thread_title:  Ukrainian Guards 

message: This article Russian Guards is all over the place. It currently covers Soviet guards units extensively, more than it should. It's almost doing what its parent article (Guards unit) should be doing, but is not doing. As just one of the several topics that are under the broader subject of Guards unit, I suggest that it be merged into Guards unit. Alternatively, Guards unit could get expanded to cover what it should cover (i.e. the various kinds of units out there that are called "guards"), and this article gets reduced to what it should concern itself with. And if needed (and probably is), a third article for Soviet Guards unit should be created. After all, Ukrainian Guards units already have theirs, albeit a list. EyeTruth (talk) 08:08, 18 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I took a closer look at this issue and realized that it's harder to do the above suggestion (i.e. creating a third article for Soviet guards unit). If that is done, the article Guards unit will become almost empty as it covers almost exclusively just Soviet guards units. There have been just too many kinds of units that got designated as "guards" or an equivalent status, and there are already a plethora of WP articles covering these various kinds of guards units: E.g. British Guards Armoured Division, Prussian Guards, Moroccan Black Guard, and dozens more. The article "Guards unit" should be trying to cover the entire subject of guards unit, but the current form of the article is not even close to doing that, and it will take a HUGE amount of effort to make it cover what it should be covering. The easiest way to clean up this issue is to rename "Guards units" to "Soviet guards unit" and then delete the now empty "Guards units" article, and also reduce the extensive coverage of Soviet guards unit in the article "Russian guards" to just a summary. But the better way is still to create "Soviet guards unit" and move all excess information on the subject in "Russian guards" and "Guards unit" to the new article, so that "Guards unit" can focus on the overarching concept. Any opinions? EyeTruth (talk) 03:04, 26 June 2017 (UTC)

text: Sure, your proposal on Soviet guards units seems fine. However, I think a list of Soviet guards units would be very impractical and substantially duplicative of existing lists that include Gaurds units because there were hundreds of divisions and regiments, dozens of corps and armies, and numerous ships that were made "Guards".Kges1901 (talk) 14:56, 29 October 2017 (UTC)

message: Just to make it easier for someone to fix this, I will repeat my description of the problem (from the edit summary that marked it). The problem is that the directionality of the equation for which the K is given is very important, and, while it is somewhat implicit which direction that is based on the first sentence of the paragraph, it really needs to be *explicit*, so that it would say "The K is 11.7 for the equilibrium of the keto to enol, as shown below:" Then have a diagram showing the equation, since there arent any plaintext characters that can represent the double arrows used in equilibrium equations.

Talk:Culture of Buddhism

message: Some reservations about the usefulness of this page (and its inclusion on the 'floating Buddhism table') at this point.  Basically this is because we don't yet have articles on Buddhist art and music, and the present 'Buddhist cuisine', whilst featuring my very own pretty picture and a great deal of generalities, lacks depth and accuracy.  I guess/hope these reservations will dimish as the pages linked to from here are improved... --prat 00:06, 2004 Apr 4 (UTC)
1) Positive points of the article. Very well elaborated. Touches pretty much all area of Buddhism. Each section is well explained without too much details. Also, good ton, very neutral point of view and formal ton in the writing.
2) Point to improve: I would say the lead section needs a bit more information. I will for instance, start it with a brief description of what Buddhism is, its origins, and so on. Although the article is not about an elaboration of the believe, I thought it will be interesting to do so. Also to elaborate more on the lead section, as it is an introduction, you could give important point on the different sections you covered. I know sometimes people just read the lead section and do not go further, so if you could elaborate on the different section in the lead section, it will be great.
3) Finally, very interesting article, but again I will focus on the structure of the article for instance : Try to group the different section in several headings rather than just one. You could for instance chose to group : Music, Festival and Art in a section called Buddhist Entertainment and so on

Talk:SN2 reaction

message: Shouldn't Sn2 be bimolecular nucleophilic substitution second order?
yes. this SN2 reaction must be of bimolecular nucleophiclic substituion second order reaction.
Incorrect, as mentioned below, although there are 2 reactants they both arent nececerily both first order, so the overall reaction order could be greater or less than 2. Obikirk (talk) 21:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

message: Sn2 has a bimolcular rate determining step, however this does not mean that Sn2 is always second order. For example the hydrolysis of TBC has Sn2 mechanism but is actually first order- water is of zero order and TBC is of first order so overall, reaction is first order.

replies: text: Heck, it only discusses sterics of the nucleophile, not the substrate at the leaving-group site (though it is mentioned in the "Reaction mechanism" section). But then the mechanism section doesn't include an electron-flow ("arrow-pushing") mechanism! Perhaps we could take the reactants of the "Reaction mechanism" diagram (i.e., aligned properly for the reaction) and use "R" groups on the nucleophile and on the electrophilic substrate. Then could simply explain "if R on the nucleophile or any of the R on the substrate near the leaving group are large, they prevent the two components from getting close enough to react efficiently."

message: Where does that figure come from? Please give a reference! According to several sources including Glasstone & Dolan "The effects of nuclear weapons" (1977), visualized by e.g. Alex Wellerstein's NUKEMAP, the "optimal burst height" for a 500 kiloton weapon for the destruction of typical civil buildings ("soft targets") is between about 1400 and 2500 meters, optimizing the radius for 20 psi and 5 psi, respectively. A height of burst as low as 500 meters would be sufficient to destroy buildings resistant to about 1000 psi, which can hardly be called "soft targets". Please also note that the Nagasaki bomb exploded at 500 m height but had 'only' 20 kilotons but was sufficient to destroy a large fraction of the city.--SiriusB (talk) 19:31, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
