thread_title:  Merge with DPS 

message: This article references the guild wars elementalist as one of the highest DPS classes in the game.  Infact, ele's are fairly low damage compared to other classes (part of why they aren't run in competitive play outside of snare capicity).  An Ele is lucky to break 1800 damage per minute, when warriors can come close to that just by autoattacking (with skills, warriors approach 2600 damage per minute).  On a spike, Rangers have much higher damage due to the buff's applicable to their fast attacking speed on hunters shot and interupts.  Guild wars is just a bad example over all due to the emphasis on team play.  I recomend changing this reference to Rouges in World of Warcraft.  The entire idea behind rouges is for maximum DPS combined with a stun lock, something that is not replicated in guild wars very well due to the concentration on bypassing defense rather than hitting the absolute highest possible damage.Kumlekar (talk) 06:59, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: I fixed one section where the original text just assumed critical damage was double, and glancing damage was half. Those ratios are, in my experience, typical but not universal. This sort of thing, assuming a universal game mechanic, appears elsewhere in the article, but I didn't have time to fix all occurrences. 23.126.70.31 (talk) 14:57, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Category talk:History of Ireland (1801–1923)

message: 90% of this category's elements appear to be "parliamentary constituency" articles. Seems (to me) like mis-categorisation. Seriously recommend either:
* Creating a subcat under Cat:History of Ireland 1801-1922 for Cat:Parliamentary constituencies of Ireland 1801-1922 (though this may be overcat), or
* Removing these articles from this cat and ensuring the are correctly cat under the existing: Category:United Kingdom Parliamentary constituencies (historic)  or Category:Historic parliamentary constituencies in Ireland , or both.

thread_title:  Picture

message: I've worked in industries that used parts called impellers in sensor set ups.  This may have been a case of them calling a part by a name that should have been something else as far as linguists are concerned.  Nevertheless, it is quite common and I think we need to revise the first sentence of this article accordingly.  Alternatively we should at least add an "other uses" paragraph. 71.236.24.129 (talk) 04:29, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that such a part would more appropriately be called a turbine or a runner since it is driven by the flow of the fluid and does not impart motion. See also my comment regarding the picture of a runner that I view as inappropriate.

thread_title:  Lily impeller 

message: I deleted the section describing how they "replaced the axial compressor on X turboprop with an impeller", because an axial compressor IS an impeller! What he means is that they replaced the axial type of compressor with a centrifugal compressor. They are BOTH impellers, so what difference does it make if they replaced one with the other? Author probably read somewhere how they "used a centrifugal impeller" in the new engine, and got confused, thinking that must mean that it's an impeller, unlike an axial compressor. But its not; they are both impellers, and thus the whole section has no relevance, as well as being misleading to people..45Colt 10:14, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Biginelli reaction

New Tricks from an Old Dog (Kappe, C.O.; Acc. Chem. Res., 2000, 33, 879-888) that the mechanism has been determined as first a condensation between the benzaldehyde and urea, not the benzaldehyde and ethyl acetoacetate as mentioned in 1973. The mechanism proposed in 1973 details a pathway involving a carbnium ion and the revised version does not. Would anyone with further information be able to edit the page accordingly?

While there were no actual Councils on the front, since 1917 there were indeed USPD agitators among the soldiers who secretely brought illegal newspapers to the front that were calling for the end of the war and a more democratizized government by means of giving more power to the Imperial Diet beyond being allowed to okay the domestic budget drafted by the Emperor-appointed Chancellor and his cabinet. --79.193.63.173 (talk) 12:29, 24 August 2012 (UTC)

Which explains why you and I are debating over the long and short of said 'y'.
