thread_title:  Can created List of longest streams of Alaska? 

message: The lists include a note about the longest river "entirely within" each state. An IP editor recently changed the entry for New York for the Mohawk river to the Hudson river.  At issue, it appears, is whether "entirely within" a state means "having both banks in the given state throughout its entire length" (which would be the Mohawk) or "never having both banks outside the given state" (which would be the Hudson). I have no opinion on this issue, other than thinking that the same definition should be used for every state and that it would be best if the difference between these two were clarified.

message: The article states: "In Minnesota, the Builder is expected to return to Saint Paul Union Depot in November 2013, 41 years after it last served the station the day before the formation of Amtrak."  The line is grammatically awkward.  Also, Amtrak was formed on May 1, 1971.  Did the Empire Builder stop serving Saint Paul Union Depot the year Amtrak began?  Plus, it should be 42 years, not 41.  Finally, the reference provided at the end of the statement doesn't support the statement.  I don't have enough expertise in this subject to fix this.  Thanks.

thread_title: Untitled

message: It seems ridiculous for this article to be entitled "Midwest Bank Robbers."  While the FBI may have chosen to reference this case by that rather banal title that could be applied to doubtless scores of other cases, at the time the crimes were being committed, they were widely reported to be the work of "the Aryan Republican Army," and the robbers perceived themselves to be operating in the capacity of members of the Aryan Republican Army.  It seems the only purpose calling this article "Midwest Bank Robbers" could possibly serve, is in order to make it difficult for people interested in the Aryan Republican Army to be able to find the article.  I can't imagine any person sitting down and typing "Midwest Bank Robbers," in the hope of finding the information this article contains, while I'm sure many people have been surprised to type in "Aryan Republican Army," only to discover there is no Wikipedia article about that organization.  Actually, there is such an article, but it has been ridiculously given the wrong name, whether out of ignorance, or (as I suspect) PC sensibilities gone wild.  I shall be changing this soon, I imagine (but not until I find some additional evidentiary citations with which to beef up this article overall). KevinOKeeffe (talk) 01:37, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Peter’s name was changed to Donna long after being imprisoned. By referring to Peter as Donna throughout makes it seems like a woman was the leader of the Aryan Republican Army. As this was not the case the article is misleading and confusing. Whatever this person’s concept of their true authentic self was at time they committed  the crimes they were convicted of, no one referred to them as Donna. 
I think the article would be better to just refer to “Peter (now known as Donna)”, acknowledging their change of gender without changing history. 72.132.38.106 (talk) 04:08, 20 August 2022 (UTC)

Template talk:Chinese Emperor

message: Recent modifications included not just extensions to the template, but incompatible changes that broke a number of pages which are using this template.  Perhaps the recent changes were necessary, but as a matter of procedure, it might be good to have some discussion first.
Regarding the specifics of the current revision, I think it is too simplistic.  The template seems to suggest that there is a neat correspondence between the reigning person, the name of their reign or era, dynasties, etc.  This is often the case, but not always.  For example: the Zhengtong Emperor and the Tianshun Emperor of the Ming Dynasty are the same person and the dates of his reign are not contiguous; before the Ming, many emperors used more than one era name, e.g. Tang Gao Zong more than a dozen; Hong Taiji ruled both the Later Jin dynasty and the Qing dynasty; etc.  If the template should be applicable to all Chinese emperors (perhaps that not possible, though), some flexibility and greater generality is required.

"After the death of his mother, however, it was rumoured that the Raja Muda, the future Sultan Iskandar, went around Johor to slap people who did not wear a black band on their sleeves or white band on their songkoks, a sign of respect for the royal deceased."
From what my Johorean friends mentioned, I was aware of this incident as I was working in Johor at the time of the incident. Nevertheless, however tempted we want to put up facts, I would encourage that we can cite credible sources--books or newspapers--as per Wikipedia:Reliable sources.

Talk:Dynamic range

message: (this is my first time contributing, so be easy on me, but feel free to correct me)
I was wondering, since the defintion says "ratio between the smallest and largest possible values of a changeable quantity", doesn't that mean dyn. range is almost always infinite? For analogue quantities noise can be seen as a lower boundary, but theroetically many variables aren't limited upwards.
So my suggestion is that it should say "smallest and largest occurring values...". Xanadooo (talk) 23:08, 21 February 2010 (UTC)

message: While the original source for Vision3 having 13 stops of dynamic range may be invariably lost (indeed, the link isn't even available on Wayback), there's now this statement by Kodak on their website, according to which, 10-bit scanners (per channel, thus making it 30-bit overall) are not capable of capturing the full dynamic range of Vision3, and that it requires rather 16-bit scanners (per channel, i. e. 48-bit overall) instead. Now, while our article on color depth states that such represents a range of c. 282 trillion colors (and that even the best sensors of digital cameras don't go higher than 12-bits per channel), it doesn't give us a formula to convert number of colors into stops of dynamic range.

replies: text: Each stop is a doubling (or halving) of light so stops are directly relatable to bits. The way you're counting bits for dynamic range is incorrect; you just count one of the color channels: A 10-bit scanner is 10 stops. A 16-bit scanner is 16 stops. The original claim of 13 stops dynamic range is consistent with the scanner information. This source indicates film negative is 12-15 stops but once you've done something useful with it, you're down to 6-8 stops. Conventional video and digital images are 8 bits.
