Talk:Cloth of gold

message: I was under the impression that cloth of gold was a fabric created from the "beards" of certain bivalves. I know that it was said to be so fine that a dress of cloth-of-gold could be drawn through a ring - that doesn't seem like it would be likely with actual gold involved. I don't doubt the current explanation, but is it the only one? Graidan (talk) 07:30, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

message: The mention of "marramas" is dubious. Supposedly it's a cloth from 14th-century China, but the cited source only calls it "oriental". A google search only seems to bring up similarly-worded definitions of "marramas" or "mattabas" which are probably derived from this article. I'm tempted to remove this entirely unless something more reliable is found. — ʀoyoтϵ 20:45, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Montasser el-Zayat

message: I am guessing that "snatch team" was changed to "CIA" cause it was a red-link.

replies: text: I'm not crazy about red links, no, it's true, but I changed it because "snatch team" doesn't appear to be an actual thing.  Googling the term yields very few hits with the phrase in this context (a bunch of guys kidnapping another guy), and all of them (so far as I could tell) related to this case.  I'm changing it to a more accurate and encyclopedic term, and also adding "allegedly".  Ford MF 08:56, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Alfa Romeo (Formula One)

message: This article has been created as a point for all the F1-related references to "Alfa Romeo" to link to, so that if the place where Alfa Romeo's involvement in Formula One is described ever changes, all the links (of which there are many) won't need to be updated. Alfa Romeo's involvement in Formula One is currently described in the "Formula One" section of Alfa Romeo in motorsport, but there is a likelihood that as the Alfa Romeo in motorsport article develops, the Formula One section might need to be split out as a separate article, in which case either:
* the text can be transferred here, or
* this article can be changed to point to the new location.

Talk:Charmian London

message: I removed the PROD notice because Charmian London is an important figure in the life of Jack London, author of several books about her life with Jack London, and prominently mentioned and extensively discussed in all biographies of Jack London.
Borderline, maybe, but not a PROD. Should go through AfD at least.
It's sort of a tossup whether this should be a separate article or part of the Jack London article; indeed, Charmian London used to be a redirect to Jack London. On the whole, though, the fact that she survived Jack London by almost forty years, and had a life of her own (including an affair with Houdini), makes me lean toward retaining it as a separate article.

thread_title: wtf

message: Recently I cleaned up this article and removed most of a list of "media placements" of songs by The Weepies in various movies and TV shows, though I kept reference to one significant on-screen appearance and the significant inclusion in Barack Obama's campaign ad. I made these changes because a detailed long list of appearances doesn't seem to me to be relevant (beyond the simple recognition that songs have occasionally been used) and doesn't follow standard practice—if you look at pages for other bands you don't see long lists of various appearances in media unless they are very significant. Many, many songs by many bands are featured in television shows and this article isn't the place for long lists of them. At any rate, mentions of these inclusions would better belong on pages for individual songs or perhaps albums.
If you feel otherwise I am open for discussion.

If there's actually a connection between his priesthood and a pie eating contest (which I have not been able to uncover though Google searches), the connection warrants an explanation, for clarity and for the interest of the reader.

Talk:Write precompensation

message: Content moved from hard disk as per discussion on talk:hard disk. - Zephyris Talk 11:09, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not a doctor, but I thought precomp had to do with moving the position of the flux transitions on inner tracks, not changing the intensity, which I could have sworn was actually reduced on inner tracks (not increased as this stub says) -- the TG43 (track greater than 43) line is called RWC (reduced write current) in some FDC data sheets.  My vague understanding was that precomp was done because if you use the same bit rate on the shorter tracks, it means the flux reversals end up closer together, which means they have a greater effect on neighboring flux reversals (compared to outer tracks where they're farther apart) and tend to deflect the magnetic fields enough to cause problems with reading.  So my hazy vague impression was that write precomp means carefully doing things slightly early/late while writing so that the resulting flux lines are what the read circuitry expects, as if there had been no deflection.  Right???  Or something.  I can find nothing useful on the net (everyone thinks of precomp as just being a semi-meaningless BIOS parameter on older PCs) and was hoping Wikipedia could illuminate me on the actual nuts and bolts (I'm writing a SW data separator).
