Talk:November 1992 Irish constitutional referendums

message: The Twelfth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 1992, Thirteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland and Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland were each proposed amendments to the same clause of the constitution. The articles currently contain a certain amount of overlap. Merging them to this page would show their common background and context, and the similarities and difference in result more clearly. Albeit with three different ballots, in other senses they were a single event in Irish politics. This can be distinguished from, for example, 1998 Irish constitutional referendums; both the Amsterdam Treaty and the Good Friday Agreement amended Article 29, but the background context was clearly different.
This is being proposed in parallel to a similar proposal on Talk:1968 Irish constitutional referendums and arising from a discussion on WT:IE in relation to the upcoming referendums. Iveagh Gardens (talk) 10:42, 5 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:1968 Irish constitutional referendums

message: The Third Amendment of the Constitution Bill 1968 and Fourth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 1968 were each proposed amendments to the same article of the constitution and overlapped in the textual changes proposed. Merging their content to this page would show their common background and context and the similarity in the result more clearly. Albeit with two different ballots, in other senses, they were a single event in Irish politics, a referendum held on the same day. This can be distinguished from, for example, 1998 Irish constitutional referendums; both the Amsterdam Treaty and the Good Friday Agreement amended Article 29, but the background context was clearly different.

Talk:Selan (Dungeons & Dragons)

message: I would like to explain why I have removed some changes by User:Gavin.collins and I am looking for opinions if that was ok:
:- Changed introduction and removed context tag.
:- original research tag removed from Selan's symbol is a moon within a ring.:
:Al-Qadim - Land of Fate - Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara says on p. 51: Symbol: The ringed moon.; p. 49 shows a crescent within a ring.
:I think both phrases are equivalent. By the way: Is it good to choose different wordings in a wikipedia article than in the source in order to avoid copyright infringements?
:-  original research tag removed from Like other Zakharan gods she is above such concerns as alignment, as beauty may be craved and valued by good and evil folk alike.:
:Al-Qadim - Land of Fate - Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara says on p. 45, 46: The Great Gods are neither good nor evil, lawful nor chaotic. They are beyond such matters. Bravery can be found in the most noble faris and the most black-hearted assassin, and who is Hajama to turn his ear from either of them?
:This applies to Selan as well, but her ideal is different. Does my phrase already count as original research (and should therefore be removed), is it incompatible with wikipedia's aspired encyclopedic style (and should therefore be removed) or is it ok (and should be kept as it is; that's unsurprisingly my opinion)?
:- original research tag removed from Her most important center of worship is the Great Mosque of the Moon in Medina al-Afyal.:
:Al-Qadim - Land of Fate - Adventurer's Guide to Zakhara says on p. 51: Her greatest Mosque is not in Huzuz, but on the Island of Afyal, where her followers make up most of the population; and on p. 110 about Medina al-Afyal: Its greatest structures - the Great Mosque of Selan and the Palace of Alon - flank the city.

Talk:Bradford Angier

message: I came here looking for info on Bradford Angier as I fondly remember reading his books 30 years ago and wondered what had become of him.  I published what little information I could verify, but I am sure there is much much more to tell.
Please update the page with whatever you know about him.  It is a shame that someone like Christopher McCandless
recieves so much attention while Bradford Angier is relatively unknown.  I would love to see a movie about 
Bradford and Vena and the time they spent in BC livng in the wild.
I agree, that would be a great movie! -MGW  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 206.145.27.161 (talk) 21:32, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Two chapters in his book, Wilderness Wife, were almost word-for-word copies of two chapters (including the entire chapter entitled "Lying Awake at Night") from the book The Forest (White novel) by Stewart Edward White, which was published in 1904.

replies: text: I think that's a great idea.  As I've mentioned above, I reckon Emma Watson is our best chance for the new FA.  For the good articles, I think Severus Snape might well get there.  Maybe Ginny Weasley? Luna Lovegood?  It'd be nice to get at least one of the books, films or games in the list, and I'm sure some of the actors have enough content to be cut together into a GA.  Happy-melon 17:37, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I was sure that Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) was all set to become a GA, but it's still B-class because it's lacking book/film differences, which are tremendously hard to cite and push POV to mention what were changes. So, if anyone can find some good, solid references as to what's different between the two, then we'd probably have our GA and be close to a FA; the rest of the article is well-referenced. --Fbv65edel / ☑t / ☛c	19:15, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Return ratio

message: Some comments to improve the article:
1. Return Ratio (T) = - Loop Gain (L), they are equal in magnitude, but different sign in the case you mentioned.
2. I think the example is good; considering ro as well as RS, since both resistors (although in this case in parallel with others) are important when dealing with input/output impedances.
3. I also agree in that RD should be called RC, to follow the traditional nomenclature for the BJT (just as VCC).
Electroning (talk) 21:29, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Observations 

message: I think it would be clearer if the example could be simplified. 
*A simpler transistor model neglecting ro would make the figures and equations more compact and at no real loss of generality since ro is just in parallel with RD (why's it called "RD"?)
*RS could also be neglected
