Talk:Reflex sight

message: * I fully intended to move the RDS talk page over to this "new" entry, but apparently screwed up the process. There wasn't much on it, but I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to deep-six those discussions intentionally. --Skidoo (talk) 15:29, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Red Dot Sight Talk Page 

message: The scope of this article is too narrow, I guess because it is a convert from "Red Dot Sight". Reflex sights - some sort of beam splitter/mirror reflecting a collimated reticle at infinity into the observers eye covers everything from camera viewfinders to HUDs. The article needs the following cleanups:
* This article and Reflector sight need to be merged in some way. The terms are synonymous with "reflector sight" google testing slightly ahead of "reflex sight". Merger could go either way.
* The firearm material in this article should become a sub heading, not the prime focus.
* The firearm material is a bit too detailed straying into WP:NOTTEXTBOOK, uses un-cited weasel words such as "preferred" and "many", and the more general descriptions cover all types of reflex sights.
* The lead of this article is buried, the text under "Operation" (with some modification) is the real lead description/definition per WP:MOSBEGIN- i.e.:
:: "A reflex sight is a sight that combines refractive and reflective elements to presents the observer with a image such as a reticle superimposed over a distant "target". They work by using an optical collimator to create a collimated image of a luminous or reflective overlay image or reticle, and reflect that image off a  dichroic mirror or beam splitter to allow the observer to see the image superimposed in the sight's field of view in focus with no parallax from close range up to infinity".
* The description of an "occluded" sight seems to be another type of sight , a “Collimator sight” per Elementary optics and application to fire control instruments By United States. Dept. of the Army. 
“Elementary optics and application to fire control instruments By United States. Dept. of the Army” also gives a good overview definition of a Reflex Sight. Fountains of Bryn Mawr (talk) 15:27, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Amon Liner

message: Wikipedia has a robot called 'SmackBot' that is used to check ISBNs. This robot noticed that the ISBN supplied for 'Rose' was not valid (checksum failed) which you can verify by typing 0932112092 into the test box at isbn.org/converterpub.asp.  It turns out that the book was published using this invalid ISBN (confirmed using Library of Congress catalog). Since it is a lot of trouble to manually track those ISBNs that have problems which cannot be fixed, I have begun replacing these with 'No ISBN available'.  Should the book be re-issued with a valid number, please update the article accordingly. EdJohnston 15:58, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Snapper (film)

message: In the film version, Sharon stumbled out of a party at a large hotel and made her way to the car park and stood next to a car. After George Burgess noticed her being clearly in a stupor, he asked her, "Are you OK, Sharon?". Sharon then said to herself aloud, "a man". She then flung her arms around Mr. Burgess and pulled him down on top of her on the bonnet of the parked car at which point they engaged in sex. After the deed was done, Burgess walked off. Sharon then said aloud "Who was that?", indicating that she was so drunk she didn't know what she was doing, or at least with whom she did it.
The Snapper was a largely funny film, perhaps for adults only, but still a feel-good story in the end. None of the scenes should be considered violent or criminal.2A02:2454:9875:1E00:456E:5CAE:EE14:514E (talk) 14:44, 31 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Caprica (fictional location)

message: Right now, there's a mess of disambiguation pages for "Caprica". This one purports to be a disambiguation page but looks more like an article... The encyclopedic content doesn't really belong on a disambiguation page. The 4 "Caprica" uses referenced here are all already referenced on the main disamb page. The "Planet Caprica" article has the same problems as this one, minus the two cities (which don't even have articles yet). I'll try to tackle that one in a bit. For now, I'm replacing this page with a redirect to Caprica (disambiguation). -- Fru1tbat 16:40, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Vinnie Vincent Invasion

message: Regarding the following statement from the article:
This album featured one of the group's best-known hits, "Ashes to Ashes," as well as a song called "Love Kills]," 
As far as I know, "Ashes to Ashes" was not released as a single.  This statement appears to be from an author's personal preference as opposed to providing accurate facts.  He also plays down "Love Kills", which WAS a single, and a very high-profile one at that, since it was tied in with the soundtrack for "A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master".  Another official single from the album was "That Time of Year".  
Also, the references for this article are unclear.  It's hard to tell if much of this article was pulled from the "Headbangers" book in the reference section (there are no footnote numbers tied to this book), or if most of the content is just hearsay.

Talk:1994 Japanese Grand Prix

message: I think the Notes section is a bit misleading - while Michael Schumacher completed the second half of the race 4 seconds quicker than Damon Hill, by definition Hill completed the 50 laps quicker than Schumacher. Otherwise, he would not have been declared the winner.

message: Just to clarify my correction. Listing the rectus muscle as a border was from a low quality source. That information is incorrect. Referring to any surgical text, or any surgeon, the definition is technically that the lateral border of the rectus sheath is the medial border of the triangle.

Talk:Giovanni Botero

message: The introductory paragraph is extremely contentious and should be completely rewritten.
  
(1) In De regio sapientia, Della ragion di Stato, and Relationi universali Botero did argue against Machiavelli's "amoral political philosophy," but what is meant by "because it simply did not work"?  The dominant scholarly understanding (cf. Tuck, Burke, Meinecke, Viroli, etc...) is, in fact, that Botero - despite his anti-Machiavellian (and Tacitean) posturing - incorporated much of Machiavelli's approach to politics into his own political thought (particularly in Della ragion di Stato).  
(2) Aquinas may have influenced Botero, but there were certainly many other equally noteworthy influences, both ancient (Aristotle, Cicero, etc.) and contemporary (Bodin, Lucinge, etc.).
(3)  Why is Botero's conception of the relationship between ruler and subjects "more sophisticated" than Machiavelli's?  This is quite vague.  Even if one agrees that a conception that would "give the people more power in the political and economic matters of the state" is inherently more sophisticated (than one that does not, I suppose), plenty of scholars would argue that Machiavelli (particularly in the Discourses on Livy) conceptualized a very robust role for "the people."  Indeed, Botero was a monarchist who supported the universal imperial rule of the Catholic Church, while Machiavelli is usually considered (arguably, of course) to have been sympathetic to republican values.
(4) Botero's understanding of the importance of economic matters for the maintenance of a state does distinguish him from Machiavelli and may have foreshadowed later liberal thinkers, but not in the way suggested here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Billykwan (talk • contribs) 12:42, 4 September 2010 (UTC)
