Talk:John Fortescue of Salden

message: The photo attributed to John Fortescue of Salden is actually a wood engraving of John Fortescue (judge). Although John of Salden and John Fortescue (judge) were both Chancellors (to make it more confusing!), I use as a source, "The Works of Sir John Fortescue, Knight, Chief Justice of England and Lord Chancellor to King Henry the Sixth.  Now first collected and arranged by Thomas (Fortescue) Lord Clermont, printed for private distribution, London, 1869."  This book is available at www.archive.org. In this collected works of John Fortescue (judge), it shows this same wood engraving as a portrait of John Fortescue (judge).  As further support, William Faithorne did wood engravings of prominent individuals such as queens, prominent members of Parliament, etc.  John of Salden likely was not of enough social status to have a wood engraving done, but John (judge) certainly was.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.216.117.33 (talk) 19:03, 25 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Clark cell

message: The voltage and temperature dependence are given differently at different sources. My old CRC handbook from 1945 says 1.4328 volts at 15 deg C, with temperature  equation 1.4328[1-0.00119(t-15)-0.000007(t-15)2] volt. This gives a temperature variation of 1.7 millivolt for a 1 dec C temp change from 15 deg C.
A website http://humboldt.edu/~scimus/Instruments/Elec-Duff/StdCellDuff.htm says " 1.434 volts at 15°C. and for a temperature t , an e.m.f. of [1.434 - 0.0012 (t - 15)] volts." which looks like a temperature variation of 1.2 millivolts for a 1 deg C variation.
A website http://chem.ch.huji.ac.il/~eugeniik/history/clark.html which references the above site says 1.4328 volts, but with a temperatuure variation of  Et= E15 deg (1 - 0.00077(t - 15)) which looks like a temperature variation of 1.1 millivolts for a 1 degree C temperature variation.Edison 17:45, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:East Norwalk station

message: The article says "MetroNorth" built the station house in the 1980's. This seems unlikely, as the station building appears older. Were the high-level platforms built in the 80's (next to existing station buildings).
Also, a bit more nitpicking, MetroNorth rarely builds station infrastructure. The tracks and station platforms are owned by the state of Connecticut, and the state is responsible for most major construction (MetroNorth only performs routine maintenance to operate the platforms). It is more likely the state built the platforms in 1980's. Rarely does the state own the parking lots. More likely the city of Norwalk owns the parking lots. If the station buildings (distinct from the platforms), it is more likely the city built these, replicating the history design similar to other stations on the line. The state sometimes inherited old station houses, but very rarely constructs new ones. –Zfish118⋉talk 14:35, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The building does in fact date to the 1980s; Roy and Belletzkie agree on that, and looking at historic aerials it's present in 1991 but not 1985.

Talk:Merritt 7 station

message: The statement It is also one of the few stations in the system located at a grade crossing. seems specious since the Cannondale and Branchville stations are at grade crossings (Branchville has grade crossings both north and south of the station platform).  There are several grade crossings within the city of Danbury (though they may be somewhat distant from the station).  At any rate how is Merritt 7 different from so many other stations right on the Danbury Branch in this regard?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.73.252 (talk) 17:55, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Your right. If you look on the history for the article page, something close to your point was made by Daniel Case in one of the early edit summaries. All the stations on the New Canaan branch are near grade crossings. What's unusual about the station is that it has no platform level with the train doors. Could that have been what the editor was trying to say? (reread the paragraph, no, that's not what the editor was trying to say.) I think we should change it. Noroton (talk) 03:32, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed that one sentence from the article.  I recently visited Wilton, Cannondale,  Branchville, and West Redding; and I think that Merritt-7's grade crossing several hundred meters south of the station is somewhat unlike those other stations.  For example at Wilton it is possible (in principle) to be trapped from leaving the platform when the boom barrierss might close (in the admittedly unlikely event that 2 trains were running on either side of the platform).  The barriers could trap you in principle since the grade crossing is right at the end of the ramp leading to the platform.  The grade crossing near the Merrit-7 station is nowhere near as close as at the other stations on the Danbury Branch. (Even the old unused station at Bethel is closer to a grade crossing than is Merritt-7).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.86.73.252 (talk) 03:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

I am changing the sentence to "Caddo is one of Texas's few natural lakes; however, it was artificially altered by the addition of a dam in the 1900s". If you don't like this wording, please change it, but don't reintroduce the BS claim about "Texas's only natural lake".

Talk:Redding station (Metro-North)

message: Although the Metro-North Railroad may be in the habit of publishing schedules that shorten the name "West Redding" to "Redding", if you look on a map you'll note that the station is in the West Redding neighborhood in the town of Redding, Connecticut.  The name "West Redding" also appears on the name of a nearby shopping center as well as on signs pointing out the neighborhood from nearby Connecticut Route 53.  The road that runs over the tracks just north of the station is called the "West Redding Road" since it leads into West Redding from the Starrs Plain Road (that then Joins US Route 7).  Hence Metro-North was apparently correct in labelling the station "West Redding" with the signs on the platform.
I would like to change the sentence that currently reads "Though officially named Redding, the platform sign incorrectly calls the station West Redding."  to instead read "The station is also known as West Redding, which is the name of the neighborhood within the town of Redding that the station is in." 67.86.73.252 (talk) 00:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
