Talk:Kappiya

message: I understand how "temple boy" has some quite narrow connotations, but I'm not quite sure how internationally recognised "kappiya" is. (In Thailand, the full Pali term "kappiyakāraka" is understood, but the shortened form doesn't appear to be.)

Talk:Rocket docket

message: This is still a stub, but it is close to being a start class article. I would suggest adding some "criticisms" of the speedy process, as I am sure there are complaints about speed being emphasized over justice. Also, maybe some coverage of how they are able to speed through the process, as in the one part covered how one judge speed things along. I'm sure there are other examples of how courts can streamline the process. But great job getting this off the ground. Aboutmovies (talk) 23:46, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Be careful what you wish for. One defendant convicted in a case heard by the Virginia rocket docket, United States v. LaRouche, has published extensive materials on how unfair his trial was. It could easily overwhelm the other material. However you're right that it should be mentioned. A problem is that this article doesn't cover just one court or district, but instead covers the generic concept of a fast trial. I'm afraid that most specifics would be better placed in articles on the districts or on individual judges.  ·:· Will Beback  ·:· 02:53, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:National museums of the United Kingdom

message: I included the 'other countries' in my original list.  I denoted only 22 'National' Museums as Westminster pays for those - that is the UK Parliament so those are not 'English' they are just all in England...  Technical difference.  There is no 'English' Nationality you see.  Westminster won't allow it.  Though as a Yorkshireman I'd rather see a Yorkshire Assembly than an English one.  
Certainly no slight on Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland was intended - after all I included them all.
Bat King
:As an erstwhile Yorkshireman myself, I take your point, and have made some edits which I hope better reflect the position of the UK museums. My intention in renaming the page was to differentiate the UKs national museums with national museums in, say, France, Brazil, or wherever. I added some references too, and I note that the DCMS makes a distinction between 'National' museums established by Act of Parliament, and 'Sponsored' museums, so I made that distinction here too. Edward Waverley 10:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone added National Motor Museum, Beaulieu to the list. But this article defines "national museums" as being "owned and operated by the state"; it seems that Beaulieu is owned and operated by a charitable trust.  So it doesn't seem to belong here - having "national museum" in the title of the organisation isn't enough.  In fixing the errors introduced by the IP when adding Beaulieu, I've removed it, and I don't think we should add it, unless I've misunderstood the nature of its ownership. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 11:15, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Katla (dragon)

message: I havn't read the book, only seen the movie (like 10+ times)
so im quite puzzled how it's writen on this page that she "drowns".
Katla died as Johnathan pushed a large rock onto her so she fell into the boiling underground pool of tar pit/mud vulcano or whatever substance it is.
so i wouldn't say she drowned, she died from that boiling substance.
allsow, i think it's important to mention that Johnatan is blinded after Katla torches him. Only later, after the dragon is dead and they've set up a camp for the night at a river, then does he mention that he's feeling paralyzed, in his leggs.

Talk:VHS tape rewinder

message: Have you never rewinded a VHS tape before? It was pretty much THE machine to rewind tapes so you could play them again. The speedy here is pretty farfetched, to say the least. Pandacomics 21:30, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm old enough to remember when VHS was new, and yes, I've rewound (not "rewinded") many a tape — all using the standard rewind function on my VCR. Rewinding machines were not that terribly widespread, nor are they notable now. Besides, you have no sources cited to back up anything you say, just a link to an image on Amazon. This article should be speedy deleted. Realkyhick 22:17, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've only used tape rewinders because using the VCR to rewind would damage the tape. I'll look for sources, because, again, I shall reiterate that your leaving a speedy notice just leaves me speechless. Pandacomics 22:33, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

text: I have removed the speedy tag and references to amazon / ebay. Beyond that, not having sources is not a speedy reason. Marasmusine 08:54, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I feel this article is rather biased toward the use of VHS rewinders. I've read as many cautions against their use as I have alleged benefits. I've heard many accounts of cheaply-made rewinders causing damage to tapes. Also, the claim that rewinders save heads seems quite faulty: Some units, especially in the earlier VHS years, completely disengaged the tape from the video heads during fast wind, so there was no chance of contamination reaching them during rewind. There is some truth in this regarding full-loading units (as in many of the latest machines produced), but even so, just playing the tape would be enough to contaminate the heads, regardless of whether a dedicated rewinder was used. Another criticism I've read regards the abrupt stops and starts some (cheaper?) rewinder units produce; many VCRs (particularly later ones) seem to have a much smoother stop/start cycle.
Finally, I've heard more than one account of rewinders ripping the tape right off the reel in some cases due to not having a proper optical end-of-tape detection mechanism. Also, I've read books warn about units sometimes causing damage to the edge of the tapes.
The article really needs complete coverage of both negative and positive points of view, though I'm admittedly not of much use providing actual citations.… Travis Evans (talk) 04:11, 27 May 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Template accuracy

message: Since this is an article on history, I've transcluded a historical flag, i.e. the one  flown prior to World War I. 
This flag predates the tiring "Syriac vs. Assyrian" dispute; an alternative would of course be transluding multiple flags (Syriac flag, Assyrian flag), but that would overburden the template, and these flags are recent (younger than 50 years) in any case. The historical flag  has the advantage that it was flown by all denominations. Alternatively, we could picture an icon of Ephrem the Syrian who is likewise endorsed by all factions. --dab (𒁳) 12:39, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Simulation theory of empathy

message: The section on 'Action Understanding' duplicates parts of the 'mirror neurons' page and (to my mind), doesn't really belong in a page on empathy.  This is because the term 'empathy' applies mainly to emotional states rather than actions.  I suggest this section could be removed, or greatly shortened.
I also removed the sections on how mirror neurons were discovered.  Despite the fun anecdotes in the press, the original researchers (Rizzolatti et al) have made it clear that stories about how mirror neurons were discovered by eating ice cream or moving fruit are myths (see the 'Mirror Neurons' talk page).

Is this a mistranslation for minelaying? Andy Dingley (talk) 10:27, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No, it is not a mistranslation. Finns lacked warships of all calibers. So the idea was to use the subs running on their electric engines as subhunters at night when the Soviet subs had to recharge their batteries using noisy diesel engines. In 'Suomen Laivasto 1918–1968 II' [Finnish Navy 1918–1968, part II] there is a description of the equipping of the submarines with 4 depth charges. And there was on p. 119 even an image of it. Also in the official Finnish Wartime Photograph Archive (online resource) there is among undated images a image #122019 which shows a Finnish sub on surface apparently in December 1942 with 4 depth charges on the rear deck.

replies: text: Depth charge sink rates varied a lot and Finns had depth charges with low rate of descent. Kinda had to. Finnish gunboats which were also used as sub hunters could barely make 15 knots so sub going at 10 knots was quite enough. And they weren't intended to be used on targets on surface. Subs had the 76mm gun and torpedoes for that. They were meant for subs that had submerged - i.e. done a crash dive to avoid the attack. - Wanderer602 (talk) 15:29, 21 June 2017 (UTC)
