thread_title: Comments

message: This is obviously going to be somewhat controversial.  However, it is a reasonably well-established fact that tea's origins are unknown.  It is considered most likely the case that tea was used by aboriginal cultures but the fact remains that origins which exceed the written record are speculative at best.
It is authoratatively not true that Shen Nong (or Shen Nung) introduced tea to China mainly because there was no historical person named Shen Nong.  As a legend, Shen Nong also supposedly "invented" the plow and animal husbandry as well as compiling a medical dictionary and later becoming the first emporor of China.  These are myths and foundational legends.

Talk:François Sébastien Charles Joseph de Croix, Count of Clerfayt

message: however keeps on changing this article, please stop. The count's name was Charles de Croix Graf Clerfayt and as such he should be listed as well. the english translation is well... a translation, not the original. all french nobility is listed by their french names as well. The Austrian nobility is also listed by their german names, because some of their titles you just cannot translate into english (for example Carl Ritter von Ghega, there is no correct way to translate his name and title into english, otherwise he would have to be called Charles Knight of Ghega, which is absurd). so in order to keep it consistent, I suggest we keep the names in German and add the english name in the article itself as well, to avoid confusion. any search-function for Count Clerfayt will end up to him anyways. this wikipedia site might be in english, but he was not english, nor was his title. any suggestions otherwise are more than welcome...

Talk:Portsmouth Direct line

message: I sometimes wonder where the information for an article such as this comes from! I take issue with almost every fact in the opening remarks.
First and foremost, the word "Line", when used by the British railways, nearly always refers to the services which run on particular sections of a railway; and are often used to describe such services. This means that it is to the timetable for that route that we should turn for the stations served by it. If one does that, the the first three stops for this service are Clapham Junction, Woking and Guildford: trains do not stop at the others listed. There are other stations which the train passes, but these are served by suburban services over the same set of tracks. 
In much the same vein, the note that Woking is the station "for the South Western Main Line" (SWML) makes it sound as if it is an interchange point, but since the Portsmouth trains do not stop there *, that would not be possible. Again the SWML travels over the same tracks.
* sorry - that is incorrect, they do - but the basic point remains.  
   
The article stated that ... The Portsmouth Direct Line ... was built between 1853 and 1857 and was electrified in 1933. The dates are incorrect for the openings: I have now included a history of the route in that respect. Here is where the difference between "Line" as a title for the route, and "line" as a description of the railway, comes into the picture. As for electrification, that took place for the Portsmouth line workings (and with a three other lines) on 4 July 1937: four years later than suggested. 
The line also provides a faster way for trains to reach Guildford from London, as they could run via Woking instead of taking the Effingham Junction route. The route suggested can only be slower - it is a suburban service, unlike the fast trains on the Portsmouth Line!!! 
It would be great if facts were checked first!!  Peter Shearan 15:17, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pac-Man? 

message: Today I came across what I think is a rare and strange glitch.  You see, today, I was playing 2 player with my brother.  My team captain was Waluigi and he was Yoshi.  I was Waluigi and I was pitching to Birdo, who had 5 team stars.  We were in Bowser's Castle.  Anyway, Birdo did a star hit, and she immediately hit a charged shot (not a Weird Egg) that knocked the ball out of the park.  I immediately knew something was wrong.  Suddenly, random spots of the screen were blurred out by this white light.  I thought my disk was scratched or something, but when I looked it over later, it was spotless.  So, anyway, right when "HOME RUN" appeared on the screen, it turned completely black.  I couldn't see anything except for what looked like a giant bird's wing flapping on the right side of my TV screen, and I could hear a bird flapping its wings.  The game played normally after that.  But that instant home run shot cost my little brother all of his team stars, instead of two.
Weird.  If anyone knows anything about this, could you respond here?  It might be worth mentioning in the article.

message: I've removed the section about the subject's portrayal in historical fiction, since it seemed to me to be WP:COATRACKy - it's getting into a tangential subject that is not necessary to understand the article's subject (and is basically a small summary of the book stuck into this article). If the book is sufficiently notable to be mentioned here, it should have its own article and be linked from here. If the book is not sufficiently notable to have its own article, it probably isn't notable enough to be mentioned here either. Since the section's sources consisted of citations of the mentioned books and one book review, I'm leaning toward the "not sufficiently notable" side. The removed section briefly mentioned that one of the seminal biographies of the subject was written by that same author - if that were properly cited, that might be worth a (brief!) mention alongside other similar works.

thread_title:  Specific gravity imprecision 

message: The equation is given as 
:Ca10−x(PO4)6−x(HPO4)x(OH)2−x → (1−x) Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 + 3x Ca3(PO4)2
I attempted to add a simple equation for x as a function of Ca/P and its inverse.  Using this equation, I got
:Ca/P = \frac{10-x}{6-x}
and
:x = \frac{6\cdot(Ca/P) - 10}{(Ca/P) - 1}
The equation for Ca/P from x is obvious from inspection, and the second equation, for x from Ca/P, is a simple inversion of the equation for x.  But, the first line of this section says that Ca/P varies from 1.67 to 1.5 as x varies from 0 to 1, but the first equation has Ca/P varying from 1.67 to 1.8, so the formula for byphasic hdrolyapatite is incomplete -- the variable x in the formula actually has a scaling for each term that is not given.  Since the valence of the calcium ion is +2 and the valence of the phosphate ion is -3, perhaps the formula should begin Ca10-3x(PO4)6-2x...
If this is correct, the statement "(where x is between 0 and 1)" is incorrect.  I could infer a correction from elementary inorganic chemistry but, to be sure that the scalings for the HPO4 and OH ions are corre3ct, a knowledgeable correction from a mineralogist is invited here.
