Talk:Ultrawave

message: This article really needs a citation or two.  It seems pretty weak.  --Mother Superior 01:22, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd say it needs to be merged with Ansible, and possibly given a better title; maybe "Superluminal communication in fiction", to match Superluminal communication, although personally I prefer to just say "faster-than-light". --DocumentN (talk) 07:00, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

text: Both Ansible and Ultrawave are currently written as articles about the general concept of FTL communication in fiction, as near as I can see; they're about the concept and not the individual words. --DocumentN (talk) 02:17, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree with a merge as well. The two are not equivalent simply because they both involve FTL communication: "ultrawaves" use energy waves, ansibles do not. If someone wants to add a section to the superluminal communication article called "superluminal communication in fiction", I think that would be an excellent idea. That article could use with a bit more meat on its bones. You could link to ansible, ultrawave, and presumably other articles. Aren't there sci-fi series with FTL psychic communication? Even Star Wars had those holographic things, although I don't think they ever mentioned any details about them. Seems like plenty of information to add to superluminal communication.

Talk:Geography of Colorado

message: The Geography of Colorado describes the Front Range as extending from Wyoming to New Mexico.  Properly, "Front Range" refers to the mountain range that extends from Mount Evans to Longs Peak.  By extension, "Front Range" also refers to the area of the High Plains immediately to the east of the Front Range mountains.
The term "Front Range" does not refer to the entire Colorado Piedmont or the Colorado I-25 Corridor.  We confuse people when we use this term improperly.

thread_title: Front Range

message: The article describes the Rio Grande Rift as a "major 'geological formation'" and links to geological formation elsewhere. The link is to the *correct* technical usage of formation, not to the common misuse of "formation" to describe anything for which a non-geologist does not know the real name.
The Rio Grande Rift is most easily described as a major structural and tectonic feature.Scmrak (talk) 16:28, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Freek Show

message: This article isn't too bad, overall, but the tone kind of loses the neutral point of view at some points (like describing a music video as "DEVASTATING"- even if it is, that's not really encyclopedic in that context)- also, where did most of this infomation come from?  (If it came from the liner notes on the CD, that should be cited.)  Aren't those lyrics probably copyrighted?  Some sources and such would be good and improve the overall article, so it has been tagged. Fisheromen 01:34, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Sony Cyber-shot DSC-R1

message: In line with the existance of articles for discontinued cameras like Canon PowerShot Pro1, Fujifilm Finepix S9500, Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30 and many many other ones, there doesn't seem to be a good case for removing the article on this notable camera which was the first digicam (and only one of two to date) to boast a large APS-C sensor (more than 4 times larger than the 2/3" sensor of other advanced digicams). The way the camera was proposed for deletion then deleting it as quickly as was done and the reasons given for deletion all sound very strange to me. Is Wikipedia a catalog for Canon, Fujifilm or Panasonic products for having articles for the mentioned discontinued models?!!!!
Mike876 (talk) 15:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You might want to read Wikipedia:Other stuff exists, as the existence of other unnecessary or poor-quality articles is not a valid reason for retaining this particular article. The reason that all of the individual Sony digicam articles were merged into the Cyber-shot article is because the individual articles simply appeared to be lists of specifications from Sony catalogues. If this or other Cybershot cameras are especially deserving of articles in their own right, then information showing this should be added to the articles. Note that this article currently does not include any reference citations for verification, so risks being nominated for deletion at a future date. --DAJF (talk) 22:56, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Among Sony Cybershot cameras this is the only camera with a large APS-C sensor (21.5x14.4mm), no other Cybershot has ever had anything larger than 2/3" sensor(8.8x6.6mm, ie less than quarter the area of the R1's sensor). These sensor sizes are facts that can be easily checked in the specification sheets. I suppose that's an undisputed fact that make the R1 stands out among Cybershots. It also stands out among digicams of all brands in being the FIRST EVER digicam to have a sensor larger than 2/3" sensor (by a big difference)and to date the only one other digicam Sigma DP1 that has a sensor large than 2/3". 
If there are any other statements that make unreferenced claims about the R1, then in a worst-case-scenario the solution is to delete these statements not the entire article of such a notable product. If every article with some controversial statements is deleted, a huge percentage of Wikipedia would disappear. Best regards, Mike Mike876 (talk) 22:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: This article is full of non-sourced "original research" with a non-neutral POV and most of the content is not consistent with the Wikipedia requirement that "Wikipedia content is intended to be factual, notable, verifiable with external sources, and neutrally presented, with external sources cited."  What a specific administrative individual at a radio station is doing after a format change is not something that more than a handful of people would care about, and even fewer people would ever launch a search to determine.

Talk:Banker's draft

message: I want to know if the person receiving a banker's draft can get the funds in cash from his bank, or whether he has to wait.  I.e. does it function like a postal order or like a cheque for the recipient.  The article doesn't tell me. 
:Hey there 193.36.240.5.  If you write four ~ characters at the end of your comment you'll "sign" it, so we can see who posted and when really easily.  Anyhow, to answer your question, it is on the edges of my unerstanding, so I would rather guess here than put erroneous information into the article.  In the UK if you "cross" a cheque or (I think) a banker's draft it can only be paid into an account, you can't endorse it and hand it over to a teller for cash.  Crossing cheques (marking them A/C Payee) has been common practice in the UK for many years.  You could, I guess get a draft made out to "cash" but that would be a tad pointless, why not just get the cash out in the first place?  It also makes it like a bearer cheque, as in whoever holds it has the value.  Bad news if you drop it en-route to the bank.  Hope that helps.  LeeG 21:16, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Economic history of France

message: I've replaced the "References/Early Modern" section here -- many were in French, and some were not about economic history -- with a "Selected Bibliography" covering the entire subject, of works in English only. Made an effort to avoid throwing in the "old classics", instead listing new & interesting works. 
There's an awful lot written on this subject, much of the very best of it in French and sadly un-translated so far. The effort here tho is to attract / interest / entice the average eng:Wikipedia article reader, whose French if existing is rusty & certainly does not extend to economics lit., and who doesn't want to re-learn all of Econ 101 anyway but just wants something good to read on this precise topic. Hope this is OK.
