Talk:Cardiff Film Festival

message: According to the about section on www.theciff.co.uk, the Cardiff International Film Festival was "founded in 2016." This article, citing no sources, states that it was started in 1989. Clearly, there is an archived link showing some activity in 2006, but this needs some real citations so I put the tag on the page. Not sure what else to do right now, but it's on my watchlist and I'll work on it, but how do I let others know this needs help. Kire1975 (talk) 03:32, 5 October 2021 (UTC)

The quotes that she removed and she feels should be substantiated are directly out of a Washington Post article on Rick Bragg.  This seems to me to be substantiation.

message: Ms. Hesser wrote an article on a kitchen knife maker from Ashland, Oregon named Michael Lishinsky of Wildfire Cutlery in the spring of 2001. When Mr. Lishinsky sent her a set of knives in appreciation for the story , they were sent back with a kind note stating that it would not be appropriate for her to accept them . The same thing happened when i sent her a wedding gift a few years later. So no controversy here, thank you . If only we could can some of her integrity and ship it every politician and bussiness man around the world  , this would be a much healthier place . Thank you Amanda !

Talk:João de Barros

message: I see an infobox was added in order to highlight he was Captain-Major of the Gold Coast (and, apparently, mistakenly attributed to Manuel I, although Manuel was already dead; Barros was an appointee of John III, whom he had served as a wardrobe-page in their boyhoods and was a close confidante; John III sent out a lot of his close servants to the overseas colonies in 1522 to "announce" the change of regime.)  But is it even worth noting this in the infobox?  His fame is primarily as a historian, a chronicler and man of letters, not a state officer.  And, even so, he held far more important offices, e.g. factor-major of the Casa da India and donatary-captain of Maranhao (northern Brazil).  His spell on the Gold Coast was youthful and uneventful. (Indeed, it is barely even mentioned in the body of the article). 
I don't mind if a "succession" box for Captain-Majors of the Gold Coast is added at the bottom of the article.  But I don't think the infobox should be dedicated to it.  It should highlight him as a writer. That is what he is famous for. Walrasiad (talk) 22:33, 1 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Gettin' a date

message: I read about COGLAG being built into the latest Japanese Destroyer, the Asahi Class.  Apparently there is also a competing system called the COGLOG.  The COGLAG seems to be preferred and according to this paper from a USN officer, it would work well in future versions of the DDG-51.http://web.mit.edu/2n/Abst-ExecSum/2009/Conversion/DDG51 COGLAG.pdf
The COGLAG is referenced three times in WIKI now!  Once in the Atago Class "Design" section (paragraph eight with a dead Link), and twice in the List of active Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force ships "Future..." section (paragraphs one and seven, the latter also with a dead Link). 
Since the existing Atago Class already has a COGLAG system and the Asahi Class is being built with a COGLAG system for commissioning in 2018, it is probably time for a new WIKI page.  
One nice thing about the article I referenced from MIT is that it includes the needed diagram (for COGLAG).  It is also only part of a more extensive article, which may go into COGLOG as well.  Furthermore, it seems to be an open source!
(Note: this weblink opens automatically in an Adobe Acrobat or Adobe Reader page.  If it does not work immediately, just cut-and-paste to the address line in your browser because the link requires the final "COGLAG.pdf" (WIKI seems to move this part out) as part of the address line in your browser!)

thread_title:  Photos 

message: This article should be updated to reflect that the following products have been removed from the ration book (sugar, soap, toothpaste detergent) [1] [2]. As it stands, Raul Castro has repeatedly conceded that the ration book is no longer sustainable in terms of cost and should be kept only for the poorest of the island's poor (elderly, disabled, et cetera). In fact, having experienced the sight of grocery stores fully stacked with groceries with no trace of food shortages, I've always believed that food rationing for everyone is a rather antiquated practice because food rationing was often done in wartime or in times of food shortages under communism. Since Raul Castro's reform endgame is to make his country's economy productive, I've always believed that Cuba is making the right choice to gradually dismantle the rationing system because it's not only unsustainable economically, it was only intended as a temporary measure in response to the food and soap shortages created by the US trade embargo against Cuba.
If Raul Castro abolishes the dual currency system and increases the average state salary hundred-fold, then everyone in Cuba who does not have to rely on the rationing system will be able to purchase the basic necessities to feed themselves.

Talk:Balanced fabric

message: I believe that balanced plain weave and even-weave are the same things, and could be merged into a more general article called "Balanced fabric" or "Balanced weave" so that it also includes non plain weaves such as balanced twill. Does anyone have any input on how/whether they should be merged?
Quick google searching leads me to believe that "even-weave" is more of an embroidery term (to refer to the background material), whereas "balanced plain weave" is more of a weaving term. Both seem to mean fabric where the warp and weft are the same size and have the same spacing.
I checked my collection of weaving books, and they all mention "balanced" weave:
*In The Structure of Weaving (1982), Ann Sutton discusses balanced cloth: "The same sett, with the same yarn in warp and weft produces a balanced cloth. When the setts are unbalanced the behaviour of the cloth and often its colour are affected."
*In Inventive Weaving on a Little Loom (2015), Syne Mitchell discusses the "face" of woven fabric: "warp-dominant fabric", "weft-dominant fabric", and "balanced fabric".
* In New Key to Weaving (1957), Mary E. Black discusses balanced weaves as a subset of plain weaves, and also refers to them as "50/50 plain webs". She contrasts this with "unbalanced weaves in which warp and weft differ in size".
*When talking about plain weave, the "Basic Weaves" article on Encyclopædia Britannica states: "When warp and weft yarns are approximately equal in size and quantity, the finished fabric is balanced and potentially stronger than cloth made of the same kind and number of warp and weft yarns in any other basic weave."
