Talk:Cold fusion/to do

message: #Expand the Cold Fusion Research section to describe all types of experiments that reliable sources claim demonstrate cold fusion.
#For each type of experiment, give a sense for the reported results.  Place the results in context, for example comparing excess energy to input energy, measurement uncertainty, or chemical sources where appropriate.  Give a sense for how many different groups have reported each type of result in reliable sources.
#For each type of experiment, identify major assumptions made in interpreting the results.  Relate questionable assumptions and analysis to alternative non-nuclear explanations.
#Describe transmutation claims made by reliable sources in greater detail, distinguishing measurement that have been related to episodes of excess heat, distinguishing byproducts measured to be proportionate to excess heat from byproducts detected in tiny amounts.
#Explain potential errors in making nuclear measurements, such as those that Jones claimed he made in detecting neutrons.  Perhaps explain the errors made by Fleischman and Pons.  Explain if there are source of contamination that could explain the results.  Identify if the detectors used have known reliability or precision issues within the range at which measurements were made.
#In summary of the above, convey to the reader the information in reliable sources that underlie the claims of cold fusion researchers that the body of data is compelling, and include any additional information or explanation necessary for the reader to make an independent informed judgment as to the merits of those claims.
# Ensure the article meets a neutral point of view. ~Paul V. Keller 00:17, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Fine (penalty)

message: This looks awfully like a dictionary entry. - dcljr 09:31, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: A fine is money paid as a financial punishment for the commission of minor crimes or as the settlement of a claim. A synonym, typically used in civil law actions, is mulct.
In the UK fines are imposed for Corporate Manslaughter. Hardly a minor crime.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.138.12.194 (talk) 22:30, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably more accurate to talk about a penalty than a punishment. For a poor person, a small fine might be punishing. For a rich person or a corporation, even a large fine might be just the cost of doing business. Ben Aveling 18:15, 27 June 2023 (UTC)

message: *I suggest to remove the part "Fines in English land transactions" and incorporate this into a separate (and expanded) article, as this part has no bearing whatsoever to the punishment of crimes, but is a form of what nowadays perhaps would be best described as a kind of registration fee or property transfer tax.

message: The entry states that fines are fair, yet a set fine can obviously be a devestating punishment for a low income person and a minor inconvinience to a high income person.

Talk:Hatshepsut

message: Neat one to cleanup. And the Met is cool too.  While I'm sure I've forgotten several things from the days of taking art history courses, her mortuary temple isn't one of them. What a large thing to seemingly know so little about. Anyway: The "early life and family" section having only one fact has me try to think of another one, and should it not say something about her father Thutmose I?  It is not unusual to recapitulate what is in the lede, for it is unusual to have citations in the lede, a problem easily resolved by recapitulating with a citation and elaborating in the body.

message: 'Hatshepsut is, according to Egyptologist James Henry Breasted, "the first great woman in history of whom we are informed."'
-- Fair enough. And she might have been deified by the Greeks as Athena(Athena Saitis)(Athena Onga/Ahkh)(Athena Tritogeneia-third gen from Aahotep II), with statues linking her to Ethiopia, commemorating her voyage to Punt.
Of course her grandmother, Aahotep II, was Artemis, or Io, and worshiped in Egypt, Greece, and Canaan(3 continents), and might be linked to Asherah, the wife of God, in the bible; and her Grandmother, Aahotep I founded the new kingdom, and might have been conflated with the other 2 great women. 2601:58B:E7F:8410:64F0:AFF4:2F14:9CB8 (talk) 03:37, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

The following is just hoo-hah, because this topic is way over my head, but something with this level of tone and specificity would be nice: Period Points Julia Set is one of a large variety of mathematical entities within the Mandelbrot set, important to mathematicians because it provides a link between the "chaos" aspects of that well-known  form and certain types of higher algebra.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/User:Guanaco versus User:Lir/Proposed decision

message: My recollection of conversations around the time (eg on IRC) was that it was deemed failed - insufficient support generally (and for parallel proposals, such as allowing easier blocks of usernames), specific objections by a troll and an anti-authoritarian, and a lack of specific support (few comments). It probably could have been, had it been advertised more heavily, but everyone involved had other priorities at the time - wasn't seen as worth the effort.
Guanaco's attempt today to edit it for wider acceptability and make it official probably has a better chance of success - I'll be interested to see how it pans out - but I don't think it can be considered retrospective. Martin 16:55, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:DVDA

message: ----
Removed dubious claim from the article:
:Although this position occurs during the events of the movie (offscreen, of course), it would seem to be physically impossible, but it was achieved in a pornographic film released in 2003 called: DVDA. See: <removed commercial link>
According to the blurb for the film, it depicts dual vaginal penetration, and also dual anal penetration, both of which are quite believable and well documented practices, but not both at once. Putting two penis-sized objects into each orifice of the receptive partner is not the problem, given someone used to dilating themselves to that degree, and large amounts of lubricant. The problem is geometry. Think about it: where do all four male performer's pelvises go in a hypothetical DVDA? -- Karada 16:27, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Allodial

message: I've tried to tidy this page up a little. Allodial land and "fee simple" are quite different concepts and arise in different situations, at least in English law. I am guessing that the two have merged in US law, because of the revolution. The difference is quite real in England, and since this is an international encyplopedia I thought it useful to make that distinction.
More help on this entry, particularly on what has happened in the US, would be useful.
Francis Davey 17:53, 31 Jul 2004 (UTC)

message: "Allodial" being an adjective, the proper title of this entry is Allodial tenure, which draws attention to the fact that its natural place is as a subsection of Land tenure. It's all too easy to break apart entries into meaningless constituent fragments. This entry doesn't stand on its own, apart from its context in the very brief entry at Land tenure.

The lead is supposed to reflect what the article says, and right now there's only one sentence about Gamespot's list. Second, it's inclusion on the article about greatest games isn't necessarily a guarantee that it gets added here--although I agree that it's helpful because there's a ton of links on that other page.

Talk:History of rugby union

message: I'm a bit uneasy about this page being called "History of Rugby Union", as it appropriates the common history of both kinds of Rugby. I mean when the Northern Rugby Union broke away, the intention was not to create a totally different sport, it was simply to allow professionalism. So I think this page should be called "History of Rugby" or "History of Rugby Football". Grant65 (Talk) 18:05, Jul 31, 2004 (UTC)
:No, after the split the two carried on separately.

Talk:Palais des Papes

message: The subtitle of the first picture of a statue at the top of a tower is wrong. The tower belongs to a church standing next to the palace. The church itself was built later after popes left Avignon and is not a part of the palace at all.  The palace's church (in fact two churches) are integral part of the building and very little of them is seen from outside. They are to the right from the main entrance. In the time popes lived in Avignon the palace was ment as a fortress aswell and this purpose led to very little to be seen from outside. Imho I would remove the first picture from this article. The second is ok and actually shows the nicest exterior part of the palace. David

message: Personally, I think the inclusion of the Little Mermaid/Transformers trailer mashup in the same rarified Internet air as the Sharknado, SpongeBob and Shrek franchises is in poor taste. I am ignoring that the entry as is currently stands as a giant run-on sentence for now. In my personal opinion, having a coincidence that got a couple million views on Twitter, hasn't been picked up by any "respectable" outlets outside of the nerd sphere (Not even the local news out in Franklin, Tennessee) and isn't in the running to be added to the questionable meme wiki known as Know Your Meme does not count as an internet phenomena. I could talk about the memes that aren't on the list yet and absolutely deserve a place on the list, but that would be a waste of space.
If we consider this another piece of majestic "internet phenomena", Marjorie Taylor Greene would've been added to the Politics section before she even became a Congresswoman. IntMaMis (talk) 23:09, 10 May 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Know Your Meme is not a reliable source and its inclusion (or lack thereof) of a meme is therefore a non-factor in whether or not we put something on this list. Memes that are on this list are those that have received significant coverage in reliable sources. If you can make an argument that the sources for the Little Mermaid/Transformers mashup are not sufficiently reputable to support that meme's inclusion, then you may do so, but we generally do not remove things simply because they are "in poor taste." As Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view, the threshold for inclusion is verifiability, not whether or not editors personally like something. silviaASH (inquire within) 23:32, 10 May 2023 (UTC)

Beasley is less precise about sub-variants: "Major variations involve the treatment of stalemate (some play it as a draw or as a win for the player who is left with the smaller number of men) and promotion (some prohibit promotion to K, some allow promotion only to Q).
