message: The height of this building cannot be 65m and 93m at the same time. Was the pyramid built on a hill in the landscape or is the hill man-made (as Egyptian_pyramids#Meidum says)? http://skyscraperpage.com/diagrams/?buildingID=10080 What could the original height have been?

thread_title:  Height? 

message: First, who is "some"? Second, what exactly do these "some" base their theory on? 
There are a number of good reasons why Mendelssohn's "collapse during building" theory is at least controversial in Egyptology, if not outright outdated and refuted.
The article does not cover that, and cites Mendelssohn exclusively as this would be the only and last word on what happened at Meidum. Please improve this. 31.18.115.57 (talk) 10:14, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, the article on Sneferu's predecessor Huni discusses the Meidum pyramid a bit and mentions later authors' opinions that its collapse was a gradual, drawn-out process long after it had been built, rather than a catastrophic event during its construction. The account here needs to be updated. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 07:48, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Gudit

message: The sources I've seen (like this one) put Judith in the late 9th century (in this case 850-890), not the late 900s. I've seen other pages about the Zagwe/Solomonids where they have the same problem - shifting the dates forward or backward almost a century. Could we have some explanation about where the problem comes from and what the competing theories are? -LlywelynII (talk) 03:00, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Regnal Dates

message: I'm asking this be either cited or striken from the opening paragraph. This is utterly ahistoric nonsense and is only found on unscholarly websites. There is no reliable history from Ethiopia mentioning this. The reality is There were Jewish Kingdoms in Ethiopia, Yemen and Eastern Europe up through the 11th century which were often at odds with the Christian populations. To boil this enmity down to a singular event of bodily mutilation is ridiculous.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8801:9E21:400:6868:7F5C:67B2:6CB6 (talk) 19:43, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

message: reading the article, it say in the introducttion that she was legendary, but in "historicity" that there was a real queen behind the legend, and the article is about both. it is valuable to known about what time were are talkning about in the intro regardless of how it is written)
So 10th century as a possible date for a figure that fed into the legend, which, as Andersen argues, might however, as a Jewish queen reflect the Christian-Beta Israel struggles several centuries later, when this particular tradition arose. Of course it is valuable to know all this: the complexities are in the relevant scholarly papers, which require some effort to paraphrase for this article. The positive thing to do is to familiarize oneself with those works, and make a synthesis, which is what I was endeavouring to do before I was reverted.Nishidani (talk) 13:11, 22 April 2021 (UTC)

message: So, it's 2022, and this article has accumulated exactly 1 (one) ref since it was created in 2004. It's really tempting to delete the whole thing except a one-sentence lede that includes his membership of the ICM, and that's from the man's own writing in 1937. Despite his highly significant mathematical contributions, he gets fewer refs than a 3rd division footballer from Belarus, a species of minute sea snail or a village in Iran with a population of 237. Most of the article's text was contributed by Tripodian, whose last edit was made in 2012. The article on Neugebauer's son Gerry (also mostly written by Tripodian) has the same number of refs, namely 1 (one).

Talk:Thyra

message: It's chronologically pretty much impossible that Thyra's father was Harald Klak. Harald Klak became king (of a part) of Denmark in 812 (and apparently took an active part in the battle(s) preceding this; i.e. he was an adult or at least adolescent at this time). The last thing heard of him was him being driven from Denmark in 827 by the sons of Gudfred, or possibly his death in a battle on the island of Walcheren in 844 (this may refer to another Harald, the brother of Rorik of Dorestad). Thyra's children were born no earlier then in the 910's. The more likely Harald is Harald 'Parc', who died in 894. This Harald 'Parc' was the son of king Guthorm, who ruled in East Anglia in the time of Alfred the Great. Csprrr (talk) 15:53, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Parentage 

message: Please fix if you know the answer. article says:
* .... English king Æthelred of Wessex who also had a son called Æthelstan. 
* Æthelstan was neglected in his fathers will to the benefit at Harald Bluetooth. 
OK that means Æthelred's will left stuff to Harald Bluetooth, not to Æthelstan, his son.
* The king of Norway found it appalling that such a fool should get such a reward, 
OK so Bluetooth is such a fool who got the inhertiance.  
* and hence attacked England, where Æthelstan immediately surrendered. 
ok so why attack Aethelstan if Bluetooth has all the goodies?  Or did he attack the one who was weakest?

Talk:Daytona Beach and Road Course

message: I reverted the photo layout for several reasons The back and forth layout from left to right was making me dizzy. Having all the photos on the right side is the least distraction to the flow of the article. The photos were placed by their associated text. The small size was selected because most of the photos look too fuzzy when enlarged. The pictures of the cars entering the turn on the sand and leaving the same turn on the pavement need to be very close to each other so the reader can understand the surface transition better.

replies: text: Spič was actually renamed to Sutomore by then. --Ruleja (talk) 23:09, 20 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not entirely that it was renamed. Spič is the name of the region spanning along the coast from Željeznica river in the south to Kufin mountain in the north. Sutomore on the other hand is a town. Back in medieval times all the villages where people actually lived were further up in the mountains to be protected from pirate attacks (like many settlements on the montenegrin coast). In the 19th century the pirate threats had subsided and that's when the settlement of Sutomore directly on the coast is first mentioned. Nowdays most people of course live in Sutomore proper, so it's become kind of a name for all the villages around it as well, but technically, Spič and Sutomore are two different things Lukakov512 (talk) 13:39, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Gravity/Archive 5

message: The reference to force by an anonymous author is inappropriate.  That is a description of gravity.  In general relativity, for example, gravitation occurs doe to spacetime curvature instead of a force.  --EMS | Talk 19:33, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Gravitation is a phenomenon, not a mechnism 

message: Dear EMS,
Target of popularization are mostly young people who hope to understand all the physics. For that they don't need to know all the math describing all the physical models that exist. It's enough for them to know the reasons for physical phenomena like gravitation (why things fall).
The simplest gravitational phenomenon is the "gravitational force" (the force that someone sitting on the earth feels as something he's pushing the earht with, or the earth is pushing his butt with). This force is given by an equation F=GMm/r^2. Explanation where this force and equation came from, step by step, IMHO should be what popularization of science of gravitation should start with. Not with history of famous people about whom young people interested in physics rather than history might not care at all. 
Of course the explanation of this force in "Newton's gravitation" is simple: he guessed it. Nobody before about 1915 seemed to understand the reasons for it. 
Einstein knew that Newton's equation was a nearly right model. He tried to guess why it was so nearly right and found the soluton in gravitational time dilation even before he discovered GR. He has understood the reasons for this equation. He was the first human who understood why things fall. What Einstein understood was ... (the stuff you deleted). Using only the concepts that lay people know about and understand (like high school mechanics and calculus) Einstein could explain why this force that is pushing a citizen's butt up has to be almost exactly F=GMm/r^2. And a lay person neither needs to know why is called "general relativity" nor is interested in names of models. IMHO, a lay person is motly interested in physics of the pphenomenon. How the gravitatin works. And all we actually know and can tell them about "gravitational force" is what I have written in "Basics of gravitation". 
I don't think that living the page blank becaue of your ideas what is the right way of popularizing science is doing Wikipedia any good. "Discussion" of Newton's equation in Gravity page does not explain the origin of gravitational force. Jim 12:21, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is for documenting human knowledge.  So unless a given speculation is well established in the literature, it does not belong in Wikipedia.  In addition, there is no such thing as gravitational force in general relativity.  Your claims to have studied GR and very much refuted by your apparent lack of awareness of this very fundamental fact about GR. --EMS | Talk 14:38, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
