thread_title: Dab page & split ?

message: While reading the definition of continguity, I preferred to rephrase it by reordering the same words:
The Law of Contiguity (one of Aristotle's Laws of Association) refers to the fact that things that are readily associated occur in proximity to each other in time or space. This is a somewhat different statement than the former "things that occur in proximity to each other in time or space are readily associated."
I say this because ... it is much easier to conclude or see association in "two spies met (association) on the bus (time & space/place)" than it is to conclude or see association in "two men who met on the bus are spies (or associated at all)".

Talk:Emission spectroscopy

message: Flame Emission Spectroscopy is not really Spectrum analysis because a Spectrum of the analyte atom is not measured. Each Atom has characteristic emission "Lines" in the overall emission spectrum and typically only one emission wavelength (line) is selected for concentration measurement.
In Spectrum analysis, like UV/Vis Sptrophotometery, the Absorbance Spectrum of the molecule is measured. Each molecule has a unique spectra usually measured in the UV range from 190nm to 350nm.
Atomic Spectroscopy is typically a single wavelength measurement, and is typically quantitative. Molecular spectrophotometery is typcial a range of wavelengths which are scanned for both qualitative (Spectrum Analysis),and quantitative information.

message: The Adherence level is a little old, being from 2004. NHANES has since then continued to be updated and logically someone should have produced an updated dataset. Unfortunately I have failed to find something like that so far: PMID 33802295 and 32531972 (both from MDPI, heh) come close, but the former covers preschool kids and the latter only covers a handful of nutrients.
Oh, 32531972 cites 31581561 (also MDPI, duh), which seems to cover a larger set of nutrients, but does not provide inadequacy rates not segregated by "short sleep". That's one step closer at least. Artoria2e5 🌉 15:20, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

The Harmonic number solution to this problem has nothing to do with whether or not the upper blocks are still partially over the table, but rather where the center of mass of the blocks are. And if you solve for the location of the center of mass of a stack of n blocks, you find that the given answer of H_n/2 is indeed optimal (for the one block per row version of the problem). 2620:101:F000:700:8000:0:6BA:6D0B (talk) 16:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Heron's fountain

message: I don't think it is properly understood why this stops flowing once the bottom flask has filled. More water does not go down than is fountained out.
Instead the linking air pipe makes the two flasks function as if they were level with each other. What makes the water fountain out is the difference in water-column height between the lower flask and the upper flask. 
* The column of the lower flask is from the top of the pool to the bottom of the pipe.
* The column of the upper flask is from the fountain opening to the bottom of the pipe.
If the upper flask has much more water volume than the lower flask and does not drain by the time the lower flask has filled, then the water will stop flowing once the lower flask has filled and water has risen sufficiently far up the air pipe to balance out this difference in water column height between the two flasks.
The water will not climb up the air tube to match the height of the large pool because the weight of the water column standing in the fountain pipe will prevent it from rising to pool level.
If the upper flask drains of water and the upper fountain tube fills with air, then water will climb up the air tube to match the water height in the pool and stop, since there is no longer a column of water standing in the fountain tube to prevent it from reach the pool's level.
Heh, I should ask the chemistry department if I could make a little youtube video..

thread_title:  Geysers 

message: Forgive my clumsiness at this, which is why I am not editing the original article.  What seems to me to be lacking here is a direct reference to as close to an original source citation as is possible.  I offer the link below to what purports to be "THE PNEUMATICS OF HERO OF ALEXANDRIA", FROM THE ORIGINAL GREEK, TRANSLATED FOR AND EDITED BY BENNET WOODCROFT PROFESSOR OF MACHINERY IN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON.  In this treatise, #36 is "A Satyr pouring Water from a Wine-skin into a full Washing-Basin, without making the contents overflow."  This appears to be the same device as modern versions of Heron's Fountain, giving some additional insight as to the original use with a mythical creature, and the general theme in Pneumatica of these devices being magic tricks for temples.

Talk:Visual poetry

message: Since April 2009 this article has carried a tab (which I have just refined for clarification) stating that it carried no quoted sources, only a list of references. This counts as Original Research, which is against Wikipedia policy (see WP:OR). Instead of trying to address this, every irresponsible editor since then has added their own equally unsourced opinions, and/or simply added more publications and external links without explaining in what way they were relevant to the subject. It seemed the best idea to return the article to its original state when the tab was added, with the warning that it will be recommended for deletion if it receives no sourced improvements within a reasonable time.

message: "In her survey, Concrete Poetry: A World View (1968), Mary Ellen Solt, observed that certain trends included under the label Concrete Poetry were tending towards a "New Visual Poetry".[2] Its chief characteristic is that it leaves behind the old poetic function of orality and is therefore distinct from the ancient tradition of shaped poetry from which Concrete Poetry claimed to have derived. Visual poetry, on the other hand, is to be distinguished by its deployment of typography.[3]"
^^^ the above references chapters which say no such thing. e.g. nowhere in her concluding chapters does solt claim that visual poetry is not concrete, or that visual poetry always incorporates text.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.43.76.58 (talk) 22:49, 24 May 2016 (UTC)

message: I removed the bevy of  tendentious templates (of yesterday, by 47.32.217.164), providing self-explanatory tweaks and explanations where appropriate. In the majority of the cases, the explanation of the contentious point is either in the preceding sentence or the few following the template: the reader only needs to read on. It would be quite preferable to voice these unfriendly heckling here, on this page, designed for editorial communication; rather than plastering question marks all over the article, a public document, not a forum, in increasing frustration and impatience;  or else to try to improve the wording, as the gratuitous rearrangement effort suggests intent for. 
But, ultimately, this is a quick summary of facts, not a QFT tutorial. It is highly inappropriate reading for readers unfamiliar with symmetries, Goldston'es theorem, and SSB. This is not the place to learn about them. Precise correct statements might reveal the points of interest the reader may chose to read up on, elsewhere.

Talk:Oral interpretation

message: Regarding the below, I *have* seen the textbook and the article based on it was clearly and unabashedly plagiarism.  More importantly, whoever wrote it simply repeated what was in the text without bothering to provide even a basic, common definition of the term.  Basically, there's a *lot* more to oral interpretation than just Charlotte Lee.
I have rectified both problems by completely re-writing the article from a neutral perspective, including expansion of the list of references and sources for further information.  Key to understanding any discussion of oral intepretation is the realisation it is an essential component of any performance, as well as a term of art for a particular set of performance styles.  It should also be remembered that Wikipedia is a world-wide encyclopedia, not an Ameri-centered one.  The American academic argument over the meaning of the term "oral interpretation" is thus put in its proper context as an *American* academic argument.  Outside of the United States, there simply is no controversy over whether "oral interpretation" and "acting" are or are not different names for the same thing.  The argument only happens in American academia; and even then only in certain arenas of American academia.  172.194.141.26 20:59, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
