Talk:Kõpu Lighthouse

message: The article described the shape of the lighthouse in 2 locations: prose ("Kõpu Lighthouse is shaped as a tetrahedral prism, with massive counterforts...") and infobox ("Rectangular on a tetrahedral prism"). The "tetrahedral prism" was changed to "square prism", based on what I've seen in the pictures and in real life, but was unsourced though. Was the original description from any of the sources? If so, I'd like to know what was the wording there (in Estonian), if possible. If it was not, then I'd suggest changing the infobox description to "Square prism with counterforts"? —Quibik (talk) 21:56, 11 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shape of the lighthouse 

message: I am working in Estonian Maritime Administration managing the lighthouse and I asked from my colleagues about the "radar lighthouse" replacing Kõpu lighthouse now. No one had the slightest idea what could be meant with that statement in Neil Taylor's travel guide saying that "only in 1997 did it lose this role when radar from the smaller lighthouse at Ristna took over". (I sent a question about the source of that information to the publisher but have not got any answer yet.) Kõpu lighthouse is as active lighthouse as always. In the beginning of this year it just got a brand new light source (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q6R3XB3lMxY, https://veeteedeamet.ee/et/uudised/kopu-tuletorni-ainulaadne-tuli-sarab-nuud-veelgi-eredamalt).P2rtel (talk) 10:59, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello P2rtel, this is a beautiful article. The history of technology from unlit tower to the current LED illumination is fascinating. The statement in the travel guide may be nothing more than a misunderstanding of technology.  Appreciating the size of the structure with no familiar objects in view is difficult. Can you add any photos with humans present? That would allow a sense of scale. Regards, ... PeterEasthope (talk) 15:08, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Are Jack Frost and Frosty The Snowman one in the same? 

message: This article seems to confuse folklore and modern children's literature.  I have found no evidence that Jack Frost was thought of as a "sprite" or anything like that before about 1900.
If you read, for example, Jack Frost, or, God's finger in the winter by Ina Hervey (1870) , you'll see that the phrase Jack Frost is pretty much synonymous with "cold winter weather".  There is no characterization of him as a "sprite" or a "mischief-maker".  The child in the story does race with Jack Frost and Mr. Wind, but those characters are clearly simply personifications, with no other attributes. It seems to be Frank Baum who introduces Jack Frost as a sprite who actually has a personality and talks.
Can anyone find evidence of a "Jack Frost" in English and American folklore as the article claims?  I couldn't. --Macrakis (talk) 19:09, 23 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Does anyone think adding this would be useful? Karl Jenkins has a compilation of his choral works for Christmas which he called Stella Natalis. One of the pieces is called Wintertide. It's a "shivery" song. It's great fun, and challenging chorally. I think it deserves to be added to the list under Music.

      Jack Frost will now lie in wait

Talk:Rail Infrastructure Corporation

message: This is incorrect:
In 2001, the State Rail Authority had its 'above track' operations separated from its track ownership and maintenance operations. The track maintenance operations and track ownership were moved to a newly created Rail Infrastructure Corporation (RIC)
State Rail was split into four separate entities well before that following a report by Mercer Management Consulting in the early 1990's.  
FreightCorp was split off as a state owned corporation, and later privatised by selling it to National Rail Corp.
RAC (Rail Access Corporation) was established as a new SOC (state owned corporation) and it took over the track ownership and train control functions in the country areas.
RSA (Rail Services Australia) was setup to take care of all the track maintenance.
State Rail continued on, owning the stations, the land, the passenger trains and the train maintenance depots.
As the track owner, RAC initially entered into contracts with RSA for the provision of maintenance services for the rail infrastructure.  As time passed, RAC started to hold open tenders for maintenance services, which saw work starting to pass to the private sector.  The idea was to drive RSA to lower its costs and increase efficiencies by having to compete with the private sector.  If RSA couldn't lower its costs enough, it would lose more and more work until it ceased to exist.  After major protests by the unions to the Labor government, RAC was instructed to stop tendering this work out, which largely undermined the reason for RAC existing.
RAC was also responsible for negotiating train access contracts with all the train operators, like CityRail, Pacific National and other private freight operators.  RAC levied an access charge every time a train moved across the network, the idea being to create a level playing field between public and private rail operators.
In 2001, RAC and RSA were merged to form RIC (Rail Infrastructure Corp).  RailCorp was then formed in 2004.  Many staff from RIC and State Rail were transfered to RailCorp, but RIC was never merged into RailCorp.  It remained as a separate company where certain discontinued functions could be "warehoused" until RIC was disbanded and shutdown.  RIC should be shutdown in the next year or so.

Talk:Man's Ruin Records discography

message: I saw that few releases were combined in the listing so that the catalog number for vinyl and CD releases are identical, which is not what Man's Ruin did.

Talk:Italian dressing

message: In this sentence there is an error: North American-style Italian dressing is unknown in Italy, where salad is normally dressed with olive oil, vinegar, salt, and black pepper at table, and not with a pre-mixed vinaigrette. Black pepper is almost never used to dress salad in Italy. --TheLoneTraveller (talk) 10:59, 17 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm.  Waverly Root, The Food of Italy, p. 642: "Insalata siciliana [has] the standard salad dressing of olive oil, wine vinegar, salt and pepper."  In looking over various Italian cookbooks, I see that though many salads are dressed without pepper, many others (especially composed salads) do include pepper.  Oil, vinegar, and salt are certainly more 'central' than pepper, though. --Macrakis (talk) 16:11, 17 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Microvesicle

message: The distinction between exosomes and microvesicles seems muddy even in literature, but it should be explained and justified even if it seems increasingly likely that they are the same thing.Cyrux (talk) 20:24, 23 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Incredibly muddled, you're right. But there is a distinction, even if the nomenclature (or its usage) doesn't always represent it correctly. Exosomes are released into internal compartments, then into the extracellular environment when the compartments fuse with the plasma membrane. Microvesicles derive directly from the plasma membrane. Exosomes are about 30-150 nM in diameter; microvesicles are around 80 nM and up, so there is some size overlap. Both are subsets of "microparticles." SpectraValor (talk) 22:43, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Relationship with exosomes 

message: As far as I can tell from reading these two articles,
microvesicles are the same thing as circulating microvesicles.
So I suggest merging them into the more general-sounding article,
"microvesicles".
--DavidCary (talk) 02:28, 8 May 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I support the proposed merger. I would also suggest "extracellular vesicle" as a higher level article that would include microvesicle and exosome.

Talk:Estonian orthography

message: Google gives 45,700 hits for Estonian texts using 'shokolaad'.
Official form, 'šokolaad' has only  37,100 hits.
So I think it is worth mentioning that many Estonians do not use letters like š and 
ž at all. Some even think these letters are symbols of Russian occupation.Warbola (talk) 20:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Is this based on anything else besides a google search? If not, then there are two problems. Firstly, the information could considered as original research which in turn constitutes several other problems. Secondly, the sentence in the article merely implies that this is the case only with texts in digital form. As it might a useful bit of information about the language then it would be good to keep with a mention to its possibly unverified and limited nature. MarkkuP (talk) 11:20, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

text: There's a simple reason for that - even some intermediate users simply don't know how to input š & ž on their keyboards, which isn't surprising, given how little use those find in the languague. The situation with 'sh' replacing 'š' in such cases is similar to German-speakers (and, indeed Estonians) reverting to using 'ae', 'oe' and 'ue' instead of 'ä', 'ö' and 'ü', respectively, when presented with an input method lacking umlauts.  It is in no way indicative of a general shift in written languague use. 87.119.180.169 (talk) 01:17, 13 August 2011 (UTC)
