message: I tried to clean up the guest stars list and change it into a "notable guest stars" list, rather than a list of all the guest stars.

Also, there is not a "list of episodes" associated with this series, and I shall create one (I figure this series merits its own page, rather than a list at the end of the original series' episode list).  -Elizabennet | talk 14:05, 4 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Propylene carbonate

message: According to Shaikh and Sivaram's 1996 review of organic carbonates in 1996 (volume 96, page 951-976), the majority of carbonates are prepared by the phosgenation of hydroxy compounds.  I'm aware that the startup company Novomer aims to make propylene carbonate from propylene oxide and CO2 (http://www.novomer.com/our-technology), but as far as I know, the phosgenation route is still the predominant way this compound is manufactured.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Turricanfan (talk • contribs) 17:21, 28 October 2014 (UTC)

message: Reading the article Loanword would be appropriate. Maybe English speakers believe that Antliae is spelled Antliae and pronounced /ˈæntlɪ.iː/ in Greek (?!!), but firstly Antlia is imported via Latin, using Latinized spelling, and secondly in Latin it is spelled /ˈantlɪ.ɛː/, and so Antlia/Antliae is a foreign word, as usual within English a gravely mispronounced one. ... said: Rursus (mbork³) 18:23, 23 September 2009 (UTC)

message: It says:
:It was originally denominated Antlia pneumatica to commemorate the air pump invented by the French physicist Denis Papin.[1][not in citation given]
But the source (Star Tales) doesn't say so. Star Tales, not Lacaille, concludes that the Antlia pneumatica depicts an invention by Denis Papin. The editor who formulated that statement didn't read carefully, but instead jumped to conclusions not claimed by the source text used for the citation. Read more carefully! Please!!

thread_title:  Pronunciation 

message: I revised the paragraph added by  about Allen's account of the history.  In the first place, the suggestion that de Houtman's inspiration came from Chinese astronomy is not Allen's; Allen is simply reporting it, and mentions that it was disputed.  But also, Ridpath does not address this; the referenced chapter simply indicates that Apus (and the other "Bayer's dozen") come from observations of Keyser and de Houtman, who sailed on the same voyage.  BenEsq's source for Allen is a web site by Bill Thayer, who adds the following bizarre note:
:According to Ian Ridpath, Chapter 1 of his book Star Tales the twelve new southern constellations were introduced later than that, and by different people altogether: Blaeu's Uranometria (1603) correctly credits them to Frederick de Houtman, who owed them in turn, however, to Pieter Dirkszoon Keyser, † 1596. (And thanks to Diana K. Rosenberg of Fixed Stars and Constellations for the heads-up.) 
This misrepresents what Ridpath wrote.  Ridpath makes clear that the observations were made separately by both Keyser and de Houtman (who were rivals sailing on the same voyage).  Pieter Keyser was also known as "Peter Theodore", whom Allen does mention, so "later than that" and "different people altogether" are both wide of the mark.  Ridpath writes that we don't know precisely who was responsible for the division of Keyser's and de Houtman's observations into the new constellations displayed on Plantius's globe that appeared very shortly afterward; it might have been any of the three of them, or some combination.

message: I'm leaving this here rather than placing a [clarify] tag so as not to interfere with a GA review, but in the line "including two stars next to each other as Delta and another two stars near each other as Kappa" does "next to each other" mean that they are close in angle as viewed from earth (and if so how close), close to each other in three-dimensional space (and again, if so, how close) or actual binary star systems? —David Eppstein (talk) 00:29, 27 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Lacaille didn't have the means to tell whether stars were at the same distance, so angular separation is all that is claimed.  The two deltas are fairly close (104 arcsec or about 1.7 arcmin); the two kappas much wider (about 38 arcmin).

text: I rephrased this entirely, hopefully it's OK now. As for the specific provinces, this was a phenomenon current throughout the Caliphate (which was never that centralized in the first place), that varied in extent and in the level of autonomy these dynasties enjoyed: the emirates on the Byzantine frontier and in the Caucasus, all internally autonomous but still subject to the Caliph, are one example, while the Hamdanids, practically independent rulers, are another. I really don't feel I can go into too much detail here. The situation should become clear as one reads the article, where the local emirates are left to fend for themselves or operate independently of whatever Baghdad was doing. Constantine   ✍  22:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

text: Again, thanks a lot for your help. Very much appreciated, as it is really hard for me to judge what parts a reader who is not familiar with the subject can understand or not. Cheers, Constantine   ✍  22:39, 21 October 2009 (UTC)

Template talk:Infobox model rail scale

thread_title:  Changes to scale 

message: I'm thinking about adding the following:

So that if a scale is defined by the NMRA or NEM or by an association (like P4 is) we can have a link to that.  Countries modelled would give a quick way of telling where the scale was most used.
Any suggestions for better headings?

Talk:Charter of 1815

message: Is the name “Charter of 1815” widely used in English, rather than the more literal “Act Additional to the Constitutions of the Empire”? I have never heard it in French.
Besides, it is absurd: the name of the Charter of 1814 (the “Constitutional Charter of the French”, to be precise) had been purposely preferred to “constitution” in reference to the “charters” by which the kings of the Ancien Régime granted some liberties to a city, because Louis XVIII wanted to maintain the legal fiction that sovereign power resided with him rather than with the nation and that he had granted it “voluntarily, and by the free exercise of [his] royal authority”. The term makes no sense in the legal lexicon of the Empire.

message: I wonder if anybody who reads this has knowledge of the etymology of the word "rondavel"? It is Afrikaans. "Rond" - refers to its "Round" shape. "Davel" might come from 18th century dutch - Could it mean "small dwelling or house?"
:The Dutch "havel" is the same word as the English "hovel", thus "Rondavel" means "Round hovel" but without the modern pejorative aspect of the English "hovel", it just means very small and simple dwelling. Roger (talk) 21:24, 14 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Etymology

message: 'Rondavel' is NOT an ethnic Bantu name for the huts which they used to construct. These traditional huts were built using poles, grass, laths and had (in some designs) weatherproofed walls constructed of wattle and daub. White settlers in Southern Africa copied the basic design and westernised it by brick or stone walls, cement plaster, concrete floors and glazed windows, and called these rondavels. The design of round huts using local materials is obviously an ancient one - the design crops up in the roundhouses, which the English blithely claim to have invented, and in primitive societies all over the world. The article needs to be renamed as a rondavel is simply a small subset of huts. Androstachys (talk) 21:12, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

message: someone stated to me that this poem is about abortion, and everything described in it is about abortion

It is about young men fighting in war due to war being glamorized and not knowing all the horrors of it. In his explanatory note about the poem, Randall Jarrell explains what it is like in a ball turret and I am sure if it wasn't about a man in a ball turret he would have noted so. --Drkangelcat (talk) 17:46, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
