Talk:Glass Plus

message: I've never heard of this product. If it's for sale in a particular part of the world then it might be worth adding that information to the article. Arcturus 15:26, 19 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Glass Plus used to be in almost every grocery store cleaning aisle in Canada, but starting this year (2017) I simply can't find it anymore. It has disappeared from every store shelf, replaced in each case with a cheap generic glass cleaner from the store's own in-house brand. Almost all of these cheap alternatives contain ammonia (likely in an attempt to compete with Windex which also contains ammonia), whereas Glass Plus does not contain ammonia and this is the reason why I have always opted for it over Windex. I would love to know where to get Glass Plus today, but perhaps more importantly, especially for an encyclopedia like this, I would like to know WHY Glass Plus disappeared from all Canadian shelves, almost overnight, earlier this year. Did it become unpopular due to some public story? (Google search doesn't turn any up.) Did it run afoul of Canadian govt regulations in some way? Did some patent expire, encouraging every single grocery store to remove Glass Plus from its shelves to try to drive business to its own in-house Windex alternative? I suspect that last explanation is correct, but it's impossible to verify without more information about recently expired glass cleaning patents, which I have been unable to find. The reasons behind the sudden and near-universal disappearance of Glass Plus from Canadian (and perhaps other countries') stores is exactly the kind of information one should read about in Wikipedia, and it's the information I came to this page to find. Sadly, the info isn't here. But it should be. 45.72.162.231 (talk) 14:53, 7 September 2017 (UTC)

message: Here "fragrant" - which as far as I'm concerned can only be an adjective - is being used as a verb, something I've never seen before in English. I hesitate to change it myself, as someone may protest it's now perfectly normal in (say) North America (my version of English is British). But the (American) Merriam-Webster dictionary only defines it as a adjective, which is what I'd expect. Perhaps change "fragrant" to "perfume" (which can be used as a verb), or else "add fragrance to"?213.127.210.95 (talk) 13:44, 23 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Golghar

message: Is there any evidence for the Golghar being constructed to preserve grain for military forces specifically, as opposed for the whole population? The citation just points to a tourist guide site, which is hardly an authoritative source. The Government of Bihar's Directorate of Archaeology page about the Golghar makes no mention of it being dedicated to military use. If the capacity of the granary was 140,000 tons then surely that would far exceed what would be necessary to feed a large garrison?
James Harvard (talk) 14:50, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Golghar for storing grain for the 'British Army'? 

message: I suspect there is a problem with the cited weight capacity of Golghar...
Simplifing (greatly) Golghar can be considered to be half a sphere of radius 29m (its height).
Volume of a sphere = (4/3) * PI * r^3.
Therefore the volume of Golghar:
 = ((4/3) * PI * 29^3) / 2
 = ((4/3) * PI * 24389) / 2
 = 102160 / 2
 = 51080m3
 = approx 50000m3
If Golghar holds 140000 tons of grain then each ton occupies:
 = 50000 / 140000
 = 0.357m3
Now, if one metric tonne is the weight of a cubic metre of water, this suggests that the tons of grain in Golghar are something like three times heavier than water, which is unlikely.
My volume calculation clearly errs on the high side, so the actual internal volume of Golghar must be much less. If this is the case then each of the 140000 tons of grain will have even less space, which therefore leaves this mythical grain as being even denser than my initial calculation suggests.
A number of things need to be done:
* confirm my primitive calculations for the internal volume of Golghar.
* arrive at a mathematically reasonable number of tons for the capacity of Golghar, given an approximate density of grain.
* if my suspicions prove correct the original source (if it can be found) for the weight capacity of Golghar as being 140000 tons should be identified as being incorrect.
* the derivation of the correct approximate weight capacity of Golghar should be explained and the result cited.

message: I don't expect anyone to read this but I just wanted to complain real quick. My original article definitely needed cleaned up but I'm a bit annoyed that everyone said delete before the cleanup and keep afterwards citing that it now had content. It had plenty of content before, can we be a little slower to say delete. SchmuckyTheCat did a great job and I appreciate it but he didn't add any content, he just reformatted my content and now everyone changes their mind.

Talk:Tranche

message: Why does the example use risk transfer via CDS rather than a more straightforward purchase? A synthetic CDO backed by governtment obligations is certainly a valid structure but it would seem to obscure the real mechanics. Bongomatic (talk) 02:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Example

message: Does anyone know the significance of "traunche" v. "tranche" ... I have seen both usage.  Is the first a spelling mistake or ...
:Yes, I think so -- people think that the term, being French, ought to have a "u" in it somewhere... (or maybe people are subconsciously thinking of the word "raunchy"?)
::RH: tranche is found in several online dictionaries, and is from the old French for 'slice' (c.f. 'trench').  'traunch' is not found in the same sources, and is therefore probably a mis-spelt form of 'tranche'.  This particular spelling likely arose from the way in which an English-speaker would pronounce the word as it is actually pronounced in French, with the 'au' sounding like the 'o' in the word 'long'.  Without the Anglophone knowing how to pronounce the word in French, he would otherwise pronounce 'tranche' like 'ranch'.
::"Traunche" or "traunch" (which I have seen more frequently, usually in e-mail from senior management of investment banks) is a misspelling. Bongomatic (talk) 02:24, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin of "tranche"

message: Somebody with some time should write up a description of tranche as used by multilateral financial organizations (especially the International Monetary Fund).  Within structural adjustment lending programs, loans were given out in 'slices', or tranches.  Subsequent tranches were in theory supposed to only be given if countries restructured their economies as specified by structural adjustment conditionalities.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/-Ril-'s suggestion

message: *Vandalism actually seems to potentially become more significant and a more serious problem under this system -- it might happen less often, but it would be harder for users to deal with quickly: if vandals use many sockpuppets (possibly other trolls by proxy) to vote up vandalized versions; there is a risk they would game the system.  Under the current system, they have no technical measures that they can put on their side (to hide under) 
*Not all reverts are bad.  Not all improvements are bad; under a rating system it would be difficult for readers to find the best version.  Suppose 100 people had voted on version 4, then you make a bugfix, version 5... those 100 people are gone, how are you going to convince people to dig into the history and find the better version to rate it up.
*How do you handle ties between the ratings of two versions?  Newest wins? At least with the reversion model, editors are able to make changes that matter effective quickly.
*What about historical improvements being buried in vandalism?  Surely people will not be convinced to scour deep into article history looking for versions they should vote for and trying to decide which set of changes is best --- the decision would be a potentially complex one, especially since people would be encouraged to edit the 'presentation' version instead of the latest: this has the potential to create many change conflicts which could be hard to merge in the end.

thread_title:  Twilight Princess 

message: In Ocarina of Time:, if the player kills a ReDead or a Gibdo, the others will walk to it and then crouch down or look down at it. Once it fades away, the ReDeads will walk to its original spot. This habit appears again in Wind Waker.  A ReDead will not attack you when it is walking to the corpse but once it fades, then it will attack you. After the ReDeads returned to its original spot, it will turn around and stare at you as long as you are in the same room as it. Then it will try to walk over to you but if you are too far from it, it will go back to its original spot. ReDeads can be stunned temporarily by playing the Sun's Song. 
I really get the impression that whoever wrote this misinterpretted the movements of a few ReDeads. I have never seen ReDeads walk over to a dead ReDead and crouch down at it, and but I know the ReDeads in the Market can never stun you, for whatever reason, which is probably why this user interpreted a few of the walking ReDeads as "not attacking you and walking towards a corpse". And as far as I know, ReDeads never "return to their original spot". They only stop moving when you're far enough away. It also seems to imply the Redeads staring at you is a condition that follows returning to its original spot. (Whether or not that was the intent of the wording, I don't know.) They only stare at you if you're close enough, not just if you're in the same room. The statement about the Sun's Song is just redundant, seeing as how it's already been mentioned.
