Talk:Robert Baden-Powell, 3rd Baron Baden-Powell

message: Proposed to merge into Baron Baden-Powell. Noble does not mean notable. There is little if anything notable about this person. Much of the article is actually about his grandfather, the first baron and his family. The notable content of the article could be covered in the article on Baron Baden-Powell. — Preceding comment added by 115.42.5.170 (talk) 07:24, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't have a strong opinion but I think it should not be merged.   Regarding wp:GNG, the references in there already bring it pretty close to established.  Plus looking at his history and in view of him being mostly pre-internet, those references are probably just the tip of the iceberg.  Also there is substantial material on Lady Baden-Powell in here who is also likely wp:notable, which is sort of like having her article already merged into this one.

message: I have an openel knife that was handed down to me from my father. It is a number 8 standard opinel knife, but after reading the wiki article I noticed something strange. the Opinel logo on my knife is identical to the one in the picture, except the hand has all four fingers extended instead of having the ringfinger and pinky folded down. Does any one knew about this modified logo and why my knife might have it?

thread_title:  Genericity 

message: It seems to me that someone should say something about the unusually thin blades used by Opinel compared to other makers. I have numerous knives, but few of them except kitchen or fillet knives have blades anything as thin for a given size/length as the Opinels I have. Any benefits, or drawbacks? Is it something that was part of the original design in order to make them as cheaply as possible? A side effect of this blade design (I assume) is that the bevel of the cutting edge is almost invisible, whereas it is easy to see in most knives. It is so tiny that it is difficult to tell what angle to hold the knife to match it while sharpening. On the plus side, it seems to make ofr a very fine edge that can be made very sharp.
64.222.115.4 (talk) 06:51, 13 March 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The thin blade makes it better for slicing.  That is why kitchen knives have thin blades.  Opinels are made for similar purposes, such as picnics.  Other large folding knives are typically meant for heavier duty outdoor use, so they have thicker blades. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:4671 (talk) 01:47, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Thin blades 

message: Under the heading "Description: Design and operation", the fourth sentence claims "This light weight means that the buoyancy of the wooden handle is sufficient to keep the knife afloat if it is dropped into water."

replies: text: It might vary depending on the model.   The blade is denser than the handle, and the relative masses would depend on the blade and handle size.  2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:4671 (talk) 01:49, 18 April 2022 (UTC)

message: I was wondering how the number of ending for each target was determined - what is the definition of ending?  I've only played a small fraction of this game so far, but with my definition of "ending" (following a path in the story until you are given a grade) there are definitely more than 4 endings for, for instance, Hardwich's first request.  I haven't followed each choice in that particular request all the way to the end yet, but my count of endings has currently reached six, and there are at least two more in addition to that. Does the number of endings for each of the targets need to be changed, or should there maybe be some explanation of what is meant by "ending"?

message: I see that Alba is in the category Roman sites in Piedmont, a sub-category of Roman sites in Italy. Acqui Terme, on the other hand, is in the category Roman towns and cities in Italy. My understanding is that Roman towns and cities in Italy is for modern towns and cities that are built upon Roman ones; Roman sites in Italy is for Roman remains that are not the basis of modern towns and cities. As an aside: looking at the list of sites in each category, it seems that if the Roman site is in a suburb of the modern town or city, Roman sites in Italy applies. This all seems pretty logical. On this basis, I propose to remove Alba, Italy from the category Roman sites in Italy and put it in Roman towns and cities in Italy. Does anyone have objections to this?

Talk:Bletting

message: This is also true of bananas.  The popular concept of a ripe banana in a supermarket in the US is bright yellow and very hard or "firm."  Bananas are shipped this way due to their fragility when ripe.  They are in fact green, and it was once a common practice by importers to enclose bananas upon receiving them in an unvented room, an expose them to natural gas, which accelerates the color change in the skin from green to yellow, but leaves them still hard and hard to digest.  In nature the ripening fruit generates its own "natural gas": methane.  If taken home green or bright yellow, unblemished, the ripening process is finished, by those who know, often by placing the fruit in a paper (not plastic) bag, and placing of top of the refrigerator, a place providing a little heat, from the fridge compressor, but not as much heat as a gas range pilotlight (far too much).  The paper bag is not air-tight, but retains much of the methane the fruit itself is generating, which expedites the ripening process.  Bananas are not truly ripe until they have black spots, or, some would say, until fully black.  By and large the North American public would consider these bananas spoiled, or rotten.  Eating bananas green is the cause of widespread complaints that they are hard to digest.  Rags (talk) 16:59, 1 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Single performance, and relevance to GTA

message: I just felt that the song, which is one of my favorites by this band, deserved a bit more explanation as to its differences with the Blondie song. Blondie is great too, and I love that song as well, but I prefer Go West's "Call me." Some people aren't aware that titles are not copyrightable. Although I felt that it was unnecessary to point this out specifically, I did want to explain that the song stands on its own.
I suspect too that many people think of Go West as poppy fluff, best-suited for 80s rehash video games and VH1 "I love the 80s" episodes. Maybe that is true, but the sound that these guys helped to bring about in 1985 will always stay with me. There is something very cool and interesting about that big, over-blown production sound. I still love these guys! Great stuff.
Anyway, if you feel that you need to continue revising this part of the article, then go to it. I don't even own the album in question, although I have played GTA VC about a zillion times. I have even "pulled over to the side of the road" in the game to listen to that song when it comes on the radio.

message: In Rwanda, all large bananas are known as "Gros Michel".  I was told a story (independently from two people) about the origin of the name: a French visitor from outside of the country was walking with a friend, and saw a lady on the side of the street selling large bananas.  He said to his friend, in French, "C'est gros, mon cher!" (it's big, my friend!).  The lady selling the bananas thought that the bananas were known as "Gros Michel" outside of Rwanda, so she began saying "Gros Michel!
