Talk:Hawker Hurricane

message: This article is not ready for GAN, it has quite a number of incited paragraphs. Peacemaker67  (click to talk to me) 11:55, 6 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not ready for GA review because it is a poor article. For instance no mention is made in the development section about the fgact that the tailplane was originally strut-braced ar that the tailwheel originally was retractable or that (like the Spitfire) the prototype's undercart doors had a  hinged section to cover the lower half of the wheel. Certainly these are minor details but given the general level of wittering on about tangential issues I think something about the snecking aircraft itself is important. Another missing fact is the slight increase of length of the MkII- seven inches (178mm). From memory, the length given in the specs differs from that given in Hawker aircraft since whenever. I'd look all this up & do the edits but I do not edit from home and so doing do would involve a pannier bag of books; doable but needs forward planning. Wile I'm at it Flight Testing at Martlesham Heath has a good rather than sketchy explanation of the spin recovery problem- from memory the problem was that stick position in spin recovery was critical because of a danger of the aircraft entering a second spin upon recovery.

Talk:Mudchute DLR station

message: I've changed the wording of this article from Originally a surface level station, but rebuilt underground to the current version. The current station certainly isn't underground, but is rather in  a shallow open topped cutting just below street level; the tracks enter the tunnel immediately to the south and the retaining wall beside the Lewisham bound platform is a popular place to watch the London Marathon. My recollection is that the original station was a standard original DLR elevated station, immediately before the track singled in order to run along the old railway viaduct into the old Island Gardens station.

Talk:Education in Sweden

message: As shown in the table, Swedish school has a primary education (grundskola, 1–9) and secondary education (gymnasieskola 10–12), before getting to bachelor, master and that. But why does the table say "primary and lower secondary education" and "upper secondary education"? This would be equivalent to the American school system of elementary (1–5), middle (6–8) and high (9–12) as well as the English primary (1–6), lower (7–9) and upper (10–11). But the Swedish system does not use three schools, so why is the primary school called by two names? Shouldn't this article be written based on the Swedish system and use terms based on this system, and not based on foreign systems? To me, it would be like calling the Swedish emergency number the "911 number"; while it would match what the American term is, it does not reflect the reality of Sweden. Older versions of this article only called it "primary school" and "secondary school", so I don't see the need for this to be changed, since these terms perfectly reflects how it actually is.

message: Snooker a precision sport? Sure, you need to pot a ball in a pocket, but you don't get more points whether you hit the pocket dead on, or via one of the jaws. If snooker is a precision sport, shouldn't soccer be one as well? After all, that requires the players to put the ball in a "pocket" as well. Abigail 09:19, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I thought of that, and I can't really say I have an answer. Perhaps soccer should be categorized as a precision sport (but then indirectly, via something like "sports with goals"). The difference is that as far as I see it, precision is the only physical feat measured by snooker (much like shooting). I might be wrong. (Am I?) (Of course the most interesting feat measured by snooker is tactics, but it's dubious whether that is part of what makes it a sport - then we get to the questions of such games as chess or bridge being sports or not..) -- Jao 09:30, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Tactics is important in snooker in the same way it is with soccer. In fact, with soccer, the only thing that is measured is the number of goals - that is, the ability to put the ball in the goal. And while it helps in soccer to be a good runner, if you don't put the ball in the goal, you won't win. I know what you are getting at, and it might be a good idea to subdivide sports into different categories. But "precision sports" isn't a category I'd expect snooker in. Curling, bowls, darts, shooting, petangue (sp?), yes. Now, a category that combines snooker, pool, and the various forms of billiards, that might be a better idea. Abigail 09:53, 3 Jun 2004 (UTC)
