Talk:Dip pen

message: I don't see how the dip pen's use in manga is somehow more notable than it's use in comics anywhere else in the world.  Computer techniques have become common (in Japan, too), but the standard cartooning tools are still ink with dip pen and/or brush.  Superfluous, and I'm deleting it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acidtoyman (talk • contribs) 00:02, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pictures 

message: Re: "One improved version of the dip pen, known as the original "ballpoint", was the addition of a curved point (instead of a sharp point) which allows the user to have slightly more control on upward and sideways strokes. This feature, however, produces a thicker line rather than the razor-sharp line produced by a sharp point."
I find the words "a curved point (instead of a sharp point)" do not evoke an unambiguous image. Could anyone clarify just what the shape of the nib was, and in which direction it curved.....a photo or drawing would help. Does it mean the very tip of the pen was rounded off slightly, or that the tines of the point were bent upwards? FurnaldHall (talk) 20:34, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Bratva is an old Russian term for "camaraderie". Its bandit usage came into circulation only in late Soviet Union. By no means it is a "branch". In any case, this usage is a neologism in Russian and the usage is not stabilized. In many cases I am aware, bratva specifically refers to bands involved in violent business, like extrotion, "protection" (from extortion by other bandits) called krysha ("Roof" in Russian), etc. the current article is very naive, but I don't have enough knowledge to fix it: I am more than 10 years behind the developments in former Soviet Union.   mikka (t) 22:36, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: According to the USGS GNIS page () and the topo maps linked to from that page, the Middle Fork continues a bit beyond Williams Lake to one of the Chain Lakes. They give the source coordinates as 47.5584457, -121.2375967. I don't know how to link to the topo maps directly, which is annoying, but from the GNIS page if you click "GNIS in Google Map" and then zoom in and click the "Topo" option you can view topo maps with icons indicates river sources and such. Of course the USGS GNIS information is not always correct, and their coordinates can be a bit rough--but pretty good. Pfly (talk) 05:25, 30 May 2009 (UTC)

Recently, 1995 stock trains from the Northern Line could be heard from the station despite it being on the District Line.
In an episode in September 2006, in a long scene where Billy Mitchell is returning to Walford, the train he was on had to stop at a red light. The train stopped using a sound sequence taken from a 1996 stock train (the deceleration sound). The train was there for ten minutes because the train in front had trouble aboard involving a "little brat". The train then started up again unrealistically as it didn't accelerate and started after a series of quick flashes. The train used for the scene was a refurbished D-stock train. There are also no tunnels near Walford East station if it existed.

Talk:Gnomon

message: I was just wondering why there is no reference here to the fact that the Greek word "gnomon" describes a figure similar to the letter "L" and that is in widespread use throughout the world as a "Carpenter's Square".
Essentially the L shape is indicative that the figure adjoins to a square and thus produces the next larger square in a sequence of squares.
For example, the gnomon on a square of 1 would be 3, that on a square of 4 would be 5, that on a square of 9 would be 7, and so forth.
: Well I'm not certain I know what you're talking about for the carpentry square, but what I did was look up on Google, and typed in the engine: define:gnomon (search results), and got this definition:
:: pronounced NO-mon, a Greek word meaning "the one who knows." The gnomon is the pointer on a sundial, the part of the sundial that "knows" the time. 
: That said, a figure similar to the letter L that you mentioned may be Γ, which is uppercase gamma, the Greek counterpart to G. That would be why that L-looking character is used in reference to a gnomon. --D. F. Schmidt (talk) 14:23, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Another definition of gnomon, from www.answers.com:
The geometric figure that remains after a parallelogram has been removed from a similar but larger parallelogram with which it shares a corner.
And this can be extended to mean something you cannot see (the missing part of the parallelogram) but can still guess it's there because of the stuff around it. You see the word used this way in lit-crit.
--If you look up gnomon on Merriam-Webster's online, and click to see the illustration, the relationship between the carpenter's square and the geometric definition of gnomon becomes clear. Perhaps it would be useful to include a similar illustration in the main article. Thanks. (I'm new to this, so please bear with me as I learn the ropes.)--Mise-en-abyme 04:42, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
