Talk:Timeline of Lord Byron

message: While I appreciate the work that went into this, I'm not sure that this is an appropriate wikipedia article.  Perhaps its content could largely be merged into George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron? john k 22:56, 29 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: It could be merged into the main article, but that is already quite long. Byron inspires fascination in many people, and this chronology is, I believe, the only one in existence on the Internet. Therefore it may attract serious Byron scholars to use Wikipedia, something that they otherwise might not do. Surely to have such a chronology available is a good thing. I'm interested in why John Kenney is not sure that this is an appropriate wikipedia article. Surely since wikipedia will never be finished one can't gainsay that there won't be all sorts of appropriatenesses as yet undreamt of. It's always better to add than to take out. People don't have to read this chronology if they aren't interested, but it's there if they want it, quietly and harmlessly spinning away on a server somewhere occupying negligible space!

replies: text: Well, a timeline is not something which is generally found in an encyclopedia.  Particularly a timeline of someone's life.  Most of our articles are either on specific topics, or are lists of other articles on a given theme (or what not).  This doesn't really fit in too well.  I'm not going to argue too hard about this, but this doesn't really seem like an encyclopedia article. john k 16:59, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: See List of themed timelines. Suggest you take this up with the contributors to those articles too if you're right about timelines being unencyclopedic. Matt Stan 20:54, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Speed section is completely bonkers 

message: Most of the stuff that uses Gordon(2001) as a reference needs to be cleaned up and re worked as the source material is old and based on MIG claims on what a production aircraft would have had, which has to be further taken with a grain of salt due to MIG looking for funding and exports for the jet at the time.  Furthermore the wiki article misquotes the book and thus contains wrong information.
I would also like to add that basic knowledge of stealth principles tells us that this aircraft would have been very unstealthy more akin to the Super Hornet in terms of radar returns than the F-22, reasons for this include lack of RAM coating, Canards, large gaps in the airplane, and the shape of the Ventral fins all are extremely unstealthy  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucinator (talk • contribs) 07:39, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Pharmacist

message: Hi wiki guys! I would like your opinion and your corrections for this definition. I think that this definition suits better to the real responsibilities of the pharmacist nowadays. Here it is:
A pharmacist is a health professional who deals with the composition, properties, distribution and use of medicines. The pharmacist provides pharmaceutical information to patients and health professionals, as well as primary health care services, in order to ensure Public Health.

replies: text: Not all pharmacists provide "pharmaceutical information to patients and health professionals". E.g., there are pharmacists in management positions. The current definition in the lead section is sufficient. ―Biochemistry🙴❤ 00:57, 16 November 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Right Now! (magazine)

message: which Charles Moore one is this refering to, disambig page exists. rhyax 00:20, 30 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The article states that Right Now! "reflects right wing, nationalist views". "Right wing" and "nationalist" in the same sentence usually suggest "far right" - is this a reasonable characterisation of the magazine's viewpoint?
It also says that the magazine "has featured interviews with and articles by... Nick Griffin of the British National Party and Jean-Marie Le Pen of the Front National". I think this needs to be elaborated upon - there's a world of difference, for example, between conducting a one-off interview with Griffin (taking care not to endorse his views), and publishing regular articles by him.
The BBC for instance has broadcast numerous interviews with Griffin, but we're unlikely to see "The Nick Griffin Show" on BBC2 any time soon! 217.155.20.163 23:12, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, parts of this don't add up. The article mentions an association with Antony Flew, for example, and Flew can hardly be considered far-right, or likely to have associated himself with a far-right magazine.  It appears unquestionably true that Right Now! has been accused of being far-right, though. --Delirium 20:08, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ford Taunus V4 engine

message: So this is not the same V4 engine that was offered on the British Ford Corsair? Jason404 (talk) 22:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: There are broadly two versions: steel timing gear and fibre timing gears. There are detail variants within this. Fibre gears break the gears. Steel geared engines break in other places first. On a number of Transit vans in the 1970s, I think I've had terminal failures of every component except a cylinder head: timing gears (innumerable), crankshaft (cracked across a main), rockers (regularly), a connecting rod, piston crowns coming off the piston body and even a crankcase that cracked across the bolt hole for a main bearing cap. Once I  had a gearbox casing break in half and the entire contents fall out. Then when the York diesels arrived, we used to go one about how reliable the petrol V4s were! Eventually the vans were replaced by a Volkswagen LT35 that lasted for years and refused to die. Andy Dingley (talk) 19:53, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ford Corsair 

message: If what I'm told is correct this engine was also used in the Ford Mustang I. Imagine that! // Liftarn (talk)
*Right. The Mustang I concept car got the V4 engine of the Ford Cardinal which was destined for US production in the subcompact segment. Then, the Cardinal was moved to Germany where it turned into the Ford Taunus P4. And the P4 got the V4 engine that was designed for the Cardinal project. OnkelFordTaunus (talk) 23:54, 26 December 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ford Mustang I 

message: According to Ford Essex V4 engine the Taunus V4 is "American designed". It also says that Ford of Germany and of UK were developing parallel V4 engines for parallel small van projects until HQ came in and consolidated the divisions, selecting the German Transit as the common van, yet allowing both V4 engine programs to go ahead since they were so far along, which is why the Transit comes with two different V4 engines. Yet this page gives nothing but the most sketchyc and bare outlines, nothing about the origins or design history.

thread_title: Statistics

message: Can someone please revamp this article?..in its current form it reads like a Greenpeace propaganda booklet. Sure the CSA may be partly an attempt to weaken industry regulations. But it also introduces some major emission cuts as well.
Jarwulf 08:38, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right about the article being biased. I could try to add perspective when I get a chance. We just spent a two weeks talking about CSI in my environmental policy class.  Basically the one significant problem is that existing CAA regulations are weakened (in contrast to the SO2 trading program) so that hot spots can become more of a problem. Some enviros think that the strictly enforcing the current clean air act will lead to faster emissions reductions than CSI, but that assumes aggressive enforcement by the EPA.

message: "The official title as introduced is "a bill to amend the Clean Air Act to reduce air pollution through expansion of cap-and-trade programs, to provide an alternative regulatory classification for units subject to the cap and trade program, and for other purposes."
Now, I seriously doubt Inhofe or Barton would want anything to do with a bill having anything to do with cap and trade.

thread_title: Assessment

message: I tried to use a combination of primary and secondary sources from Samuel Cohn's chapter on the Jacquerie from his book entitled Popular Protest in Late Medieval Europe. What I have come to notice during research for this topic is that   this peasant revolt is, overall, under researched. There are very few sources on the matter. I also think that this article and the article on Guillaume Cale could probably be merged.

message: Jacquerie seems to have become a term meaning peasant uprising. For example the 19th century Galician slaughter was called by one author "the last jacquerie or peasant uprising in European history." (see ref in that article). This may merit a note.

message: Wikipedia has done a fine job of presenting country's various demographic and other data in a nice table at the beginning of each wiki entry for each country. These tables include things like language, religion, GDP, population, etc etc.
In this day and age of climate change, a highly important fact now for all of us, is a country's CO2 emissions.
With this in mind, Wikipedia should now report absolute CO2 emissions as well as CO2 emissions per capita, in this same data table, for each country.
If we want to reverse climate change, then we must draw attention to climate change issues wherever possible.   Posting this data along with other important information in all country's tables of data in their respective wiki articles would be an easy and helpful step in the right direction.

message: says 
:The longest female nails to ever exist measure a total of 601.9 cm.
I don't have the source volume, but I see the following problems: 
 "to ever exist" is unknowable. And this is certainly a fact about the past; even if it was current when published, that was five years ago. Changing to "known to ever have existed". 
 601.9 cm =19.75 feet, which is absurdly impossible for a fingernail. The text says "fingernails", plural, and "a total of", but these are easy to overlook in a quick read. That comes to an average length of 19¾ inches per fingernail, = 1ʹ 7¾ʺ, which is astonishing but credible. Editing accordingly.
