroyed and the historians, researchers and sightseers deprived of the view of the legacy of the bygone era. Like so many other historic sites in the country, Derawar Fort is yet another sign of old times we are poised to lose forever due to the apathy of those who are responsible for its upkeep and preservation."

message: The article states: "Derawar fort was first built in the 9th century AD by Rai Jajja bhati".
But in the following paragraph, it states: "In 711 CE, the fort was captured by the Arab Umayyad commander Muhammad ibn Qasim".
If the fort was only built in the 9th century, it makes no sense for it to have been captured in the 8th century. In addition, there does not seem to be any source for this aforementioned claim. Dastarn Khan (talk) 18:03, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Note from Mir Atta Muhammad Talpur:
It is not fair to copy article from other web site and post on Wikipedia without consent of writer /author or even mentioning his name. This is very unfortunate. In this article, I have found that most of the contents have been copied from my article posted on my web site at http://talpurs.com/places/ranikot.htm. I don't mind posting it on Wikipedia but the people who have done this should know this is not the right way of contributing to the Wkipedia. In the interest of spreading knowledge and information about Sindh, I allow this here. However, there is need of some changes in the article to make it appear as encyclopedic entery. I will attempt to make it look like this as and when I get some time or in the meanwhile other friends may try. I would like the the people who have copied/pasted my article here to also post reference to my article and its web link at the end of the article. Also, there are some other references to be mentioned. These very important references can be found on my web site page. Instead of I do this, I leave it to those people to who have done this mistake to rectify it too. Mir 14:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Oberek

message: First of all, "oberek" doesn't mean "to hop and turn". I cannot give the precise etymological explanantion, but "oberek" comes from the word "obracać" ('to turn') and traditional way of dancing in Central Poland is very flat, on heels, without any "hopping". 
The point is however, I believe, to observe differences between actual way of dancing in the (past) folk culture of Poland and stylised methods used by folk dance ensembles, which can be very different.

A special feature of these vehicles was that they were factory original left hand drive versions instead of the usual right hand drive versions available in Australia and Japan.
Also the Bellett was found to be an excellent rally car because of its advanced suspension setup (independent suspension on all wheels with sway bars both in front and rear), superb weight distribution for a front engine car (53% front/47% rear), fast steering as standart (2,9 rotations of the steering wheel lock to lock) and powerful & advanced engines for its day (120 hp standart from 1,6 liter doch GT motor). The Bellett could also be tilted to 53 degrees in sideways before it turns over, making it stable in cornering...
