Talk:Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh

message: I've recently removed an unsourced (see WP:CITE) statement from the main article. Editor NRPanikker responded by inserting a question and piece of self-reference ("(See History)") in the article. I've reverted this.
My reasoning for that revert is simply that the self-reference of referring somebody to the article history within the article is unsafe; it may (probably) not work in the Wikipedia CD edition, or many of the Wikipedia "reprints" out there. It is discouraged in various parts of the Wikipedia style guide. (See WP:STYLE)
As for the initial comment which I removed; in the edit summary he or she also asked, "Why can't we say why?". The point there was that it's subjective whether the baths were placed on the Infirmary site for the reason which I removed, namely that bathing was considered a dangerous activity requiring medical supervision. Some might say it was placed there for rather the opposite reason, i.e. because bathing was coming to be seen as advantageous to health. Either way, an encyclopædia article shouldn't include this kind of potentially controversial opinion without evidence to back it up, i.e. reference to a (secondary) source containing the information; for example a respected text about the foundation of the Infirmary. – Kieran T (talk | contribs) 14:42, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Bulk material handling

message: What is "break-bulk"?
break bulk is all cargo that cant be loaded into a container like wheat and grains   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.93.6.33 (talk) 15:18, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Sometimes bulk cargo is loaded into containers for back haul.  This is commonly done with U.S. waste paper, which is put in containers and sent to Asia.  It also helps get the containers out of the U. S. where there is no use for them.  It uneconomical to return them empty.  I believe grain is sometimes put in them.  Nevertheless, grain is bulk material because it is almost always handled Phmoreno (talk) 23:35, 27 February 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Format of a trial 

message: Current content introduces the field of labour and employment law, but nothing specific re Trials. My understanding is proceedings in this legal field comprises many (substantial) civil trials and (substantial) administrative hearings - and which of these two maain routes cases take may be determined by a wide range of factors (legal system, leglislation, jurisdiction, industry, workplace, occupation, hiring conditions, full/part-time status, etc. But both these streams' trials are covered in general terms above.

Talk:Wonder Woman: Amazonia

message: I haven't read this series, so I can't determine if the Duke of Clarance is injured in the explosion, has always been frail, or what. If someone who is more familiar with the case could edit so as to remove the prejudicial and tacky "confined to a wheelchair" to something like "injured in the explosion and uses a wheelchair", if it's relevant, or just remove the wheelchair entirely if it isn't relevant, that would be nice. Unless the Duke is senile and raving and has to be tied to his wheelchair lest he try to escape his nurses, he is probably not "confined", as even in the 19th century wheelchair users rarely slept in their chairs, and often transferred to other seating. Yes, it's a nitpick, but it's important.

message: The supposed origin of the phrase which I was told in the Army was that the early, World War I-era belt-fed machine guns used ammo belts which were nine yards long, so one who had "shot the whole nine yards" had made every effort possible, and the phrase soon came to be applied to anyone who had gone to extreme levels of effort as having "gone the whole nine yards".

Talk:Anak (song)

message: I actually included these in the internal comments on the article, but I'd like to have it repeated here. Since this is a very notable Filipino song, I firmly believe this song deserves a well-written article of its own. Here's my thoughts on how this article can be improved: 
:1. Discussion of the song's lyrics and music (i.e. content, structure, narrative)
:2. Citations/awards
:3. Cover versions by other artists (e.g. Gary Valenciano, Regine Velasquez, etc.)
:4. External links (including one for the lyrics [copyrighted lyrics are not allowed on Wikipedia])
I've never mentioned this in the internal comments, but this item may also be worth including:
:5. References in (Philippine) Popular Culture (e.g. became the title and the theme song of the Claudine Barretto-Vilma Santos film)

message: Doesn't the S-25 actually have either eight or ten finds? If I recall correctly the launch tube is actually rifled and the four engine nozzles are offset at angles in order to help the initial spinning up of the rocket during launch. Then the fins extend shortly before the rocket booster burns out. In any case, I'm removing the reference to fins until this is corrected.--Hrimpurstala (talk) 19:18, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
Talk:TMA-3 mine

message: Personal Experience during South African Border War.
In the South African army, back in the late '70s at least, during the South African Border War, we knew this mine as the "Cheese mine" due to its resemblance to a round of gouda cheese.  However, far from having an operating pressure of 180kg, SWAPO employed bakelite detonators which required only about 7kg of operating pressure.  Using the bakelite detonators made the mines almost undetectable to a metal mine detector and also made them fragile.  If the pressure did not come directly from the top the detonator stems would sometimes snap off.  Anecdotal evidence supported by personal experience demonstrated this.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that the scars are from the explosion... I can't recall if it's explicitly stated or not, but if it's not then it is pretty heavily implied.

thread_title:  created a thread on candidates for deletion 

message: This category is now called :Category:Wellesley_College_alumni. This decision was by no means unanimous. In short, this category is named :Category:Wellesley_College_alumni because of three users.
Those associated with Wellesley College know the preferred term of alumnae is to refer to themselves as alumnae. When the category for former attendees of Wellesley was created, it was named :Category:Wellesley College alumnae. Starting October 3, 2006, there was a brief discussion Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_October_3#Category:Wellesley_College_alumnae among just three users on Wikipedia:Categories for deletion and it was decided the category would be renamed to :Category:Wellesley_College_alumni. After I couldn't find the category when working on Marguerite S. Church, I proposed reversing the change, and restoring the category to its original name. There was a discussion on this topic Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_October_17#Category:_Wellesley_College_alumni and the result of the discussion was a draw. The naming of the category as alumni stands, but it's not clear for how long. People who would like to revisit this should first assemble a large number of enlightened users who are familiar with webpages like the Wellesley College alumnae site and then resubmit this discussion to Wikipedia:Categories for discussion.
