Talk:Maynard Jack Ramsay

message: My condolences on the death of your grandfather, User:Adraeus.  I think you have crafted this article a little bit too much like a reading at a funeral.  It's unfortunate that most of the sources for this article are behind subscriber sites. It really needs to be more encyclopedic in it's tone and content. --Randolph 17:42, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. I'm aware of its tone and content, which is why I requested the cleanup taskforce to fix it up by wikifying it and rewriting the article to prevent copyright violations. The New York Times wrote an original obituary using various sources, including from within the family. Other newspapers, like the Washington Post, simply copied our biography of "Doc" Ramsay with little to no editing. The content in this article is mostly from the New York Times' version, but I started rewriting it at the first paragraph. Adraeus 17:58, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: My grandfather was a friend and co-worker of one of the men (Lyle Goodhue, William Sullivan) who developed a small aerosol can pressurized by a liquefied gas (a fluorocarbon) in 1943. He tested one of the first early prototypes of that aerosol can, and had it in his garage in New York for awhile. Unfortunately, when it was time to move they trashed the aerosol can because at the time it wasn't considered as valuable as it would be to a museum today. Sad. Adraeus 06:57, 3 May 2005 (UTC)

Template talk:ComicBookBox

message: I see several major problems with this box as it stands:
# It's too wide.  is already too wide, probably the widest infobox on Wikipedia, and needs to be cut down. Adding another TWO of the same width isn't the best of ideas.
# What does "Scenarist" mean? Rename or remove.
# Authors - is this a complete listing of writers and artists to have worked on the book (the box might get scarily long) or current listing in the case of ongoing books? And if the latter, what about cancelled/completed comics that have had multiple writers/artists?
# Leading on from that, is this ONLY for ongoing comics? 
# ISBNs - no, comics don't have them.
# Publication frequency is often variable, between writer/artist lateness and occasional fortnightly issues of monthly comics.
I think this needs some serious rethinking. - SoM 17:55, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: I think that this page would work better as a redirect to King of the Hill (game), which contains everything that is present here, and more.

message: The map in this article includes Crimea in the territory of Russia. Surely Wikipedia keeps to borders set by international agreement. In this case, the boarders of Ukraine, including Crimea within Ukrainian territory, are not only defined very clearly internationally, but the Russian Federation after the collapse of the Soviet Union agreed to those boarders. Surely, Wikipedia needs to observe international norms respecting national boarders, albeit while acknowledging those that are occupied by some other national entity. 88.230.129.181 (talk) 13:14, 30 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Magneto-optic effect

message: This stuff is way outside my field but it seemed like this sentence was a little odd "A magneto-optic effect is any one of a number of phenomena in which an electromagnetic wave interacts with a magnetic field, or with matter under the influence of a magnetic field." 
Isn't this about a light wave interacting with a magnetic field? If not, where does the "optic" part come in? --Lee Hunter 19:25, 2 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's currently very confusingly worded.  In classical E&M, light can't interact with a magnetic field.  What's happenning is that the magnetic field is changing the properties of the material (similar to the electric field-induced pockels and Kerr effects), which affects the light propagating through that material.  Unfortunately I've never worked with this effect personally, so I really can't add anything else. --Laura Scudder | Talk 20:01, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The last sentence of the lead reads:
May I ask, does this intend that the two gyrotropic materials are chemically and crystallographically the same apart from the optical difference? Organic chemists are familiar with apparently (apart from the present concern) pure substances that crystallize into two different crystal forms that are chirally different, but otherwise the same. These are called optical isomers.

Why are Romeo and Juliet here?  Romeo poisoned himself; Juliet stabbed herself with his dagger.  JHCC 13:57, 5 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's the same concept. Two lovers dying rather than living separately. Different methods, exact same idea. --BDD 13:54, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Similar idea, but not exactly the same: R & J did not commit suicide together.  Romeo took poison when he thought that Juliet had already died; Juliet stabbed herself when she woke from her drugged sleep and found Romeo dead.  If you absolutely have to include them, put in something along the lines of "like Romeo and Juliet, preferring death to life apart."  Either that, or find a better analogy.  "Mutual death" is bad as well (I'm going to change it in the article), because mutual is for something that two or more parties do to each other, not that they do to themselves simultaneously.  "Mutual generosity", for example, is giving gifts to each other.  JHCC 17:27, 6 May 2005 (UTC)
