thread_title:  Braun tube 

message: Braun invented the phased array antenna in 1905. This deserves to be mentioned in his biography. Braun describes the invention on page 239 of his Nobel lecture: http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1909/braun-lecture.pdf 
The phased array led to the development of directional antennas, radar, smart antennas, and capacity-multiplying MIMO. The concept first investigated by Braun is also used in ultrasound, sonar, and phased array optics. Claudeb (talk) 19:41, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Change dating system to Common Era 

message: "While the true original inhabitants of Vietnam were the Hoabinhians, they had of course been replaced and absorbed by the East Eurasian-looking populace and the expansion of preliminary Austroasiatic and Austronesian languages, although linguistic is not totally interrelated with genetic." So, obviously, this is a run on, and I would just fix it, probably poorly, if part of the run-on didn't require a rework. The use of "of course" in the sentence is incredibly vague language. It also feels antithetical to the intent of providing contextualized knowledge. The related article on "Hoabinhians" provides no context that would imply that this was common knowledge, and to be honest I had never heard the term "Hoabinhians" before this article.

Talk:List of television stations in Wisconsin

message: Been browsing the other 'lists of television stations in {state}'.
I think we may have a long term problem here, because of several factors:
*Digital television is a reality. There should probably now be a way to distinguish between analog and digital stations. Current channel lists on Wikipedia (List_of_television_stations_in_California) usually just start at 2 (NTSC analog, VHF) and go up to 69 (NTSC analog, UHF), up in order numerically.
*As the 'See also' link at the bottom of the Wisconsin page illustrates, there are a LOT of television stations registered in the state. Detail at that level changes regularly, and many people may not care about the low power religious stations. So where is the line drawn? Nationally affiliated networks (ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox, UPN, WB, PBS, Univision, etc.), with select independants? All stations? Maintaining all fifty states' 'on air' networks could be a full time job by itself.
*Stations could be broken up by market, or simply alphabetically by transmitter location. The former allows easier searching, the latter allows a more comprehensive list and prevents editing wars over which station is in which market - although Nielsen does define markets explicitly, I believe. I suspect ordering by channel lowest to highest is rather arbitrary and will only be useful to someone who is already tuned to a channel in a region and wants to know what affiliation it has.
*How should analog and digital television be separated? Should they be in completely separate lists - separate pages?
*Would a table format be appropriate for what is being attempted here?
One thing is certain, the current lists on Wikipedia do not acknowledge digital telvision at all. However, I'm not sure how best to attack this.

replies: text: As far as Digital goes, I put a new section at the bottom of List of television stations in Minnesota, but then we also have virtual channel numbering to worry about (and besides, I was only able to do the Twin Cities market).  Note, however, that digital channels are generally only broadcast on UHF 15-50..  Tables would be nice, but they are a real bitch to edit.  I think a lot of pages with tables on them don't get edited for that reason..  —Mulad 22:42, 3 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: Anyone here have more info for the Alfred, New York page, and its associated schools (Alfred State College and Alfred University)?

Who were the Hornell family? Hörnell (with umlaut) is a family name from northern Sweden. The Hörnell company (www.hornell.com) in Gagnef, Dalarna, Sweden is now a part of 3M. Are these related?
I just finished reading F. Scott Fitzgerald's Tender Is the Night. The book ends with the protagonist, Dick Diver, moving to Hornell to die in obscurity.

Talk:Battle of Khe Sanh

message: The policy regarding popular culture entries in military history articles is outlined here: WP:MILPOP. This provides the following: "In popular culture sections should be avoided unless the subject has had a well-cited and notable impact on popular culture. Any popular culture reference being considered for inclusion must be attributed to a reliable secondary source for the article topic. Items meeting these requirements should typically be worked into the text of the article..a separate section for popular culture items, and in particular the following, should be avoided: compendiums of every trivial appearance of the subject in pop culture (trivia), unsupported speculation about cultural significance or fictional likenesses (original research)". At the article's recent A-class review it was determined that the entries were not strongly referenced and hence they were removed. However, there seems to be a tendency to slowly add these back in. If there is a desire to add these back in, can I please ask that the entries be strongly referenced? The current entry is not well referenced (the references do not talk about the song's significance, just that it exists) and probably should be removed as such, and the one I removed here is not even referenced at all.

Talk:Ottoman Interregnum

message: This article appears to have been plagiarized from the following:
http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Ottoman-Triumvirate
:The Ottoman Interregnum (also known as the Ottoman Triumvirate) was a period in the beginning of the 15th century when chaos reigned in the Ottoman Empire following the defeat of sultan Beyazid I in 1402 by the Mongol warlord Timur Lenk. Around 1410 the three sons of Beyazid left alive after the Battle of Ankara ruled each half of the remaindants of the empire. The eldest son, Suleiman Çelebi, ruled nothern Greece, Bulgaria and Thrace. His brother, İsa Çelebi ruled Greece and the westernmost of Anatolia, however he was overthrown by the younger half-brother Mehmed Çelebi from his capitol in Bursa in 1404. Suleiman then accuired southern Greece as well and Mehmet ruled over Anatolia. Mehmet then sent his younger brother Mûsa across the Black Sea with a large army to conquer Suleiman. Mûsa won in Bulgaria in 1410 and Suleiman was forced to retreat south to Greece. Mûsa then proclaimed himself as sultan of the Ottoman Empire. Mehmed became furious and sent a small army over to Gallipoli where it was defeated. Mehmed later came to his senses and forced an allians with the Byzantine Empire. Three years later Mehmed sent over a new army. This time it was much stronger and defeated Mûsa in Kamerlu, Serbia. It was then easy for Mehmed I to overthrow his last brother in Greece and become the Ottoman sultan.

Talk:Blood Music (novel)

message: This page needs some work.  I'll get around to it, but in the meantime here's my TODO list for it:
* gee, the text (which was originally submitted by a one-day-only anon user) sure reads like it came from another publication.  I can't find a source, so I'm not claiming it as copyvio, but it doesn't read like an encyclopedia page, but rather like a brief book review.  The viability, or otherwise, of the book's story shouldn't be the main part of the  article.  If the original author subsequently became a registed user, can you confirm the text is original?
* it should be noted that the short story version won (apparently) both Hugo and Nebula awards.
* that stuff about E-coli and its genome isn't correct.  The book discusses the engineering of one of the scientist's own lymphocites, and as a human cell it has just as much genetic material as you or I.  This zaps the argument about it not having the basepairs necessary to be smart (but there's plenty of complexity arguments still there)
* a note should be made that the book's structure mirrors the major phases of Mitosis, a metaphor for the splitting off of the new lympho-creature civilisation from humanity
* there's some stuff about the anthropic principle we should also link to (that business about the "burden of observation")
* some reference should be made to Nanotechnology (in the drexler sense) and to (if we have it) the Grey Goo hypothesis.
* also, if we have it, a link to The Spike (in the transhuman we're going to live forever as titanium rosebushes meaning of the word)
