Talk:Richard Thomas (actor)

message: The article stated he had a total of five children.  I changed it to reflect a daughter with his second wife (source: Playbill for his touring version of "12 Angry Men").  However, the same Playbill states he has a total of SEVEN children, five by his first wife, two by his second, although only his son and daughter by his current wife are named.

**Note**   In the first paragraph this is very confusing to the reader to the direction of the river.  It is not until the second paragraph that this statement is corrected.  Please clarify this sentence** 
I've moved the alt name Nebraska River down a bit in the introduction. I don't think it's appropriate to use Plate River (or Nebraska River) form since it makes it seem like the title is an alternate name. Definitely no one calls it by the name anymore.

message: * I have an issue with the statement, "The medium was unique in that it used only sound." Apart from seeming obvious (it uses sound doncha know?) it seems to be suggesting that radio is no more. sugarfish 04:08 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
ITMA was from the 1940s and The Goon Show ran from 1951 - 1960, but they're both listed as Modern shows. At what point does Old-time radio become Modern Radio??? - Lee M 18:26, 22 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: The medium is unique in that it only uses sound. Since the advent of television radio has remained popular because there are several advantages to a sound-only medium. Firstly it is possible to drive a car while listening to the radio and still keep your eyes on the road. Secondly it is possible to operate power machinery while listening to a radio, where television would be too distracting. Thirdly radio works well as a medium of entertainment for factory assembly line workers. Fourthly it is possible to run a radio station on a much lower budget than a television station. Fifthly a radio can be tiny and portable, where a tiny television is only a novelty item. Large size would be desirable for a tv screen. Sixthly radio is a medium for blind or partially sighted people as well as everyone else.

Talk:Prime reciprocal magic square

message: Question for anyone out there who knows.  In a prime reciprocal magic square, what does "Base" mean when talking about the "prime in a base"?  If you know the answer to this question and would be willing to share your knowledge, please contact me at john.mitchell@saturnset.com. no i dont think ya'll r smart!!!!!!!!!
:I am _assuming_ that they show that pattern using a non-base 10 numbering system. For example, binary is base 2. While knowledge of binary is fairly common, few people realize that other bases can be used to represent numbers to a degree of precision higher then one unit, such as is found in 1.011010... (a rough approximation of sqrt(2) in base binary). 68.62.174.27 22:48, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

In French, the word era is still associated with the religious term Christian era (Anno Domini), and so it is perhaps less used as a general term for any given moment of history.

replies: text: I object to this advice. Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors.  More importantly, any prohibition on realistic pictures of any human anatomy destroys the educational value of the picture.  We show medical students realistic pictures (and actual examples) of all parts of the human body, so they can know what they are supposed to look like, have an understanding of the range of phenotypes, and have a better understanding of the details of physiology.  I don't see any reason why the general public shouldn't be entitled to the best quality information on these subjects, as well.  Also, this particular list is associated with a particular value system, which not all Wikipedia readers share.  Some find pictures of any female anatomy, including uncovered heads and ankles, to be quite offensive. -- Beland 19:04, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:WWKB

message: Please understand that WKBW Radio is no longer a radio station in Buffalo. At the time of sale WKBW-AM became WWKB-AM radio. Recently they have tried to link themselves with the former WKBW radio for baby boomer rating purposes. A tribute site to the former WKBW-AM radio is: www.wkbwradio.com
I corrected a few mistakes on this page. First, neither WWKB (nor any other US AM radio station) has a 100,000 watt transmitter. The legal maximum is 50,000 watts.
Secondly, the link to DJ "Jackson Armstrong" is completely false, because it links to some Canadian historian and actor. The DJ's real name is John Larsh, and he began using the "Jack Armstrong" alias in Cleveland at WIXY in 1966. Originally, Jack Armstrong was a copyrighted name for the DJ in the evening time slot, and referred to the 1930s radio serial "Jack Armstrong, the All American Boy."
When Larsh left the station in 1967 to join a competitor, he could not use the name "Jack Armstrong" because of the copyright. He instead began calling himself "Big Jack" and later, "Jackson W. Armstrong" to taunt WIXY and their copyright. That is where the mistaken reference in this article came from. He has used the alias "Jack Armstrong" ever since he began working at WMEX in Boston in 1968. -- Elaich 04:31, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pedestal/Archive 1

message: In Australia (and possibly elsewhere) there seems to be widespread use of the word plinth to describe a rectangular treatment table or bed used for patients - it is commonly used by Occupational Therapists, Physiotherapists, Podiatrists and the like and by the manufacturers of such equipment.  However, when searching I only came across the architectural definitions - and this was surprising.  I'm guessing that perhaps the large rectangular block aspect might suggest that early physical treatments were conducted on similar blocks....but could locate no reference to such.

Talk:Mark of the Beast (disambiguation)

message: This should be merged with Number of the Beast (numerology) --Delirium 20:11 22 Jul 2003 (UTC)
Should NOT be merged with Number of the Beast (666) because the number (666) is different then the "Mark" (Greek, Caragma = Money). 
The Greek word mistranslated as Mark is MONEY the correct, in context translation is: "No one buys or sells without the MONEY of the beast on/in mind or hand."
This article is a mess, having been gutted and replaced with completely NPOV info. It's one thing to state that some people think such a thing, and another to just have it look like this is the absolute facts as said by Wikipedia. I think someone should go through the history, put the article back together in an NPOV format, and then it should be left alone or protected, if necessary. Pulsemeat 7 July 2005 04:12 (UTC)
Can this article be fixed? Caragma and Carachya are in reference to the book of Revelation written by John on the island of Patmos while he was sent to exile. John was the only of the original twelve disciples that followed Jesus and his ministry while he was on earth, that did not fear an earthly death and stayed next to Jesus during his death of crucifixion. He was also the only out of the 12 that did not die a terrible premature death, the others being be headed, crucified upside down and stoned to name a few. John received a revelation similar to Daniel with similar attributes to the end of age. 
The movie documentary Mark of The Beast, filmed in 1997 at minute 56 in to the movie he states:
Revelation 13:16 states “Mark” which is identified in the Greek, back of the concordance at point 5480 and 5481 said to be Caragma and Carachya, put together meaning engraving instrument to put an incision in the flesh for a mark. But then he states that 666 is not only a number, but is also a word, and the word it’s the word chiksistigma and can be found at point 5516 in the back of the book. 
(Note: the concordance is not argued you be Holy Spirit inspired but he is I assume mentioning the translation from Greek to English. This movie was a hoot to me how much was accurate to current time, technology that did not exhaust back then)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.225.225.42 (talk) 16:39, 5 November 2019 (UTC)
