The example project linked to (which is a quick, coherent read, by the way) had a resonance frequency of 385 Hz, which is audible, and somewhat above what you would usually think of as "bass". Breakpoint (talk) 21:48, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

message: William Morris is the subject of an essay "William Morris: National Socialist" by Arthur Reade (Arthur Reade?), which appeared in the Fascist Quarterly, a journal associated with the British Union of Fascists, and is reprinted in the book Fascist Voices: Essays from the 'Fascist Quarterly' 1936-1940, which is [currently in print and sold on Amazon]. Though obscure (this is the only place that I have seen Morris associated with fascism), it seems notable, at least, and probably indicative that Morris was associated with fascism elsewhere. I cannot see where it would fit in the article, so I am posting it here, in case anyone else think it's worthy of inclusion. Sinopecynic (talk) 01:24, 19 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's an obscure article and the the only occasion you've seen Morris associated with fascism, I don't think it's worth including. Evidently the author's attempt to appropriate Morris didn't gain traction even within fascist circles. --Ismail (talk) 10:34, 18 October 2022 (UTC)

message: (I'm not native speaker.)
In the very first phrase "Pyroelectricity refers to..." seems to me better than "Pyroelectricity is...". Want to say that pyroelectricity is NOT potential but an effect where potential arises if...
Any sugestions?
: I agree, pyroelectricity is not electrical potential.  It is the change of spontaneous polarization with temperature.  I would think that the change in spontaneous polarization would generate an electrical potential, though.  Note that the electrical potential may also result in current flow.  --Nathaniel (talk) 01:36, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pyroelectricity is not electric potential 

message: There seems to be no discussion of how pyroelectrics are modeled, e.g. that the pyroelectric coefficient p of a material is given by :
p = \frac{\Delta\ P}{\Delta\ T} where \Delta\ P is the change in polarisation, and \Delta\ T the change in temperature.
Is this simply missing or is it in a separate article ? --ACH 15:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if this is in a separate article (I did not find it).  However, I have put in the relevant equations. Note that the pyroelectric coefficient is a tensor, and partial derivatives are involved.  --Nathaniel (talk) 10:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I've done a bit of thinking: I propose re-introducing the text which Alan Holloway added in 2007, with a citation to the above unpublished letter provided by his family, as justified under WP:IGNORE:
This seems to fit this category.  Basically, we know the full details of how the similar precursor product was developed and who invented it, but Alan Holloway's edits were deleted later under the verifiability and reliable source policies.
While Alan's product wasn't exactly the same as Bostik Blu Tack, it was similar. His edits improve Wikipedia, and there is currently no other way than WP:IGNORE to put that information in, as there are no published sources.
If we do this, we would want to do a bit of editing (e.g. remove the first person pronoun "I") and may need to add some kind of footnote to say that yes, the source is unpublished, but nonetheless included under WP:IGNORE.
How do other editors feel about this?

Talk:Weather gage

message: OED sez "gage" is more common than "gauge", so I bowed to its authority. :-) Stan 16:20, 16 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Is the reference to the America's Cup boats seeking the weather gage correct?  I thought the idea of the circling was to maintain a leeward position, because that gives you rights to push to opponent over the start line early. RoySmith 8 July 2005 11:34 (UTC)
: I think you are right.  Leeward boat has rights, so a favored tactic is to luff up your opponent either to force him over early or to slow him down, allowing you to bear off and gain speed just before the start.  It doesn't always work that way though, and it is unfavorable to be below your opponent after the start unless you can point higher (not usually a factor in one-design racing, but could be a factor in America's Cup).  Generally requires you to tack early to find clean air.

thread_title:  Illustrations? 

message: "The weather restricted the visual range to much less than the gun range, therefore regarding the apparent advantage of being upwind for firing projectiles with increased range, it was quite the reverse. It was even detrimental, since to surpass the thick vertical armour of those days the best approach was to make the shells dive almost vertically over the less protected horizontal decks, and given the parabolic trajectories of the shells, firing against the wind would make them fall more vertically."
"Hood" has an advantage to hit "Bismarck's" horizontal armour firing upwind, nevertheless "Bismarck" did it to "Hood" firing downwind - paradox...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.75.247.226 (talk) 12:08, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

Spencer's Ethiopia at Bay: A Personal Account of the Haile Selassie Years (Algonac: Reference Publications, 1984), which provides a lot of background information on the diplomatic maneuverings both before & after the Second Italo-Abyssinian War. Spencer's thesis is that England & France gave Ethiopia to Italy in hope this would keep Mussolini from getting too close to Hitler -- which we know failed. (Other countries either followed this calculation [e.g. Austria & other Balkan countries looking to Italy to help them against Germany], or simply thought Italy was cool [possibly Belgium]. FWIW, Germany actually provided some diplomatic support to Ethiopia, knowing no matter how things turned out, they'd benefit.) That approach reminds me of the contemporary strategy of government supporting local dictators (or "bad guys") to oppose terrorists (or "even worse guys") -- which promises about as much success. -- llywrch (talk) 01:21, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
