message: "An Xbox version was announced very early on, but never materialized. In April 2006, an Xbox 360 version was announced. The Xbox 360 version of the game was to be published by THQ. However, THQ announced they will no longer be working together with Simbin on the title. A new publisher for the Xbox 360 version has not been announced."
OK, I think it's pretty safe to say that this will have been scrapped now, and what was left of the project will be incorperated into "RACE Pro", which is apparently coming out of the 360 in 2009. 79.66.12.185 (talk) 20:55, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  significant error in definition of Significant Wave Height 

message: Using some basic physics.
Velocity:
A moving object has the energy E=1/2*m*v^2, therefore, a wave's energy is proportional to its period squared.
Well, this is true for a single particle of water. When one adds up the energy of all the particles in the water column, the particles near the top are more important, and the particles at larger depths are only influenced by the larger periods. The end result is that, when averaged over a wave period, the kinetic energy ends up being INDEPENDENT of the wave period, and is simply equal to the potential energy, i.e. the density rho times the gravity g times the variance of the sea surface elevation. In the case of waves with a single period this is rho*g*a^2/4 for the mean kinetic energy per unit surface.

Talk:Jinfei

message: Thank you for the interesting article.  Trying to correct the English, I have the following questions:
- Soon after Lady Tatala entered the Forbidden City, she was married to the emperor?  Or soon after 1888 she was married to the emperor?  I believe it is the former.
- When the imperial court returned to Beijing in 1902, had the Qing dynasty already lost its influence?  Or did it lose influence after it moved?
-  When Puyi was named emperor, the former concubines of the previous emperors officially became his adoptive mothers.  Is that right?
-  I assume abdiction is supposed to be abdication.  So, in 1912 Longyu must have signed a declaration of abdication, right?  To whom did she abdicate power?  Or was it simply a relinquishment of power?
-  Was Longyu's title "Empress Dowager Longyu?"  Or was her title simply "Dowager Longyu?"  The difference determines the correct capitalization.
-  In 1913, Jinfei's title became "DuanKang Dowager Concubine?"  Or would it be more appropriately "Dowager Concubine Duankang?"  Or was her title simply "DuanKang?"  In either case, capitalizing the beginning of the second character is nonstandard, I think.  I believe Duankang is more correct.
-  There is a broken link to Duankang.  But, Duankang is simply another name for Jinfei, right?  I would recommend a redirect for Duankang to Jinfei, but since we're already in the Jinfei article that seems a little redundant.  Shall I remove the link, create a redirect, or both?
-  Does the statement that "Duankang became easier" imply that she became easier to deal with or less strict in her rule?
Again, thank you for the article.--Jcoman 18:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Apley grind test

message: * This test has nothing to do with a meniscal tear. It is used to ascertain patellar (kneecap) dysfunction. It can be positive even with no pathology present, and must be used carefully and in conjunction with other tests.  -- preceeding comment was written by 24.115.29.1 and moved to the discussion page (pending proofs).
:The claim that the Apley compression test has nothing to do with a meniscal tear goes against the published reference that I have provided and is certainly not what was originally intended by Apley, as his original paper in the Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery was titled "The Diagnosis of Meniscus Injuries." Obviously, the value of the Apley compression test is not quite clear within the physical examination and may, in fact, be useless.

Talk:McMurray test

message: * This test is rarely positive for mensical tearing. A more accurate test is the Thessaly Test that involves flexing the affected knee to 20 degrees, pivoting on the knee, and seeing if the pain is reproduced on the inside or outside. This test is much more diagnostic than the McMurray sign, and should be preferentially used in the clinical examinationj of the knee. -- comments by 24.115.29.1 and moved to discussion page pending proofs.
:This is all fine and good, but the article is about the McMurray test, not about meniscal tears. As the article states and is supported by the referenced JAMA article, the test is not "rarely positive for meniscal tearing," as the actual sensitivity of 53% would not constitute "rarely" in most minds. An article about meniscal tears should certainly address all of your concerns, however! InvictaHOG 11:32, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm not sure what Krishna built, in that sentence. I think "city," and added it to the text of the article. If he didn't build a city, I think that sentence needs to be cleared up.

Talk:Gaelic warfare

message: Unless there are bibliographic references for this information, I consider much of it suspect.  Gaelicmichael 19:15, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed, but I don't see the point of it myself. On the other hand, the obvious places to merge or redirect to are rubbish as well. Medieval warfare is a case in point. (A useful pointer is to see how soon these things mention stirrups. The greater the prominence, the less the authors know about the subject as a whole. Medieval warfare manages to mention them in the first sentence of the first paragraph of the main article.) A real article on Gaelic warfare would deal with cattle raiding and cattle killing and arson, the three main aspects of warfare. Oh, and there was the occasional battle. It really spend its time on tedious matters like "How was an army raised ?", "How was it fed on campaign ?", "Why did people fight wars and what did they expect to achieve ?" and such like, the sort of things you'll find in books and articles by the likes of Verbruggen, Bacharach, Lynn and so on, rather than the wargamery, toy soldier collection, LARP/reenactment nonsense which informs the majority of writing on the web and usenet. I think most people have a fair grasp of what an axe is, and how to whack somebody with one, so that the usual thud and blunder style, while it reads well, doesn't really inform.
