Talk:Yusuf ibn Tashfin

message: I reverted the anonymous edit of Tashfine as black, deleting the ident as Berber. The Black ident may be right, or not. I do not know of anything attesting to Tashfine's skin colour nor perceived "race"; however it is well attested that he was Berber, ergo the current version should stand.

thread_title:  Birth Date 

message: Hello everyone,
I am new to working with Wikipedia so please bear with me as I point out some of the issues I am seeing with this article.
Firstly, for many facts there are no references at all. For example, it is written that "Yusuf went on to live to 100 years old." Not only is there no reference for this, but it also contradicts the information in the infobox, according to which Yusuf lived to be 97 years old (and there is no reference for that, either). The "Legacy" section has no references at all. 
Secondly, some of the text in this article is opinionated and not written in encyclopedic style. Again, for example, in the "Legacy" section we have the following: "While Yusef was the most honorable of Muslim rulers, he spoke Arabic poorly." Not only does this not read well in an encyclopedia article, but the relevance of this information to the topic and especially the other information in this section is questionable. 
I hope we can pay attention to these issues, and would love to hear your feedback. Hassamm (talk) 21:52, 16 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Ali ibn Yusuf

message: Almoravid is, overwhelmingly, the form used by English-language historians, and as such is the appropriate form to use in Wikipedia.  A look at Google Books shows almost 1000 examples of Almoravid, while the alternative that keeps being substituted, Al-Murabitoon, appears twice, just twice, and both of them refer to the modern movement and not the medieval one. Thus that form is both an innovation with respect to the medieval dynasty, and it begs confusion with a completely distinct group.  As such, there is simply no justification for its use.  It doesn't matter if Al-Murabitoon is a more accurate transliteration of the original Arabic.  This is not Arabic Wikipedia.  We call Moscow Moscow, not Moskva. We don't call Switzerland Helvetia or Schwyz, and we don't call Greece Ellada.  It is not about simple transcription, but the commonly used form in the English language, and there is a long history of calling them Almoravid(s). In editing an article, the goal is to reflect usage, not to improve usage. Agricolae (talk) 00:23, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:In-phase and quadrature components

message: One thing I was hoping this article would answer for me as a reader is why the 90 deg out of phase component is called the quadrature phase? What is the relation between 90 deg out of phase and quadrature. the only thing that comes to my mind is that the two components span a two-dimensional parameter space (the complex plane) and a quadrature relates to squaring, which you do to get an area in two dimensions... -- Slaunger (talk) 14:43, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Why the term quadrature 

message: I suggest that this article should be made more general, under this or a revised heading. I found this definition using a search engine:
Quadrature (electricity). "A vector representing an alternating quantity which is in quadrature (at 90°) with some reference vector. reactive component." []
As an example we could say something like:
e.g. the alternating current in a pure reactance (inductor or capacitor) is in phase quadrature (lagging or leading respectively) the applied alternating voltage.
Or something. Any suggestions? GilesW (talk) 22:52, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

message: The new intro (Oct 22) is an improvement, for EE circuit folks, but it is too EE-ish, too remedial in places, unsourced, and for its tedious length, it doesn't shed much light on the reasons for IQ.

message: Now that this page is not so wide, it probably should be merged with "List of elements by atomic number".  However, I think that this page should probably serve as the 'base' since it holds more information.
I'll update the atomic masses on this page to those on "List of elements by atomic number" because those on the other page look more accurate.  Then we can add the period/group (perhaps as just one entry maybe seperated by a comma to save space).  Finally, we can add the colouration that exists in "List of elements by atomic number", followed by replacing that page with this one, and making this one a redirect.

The performance difference is the reason the linked PDF states they are not interchangeable -- changing from one to another will change how the design performs.

text: Actually the origin of the mini-controversy about the name is that the Air Force did not exist as a separate service branch during WWII, when the AN fitting specifications were developed.  Since the concern was the suitability and reliance on these fittings in aircraft, the parts of the service mostly engaged in flying, the Navy and the Air Force, were the main participants in developing the AN specifications.  But the Air Force was part of the Army.  Technically it was the Army Air Corps.  So it is correct, really, to call AN either Army-Navy or Air Corps-Navy, or, colloquially, Air Force-Navy. 68.106.198.98 (talk) 03:53, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
