Talk:Electronic Broking Services

message: Isn't the name of this article wrong? I believe the correct full name of EBS is Electronic Broking Services. Just try a Google search. The first result is from EBS's own web site. Unless there are any objections, I will rename this article. NFH 11:08, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong name 

message: EBS spot has been replaced by the BrokerNet platform. The previous SPOT product was based on legacy hardware, software and infrastructure (i.e.: MicroVAX for the deal feed client and original Pentium-based PCs for the trading workstations, OS/2 as the operating system and DECNet for the network). The new BrokerNet is based on Pentium 4 workstations running Windows XP as the OS, the network is all TCP/IP connected to EBS through MPLS (in most cases) and the deal feed client also runs on Windows now.
This upgrade was required by all EBS clients worldwide at no extra cost. At the time of the upgrade, clients that had EBS Spot willing to obtain new products (such as EBS Prime, for example) were told they must first upgrade to the BrokerNet in order to proceed in addnig new products. --Pinnecco 14:51, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Roseau - spelling

message: Many places reference a story where British ships hid from French ships that were pursuing them (sometimes vice versa), winning a naval battle as a result. This includes many local tourism websites, hotel websites and the Lonely Planet guide. I can’t find any original source for this though: Is anyone aware of evidence for this?
The two significant naval battles around St Lucia were The Battle of the Saintes (further North than St Lucia) and the Battle of St Lucia (which took place in the bays further North of Marigot and didn’t involve any French pursuit).
The event is recorded in a painting which hangs (as of 2015) in the Boudreau Restaurant which may give at least some details of this event. Is anyone able to find this, or any more compelling evidence? BenjaminBluesilk (talk) 16:04, 24 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Electrical impedance/Archive 1

message: I think it would be helpful to have some qualitative interpretation of the phase angles, e.g., the current leads the voltage in a capacitive circuit, etc. Like a lot of WP articles on scientific topics, this one could be improved by doing everything that can be done with easy math first, and only introducing harder math toward the end of the article. It could also use circuit diagrams, graphs, etc.--bcrowell

thread_title: interpretation of phase angles

message: On the part in AC steady state:
"For DC circuit analysis, each voltage and current is represented by a constant real number. Thus, it is reasonable to suppose that the rules developed for DC circuit analysis can be used for AC circuit analysis by using complex numbers instead of real numbers."
I don't think it would be "reasonable" to just assume that. Not to mention, why doesn't it go into *why* the rules for DC circuits be used for AC circuits. Needs clarification. Fresheneesz 06:21, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The very next section - Definition of Impedance - explains the 'why'.  The intent of the statement that you object to is to motivate the notion that we define impedance in order to generalize Ohm's law (and what follows from Ohm's law) to AC circuits in AC steady state.

Talk:Rudolf Slánský

message: They were notable for their anti-Semitic overtones: Slánský and 10 of his 13 co-defendants were Jewish.
I propose to change the word "anti-Semitic" to "anti-Zionist". They were not accused of being Jews, but they were accused of Zionist activities.
I propose it be reverted as Judt in "Postwar," among others, has convincingly laid out that the trials were indeed profoundly anti-Semitic. Many of the Zionist charges stemmed from the policies that were Stalinist policies prior to Israel leaning west.

thread_title: Comments by IP

message: It is important to realise that it is an obsolete unit, but still in colloquial use (and on lots of older pressure gauges).  For general engineering use there is usually little practical difference between 14 atm and 14 bar, and common gauges are only accurate to 2% FSD (on the day you buy them). Of course for precision work there are instruments and situations for which it matters.  Anyone doing such work today would use the bar or pascal.

thread_title:  Atmosphere as a Unit 

message: I propose an edit regarding the note of use of atmospheres by divers.  There is widespread ignorance of units, but divers use atm correctly for partial pressures of gases such as oxygen - it is by no means obsolete. 
For example, the PO2 of oxygen is approx 0.209, and when calibrating this on a rebreather it is important the number is correct - it is adjusted for atmospheric pressure and sometimes, for humidity.  As PO2 sensors are calibrated at sea level, atm is the appropriate unit of measure, not the bar.   Given this, the entry should read:
"Use of atm by divers: 
a.  Units of atm are used by divers, particularly when calibrating partial pressures of oxygen.  Rebreathers are normally calibrated or checked in air at sea level, so the atmosphere and not the bar is the appropriate unit.   
b. Older divers in the UK continue to use ata as an obsolete unit of pressure that is applied loosely to be bar or atm - it is defined by the water pressure at 33 ft.

Talk:Tecora

message: This page needs some sources: a lot of it seems to be derived from straight from Spielberg's film.  It should at least be listed as the only source for this material if it is so.
Regarding the use of the word "kidnapping" in regards to taking the Africans from their homeland--I used the word not so much to express the particulars of Portugese law, but to reflect the nature of them being taken (by whomever it was who took them, Portugese traders or their fellow Africans) from their homes to where they were sold to the Portugese aboard the Tecora.  I've changed it back (from "caught" in a previous edit) since I think that word better reflects the nature of that event.
However, if "kidnapping" is just too legal sounding or something, I would suggest a word like "captured" "taken" or "enslaved" rather than "caught" since that word sounds rather mild to describe the process of being snatched from one's homeland....
geeman 28 June 2006
It is the 21st of June as I write this, but maybe you know some way of editing in the future?  I am intrigued.
I don't see the relevance of detailing this one specific voyage made concerning the captives later made immortal aboard La Amistad.  Didn't this ship make many such voyages?  This seems more like a narrative about a group of people who already have a page for their story, and less of a description about the ship itself.  However, I will not take the liberty of editing the page at this time, but rather await other opinions on the matter.
User:RudyB 21 June 2006
The voyage in question is the one for which the ship is the most famous.  While the article as written does focus upon that one voyage it is the one that is both the best documented and serves as a good example of the ship's activities, so I think it should stay.  The article focuses on events particular to the ship, not the whole story of the people on that voyage itself--which is contained in other articles.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Corner Penthouse

message: Chewbacca1010: This is a comic my former roomate and I draw and write, I will add to this as we progress. It has a small following in my building.
I do not see the need to delete this article, as, when time permits it, I intend to actually submit several of the comics as an example. Since my partner does not have access to the Internet, he will not be able to voice his opinion for several weeks, when he moves.
The article does not have any vanity problems as the character descriptions are based on the comics and not our real-life counterparts. While the characters are loosely based on ourselves, they are not direct reflections of ourselves, they are merely characters. --Chewbacca1010 May 10, 2006.
*"Vanity" is perhaps a poor choice in terminology on our part.  It doesn't really have the same pejorative sense you normally associate with it.  Boiled down it just means we strongly prefer that authors not create articles about their own creations.  In any case, Wikipedia really isn't the place for publishing information about material that is not yet widely known.  If you're planning on putting the comic online, though, there definitely is a site for you.  It's called Comixpedia, and it is an encyclopedia dedicated specifically to online comics.  It's not maintained by the same organization Wikipedia is, but it uses the same software and licenses we do.  –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 21:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/ERICS

message: According to the Wikipedia Importance Criteria:
"An article is "important" enough to be included in Wikipedia if any one of the following is true:
1. There is evidence that a reasonable number of people are, were or might be concurrently interested in the subject (eg. it is at least 
well-known in a community).
2. It is an expansion (longer than a stub) upon an established subject.
3. Discussion on the article's talk page establishes its importance.
If an article is "important" according to the above then there's no reason to delete it on the basis of it being:
1. of insufficient importance, fame or relevance, or
2. currently small or a stub, or
3. obscure. (Detailed obscure topics hurt no-one because it's hard to find them by accident, and Wikipedia isn't paper.)"
ERICS is well known within a community and therefore it is important enough to be included in Wikipedia. (1st Paragraph point 1)
As it is important enough there is no need to delete it on the basis of it being of insufficient importance, fame or relevance. (2nd Paragraph point 1) Djb1985 12:39, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
