Talk:Presque Isle International Airport

message: === Runway Length ===
I changed some wording about the length of the runway at NMRA to reflect the fact that it's not the second longest overall. The runway at Loring AFB, now Loring Commercial Centre, is significantly longer at more than 12,000 feet. I'm not sure what condition Loring's runway is in, but it's claimed on their web site as being 12,100 x 300 (http://www.loring.org/Profile/phys_description.html) and that's what I'm going with. Actually, since Loring is no longer an Air Force / SAC base and is now being commercialized, I think that makes it legitimately the longest "commercial runway in Maine," to the detriment of Bangor's airport. However, I didn't change it because it's arguable what "commercial" means. Loring doesn't have regular service from anywhere that I'm aware of, so it's debatable. My feeling is that they should get the 'longest runway' title, but I'll let it be for right now. --Kadin2048 17:20, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:The Raising of Lazarus (Sebastiano del Piombo)

message: "The Raising of Lazarus" was only inventoried as NG1 in or around 1838 when the NG's pictures moved to the new purpose-built gallery in Trafalgar Square.  Before that it had a different number, or several different numbers - the numbers in the published catalogues changed as the collection grew.  It's not unlikely that it was given the number 1 in 1838 because it was considered the most important picture in the collection, though.  Either that or just about the biggest and most troublesome.
:Well, Cecil Gould's catalogue for The Sixteenth-Century Italian Schools at the National Gallery (1975) tells me that it was "No. 1 in the Angerstein catalogue of 1823" (p. 245). This was, of course, to become the Gallery's founding collection a year later; do we have evidence of its number having changed any time after that? [talk to the] HAM 22:56, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I guess this is better, but since this article indicated Toyota made an official statement, it should be somewhere to be found as a press release or another official form. I would hold on and not jump ship until we can find an official source, as WP has to be the most reliable, not the most up-to-date. Bravada, talk - 16:48, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's obviously true and quotes Toyota execs, but the official announcement may only be available in media-only sections of the Toyota website. IFCAR 17:08, 16 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, media have the tendency to "create facts" even if it amounts to outright lies. May I remind you about the Freestyle/Magellan controversy - there have been totally contradictory reports appearing, and most of them "quoted" some Ford officials in this way or another. Even if this seems fairly uncontroversial as a piece of information, I would still be very cautious about putting that in the article as it would serve as an example for a number of speculative articles to be included as "sources of information", which is what we are fighting with.

Talk:Equant

message: What about the history of the equant? I am looking for a project for my History of Science class and I noticed this article doesn't cover much on the history of the equant. I think this page may benefit from a survey of the key persons and developments behind the equant. What do you all think? Zoulogy (talk) 21:50, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The equant ("center of uniform motion") was apparently originally invented by Claudius Ptolemy and first explained in his Almagest. I don't think it was further developed theoretically until Kepler threw it out altogether.  Kepler destroyed the idea of uniform motion of planets with his laws, and thus obviated a need for a center for such.  There is a note about Kepler actually using it early on in his calculations, and then abandoning it when its flaws became apparent. SkoreKeep (talk) 00:05, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, this may be an exception to the merger proposals I have made for all the villages on Salamis. Here is my concern: I doubt there are any sources that provide information about Ampelakia, thus this stub will never be sourced or expanded.  El Greco, if I am wrong, I will happily agree with you as we have the same goals to expand the articles about Greece.Argos'Dad 15:02, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that I have looked into it a little more. The other pages, that float954 created are just villages on the island, Ampelakia is an actual city/municipality. So those other pages (villages) can be merged onto the Salamis Island page, but Ampelakia can stay. It was actually here long before float954 came around. But, I also agree with you on that fact that I too doubt, there are any sources that provide information about Ampelakia. El Greco (talk · contribs) 14:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed re keeping Ampelakia separate. The rest certainly don't seem likely to have sources (unless someone can find Greek ones) and once the  unsourced cruft is cleared out, they'd fit pretty compactly into a general geographical roundup within Salamis Island. Maybe it'd be more useful to take this merge discussion to Talk:Salamis Island. As you know, the float954 (etc) disruption is extending to removing the merge tag from all the individual articles Argos'Dad nominated. Gordonofcartoon 23:47, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: The PNAS paper by Schmidt and co-workers does not say "it was these rodents and not the black rats which were responsible for the spread of plague in Europe during the 14th century."  The paper says that plague was regularly re-introduced to Europe from Asia rather than persisting between epidemics in European rats.  The great gerbil is one of the examples of hosts in Asia, and it was the example mentioned in the press release. 
On transmission within Europe after an epidemic started, the paper actually says "It seems therefore more likely that plague spread through Europe in a variety of ways, as it did in India during the third plague pandemic. In India, the disease was documented to spread from person to person, by infected goods, and through rats"  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.216.51.91 (talk) 22:17, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
