thread_title: Other Uses

message: I think the whole discussion on pine tar in baseball should be on a separate page from the info on general and historical uses of pine tar. Someone (a vandal?) recently cut out much of the baseball/pine tar stuff. I did not return it yet because I frankly think the article is better without it, but certainly some baseball fans will disagree. Could someone take the initiative and create a page for pine tar uses in baseball?Ekotekk 07:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Separate pages?

message: I strongly disagree with the suggestion of merging "tar" with "pine tar". Suggest instead distinguishing between "mineral tar" and "pine tar" (or perhaps more generally "plant tar", although I am not familiar with any other plant tars beside pine tar). It is increasingly important to distinguish between renewable resources (e.g. pine tar) and non-renewable resources (e.g. mineral tar). They are not the same material.

message: I can't find any information that verifies that one company had a monopoly on the production of tar in Sweden, a claim that sounds very improbable anyway.

Talk:Louis Slotin

message: The https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demon_core#Second_incident article makes it sound very preventable, and that he brought it on himself by being reckless.  The tone is quite different in this article's intro. — Omegatron (talk) 01:00, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, seriously. The guy's been dead for nearly 75 years. There's no need to be gentle to the point of obfuscation when it's blindingly obvious that the accident was his fault, even considering that safety protocols at the time were still very lax. Harry Daghlian's death is quite a bit easier to see as a mere mistake, albeit one that he should never have been in a position to make (which is why new protocols were implemented after he died). The official narrative about Slotin is very much non-neutral, given the government's interest in not appearing reckless or unconcerned with protecting the scientists it employed. His actions following the accident may have saved lives, but he's the one who put those lives in peril in the first place. WP Ludicer (talk) 22:08, 21 January 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Check the articles on Sievert and Gray. 100 rem = 1 sv. In short; Sievert is a weighted version of Gray that takes into account how "bad" it is to receive the radiation from a medical point of view. Sievert takes into account that different parts of the body handles radiation different, and the type of radiation also matters. Gray is not weighted with medical care in mind.  · · · Omnissiahs hierophant (talk) 01:04, 2 April 2021 (UTC)

message: For example, the line:
* Sudoku 数独 (Number Place, Nine Numbers)
is confusing because it lacks explanation. What I think is really going on here is that 数独 is the game title by Nikoli, Sudoku is the romanization of it, and Number Place and Nine Numbers are other names for the same game play. In Japan, Number Place is the generic term and Sudoku is the trademarked term. Because of this, I believe Nikoli never published Sudoku under the title Number Place. In other countries, perhaps Number Place is the trademarked term while Sudoku is the generic term. I do not know as of now. --JBrown23 (talk) 13:00, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

message: I have reverted the addition of Sproul's AM confession - it was purely a primary source. I see it had been picked up in a couple of outlets, and had thought about adding it.

message: I realize the cry of "fake news" is an old meme, battle-cry, and practically a fallacy in it's own right. But Christian News does not represent a delivery of facts from a narrative.

thread_title:  ChristianNews.net is Not a Legitimate News Website 

message: If I am reading the Wikipedia Manual of Style section "Currencies and monetary values" (WP:CURRENCY) correctly, there is no need, or even warrant, to append .00 (as was done at the end of "Career and family" before I truncated the numbers to whole amounts) when citing monetary quantities (presumably exact), especially as large as those here, well over $100,000. Am laying no accusation of deliberate bias at the feet of any contributor to this article, and my perception may be completely mistaken. But the extra digits, if indeed unnecessary, could look a bit like an attempt to magnify the numbers and thereby to magnify any misdeeds or lapses in judgment on the part of Sproul Jr. or those associated with him. Indeed some sensitive readers might, by reasonable extension, construe the artificially long-format salary and severance values as an attempt to cast aspersions on the religious beliefs with which he inseparably identifies and is identified. --2603:6081:8002:AE78:C572:B691:B196:C08 (talk) 06:16, 8 July 2021 (UTC)

message: Why does this page not have a section on Friday abstinence and fasting in the Orthodox tradition?  The Orthodox churches form the second largest stream of Christian faith, after only Catholicism and certainly include many more worshipers than individual Protestant subsects like Methodism or even Anglicanism/Episcopalism.  Without such a section, this article is obviously and manifestly incomplete.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:569:BC0A:1200:F86F:F226:F222:B1E3 (talk) 21:54, 28 December 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Important Section Completely Absent 

message: In my opionion, the introduction is not quite correct, stating that friday fast includes abstaining from lacticinia and alcohol in all churches resp. denominations. At least for the Roman Catholic church it is consumption of the meat of land animals (and nothing else). That abstinence or fast includes abstaining from alcohol, too, is a rather common error. Medusahead (talk) 09:12, 19 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends on the Christian denomination, but I have edited the lede to make that clear. With respect to the Friday Fast, in the Catholic Church, abstinence from meat is the current norm, while in certain Orthodox traditions, both meat and lacticinia are proscribed; Lutheran traditions recommend against alcohol consumption. I hope this helps. With regards, AnupamTalk 18:55, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Discovery of precession

message: I created this article with a cut-and-paste from Hipparchus, which has outgrown itself. I rewrote almost everything I took from the source article, but kept most of the information. These two paragraphs contain some things I left out, because it was wrong or misleading (see Hipparchus' talk page for more), or because I wasn't sure what to do with it.
:After him many Greek and Arab astronomers had confirmed this phenomenon. Ptolemy compared his catalogue with those of Aristillus, Timocharis, Hipparchus and the observations of Agrippa and Menelaus of Alexandria from the early 1st century and he finally confirmed Hipparchus' empirical fact that the poles of the celestial equator in one Platonic year (approximately 25,777 sidereal years) encircle the ecliptical pole. The diameter of this circle is equal to the inclination of ecliptic relative to the celestial equator. The equinoctial points in this time traverse the whole ecliptic and they move 1° in a century. This velocity is equal to that calculated by Hipparchus. Because of these accordances, Delambre, P. Tannery and other French historians of astronomy had wrongly jumped to conclusions that Ptolemy recorded his star catalogue from Hipparchus' with an ordinary extrapolation. It was not known until 1898 when Marcel Boll and others had found that Ptolemy's catalogue differs from Hipparchus' not only in the number of stars but in other respects.
:This phenomenon was named by Ptolemy just because the vernal point γ leads the Sun. In Latin praecesse means "to overtake" or "to outpass", and today also means to twist or to turn. Its own name shows this phenomenon was discovered before its theoretical explanation, otherwise it would have been given a better term. Many later astronomers, physicists and mathematicians had occupied themselves with this problem, practically and theoretically. The phenomenon itself had opened many new promising solutions in several branches of celestial mechanics: Thabit ibn Qurra's theory of trepidation and oscillation of equinoctial points, Isaac Newton's general gravitational law (which had explained it in full), Leonhard Euler's kinematic equations and Joseph Lagrange's equations of motion, Jean d'Alembert's dynamical theory of the movement of a rigid body, some algebraic solutions for special cases of precession, John Flamsteed's and James Bradley's difficulties in the making of precise telescopic star catalogues, Friedrich Bessel's and Simon Newcomb's measurements of precession, and finally the precession of perihelion in Albert Einstein's general theory of relativity.
The bits on the French historians and post-Newtonian scientists might be worth reworking if someone had the time and inclination. Maestlin 18:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jake Shears

message: Shears mentioned in this month's RS that he lived on one of the San Juan Islands, in the Pacific Northwest. I'd add this info to the page but it should be accompanied the appropriate time period, which wasn't given.
In response to the comment that he is older, I worked with him at Paper magazine five years ago and he was just out of college, so 1978 sounds about right.
:He and my brother were classmates, and I _believe_ he also graduated with the class of '96, so that makes sense.  I'd say he lived on San Juan Island from around '90 to around '96, but I have no hard data there.  Actually, I have to say I remember his sisters better than I do him.
