Talk:Glossary of New Zealand railway terms

message: Just so you know, List of UK railfan jargon and List of US railfan jargon have both been AfD'd, for the 3rd and 2nd time respectively. Mjroots (talk) 19:45, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Other lists AfD'd

message: I've tagged all the unreferenced entries with the  tag. The UK article has been fully referenced, and the US article in about to be culled, with unreferenced entries being removed to a sub-page to enable them to be re-added if a reference can be found, as has been done with the UK article. It's only fair that the NZ article is given similar treatment. You may think that an entry is blindingly obvious, but a reference is required. Somebody who knows little or nothing about NZ railways needs to be able to verify an entry if they want to. Mjroots (talk) 13:31, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: Further to the above message by Mjroots, after some discussion over on the TWP talk page, it's been decided that all unreferenced entries in the glossary will be moved to a holding page at the end of June.  Accordingly, I would like to encourage everyone to seek out references for the unreferenced entries here.  I'll work with the sources I have and can hopefully substantiate the majority, but my sources tend to have been published in the 1990s.  I have little material on the 2000s, and since I live in Australia these days, my access to print magazines on New Zealand railways is rather limited.  So if anybody can help out and find verifiable sources for things like "corn cob", that would be fantastic. - Axver (talk) 11:51, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Solid phase peptide synthesis

message: ist there really an anionic nitrogen? wouldn't a carbamate ion be formed in between that splits up after taking in a proton to the N?
I'd rather say it's slow because proton has to be removed from a carbon. May it should be mentioned that there is an aromatic intermediate ion.

Talk:Holbeck railway station

message: The station at Holbeck Junction had the main purpose of being a changing point between the lines which ran into the different termini in Leeds. Eg to travel from Harrogate to London one could change at Holbeck. This became uneccessary when the lines were re-routed into a single Leeds terminus. According to the Leeds photo archive site http://www.leodis.net "both levels opened in July 1855 and closed in July 1958" Davidnugget (talk) 20:06, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I mention this in discussion rather than going straight for the delete button but am I not right in saying that 'The shot heard around the world' actually refers to The USA's 1-0 victory over England in the 1950 World cup finals. I can't say that this is the case with 100% certainty but can remember that the USA's qualification for the 1990 World cup was not considered much of a shock in the soccer world as many of their squad were established and successful pros in England, Germany and Italy.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.101.22.20 (talk) 09:05, 16 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:List of cognate terms in Vedic and Avestan mythology

message: a worthy undertaking, but maybe merge with Indo-Iranian religion until it reaches substantiality? Also, alphabetization by Latin alphabet is a wee bit pointless. If (for neutrality) we sort it by the reconstructed Proto-Indo-Iranian term, a lot of letters will not be used, but there will be various palatals that have no straightforward Latin equivalent. dab (ᛏ) 11:19, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:MIRACL

message: If this is not the most powerful, please list the alternatives on the talk page. Several sources say "most powerful", but I'll admit they may mean, most powerful CW laser, most powerful chemical laser, or most powerful laser for missile testing. I think the key is that it is continuous wave making it more powerful than pulse lasers with higher peak power but lower average power than a CW laser. --Dual Freq 11:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Using radar as an example, a 10 kilowatt CW radar system that had a much higher average power than a 5 megawatt pulsed radar because of the pulse width and pulse repetition rate. 5 MW sounds higher than 10 KW, but the 10 KW is there 100% of the time, but a pulsed radar is only there for a few milliseconds at a time on the pulsed system. You'd need to know the duration of the pulse and the repetition rate of the pulses to determine the duty cycle and the more powerful of the two. --Dual Freq 02:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I hope you're not calling my redirection vandalism in your edit summary; there's been very little opposition here or on the main article's talk page to merging the two. There was great duplication of text, and now it's all in one place, with a prominent section header for mega-brothels. No one is trying to mislead, only consolidate under a logical heading. This article was not so large as to bear splitting out from the main brothel article, in my opinion.

Talk:New Model Army (band)

message: Probably important to get this one right :) but the article refers to the band taking its name from 'Thomas Fairfax's English Revolution Militia' which is not correct (a mistake repeated in the referenced obituary) the New Model Army was established by Parliament in 1645 during the English Civil War (Revolution is normally applied to that of 1688) specifically to replace the mix of local militia and trained bands previously used to fight the King. Fairfax was appointed as C-in-C but the whole point was that it was the first permanent military force in England owing allegiance to Parliament, not the monarchy
This is further referenced in Sullivan's use of 'Slade the Leveller' since the Levellers were a radical group with significant support in the NMA. I don't know how much of this is relevant but the first bit certainly seems to be.

Talk:Clavioline

message: following text was deleted: "Al Kooper on the album "Super Session" with Mike Bloomfield and  Stephen Stills. (It is there credited as an ondioline, an instrument with very similar tone and design which was developed by Georges Jenny around the same time.)"
reason:
[comment added later by Morgan Fisher, ex-member of Mott the Hoople] The previous writer is in error. Al Kooper did in fact play an Ondioline. I can confirm this by mentioning that (a) I own both an Ondioline and a Clavioline, and (b) Al verified this when I met him in 2003. My only disappointment was that Al - probably the only musician to have used the Ondioline so brilliantly in rock music - never owned one - he only rented them. I wish I could verify this by sources other than my own experience, but I can't. But anyone can email Al via his website: www.alkooper.com.
