Talk:Minute

message: In a Google search for "natural minute" most results were either clones of this page, or phrases like "natural. Minute" and similar. I cleaned it up a little (the link to natural units makes me think it's defined in terms of planck times and the other ones are the approximate ones. However, as long as we haven't any reference, I tagged it as cleanup-verify.--Army1987 19:55, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is the reference: http://www.planck.com/practicalplanck/practindex.htm (Planck units are sometimes called natural units, so that may be where the "natural minute" name comes from.)

message: The article says: "The correct abbreviation or symbol for minute or minutes is min". This seems to suggest there is someone somewhere who decides what is correct or not, and what about "mins", "m" or the symbol ' ? --78.144.169.15 (talk) 20:37, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the SI says so. I've already corrected, anyway. The symbol is min (without dot), which is not an abbreviation. To abbreviate minute you can use min., mins., m., or whatever you like, although those three are probably the most common ones.--Wafry (talk) 21:53, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be noted that 'm' by itself should not be used, in order to avoid confusion with meters, whose symbol is m. As Wafry points out, the symbol does not use a dot, but abbreviations do. This can lead to confusion as well. In proper typography, numbers should be used only with the symbol (min), and spelled out numbers should be used only with the full word, so for example we have 40 min but forty minutes.

message: There should 
be some mention here of using Benedict's solution to identify aldehydes...I'll write something up about it soon. Added some very bare-bones info on using Benedict's to identify aldehydes.

thread_title: Expansion

message: The sentences: 
Even more generally, Benedict's test will detect the presence of aldehydes, and alpha-hydroxy-ketones, including those that occur in certain ketoses. Thus, although the ketose fructose is not strictly a reducing sugar, it is an alpha-hydroxy-ketone, and gives a positive test because it is converted to the aldoses glucose and mannose by the base in the reagent.[2]
seems to be talking about Fehling's Test for Reducing Sugars which seems a different test (is it?).  In addition, the reference link is broken (and appears to be for a German language site, at least the 404 error is in German)

Talk:Boleslaus III, Duke of Bohemia

message: Anyone have any opinions on what the proper naming conventions for Boleslav I, Boleslav II, and Boleslav III should be? The Naming Conventions Project indicates that the most commonly recognized English-language form of the name should be used- this would presumably be the Latin Boleslaus. It was suggested at Guidelines for the spelling of names of Polish rulers that pre-royal names should be local in name while royal names should be English/Latin in name, but I do not know if that was ever accepted.
I personally prefer "Boleslaus III the Red (Czech: Boleslav III. Ryšavý)" with the article name Boleslaus III of Bohemia, but want to see what other people think before I propose a move. Olessi 21:27, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

"They were also the first attempt to set stories on a known planet outside the solar system." Are we sure about that? It seems unlikely. For example the Lensman series and The Skylark of Space predate it. DJ Clayworth 17:40, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Lensman certainly predates it, and the author ("Doc" Smith) does occasionally use the names of real stars, but none of the books in that series (I've read them) have a planet based on a planet that had actually been detected by science (mistakenly or not).
