Talk:Lois Brown

message: This article reads like a bio on Brown's campaign web page.  Also the article is unsourced, so far all I know that's where most of the text came from.  The whole thing needs to be reworked in a major way (probably including simply deleting a lot of the extraneous, promotional stuff like "Lois loves to jump in and give a hand at as many community and charity events as she can - whether it’s flipping burgers, manning a station or cleaning up."  Great!  We don't care.).  Probably someone with at least a little knowledge of Canadian politics would be a good candidate for making this article NPOV.--Bigtimepeace | talk |  contribs 22:03, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Mock Turtles (opera)

message: Where, I wonder, did the earlier assertion (which I have corrected) come from that the premiere was on either 15 or 17 November 1881? All the classified ads in the various papers (I have cited three but there are plenty more) for 11 October say that the first perf is "tonight". - Tim riley (talk) 08:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Walters and Low give that date in their articles on the curtain raisers, including here: https://www.gsarchive.net/companions/mock_turtles/index.html  Could the opening have been delayed after the newspaper ads were published, or is there an opening night review?  -- Ssilvers (talk) 13:27, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Walters and Low are wrong. A review of current shows in The Era, 22 October, states that Mock Turtles is running with Pinafore [Patience, see below], and the theatre ads of The Morning Post, The Standard, and The Pall Mall Gazette list it under "tonight's entertainments" for every day (except Sundays) from 11 Oct to 17 Nov and beyond. Walters and Low can't even get the name of the composer right: they have him as "Fanning" - Tim riley (talk) 15:20, 24 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Mária Telkes

message: Mária Telkes was a physical chemist who worked on solar energy research, and created the first thermoelectric power generator. The main question I want to ask is this: Why is there so little information on Mária Telkes? The only information given on this Wikipedia page is of her work, which is not very much to begin with. There is no information on her early life, family life, before she became a scientist, or how she got to be a scientist. This would be very important information to include in a person’s Wikipedia biography page because it explains how that person came to be a scientist in the first place. Therefore, it would also be very helpful information if why and when she left Hungary, and how she died were also included in her Wikipedia page. In addition, it would be great to know more on the prizes she won, such as what they were, how she got them, and when she received them. There should also be more pictures of her included in this Wikipedia page since only one is displayed. There are only three references, which is additionally alarming because she was a key scientist to open doors for women in the Physics department. There could also be an additional paragraph on how Telkes impacted both science and women in science in her particular field. Telkes deserves more admiration for her work because it is incredible research, and because she is also a woman that made it in a male-dominated field. Many students research scientists on Wikipedia to gain a better, more clear understanding of that person, and so I am sure there are students who have researched Mária Telkes but had to look elsewhere because of the lack of information. This contribution is also important to add as an ES/WGS student because I am one of these students who tried to find information on Mária Telkes, and was not very successful from Wikipedia. I chose to make this contribution because I believe Telkes deserves more recognition than she has been receiving.

Talk:George Howe, 3rd Viscount Howe

message: There seems to be an unresolved  tension in sections of this  article between Ticonderoga,  the traditional name of the action/campaign in which Howe died, and a comparitively recent movement to rename it as the 'Battle of Carillon', as exemplified by the Wikipedia article of that name 
While this is not the place to develope the unresolved debate on that subject (see 'Battle of Carillon' Talk page), the result in this article is some clumsy prose which adds little to the information on Howe's life. I propose to tidy up some of the redundancies and I shall favour the traditional name of Ticonderoga, which is the name best known in British military tradition, to which George Howe belongs.

message: This man has an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography under "Campbell, Lord Neil, of Ardmaddie (c.1630–1692), colonial speculator".

The following year he became the colony's third deputy governor. However, in 1687 he requested the council's permission to resign his position and return to Scotland, where he took up the post of governor of Dumbarton Castle, though he lived mainly at Nether Lorn, Argyll."

thread_title: Bot-created subpage

message: The present sentence reads: In 1884, he handed down what became known as the Sawyer Decision in Woodruff v. North Bloomfield Mining and Gravel Company which abruptly ended hydraulic mining in Northern California's Gold Country.
It did not "end" anything, the mining companies had to begin impounding the debris, using dams and holding structures. See Hydraulic mining article for a good description. 
I would like to change the sentence to reflect this. Here is an excerpt from the book Mining California by Andrew Isenberg, 2005 p.175-6 :
In Jan.1884, Sawyer ruled in Woodruff's favor. He declared mining debris a nuisance and perpetually enjoined miners from discharging debris into rivers (emphasis mine). Moreever, he left open the possibility that in the future, a more "safe and effective" technology might emerge, in which he would lift the injuction.  Acting on Sawyer's decision, mining companies transformed the artificial craters ... into ponds and installed steam-powered dredges...which created as much debris as hydraulic mining but was impounded at the mining site.

Talk:Léon Brillouin

message: Recent work at University of Arkansas refers to a paper by Léon Brillouin about energy from graphene and a single diode. This article does not mention that article from the 1950s, at least the word graphene does not appear. “In the 1950s, physicist Léon Brillouin published a landmark paper refuting the idea that adding a single diode, a one-way electrical gate, to a circuit is the solution to harvesting energy from Brownian motion. Knowing this, Thibado's group built their circuit with two diodes for converting AC into a direct current (DC). With the diodes in opposition allowing the current to flow both ways, they provide separate paths through the circuit, producing a pulsing DC current that performs work on a load resistor.” This is a quote from Science Daily in 2020 found here. Other sources have picked this up. My ability in this exotic physics is not up to this kind of writing. Perhaps someone can add it it. Brillouin seems a brilliant man.  - - Prairieplant (talk) 22:19, 6 April 2022 (UTC)

message: We say the King "had intended to make him a CMG".  The wording "had intended" suggests that Leake's death intervened and the award was never made.  But we show him as a "posthumous CMG", which suggests the award was made.  The "It's an Honour" reference says the award was made on 26 June 1902, two days after his death.  So, it was indeed made and it was indeed posthumous.  We need to follow "... had intended to make him a CMG" with "and made this award posthumously", otherwise it gives quite a misleading impression to a casual reader.  --  JackofOz (talk) 21:34, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
