Talk:Agdistis

message: Hi folks,
I have copyedited this article somewhat to make it easier reading. It is unclear to me what pronouns to use for Agdistis, at least pre-castration, so I settled for they until Agdistis was presented as conventionally fem.. Before I edited, the article flip-flopped between he and she. If anyone out there reads ancient Greek or can find a scholarly consensus on what pronouns to use (I have looked on JSTOR and google scholar and couldn't find anything, but I'm no expert) for Agdistis please update the article. Ta & have a nice day :) Rainbow the Magpie (talk) 15:29, 1 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Luis Muñoz Marín

message: Muñoz officially should not a have a predecesor on the info table, because the info table is only for DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED GOVERNORS. Jesús T. Piñero was appointed by President Harry Truman, therefore he is not  technically the predecesor of Muñoz Marín in the Order of Elected Governors
User: Coburnpharr04  November 7, 2004 02:59 AM 
:I have included Jesús T. Piñero as the "predecessor", but with the clarifying notation that he was the last Presidentially-appointed Governor.  As a matter of fact, Muñoz was the last person to hold the title of "Governor of Puerto Rico" and the first to hold the title used in the infobox of "Governor of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico".Pr4ever (talk) 21:30, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  The Gag law was passed in 1948 a year before Muñoz came to power! 

message: In June 1948 (when Law 53 was passed) Muñoz Marín was President of the Puerto Rican Senate, leader of the controlling political party (the PPD), and owner of the influential newspaper La Democracia. 
By 1948 he was the most powerful Puerto Rican politician on the island, more powerful than the "temporary" governor Piñero. Any and all legislation had to be sanctioned and shepherded through the legislature by Muñoz Marín. 
Muñoz Marín engineered the passage of Law 53 through his legislature.Nelsondenis248   (talk) 15:47, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Muñoz Marín was already '''IN''' power in 1948

message: This page says, "On December 6, 1962, Muñoz Marín was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by US President John F. Kennedy."  I have no special knowledge of this, but
* the Wikipedia page List of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients says that it was in 1963, and
* our personal (paper) copy of the 1975 Britannica says it was December, 1963
If this is correct, then LBJ was actually president at the official date of the award, of course. I note that the other two recipients listed for 1963 at List of Presidential Medal of Freedom recipients show LBJ as the president making the award.

message: The article refers to a paper by Toli and Zanoni.
In a paper in the AES 4 Conference (Lecture Notes in Computer Science 3373), Toli and Zanoni proved that the work of Murphy and Robshaw was flawed. 
First, the article does not include the Toli and Zanoni paper in its references.  More importantly, the referenced paper expands on the work of Murphy and Robshaw (the embedding of AES in BES) but does not claim to refute any of their results.

message: The article now says that after this treaty, Soca was given to Yugoslavia. In other articles (Rijeka, Treaty of Rome, 1924) it is said that Sušak (presently an eastern suburb of Rijeka) was given to Yugoslavia. Is Soca the Italian name for Sušak, or is Soca wrong?

replies: text: You are correct. It is clearly a mislabeled place on the map because, in reality, Cervignano is South-southeast of Palmanova, while this place on the map is indicated at a place southwest of Palmanova - quite possibly at the place where San Giorgio di Nogaro is located. Since that particular label adds nothing to understanding of the map, I'll see if it is possible to modify the map by merely removing the erroneous label from the map entirely.

Talk:Grease

message: Isn't grease also applied to prevent rusting (by keeping water off/out)? Rvollmert 11:39, 2004 Jul 31 (UTC)
It can be, but that is a secondary effect--generally you only have exposed, unpainted metals if you have external moving parts, like bike chains.  Some greases are not water resistant, it depends on the type of emulsifier used.  Since the emulsifiers tend to be soaps, if they do dissolve in water, they can actually help to remove the residual oils...  Heavier oils are more often used as a protectant for non-painted metal surfaces (like blued steel in firearms), but they tend to rub off, thus losing their protective abilities and likely staining surfaces they contact.  Greases can be used, but suffer the same disadvantages as oils.  Waxes are my own preferred treatment for firearms, since wax isn't as slippery (don't want to drop a loaded gun) and it doesn't rub off.  There is a company that I ran across that sells a mix of soap base, wax, and dry lubricant--sort of a solid EP grease--that they promote for use with bike chains.  The solid nature of the final product keeps it from collecting dust and grit, and turning into what is effectively a grinding compound.  scot 17:26, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: As I recall, it was meant to be a pun on Fritos corn chips; the motto "not just a snack" was used in the early days of the project. I can't find a source for this, though. Sw2k7 (talk) 03:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Does a primary source, right here, from the person who named it count as a source? :-)  If so, the story is a little more complicated -- the original name of it was intended to be MultiOS, but I ultimately rejected it after some consideration.  The next idea was the one that was ultimately used -- Freedows ("'98" and later "OS").  The article is accurate to suggest Freedows is a portmanteau of "free" and "windows" (akin to Freedos), but it was definitely not named that way to be a pun on the corn chips.  One of the early project members, however, indicated that he thought "Not just a snack anymore" would be a good motto (given how similar the name sounds) -- that was shortened to "Not just a snack," giving pretty much the only semi-official motto we used throughout the duration of the project.  It also seemed like an appropriate motto to illustrate that it wasn't intended to be a "weak" OS -- i.e. it wasn't just "a snack." :-)  Succinctly: the motto was partially a pun on corn chips, but the original name had nothing to do with them.  As an aside, the main corn chip brand I was familiar with was the one most popular in Western Canada, and the one I ate, Old Dutch.  I don't recall that the name similarity to Fritos even occurred to me until it was pointed out by the aforementioned project member. Reecesel (talk) 19:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
