Talk:Theory of imperialism

message: * theories of imperialism - an article started by the banned user Vera Cruz. Contains nothing more than redundant material borrowed from another page, on which this same material is posted.
** It was created by Vera Cruz before that user was banned. The presence of redundant material has never been a reason for deletion. It is a reason for rewriting, redirecting, or the removal of the redundant material from the more general article (i.e. splitting). Keep. -- Tim Starling 03:24 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Life under Taliban rule

message: *Life under Taliban rule - i don't see anything enciclopedic on this one. It was a piece of news during the Afgan war. It's a very dated article: will it be interesting in 10 years? Muriel Gottrop 11:23 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)
**I don't understand why you want to delete this.  This is history, not news.  These were things that did happen under Taliban rule.  RickK 19:15 26 Jul 2003 (UTC)

**It was moved from the main Taliban article by User:Ed Poor. I would keep it. --Jiang 03:27 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
**Seems fine to me.  Of recent interest, yes, but that doesn't make it less worthy of being an article.  I think it is a long-term piece.  Daniel Quinlan 05:37 27 Jul 2003 (UTC)
*I still think that the article could be easily replaced by a setence in Taliban. Lists of atrocities are not my idea of an encyclopedia. Next thing somebody is making an article like: List of experiments on jews during second WW. Muriel Gottrop 13:23 28 Jul 2003 (UTC)
** I think that's a bit of a straw man. A much more general article like: "Nazi treatment of Jews" would be encyclopedic and useful. We almost have that, actually, it's called Holocaust (although it does lack mention of pre-Holocaust stuff like Kristallnacht). In the case of the Taliban, it is just placed the Life under Taliban rule page. Daniel Quinlan 01:50, Jul 30, 2003 (UTC)

There are a lot of genetic diseases like that. Check out OMIM for more. Sadly, there is a movement towards giving them boring names ('Donohue Syndrome') instead of cool ones like "Happy Puppet Syndrome" and "Leprechaunism." 132.241.163.248 (talk) 23:26, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:A capella

message: We could probably discuss this spelling for ever. Somebody has even created a web page about it. 
According to The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, the most widely accepted spelling is a cappella. Many web pages 
  
and the A-Cappella Music FAQ  
agree. 
Some writers    use a cappella in their own writing, reserving a capella for quotations, titles and meta tags, acknowleding it to be incorrect. Others  , and The Columbia Guide to Standard American English, acknowledge what people are actually writing and hedge their bets, accepting a capella as a valid alternative spelling. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary takes this position, yet also confirms that Capelle means goat and is the name of a star.
Some apparently authoritative sources also concede  acappella as a most popular de facto usage.
Some writers       
 use both a cappella and a capella without appearing to notice the variation. Sometimes they are humorous.
One widely quoted purist   in support of a cappella alleges
:In truth, a capella means in your hair, a cappello means in your hat, and A Capella is an astronomical reference to the first planet circling the star Capella in the constellation Auriga. 
The popular vote: Google finds 247,000 hits for a capella, 205,000 for a cappella and 77,600 for acappella.

Talk:Delhi

message: I am writing to request that the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s logo be added to the Delhi Wikipedia page in the logo section. As you may know, many cities without a flag or logo use their municipal logo as a symbol of their identity. Examples include Lucknow, Ankara, and New Delhi, etc.
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi is the governing body of most of Delhi, providing civic services to a population of about 20 million citizens in the capital city 1. It is one of the largest municipal bodies in the world, with an annual budget of over ₹16,000 crore (~US$1.95 billion) 1. The corporation covers an area of 1,397.3 km² (539.5 mi²).
Adding the Municipal Corporation of Delhi’s logo to the Delhi Wikipedia page would help to provide a more complete picture of the city’s identity and governance.  I believe that this would be a valuable addition to the page and would help to make it more informative and engaging for readers.
Thank you for your consideration.

Talk:Rise of the New Imperialism

message: I have removed the last paragraph in Securing foreign trade is unreadable. It is one long sentence with nonsensical grammar:
:In these non-industrial regions (such as the Russian and Ottoman empires), which were the principal sources of surplus French capital, and other overseas territories that lacked both the knowledge and the power to direct the capital flow, served to colonies rather than develop them, destroying native industries and creating dangerous political and economic pressures which would, in time, produce the so-called 'north/south divide'.

Talk:Shin'ichirō Tomonaga

message: What's that mean, he was the first boy?  He had older sisters who aren't even worth thinking about?  Can someone with the info fix this?  Thanks. Phr (talk) 04:14, 2 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Shin'ichiro was Sanjuro's second child, with one older sister, one younger brother, one younger sister. "Born ... as the first boy" might come from a possible sentence of 長男として生まれた that could have been in some reference, with the term 長男 (chōnan) literally meaning "eldest boy". Back then, the sex of any children were considered important, so being 長男 was a singnificant matter (and often, that's still the case in Japan). I don't see much problem here, but maybe I should change it to "second child" so it'd be more gender-neutral. --朝彦 (Asahiko) 10:54, 3 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  A year before the americans? 

message: "During the war he studied the magnetron, meson theory, and his "super-many-time" theory."
Is there any evidence that Tomonaga was attracted to magnetron -  vacuum tube that generates microwaves using the interaction of a stream of electrons with a magnetic field while moving past a series of open metal cavities (cavity resonators)? Or, was that time the word "magnetron" used as a name for some quantum particle (like for a supposed element of magnetism)?
Thanks for explanation.

message: A star destroyer is not a weapon!  Its a starship.  A weapon would denote a handheld object used to defend oneself.  ("Oh yeah, let me just draw my Star Destroyer here.")
:As opposed to, "Oh let me fire my rocket (which isn't handheld or portable at all! so I'm not really attacking you with a weapon- your immiment fiery demise is merely a coincidence) at you"?  A rocket(/bomb/artillery/bomber/fighter jet/cruise missile/nuke/trebuchet/etc.) is certainly a weapon, but certainly is not hand-held. --Maru
::Take it easy mate.  Anyway, the difference is that with a rocket launcher the rocket is desigened to be shot at a person wheras a Star Destroyer is meant to shoot other starships and and contains a bunch of weapons which are fired from it.  (i.e. the F-14 is not a weapon, the Sidewinder missile is)  Also the only Star Destroyer that can be handled by a single person is the light Carrak class so it coudnd't be used by a single person anyway.

thread_title:  Politician 

message: I'm not satisfied that the author of School Shootings and Massacres and a book specific to Columbine is notable.  Based on what i've heard so far, IMO he should become prominent, for 
# individualizing the psychopathologies (sociopathic bully and passive follower),
# debunking 
## the "school shooting" model (he calls it a terror-bombing plot that merely found the school its easiest target, and failed into a shooting) and 
## the "members of the Trenchcoat Mafia" story, 
#: and
# detailing the police strategy based on the assumption they were in a hostage negotiation, and thus failing to intervene in what was in fact a full-blown, non-negotiable, massacre.
If/when he makes the grade, here's appropriate markup:
Joseph Lieberman may refer to 
* Joe Lieberman (born 1942), American politician
* Joseph Lieberman (author) (fl. 2000s), American journalist

message: — Assignment last updated by Brennam29 (talk) 15:21, 21 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Wiki Education assignment: Technical and Scientific Communication

message: The introductory paragraph says that X-rays have a frequency range of 30 PHz to 30 EHz, so that the limit frequencies are a factor of 1000 apart.  Since photon energy is directly proportional to frequency, X-rays should therefore cover a range of energies with a 1000-fold difference between the highest energy and the lowest energy.
However, the energy range given for X-rays in the same paragraph is 145 eV (electron volts) to 124 KeV; the extremes differ not by a factor of 1000, but of approximately 855.
WolframAlpha says that 30 PHz corresponds to a photon energy of 124 eV, not 145 eV.  Should I therefore change the lower energy limit of "145 eV" to "124 eV"?
