:I think that when this template should be substituted instead of transcluded when it is used on the talk pages of character templates. That is, use  instead of  on those talk pages. Otherwise the meaning of the "comment" you have left might change in the future which will be confusing if people have commented on your comment. And remember to sign your comments when you leave them on talk pages.

Talk:Craniofacial team

message: The current article is mainly focused on cleft treatment. Since my personal contact with such team is cleft related, I can only really add facts from this POV. However the craniofacial team treats more facial deformities. Can someone add more details about this team for other craniofacial aspects? Felsir 08:15, July 25, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Gloucestershire County Cricket Club in 2005

message: Purge the cache
hi i'm fairly new to wikipedia but wanted to help out with the cricket articles. I have started to create a Gloucestershire County Cricket Club  in 2004 article along similar lines to this one. I guess i'm also checking that no-one is working on this but not yet uploading it. Also made this links box (not yet saved as template): 
Gloucestershire County Cricket Club
2004 |
2005
I wondered whether I should/could add it to this page to link to older seasons. Also what is the wikiproject cricket convention on naming templates?Suicidalhamster 15:32, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Lovely! Thanks, that's really helpful. These templates don't really have a convention yet (if we make one, we can always move them), so I would suggest "Gloucestershire County Cricket Club by season" or something like that. The templates have to go in the template namespace, though (meaning that they're saved as "Template:Gloucestershire County Cricket Club by season"). And no, no one else is working on this (yet, anyway). Sam Vimes 15:54, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Worcestershire County Cricket Club in 2005

message: Why isn't Gayle included in the squad listing? Loganberry (Talk) 23:33, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah; such subtle reasoning! Which, while I'm here, explains the disparity between this list and the one at Worcestershire County Cricket Club; the latter is a listing of everyone who's made a f-c appearance for Worcs in 2005, as opposed to an "official" squad listing. I think Gayle should be listed as West Indies, though, not Jamaica, since we have England and not United Kingdom. I'm going to change that; I hope that's okay. Loganberry (Talk) 14:26, 23 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Hm...ok. I kinda liked the different flags, but your logic is sound, so I'll just put up with it and put all West Indians in the counties under the West Indies (there aren't many this year, thankfully...Ottis Gibson and Nixon McLean are the only two, I think).

thread_title:  MrOllie's Edits 

message: The article refers to an energy storage unit, eg a capacitor bank. This would imply DC rather than AC, and would also imply a very high current rectifier. Could somebody knowledgeable clarify the issue of energy storage units please? Also it's probably worth clarifying the AC/DC issue - even if it should be obvious.
Mimiselfani (talk) 10:06, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Spot welding (unlike MIG welding) isn't fussy about AC vs. DC; so both are used interchangeably, depending on which is the most convenient for an electrical engineer to construct. In practice, large machines are AC, small machines are DC. Both use "energy storage units": obviously the DC units use capacitors, but the AC units also store energy through the inductance of their transformers.

Talk:Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!

message: Ya, the reason it is funny when he asks for both is not that it's not "customary" to put both lemon and milk in tea.  It's because if you put those both in a tea they would curdle into little bits of cheese.  It wasn't a stiff british faux-pas thing it was a 'you probably don't want cheese tea' kind of thing.
-Maverick
Richard Feynman, Physics Nobel laureate in 1965 for his work in electrodynamics, may be percieved as an eccentric and free spirit. His works in the fields of mechanics and astronomy are the works of a genius. His book, 'Surely You're Joking, Mr.Feynman', is a compilation of numerous events that when collated, summarise the person  that is Feynman. It contains everything from humorous anecdotes to his true feelings when his first wife, Arline, died prematurely. The book is a must-read for all those who are ambitious to make it big in life, and not ONLY for those who aspire to become physicists.

replies: text: Me again - actually ignore that, I just checked the book, and it's complicated. It was his first afternoon at Princeton, at the welcoming Dean's Tea ("I didn't know what a 'Tea' was", meaning the event), and he's overwhelmed by the formality. But when he famously says "both", it's because he's trying to work out where to sit and he's not concentrating, and "I realized what I had said".

Category talk:Calculus

message: Thank you for recategorizing the calculus articles. One remark. I think if you put a certain article in :Category: integral calculus, then it needs to be removed from :Category:Calculus which is a supercategory of :Category: integral calculus. I mean, the main point of putting things in a new subcategory is to refine the categorization and reduce clutter. Then, I think it does not make sence to still keep those articles also in the mother category. What do you think? Oleg Alexandrov 01:43, 25 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Spinto

message: Markw added the following text:
:It also allows for sopranos and tenors with equally rich lower ranges not to be only cast in soprano/tenor roles. Essentially, one could say a spinto soprano is an alto with a soprano range or a soprano with an alto range (same for a baritone with a tenor range, and vice versa). However, it is important to note that spinto is usually reserved for sopranos who have control of their coloratura (or whistle register) and have a lower range. This is because a dramatic soprano is considered to be a lyric soprano with a rich, lower, "alto" range.
I don't believe it is correct to say that a spinto soprano is a soprano "with an alto range", whatever that means. The soprano lirico-spinto has essentially the same range as a lyric soprano, up to c6, only the voice is fuller and stronger. - Karl Stas 10:16, 25 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: See Vocal range. - Karl Stas 09:35, 26 July 2005 (UTC)

message: I think saying that Cio-Cio San is a role which 'Renata Tebaldi made her own' is a bit of a biased statement for the purposes of explaining what a spinto is. Doublea 04:16, 5 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Soprano lirico-spinto 

message: I removed the following: "Rosalind Plowright defines a spinto voice as one that has a tonal colour one down from its range. For example, a voice with a mezzo's tone colour and the high notes of a soprano, or a voice with a tenor range and a baritone's tone colour, is a spinto. She names Placido Domingo as an instance of the latter." Plowright's definition, although interesting, is certainly not standard. First of all, tenors with a baritone quality to the voice are known as "Heldentenors", which have a disctinctly different sound than tenors refered to as spintos. So no offence to Plowright, but the reference to a baritone like quality to the sound really isn't accurate as that sound is covered by another fach. Likewise, a soprano with a mezzo like quality is not a spinto. Two types of soprano especially dear to the French that would better fit that discription are the Dugazon and the Falcon, which are intermediate voice types between the soprano and the mezzo soprano: a Dugazon is a darker-colored soubrette, a Falcon a darker-colored soprano drammatico.

Talk:Cape Henry Memorial

message: "Cape Henry Cross" was dedicated by the National Society Daughters of the American Colonists on April 26, 1935, proclaimed "Cape Henry Day' by the Mayor.  As the dedication plaque clearly states, the cross was dedicated to commemorate the first landing of English settlers on the anniversary date of the landing, not to memorialize anything, including the planting of the first cross on April 29, 1607.
A request has -as of today- been made of the NPS and its historian Dr. Robert Selig to justify its use of the term "Memorial" for any reason other than because the cross was relocated into its Memorial Park in 1981. As both the Colonial National Park Superintendent and the cited historian are friends of mine, I expect a speedy reply.  (I'll hope the name will change with a reversion to its original name and, along with it, all errors which are a result of it. 
Also, those of you who live near me (I am 5 mins from Cape Henry), email me.  I'm the Treasurer/Recording Secy of the Order of Cape Henry 1607... ooh la la la yawn la.
