Talk:Brickhouse Betty

message: the tone seems fine to me:
Tone
Shortcut:
WP:TONE
Wikipedia articles, and other encyclopedic content, should be written in a formal tone. Standards for formal tone vary depending upon the subject matter, but should follow the style used by reliable sources, while remaining understandable to the educated layman. Formal tone does not mean the article should be written using unintelligible argot, doublespeak, legalese, or jargon; it means that the English language should be used in a businesslike manner.
i think people are likely to object to the content, or notability.  Why this internet cartoon character, and not others?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.168.1.60 (talk) 16:06, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Cold finger

message: Can I just ask how the cold finger shown in the photo works (Image:Cold_finger_1.jpg)? 
It looks like you have an all in one piece apparatus. I note it has a ground glass joint which to attach to another vessel, however, it seems that the vacuum would only serve to insulate the finger from the 'outside vessel'? 
If it is indeed a 'all in one piece apparatus' for use in sublimation I can't see how it will easily work, i.e. how do you get a solid into it, and then back out - I hope not through the stop-cock? Am I being dim? Quantockgoblin 17:26, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As you correctly noted, there is a size 24 ground glass joint here. You fit the cold finger to another RBF, Schlenk flask or Schlenk tube, immerse in an oil bath or sand bath, and crank up the heat. The vacuum sidearm is for when you are subliming stuff from a plain old RBF which does not have a sidearm of its own. --Rifleman 82 17:39, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I guess I can't see the hole (obviously not in the cooling system) running from the vacuum tap to where the RBF would be attached. I presume there is one? -- Quantockgoblin 17:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I am being dim after all - the vacuum system does not encase the cold finger at all - the image is a bit blurry, and I think the shadows tricked the eyes into thinking there was another glass wall surrounding the cold finger. -- Quantockgoblin 17:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Henriette-Julie de Murat

message: Someone had helpfully placed the stub in this category, based no doubt on the common misconception that fairy tales are primarily children's fare (no snippy tone intended, seriously), but I have removed the designation because Murat was most definitely not a children's writer.

message: The provincial election articles are currently a bit messy, with no consistent style or formatting for the results tables. I am planning to format them all using the same results table that is used for the National Assembly results tables (i.e. this). This excludes the "independents joined" column that appears in a few provincial election articles – I think it is unclear to readers what this means (this is quite a Pakistan-specific thing), it gives a misleading impression that parties won more seats than they did, and I think it makes the tables a bit of a mess. When there are cases of independents joining parties after the elections, this should be mentioned in the prose instead (as is done for National Assembly articles). Hopefully this isn't controversial. Cheers, Number 57 03:15, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Electronics Illustrated

message: Works copyrighted before 1964 had to have the copyright renewed sometime in the 28th year. If the copyright was not renewed the work is in the public domain. It is best to search 6 months before and after the required year. Some magazines are published the month before the cover date and some registrations may be delayed for a few months.
Electronics Illustrated was published starting in 1958 and the first renewal was be due in 1985. The renewal for the May 1958 issues was registered by the Copyright Office on January 3, 1986. (Registration Number RE0000280507). These records are online catalog found here: http://www.copyright.gov/records . Search for the title Electronics Illustrated.
The copyrights of Electronics Illustrated May 1958 through February 1960 were renewed by CBS Inc. In December 1987 the copyrights were assigned to Diamandis Communications, Inc. Diamandis renewed March 1960 through February 1961. 
In the early 1980s the copyrights were owned by CBS and ever year someone renewed the 27 year old issues. In October 1987 Diamandis Communications did a leveraged butout of the CBS magazine division for $680 million. To reduce the debt they sold 7 magazines for $243 million. There was still someone sending in the copyright renewals. In April 1988, Hachette paid $712 million for Diamandis Communications. The last copyright renewal was that April. Peter Diamandis made millions. I assume the person who sent in the copyright renewals was looking for other work.

Talk:Tom Bower

message: Mr. Bower's first two books were and are classics of the WWII era events.
"Blind Eye to Murder" is deeply researched tale of failure, fraud and deceit of the Allies dealings with the German murderers after
WWII. The Allies allowed their prejudices and bigotry to override their own clearly expressed goal of capturing, trying and punishing the Nazis leaders, and the underlings who did the killing.
It is a book you all should read. Even today our US Govt. is deceiving its citizens and its also apparent the UK Govt. is NO different.
"Klaus Barbie: the Butcher of Lyon" is a compelling portrait of a diseased human given the power of life or death over a conquered population. Barbie, a Gestapo officer, relentlessly pursued the soldiers of the French Résistance, killing and torturing at will. The appellation "the Butcher" was well and truly earned. The US CIC in postwar Germany, hired and paid this murderer to work for us and protected Barbie from French courts and assisted his escape from justice to South America.
Two fine books that only merit a listing in Bower's publishing history? Poor!

Talk:Dunkery Hill

message: The following passage may help to clarify the acquisition of the land by the National Trust. According to the "Dunkery Beacon", Western Times, 4 October 1935, p. 7:
"The properties came to the Trust first in 1918, through a large part of the Holnicote Estate, leased to them by the late Sir Thomas Acland, for 500 years. In 1932, that Beacon, with 960 acres of land round it, was given by Colonel Wiggin. Last year the acquisition was completed by the gift by Mrs. Allan Hughes of 945 acres close to the Beacon. In the terms of the Act of Parliament, under which the National Trust carried on its duties, all these properties were vested in the Trust for the benefit of the nation and were inalienable." 
The article also explicitly states that Mrs Hughes was the wife of the late Alan Highes of Lynch Allerford, Minehead, and that the colonel was Colonel W. W. Wiggin. Regards, —Noswall59 (talk) 11:40, 15 May 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Not quite a mountain 

message: Ordnance Survey are responsible for measuring. They have stated that the height is 621 metres (on 1:50000 scale mapping, more precisely 620.9 metres in their data set) not 620. This article says the two different heights in two different places. The height that OS state is for the natural surface of the mountain, not the top of the trig point - the height is recorded at the reference mark inside the base of the trig point, not the brass plate on the top. The true height of the mountain should therefore be 621 metres, not 620. TarquinWJ (talk) 11:52, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
