Talk:Per Una

message: So, what's the issue with the case? The Wikipedia entry is "Per Una", but notes in the history claim "Per Una" should always be spelt "per una", in lower case. However, the article itself has both casings. `Zozart .chat 12:03, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All right, just did some updates. It seems the brand is known as per una on the logo and in clothing, but most (if not all?) publications refer to it as Per Una. I've tagged this article with the "technical restriction" thing, as I suppose it should be named per una, just as eBay is called eBay. Furthermore, although the article is introduced with the lower-case spelling, later in the article it is referred to with upper case letters. `Zozart .chat 14:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Launched on September 28, 2001 as a joint venture between Marks & Spencer and Next founder George Davies. The brand quickly established a reputation for refreshing and affordable clothing with sleek, offbeat designs which incorporated unusual materials such as dried kelp, broken glass, driftwood, hermit crab shells, those plastic things that hold together 6 packs of lager, fishing nets, twigs and other sea-side detritus!

Talk:J. M. R. Parrondo

message: We got the sandbox for that, right? --Sid 12:29, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Parrondo initially devised his countintuitive games of chance, in 1996, as an illustration of how Brownian ratchets operate and first presented the idea on a viewgraph slide entitled How to Cheat a Bad Mathematician, at an EEC workshop on Complexity and Chaos, Torino, Italy. In that same year he published an article critiquing Richard Feynman's analysis of a Brownian ratchet in the American Journal of Physics. Derek Abbott at the University of Adelaide, Australia, was working on a related, but still unsolved, problem regarding Feynman's analysis. Parrondo's article prompted Abbott to fly to Madrid in 1997 and they met for the first time—but the problem proved tough and it was not until 1999 they finally published a solution. However, in the meantime, Parrondo shared the concept of his paradoxical games—consequently Abbott coined the terms "Parrondo's paradox" and "Parrondo's games," publishing verification of the result  in the journal Nature, in 1999.

Talk:Ruisleipä

message: "Any visitor to Finland is advised to try Ruispalt with Oltermanni cheese, with maybe some Turku mustard to taste."
I think this simply isn't true. While rye bread in general might be something that Finns offer to visitors, I have never heard of Ruispalat-Oltermanni-mustard specifically being an combination offered to foreigners. And I think eating ruispalat especially with Oltermanni and Turun Sinappi isn't really that common that it should be mentioned here. I would therefore remove the cheese-mustard mention untill there's some reference for this.
And I think the current article name is simply wrong. Ruispalat means rye bread like this:
http://www.vaasan.com/public/fi/06_uutiset/01_arkisto/ruispalat_lasi.jpg
Even the name "ruispalat" means "rye pieces", referring to the breads being in slices and pieces in size ready for eating.
The bread description in the article is not known as ruispalat, but rather as "reikäleipä" (meaning "hole bread"). The name is obvious, as reikäleipä looks like this: http://www.ristopeltolanleipomo.fi/gfx/leivat/iso_reika.gif
Generally Finland has several kinds of rye breads, and ruispalat is just one of them. Reikäleipä, ruislimppu ( http://www.emilhalme.fi/images/Egna%20bilder/ruislimppu.jpg ) and näkkileipä are others.
Now that I think of it, the entire article needs to be rewritten, or I would merge it with the rye bread article and detail the Finnish rye breads (together with other variants of rye bread) more in that article.
I agree, that this article should be a section in the rye bread article. 91.152.190.132 19:39, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

:Yes, Adelaide (the city) was named after Queen Adelaide, the consort of a British King. However, the name Adelaide itself derives from the german word adel which translates as aristocracy or noble birth.--Cyberjunkie 10:16, 14 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Adelaide name comes from? 

message: The South Australian education-system is highly regarded, and is often a centre for innovation. Education is compulsory for all children until the age of 16, however, the majority of students stay on to complete their South Australia Certificate of Education (SACE). Both public and private schools receive funding from the Federal Government; 65% of the overall amount goes to the private school sector, the theory being that the price of private education will be reduced and accessable to a larger portion of the population, in practice this often hasn't been the case. The issue was raised in the 2004 Federal election but has died down in the meantime. 
This information is relevant for all of South Australia, not just Adelaide and was therefore moved to the state page. - Aaron Hill 12:17, Feb 26, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Oar (sport rowing)

message: Sculling oars are around 284cm - 290cm (288 is a common length) and rowing oars 370cm - 376cm (374 is common). I have changed the oar lengths to reflect this. I'm not sure what the length of the blades are. Ozdaren 13:01, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Oar Lengths

message: I am a bit confused by the terms used in this article to describe the sleeve and collar. In Australian parlance the plastic surround which encloses the oar and sits inside the swivel is called the sleeve. The plastic adjustable collar which abuts the swivel and gate is called the collar (or button when speaking to the older generation). This ensures the oar does not slide out from the swivel.

*History - including differences in blade shapes and former construction materiels
*Parts of a blade (perhaps with a graphic) and including typical lengths and notes on rigging
*Development - breif notes on experimental blade types

Talk:Smith Gun

message: A young member of the Home Guard remembers witnessing a training incident with the Smith Gun:
:We also received a smooth bore Smith gun. It arrived in boxes and required assembling. After it had been assembled as per instructions a small washer was found in one of the boxes. This item was ignored and the gun was taken onto the firing range for testing. It could fire mills bombs or phosphorus bottle bombs which burst into flames on impact. Our two corporals were to have the privilege of firing the first shots. The breach was opened and a phosphorus bomb inserted followed by the propelling charge. The two gunners crouched behind the shield and the order to fire was given. There was a bang followed by a huge burst of flame which enveloped gun and gunners. From out of this conflagration staggered our corporals, their eyebrows had gone and their tunics were smoldering. They had the appearance of having been on a good summer’s holiday. It was later discovered that the bomb had gone off in the barrel by striking the foresight screw which had protruded into the bore. The washer left in the box would have prevented this.
That's a good anecdote but it describes the Northover Projector not the Smith Gun.Sitalkes (talk) 03:19, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Anecdote

message: There are many contradictory statements made about the Smith Gun, but this (and the following prohibiting it from being towed) is the strangest.  Mounted on a simple two-wheeled trailer (‘trailer, artillery, No. 39’) which looked "like a two-wheeled baby carriage", it could be towed by any car of 10 hp or more.  Its unsprung wheels were not designed for this purpose though, and Home Guard units had to be prohibited from doing so, as it would damage them.  The gun and limber could also be towed by a single horse, or individually behind two motorcycles.   In the Wessex archives video you can see two men easily pushing the gun and limber by themselves (across flat ground admittedly).  I have also read that Its large wheels also enabled the crew to manhandle the gun into position over rubble or broken ground.  I think any statements about it being heavy (it weighed approximately 604 pounds or twice as much as the Blacker Bombard) have to be heavily qualified.Sitalkes (talk) 03:46, 4 February 2016 (UTC)
