thread_title:  violent? 

message: I use the same writing style everywhere I go online partially because of my autism, and partially because I know no other way to write. I like Nancy Drew despite my discomfort over her origin story, which is similar to the one used for the main character of the 1935 film THE UNBORN, Alice.  This film is the only one to deal with the topic of involuntary sterilization and was made outside the studio system for the purpose of exploitation.  In, it, Alice's foster family agree to be sterilized because they are misfits and criminals of the very first type.  Sorry if I caused you any trouble.Glammazon (talk) 14:13, 21 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Involute gear

message: The figure is misleading in that the base radius does not necessarily correspond with the minor diameter of the teeth.  With large number of teeth it is less, and with small number of teeth it could become more, and that is why a "correction" is needed.  203.51.92.229 (talk) 02:05, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Misleading figure 

message: The use of the word "sliding" to describe the contact between the teeth is incorrect.  In a properly meshed pair of involute gears, the contact is actually a rolling action with no sliding involved.  This is one of the reasons why the involute form for the gear teeth is so successful: there is little friction between the teeth and thus very little wear.  I will attempt to change the text to reflect this.  EPA3 (talk) 21:18, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Sliding contact 

message: I am intrigued by Leonhard Euler's design of circle-involute gear teeth that maintain an exact constant ratio of angular velocity between two such meshed gears.
But what if one of them is not a circle, but a straight line (with the same circle-involute gear teeth)?  I know these are called rack-and-pinion gears, but I don't know whether they maintain an exact constant ratio of angular speed to linear speed.  (And whether the circular gear rolling on the straight one remains along an exact straight line.)
Can someone knowledgeable on this matter please add answers to these questions to the article?  It would be a natural thing to find in this article.  Thanks.Daqu (talk) 15:25, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Walter Camp

message: It seems like this article and related pieces on the early history of football are deficient to the extent that they do not mention that the forward pass was not permitted in the game until after 1905 when after a spate of injuries and deaths on the field that resulted in calls for banning of the sport, President Theodore Roosevelt called a conclave of college officials at the White House to deal with this issue, a meeting that I as I recall from the Britannica article on this, included Camp and Yost.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.140.32 (talk) 17:48, 12 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Forward Pass?

message: The Wiki article asserts that Camp played six seasons of college football at Yale from 1876 to 1882.  I have now gone through the game accounts of the 1882 season and find no reference in those accounts to Camp being a player for the 1882 team.  Does someone have a source showing Camp as a football player for Yale in 1882?  If not, I will remove Camp from :Template:1882 Yale Bulldogs football navbox. Cbl62 (talk) 18:57, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

message: It says that he lost the party's secretary general job to Takeo Fukuda "when Eisaku Sato became prime minister in 1965", but it is not so simple: Sato became prime minister in 1964, not 1965, and Tanaka was secretary general between 1965-66 and 1968-71, and Fukuda between his terms. Cf. ja.wiki or Mark Weston, Giants of Japan, Kodansha International, pp. 228-229.

Talk:John of Cappadocia

message: Google searches seem to mix up three possible "John[s] of Cappadocia"
, :
*John of Cappadocia, patriarch of Constantinople, whom the current article is all about.  
*John of Cappadocia, praetorian prefect under the Byzantine emperor Justinian I. His article is at John the Cappadocian now.  
*a lesser known John of Cappadocia, praetorian prefect under the emperor Arcadius.   
Shall we put all three guys into one article? How shall we name the title if so?

Talk:Stripboard

message: The description reminds me of the breadboard, check this 
:Indeed, there are certain similarities. The breadboard is a reusable thing though, with connections pushed in and held by friction - with veroboard, the board itself is not reusable and the connections are permanently soldered. They get used for similar things, though veroboard is more permanent. I'll mention and link the breadboard article. GRAHAMUK 05:37, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)

thread_title: Pin measurement

message: I noted that a small Canadian company is selling "Veroboard" on eBay, and wondered if this was actual UK Veroboard, or just a similar product, thinking that surely use of the actual brand name must indicate UK product. As it turns out, Veroboard is registered as a trademark in the UK (http://www.ipo.gov.uk/domestic?domesticnum=824961), but not in the US as far as I could tell. The Canadian company mentioned has just (2009-2010) applied for use of "Veroboard" in Canada.  (http://www.ic.gc.ca/app/opic-cipo/trdmrks/srch/tmSrch.do?lang=eng)  So, not the same brand per se, but perhaps availability in North America will now be improved.

:Well, mainly it has no context at all.  It looks like you are talking about mythology, but which one? If its a general theory then examples need giving, etc. Morwen 14:50, 28 Oct 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The theory is declared "dropped by academia" without any reference to source. The acceptance of it by novelists is invalidated by this claim, without reference. I've added a "citation needed" to two key points of the text: after the first paragraph of "reconsideration of theory" and after the claim that the theory was dropped in "Cultural Influencest". Anecdotally, I know that Britain did have a tradition of equality for women on the matter of rulling: they had female leaders back in the times of the Roman occupation. This is probably relevant to the portrait of a female oriented culture in Britain associated to a goddess cult in Marion Zimmer Bradley's, referred in the text as following the allegedly dropped story of the sky father take over.

Talk:Non-Euclidean geometry

message: The current version of the article says, regarding The Call of Cthulhu, "It is heavily implied this is achieved as a side effect of not following the natural laws of this universe rather than simply using an alternate geometric model, as the sheer innate wrongness of it is said to be capable of driving those who look upon it insane.[35]" and [35] is The Call of Cthulhu. Which is false, what Lovecraft described *was* an alternate geometric model (gravity/perspective working differently, angles looking differently depending on the point of view, that it was easy to get lost), and he did not claim that "innate wrongness is capable to drive insane".

thread_title:  "Che-li in Chinese"? 

message: This was completely unfounded and has been removed.  There was one reference, actually a reference re-used from elsewhere in the article.  The implication of giving this an entire section within the article is that sex tourism is very big in the area, and also that this is a major part of the culture of the region.  Both suggestions are simply untrue.  In reality, 'sex tourism' implies 'tourism for the purpose of sex' and this is largely not a valid concept within the Chinese domestic travel market: in almost every sizable Chinese hotel there are prostitutes operating, everywhere in the country.

thread_title:  James Biddle Wilkinson 

message: On this sentence: "Disappointed in the landscape, in his memoirs Pike called the prairie he had crossed The Great American Desert – a term that stuck, and discouraged settlement for decades."  I am curious to know the source of this information.  I can look for the mention of the term in his memoirs of course, but what about the claim that the term discouraged settlement?  I'd have thought the High Plains were simply not as attractive as Oregon and California, for example, regardless of what the High Plains were called.  In the 19th century, settlement typically meant farming, and without irrigation farming the High Plains is impractical even today.  Also, the sentence implies that Pike coined the term "Great American Desert".  Did he? Thanks. Pfly 19:00, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I've been in Chihuahua, but never heard of Los Coabos, nowadays Chihuahua is a state, but before Mexican independence, there were no states (they also had departments, like in France, where federalists were something like girondin rebels who became thermidorians) Spain is a sort of federal kingdom, but they got "communities" instead of states, and in New Spain they had provinces with names like "New" something, usually some province in Spain, though New Mexico is like Franco who was still in the Middle Ages, so fascism was too modern for him, and that was before the "federal kingdom".

Talk:Noble savage

message: This section has been extensively revised and citations added. It previously contained statements that were misleading or not backed by reliable sources. The unsupported claim that he "had good relations with American Indians during the French and Indian War" wrongly suggests that Franklin had substantial contact with indigenous people at this time. In fact, Franklin spent most of the war in England.
When the Paxton Boys marched on Philadelphia in 1764, Franklin organized the defence. Among the associators were some members of the Quaker community, however, it was not a "Quaker militia." Nor was the purpose of the associators to "temper and control racial violence" or "police the entire colonial community." Once the Paxton Boys agreed to return to their homes the associators also dispersed. Griffin's Sword (talk) 14:54, 3 July 2023 (UTC)

message: in the section "Black Curros", in paragraph 8, the article states:
"The curro was dedicated to laziness, theft and procuring, while his companion, the curra, also called "mulata de rumbo", exercised the prostitution in Cuba. "
this assertion of the purported laziness and thievery of an entire ethnic group and culture is obviously somebody's opinion, which appears to rely on a good deal of prejudice, and yet the article presents it as fact.
this should be presented as the source's opinion, rather than as quantitative information. for example, "the curros were said (by whomever) to be..." rather than "the curro was..."
