Talk:Against the Dying of the Light

message: I saw this film had been PROD-ed. Since it is certainly a serious film of cultural significance, and important in Jewers' career, available in the National Screen and Sound Archive of Wales and indeed on YouTube, and now cited in the article, I think a PROD not appropriate. Hope this helps! Chiswick Chap (talk) 22:06, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: *Comment: Would an archive specifically for Wales count under WP:NFILM? I know that it's a part of the UK, but not a nation in and of itself. I did remove the other two links to the filmmaker's own site and to a link about the poem and not the actual film.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 04:26, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Why? The filmmaker can be trusted to for facts about his own films - he ought to know, and at this distance in time is very unlikely to have been lying - and he is corroborated by the Welsh national film archive which is certainly reliable and independent. Wales would strenuously insist it is a nation though admittedly not a state, by the way. I hope you shan't mind if I restore the links. The link to the poem is also correct here - it does not establish the film's notability but it correctly shows that the title does come from the poem as claimed in the article (links are for Verifiability as well as other things). And by the way, since I doubt very much anyone would suggest the quotations by Jewers are not of interest in this context, we require the link to his website to establish that he wrote them. Hope this is acceptable now. with best regards as always Chiswick Chap (talk) 08:28, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Dry distillation

message: To me dry distillation and destructive distillation seems to be the same thing. It has been previously stated in the discussion thread of both articles that they are not the same thing (A B). However no explanation or references has been given to back up the statement. Would someone care to explain the difference? Please reply at destructive distillation talk page. --Alf 09:33, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Both dry distillation and destructive distillation are examples of pyrolysis. They are not mass transfer unit operations and should not belong in the distillation category - true distillation is a physical unit operation (mass transfer), while pyrolysis is a chemical reaction. The difference of dry distillation and destructive distillation is that the feedstock of the dry distillation is always solid, while that of destructive distillation may also be liquid or gaseous. In my humble opinion both dry distillation and destructive distillation could both be combined under Pyrolysis.192.100.124.218 (talk) 10:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:The Farnsworth Parabox

message: It seems more likely that the episode title refers to the Fermi Paradox than the explanation given in the article.  Futurama episode titles usually include some alliteration or assonance with the words of the original title.  Although the Fermi Paradox is less closely related to the episode than the epr paradox, it's better known in popular culture, making it a more likely choice for popular media.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.234.164.188 (talk) 05:49, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second Universe Name 

message: Just before Fry and Leela from Universe 1 leave, Fry from Universe A says, "there but for the flip of a coin go you and I."  This is extremely similar to the last line of the song "There but for fortune" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/There_but_for_Fortune_%28song%29) which ends with the line "There but for fortune go you and I."  Moreover, given the consistent references to folk music, I highly suspect that this is in fact an intentional reference to the song.  If anyone can find any reliable source making this claim, it is my opinion that it should be added to the article.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.80.186.130 (talk) 08:26, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:LGB (trains)

message: Dan LeMaire-Bauch points out that “Bahn” does NOT mean “train” in German.  It means “road” or “highway”, as in “Autobahn” (auto road).  “Railroad” in German is “Eisenbahn” (“iron road”).  The word for “train” in German is “Zug”, pronounced “tsoog”.  (Comment added to article by Totalloss (Talk)
:I have removed your comments from the article.  Agreed "Bahn" does NOT mean “train” in German, however I'm fairly sure Bahn can be translated Railway, even if Eisenbahn may be the full word.  --Zabdiel (talk) 15:09, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
Talk:Destructive distillation

message: Destructive Distillation does not mean driving off (and collecting) gas from some matter by heating it in the absence of air.  That definition would also include any number of standard distillation processes, such as the distillation of alcohol, which does not involve destructive processes.
Also, do not attempt to merge this page with dry distillation, they are different things.
What about the destructive distillation of cellulose being a cause of global warming and such? Lawlor421 19:53, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

message: The second bulletted item says that coking typically is at temperatures near 1,000 degrees C.  If one clicks on "Coking", he'd see that this says ". . . as high as 2,000 degrees Celcius."  While this is not a direct contradiction, the difference shows the matter should be looked into.
Furthermore, when one cokes heavy oil, the temperature is somewhere around 500 F (which is 260 C).  The article accessed by clicking on "Coking" certainly does mention that the article so accessed is a discussion of coking coal (not oil).  However, in that second bulletted item, such distinction is not considered, obviously, because 1,000 degrees C is presented and is very wrong for coking oil.
Perhaps the best thing to do is take out the alleged temperature comment.
For reasons I need not state I am going to leave it to others to be more precise, if judged important, than my comment, "somewhere around 500 F."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.42.7.158 (talk) 04:31, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

message: byaah!
I wish that there was some more history of the name== it used to be called Sloat's Landing, and the lake was called Sloat's lake, apparently.
     My Great grandparents lived in Sydenham in the early years of the 20th Century.
His name was Cheshire O'Kell and he and his wife farmed on what I believe is called  
the old stage road.  I may be wrong on that.  They adopted a little girl from the 
Bellville orphanage, who was my grandmother.  Her name was Emily O"Kell.  She went to
school in Sydenham and was Married to James Emburey, who came from England as a 16 year
old and worked off his passage on a farm nearby.
     They had 3 children in Canada, Cecil, Evelyn and Clay.  
Evelyn was my mother.

thread_title: Erica Riggins

message: The site does not behave as a legitimate news outlet.  For example, there are stories on Ron Paul almost every day, often the same (old) story repeated every day for weeks on end, long after it is no longer news.  
A Google smackdown reveals that stories about Ron Paul outnumber stories about Romney, Gingrich, Santorum, or Obama by a factor of 10 to 1.  This does not square with a legitimate news source.  The 2012 presidential primaries are winding down as of April, 2012, and it is clear that Romney will be the Republican candidate, while Paul has no reasonable chance of winning either the primary or the general election. 
Given the bias, the Austin newsroom would appear to have been seized by Paul zealots.  Their editorial policy excludes fair or balanced coverage of, e.g., the 2012 presidential race.  Hence, not a legitimate outlet.  I had assumed it was simply a libertarian front and was surprised to learn it was supposed to be Time-Warner, from which I would have expected at least some effort at balance.
RESPONSE:
YNN Austin IS in fact a legitimate news organization and focuses heavily on political coverage with it's politcal show, Capital Tonight.  The political team prides itself in contextual, local, balanced coverage.  It is true that during the primary season, more focus was placed on Rick Perry and Ron Paul, and for good reason.  YNN Austin is a local news organization and two politicans from Texas were running for president.  
You will also notice that YNN Austin is one of the ONLY local stations devoting resources to comprehensive coverage of the 2012 Republican and Democratic national conventions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.153.226.68 (talk) 21:44, 8 August 2012 (UTC)
