message: I was wandering about above Calgary (courtesy of Google Earth) looking for whatever remains of Currie Field and was surprised to see that it has been wiped from the face of the Earth. The only remnant that I could find is the Military Museum. My interest is that I flew from RCAF Currie Field in 1952/53 when it was not only a large RCAF base but also the home of Princess Patricia's Light Infantry. We had North American T-6 Harvards, Beechcraft C-45 Expeditors and an erratic selection of other aircraft types. A maintenance facility on one side of the field overhauled and repaired many different military aircraft types including C-47 Dakotas, Avro Lancasters, Consolidated PBY Catalina amphibians and even a few Grumman Avengers belonging to the RCN. Currie Field was scheduled to close and transfer operations to Edmonton during the winter of 1952 but after we had consumed all the stock in the bar of the Officers' Mess in preparation for closure we got the news that the newly laid runway at Edmonton had cracked and our move was cancelled. We had to reattach one wall to the Officers' Mess that had become accidentally detached during a "Farewell" party and wait for a resupply of alcohol from the Government Liquor Store in Calgary. I was posted out in March 1953 so never moved to Edmonton. Currie Field in 1952 was beyond the outskirts of Calgary right at the end of the paved roadway. There was a place at the end of the road called The Red Barn where it was possible to hire a horse rather than walk. The Sarcee Indian Reservation began at the edge of the airfield and from there to Banff was open country. Work on the Trans-Canada Highway had just begun but there was no east-west roadway across Canada and it was necessary to drive south into the States if one wished to drive east or west from Calgary. Looks as if things have changed in the past 55 years! John Stewart-Smith www.johnstewartsmith@btinternet.com 86.162.191.103 (talk) 09:26, 15 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Kammel Kalamak

message: Would like to know about track 8: "Betkhabby Leih" (Arabic: بتخبي ليه, English: Why You're Hiding?) – 4:07
Why is "Why You're Hiding?" better than "Why Are You Hiding?". I think the second makes more sense grammatically, unless it is actually not a question, and we are questioning if the translation is 100% correct with that question mark.--Tatsh 01:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As "Betkhabby Leih" has an absent Pronoun, as we say in Arabic "Dameer", I think using a shorter translation in English would be more convinient. But you're absolutely right, you can change it back if you want to. --Omernos 03:09, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Annam

message: Annam as a name of Vietnam (or of its central region) appears to be by far more common than the other uses on the list, so I would suggest making that the primary topic. Kauffner (talk) 15:26, 25 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Primary topic

message: Regarding the supposed Dab entry
: * Annam (food), annam is the generic Sanskrit word for "food", such as the food made for Prithu
it satisfies the logic of the one-red-and-one-blue-link exception to "exactly one link, which must be blue, per Dab entry", and
i found, by following Prithu#cite note-3, this footnote: 
: The Vedas use the Sanskrit word annam meaning generic "food-stuffs". "Annam" . Bhaktivedanta VedaBase Network. Archived  from the original on 24 June 2010.
(It has links interested colleagues could follow.) Recall however not only that WP is an encyclopedia (a facility for info that is beyond the scope of lexicography), but also that Dabs exist in it with the specific purpose of locating for users the encyclopedic (i.e., encyclopedia-worthy) information that made them bother using WP to research annam or Prithu.    Even the information provided by its footnote is inadequate to turn the Prithu article into a source of encyclopedic info on that sense of "Annam"; rather, that would require content about e.g. the rituals and symbology of annam practices in the veneration of Prithu.--Jerzy•t 19:03, 21 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge from [[Relationship between latency and throughput]] 

message: At the top of the "Web surfing" section, it is claimed that "Users browsing the Internet feel that responses are 'instant' when delays are less than 100 ms from click to response", and this paper by Robert B. Miller is cited: "Response time in man-computer conversational transactions".  However, the paper makes no such claim.  First of all, it is from 1968 and does not focus on interaction with a network specifically, only with computer systems in general.  Secondly, the paper does not deal with perceptual thresholds, but with appropriate response times with respect to human concentration on a task.  Finally, none of the response times it describes are in the 100ms range apart from basic UI events, such as the response of a graphical display to a key click or the motion of a light pen.  A two-second threshold is typically recommended for information-retrieval events, which is the category that Web browsing might have fallen under, had it existed at the time.  Interesting old paper, but what's up with this citation?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Joshsh (talk • contribs) 22:38, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Carbon audit regime

message: The term carbon neutral redirects here, but it really should have its own article describing what carbon neutrality is, or in the very least redirect to carbon offset.  It would be extremely confusing for anyone trying to find out what carbon neutrality is.  And for that matter, there needs to be a carbon negative article.  (Carbon negative would, I imagine, be defined as the long term or permanent sequestering of carbon produced from the emissions of carbon neutral or nearly carbon neutral energy sources.  The sequestering of flue gases obtained by burning carbon neutral biomass is one such example.  The point is the net carbon release is negative, not just neutral.)
:Fixed redirect. As for carbon negative. I've never heard of the term, and if it's not a normally used term, I don't think we should include it in wikipedia either.Jens Nielsen 07:26, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Islam:The Muslim Guild/Articles

message: I've noticed a rather extreme and deliberate effort by a group of editors (and a few administrators) to promote a negative image of Islam. Several articles are weighed down with highly partisan sources from known Islamophobes, without any effort to maintain neutrality by balancing perspectives with opposing ones. Articles relating to Islam and Muslims, directly or indirectly, have been systematically subject to these group attacks. I'd advise people to look at the following articles for now and participate in editing to bring them into balance. Feel free to add more articles to this list: 
* Criticism of Islam
* Hamas (with regards to the context in which Hamas formed, ie the occupation and refugee crisis)
* Dhimmi
* Islam and anti-Semitism
* Zionism
* Islamophobia
* Islam in the United States
It should be noted that all editors should maintain the spirit of NPOV. I am merely urging people to use their knowlege of Islam, and of subject matters where Islam or Muslims are involved, to make articles reflect an academically and intellectually credible quality. In my opinion, the articles right now are loaded with information deliberately placed to present Muslims and Islam in the most negative possible light. This request isn't just directed towards Muslims, but to anyone interested in making articles on these subjects truly neutral in their portrayal of the matter. Amibidhrohi 01:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Churches in Philadelphia

message: Will a naming convention such as "church name, city" be good?
Neither other cities (New York, Chicago, and London) or Wikipedia Policies on Wikipedia:Naming_conventions have direction on this.
# Should a naming convention be established for churches?
# What should the naming convention be?
*In the case of Postmaster General they just use their names because they are fairly unique (only 3 exceptions out of 75).
*"Main Street" is a more common term. In this case a disambiguation page was created, but I don't think we should create a disambiguation page for almost every church (e.g. St._Andrew%27s_Church).
Recommendation: Since a lot of churches in different cities have the same name it is recommended that the city be mentioned in the church name. (e.g St. Augustine Church%2C Philadelphia)
 Exceptions:
# if a church is well known in most of the English speaking world by one name (St._Peter's_Basilica, Rome, or St_Paul%27s_Cathedral, London).
# if a church has such a unique name it is unlikely to be mistaken for a church in another city (Tenth Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. 19 of the first 20 Google results were for the Tenth Presbyterian Church located in Philadelphia. The one exception was clearly titled Zionsville Presbyterian Church and was probably an error.)

message: This article is ill-conceived and I'm not sure it can be rescued. Striver left out a whole branch of Islam, the Ibadis. They aren't numerous, but they shouldn't be left out. Also, I don't think that there's any end to the list. Any scholar can make a list of hadith he (it's always he, dang it) regards as reliable. Some scholars have been more influential than others, and some collections have achieved semi-canonical status in some traditions, But well-known shades only gradually into completely obscure.

Please, make me a favour. before reverting my hard work, take a moment to read the texts that I linked from my user page. I'm not putting my personal opinion here, because i don't have any. Some of you really seem to be unaware of the most important issue in an encyclopedia: articles must be logically interconnected and not inconsistent. Now, we have dozens of well written articles on popular music genres and subgenres, but they just miss a bit of logic in definition. I'm trying to fix it. Please do not forget that slang is a bit different from official language. You cant come here and say prink-prank-dumb-whazzup-m8. Does that get into your brains? I'm only trying to make all these articles suitable for the next WP CD. Being an eclectic, that means that I love all music, I can give a neutral contribution. I can change my mind at any moment, but please let me begin my work. Do you have a better term that includes all the music genres that are played in nightclubs? This term may even be House, Techno, or whatever is reached here by consensus, I don't really care. For now I'm working on club music, it seems a good idea. Brian W 01:35, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
