Talk:Backlash (engineering)

message: The lead currently says "backlash is purposeful clearance between mating components", but it should be adjusted to convey that backlash may be either purposeful or unintended and due to wear. For example, the cross-slide of an engine lathe may have started life with, say, 0.010" worth of (intended) backlash between its leadscrew and the nut; but after 50 years of service, the backlash has increased to, say, 0.080" worth, through the nut wearing out. — ¾-10 21:58, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Brother Dave Gardner

message: As a huge fan of BDG's comedy, I almost hate to say this, but this page is far too sanitized.  Brother Dave's late 60's descent into paranoia, overt racism, and tight connections with both the Ku Klux Klan and controversial oil tycoon H. L. Hunt is documented in the article "Whatever Happened To Brother Dave?" in the September 1970 issue of Harper's Magazine.  This shouldn't be overlooked.
:Also a fan here, and I agree.  In fact, the article needs a good deal more about Gardner's life.  Right now it's mostly about his comedic style.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.95.43.249 (talk) 00:09, 13 February 2014 (UTC)

He was most grateful and said:"Who our these other people,undertakers?" "No,"we said" ,just Canadians". I've never seen anyone so relieved.

message: I am working my way through the Good articles listed at Places; having a quick look to see if they still meet the Good article criteria. I have landed on this article. After I've had a quick look, I'll leave a note here indicating if I have concerns or not.
In general, I see the process as this: 1) Give the article a quick look to see if there are obvious issues: maintenance tags, unsourced sections, excessive media, etc, resolving any minor issues as I do so; 2) If I have concerns, open a GAR to see how serious those concerns are, resolving them myself if they are not serious; 3) If during the GAR I feel that there is significant work to be done (more than I can or am willing to do myself), I will put the GAR on hold and notify the main contributors.

thread_title: GA check

message: Regarding your addition that the village was “completely” abandoned in 1838, its inhabitants living in caves, etc. This is actually false and a misleading assertion, implying the village was deserted. Grossman is obviously citing Edward Robinson’s 1838 observation, which is available for all to read. Robinson does not claim it was abandoned, but rather, like many other villages in the region, seasonally inhabited as per the residents’ socioeconomic custom. He says the following: “Some of the houses are built of large hewn stones, indicating antiquity. Most of them were in good repair, but none of them now inhabited; all the people being abroad, in tents or caves, in order to watch their flocks and fields of grain. This is the custom of the peasants in this part of Palestine, during the months of pasturage in spring and until the crops are gathered; while in autumn and winter they inhabit their villages.” Please be careful using Grossman; I cannot personally access his text, but in other work I’ve read, like on the Algerian settlements of the Galilee, he has been similarly imprecise. —Al Ameer (talk) 15:20, 21 February 2024 (UTC)

replies: text:  Grossman's words are correct but incomplete and easily misunderstood. For example you misunderstood them when you wrote "Its residents resettled in surrounding areas" which is not a proper description of seasonal dwelling. In general, Grossman is often superficial when citing sources and we should always consult the originals when that is possible. Kudos to Al Ameer in this case. Zerotalk 07:06, 22 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Shisen-Sho

message: A link to an open source version of Shisen-Sho
* Shisen Sho - an open source version written in Seed7
has been removed several times by Xihr. I have added the link back but Xihr keeps removing it and the only information is rm linkspam. Sorry but this explanation is not enough. IMHO this link is not spam. I see no reason why a link to an Implementation on Microsoft Windows is not spam and a link to this version is spam. Specially as both linked pages are hosted at SourceForge. I hope to get a real explanation why a link to a page at SourceForge is considered as linkspam and another link is not. Zron 22:40, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Because the Seed7 links are being spammed throughout Wikipedia (and other fora for that matter, such as Usenet).  Wikipedia is not the place for the author of Seed7 to try to advertise his work. Xihr 23:01, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  So the reason you removed the link has nothing to do with the open source version of Shisen-Sho or its page with screenshots at SourceForge. You just fight aggainst a programming language and try to remove everything which has to do with this language? When I search Wikipedia for Seed7 I found no indication of "links being spammed throughout Wikipedia". The conclusion is: You remove links to open source programs which would otherwise be totally acceptable just because they happen to be written in a programming language you don't like. Sorry, but this reason is not acceptable. The reasons to remove a link should be related to the page it refers to or to the program described on this page. Zron 07:50, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In some versions, such as Sports Match, the second turn is restricted.  In these versions, the line segment after the second turn is allowed to be only one long.  The game will try starting from the second tile picked instead of the first one to get around this restriction, but the game rules clearly say that the mole can make ONE turn, and that the second one can only position the hammer.  17:01, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Apodaca v. Oregon

message: This article was written as though Powell's concurring opinion, that there is a Sixth Amendment right to a unanimous verdict, but that right is not incorporated against the states, was a majority opinion of the court. The actual case is more fractured than that. As I pointed out in Talk:Incorporation (Bill of Rights), the four-justice plurality held that there was no constitutional right to a unanimous verdict. Only a single justice, Justice Powell, concurring in the judgment, held the position that there is a constitutional right to a unanimous jury decision, but that that right is not incorporated against the states. Four dissenting justices held the view that there was such a constitutional right, and that it should be incorporated against the states. I've edited it to correct that. I'm sure my edit here can be improved, but it does at least get the correct information into the article. TJRC (talk) 06:33, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

message: "The station features two platforms, either side of a single island platform concourse, together with a run-round (loco-release) track. These three lines meet at the southern end of the station in a series of points, whilst at the northern end they merge at a turntable, which is also the headshunt for locomotive release."
This paragraph appears to be incorrect, given the track diagrams on the main North Bay Railway page. It looks like one of the tracks is a stub track with no connection to the turntable at the northern end. Jhlister (talk) 02:45, 6 June 2020 (UTC)
