"fondly known as KWC and to other locals as King Bill's"
In less of course you can cite a source that states it is fondly known as KWC. Living on the island the general impression is that there is very little fondness toward the school at all.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.88.165.60 (talk) 09:40, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Wiki is not a Advert

message: In a recent visit to the Isle I saw the college, but only from the road on my way to Castletown.  I don't know much about it, but if it's been around since the seventeenth century, surely more could be written; as it stands, the article isn't really about the college but about some peripheral subjects, like the test, the description of the crest, etc.  What does the college do?  Is it known for any fields?  What is its history like?  Now I wish I had paid the campus a visit, it did look nice from afar.  Furthermore, the college website says it was founded in 1833; that's not what this article says.  Which is correct?Baronplantagenet 03:52, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Light-gas gun

message: At conditions achieved in two-stage light-gas guns, the speed of sound of hydrogen depends on both pressure and temperature. This is because the hydrogen is compressed to densities where the interaction between the fluid particles can no longer be neglected. One publication that deals with the equation of state of hydrogen at such conditions is NRL Report 6675 from 1968, available via dtic []. Fig. B3 in this report plots sound speed vs. temperature for various pressures. From this graph it is obvious that "The speed of sound also increases with the temperature of the fluid (but is independent of the pressure)" (as stated in the article) is not correct for relevant conditions. There are newer references that confirm those findings.
Since I'm no native speaker, I would like to leave an update of the article to somebody more familliar with English.
By the way, Fig. B3 in NRL Report 6675 also shows that the speed of sound increases considerably with pressure. In high performance experiments with two-stage light-gas guns, more than 10,000 atm are achieved in hydrogen. According to the figure, this would correspond to a sound speed of roughly 5.5 km/s. 153.96.89.5 (talk) 20:27, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

:The story? The text? What is meant by "redaction"? Did Aed compose a text based on a tale he had heard? This sentence is extremely vague.
Agreed, but this exact text was taken from EB1911. Still, hopefully someone can clear it up. Also, I don't know if the texts identified are still in the same libraries as in 1911. David Brooks (talk) 03:57, 14 May 2018 (UTC)

thread_title: WorldAIDS Day

message: Just a question regarding consistency across articles. I see that this article is named and titled "Obelisk of Buenos Aires", which is a translation into English. Now, whenever I look for, say, Paris' Arc of Triumph, I find that not only the article is titled in French "Arc de Triomphe", but every reference in the article that points to some french-named structure, avenue or monument, is in French. It also happens with articles regarding other countries, such as the Plaza de Toros Las Ventas in Madrid.
How about editing this and other articles (or not this one and yes other articles) so that a consistent naming policy can be achieved across Wikipedia?
It personally feels like English speakers respect French culture and do not respect the Argentinian culture.
Thanks,

message: I'm not sure that this actually qualifies as an actual obelisk, despite its name. Its shape is that of an obelisk, but it's hollow and made of concrete. An actual obelisk is solid granite.

replies: text: I object.  The term obelisk is about the shape, not about the construction material or the solid/hollowness of it.  I refer you to the hollow Washington Monument made of marble, gneiss, and granite.

message: I find this sixth century writer of piyyut interesting, so much so that I took the very little information I could easily find about him from my hometown in northern British Columbia, and made it into an article. Does anyone who is interested in writers of piyyut know more about him? I found his poetry facinating. I would love to know more about him and how he fits into the tradition. 
I guess this is a plea for people who are more knowledgable about piyyut to take at look at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleazar_Ben_Killir and help improve and de-orphan it. Moonbug (talk) 06:13, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Eleazar Ben Killir

message: It's simply wrong, that "Adon Olam" is written in iambic tetrameter. Of piyyutim, written in medieval Spain, there are two kinds: those written in accordance with the Arab arood, i.e. with the quantitative meters, borrowed from Arabic poetry, and those written in accordance with the older tradition of Palestinian piyyut, they have tonic meters, i.e., the number of accentuated words defines the meters. Adon Olam is written in accordance with arood rules, its meter is called ha-Marnin or in Arabic al-Hazaj. The scheme is the following ("U" is the syllable with voiced shva or one of its variants, and "-" is the syllable with any other vowel): U---|U---. There are many poems, both secular and religious, written with this meter, such as Deror Yikra by Dunash ben-Labrat (who first imported arood into Hebrew poetry). As for Yigdal, it is written with the shortened variant of the meter called in Hebrew ha-Shalem, and in Arabic al-Kamil. This is also a quantitative meter of arood, its scheme is --U-|--U-|--
This is clearly correct and needs to be amended immediately. 76.108.167.208 (talk) 20:27, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

replies: text: As above, it can also be numbers of atoms or ions or electrons or almost anything else. It is a convenient size for lab work, though mMol might be even more convenient. Chemistry does reaction energy in kCal/Mol, where physics uses eV, leaving out the unit for the particle, as it is one of whatever is being discussed.  US chemical engineers use pound-mole, but conveniently the ratio of pound moles is the same as the ratio of the gram-mole, the specific term for what most just call mole.

Talk:Minchinbury, New South Wales

message: Sorry but in accordance with be bold this has been a draft for a very long time. What was on the main article as of today did not reflect that Minchinbury is CURRENTLY a residential suburb. There were no mentions on the article itself regarding the landmarks - for suburbs in Blacktown it is unusual that there are any landmarks which a casual person would notice, Minchinbury has TWO.
A valuable contribution would be to upload photos of the two landmarks onto the commons. It's a shame you don't have the full story regarding the plane - I am pretty sure it is a jet trainer not a cesna?
BTW - this is an encyclopedia - record facts. If you are reporting "folkore" regarding the origin of the plane (memorial?) note it in the article as folklore / urban legend / whatever. 
I wickified your first source and copied it to the references section.
