Talk:Two Essays on Analytical Psychology

message: I've turned this redirect page into a brief discussion of the book, hopefully with "hooks" to let others expand it. It shows how the book fits into the series, briefly discusses its contents, and contains links to detailed online abstracts of every chapter, and to the book's entries in the catalogs of Princeton University Press and Routledge. In my experience, it isn't easy to find this material on one's own. I'm planning to do this with other books in the series, and would appreciate comments about that project. With luck, I might be able to do one book per day. Lou Sander (talk) 14:56, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

message: Hello. I noticed that instead of a summary that this page just had the titles of the chapters listed in a paragraph. I added a summary that is a major distillation of the online abstracts in the link provided.

Talk:Ubique (poem)

message: I deleted the sentence with the attached reference: 
:Although the proper pronunciation is OO-bik-way, the meter of the poem suggests Kipling pronounced it oo-BIK-we
In Classical Latin, the word scans as ˈŭbīquēˈ - therefore, the accent is properly placed over the long ˈiˈ of the penult (i.e., oo-BIK-we).  Whoever wrote the reference to which this page linked was mistaken.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.247.40.69 (talk) 13:56, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Count Cassius

message: Is it possible that Cassius was a member of the Roman gens Cassii? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.35.84.36 (talk) 20:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Count Cassius, possibly of the gens Cassii? 

message: The present article reads as follows:
"Count Cassius converted to Islam in 714, shortly after the Umayyad conquest of Hispania, as a client (mawali) of the Umayyads; his family came to be called the Banu Qasi (Arabic: بنو قَسِىّ‎, the "sons [or descendants] of Cassius"). Cassius had converted at the hands of the Arab, Hassan ibn Yassar al-Hudhali, qadi in Zaragossa at the time of Abd ar-Rahman's arrival in the peninsula, as a means to preserve his lands and political power".
The two sentences are in open contradiction as Abd ar-Rahman I arrived in Spain only in 755, or fourty-one years after 714!  The second sentence seems therefore to need some correction.
--W.ehrlich (talk) 21:29, 4 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Probably, but it could also be a problem with conflicting sources: the tale of Cassius was not recorded until centuries later and in a propagandistic atmosphere that leaves the whole thing suspect, so it could be that the second is more accurate but someone decided it would make a better story had he converted earlier. I will have to see what the sources say about it. Agricolae (talk) 22:00, 4 July 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Imprisoned with the Pharaohs →  – This article was moved without consensus in 2014, after it was listed as a good article. Almost all of the sources listed in the article primarily use the old title to describe the text. Both of the sources in the further reading section do the same. I searched for additional sources on JSTOR and found that "Under the Pyramids" returns more results than "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" does. Several of the results for "Imprisoned with the Pharaohs" mention it as an alternative title. Furthermore, most of the recent publications appear to use Lovecraft's original title. ―Susmuffin Talk 07:45, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Buzz Saw Falls

message: To the PROD nominee:  Could you explain your rationale in more detail. You cite notability concerns, but this does not stroke well with the assessment "This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the importance scale" - presumably carried out by people more knowledable on amusement rides than you (and I for that matter).  Your other concern: "Is there any chance this article can be expanded, or are we at a dead end here?" has an air of WP:CRYSTAL - in principle applicable to any stub, unless you would have a specific concern here.
Wiki has several other articles on amusement rides, and unless there is a policy that articles are deleted when the amusement ride is closed or undergoes major revamp, I see no reason why this historical info should not stay.

replies: text: Well, I think it's an article whose time has come. There's some background info that probably SHOULDN'T be absorbed by the AX page.

replies: text: While this is a niche topic, I found this article interesting and informative.  I worked at some of the early anime conventions, and it's nice to read about their history.  I can see the argument that perhaps a single, small convention doesn't merit its own article.  But as the direct ancestor of some of the largest anime conventions, I think it merits documenting.  If the decision is made to drop this article, I hope the information will be integrated into another article. -- Seitz 01:00, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Understanding Poetry

message: I'm concerned that much of this article appears to be very close paraphrases of the original subject. Could this perhaps be addressed? RomanSpa (talk) 07:40, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Paraphrases 

message: The detailed division of the section delineating the book's contents is unnecessary and should probably be eliminated. As it is, there are sub-headings with nothing under them, and if all of those were filled out, the section as a whole would be much too long. I have eliminated the last sub-heading, which referred to the index, since that was the only one which contained obviously gratuitous information, but since I haven't actually read Understanding Poetry and thus don't know what deserves to be kept and what sub-headings might be appropriate, I'm afraid to tamper with the rest. But someone else familiar with the book should definitely do so.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wolfinator` (talk • contribs) 23:05, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Longitudinal mode

message: English needs some improvement 
I have suggested some improvement as detailed below (mostly highlighted by italic font).
A longitudinal mode of a resonant cavity is a particular standing wave pattern formed by waves confined in the cavity. The longitudinal modes correspond to the waves of wavelength that are reinforced by constructive interference after many reflections from the cavity's reflecting surfaces. All other waves of wavelengths undergoing destructive interference are suppressed.
A longitudinal mode pattern has its nodes located axially along the length of the cavity. Transverse modes, with nodes located perpendicular to the axis of the cavity, may also exist.
A common example of longitudinal modes are the light waves inside a laser cavity. In the simplest case, the laser's optical cavity is formed by two parallel plane (flat) mirrors with gain medium between them (a plane-parallel or Fabry-Perot cavity). The allowed modes of the cavity are those where the mirror separation distance L is equal to an exact multiple of half the wavelength, λ:
: L = q \frac{\lambda}{2n} 
where q is an integer known as the mode order and n is the refractive index of the gain medium.WingkeeLEE 07:21, 9 June 2007 (UTC)

message: I have just changed the equation for the longitudinal mode-spacing in a composite cavity from this:
:\Delta \nu = \sum_i \frac{c}{2n_i L_i} = \frac{c}{2}\left[ \frac{1}{n_1 L_1} + \frac{1}{n_2 L_2} + \frac{1}{n_3 L_3} + \cdots \right],
to this:
:\Delta \nu = \frac{c}{2\sum_i n_i L_i} = \frac{c}{2}\left[ \frac{1}{n_1 L_1 + n_2 L_2 + n_3 L_3 + \ldots} \right].
To see why the second version is correct just consider an evacuated cavity (n = 1) as being composed of two sections, each of length L/2. The first equation gives a mode-spacing of 2c/L, while the second gives the correct value, c/2L.
