Talk:Dick Blakeslee

message: The notability of this individual might be dubious. Most reliable sources only give a passing mention of Dick Blakeslee without saying anything other than that he wrote the song 'Passing Through'. Here are the few good sources I found:
# From this academic book about antiwar songs and music: https://books.google.com/books?id=vwzvCgAAQBAJ&pg=PA40&dq=Dick+Blakeslee&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiI7ruehrXpAhXNJTQIHR7sDj0Q6AEILjAB#v=onepage&q=Dick%20Blakeslee&f=false

There are a few sources but they say nothing more than name him. I wasn't able to find any reliable or significant information of him with a general google search and looking at some news or music sites. There might be something out there but so far the results don't look great. I will place a notability template for the article so this issue can hopefully be resolved in the near future.--SlackingViceroy (talk) 04:48, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Circuitlogix

message: I noticed that you have identified my submission for Circuit Logix as being non-compliant.  I apologize if the article has appeared to be promoting a commercial product, because that was certainly not my intention and Circuit Logix is not a commercial product.  It is a free learning resource intended for electronics students.  The information regarding Circuit Logix is entirely for the purpose of enlightening readers about a revolutionary approach to electronics circuit simulation that has enabled electronics students around the world to access a free laboratory simulator.  This process has proven to be highly beneficial to students and is a major benefit to learning a complex subject.

message: When most people think of Moonta, they would consider its surrounding "suburbs" as well, as part of the continguous area of Moonta, which is why I changed the population to be for the "urban centre and locality" (UCL) rather than just the suburb. The wiki entry for Kadina reflects this, as for any other SA town and city with suburbs that I can think of (including Adelaide). The population for "Moonta" includes two of those adjacent suburbs anyway, because of how the Australian Bureau of Statistics defines its statistical areas. For consistency I would suggest the population should reflect that for the ABS's defined UCL rather than state suburb Lukeoz (talk) 02:08, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

text: As you mentioned, some devices other than the ADS have been occasionally called "Microwave Guns."

text: Mac Davis, the problem is that there is no such thing as a "microwave gun."  I suppose it would be "a thing which shoots microwaves," ...so the closest thing would be a microwave-frequency amplifier or resonator (such as a TWT or klystron.  Incidentally, one such device is used in the Active Denial System.  But you have self-identified the problem with this article - there is not a widespread scientific usage of the term "microwave gun."  Nimur 18:10, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Friction (English musician)

message: From what I can tell, Friction's first release on a label was "Cryogenix / Movement" on Trouble on Vinyl in 1998, along with Nu Balance.
http://www.discogs.com/DJ-Friction-Nu-Balance-Cryogenix-Movement/release/28481
So I can see two errors in this article at the moment:
*The "years active" field shows "1999" onwards. It should be "1998"
*The bio mentions his "debut" being "Critical Mass" in 1999. Obviously the TOV 12" came a year before that, so Critical Mass wasn't the debut (N.B. it might have been assumed that "Kinetix" was just an early DJ Friction alias, justifying Critical Mass as his SOLO debut. But Kinetix also included Stakka of Stakka & Skynet, so if anything his group debut was the aforementioned TOV single)
If anyone rewrites the bio to bring it up to date, they might consider integrating these changes.

replies: text: The episode doesn't appear on Amazon.com's listing for the Playmakers DVD either. Very strange. I would guess that it was an episode that was put into production but never aired, but IMDB claims that it did air (even giving an air date), and it's also strange that such an episode wasn't added to the DVD, as unaired but produced eps often are for shows that suffer from early cancellation. If someone could clarify what the deal is with that episode, that would be great. —Lowellian (reply) 02:37, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Tomasz Misiak

message: Dear Wikipedia Editors,
I am writing from Poland to express concerns regarding the Wikipedia page associated with Mr. Misiak. It has come to my attention that the content currently published may be significantly influenced by individuals openly in conflict with Mr. Misiak. I suspect that the contributions might even be coordinated with or influenced by Mr. Misiak's wife. The information, as it stands, appears to be predominantly inaccurate or misleading.
I had previously made edits to this page, aiming to correct the misrepresented facts with information supported by public sources. Unfortunately, my changes were reverted, which I believe undermines the integrity and purpose of Wikipedia as a platform for factual and unbiased information.
In light of this, I respectfully suggest a reevaluation of the edits I submitted last month. The objective is to ensure that the page reflects accurate information and does not serve as a medium for defamation. Upholding the principles of veracity and neutrality is paramount, and I trust that the Wikipedia community shares these values.
Thank you for considering my recommendation and for your ongoing commitment to maintaining the reliability of Wikipedia.
Sincerely,
