message: This is my first article for Wiki so any advice or comments would be welcome. I got a bit confused when it came to adding citatios so any help with that would be great.   Thanks--Tres80 18:49, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This fellow is categorised under "Impostors", but the only meat to this shown in the article is that he used a number of aliases and apparently once styled himself a Lieutenant-Colonel on a hotel register -- and hotel registers are a noted venue for fictional licence.  Technically, yes, an imposter, I suppose, but I think by any reasonable standard something more than this is required for someone to be notable as an impostor -- such as a sustained effort to establish oneself in the false identity, claim status and credentials one has not earned, and a profit motive (as opposed to merely obscuring one's identity).
For this reason, I am removing the "Impostor" category.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.223.125.168 (talk) 19:41, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

message: For benefit of readers who will not have read Spike Milligan's War Memoirs, it would be useful to specify the title of the book in which his reference to Heath occurs. Milligan wrote in all six such books which ended in "Peace Work", but would it have been classed as being under the 'War' phase?

Talk:Las Trampas, New Mexico

message: I've moved this addition by User:Trampero here for discussion and fixup. I've cleaned it up a bit:
	
:The Santo Tomas Apostal del Rio de las Trampas land grant was given by the Kingdom of Spain, on 1 July 1751, as a "tax free" community land grant to Spanish soldiers and Tlaxcalan Indians .  Originally over 58,000 acres, the U.S. Patent Grant #27 reduced the land area to 28,000 acres. Before the patent was signed, the Santa Fe Ring had successfully sequestered(?) the common lands,  from the Tramperos. All but approximately 7000 acres are now in the Carson National Forest.
Do you have a source for this material?  Most of it seems factually correct, but not really in encyclopedia format yet. I'll be happy to try to fix it up with you, Pete Tillman (talk) 20:43, 31 March 2012 (UTC)

message: I wrote that CPI was the "largest manufacturer of vacuum tubes in the United States".  It may very well be the only manufacturer of vacuum tubes left in the U.S.  Yahoo! Finance lists (as competitors of CPII) only e2v Technologies (formerly English Electric Valve), Thales, and L-3 Communications, and I'm pretty sure that they don't do make tubes in the U.S. (if they even make tubes at all).  The advertisements in the back of radio trade magazines suggest that there are a few remaining tube factories in Russia, and Eimac, and that's it (at least as far as high-power broadcast tubes go).  121a0012 18:45, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Bahmanyar

message: I've removed "al-Adharbayjani" from his name, since there is no clear proof that it was ever part of it. Islamica has his full name as "Abu al-Hasan (or Abu al-Husayn) Bahmanyar ibn al-Marzuban", while Encyclopaedia of Islam has it as "Bahmanyar ibn al-Marzuban". It is not even certain that he was from Azerbaijan, Islamica says this: "Bahmanyār is said to have been a Zoroastrian from the region of Ādharbāyjān", while Encyclopaedia of Islam doesn't even make any mention of Azerbaijan. Both sources state he may have been the son of the Bavandid ruler in Mazandaran, al-Marzuban. --HistoryofIran (talk) 22:40, 2 September 2020 (UTC)

message: I don't have time to fix right now, but the history of connection between WMI and MBA as given in final paragraph is inaccurate and could be more complete. The school remained in the building on Nashville's Rutledge Hill where Metro Planning is now located until after 1900, I think. Current Peabody campus dates from 20th century, as Peabody moved from Rutledge Hill around 1910. Ridley Wills' history of MBA would have all the details.

Talk:Caisson

message: The above-named red link keeps getting restored. I have reverted edits to add it in after the page was speedy deleted for being a duplicate of Caisson lock, which is already included on the disambiguation list. Please stop re-adding it. RegistryKey(RegEdit) 13:00, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Our Caisson lock article is clearly describing a very specific thing - an entire lock where the boat ascends and descends in a caisson chamber. That is clearly a different thing from a gate for a conventional lock. What I've not been able to determine is whether a 'caisson lock gate' is actually something different from a conventional lock gate. Clearly a hollow steel gate can be constructed like a caisson to assist its movement into place during construction or refurbishment, but are there lock gates (as opposed to dock gates) that are (partially) flooded and unflooded in the normal course of operation? To my mind, that is what a 'Caisson lock gate' ought to mean - though of course we need sources. AndyTheGrump (talk) 13:16, 21 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah gotcha now. It was the way I was reading the title. I did some googling, and I did find this link, plus there is a youtube video here that shows what one actually looks like.

Talk:Reaction engine

message: Would it be correct to add water pump-jets as examples of reaction engines? The Jet-ski (and equivalent) uses a pump-jet for propulsion, i.e. it obtains thrust in reaction to the ejected stream of water. But then this is really so different from a propeller on a shaft external to the engine? (Sdsds - Talk) 18:58, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pump-jets 

message: In a discussion on the Talk:Conservation of energy page, I made the point that the time rate of change of the kinetic energy of the rocket engine is not simply Fv where F is the thrust and v is the engine velocity. A second term which constitutes an energy loss due to the mass of propellant being lost to the exhaust must be included. The correct statement is:
dE/dt=Fv-\frac{1}{2}\mu v^2
where \mu is the rate at which propellant mass is converted to exhaust mass. As noted by 95.134.115.203, the total power P  and thrust F produced by the engine can be assumed constant, so, assuming no heating effects, if Po=Fv is the rate at which the engine increases its kinetic energy, and Px is the rate of energy increase of the exhaust train, then P=Fv+Px or Px=P-Fv and at a high enough velocity, the rate of change of energy of the exhaust train is negative. Thats impossible.
I would edit the article myself, but I am not familiar enough with it to trace the implications of this throughout the article. PAR (talk) 21:53, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

I believe there is no reason for adding the template at the top of the Help Afghan School Children Organization  article and that is why I removed it.

message: who said it was "obvious" when in a round shape? I saw the lines advencing in a diagonal manner (top-left to bottom-right). There is no way to define the "real" movement here (left to right, top to bottom and top-left to bottom-right movements will give exactly the same pixels over time, whatever the shape of the window). Anon
:This isn't a great animation. Its a bit too slow to create a compelling effect. Also, I moved the circular aperture figure to the left so it isn't colinear with the 'pole' version above. The two figures are probably being grouped so the motion appears the same. As for your comment that there is no way to define the "real" motion... welcome to the wonderful world of visual perception! Famousdog 13:39, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The world of visual perception may be wonderful, but the quoted sentence is still incorrect. Even if we assume that the "real" motion is horizontal, a person looking at the image can see either horizontal, vertical or diagonal movement, whichever he chooses (and I believe the diagonal is the most natural). So the horizontal motion is far from being obvious. -- Meni Rosenfeld (talk) 23:33, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Extensive re-write. Hope that's clearer. The "horizontal motion" alluded to was the physical direction of spin in a real barberpole, not the perceived direction.
