Talk:John Henry Poynting

message: Quoting: "Poynting lived at 11 St Augustine's Road, Edgbaston with his family and servants for some years. He previously lived at 66 Beaufort Road, Edgbaston (demolished)..." Why give his residential street addresses, or the fact that one of his residences was later demolished? If these particular houses or addresses are of some other encyclopedic importance, that should be mentioned. Otherwise, just giving the town where he and his family (and servants I guess) lived should be enough for this article. --96.233.85.76 (talk) 10:29, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

message: I was looking for works by Poynting at the Internet Archive, and wondering if they were complete.  The multi-volume Textbook of Physics seems to have had 4 published volumes:  1.  Properties of Matter  2.  Sound  3.  Heat   4.  Electricity and Magnetism:  Part 1 (Static Electricity and Magnetism).    The title of volume 4 implies that a second part, presumably on Electrodynamics, was planned, but as far as I can make out it was never published.  If anyone knows different it would be helpful to know.  Poynting died in 1914, the date of publication for Volume 4, but his co-author J J Thomson lived until 1940.  If, as stated in the article, Poynting was in fact the main author, Thomson may not have wanted to complete the project on his own.2A00:23C8:7906:1301:C9D0:2976:F6AD:7177 (talk) 14:28, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Monomer

message: what are some examples of a monomer?
Seriously, one cannot explain one concept in terms of more advanced concepts.
: It seems that one could define a monomer only in relation to a polymer that is made out of it… otherwise, in all other respects, it's just a regular chemical compound, generally. So, the monomer is a more advanced concept than the polymer. - 92.100.170.239 (talk)   — Preceding undated comment added 17:35, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Talk:John Clive Ward

message: What is the "Internal Revenue Department of HM Treasury"?  "Internal Revenue" - for example, the IRS - is an American thing.
I believe Ward's father was a clerk with the Inland Revenue (see the London Gazette for 2 May 1911, Issue 28490, page 3340).  As Ward's memoirs indicate, his father worked at Somerset House, where the Inland Revenue were based for many years, and his office was evacated to North Wales (Llandudno, I believe) during the Second World War.  
Secondly, Ward's father may have worked for HM Treasury as some point, but the Inland Revenue is not part of the Treasury.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.72.96.20 (talk) 13:35, 13 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:George Nevill, 5th Baron Bergavenny

message: I changed the spelling of "Neville" to "Nevill" at one point, as both were used, which is confusing.  I realise that spelling was not necessarily consistent at that time, but within an article here it probably should be?  Also, although i changed it by dropping the terminal "e", i think we should look at consistancy across articles; the name is spelled "Neville" almost everywhere else in Wikipedia, and this is the usual spelling.  Is there a compelling reason to keep Lord Bergavenny sans "e"? Lindsay H. 09:21, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "...write fluently in Scandinavian and half a dozen other European languages."
Don't think it ever was a language, more like a geographic entity... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.205.103.159 (talk) 17:01, 29 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, no, Scandinavian is not a language. But, as a matter of distinction (and I'm sure a Swede or Dane will argue against this for nationalistic reasons, the languages of Norway, Sweden and Denmark are very similar and mutually intelligible, meaning if you speak one, you will have little to no difficulty understanding a person who speaks the other. Its a bit like saying you speak Austrian or Swiss instead of just saying you speak "German" - your dialect and spelling or grammar points might be different, but communication between these three won't be significantly difficult. I can't remember if the term Sprachtsbund applies here. At any rate, we tend to call Chinese one language, when in fact Cantonese and Mandarin are about as mutually intelligible as African American Vernacular English and Dutch...you'll get about one word in 10 if you're lucky. 
Anyhow, I actually wanted to remark that it seems as though the paragraph discussing his autodidactic abilities with language got split, as a comment about his specialty in Icelandic (the most distantly related languages in the Scandinavian group) is way at the end of the paragraph. So, to make it more functional and comprehensible to the non-linguist, maybe say "Scandinavian languages, especially Icelandic, which was his specialty." Or something to that effect.

message: I have obtained a short (declassified) CV and autobiographical sketch from an archivist at Los Alamos National Laboratory; I have added it to the references. Although this document is not widely available in libraries, it can be obtained upon request from LANL, and as a primary document written by Tuck ought to be included in the references. 
It is clear from the CV that Tuck was never knighted, which confirms my earlier inability to find anything about a knighthood. The only honor listed in this 1974 document is the OBE, received during or shortly after World War II. Professor Szasz's entry in The Atomic West indicated that the OBE was awarded in 1943; however, that date is inconsistent with the primary document I have, which lists 1945 in the CV section but 1944 in the biographical section. Thus, the date of the OBE is uncertain, but almost certainly not in 1943. I have consulted with Professor Szasz, who concurs with this conclusion. Therefore I have removed the 1943 date from the Wiki article and left it out entirely. If anyone has a clever idea please feel free to implement it. Bill Jefferys (talk) 19:20, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:James Franck

message: On the German page about Franck, it says that he married Hertha Sponer in 1944. This would apparently contradict the statement that he left Germany in 1933, "because his wife, Hertha Sponer, was unable to teach in Germany anymore because she was a woman". Instead it says that Franck was Jewish, and in Germany the anti-Jewish "Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service" was passed.
Also interesting (I find): In WW I, Franck volunteered as a soldier and was seriousy wounded by a gas attack, which brought him a military medal.
Finally the motivations of the Franck report are described on the German page as:
he had ethical doubts about his work on the nuclear bomb, which lead him to work together with other scientists on a report to fight against the use of nuclear weapons on Japan.
I don't know, which page is right, but I believe these are contradictions, which should be fixed on either of them.
Klaus
He left Germany in protest of Nazi laws which laid off his colleagues. Franck himself, although a Jew, was exempt because of his service in World War I. He resigned and left Germany both in protest and anticipation of the day that his service would no longer protect him.
