message: The current explanation defines a mensurstrich by its visual representation "between the staves". However, there are also mensurstriche for a single staff, which are then written as "half-high" bar lines (typically from the 2nd to the 4th staff line, rarely also from the top to the middle line). The actual definition should be something like "lines marking equal time intervals in a metrum-free musical work" or the like - I am no musicologist and also do not have the necessary secondary literature, so a precise definition is beyond me. --User:Haraldmmueller 13:12, 8 September 2017 (UTC)

:Interesting find.  Some historians include accidental or "operational losses" in final casualty counts and some don't.  I think it could be included because the unfortunate man wouldn't have lost his life if the battle hadn't happened, even if enemy action didn't directly end his life.

Talk:Steel dam

message: for what it's worth...
The scalloping on the plates is to handle the hydrostatic forces; if you push evenly on a flat plate, it will bend out like that.  If you push on a plate bent into a cylindrical segment, then you have pure tensile stresses in the curved segment and it doesn't get bent in or out.
These dams seem to have used this technique instead of having stiffeners to divide the plate panels into smaller stiffened segments; that would work too (and is how aircraft and ship hulls are built; flat plates with transverse and longitudinal stiffeners), but is probably more expensive to fabricate, and for a static structure like this in which there's no flow to be disrupted by the scalloping there's no reason not to do this.

message: There is next to no mention of the early years of their career -- did they appear in comedy clubs? Theaters, as a sketch comedy duo? Opening up for rock bands? If they started in Vancouver, then they must have had some significant success before a major record label released an album of their comedy sketches. This part of their history needs to be expanded.Msalt (talk) 02:18, 9 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Encyclopedia.com (undoubtedly copyrighted) says that the duo  "met in 1968 in Vancouver, British Columbia, where Cheech had fled to avoid the U.S. draft during the Vietnam War. Together they co-founded an improv group called City Works, and performed in a nightclub owned by Chong's brother. By 1970 they were known as Cheech and Chong, and were performing in nightclubs in Toronto and Los Angeles." Still many unanswered questions -- how did Cheech resolve his draft status? The amnesty was not until years later. And how did they make the leap from Tommy Chong's brother's nightclub to gigs in LA and Toronto two years later.Msalt (talk) 02:22, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hornsby Shire

message: I'm not sure how to go about fixing the second paragraph in the Geography section so I'm writing here with the hope that someone who actually has a sense of writing on Wikipedia can correct the problems.
I reckon it's a bit of a stretch to call Mt Colah and Hornsby Heights 'village settlements' and I don't think they're in the northern half of the shire. Cowan or Brooklyn would make more sense for this. Also, I'd agree Galston is the centre of the southwesternish rural area but there's a lot more rural area than that. And Galston certainly isn't the obvious choice of a centre for people living in Hornsby Heights and Mt Colah - that would be Hornsby itself.

But this is not true in many areas. The Frazer River for example has a threatened but strong population of tens of thousands of these fish, which seem to live there year round and there are no damns on that river.

thread_title:  Kudos 

message: , re this edit and a subsequent edit to Teague as a source in the "Background" section.
The text formerly read: 
The text now reads: 
* There is a concern about the reliability of Teague as a source.
* The statement now reads that "four-thousand and six-thousand troops" were landed in one day and that the occupation occurred "immediately"  This is factually incorrect in that the landings occurred over some ten days.
* Teague gives a range of 4,000 - 6,000 landed. Williams (a recent good quality academic source using access to Japanese records not previously available) gives a figure of 4,057 for the troops initially landed.  However, I would say that the actual figure is of little consequence, since a lot happened between the initial landings and the subject battle at Buna-Gona.  More important is the actual Japanese strength at about the time of the battle some four months latter and after the campaign along the track. That figure was more like 11,000- 12,000 (as reported under the section: "Japanese forces"). At the very least, there is a more precise figure available.
Consequently, I am reverting the edit but please feel free to discuss the matter further per BRD. Cinderella157 (talk) 03:02, 23 December 2021 (UTC)
