Talk:Collet Barker

message: Collet Barker has been listed as an explorer of WA? Is this because he hailed from there, or he explored there? I would suggest that unless he explored WA, the cat should be removed.SauliH 07:13, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I think this needs a lot of work, first in its structure.  Barker dies in the second paragraph, and then we have five paragraphs about him at Port Essington, when he was presumably still alive.  And Sturt didn't name Mount Barker after him, someone else did much later.  Sturt was confused about his longitude, and thought it was Mount Lofty he was looking at.

replies: text: *Self-defense is never murder. In this case, against whalers and sealers who had killed and enslaved them. Also, he was military at the time. Deaths of military during recognizance are not murder. In fact, nothing he did meets the usual meaning of explorer. He was a long-time fort commander, using a ship to map inlets. The explorers would have been the whalers and sealers who came before him. His crew was merely mapping, a standard military exercize. Sometimes our article sources are puff pieces, and that POV gets sucked into the articles.William Allen Simpson (talk) 13:50, 23 January 2021 (UTC)

text: *some of these allegedly "murdered" explorers aren't really murdered defined objectively: John Charles Darke killed by Australian or Tasmanian Aboriginal people on whose land he was trespassing; the biography of Paul Crampel doesn't say he was murdered only that he was killed; the biography of George W. Hayward says "Controversy and mystery surrounded Hayward's death." suffice to say that beyond a reasonable doubt standard cannot be overcome; Edmund Kennedy also killed by Australian Aboriginal people on whose land he was trespassing; the biography of Alexander Gordon Laing was "killed" but only conjectures as to cause "He may have been strangled by Tuareg raiders ..." I think that using "murdered" is a loaded term and "killed" should be the norm for all these explorer categories. Carlossuarez46 (talk) 23:44, 26 January 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Lateral motion device

message: Hi!
The statement made about the italian class 640 is partially correct because most of the italian locomotive were fitted with this solution. Named "Carrello italiano" or "Italian truck", it was used in many classes that was placed on 1'..x wheel arrangement. Class 685, 746 and even smaller 740 used the same truck at the front. Bearing for the rods on the first driver where the weak point, because on the typical sharp curves of norther Italy lines wearing was high. 
Further in the years italian rail engineer designed a new wheel arrangment to solve the same issue for electric locomotives: it was the articulated B0'B0'B0' tha was not "dumped" until the late 80' when italian railway design switched to "Pendolino" tilting high speed trains.--Hosdo (talk) 15:10, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

message: "The farther apart the front and rear drivers were, the smaller the radius of curve that the locomotive could negotiate."
I believe this is backwards and should be,
"The closer the front and rear drivers are, the smaller the radius of curve that the locomotive can negotiate."

:Hello. Please remember to sign your name with four tildes (~~~~).
:The reason is that this article is essentially only a recipe on how to make a particular mixed drink. That is against policies here on Wikipedia. That is not to say that the instructions on how to make one are taboo, but the article should provide documented information on the history, notability, and cultural influences of the drink. This article fails miserably in those respects. So, unless someone greatly improves the article before I next revisit it, it will be integrated into the List of cocktails, or some other article that makes sense. This page will redirect to that new location. So, the information will not be lost, but it will not sit here as a blight on the editorial quality of Wikipedia. Hopefully that makes sense.

Talk:List of bushwalking tracks of Tasmania

message: Hello Tasmanian Bush Walkers...
I created this page today, as I thought it would be a great place to build a central knownledge base for bush walks.
My idea for this page is as follows:
This page is to be a list of bush walks / etc, and each one will link to a specific page about that bush walk.  The page describing the bush walk could contain an overview of the walk, variations, directions, and maybe a map, and a few photos.  The idea being that this would end up to be a bit like a bush walking in tasmania reference book.

message: This is a great article, but I think it would be great if it gave a primer on how to solve the equation numerically. Joelthelion (talk) 20:39, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Numerical solution 

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the second index on the metric should be i, not j, inside the derivative. I.e., the equation would read
: \Delta f =\frac{\partial}{\partial \xi^j}\left(\frac{\partial f}{\partial \xi^k}g^{kj}\right) + \frac{\partial f}{\partial \xi^j} g^{jm}\Gamma^n_{mn} =0,
Currently there are two free indices, i,j, in the first term and none in the second term. I believe there should be no free indices since it is a scalar equation.

message: Good faith edit was reverted because punctuation does not match rest of the article. I understand the reversion, but that leaves the original problem: the text is not clear.
 \nabla \cdot is the divergence operator, \nabla is the gradient operator
Until you either describe the dot operator, or show that the dot is part of the "divergence operator", it's just a speck on the screen, and the paragraph is meaningless  unless you already know what it means.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.200.27.15 (talk) 05:49, 08 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: The divergence operator is defined in the sentence as \nabla \cdot and in the link to divergence, just as  \Delta = \nabla \cdot \nabla = \nabla^2 is defined the Laplace operator and in the link. I don't think there will be much confusion unless we insert a lot more punctuation and inconsistency.

Category talk:Military organization

message: Hi -- I set up the category :Category:Military organizations (emphasis on plural) to gather together the widely dispersed organizations relating to the military, and used the simplest available category name, modeled after other names in :Category:Organizations by subject and in convention with plural for categories of things.  However, I recognize that there may be some possibility of confusion with :Category:Military organization -- organizations within the military, the military organization itself, which is itself a topic as well as this category. I've put up notes to try to distinguish, but open up the floor here for other suggestions. Maybe there are other category names that would work better? "Military-related organizations" is another strong possibility; the "*-related organizations" gets used in some subject areas. --Lquilter 17:08, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Translation 

message: The article mentions Trenck's memoirs and a comment that the cuirasses were expensive because they were silver-plated.  From other sources such as Duffy ("The Army of Frederick the Great"), Bleckwenn and Knötel, I had thought that they were simply polished steel (the cuirasses of the other regiments were steel coated with black enamel).  Is that correct that they were silver-plated?
The officers' full kit was indeed expensive, even if the cuirass was only steel, but this was true of Frederick's Garde infantry regiment, and true for most officers throughout the army, if less expensive than for officers of the Gardes du Corps and IR 15.
