Talk:Graduated cylinder

message: I AM REVAMPING MiKE100malloy (talk) 22:52, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  REVAMP 

message: This does not warrant listing as a separate use of graduated cylinders in the lede. That use is explained in the article, and it is not correct to say that the graduated cylinder is used to measured the volume of the object directly. It measures the volume of the displaced liquid. It is still just measuring the volume of a liquid. There are lots of other potential uses for graduated cylinders (drinking beer, holding flowers, replacing measuring cups in the kitchen, etc.) that we don't mention at all in the article, and they don't need to be there. If anyone thinks that "or the volume of an irregularly shaped object" should be in the lede please explain why. Meters (talk) 03:46, 21 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Sidereal day

message: side-real or sigh-der-ial? 86.128.51.192 20:30, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  pronounciation 

message: Previously the article said
"An apparent sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to turn 360 degrees in its rotation; more precisely, is the time it takes the vernal equinox to make two successive upper meridian transits.
...
Midnight, in sidereal time, is when the vernal equinox crosses the upper meridian."
That doesn't make any sense to me. The vernal equinox is a point in time (near March 21), not a physical object that can cross the meridian.
I changed it to say
"An apparent sidereal day is the time it takes for the Earth to turn 360 degrees in its rotation; more precisely, is the time it takes a typical star to make two successive upper meridian transits."
Is "a typical star" OK, or is there some subtlety I'm missing ?

thread_title:  vernal equinox is not a physical object ? 

message: I am still not clear on this: how does one actually measure a sidereal day ? Is it by using a star other than the sun as a reference point ? Is the point of this that there is a discrepancy between the results of that versus using the sun as a reference point ?
Obviously, the solar day will vary between latitudes and times of the year, but if you add up all the solar days in a year, don't they average out to the same as a sidereal year ?
I am trying to grasp this, I really am!
Thanks,
Omega Man 01:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: a sidereal day is simply how long it takes for a planet to spin on it's axis one full rotation. I don't like the fact that they call it an apparent sidereal day. A solar day is how long it takes the sun to reach the same position in the sky. This is variable because not only does it take into account the fact that the earth is rotating, but it's also revolving, therefor the solar day isn't the same ... every day.

Talk:Brown University

message: Hi , please discuss here rather than just reverting without explanation. The two sources given supporting the claim that Brown is “among the most prestigious universities in the world” place Brown between #70 and #80 in the world for international reputation. By that standard, other universities that can claim to be among the “most prestigious” in the world in the lead of their articles also includes Ohio State, Michigan State, Texas A&M, Boston University, the University of Pittsburgh, and Penn State, all of which are ranked higher than Brown for international reputation. While these are all great universities (as is Brown), calling them “among the most prestigious in the world” would be misleading at best, and so the same is true for Brown. —Drevolt (talk) 20:57, 13 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Mysticism

message: Constructionism versus Perennialism is a well-known debate; see the piblications of Katz and Forman. Regarding the references:
* McMahan gives an expose of Perennialism on p.71, and then applies this specifically to Buddhism; it is not limited to Buddhism.
* Horne p.9:  - that's about Perennialism.
Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:58, 2 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: - Horne does not mention perennialism or constructionism - to say he does is an interpretation of his work, not what he actually says - the definition of perennialism is "each of the world's religious traditions as sharing a single, metaphysical truth or origin" - the operative words being "religious traditions" - mystical experiences may include a sense of universality or oneness, but they are not necessarily religious experiences, although often in a religious context - so to equate mysticism and perennialism is incorrect - perennialism is specifically about religion, mysitcism may be outside religion - cheers - Epinoia (talk) 16:55, 2 January 2019 (UTC)

message: Greeting, There is more than one issue. The article is included in a category "Articles with unsourced statements from December 2013" which fails the B-class criteria. The extensive "References" with 12 subsections might be a little overboard.

Talk:Esther

message: well, the Xerxes article mentions the connection, the Artaxerxes one doesn't. What is the basis for either identification? The Herodotus reference of course relies on the identification with Xerxes. dab (ᛏ) 07:36, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The identification with Xerxes I is based on the fact that the most plausible explanation of the name Ahasurus is that it is derived from Khshayarsha as is Xerxes. Xerxes II is too late therefore Xerxes I. Artaxerxes II based on the fact that the Septuagint version of Esther calls him Artaxerxes as does Josephus plus the description of the extent of his empire which doesn't fit Artaxerxes I.

replies: text: Besides these most popular identifications there are several other theories including identifications with various Cyaxares, Cyrus, Camyses, Darius, Arses etc. The information from Greek historians is problematic and is by no means certain that they name the kings consistently, one historians Artaxerxes III appears to match anothers Artaxerxes II for example (can't remember the details off hand) the bottom line is that not enough information is known to be certain about which king was which in Greek sources let alone which king matches Ahasuerus.

Talk:Max Stirner

message: A reading of The Ego and His Own reveals a treatment of topics overlooked in accounts of it by anarchists influenced by Stirner. I recall passages describing the purported development of the human race in which I seem to remember phases associated with races described in such terms as "Mongol" and "Negro". Rudolf Steiner, whom, Stirner influenced, describes human spiritual development in similar terms. For completeness, the article should include Stirner's racism, which his admirers choose to ignore. 12:27, 3 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I would take a look at this section of Apio Ludd's introduction to the The Ego and His Own, which addresses the passages you're talking about directly. Ludd saysThe apparent racial hierarchy found in the perspective Stirner was mocking comes straight out of Hegel (though Hegel, like most of the progressive thinkers of the time, did not understand race biologically and assumed all humanity could eventually achieve the progressive transformation in which he believed), and Stirner’s mockery is a delightfully politically incorrect joke on the cultural hierarchy Hegel assumed. Stirner’s playful argument is that, even if you assume that there is a history that progresses, by Hegel’s own logic, you have to end up back at egoism. All that progress won’t bring us anywhere else... And his attribution of “Mongolism” to his German contemporaries shows that even one of his tactics for avoiding the censors (using “China” or “Japan” instead of “Germany” whenever he was making a critical reference to the German authorities of his time) was part of the joke. Now, I haven't read Stirner myself, and it's not immediately obvious that Ludd's interpretation is more (or less) trustworthy than your own. But it does seem like multiple people can read the same passages in The Ego and come to different conclusions about whether Stirner was a racist (Ludd would argue Stirner is mocking the racist views you're attributing to him), so reliable secondary sources seem necessary for the inclusion of your interpretation in the article.

Talk:Antonio de La Gándara

message: We're being very inconsistent with his name.  The title is "de La Gandara".  The lede, however, starts out as "de la Gándara".  We then refer to him as "La Gandara" (no accent on the first a), but in the next sentence as "Gandara".  In the para that starts "Gandara illustrated a small number of publications ...", he's also referred to as "La Gandara", then as "Gandara" again.  The next para has a similar issue.
So, is it:
* A: Antonio de La Gandara (in which case his surname is La Gandara)
* B: Antonio de la Gandara (in which case his surname is Gandara)
* C: Antonio de La Gándara (in which case his surname is La Gándara), or
* D: Antonio de la Gándara (in which case his surname is Gándara)?
The sequence of references in the text is A-D-A-B-B-B-A-B-B-A-B.  The photo caption is version D.
External sources are not much help, as all 4 variants are found.  We need to decide which variant is the one we want to use, and stick to it consistently.  
Fwiw, I'd suggest the La (capital L) is part of his surname for sorting purposes.  The only thing I'm not sure of is whether the a acute applies.  That would have been the original Spanish spelling, but he was French.  --  JackofOz (talk) 08:25, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, he was French, born in Paris. This accent in his surname makes no sense in French at all. Four years later you decided to move to the current title (with acute accent); you decided for this move based on what? if you don't have a strong argument in favor of the accented version, I'll suggest returning to the previous title. —capmo (talk) 23:04, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Crystalline forms of steel, 2 or 3? 

message: According to another article, electrical steel is an iron-silicon alloy with extremely low amounts of carbon - .005% or lower. My understanding is carbon has to eliminated from electrical steels, so I wonder if it isn't steel in the usual sense - an iron-carbon alloy.
This article discusses ultra-low carbon steels, also known as deep drawing steel. Sometimes phosphorus is added to help reduce carbides and nitrides and to increase strength.
Is it just common usage to describe an iron-silicon alloy or an iron-phosphorus alloy as a "steel"? Perhaps it's technically incorrect to do so. Or does the lede for this Steel article need to define steel a little more broadly? Should the lede say something like "Steel is usually an alloy of iron and carbon..." or perhaps "Steel is an iron-based alloy. Many varieties of steel have been created to achieve a range of desirable properties. Most steels include carbon for improved strength and fracture resistance compared to other forms of iron".
Should there be a section in the article on "ultra-low carbon steels" that includes electrical steel and DDS?
There is no link to the article on Electrical steel from the article on Steel. Should there be?
