:No. Per WP:ENGVAR, all variations of English are acceptable, but articles should be consistent. If the topic is connected to a particular variation, country, etc., then that variation of English should be used. Otherwise, we use whatever variation was established first. In this case, the topic is not connected to any particular variation, and American English was established first. McLerristarr | Mclay1 14:47, 16 August 2015 (UTC)

words like righteous and unfairly introduce a bias in the tone that is not neutral. On the other hand a bit like
The northern third was freed by Turkey in a 1974 peace operation following a coup sponsored by the military regime of Greece aiming to unite the island with greece and destroy the turkish cypriot nation. The Turkish Cypriots, freed by the Turkish Army proclaimed its independence in 1975

Template talk:Sheffield

message: The template is very large.  Is there a need for it?  If there is, perhaps one for areas of Sheffield would suffice - the list of buildings, landmarks and locations is highly arbitrary and best suited to a category. Warofdreams 11:10, 1 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: I added re-organised content from Template:Districts of Sheffield
*Basic rational - template merged was not fit for purpose, confusing to someone outside sheffield, with no indication of the type of place
*Merge rational - both templates covered "places in sheffield" -  a merged template is much more useful for finding places in template - which is the purpose
The problem with the Template:Districts of Sheffield  was that the list of places was unorganised, and lumped under the blanked term "districts" - it included links to villages, suburbs, and electoral wards. I've reorganised this a merged with this similar template - splitting the places by "village", "suburb" "parish" etc. Possibly further organisation can make it better - eg I considered "inner city suburbs", also "industrial suburbs"
*Also, at the same time I did a similar clarification on :Category:Districts of Sheffield which has similar problems with being confusing for people not familiar to sheffield -eg  I added sub cats - housing estates, villages, suburbs etc. As above this can be further improved.
Please check for mistakes. Thanks.Oranjblud (talk) 19:46, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Pleochroism

message: Question: if double refraction splits into 2 beams at 90° angles polarized, and this leads to the dichroic effect; are trichroic stones split into 3 beams at what angles?
I wonder if you misunderstood. I think the author meant the two orthagonal (ie perpendicular, 90°) polarization states see different refractive indicies and thereby split into two paths. For a given wavelength, you should only be able to split it in two.
Question: Is this description of Pleochroism accurate? As far as i know, pleochroism is not only caused by a coloured gem or crystal,but by any mineral that has pleochroic properties such as biotite. does the name gem or crystal cover all minerals? Also, from how i read this article it seems that as the stage is rotated, the colours observed change for a mineral. this is the birefringence or the orientation at which the mineral is observed at under cross polarised light. Is pleochroism not the property of varying colour intensity within a mineral when the stage is rotated in plane polarised light?
The author also makes it seem as though pleochroism is visible by the naked eye, is this not a phenomena that is only visible under a petrographic microscope? 203.160.127.213 04:04, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You can easily see pleochroism in some hand samples.  It does not necessarily occur as varying intensity, but can actually be different colors.  Birefringence, I believe, is similar but is observed only in thin section.  If someone doesn't beat me to it, I might try to expand this article with examples.

message: What common gems or minerals display Pleochroism? Fred Talk 20:17, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Russian version of this article lists Anatase, Dioptase, Kyanite, Topaz and Zircon among pleochroic minerals. But there is no valid links or any other kind of proof. This link  mentions some as well. My own expirience with pleocroism if limited to trichriosm, but due to total abscence of any other expert... The most currently known example of natural trichroism (rare 3 sided pleochroism) is Tanzanite. Despite some claims to be the only mineral (or gemstone) to exhibit such effect, it is not. However it is often considered to have the strongest trichroic effect (unheated gems especially). The oldest known example of trichroism is probably Alexandrite. It's a bit strange, but both gems (Tanzanite and Alexandrite) change color, if viewing enviroment shifts from daylight to incandescent lightning. I'm cannot be sure if this effect is related to tricroism though. Some claim it is nothing but a coinscidence. 86.57.11.214 (talk) 18:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

That should be in the led otherwise it creates the impression of a church wide list of prohibited books that applied to all Catholics everywhere and that it was enforced everywhere at all times.  
This sentence also needs citation: "the blacklisting of some Protestant scholars even when writing on subjects a modern reader would consider outside the realm of dogma meant that, unless they obtained a dispensation, obedient Catholic thinkers were denied access to works including."

It was aimed at the - frankly: still existing - large group of men with a, shall we say, less than complete education who harbour the prejudice that what they read is true, after all, it can be read in black and white, and perhaps especially if the Church doesn't like it, because it feels exciting to walk the forbidden path.
