Talk:Base curve radius

message: Hi,
I am new to contact lenses and my optician has prescribed daily lenses for me with a BC of 8.7.
I notice that there are lots of lenses available with BC=8.6 at reasonable prices on the web.
Q: Is it a big deal whether the BC is 8.7 or 8.6? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.224.166 (talk) 19:22, 24 July 2007
Hello, from what I've heard from other contact wearers, a difference of .1 BC shouldn't be a big deal, as long as you're wearing soft lens. They'll probably be less comfortable to wear, though. The general rule that I was given by my doctor was that I could wear anything within .3 BC of my prescription (8.9), provided I didn't wear them for prolonged periods of time (it can cause issues with how much oxygen your eyes receive, among other things) and that I used eye drops to replenish the moisture because it makes tear production more difficult. If you're really worried about it, though, I would ask your doctor... I have odd eye dimensions, so I can't vouch for what people with more "normal" eyes are supposed to wear. I'm merely telling you what I've heard from others, I am not a doctor or an eye specialist.
If you wear hard contact lens, talk to your doctor about it- I don't think you want to mess with the BC on those, they don't drape and "give" the way soft lens do. Abstractcandy (talk) 01:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Kilmartin

message: Given that it is easy enough to find references for Baigent and Leigh etc.'s views on the Templar graves (for example "Based on what we found and photographed, there is an undeniable record in stone of an early and widespread Templar presence in the Western Highlands." St Andrew's Society of Williamsburg) I think it's only reasonable that a reference is found for the statement that "The swords shown on many of the stones refer to warrior (or, more broadly, social) status, and have no connection with the Templars or other medieval military orders, as is sometimes suggested." Ben MacDui (Talk) 19:25, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A great deal of what Baigent and Leigh talked about in Holy Blood Holy Grail was sheer speculation that has since been debunked. For example, they tried to link Jesus Christ to the Merovingians, based on the link that Merowig's mother was said to be a sea monster, and the early Christian symbol was a fish.  ;)  Or in other words, they don't meet the standard of "reliable source."  I do agree, however, that the link that you found is worth adding to the article. For example, its sentence, "A bookstore owner in Lochgilphead told us that the business about the Templars having been in that area is all a hoax." --Elonka 16:59, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have the sense that "linear" is getting the wrong emphasis. The LVDT measures displacement along a line, but the output of the LVDT is a very nearly linear function of that displacement. See the callout of "linear range" at this external link at Figure D.
Furthermore, an LVDT has long, slender, coils to avoid troubling end effects. See illustration at Figure A (coils should be even more slender). Sadly, the current WP illustration shows short stubby coils.

Talk:Santo Versace

message: A. Each fact is not referenced with an appropriate reliable reference. There are some citations that still need to be made.There are several References and citations, but it is not complete yet. 
B. Everything in the article is relevant to the articles topic as it is about Santo Versace himself. There is nothing that distracted me, but there is certainly more biographical information that can be added. There are barely any Sections. 
C. The article is mainly neutral as it states facts and information on the life of Santo Versace. There isn't any sentences that say he is the best or any other biased information. There is a line, " quickly became one of the industry's leading and most well-respected businesspeople" that could slightly be seen as an opinion instead of a fact because it is missing a citation/reference that backs up the statement.
D. The information comes from some good sources, some bad, and some irrelevant. The first source came from (www.notablebiographies.com) which is a credible source. The source that comes from (www.bloomberg.com) I think is a bad source as it is practically a rating or review of the brand and it has nothing to do with the biography of Santo Versace. There are other sources that are not credible and irrelevant such as the link to a youtube video with music star Bruno Mars singing a song that has the word "Versace". The first source is neutral, but source that comes from an interview with Donatella Versace could be seen as biased.
E. There isn't really any viewpoints that are over or underrepresented as it is just a biography with facts about Santo Versace.
F. I checked the citations and they do work. I did not detect any paraphrasing or plagiarism in the article. 
G. There is no information that is out of date, but there is information that could be added. Starting with missing citations and some more information about his recognitions and post career life could be added.
I think more information about Santo Versace needs to be added. Anywhere from his personal life and career life, to where is brand stands today. More reliable sources need to be added and used.

message: As far as I can tell, the current team based in Narva (Narva PSK) are a separate entity from the former Narva based team (Narva 2000/Narva Kreenholm), and that PSK was founded in 2003 following the dissolution of Narva 2000/Kreenholm. For this reason, I have only included Meistriliiga championships won post 2003.
However, I'm not Estonian, nor can I read Estonian so I have had to translate any information I've found into English; thus my knowledge is incomplete.

Talk:Baćin massacre

message: Requires substantial clarification. If 56 were killed at Krečane, how many were killed at Hrvatska Dubica and Cerovljani and which killings are taken into account so that a total figure of 83 killed can be reached?  23 editor (talk) 15:18, 13 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Indeed 56 bodies were recovered from the mass grave at Krečane. However, a number of people were not buried - their bodies were thrown into Una (and there was possibility that the river flow washed away a number of bodies in the period while the bodies were left unburied or from the shallow grave at Krečane - not my "research" but an ICTY conclusion contained in the Martić vertict). This is to say that the number of 56 is correct as far as the number of exhumed bodies at Krečane. The number of 83 killed (at the minimum) at Krečane on the same day or around that day was produced at the Martić trial (referenced inline) consisting of 43 detained in Dubica, 30 in Baćin (admittedly 2 of those 30 were buried in Dubica and 1 in Baćin itself), and 10 from Cerovljani. The figure was, of course, limited to those persons whose death was ascertained by the ICTY beyond reasonable doubt - others are excluded. Perhaps the article would benefit from a simple (or simpler) clarification than this, so if you could chip in, I'd be most grateful. Cheers.--Tomobe03 (talk) 19:44, 15 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Pycnonotus

message: The lead says:
Pycnonotus is a paraphyletic genus of songbird in the bulbul family (Pycnonotidae).
According to the definition of a paraphyly, it's a phylum that includes its last common ancestral clade, but which excludes one or more clades descended from that common ancestor.  As, for example, tetrapods are not fishes; so "fish" is a paraphyly.
In taxonomy, a group is paraphyletic if it consists of the group's last common ancestor and all descendants of that ancestor excluding a few—typically only one or two—monophyletic subgroups.
If the statement in the lead para is true, then Pycnonotus must exclude at least one clade.  But which one?  The article doesn't say.  Nor does it give a reference that helps the reader answer that question.  Lacking that information, one must doubt whether the genus Pycnonotus is a paraphyly.  yoyo (talk) 06:30, 22 December 2019 (UTC)
