message: If no one objects, I am going to start changing the mathematical links to Module (mathematics), and move the mathematical content there. -- Walt Pohl 07:41, 26 Feb 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: page

message: Do we have nowhere to link for this?  Modules (add-on game publications with new "adventures") are a key aspect of role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, and are the model for the later advent of DLCs for computer RPGs. Seems like a major omission from the encyclopedia, though we do have an article on the (renamed) concept for D&D in particular.  What I've got in there right now is:
* Game module, an add-on publication for a role-playing game
** Adventure (Dungeons & Dragons), formerly referred to as a module
Good enough for the short term, I guess, but it's just weird that Game module and Module (gaming) are redlinks.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:41, 26 July 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Earl Grey tea

message: How can any article on Earl Grey Tea not include it's greatest promotor: Captain Jean-Luc Picard of the starship Enterprise, who brought the popularity of the tea storming into the 20th century? To disregard him as a fictional character is tantamount to ignoring Paddington Bear's popularitisation of marmalade or the Earl of Sandwhich to the bread bracketed popular quick meal! 94.174.148.42 (talk) 19:34, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: To include this information, we would need some reliable secondary sources that demonstrate that this is notable and not just trivia. See WP:POPCULTURE for more info on that. Popcornfud (talk) 19:39, 18 July 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: As someone currently drinking some Earl Grey, I lean towards inclusion. If my expertise in this leaf isn't enough, a few sources seem to support my position. Gizmodo is considered a generally reliable source–it is green-listed at Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources–and published this article on Picard's taste in 2020 (but there's no accounting for the article author's taste, I suppose). CNET published this article on Earl Grey's place on the final frontier in 2016; CNET pre-2020 was considered generally reliable, but this approbation was directed only towards its tech coverage. Per WP:VANITYFAIR, this article from 2020 seems to demonstrate that this information is at the very minimum publicly notable. If there wasn't a significant amount of reference to Picard and Earl Grey tea, I would agree that this would be stereotypical POPCULTURE material. However, I think we have enough. ~ Pbritti (talk) 20:10, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Rosetta (spacecraft)

message: On the main page, the Rosetta landing was described as a "crash-landing" but this article describes it as a slow landing, specifically "The orbiter descended more slowly than Philae did." where Philae's landing was already a "soft landing". http://www.nature.com/news/comet-crash-a-guide-to-rosetta-s-big-finale-1.20682 notes "Rather than disintegrate on impact, the orbiter will perform a gentle crash-landing, striking the comet at a slow walking speed (around 1 metre per second) at 10:40 utc. But because Rosetta is not designed to land, even this could cause its 32-metre-wide solar-panel wings to snap, and the craft to tumble and bounce."

thread_title:  Rosetta landing 

message: Vangelis released studio album Rosetta which is related to the ESA mission. Think it is relevant information, but didn't know where to edit it in the article so decided for the sub-section "Media coverage". However, as the sub-section is short and the sentence, after an edit, "On 23 September 2016, Vangelis released the studio album Rosetta in honour of the mission" is a bit out of scope, decided to edit information about the final official Livestream event "Rosetta Grand Finale" and hour-long video "Rosetta's final hour" in which was used album's music, thus making the sub-section more cohesive. However, in the reference there is no mention of Vangelis, but in the final video cue to "01:02:19" and "01:013:35" for the relevant bits.--Crovata (talk) 03:41, 6 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:C-Stoff

message: This description of c-stoff is FUNDAMENTALY wrong.
C-STOFF was a catalyst solution consisting of a saturated solution of 
calcium permanganate in water. It functioned to decompose the 
HYDROGEN PEROXIDE in experimental or test versions of the HWK 109 rocket motors.
Z-STOFF is the chemial formulation described on this page.
This was the FUEL for the rocket NOT the OXYDIZER - the oxygen for burning
the mixture of CH4 and N2H4 to CO2, H2O, NO2 being provided from the 
catalytic decomposition of the H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide).

T-Stoff was hydrogen peroxide.  I noticed that Walter spells hydrazine "hydracine". DonPMitchell (talk) 06:36, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Complications

message: I removed the doubt tag on the above, but reworded the doubted text to clearly indicate that this is very much a case of scientific conjecture.  The reference NY Times article has the following text:
::The findings raised the question of what happens to people who have their spleens removed. Dr. Faustman went to the medical literature and discovered that most spleens were removed in emergency rooms and that few patients were followed afterward, with two exceptions.
::One was a group of patients in England with pancreatitis. To treat them, doctors had removed half of the pancreas. When they removed the right half of the organ, the patients were fine. But when they removed the left half, along with the attached spleen, patients often developed diabetes about five years later.
::The other case involved children with beta thalassemia, a genetic disease involving iron storage. Often, they developed enlarged spleens, which were removed. Five years or so later, many got diabetes.
The article clearly makes reference to a perceived relationship between splenectomy and elevated diabetes risk.  This does not imply, of course, that said relationship in fact exists.

message: This article blurs the distinction between the "National Air and Space Museum" and its National Mall Building.  It seems pretty clear from the Smithsonian's site that they use the term National Air and Space Museum to refer to the Mall, UHC, and Graber Facility.  Given the present top hat, it seems I'm not the only one to notice that the status quo is confusing.  Two solutions occur to me:
# Split the article and create an new one for specifics of the National Mall Building and collections.  The present article is rewritten to cover non-building specific and early history, common issues and of course summarize and link to the facility specific articles.
# Rewrite this article so that there is a clear delineation.  The National Mall Building specifics should be consolidated in their own section, after general topics and an introduction of the separate facilities.

replies: text: The blurred distinction accurately represents the way people think of NASM, in general. Perhaps there is no need to change the article in a radical manner. Of your two suggestions, #2 involves the least disruption. Suggestion #1 would have us create an article with an oddly disambiguated title, such as National Air and Space Museum (building), unpopular and hard to sell. Much of the focus of NASM, as far as the general public is concerned, is centered on the NASM Mall building, so combining the building and the museum articles reflects that perspective.

I don't see why the condors are so critical to size diversity. Most old-world vultures and some eagles are bigger than most Cathartid vultures and some of their biggest species like Steller's Eagle, Harpy Eagle and Phillipines' Eagle are of comperable size with the Condors. Himalayan, Griffon, Lappet-face and Cinereous Vultures are of the same size with the Californian Condor, have a maximum slightly less than the Andean Condor's and fall well within its average size.
