Talk:Harold Saxton Burr

message: "Burr is noted for his use of the voltmeter to detect the electromagnetic potential of the body, first reported upon in his 1936 pap"
A volt meter detects electromotive force or voltage potential but not a magnetic field nor the magnetic field of an electromagnetic wave.
And it doesn't sound like Burr was measuring waves so much as he was just measuring electric potential.
Now one could argue that obviously the ~13hz brain waves or nerve waves do produce changing voltage and thus must radiate radio waves which do have a magnetic portion -- true, but a few microvolts at 13hz isn't going to radiate much radio waves and it is clear from the description that it was not the radio waves or the magnetic component of them that  Burr was detecting, but rather the voltage present on the skin, much like today's EKG machines.
So I guess I would ask "Who is it who noted Burr to use a voltmeter to detect the electromagnetic potential of the body.."
I think "electrical potential of the body" would be accurate.
If nobody minds I'll change it, but I've seen that sometimes people are very fond of "their article" on wp and just revert and I have no desire to change someone's personal webpage to say something they don't want!

Talk:Aarnivalkea

message: The Finnish Wikipedia covers Aarnivalkea and Will-o'-the-wisp in the same article, :fi:Virvatuli (valoilmiö). Should we do likewise? --Delirium (talk) 00:04, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Not really, it is a redirect, but not covered in depth, and infact the mythology is really covered in :fi:Aarnihauta the article on the secret treasure, rather than the marker, which is the light phenomenon. Different languages lumping content differently into articles is a problem. There really ought to be a proper article on Aarnivalkea on the finnish wikipedia, IMO, considering that it is properly a separate only occasionally mythically connected phenomenon with the treasure sites. That is to say there are Aarnivalkea without the treasure perhaps, although usually they come with the treasure. According to myth that is. But I won't object to a merge, or starting an article Aarnihauta which might cover the treasure sites. Some might argue that the eternal flame is less notable than the treasure it guards. -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. (talk) 04:39, 22 June 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Harvey H. Nininger

message: An anonymous editor made the following contrib, but unref'd and in the Notes section:
"Before his interest began in meteortics, Harvey Nininger was a professor at McPherson College in Kansas teaching biology but he also taught a course in geology. When Nininger first started taking college courses after high school, his teachers didn't think he would make the grade. After several months, in college he soon was at the head of his class in science and had the admiration of the faculty. Sortly after graduation he was offer a job as professor when another department head moved on. Although he wasn't sure he should take the postion, he proved to be an excellent educator and teacher.Items about his biology work can be found in the Published papers of Nininger."
By memory, this is mostly right, but needs cites and editing. I'll sort through this sometime, unless someone else does it first. --Pete Tillman (talk) 15:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

It is not that it doesn't cite sources, it is that it reads like an empirical experiment by someone.

Talk:Robinson Terminal

message: The article gives the port's address as 0 King Street. I can't verify that such an address exists but it would roughly designate the restaurant and/or recreational docks at the end of King Street in Old Town Alexandria. The company's website only provides the office's address, 2 Duke Street. Searching for "Robinson Terminal" in Google Maps gives another address, 1 Oronoco Street. The satellite photo shows a warehouse facility alongside a waterfront at the end of a railroad spur. Based on this I will update the address in the article. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 22:21, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Looking at the satellite photo again, 2 Duke Street appears to be a port, as well, which corresponds with the comany's statement that they run two berths on the Potomac. One of their Springfield warehouses (the one along the southeast Beltway) is frequently cited as a landmark in traffic reports. This might be worth mentioning but I'll have to figure out how to cite a traffic report. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 13:37, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
