Talk:Surf lifesaving

message: This article is very complete for a stub!  I think the stub tag could probably go by now. - Just zis Guy, you know? 22:02, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Having recently created flags (sport) made me realise just how small an amount of info there is about Surf lifesaving. It is one of Australia's most important and unique cultural things and should be made into a feature article. Their contribution to Australia is well known here but it deserves an international audience. 
So, can I humbly suggest that Surf Lifesaving be made a collaboration of the week? A list of Surf lifesaving clubs wouldn't go astray either. Witty lama
Would be good also to have some discussion of whether and if so why this is an Aus/NZ only phenomenonFat Red 13:21, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Australian COTW nomination 

message: There is an article about lifesaving in a more general context at lifesaving.  It would be nice for it to have a more global scope - I wondered anyone might fancy adding a paragraph similar to that about lifesaving in the UK for countries such as Australia? – drw25 (talk) 15:05, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  General lifesaving article 

message: I'm not entirely happy with the redirect of lifesaving to here.  This article is very Australia-centric, and lifesaving education and activities worldwide are not just restricted to surfing/beach situations. – drw25 (talk) 15:52, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I totally agreed with drw25 and stopped the redirect from lifesaving. This article should be separated into Surf lifesaving (or "Lifesaving activities in Australia" etc) and Lifesaving in general. The current “Lifesaving history” in this article is actually the Australian history of surf lifesaving. Surf lifesaving was originated and developed in Australia, but lifesaving itself was originated in Europe, 25-30 years before. I get the impression this article includes only the WLS (The organization founded by Australia, New Zealand ,South Aftica, U.S.), mainly Pan-Pacific countries(Australia-centric) and fail to mention FIS member countries like France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Tunisia, and Turkey. I started an article lifesaving with more global point of view, hoping we can expand it into a full and general lifesaving article. Later I will fix other articles that link to lifesaving as a redirect. --Chiew 22:19, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Glucose test

message: I don't agree with the proposal that this article be merged with the diabetes article.  The measurement of blood glucose is a common medical test that should have its own entry in Wikipedia.  Its utility is not restricted to the management of diabetes.  If it should be merged with another article, then merging it with blood sugar makes more sense. —Brim 22:02, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Guide to requests for adminship

message: Currently, there is an open-ended debate regarding whether a nomination that is going poorly should be removed from WP:RFA. There is no standard by which such nominations are removed, nor any consensus on whether they should be removed.
Is there? The RfA page clearly says that any user in good standing can use their own discretion to close an RfA that has no chance of succeeding. Is this a contradiction or am I simply interpreting this wrong? Swarm X 11:24, 12 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed that it contravenes WP:NOTDIRECTORY. I've just reverted the latest additions as being unsourced. In one case, there is nothing in the article to even establish the actor's notability. I don't think that the section should be deleted entirely, but perhaps it should be moved to a list namespace with a hatnote to the list as the entry? It's most certainly WP:UNDUE (in terms of weight), and doesn't provide a short description for each 'notable'. I'm not sure as to how one qualifies 'most notable', and suspect that it's on the WP:OR-ish side of things. Any further thoughts? --Iryna Harpy (talk) 20:19, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

message: The source I'm seeing placing the album being recorded in late 1967 only mentions Crosby meeting Mitchell around October '67 and then shortly after starting to work with her. The Joni Mitchell Archives release mentions all sessions included in that set being recorded in early 1968. Are there any liner notes included with Songs to a Seagull that confirm it was started in '67, or was that an inference based on the information at the time?

message: The last sentence of the 1st para if the Background section is this:
“The sparse, alternative-tuning laden sound of later records comes to the forefront on "Ladies of the Canyon" (one of those "ladies" being female underground comix pioneer Trina Robbins).”
The point I’m making isn’t that the bracketed info bears no relation to the rest of the sentence, other than - of course - the title of the album being there.  But the meaning of the sentence doesn’t relate.  I’m not sure where to put the bracketed info, but it shouldn’t be where it is. Boscaswell talk 09:55, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

message: I've put a citation needed tag on the statement that "Cold Blue Steel" is "a ... portrait of her then lover James Taylor's heroin addiction." While there seems to be a general impression that this is at least partly true, it doesn't appear to explain the song entirely, first of all because the lyrics describe the addict as being "black," and more generally because the whole description of an urban addict stealing things to pawn to raise money for drugs probably wouldn't have applied to Taylor when Mitchell knew him (if ever?). 850 C (talk) 16:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Hejira (album)

message: I suppose you would be able to find people who would argue that "Hejira" was the last great album Joni Mitchell made;  but you find plenty of other people who would be willing to argue otherwise.  The suggestion seems very contentious to me. Would it not be better to say something along the lines of, "Along with 'Blue' and 'Court & Spark' this album is generally considered to represent one of the high-water marks of Joni Mitchell's career." 
The trivia regaring the David Sedaris story is interesting (I'll hunt down and read that story), but is trivia nonetheless, and should be in a miscellania section of the article.
I would bet $1 000 000.000 that the person who inspired the song "Furry Sings The Blues" was not an anonymous street musician, but the very well known and accomplished blues singer and guitarist, Furry Lewis, whose wikipedia entry should be linked into this article.

message: I was reading some NASA reports before they were removed from NASA web page, and I didn't found an answer to the question of heat transfer of heat from nuclear fuel ( U/ UF4 / UF6 gas/plasma ) to the working gas/propelant (hydrogen). At high temperature the heat is transferred predominantly by radiation (rather than conduction). However, hydrogen gas is very much transparrent for this radiation. In the reports is mantioned that "seeding of hydrogen gas is required". If sepcific impuls of 5000-7000 m/s should be achieved, this corresponds to temperature of 50,000-100,000 Kelvin of the exhaust gas. Highest temperature solid/liquid seeding material (Tungsten of Hafniumi-tantalum carbide) would evaporate under 5000-6000 K. So I don't see, and I didn't found any explanation how to seed in order to achive temperatures order of magnitude higher.
>>I think if you turn gas into plasma state it becomes opaque to all radiation, so you only need to seed it to turn into plasma.
I think  reactor itself will face same problem as it will become opaque to all radiation and thus core will heat up to the temperatures until it will start emitting thermal Xrays  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.61.247.206 (talk) 23:48, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

message: In case anybody is wondering, this bit of information was reverted because, well, it's completely untrue. The Two Doctors was always planned to featured Troughton and Hines, because both of them had enjoyed their turns so much in The Five Doctors. If there had been any intention to use Hurndall and/or Ford, it is very unlikely that it would not have been mentioned in any of the authoritative reference works like The Television Companion or The Handbook. On top of that, the idea that the script had to be changed "mere days" before shooting due to Hurndall's death is also wrong, since Hurndall died in April 1984 and shooting on The Two Doctors did not begin until 9 August 1984 in Spain. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 22:57, 27 October 2005 (UTC)
