Talk:Rotary valve

message: The type of rotary valve I am looking for is not for a musical instrument.
The rotary valve I am interested in is used in the Petrochemical industry.
I would imagine the concept is similar, but we need a more discriptive illustration
showing the mechanics of the operation.
See: www.fielddevices.com  item:  Positioners
The diagram of a rotary valve is absolute horrendous and does not in any way lead to a better understanding of what it does, nor does it reveal anything about how it works.  Perhaps someone in the know could improve or suggest a more appropriate diagram.

message: So, in the case of the rotary valve trumpet... does this system make it sound different (I know it does) or make it easier to play (not really) or anything else? And there are several things called rotary valves. This article is about the musical ones. I think this article needs a good fixing! 75.48.30.247 (talk) 21:29, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Trumpet 

message: There doesn't seem to be enough material in this article to split this into "Rotary valves on musical instruments" and "other Rotary Valves". I don't see why this article should be specific to musical instruments when Piston valve is not. I agree that the article needs a good re-organisation, and I can do this and add some diagrams if necessary. There's also an issue of overlap between this article and Four-way valve (this article has an awful diagram too). 
I propose to reorganise this article in generic terms and add it to Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemical_and_Bio_Engineering (there's no reason why it couldn't also remain on musical instruments, or be added to any other project). I'll start work on this in November unless there is any dispute. Wikiwayman (talk) 11:26, 18 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Is this intended to refer to Rotary Airlocks used for feeding materials in industry?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eric Lotze (talk • contribs) 22:52, 26 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Having read both articles, it looks like that was the intention, because only a few airlocks are based on a rotary valve principle. That said, the Rotary Airlock article has some issues with inconsistent naming that are very confusing if a reader is directed from this article to that one. Best thing to do would be to check that the usage of "rotary valve" on the Rotary Airlock page is both correct and commonplace. If so, this article needs to be amended to include that specific use of the term. If it isn't correct, then the airlock article needs some work. Wikiwayman (talk) 13:32, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

message: I don't have the energy to read the discussion on this page. But i've got to say, a bit of the article seems like someone wrote/edited it 1) either in a rush, or 2) after having dropped out of elementary school. Come on, this is Wikipedia. Make the punk band write ups reflective of the bands.. meaning literate. I had to edit a bunch of little things, grammer, etc... As in, parts of it didn't make any sense whatsoever. Maybe someone could put a post on the site's message board for some extreme fans to put in more info, etc. on the article.

Category talk:Provinces and territories of Canada

message: Mnemonic to remember the 11 Canadian Provinces. From "TWO TERRITORIES": 1)YUKON, 2)NORTHWEST, and a native named "BASMOQ" 3)BRITISH COLUMBIA, 4)ALBERTA, 5)SASKATCHEWAN, 6)MANITOBA, 7)ONTARIO & 8)QUEBEC drank 9)MINI-SODA (Minnesota) with 10)PRINCE EDWARD (island) & his four "Ns" 11)NUNAVUT, 12)NEWFOUNLAND & LABRADOR, 13)NEW BRUNSWICK & 14)NOVA SCOTIA.
The problem with the mnemonic above is Canada has 11 provinces and 3 territories.  
A better one is: Billy and Sally Might Make Our Queen Nervous Playing Near Needles. 
(British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Minnesota, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, PEI, Nova Scotia, and Newfoundland)
Then for the territories: You're Not Nice
(Yukon, Northwest Territory and Nunavut)
I've added all the actual articles on the provinces and territories to this category, because that's what this category is for.  The fact that they are also members of specific subcategories shouldn't matter, because they're only in those specific sub-categories as the title articles, or whatever.  john k 17:44, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

: If you want to add information to Wikipedia, do so in a way that complies with NPOV. It is really irrelevant whether you have "been studying the former Yugoslavia for ten years" -- if your content isn't NPOV (and the current version of your edits is laughably far from NPOV), it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Neilc 02:18, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, the fact that you created the entry isn't relevant, the content of your proposed edits are. Regarding neutrality, the point here is that NPOV is official Wikipedia policy -- if you think it "means deliberate distorsion (sic) of the truth", that's neither here nor there -- it is Wikipedia policy. Anyway, I would really much rather discuss your edits with you in a productive manner. I see you've made at least one improvement: claiming he is a "conspiracy theorist" is pretty clearly POV. Anyway, I've got to run at the moment, but I'll make more constructive suggestions later today. Neilc 02:53, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:FHM-U.S.'s 100 Sexiest Women 2005

message: To assist in understanding the copyright status here I recommend reading the decision in CDN Inc. v. Kapes, 197 F.3d 1256 (9th Cir. 1999). Key parts of the decision read:
*"That this process takes much time and effort is wholly irrelevant to whether the end product of this work is copyrightable. See Feist, 499 U.S. at 349. The Supreme Court in Feist expressly rejected the "sweat of the brow" theory of copyright which would protect subject matter that was expensive and time-consuming to gather". Feist here is Feist v. Rural, that phone directory case.
*"Our holding that the prices are copyrightable is consistent with that of the Second Circuit in CCC Info. Servs., Inc. v. Maclean Hunter Mkt. Reports, 44 F.3d 61 (2d Cir. 1994). Maclean Hunter published the Red Book, a list of car values for various regions of the United States. The Red Book listed the editors' projections of the value of different kinds of used cars for six weeks after publication. CCC Information Systems had used these values in compiling its computer databases. Maclean Hunter sued for infringement, and the district court found that the values were facts and as such were not copyrightable. The Second Circuit reversed. The court held that the valuations were not "pre-existing facts that had merely been discovered by the Red Book editors," but instead "represented predictions by the Red Book editors of future prices estimated to cover specified geographic regions." CCC, 44 F.3d at 67. Like CDN's prices, the prices in the Red Book granted copyright protection by the Second Circuit, are "based not only on a multitude of data sources, but also on professional judgment and expertise.""
As we've discovered from the way the list is compiled, in the case of the FHM list, FHM in fact exercises no creativity in selection or arrangement, since it's presenting the results of a reader poll without any reordering. Hence, the expert opinion and judgment which made the list of prices copyrightable doesn't exist here. That leaves us with Feist v. Rural and the ineligibility for copyright of a collection of facts without creative input.
For more general reading, I recommend the decisions in the  Cornell introduction to copyright law.
Based on the legal precedents and the absence of the required modicum of creative input in deciding who should go on the list or in what position, I see no copyright here. If anyone can find some creativity - such as FHM lying about how they produce the list, so they do have creative input, that might change things.
Of course, the magazine issue with the list, photographs description of the people and a specific layout is copyrightable, for those presentation elements are not simply facts. Jamesday 10:25, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent summary. Plain and simple fact is, the results of polls like these are reproduced in secondary media sources all the time, like the gossip and entertainment sections of daily newspapers. The researchers, FHM, are credited there just as they are here. That's enough. 203.173.21.69 21:53, 3 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Richard Montgomery High School

message: At Richard Montgomery HS, students in the IB Program make up a distinct minority of the students. Why is it, then, that this article almost entirely discusses things related to the IB Program. Two thirds of the section on "academics" refers exclusively to the IB and MYP Programs, and almost all of the "Activities" section describes clubs that are majority IB students. While none of this information needs to be removed, it must be supplemented by more information about the rest of the school.
Some information is out of date. Two examples are the statistics for student-faculty ratios, which are from 2003, and the link to US News and World Report refers to an article from several years ago. This information needs to be updated.

message: The image was removed as a copyright violation.  Whoever uploaded it went so far as to claim it was his original work, and he was giving it a CC license.  Big no-no.
Wikipedia rules are stricter than fair use, by the way.  What is permitted is an identifying cover image for books on their page.  First editions are strongly preferred: since this has "historical" cachet.  Presumably theater productions can rely on posters, but they are certainly much more difficult to find!
Moreover, the image file cannot be uploaded to Wikicommons, as this one had been.  It can be uploaded to Wikipedia with an accompanying explanation.  See here for what the French and US first editions look like.
Also, the image cannot be recycled for the template.  I would recommend someone in New York take a free image of the Samuel Beckett Theatre, with his name clearly visible!
PS, I could probably add a summary in a few days (heck, pretty much any Beckett work).  I've been busy the past two months with Joseph McElroy and Michael Brodsky and I expect to stay busy, and I have some other severely underrepresented authors in mind to work on.Choor monster (talk) 22:58, 6 November 2012 (UTC)

message: Someone added the I admit impressive interpretation that when Hamm says “You remain” he is addressing the rag that he has promptly draped over his face.
This is valid, yet in no way standard or unequivocal.
I strongly prefer my own interpretation, which I find stronger in thematic force, and with lines up very neatly with other elements of the play - that Hamm is addressing the audience directly.
So, whoever wrote that (or someone else), please consider rephrasing it as a possible interpretation rather than a definite one.
