Wikipedia talk:Chemical sources

message: I have started this page to contain a full list of all external sources for chemical compound data (of whichever kind).  For now:
* The lists are unsorted.
* Please add any links to full compounds on sites which are not yet here, or add the name of sites which you feel should be here.  Do not change anything in the link to the compound, for now I don't care about which compound it links to, it should just be a working link.
* There is not yet a page linking here, they should later link to a special page.
:some chemical pages now link to this page.
* If you know how to, and/or can create a special-page (of the type Special:Booksources), can you please drop Dirk Beetstra and/or Martin Walker a line?
* Most of the checking of the external links still has to be done, I could use some help, there.
Cheers!  --Dirk Beetstra T C 22:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

I consider it virtuous.
Many Wikpedia pages now seem to be stagnating. However, since I am too lazy to do much about that I guess I have no justification to complain. Thus I turn to pages like this to see things evolve on Wikipedia.

message: Hi all, a running copy of special:chemicalsources can be found on .  That site will be taken offline again in a couple of weeks, after which I hope we have a reasonable overview whether or not this functionality would be useful for wikipedia, and hence should be enabled on wikipedia itself, or that this functionality is not necessary.  Could I ask you all to visit that site, try the specialpage, and, when you are there, also the <chemform> tag, and comment on these on my talkpage on that wikipedia (here).
In the meantime, this site still needs quite some updating, it looks quite messy.  I am not sure if this is a final format, or that things should be totally revamped (of course all the sites with a (?) should be examined, and turned into appropriate links).  I'd also like some comments on that, which can be posted here.  Cheers!  --Dirk Beetstra T C 13:14, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

message: This article claims that Einstein Plus Two was an attempt to "debunk" Einstein. That claim isn't accurate. It is an attempt to formulate a theory that explains the same things, but doesn't rely on Einstein's premises. The word "debunk" ought to be removed. I suggest a wording something along the lines of "a fringe theory of physics proposed an an alternative to Einstein's special relativity". The book doesn't actually attempt to refute Einstein's theory.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.118.176.10 (talk) 15:08, 18 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: [[Einstein Plus Two]]

message: I worked for Petr Beckmann as a mail clerk in 1981, and we remained friends until he died. I frankly expected the page to be full of smears and distortions, but the information presented at this time tallies fairly well with my personal recollections.  
Prof. Beckmann did join the editorial board of The Intellectual Activist, but resigned along with most others following publication of Peter Schwartz' series titled "Libertarianism: Perversion of Liberty." He also resigned from a Reason Magazine board, but I believe it was on account of their weak defense policies. Prof. Beckmann spoke kindly of the organizers of the Libertarian Party. 
He did work on the radar project for the British during WWII, after watching National Socialist armies take over his country. A novel describing the use of the project, Glide Path, was published by another physicist who worked on it, Arthur C. Clark, better known for his science fiction. 
Beckmann did not write Einstein Plus 2 to debunk Einstein any more than Einstein wrote the relativity papers to debunk Newton. Both wrote because of discrepancies between theory predictions and measurements. Unfortunately, both men also came up with explanations that are difficult for laymen to follow. But just as Einstein was interested measurements of the speed of light not matching theory, Beckmann comes up with different perspectives and cites experiments, sources, data and spells out the math, albeit at a dizzying height, to focus on tiny discrepancies and delve into their whys and wherefores. If there is error there, someone will probably notice it someday. The man had a library of thousands of scientific volumes in at least five languages and was a tireless worker. For exercise he rode a mountain bike up and down steep Rocky Mountain slopes and was nearly killed once in a collision with a pickup truck. jhenryphillips.com translator (talk) 00:52, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Traditional grip

message: Granted, when playing traditional grip, the hands are not matched but in the photo, the sticks aren't matched either!! Would that give people the impression that in traditional grip, it is 'traditional' to use unmatched sticks?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.30.217.119 (talk) 11:55, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else think this is silly? It's kind of like having a list of "Notable people that own computers" in an article about computers.

Brad Halls (talk) 23:22, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notable percussionists using traditional grip today 

message: I was previously the user User:Geekmug and made the edit of the following explaination:
: The overhand grip most commonly used is the American grip. With the underhand grip, there are several different techniques employed which involve slight variations in finger positioning and usage. Common with all techniques is the usage of the wrist in rotating (a motion like turning a door knob) as the fundamental motion of the stick. The stick then rest in the space between the thumb and index finger, and the two fingers close around the stick with the thumb atop the index at the first knuckle. The middle finger then rests slightly on top side of the stick (typically the side fingertip is the only contact made). The stick then rests on the cuticle of the ring finger with the pinky support the ring finger from below.
Which was reverted User:Jptwo under the guise of "(rework and tighten underhand grip description)" to basically what was contained in the article today (except for some minor word changes). In the spirit of "being bold", I am going to recommit my edit because I still find the description given lacking and mine is more complete. If you don't like it, then it can be reverted, but since there is no talk page here, I am going to assume that no one will mind.

Talk:Todd Platts

message: User FebrileCortex has twice inserted the following three sentences which are a clear violation of Wikipedia’s Neutral Point of View (NPOV) policy, and should not be resinerted into the article on “Todd Russell Platts”:
“As a Congressman, Platts has a mediocre record. He has voted 90% of the time with Tom DeLay, who recently resigned in disgrace, and more than 80% of the time with George W. Bush. Since taking office in 2001, Platts has NOT authored one significant piece of legislation."
It is clearly biased to declare that someone has a “mediocre record,” to state that they have voted with a “disgraced” member of Congress, or to state that someone has not authored one “significant” piece of legislation. --Nsb2119 22:48, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

message: The article as currently written suggests that the word "Franzosenkrankheit" was used for syphilis only if it was contracted in that area of Strasbourg. That seems a bit odd to me. The German-language article on Strasbourg (:de:Straßburg#Sehenswürdigkeiten und Baudenkmäler) says there used to be a military hospital on the island where German soldiers were treated for syphilis.

message: Hello Fellow Wikipedians! It's come to my attention now that the first paragraph of this article may be a little too forceful to fit our neutrality principles, and, perhaps more importantly, also lacks any citations. The end of the first paragraph read: "The campaign produced detailed Maoist interpretations of Chinese history, and was used as a tool by the Gang of Four to attack their enemies." The first part of this sentence is suitable, but needs a proper citation nonetheless. The second part is not neutral enough in tone to stay even if properly cited. I'm removing the sentence for now, but I encourage a fellow Wikipedian to re-write the bit with proper citation.
