Talk:I. A. L. Diamond

message: As a classmate of Iz Diamond at Boys High School
and a fellow member at the Boys High School Weekly
I knew Iz Diamond and, along with others, admired him.
Iz was a mathematical wizard who won the tri-state
mathematical competition (New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut) three years running.  He was a member
of the mathematics team that competed with other city
high schools, hence his choice of I.A.L. standing for
Interscholastic Algebra League. If you have any inquiries
you can reach me at warbler@earthlink.net
Larry Alson
p.s. my understanding is that Iz, at Columbia, read
in the college paper that they were looking for a book
for the college musical. friends say that he stayed up
all night and finished a musical book which was accepted.
he then wrote books for all his years at Columbia.
After graduation he was offered a job as a writer at
a studio (I do believe it was Columbia but I am not sure.)

Talk:Interrupts in 65xx processors

message: I believe the three letter acronym "BRK" is too general to redirect to here, even if it's an assembly mnemonic. In the above section on this talk page, this article was considered a candidate for merging, and it would be even more silly to redirect "BRK" to a sub-section of a microprocessor article.
Perhaps "BRK (disambiguation)" should be merged into "BRK". 104.228.101.152 (talk) 15:00, 25 March 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes it is.  You can fish with a worm for trout, or with a fly for chub or indeed mullet.  Coarse fishing is fishing for coarse fish, game fishing is fishing for game fish – and it just happens that certain methods tend to suit (and in some cases are legal for) the different species.  I've edited the lead para to make this clearer.  Richard New Forest (talk) 13:10, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Til Debt Do Us Part

message: The episode guide is completely wrong. The first two seasons are in alphabetical, rather than in production order or air date. The first episode of the series should be "Drowning in Debt" and season 4-6 only include the names of the people in the episode, not the proper name of the episode. Also, they don't seem to be in actual production order, either.
This is the best episode guide I've found online: http://www.locatetv.com/tv/til-debt-do-us-part/2075110/episode-guide 
Though it doesn't include production codes, it does seem to be in proper order. IMDb also has the first three seasons in the correct order.  Tallin Harperson (talk) 22:14, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Talk:Faber–Jackson relation

message: The theory section is an ex post facto justification of the Faber Jackson relationship that saw some currency in the 1970's after discovery of the relationship, but which is not rigorous nor fundamental. The assumption of constant surface brightness for galaxies is incorrect, in any case.  The FJ relationship is now understood as a projection of the fundamental plane onto the luminosity and dispersion axes.  The FP itself is understood to reflect the virial theorem with an intrinsic relationship between luminosity and mass/light ratio.   In actuality the theory section adds nothing to understanding the FJ relationship and is actually misleading.
Lastly, deletion of this section addresses the "too technical" flag.

message: I created a redirect because the article was nothing more than a plot summary, which violated Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information.  I found no evidence that it is anything more than a short film by an admittedly notable director.  Therefore, the best solution is to redirect to the director's page.  I would not oppose a recreation of the article if it could be written in accordance with Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and if it can be shown that the film is notable beyond being a Jan Svenkmajer film.--FreeKresge 01:36, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

However, the data doesn't seem to match the data on this page, (i.e., Greystone Communications is the production company, Ed Babbage isn't involved). I'm wondering if there are inaccuracies here or there, or perhaps two different shows called "Haunted History" or two different incarnations of the show are confused.

Talk:Mega Disasters

message: Ideally, the episode list should be converted to use the  template. At the minimum, the original air date needs to be known. You can view other program show lists to see how it's used. Andyross (talk) 21:32, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Episode List

message: How about something about actual mega disasters? Of course it wouldn't go here, since this article is about a TV show, but so far this is all we have. Even though I've just seen bits and pieces of the TV show, my impression is that most of the episodes are based on articles previously published in Scientific American. Furthermore, these article were not just written on the spur of the moment, but were typically based on well-researched books or articles published in peer-reviewed journals.
Just to put this in perspective, disasters can be grouped roughly into the following categories:
1. small enough that you can deal with it yourself, e.g., car getting a flat tire
2. big enough that you should have insurance, e.g., house burning down
3. so big that insurance usually doesn't cover it, e.g., tornado - in the USA insurance companies refer to such disasters as "acts of God"
4. "civilization-shattering disasters," e.g. full-scale nuclear war
5. extinction event, e.g. the asteroid that hit the earth about 65 million years ago.
The TV show seems to focus on disasters in the 4th category. What makes such disasters so interesting is that, according to recent scientific discoveries, they are more common than previously thought. Furthermore, this seems to be a valid topic in itself, maybe a subset of risk management. Zyxwv99 (talk) 23:20, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:New York State Route 840

message: NY 840 is marked East-West, but the reference markers count upward from the east terminus, indicating that it's inventoried south to north. Based on that, I did the exit listing, with the two grade intersections at the end, in that direction. I still kept the termini labeled west and east as marked on the route, as I did drive the entire route (in both directions) earlier today prior to creating this article. So, please bear this in mind prior to changing directions, or add comments/questions here.  For what it's worth, Google Earth's pictures pre-date this highway's existence. Fwgoebel 04:26, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the entire article to read east-west since that's how the route is signed in the field and listed in the route log. The traffic counts (which feed off the reference markers) indicate a north-south routing, but since everything else indicates east-west, that's what I went with. – TMF 01:46, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Since I hadn’t done any prior exit listings, I copied from another article (already, I can’t remember which one) and adapted as best I could.

Portal talk:Thailand/randomization enabled version

message: === What is this Thailand/randomization enabled version? ===
This is a mirror page of Thailand portal. They should be almost identical. The only different is that the article section is this page is randomizable, while the default Thailand portal will always show selected article of the month. This is simply to add some interesting features to the portal. Note that to most readers, they might not even notice at all that there are two different pages (which is good, IMO).
=== But why do you have to have this page? ===
At the moment, most portals either have the traditional periodic features (weekly, monthly, etc.) or have the randomization-at-will feature(see portal:cats). I felt that it's much better have both and creating two mirror pages is the simple way to do it.
=== DO's and Don'ts ===
* DON'T redirect anything here. If you want to redirect something to Thailand portal, please redirect to the main default page
* DON'T add a category to this page. This is just a mirror page, please do that to the main default page
* If you are familiar with Thailand-related articles, DO nominate articles or pictures at the main talk page and/or update the portal monthly.
* DON'T update anything here. This mirror page is best left alone. Most of the monthly updates are at subpages and some at the main portal.
* If you are good with coding, DO fix errors, if you find any. 
* DO remember that both default Thailand portal and this mirror page should appear identical to the readers. So if you changed one page's format (i.e. add or remove a section), you should change another too.
