Talk:Silent film

message: I remember seeing a TV listing for a silent drama on PBS with the year given as 1986 or 1987.  I'm guessing this was the early 1990s, when I was actively looking at TV listings.  I can't remember the title and have not been able to identify the film.  Everything from that period in the homages section seems to be comedic.  I'm pretty sure this was an art film, and I believe it was made by a woman.--Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 04:40, 4 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Cyrillic script

replies: text: I mean, yeah but some Romanians still use the script, especially in Moldova. I say we should either use the Romanian or a Church Slavonic script. KeymasterOne (talk) 16:51, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Romanian as the example 

message: This article is kind of controversial. Here are the following major issues which I have seen in the article and talk pages. Reply to this to help organize the details. Be civil, but please provide your opinion:
# Cyrill and Methodius - These brothers did not invent the Cyrillic Alphabet, rather it was St Clement of Ohrid. The saints, Cyrill and Methodius invented the glagolitic alphabet.
# Ethnicity of St Clement of Ohrid - He was not Macedonian, although he lived in the modern day territory of North Macedonia, it is very important to note that he lived over 1000 years ago, in the First Bulgarian Empire. "Macedonian" was not even classified as an ethnicity until recent centuries.
# Ethnicity of Saints Cyrill and Methodius - They were born in the Eastern Roman Empire, however they spoke both Greek and Bulgarian, it is believed that they can be both, for example, their father being Greek and their mother being Bulgarian... and for Macedonians saying the brothers are Macedonian, I would like to see good evidence backing that up because this likely isn't the case.

message: Quote:
Connections with electromagnetism
In the 19th century Hippolyte Fizeau developed a method to determine the speed of light based on time-of-flight measurements on Earth and reported a value of 315000 km/s (704,634,932 m/h). 
His method was improved upon by Léon Foucault who obtained a value of 298000 km/s (666,607,015 m/h) in 1862. Kailandosk (talk) 01:06, 18 November 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: There's a definite discrepancy in number of significant digits between the quoted metric and traditional measurements... AnonMoos (talk) 13:10, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed, but the values in parentheses aren't in the article. If we wanted to include them, we could use , which would probably round them appropriately automatically, and wouldn't abbreviate miles to "m" either, but I don't see why we'd want to include such conversions in that part of the article anyway. NebY (talk) 13:46, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the parenthesis. It's just a conversion to m/h that I made, just to show how different they are & to convert it into U.S. terms. Kailandosk (talk) 00:15, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Civil law

message: This page makes a start at identifying various meanings of the phrase "civil law," but it needs more work.  Off the top of my head, I can think of the following possible meanings depending on the context:
* The Continental European legal system, as opposed to English common law-based systems (already listed under Civil law (legal system)).
* The part of the common law that relates to 'civil' cases as opposed to criminal law (already listed under Civil law (common law), although it isn't clear to me whether similar terminology is used in the civil law (first sense) countries.
* The civilian legal system, as opposed to military or martial law.
* The secular legal system, as opposed to religious or canon law.
The last two meanings don't currently appear on the disambig page. Also, to the extent that civil-law jurisdictions maintain a distinction between "civil" and other categories of law, that meaning isn't apparent either.  --Russ (talk) 16:05, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, as a disambiguation page it's not supposed to be "identifying various meanings of the phrase 'civil law'" -- it's supposed to be identifying Wikipedia articles that the user might be looking for when they arrive at this page (either through an "ambiguous" link or from typing in the term). However, if all the other articles are really just variations on a theme, it may be that a real article should be started at this location (which could reference the other articles where appropriate e.g. Storage tank.)

Talk:Fishing hook

message: This article needs sourcing and a bit of taxonomic organization that will encompass all the various permutations of contemporary and historic hook types.  Since there is no official standards body that defines hook types, the most reasonable approach is to employ the taxonomic organization used by large, contemporary manufacturers.  Generally these taxonomies are supported by current literature.  Additionally, a not so minor point.  Fishing hook is a wholly incorrect title for this article.  It should be Fish hook.  A quick perusal of literature and major manufacturers catalogs reveals that fisherman use Fish Hooks and manufacturers make Fish Hooks.  Neither of them are involved with Fishing Hooks.  Unless there are major objections in the next fews days I will accomplish same and redirect this title to Fish hook--Mike Cline 13:23, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Mary-Kate's article:
These are just samples. Sources overwhelmingly discuss the pair together, and that is justified. The twins have done just about everything together, even the awards they received. It serves the readers better to consolidate this information into one (1) article than keep separated as three (3) separate articles with massive overlap. The instances where they did things separately is an exception, and we can still accomodate for that in a combined article when its needed (e.g. Personal Life subsections, Mary-Kate's equestrian career). There is no guideline or policy that states we need separate articles just because they are separate people. TarkusABtalk/contrib 19:51, 27 April 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that there is extreme overlap in the articles, but that was probably done by editors copying sections to the multiple articles unnecessarily.

message: to me, the work Byrne did/is doing on Here Lies Love clearly belongs with the section "Work in theatre, film, and television," not "Other musical contributions". perhaps when Here Lies Love was a concept album that had received one staging. now it seems pretty clearly to be a theatrical production. placing it in the musical contribution section adds ambiguity for no clear reason. this seemed a major enough change to make that i didnt' want to just do it, so i'm curious what others think ghostlight :^) (talk) 18:53, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

message: I've just added some information about Byrne gaining Irish citizenship in 2020. This is something that has been little reported in general, but I was wondering if anyone knows anything about Byrne having Irish ancestry? I would assume he obtained citizenship by descent, as he's never seemingly resided in Ireland, but can find no information on this. Furthermore, Byrne is commonly an Irish surname, and it's definitely not unusual for Scottish to have Irish ancestry. Does anyone know of any sources where Byrne speaks about this?

Briancady413 (talk) 10:29, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Disphotic versus aphotic

message: To what extent is 'epipelagic' a synonym for 'photic' (along with 'euphotic')? It seems like they have heavily overlapping definitions. The fact that Epipelagic is shown under 'Aquatic Layers' as the one and only subdivision of Photic reinforces the impression that they are seemingly the same, but somehow confusingly not. The article should probably address this directly, eh? --Oolong (talk) 22:39, 12 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Ahem... changing my user name to Photic Zone won't do at all. There is some overlap in that both point to much the same zone, but the way the zones are viewed is quite different. The photic zone is the sunlit zone where enough sunlight penetrates for photosynthesis. Aquatic plant life, such as algae, thrive there. The depth of the photic zone varies over the course of a day, and depends on cloud cover and how turbid the water is. I suppose you could argue that at nighttime there is no photic zone. Epipelagic just means surface waters. There is no consideration of sunlight there. However the depth of epipelagic waters is usually defined as about 200 metres, which happens to coincides roughly with the typical depth of the continental shelf and the depth of the photic zone on a sunny day in clear waters. However, the terms are used quite differently. Thus you would talk about algae as needing to live in the photic zone, but fish which live in surface waters are called epipelagic fish, and not photic fish. If you want more complications, there is the neritic zone... --Epipelagic (talk) 00:32, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
