Talk:Carlisle Cathedral

message: This is my first comment on Wikipedia, so I may disobey all kinds of rules, but I wish to object to the inaccuracy of the central paragraph of this article.
Five of the seven bays of the cathedral were actually destroyed by the Scottish Presbyterian Army during the Civil War, to provide stone for the reinforcement of the castle.  This army had even less respect for madieval architecture than Oliver Cromwell himself.  Charles Edward Stuart, whose supporters were Catholic, never did any damage to this or any other medieval cathedral.  After their defeat the Jacobites were held prisoner in the castle, not the cathedral, prior to their execution.
Please check this information against the English Heritage website for Carlisle Castle, and the VisitCumbria website.

thread_title: Aaaargh!

message: In the article's introducton, the term "Flowing Decorated Gothic" is used. However, while the linked article English Gothic architecture explains the meaning of "decorated Gothic", it doesn't elaborate on the exact meaning of flowing decorated Gothic. As it seems, "flowing" might be synonymous to "curvilinear", the latter term being used as opposed to "geometric". Therefore I would like to suggest adding a definition here, e.g. "flowing (or curvilinear) decorated Gothic". 92.79.101.164 (talk) 11:10, 5 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Waiting for My Rocket to Come

message: I haven't the slightest clue if anyone actually reads these things, and I'm by no means a Wiki expert (or member, for that matter), but I thought I'd throw a question out there to the general community nonetheless.  Maybe someone smarter can address it, or just as likely call me a moron.  Either are kosher - I have very low self esteem.
Anyway, I was curious to see the entry for the track 'Sleep All Day,' and upon checking it out, I was redirected to the album page.  If there's no actual article specifically addressing the song itself, maybe the link could be removed for the time being (until or unless, of course, someone should have the ambition to create an entry for it, which I personally do not have).

Talk:Erlang (unit)

message: I've added explanatory text for Extended Erlang B (EEB), which has left me unsure of its relationship to the Limitations of the Erlang formulae. The latter warns of the possible failure of Erlang B and C when congestion is especially high, resulting in repeated retries; but EEB allows for recalls when a caller is blocked.
Does EEB overcome the Limitations that we describe; or is there a point at which congestion becomes so high that even EEB fails? (In the former case, we may wish to move the EEB section after the Limitations one.) NeilOnWiki (talk) 17:54, 9 March 2018 (UTC)

message: Gate's abandonment of his command by fleeing the battle at its pinnacle is legendary, and more importantly, historically documented beyond any doubt.  He fled the battle faster and farther than any American commander before or since, even given the advances of technology and transportation.  Horatio Gates is viewed historically by the British as their best weapon against the Colonials, given his success in discrediting Arnold and targeting and almost removing Washington.
It takes a very, very loyal descendant to Gates to not include this perspective in the article.  Such descendants can only hope readers do not admire the full extent of Gates' treachery and incompetence as documented best in PBS' documentary on the Revolution Liberty!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.11.85.188 (talk) 23:50, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Whether or not a SVCD plays well, or at all, on a DVD player depends on if the MPEG decoding hardware is designed to properly support the format.

I've never seen any of the display problems mentioned in this article on any DVD player I've tried an SVCD in, where the disc would play. Other players just wouldn't recognize the disc.
