Talk:Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro Province

message: The last three paragraphs (from «The people of Tras-os-Montes, perhaps due to...» on) are just stereotypes. No informative value there. I suggest they are removed from the article.

And bearing in mind that neither the accompanying Dab nor these 3 others are supposed to list people who are not widely known without mention of their surnames. Which articles on those 3 pages come close?

Talk:Algernon Swinburne

message: I just updated the A. C Swinburne (poet) article; I'm new here and I don't know how to wikify my update, but I hope someone else will. I kept my two or three added paragraphs fairly uncontroversial, but I wish someone would discuss the whole business of updating with me, just a little.
I wrote my doctoral thesis on Swinburne, but who can tell from one's update who an article's writers are, or how much we should trust them? 
A student of mine did a prank update last week, just to show me how unreliable MIGHT be an article on Sacajawea I had passed out to the class the day before. I thought the Sacajawea article was the best thing on her I had read, far better than AMERICANA's and a little better than the one in COLLIERS, while being more up to date than either. 
My student said her prank posting lasted two days, so there are obviously some very alert people out there; will this posting get them talking to me, or am I still in the wrong place somehow?
--
i was just wondering, where could we find refferences to sadomasochism in Swinburne's poetry?

thread_title:  Trivia 

message: Would others agree that either Algernon Charles Swinburne or A C Swinburne would be a more appropriate title for this article and thus moving it to one of these (most likely the prior) would be favourable?  It strikes me that Swinburne is quite consistently cited under one of these names, and never as "Algernon Swinburne" by those who are familiar with him (perhaps by those who assume that use of first and last names, omitting the middle, is conventional).  Cases in point: both the Oxford Encyclopedia of British Literature and the Library of Congress catalogue list him as Algernon Charles Swinburne --Yst 14:04, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Absolutely. This article needs to be moved to "Algernon Charles Swinburne", but "A.C. Swinburne" would be alright too. Do a Google Books search: Algernon Charles Swinburne is how he is known. I will support the move, but I'm not sure how to do it properly. The article also needs a lot of work.

replies: text:  Indeed, I've gone ahead and moved Algernon Swinburne to Algernon Charles Swinburne straight away, and the former redirect to Algernon Swinburne.

Talk:Jill Ker Conway

message: In the formal announcement of her AC today, she's shown as "Professor Jill KER CONWAY".  That suggests her surname is double-barrelled unhyphenated.  --  Jack of Oz [Talk] 09:55, 10 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Surname

message: The Road from Coorain clearly states that the Governess was engaged for the education of her elder brothers only; she was frequently present but the lessons were not directed to her. Rather her early formal education was "by correspondence", with oversight from her mother.
The move to Sydney was not made to further the boys' education (or Jill's) as implied in the article; in fact, the boys had been boarding at a prestigious private Sydney school for some years before Jill and her mother joined them in Sydney.
It should be worth noting, and is hinted at in The Road from Coorain (by reference to the much more substantial and wealthy nearby station Clare), that Coorain was in fact sub-economic in size (as many if not most post-war soldier settler allotments were). Stations in this area of Australia are more typically of several hundreds of thousands of acres, rather than Coorain's mere 32,000.

message: This may be a tad premature, but hospitalist-specific training recommendations are going to be presented at SHM (I think) after New Year's. There is enough evidence in the literature for specific training that I think more real tracks (not just extra inpatient months in 2nd and 3rd years) will crop up. Detailing hospitalist-specific training may be a worthwhile addition to the article, especially since it's being used to legitimize HM as a separate profession. - Emt147 Burninate! 23:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Specific training 

message: Hi! Just wondering why the history section only covers hospital medicine in the United States.  The culture of hospital medicine dates back into the 18th century in Paris, and there is a vast history of hospital medicine missing from this article.  The article is also very American-centric as a whole, even though hospital medicine is nearly as old as America itself. Sarfrazzle (talk)
I agree with Sarfrazzle that this article would benefit from a broader worldview - an overview of medical practice within hospitals is incomplete without considering Paris institutions, among others. Alternatively, this article could be renamed explicitly "Hospital Medicine in the United States", perhaps, but I prefer the general nature of the "Hospital medicine" scope. Henryschuh (talk) 03:26, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: This article is about the relatively new medical specialty. See Hospital for the general article on medical practice in hospitals. History of hospitals already covers some of the "vast history" of hospital medicine, but could use more work.

thread_title: NCIS Los Angeles

message: Quoth the article:
: This structure was an "X" of two I-beams, with an engine on each beam and the center engine at the intersection of the beams. The center of the cruciform was unsupported, so the central F-1 engine caused the structure to bend upwards. The "Pogo" oscillation occurred when this structure sprung back, lengthening the center engine's fuel line below (which was mounted down the center of the cruciform), temporarily reducing the fuel flow and thus reducing thrust. At the other end of the oscillation, the fuel line was compressed, increasing fuel flow - causing a sinusoidal thrust oscillation during the 1st stage ascent.
I don't understand how there is negative feedback here.  Let's say that the centre engine is pushing hard upwards on the X-cruciform beams.  The fuel line is, as it says, compressed, increasing fuel flow.  So the engine thrusts more and pushes harder upwards, compressing the fuel line further.  That's positive feedback, not negative feedback surely? Richard W.M. Jones 11:41, 11 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The sentence “Both bacterial and viral labyrinthitis can cause permanent hearing loss in rare cases.” has been in the introduction for over a decade. The assertion is quite reasonable, so although I am not even a physician let alone an expert in the field, I believe it. But I have two concerns about this sentence.
# I would put money that either bacterial or viral labyrinthitis alone can, in rare cases, cause permanent hearing loss. The sentence as written implies that having both bacterial and viral labyrinthitis (simultaneously, I presume) can cause permanent hearing loss.
# I’ve skimmed through the cited work, and it does not really support the assertion, at least not very well.

message: Is there any evidence that Wellington was official the Secretary of State (as per the old pre1660 use of the term) as opposed to just holding all the ministerial offices with that in the title? Timrollpickering 19:58, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have any direct evidence, but technically there is only one office of Secretary of State, the departmental affixes being used simply to distinguish between its several holders (see Secretary of State (United Kingdom)). If all the departments are headed by the same person, as is the case here, this distinction becomes unnecessary. The original source I used when beginning this article, British Historical Facts 1830-1900 by Chris Cook and Brendan Keith (Macmillan, 1975) says in a footnote to Wellington's listing as Secretary of State in this government: "Constitutionally speaking, the appointment of one Secretary of State is sufficient, since each Secretary of State has full power to transact the business of any or all the departments into which the office is divided." For what it's worth, Wellington's entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography reads "With Peel absent in Italy, the duke was sworn in as first Lord of the Treasury and secretary of state on 17 November to act as temporary head of a new government until his colleague's arrival three weeks later. He then [my italics] became foreign secretary." Opera hat 16:07, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

As for the brief Churchill ministry of May - July 1945, "the Caretaker Ministry" was a mildly derogatory nickname imposed by its opponents, which stuck because the ministry was so short-lived. Despite a lot of lazy assertion by writers who haven't looked into it, I've never found anybody focussing on the matter in hand who states that Churchill was asked to form "a caretaker ministry".
