message: The title is misleading to all but a very few users.  The vast majority of creams on the market are pronouncedly not pharmaceutical.  This article either needs a lot of redirects from other articles and the search page or be renamed.  Renaming would be easier, since this should be the "jump off' point for sub-pages like Lotion, Cold cream and probably others I don't know of off hand.

thread_title:  Back to GA nomination 

message: This article fails in several areas. Please don't be discouraged. You can rewrite it an resubmit it at a later date. Some observations:
*Neutral point of view? No The article sings this individual's praises with every breath: 
**"Tommy", as he is fondly called
**He not only excelled in the realm of public service but practically in all his endeavors.
**Coming from a family where politics and leadership is a natural dominion, his management and leadership skills were honed at a very young age.
**He also became the moral fiber of numerous activities and programs
**...he took the challenge of bringing Cebu to its grandeur  (Note this is NPOV about Cebu; not about the politician himself. Who says it has "grandeur"?)
*Well-written? This needs help too. Several sections read like lists of items of events.
*Verifiable? No. Several important statements are uncited. 
I hope you will go back to the drawing board and rewrite this. Good luck with future nominations.--Ling.Nut 21:24, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

replies: text:  'Konvas-Avtomat' was a common name for a number of cameras: 1KSR (at the picture in article); 1KSR-1M; 1KSR-2M. 1KSR was the very first of 'Avtomats' with three different drives in the set: spring drive, hand crank (at the picture) and electric drive. Later, in 1970 1KSR production was deleted and it was changed by new camera 1KSR-1M with different drive attachment for a single type electric 15 EPSS (15 ЭПСС). One more new version was 1KSR-2M with a single lens hole instead of rotating turret. The lens mount was a version of Mitchell BNC, which called in USSR 'ОСТ-19' (OST-19). Both new cameras were equipped with rotateable viewfinder. Later 15 EPSS drive was changed for 17EP-16APK with cristal sync.

thread_title: Comments

message: Hi, 
I came to this page to double check the lyrics for the song The Burning of Auchindoun as my mother used to sing it in Aberdeenshire, but the lines I was looking for aren't here. 
After some frantic googling I found them in Child 183 version A: 
Coming down Deeside,
In a clear morning,
Auchindown was in flame,
Ere the cock-crawing.
But coming oer Cairn Croom,
And looking down, man,
I saw Willie Macintosh
Burn Auchindown, man,
`Bonny Willie Macintosh,
Whare left ye your men?'
`I left them in the Stapler,
But they'll never come hame.'
`Bonny Willie Macintosh,
Whare now is your men?'
`I left them in the Stapler,
Sleeping in their sheen.'
Though my family's version of the song also finished with the fantastic "Crawing" verse from Child 183 B. This page only seems to have the Child's version B lyrics, and a scout around youtube shows several folk groups all using version B with not a trace of poor old version A. The mention of local places like the Stapler (elsewhere written Stepler) is more obscure, but as a child I remember my father, who spent quite a time in the local history records in the library reading up on the doings of the Gordon family, taking me to the song's wild locations in the Cabrach and explaining to me the background of the feud and something of what went on - so for me those references add a lot of colour. Would it be appropriate to add Chile B to this page or is there some copyright issue involved? (I didn't want to just wade in and make changes as I've never edited a wiki page).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by FrightenedRat (talk • contribs) 18:16, 31 December 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  DESCENDANTS 

message: This edit caught my eye. That led me to look at the points in the lead and in the infobox where  has info about the article mentions cabinet positions held by Trias. In the infobox, I saw these positions set forth as:
*Minister of Finance
*Minister of National Defense
A primary source, the Malolos Constitution (as published by the current Philippine government) says, in part:
A reliable secondary source titled "MASTER LIST OF CABINET SECRETARIES/MINISTERS" (published by the current Philippine government) which lists current and historical holders of those articles lists Mariano Trías as having held two positions with the nomenclature of Secretary heading departments with the nomenclatures of Department of Finance (1/2/1899 – 5/7/1899) and Department of War (5/7/1899 – 11/13/1899).
From these and other sources, I believe that it would be appropriate in this article to use the position titles Secretary of Finance and Secretary of War for those Malolos Republic cabinet positions which Trias held. I have edited the article to reflect that, citing the second of the two sources mentioned above in support. I have also edited the dates in office in those positions in the infobox to agree with the dates shown in that source.
I don't believe that there is a close enough association between those positions which Trias held in 1899 and cabinet positions with portfolios in Finance and National Defense in the current Philippine governemt to warrent wikilinking references to those positions held by Trias with WP articles about those departments in the current Philippine government. Accordingly, I have removed those wikilinks. Wtmitchell  (talk) (earlier Boracay Bill) 03:43, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Location and size calculations? 

message: "The entrance pupil [...] , it lies behind the first optical surface of the system." The pupil can be located well beyond the first optical surface, which I agree includes the fact it is behind the first optical surface, but formulated this way the sentence can mislead some readers to interpret it as that "behind the first optical surface" is its sole location. I suggest to remove "it lies behind the first optical surface of the system." or reformulate it: "[...] it lies beyond the first optical surface [...]".Kogatana (talk) 00:22, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The full sentence reads, "The entrance pupil is usually a virtual image: it lies behind the first optical surface of the system." I don't see how to make that clearer. The main point here is that the image is usually virtual. It doesn't matter whether the pupil is just behind the first surface, or far behind it. Behind first surface = virtual.--Srleffler (talk) 06:13, 1 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Location of the pupil 

message: I removed the parenthetical "(as the location is where a chief ray or its extension, depending on whether the pupil is a real or virtual image, crosses the optical axis)" from the sentence about the role of the entrance pupil in a camera lens. This insertion made the sentence pretty much incomprehensible, and provides no value to the typical reader. You cannot assume the reader knows what a chief ray is, or what you mean by an "extension" or what a real or virtual image is. The article hasn't dealt with these topics at all up to that point in the text. Inserting technical details in parentheses in a less technical sentence does not work, in general. 
Even for a reader who understands these things, the parenthetical comment doesn't actually explain anything. -- Srleffler (talk) 05:19, 6 October 2023 (UTC)

*An image editor can use it to alter depth-of-field, blurring or sharpening/deconvoluting selected ranges.

These are not clear. The luma component in Y′CbCr/YCbCr color encoding is/can be; and individual R, G and B channels also can be (each rendering different grayscale results), when the channels are not assigned/mapped to R, G and B, or when interpreted as grayscale.
