Talk:1841 United Kingdom census

Talk:English Electric diesel engines

message: I suggest renaming this article to English Electric diesel engines and expanding it to include all the K, RK and SV engines. Biscuittin (talk) 14:41, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rename 

message: Under the Great Britain sub-heading, this article implies that the Class 201 BR DEMUs (500hp) used a "4SRKT Mark I" engine -- because it says that the class 73 [and classes 205 & 207] have the 4SRKT MkII with a rating of 600hp.  Given the description in the Specification section, which states that the 4RK engine was available with a supercharger only if it was the MkII engine, this seems internally inconsistent.  In any case, I know that the Class 201 had the 4SRKT Mark II engine: it was a difference in the specification of the Napier turbochargers fitted to each, (MS100 vs MS200), which accounted for the difference in power output between the Class 201 and the Classes 205/207/73. 86.140.232.61 (talk) 16:12, 19 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Eryholme–Richmond branch line

message: Hi, I was trying to add initial infoboxes and co-ordinates to the station articles but there appears to be some stations with dubious information against them.
On the branch line I can find no reference to Dalton Gates, the nearest I can find is Dalton Junction which was a former name for Eryholme. Moulton End appears just to be called Moulton and Brompton-on-Swale looks to be called Catterick Bridge in material I have looked at.
The sub-branch is a little more tricky as Butt and Wignall do not appear to cover the line though it is shown on maps and Suggitt gives details of it. It looks like it had 3 stations - Catterick, which is at the start of the line almost adjacent to Catterick Bridge. Catterick Camp, Central or Camp Central depending on the map you look at and a short lived station called California which I have not located the position for.
Has anyone any other information or comments on this before I go and change the article and move the station articles? Keith D (talk) 18:40, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

::==Mechanical wear out disadvantage==
::The transfer mechanics on the railcars for interchange of cargo containers between railcars requires a certain building height. The required measure is lesser than with trailer-on-flatcars, but not negligible. The mandatory requirement to fit under overhead wire for the traction engine electrical power supply led to a minor size of wheels for the railcars. Hence increased degradation of bogeys by wheel wear-out is a cost disadvantage for the system
Basically all is needed here is a statement of the wheel diameter.. with a reference. Oranjblud (talk) 14:41, 12 March 2012 (UTC)

Talk:The Myths and Legends of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table

message: A question about the track timing...  Track 2, "The Lady of the Lake" is uniformly listed as 0:44 in length, which is the length of the male chorus section.  However, there immediately follows want can best be described as a short "underwater piano" piece that I believe is really part of "The Lady of the Lake", but adding that makes the track 1:35.  Note that there is no band on the original LP separating tracks 2 & 3, and the LP has several other errors in the reported timings, (and/or the choral interludes were not considered part of any of the tracks.)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flynwill (talk • contribs) 17:48, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Lower Manhattan–Jamaica/JFK Transportation Project

message: * I have removed the reference to the image :Image:Lower Manhattan-Jamaica JFK Transportation Project.jpg. This image is eligible for speedy deletion because it uses an invalid fair-use rationale; a free map could very easily be created and serve exactly the same purpose.
* I have removed the "Background" section because it is completely unsourced and adds almost nothing to the article. Nearly all its content is already present elsewhere. I have also removed the "Construction" section because of a complete lack of sources, in addition its being somewhat non-encyclopedic.
* The "See also" links are unnecessary. The small article already references Long Island Rail Road, and the NYC Subway has little to do with it.

message: This has recently turned out to be an important practical point for users of the Retrospect Windows backup software, which still allows definition of Backup Sets with a legacy Removable Disk device type that was intended for "super-floppy" devices such as REV.  Until the last major release of that software, the text for the appropriate UI dialog said that RDX devices as well as REV devices should be defined as Removable Disk—which caused problems for users of RDX devices.

Talk:Dame Allan's School/Archive 1

message: Could anyone considering editing this page (particularly students and staff of Dame Allan's Schools) please read Wikipedia:Policies and guidelines before editing the article. All articles must be written from a neutral point of view, and in good English. For example, when explaining controversy, explain what happened, why it was controversial, and the outcome, rather than any particular dislikes you personally had about the situation. If you have any disagreements about the article, discuss them here before making changes. I'll be on hand to revert vandalism and correct spelling :).
On a more positive note, does anyone have any good aerial photos of the school, or pictures of layout e.t.c.? I just added the 'Facilities' section and a picture would probably help clarify everything. Also of interest would be any recent or detailed news articles (there's a lot of small ones about sport and dance but nothing really worth linking- didn't the 2006 Founder's Day service get reported anywhere?) and any more old Allanians to add to the list (my searches return a Lib Dem lawyer, a Geordie now living in Australia, and an Labour MP who may or may not have died several years ago).
As a final note, can anyone confirm if 1705 DAS is an active website? It doesn't look like it (last updated is listed 03/07/2002, but there appears to be newer stuff there about the tercentenary), there isn't much there, and the incessant pop ups are annoying, but maybe worth linking to if it is?
Once again, it's perfectly fine to write uncomplementary things about the school here, as long as you do so from a neutral point of view. For instance, when referring to a particular printer that barely functions, write that 'hardware failure is a regular occurrence', rather than sarcastically stating 'This centre boasts state of the art IT facilities (with a printer noted for its efficiency)'. And remember spelling and grammar! Finally, is there actually an organisation called 'Students Against Hind'? If so, that would definitely be worth a mention here, although I'll understand if the leadership wishes to remain anonymous.
I also added a section about The Staff Pupil Committee and common concerns about its functionality. 81.179.93.249 01:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
Talk:Hand with Reflecting Sphere

message: Moving the following comment by anonymous from article to here:
: Escher will of course appear reflected in the globe, hence the left/right inversion. The reflected subject is not really holding the sphere horizontally either, the spherical mirror simply distorts the angles so that it might look that way to a casual observer. Last, the reflections of the environment are actually more realistic than you might think - most of the reflected objects are either behind the observer's view or some distance to its side, not within sight. This is a less realistic drawing than other reflective sphere drawings by Escher, but it does not bend reality more than marginally. Don't take my word for this, grab a Christmas ornament and a camera and give it a try yourself. There is nothing extremely strange or ambiguous about the geometry in this composition, even though the drawing of course has many possible and more or less profound interpretations.
--GrafZahl 12:47, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: As it is an Escher picture, it cannot be taken at face value. Problems with the picture include: the preliminary hand is holding the globe vertically, while the figure in the picture (presumably Escher) is holding his globe horizontally. Also, the bookshelf, which stretches into the interior perspective, does not appear in the 'external' space around the globe - nothing does.
* the hand is more or less vertical, and such a hand would reflect as shown
* indeed, the sphere does reflect objects that are beyond the vertical plane (into the paper, in front of Escher) and indeed it does, namely the wall that Escher is holding the sphere in front of. He's holding it close to or touching the wall under the bookcase.
Some references I found afterwards:
* panorama calculated from the painting
* shadows, reflections & atmosphere
