thread_title:  Mohini 

message: Greetings Wikipedians! I know little about Hinduism, but the sentence "One of the most influenced Hindu reform-era figure became shakta-universalist Ramakrishna, for whom all were the same Mother Goddess." is very confusing to me. The grammar and syntax are wrong but I don't know enough about the subject to fix it.  Was Ramakrishna influenced by something, or influential in something? I suspect that the sentence is supposed to say "Shakta-universalist Sri Ramakrishna, one of the most influential figures of the  Hindu reform era, believed that all Hindu goddesses are the same Mother Goddess." If I'm mistaken, please feel free to correct my edit. Cordially, BuzzWeiser196 (talk) 12:34, 2 August 2021 (UTC)

message: This is rather minor but the devanagari at the top doesn't have a visarga, presumably because the aim was to quote it in dictionary form. Conversely, the IAST does. Might it be a good idea to delete the 'h' with a dot under it from the IAST to make it exactly consistent with the devanagari?

thread_title: Nocturnal

message: The information in this article needs to be verified against better sources.  The Australian Museum "Book of Australian Mammals" states that the Eastern Grey Kangaroo is bigger than the Red Kangaroo.  Kangaroos are generally crepuscular (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepuscular) when they feed but may be active at any time of the day or night.  They are often killed at dawn or dusk on roadsides because visibility is poorest at that time and they are attracted to the cut grass on the edges of the roads.  They generally rest during the day in shade near a water source where possible.

Talk:Eastern hare-wallaby

message: I expanded the article, using mostly Flannery, Gould, Lyddeker and Harpich as refereces. Yes, I'm aware that aside from Flennery's short description in "Gap in Nature" these are old sources, but this shouldn't make that much of a difference since this species is sadly extinct since the 1890s. The sources of this species are limited and I don't think there is much left to be added, however there may be something in the more recent publications.

Talk:The Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cubas

message: The posthumous diaries of Bras Cubas, know in English as the Epitaph of a Small Winner, is a novel so far ahead of its time as to suprise many a reader, who, expecting the mannered and rational realism of a nineteenth century social satire, finds employed elegant and surreal devices of metaphor and construction such as might have please a magical realist of the twentieth century, and the witty narrative self-conciousness of a diciple of Nabakov.
The narrator inhabits a ominsicient but inert death, from which, with geat irony and humour, but not a little tenderness, he looks back upon his life, exposing the arbitrary and the ridiculous in a climate he describes as suitable for "The alarmingly rapid growth of ideas". His urbane and conversational style will amuse the reader, his exposition of the mores, caprices and pretensions of late nineteenth century Brazilian society will convince the reader that suprisingly little has changed, for all of the passage of a century and several thousand miles.
And it may be worth further encouraging any tempted by the above by pointing out that you are unlikely to survive more than a couple of sentences without a deep belly laugh, and an accompanying, satisfying, jolt of neurons stimulated by the elegant and unexpected combination of ridiculous ideas and the resultant sense of a sudden, epiphanic glimpse of the absurd truth.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 164.143.240.33 (talk) 16:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Ivor Catt/Archive 10

message: Catt and Walton have different views on this.  By email in 2000, Catt stated it was a shame that "TEM wave" had disappeared from textbooks, then Walton (Catt's co-author of some articles and a book in 1979) stated he didn't believe electricity is a TEM wave, because there is no wave in a computer logic step!  It is just a constant voltage pulse.  (However, there is a variation at the front, which is vital to the Catt anomaly/question.)  Heaviside's own view of 1893 in "Electrical Theory vol. 1" is entirely consistent with my point of view and with modern quantum electrodynamics: the step is driven forward because of radiation.  Heaviside said of conventional theory (current causing field): "We reverse this; the current in the wire is set up by the energy transmitted through the medium around it ..."

replies: text: You say the step is driven forward because of radiation. What is a TEM wave if not radiation?--Light current 23:55, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

text: Can charge carriers accelerate this fast? Or are you talking about 'abstract charge' that needs no carriers? I think you must be. This abstract charge, though, is part and parcel of the electromagnetic wave - nothing to do with conductors. If it was then em radiation could not flow in vacuo. Surely all your convoluted explanation can be replaced by considering the step as an range of sinusoidal frequencies extending to infinity and then applying Maxwells eequations to each component separately. There is no need to treat the step (or ramp if you like) as some sort of magical, mysical entity that defies normal analysis- its not. The only thing that exists at the wave front (and behind actually) is em energy travelling along the line. End of story.--Light current 02:09, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

It's just that the evidence isn't strong enough to overturn current phylogeny.
Many authorities believe it is sufficiently distinct to be more properly raised to a separate superfamily within the Diprotodontia, or perhaps even further. It is thought to be the sole survivor of an otherwise long-extinct marsupial group.
