thread_title: Untitled

message: This is a really long list of films adapted from Curwood's work. He appears to have been unique in this success, but the long list bogs the article down. Perhaps it should be published as a separate page and linked to this article? It is not clear why this list is so long, when the Lead says that at least 18 films were made as adaptations or inspired by his work. Have scholars or fans decided to attribute new films to his work? Rather than having this huge list here, it might be more useful to readers for editors to find content that discusses why Curwood's work was so popular in the early years of the movies; these adventure films span both the silent and talkies eras. The northern frontier was still close to people's experience and dreams of adventure.Parkwells (talk) 16:23, 7 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Liam Ball

message: Will you read the Wikipedia guidelines and stop adding this kind of crap.
Ball presented the famous green Irish Olympian blazer he donned for the games to his former school as a gift. The blazer now rests inside an unlocked glass cabinet in the College. As a result, it is a common trait for poorly-behaved passing pupils to test their nerve and remove the blazer from the cabinet to try it on without being spotted by the school authorities or on the near-by CCTV camera.

thread_title:  how old 

message: A recent edit suggested that it is 40K, not 39K, that is changed to 39Ar during irradiation prior to Ar/Ar analysis for dating.  This is incorrect, and the original version has been reinstated.
The terrestrial 39K/40K is constant for any given point in time, therefore knowledge of the 39K/40Ar can also give the 40K/40Ar.  During Ar-Ar dating, 39K is converted to 39Ar by irradiation with fast neutrons in a neutron capture, proton emission reaction.  I hope this helps. Rickert (talk) 11:40, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, it does help. I wish that the text would mention that and would write out the equation. I guessed that there was proton emission taking place but it is nice to have it in text. Also, more discussion about the nuclear physics would be nice. Does 39 K capture a neutron and turn to 40 K? Does 40 Ar capture a neutron and turn into 41 Ar.

It is the same sort of photo as that on the Virgin site...in any case, it was just mentioned on The Geoff Show and it was mentioned that some Virgin presenters had larger pages than the others, which could suggest that if PR is being undertaken, it is not on the comprehensive behalf of the station.

Talk:White Cliffs Solar Power Station

message: I've added the FIXME note after the mention that the plant was based around a steam turbine - the is not correct and article referencing White Cliffs as having been a steam turbine plant will have to be corrected.
For the period to 1989 the steam generated by the collectors was used to drive a 3 cylinder 2-stroke diesel engine that had been converted to steam using the 'bash valve' principle. The machine had reliability problems due to the contamination of the working fluid (water) with engine's lubricating oil.
A small scale steam turbine would have been much too expensive for the experimental installation and would have required much more attentive control due to the relatively small operating conditions under which a turbine must operate.
: That's a very interesting observation! As is the reference you added: The White Cliffs project : overview for the period 1979-89 / prepared by S. Kaneff.
: The problem is, it's not obvious where to access this paper, or what its credentials are. Is it a published article, or a school project? Did you write it? What is the author's background in any case? 
: That's why I've reverted the article for the moment. Until we have better references, this is hearsay, and we must stick with the account given by the University of Wollongong web page. But it sounds a very credible story to me, and I'd love to incorporate it, and set the record straight. Andrewa 21:24, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Iochroma

message: The sections listed within Iochroma are not supported by the most recent morphological and molecular attempts to resolve species relationships (Smith and Baum 2006) leading to information that conflicts directly with your provided sources...
It would be nice to see direct citations for the notes under the species subheading. Unless I'm reading the Smith and Baum 2006 paper incorrectly none of genera even appear monophyletic. With this in mind it becomes a bit pedantic to make notes about incorrect placement of species and placements of those species in different genera when the position/ identity of those genera is uncertain. Given updated citation provided, the only real taxonomic conclusion seems to be that all these species are members of the subtribe Iochrominae, updating the genera will require following http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Code_of_Nomenclature_for_algae,_fungi,_and_plants and early preserved type specimens for Iochrominae are not Iochroma. This suggests that, pending a petition of IBC, large parts of the subtribe may be renamed as genera (or a single genus) which is/are not Iochroma. Once again, thus making all these little distinctions about proper placement of species within currently defined genera as effectively null  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.93.45.95 (talk) 17:08, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
