Talk:Hot shoe

message: As I understand it, a hot shoe is proprietary. One form is a Minolta hot shoe. I wonder if there are standards (i.e. IEEE standards).  There is also a thing called an accessory shoe.  How is it different from a hot shoe? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Hatsandcats (talk • contribs) .
:imho, every shoe that is able to trigger a flash is a hot shoe. This basic functionality is not proprietary, but standard. The term accessory shoe may refer to a  passive shoe without any electrical connection, or - more advanced - to those shoes used on same camcorders which have additional functions, like power supply for lamps, or mic input. Thyl Engelhardt213.70.217.172 (talk) 09:38, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: In the olden days, shoes had no contacts.  A common use was to hold accessory viewfinders for rangefinder cameras with interchangeable lenses.  Flash sync. was usually with a PC connector. The hot shoe with just flash sync. doesn't seem to be proprietary, but with other contacts, yes.  Even more, the other contacts might be in the same position, but otherwise incompatible, between brands. Gah4 (talk) 19:16, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

message: The use of AC trigger seems unlikely, as it would be delayed or fail at zero crossing.  In the early days of flash, there were bulbs that could trigger off 120VAC, but the bulbs were slow enough that a small delay wouldn't matter.  Is there a documented electronic flash using AC trigger?  Otherwise, I do wonder if polarity is close to standard.  The triggers for electronic cameras are likely polarity sensitive, but documentation only indicates trigger voltage. Gah4 (talk) 15:27, 19 December 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  "together with Russell" 

message: I've been looking for more detail on how Cepheids were originally calibrated. In particular I would like to know:
1) Which Cepheids did Hertzsprung obtain a parallax for? I read it was 13, but that is the closest I have got to finding out which ones.
2) What equipment did he use? I think it was the 60 inch Hale telescope at the Mt Wilson Observatory, but I'd be interested to know if this is the case.
3) More details of his technique. The article says "statistical parallax", is that the same as Spectroscopic parallax? If so it is very different to Stellar parallax and that would explain something I have been puzzling about for some time, which is why modern space telescopes are having so much trouble with the stellar parallax of Polaris (the closest Cepheid) if Cepheids were successfully calibrated a hundred years ago!
The calibration of Cepheids was an important moment in the history of cosmology, I'd love to know more about it. Jemanuel-h (talk) 20:55, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Antonia Maury

message: Fellow Wikipedian "Orge", 
I corrected the spelling of Antonia Maury and you changed it back. I don't know why or what your source would be for changing it but as for me she is a distant kinslady and one source I have is a book, The Maury Family Tree authored by Sue West. The Draper family are also my kin and thus my changes. Too if you click on the Henry Draper link on Antonia Maury's entry, or look directly at the entry for Henry Draper you will see that his entry states"
[Henry] " Draper's mother was Antonia Coetana de Paiva Pereira Gardner, daughter of the personal physician to the Emperor of Brazil. "
The above spelling is what I have in my book and what someone else posted as the correct entry spelling as opposed to what you changed.
I would like to know of any of your sources, if you please, I have cited two (2) while you have cited nothing.
The original Antonia Caetana De Paiva Pereira was and remains incorrect. The correct spelling is (Dr.) Antonia Coetana de Pavia Pereia Maury. The daughter was named after her mother which would present the same spelling.

* translate image caption from Swedish, since this is the ENGLISH Wikipedia
Problem is that h/s changed the names to Latin and Swedish, while what h/s changed from was a traditional English alternate spelling of the king's name and established English exonyms for the queen's. WP work can be pretty doggone funny. Anyway... --SergeWoodzing (talk) 01:39, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Traditional in what way? Gustavus Adolphus is traditionally known in English as Gustavus Adolphus, isn't he? "Mary Eleanor" is a bit odd, to say the least. She hasn't been referred to as Mary Eleanor since the 18th century, and even then she was more often called Maria Eleonora. Also woth noting might be that the English queen Henrietta Maria of France was not called Henrietta Mary. Surtsicna (talk) 07:15, 14 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: You totally missed my point and are arguing things that are not in dispute. I wrote "a traditional English alternate spelling of the king's name" [my bold] (Gustav Adolph) and that's exactly what that was. I didn't complain about the edit itself. I just thought the shouted word "ENGLISH" was funny, since that's exactly what the IP did not change the names to. Linguistically speaking, h/s changed all 4 of them from standard English to standard Latin and standard Swedish, which is OK by WP. I'm used to seeing what I consider sensible (if you don't mind my having my own opinion) name versions changed, and I don't fight it.
