Talk:Etymology of electricity

message: As a scientific topic, this page is already covered by 'Electric Charge'.   The present page is aimed at conceptual problems and semantic misunderstandings regarding the original scientific definition of "electricity" as meaning "charge", as opposed to its definition as energy or electric current --Wjbeaty 01:11, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
Can you highlight terms like this or this or this instead of capitalizing them?  I know the units should definitely be lowercase, but not sure about Electricity or Quantity of Electricity. - Omegatron 17:25, Dec 28, 2004 (UTC)
I like the tone of this page and belief it is making a very important point.
- Learner1111 (talk) 17:53, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

message: I have significant problems with the section "Conceptional problems".  
First, this article makes no mention of the word "electronics", those rather important industrial artefacts which depend for their operation on a mysterious something sometimes in short supply (ask anyone in Africa if "electricity delivery" is a real thing.) 
What makes electronics different from other classes of industrial artefacts?  Mobile charge carriers. So it seems to me simple enough to think of electricity in the main as "the physics of mobile charger carriers".  
Now if historically the word "electricity" has been applied somewhat imprecisely, this is because we didn't have a complete physical analysis (breaking into parts) of the phenomena in hand for a long time.  
I don't agree that the original physical meaning of electricity was "charge", but rather "pertinent behaviour of the charge" (all of which now have better and more precise names), and furthermore meaning specifically the mobile charge, in the same way that a reservoir engineer means by water "free water" almost all of the time, and not the water bound within mineral rocks. 
There it is: electricity is a broad set of phenomena associated with the physics of charge migration, whose analytic properties became increasingly clear with time. What's the big hang up? — MaxEnt 02:55, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: There are multiple claims about how the word electricity was used historically, and how it is used now.  The fundamental problem is not whether the claims are right or wrong, but that it is original research in the form of an essay by an editor.  This either needs sourcing or heavily pruning, or possibly a bit of both. SpinningSpark 23:18, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Corneille (name)

message: Corneille the quebecer singer is not born in rwanda. He was born in Fribourg, Germany from rwandese parents. He also said he was born in Germany on radio show "Les Grandes Gueules" on the "Reseau Energie". The reason for the confusion is probably because his parents returned to rwanda shortly after he was born.

message: It is important to understand that the Rēnāti Chōla inscriptions in Kadapa district (575 CE) are the earliest "long" inscriptions in Telugu, but aren't actually the "first ever writings". 
As of now, we have several individual Telugu words dated till 100 CE and many personal and place names in Sanskrit/Prakrit texts till c.200 BCE. All these must be considered for understanding the antiquity of Telugu language. 
Besides revered linguistics and academicians like FC Southworth, K Mahadeva Sastri mentioned the dating of Old Telugu as c.200 BCE. 
And of course, a language is always older than its writings.

There may have been different expectations of the guard in this train of course, it's not even clear where they were located but it definitely needs an inline citation Nil Einne (talk) 00:31, 14 June 2010 (UTC)

message: This is said in a number of places on Wikipedia, all unsourced. I looked for a reliable source and can find none. There is one book published 2017 that says in an aside "some people believe", however this book post-dates the Wikipedia claims. Many of the "sources" prevaricate this way, "some believe", "many say" etc.. but there is no evidence for it. It looks like there are some similarities between the stories, but that is not the same as being inspired by. It's not uncommon for fictional tropes to overlap unintentionally (see TV Tropes), even uncannily, that are otherwise unrelated. Also according to The Deer Hunter the film was based in part on an unproduced screenplay called The Man Who Came to Play by Louis A. Garfinkle and Quinn K. Redeker, which is sourced. I am removing mention of this "inspiration" until there is real evidence. -- GreenC 19:12, 6 June 2021 (UTC)

I think the reason for the seeming problem is due to the fact that at the time of the Battle of Wilson's Creek, the area of the battlefield was outside of Springfield. Springfield has since grown, and the area of Wilson's Creek has been incorporated later into the greater Springfield area, though it is technically in Republic, I think, which is something of a suburb of Springfield. --Steelviper 18:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Launch sites outdated 

message: I edited the page, removing reference to a hypergolic propellant "Hydrocarbon X", the existence of which I was unable to verify.  Instead, the source assumed to support the use of this propellant instead claims that the propellants used are either WFNA and Turpentine or WFNA and Furfuryl Alcohol. 
The second edit was to remove a reference to WFNA and Turpentine as "green" and "derived from pine trees and quaker oats".  WFNA can't be sourced from oats or pine trees, and the common source for WFNA is from ammonia, which is generally produced using coal or other hydrocarbons.  This part of the article read like a sales brochure, and had factual inaccuracies.  
If a reliable source can be found that confirms Interorbital Systems' claim that their propellants are sourced in a renewable manner, then the article can be amended with the source included, but until then the article shouldn't make any reference to Interorbital Systems' choice of propellants being "green".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zeus Kabob (talk • contribs) 21:59, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
