Talk:Original Oratory

message: It seems too informal, especially in the last section. I don't have enough experience to fix it well, but maybe someone with more knowledge about the topic could fix the informality. Also, as far as I know, there has been no nationwide shift to oratory being humor only. I see mainly serious oratorys as it talks about earlier. NeSS 18:07, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It also seems the last section directly contradicts the last section in regards to the content of an OO.  I too have not seen a shift toward only humourous Oratories.  I've added a  tag to the article Gsham 13:24, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:United States territorial court

message: Why is it that Puerto Rico's courts are artice III courts and not article I courts like the other territories? --Jfruh (talk) 18:21, 2 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A special statute was passed in 1966 granting life tenure to the judges of the United States District Court for the District of Puerto Rico.  This was deemed appropriate in light of the court's caseload and the conferral of Commonwealth status on Puerto Rico.  No similar statute has been passed for the three insular territories that still have Article I status, though there have been calls from time to time that these judges also deserve the protection of life tenure.

Talk:Acre-foot

message: "So Acre feet is specifically used to define a yearly usage of water. It is not a appropriate unit to define a monthly consumption?"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.55.149.108 (talk) 22:22, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Not necessarily.  It is a unit of volume.  I suppose baking recipes could measure flour and milk in acre-feet, but that's obviously silly.  Acre-feet per year is among the most common units for water consumption.  I don't recall seeing it used in any other context.  —EncMstr 23:02, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

text: I have never heard of it being used to measure the water consumption of a family home.  It comes from irrigation.

Or the equivalent of 12 inches of rainfall.Eregli bob (talk) 14:15, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If you are growing rice in a wet area, it still takes an acre-foot of water to flood a 1 acre field to a depth of 1 foot. That's just the definition of the unit. Lieutenant pepper (talk) 16:41, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: A one acre rice paddy naturally flooded with rainwater is not water consumption, though, and while its volume would indeed be an acre-foot, it would not be recorded as such. Firejuggler86 (talk) 06:38, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: It would probably be best to give both definitions. One US survey acre foot would thus be 43,560 cubic US survey feet.  Since one US survey foot is  metres this gives an acre foot of approximately  cubic metres. JIMp talk·cont 06:25, 14 August 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Tau Ceti in fiction

message: Larry Niven wrote a book called Rainbow Mars, in which all the Martian civilizations imagined by Edgar Rice Burroughs, C.S. Lewis, H.G. Wells, etc., exist together on the same crowded planet. Someone inevitably will write a "Rainbow Tau Ceti," in which all the fictional worlds imagined around Tau Ceti orbit that star.

thread_title: Update on Rainbow Tau Ceti

message: The page states "Tau Ceti is the second closest star to the Sun (after Alpha Centauri A) having spectral class G", which can be misread as "Tau Ceti is the second closest star to the Sun, having spectral class G" which would be wrong. However, it should be read as "Tau Ceti is the second closest star to the Sun having spectral class G", which is correct, since only Alpha Centauri A has spectral class G and is nearer to the sun (see list of nearest stars).
Perhaps some native speaker can change the sentence in a way that avoids this possible misunderstanding?

message: The Chiesa Nuova does not face "the alley of Corso Vittorio", but on its own small piazza which fronts on the Corso Vittorio Emanuele itself.
The article also does not indicate that the church is part of the large complex of the Oratory of St. Philip Neri, to which it is connected internally through the left side aisle. The facade of the adjacent Oratory is considered one of the architectural masterpieces of Borromini. St. Philip Neri instructed that the entire interior of the church be simply whitewashed, and it was not in fact decorated until after his death. The complex of church, library, oratory (music hall for "oratorios"), offices and living rooms is the headquarters of the religious order of Oratorians.

message: Under the plot section, in paragraph 3, in the second last sentence is the following text: 
"They return to the Endurance after only one hour in their perspective, yet 23 years have passed due to the time dilation caused by Gargantua's gravity." 
This is incorrect. Gargantua's time dilation is 7 Earth years per hour on Gargantua. 23 years have passed in Earth time, but just over three hours have passed from their perspective (time on Gargantua = 23 Earth years * 1 Gargantua hour / 7 Earth years  == 3.28 Gargantua hours).

Talk:George Adamson

message: We have politely requested two times that you stop removing the fatheroflions.org link from the George Adamson link section on the wikipedia George Adamson page. Of the links on this George Adamson page the fatheroflions link is the most relevant and the site offers extensive information about George Adamson.
Why do you keep repeatedly removing the link?  Since you seemed upset about the previous correction to text about a 1999 movie, we must assume you do not like the fact that the fatheroflions site states that this movie was inaccurate about who took the cubs. What is written on that site about that movie is correct! Gareth took the cubs and wrote about them in his book Legacy of the Lions. You certainly should not object to a website or persons telling the truth! It makes no sense. Nothing derogatory was said about Tony only the correct facts were given about there being inaccuracies. This is not an opinion, it is a fact. If any persons have a right be upset about this, it is Gareth and his admirers since in that movie credit for his rescuing the cubs was taken away from him and the credit given to another person! That is certainly a valid reason for persons being upset!
A third time we ask you to stop removing the most relevant link on the George Adamson page, the fatheroflions link. If any links should be removed, it is not that link.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gajaad (talk • contribs) 04:07, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
