Talk:Campbell Scott

message: Where did that photo come from? He looks like he's at Death's door!! I saw him in a couple films made only 2 years ago and he doesn't look nearly that old. My first reaction was that he's in old-age makeup for a role. Perhaps we could find a better, more representative photograph? Woodson
This rundown of Scott's work has overlooked one of the most important works of all: his direction and  leading role in a film version of Shakespeare's Hamlet (2000). This is set in the post-bellum American South, and Scott delivers a fine performance, highly intelligent, and one of the most appealing and youthful of the many Hamlets. Scott is in full command of the material, and it is a very naturalistic, American version of the material. 
Most of the other characters are also excellent. A production unfortunately not well known, but available on DVD.  This is also missing from the page on Hamlet film versions.  [USer75.157.254.178 (talk) 07:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Chico Buarque

I've changed the translation slightly. Rather than "son of the other one", it is now "son of another". This preserves the consecutive use of "outra", present in the portuguese, and more closely resembles the meter of the original lyric.

thread_title: Encyclopedic Content Must Be Verifiable

message: There seems some confusion over dates and patrons here:
# "In the interval he enjoyed the patronage of Ferdinand III of Tuscany". This redirects to Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, for whom the lifespan of 1769–1824 is given. Hence Ferdinand III wasn't born until 44 years after Scarlatti's death in 1725.
# "The operas composed for Ferdinand de' Medici are lost". There were two Ferdinands de' Medici: 1549–1609 and 1610-1670. The first died before Scarlatti's birth in 1660, and Scarlatti was only ten when the second died.
Can someone provide some clarification here?     --BillC 23:36, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Some of the facts in this article are not consistent with other observations.  For instance "It is also the fifth largest (by volume) tree in the world with a circumference of 89 feet (27 m) " is not consistent with the article on Giant Sequoias which lists the top 10 which are all bigger.
:The top ten list is ordered by volume; if a tree is really tall, it needn't be so stout to rank above a shorter but stouter tree. The cited measurements also ought to specify at what height above ground the measure is taken (I'll have to fix that!) as they have such pronounced butt swell: a ground level measurement can easily be a couple of metres more than a measure taken at the forester's standard 'breast height' (1.3m above ground) measure. - MPF 08:02, 28 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Radiant thinks I'm making a point by unilaterally introducing a quorum policy.  This is simply incorrect.
From Wikipedia:Guide_to_Votes_for_deletion: "[The limit on renomination ] does not apply if a VFD discussion had no consensus for a simple lack of interest (e.g. two or three votes total); those are sometimes relisted immediately, to draw people's attention to them."  There is never any harm in letting a discussion continue of it has only attracted a very few votes.

control of "a number of prime downtown locations in Toronto (Eaton

I would guess that the other locations mentioned are all downtown --

all the others, so I don't know how best to correct the wording.

File talk:Mouse-mechanism-cutaway.png

message: nice picture. --Cyberman 00:56, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
Am I correct that the picture is drawn with a single optical encoder on each axis? I'm not really sure how that would work; you can get speed, but how do you get direction? It is possible to use a more complicated code on the wheels that would allow that, but that is not what is drawn. The howstuffworks page shows a mouse with a simple pattern like here, but two photosensors. That gives two signals (roughly) in quadrature, which allows you to determine the direction. The graphic is very nice though, very clear.

thread_title:  Copal? 

message: The author might like to rephrase this expression.  I can't offer a suggestion as I don't know what is actually intended by the term.
When light passes through the surface of a material, it is refracted at the boundary, this is the bending of light at the interface.
When light bounces off the surface of a material it is reflected.
When light is bent so as to be split into its consituent spectral colours, it is diffracted.
Refracting off something is not possible.
My understanding is that the blue colour occurs because of absorbed ultraviolet light being re-radiated in the blue range of the visible spectrum ... this is none of the three options I mentioned above.  Perhaps the black background only serves to make the blue light visible to the eye?  The reflected light from a white background may overwhelm it and render it undetectable?

And the second photograph, captioned "Polished blue amber under direct sunlight" is of a specimen discovered in West Java, Indonesia.

"To convert from g/cm³ to kg/m³, multiply by 1000; divide by 1000 for the opposite conversion. A gram per litre is identical in value to kg/m³"
 
I was thinking it would be g * 1000, and cm * 100 (to covert to kg/m³).  I would think kg/m³multiplied times 1000 would be g/mm³(mm instead of cm)?
I'm no math wiz -- so I'm probably being clueless on this.
