Talk:Charls Butler

message: The original article, entitled 'Rev Charls Butler' was modified to its current form with the editor's admonition 'don't include titles in articles.' Why, then, ? --londheart 23:02, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Loss of title 

message: The more recent entry on Butler was inserted by apiculturists, perhaps on finding that this article's author, a member of the Simplified Spelling Society, had 'stolen their thunder' and got to Wikipedia first. It is a most interesting addition, but clearly fails to do justice to the broad versatility of Butler's undercelebrated versatile and polymathic genius, and to the largely forgotten (at the time of writing) importance of his contribution to the field of modern Natural history in general. Also, the spelling 'Charles' causes confusion with other historical 'Charles Butlers,' is not how the name was generally spelt at that time, the rococo and unnecessary 'e' being conceivably anathema to the early spelling reformer's spirit, memory and following. It also appears to contain a possible apicultural inaccuracy, queen bees being workers by conception, and speaks of 'Butler's orthology' (meaning 'orthography').  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.100.250.217 (talk) 13:25, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Modern girl

message: As a result of reading about this topic for class, I decided to check out the article and found it amazingly short. I've expanded it somewhat, but if there is anyone here who specializes in (or is just interested in) early 20th century Japanese culture, shifting social norms, etc, and can expand on this article, I invite you to do so please. I can try to continue to add things based on what I am reading, but ultimately it is not really the type of thing I am well-versed in, and do not really know how to express it properly. My perspective is very much one of cultural history, and while I can discuss the fashions and such involved, I think someone who is more experienced as a sociologist, social historian, or gender studies person will be able to better describe the significance of the social shifts which this represented. Thank you. LordAmeth 13:05, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Schweizer X-26 Frigate

message: We, Lockheed Missiles & Space Co. acquired three SGS 2-32s (expedited by CNO) for our quick reaction (DARPA/DoD) Quiet Aircraft Program.
 
We modified two of the 2-32s to Quiet Thruster (QT-2) Experimental Aircraft and later to the Prize Crew (QT-2PC and QT-2PCII) configurations. The Prize Crew Aircraft operated in Vietnam most of 1968.
The third 2-32 was modified to Q-Star Aircraft configuration; First with an O-200 Continental Engine and later with a Curtiss-Wright (Rotary Wankel) RC2-60 Engine; An aviation first!
We later acquired more 2-32s and produced 11 YO-3As. The YO-3As operated in Vietnam in 1970-71. Note:The YO-3As are sometimes also (incorrectly) called "Quiet-Star", but we (LMSC and the military) knew them as YO-3As.
X-26 refers to a Navy Program.
The original 2-32s were designated as X-26s
After their military service the Prize Crew Aircraft were transferred back to the Navy (NTPS at Pax. R.). So the X-26 Gliders were re-designated X-26As and our aircraft (with power-plants) were re-designated as X-26Bs
The surviving X-26B (QT-2PC #1)is located at USAAM Ft. Rucker, AL. QT-2PC #2 has been "retro-verted" back to SGS-232 and is operated at Mile High Gliding in Boulder, Co.
We, the Quiet Aircraft Association, Inc. are comprised of former designers, builders, operators, and fans of the Quiet Aircraft.
We know only part of our history at this time, but are seeking, recording, organizing it. 
If you can add to or correct our records please do so in any manner you choose.

:Patent nonsense, but you get to have your say. Please sign your comments next time around. --Thorsen 10:31, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Hello. I completely disagree with the direction your recent edits are taking the article. It is as if the article as it is is trying to "prove" a leftist orientation of Kathimerini, instead of being an encyclopedic article about it and that is in discord with the NPOV policy. For one thing, I do not agree that K has moved to the left. It is as right-wing as ever. For another, K is a big national newspaper that hosts a great diversity of columnists, op-editors and reporters. It is easy to find a few of them that can be labeled as left wingers, and it is just as easy (if not easier) to find hard-line right wingers too. The cases of Delastik and Papakonstantinou are (imho) notable enough as they are both high profile both at the paper and at their party. However they are not the ones that either own the paper or make its alignment decisions. They are not a sign that K has become left-wing, rather that it is large enough to be able to accommodate some left wingers. Anyhow, citing a December 2006 article to demonstrate a leftist shift is an example of recentism, something to be avoided in general, not to mention that the contents of a Russian report are irrelevant to the article about the paper that published an article about the report. --Michalis Famelis (talk) 15:53, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:West Australian Symphony Orchestra

message: Editors interested in this article may be interested in the discussion at Talk:WASO as it has been proposed that the article on WASO (AM) be moved to WASO and the link to the West Australian Symphony Orchestra be dealt with by a hatnote rather than having a full disambiguation page at WASO.  Personally I don't think that was a clear cut case of a 'primary topic' so removed the speedy that would have allowed this to take place and think a consensus needs to be reached.

thread_title: Pronunciation

message: Isn't the location of the end of the oar in the water actually the fulcrum? An oar is a SECOND-class lever, which has its fulcrum at one end, the effort applied at the other, and the load in the middle. Even though the oar pivots in the rowlock, this is not the definition of a fulcrum
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/fulcrum
An oar is no different mechanically to a crowbar being used to raise a load, e.g. a slab of rock. The lower end of the crowbar pivots on the ground, and the load is the weight of the object being lifted. The angle between the crowbar and the slab will change as the upper end of the crowbar is lifted, but that does not mean that the point of contact is a fulcrum.

message: Relocated from the article text: "This article's was originally inserted to recognize an individual who had lived for over a century, and had observed this country through many of its most trying times, This introductory paragraph has been modified from its original content to add the thoughts of an individual who holds more faith in census reports from a sparsly populated SOUTH, in the early 1800's (No television, No internet, No radio, Not much of an organized mail delivery), in a time where most people in the south had little or no faith in the Northern government. However, most of the people who know of this man and the life he lived and people whose life he affected know his claim to be true. Neither his claim or any of the other three claimants (two from the Confederate Army, and one from the army of northern aggression) has been dicredited by any credible source."

message: I feel some mention of the fact that Census records from this era are highly unreliable. I could show a 1900 census record of my great grandfather showing he was 9yo when his first child was born then another census that (correctly) shows he was 19yo, which is approximated from his date of birth. These records were hand written on paper ledgers using fountain pens that were dipped in inkwells and often smeared badly or difficult to read even when the ledge was new, and so much more so about 100 years later when transferred to microfilm, then 50 some years later converted to digital records and often poorly done. It is often very difficult to tell what dates wee carelessly scribbled into the columns and there were several steps in which human error could have occurred. In my opinion the fact that his military pension was granted by the US government for service in the Confederate Army should put any doubt to rest. If one wants to claim someone is a fraud, then you need more proof than a highly unreliable date on a census which even if it is legible on the microfilm doesn't prove the census worker correctly entered it.
