Talk:List of birds of Indonesia

message: A fine effort!  Some ideas / suggestions:
* Put the common names first.  Wikipedia is a general reference, not a scientific one - and anyway most birders prefer common names
* You needs a comma between the common name and scientific name
*  helps for lists, and is acceptable use for this much-criticised template
* I think level 4 headings ("====") work better for Family names.  Level 3 is pretty large, and kinda hogs the page. Jumping from level 2 (Order) to level 4 (Family) works fine.

message: This article describes the modern "mountain shelter" bothy but it says little or nothing about the farm toun bothy from which it is derived. There is a need for a description of the evolution and history of the bothy to be added to the article. -- Derek Ross | Talk
:Agree. I thought about that when I first discovered this article recently. Please see DSL:
:*
:I am rather surprised to see that the earliest citation in DSL is as recent as 1771:
:*1771 T. Pennant Tour in Scot. 1769 102: "Bothay, a dairy-house, where the Highland shepherds, or graziers, live during summer with their herds and flocks, and during that season make butter and cheese."
:But probably the kind of people familiar with bothies didn't write about them much?

message: EDIT ARTICLES SUGGESTION
I wonder of the articels could be edited a bit as Bothy, Lean-to, Wilderness Hut and Bivouac often seem to be the same thing when I look thru the different language versions of wikipedia.
As an encylopedia I feel that there are 2 uses: 
1. shelter for travellers / holiday makers (albeit a kind of traveller) AND 
2. Work huts for temporary agricultural living / science like bird watching.
Perhaps bothy is just the SCOTS language word for wilderness survival huts? Perhaps someone could sort out these diff aspects and make it clearer. there is difficulty with the articles in ENglish being SCotland centric, and so bothys in Suomi or Deutschland do not get treated properly. Its an aspect that affects a lot of wikipedia (just look at self-defence or any law topic). But here it could be split with a general articel and then specific ones about "Wilderness shelters in each country respectively"  this can be seen for example in Swine flu outbreak 2009 where there is a general article in ENglish and then further country specific ones.  I think editing shodl be done by those with experice of such places.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.246.208.188 (talk) 20:11, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree wholeheartedly. As everybody writes about the local phenomenons with local sources, the articles give the feeling they are unique concepts, even when similar ones are common around the world.

thread_title:  Interesting 

message: Have Miura folds actually been used on any solar panels in space?
I recently changed this article from "simulate" to "have been ... spread out in space", but now I'm not so sure.
I've only seen one reference so far that claims this has actually been done in space (rather than proposed or simulated).
A comment on MetaFilter claims that people have talked about using it in spacecraft for a long time, and experimented extensively with Miura-folded prototypes, but always end up folding up solar panels in some other way when it comes time to actually launch real spacecraft.
After reading that comment, I went back and read that reference more carefully.
The description in that reference seems to match the 1996 Space Flyer Unit mission, but the description in that reference seems to conflate two different arrays deployed by that satellite: a solar panel (that as far I can tell was zig-zag folded, not Miura folded), and a Miura-folded "2D Array" (that as far as I can tell was not a photovoltaic solar panel).
Am I mis-understanding that reference and it actually refers to some other space mission, and if so, which one?
Do any other references support Miura folds actually used on real solar panels in space?
Do any other references support using Miura folds in space, perhaps for things other than solar panels?

The first one is in Table 1, where it shows the replacements of the PAN numerals 7-9 in Rejang.  The second one is in the sentence "Moreover, a hypothesis of borrowing fails to account for the fact that 1) the Malay innovations in the numerals 'one' (satu) and 'three' (tiga) do not also appear in Sundanese, Maloh, Rejang, Achinese or the Chamic languages, 2) Malay has sembilan 'nine', but the cognate forms in Iban, Maloh, Rejang and Cham have a simple medial nasal, and 3) Jarai is and probably has been for well over a thousand years a language of the Vietnamese highlands, and hence has been relatively inaccessible to maritime contacts."

message: Any book that I've seen implies (but never states it plainly) that Wilson's linearized  coordinates
satisfy the Eckart conditions. Until writing this article I was convinced that this was the case.
After reading a few books and papers on this topic, I don't believe it anymore, but I've found no confirmation of it. So, maybe I am wrong. Wilson et al. (1955) introduce in chapter 2 of their book normal coordinates that satisfy Eckart conditions. In chapter 4 they introduce normal coordinates as solutions of the GF method, but nowhere they state that these normal coordinates are not the same (as I believe). 
The basic problem arises from the fact that Wilson et al. do not apply  mass-weighting when they linearize valence coordinates. Therefore translation and rotation invariance  conditions do not contain masses either.

the reasoning in this article, or point out where I went wrong. --P.wormer 15:16, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
