Talk:SS John W. Brown

message: I've heard Jeremiah O'Brien is the only Liberty in original condition...  Trekphiler 02:52, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: True, the SS John W Brown is not as built in September 1942. Following her first voyage, the Brown was one of the 222 Liberty ships that were converted to limited-capacity troop carriers. In May and June of 1943, she was fitted out at the Hobeken Yard to carry some 350 troops in addition to 9,000 tons of cargo. These alterations included, adding accomodations in #1 and #2 'tween decks, adding large washroom and head (toilet) facilities, and adding a troop galley (kitchen). At this time she was also fitted with extra anti-aircraft guns. Following WWII, she served as a floating High School in New York, and the crew accomodations were gutted to make classrooms. The members of project Liberty Ship have now restored her back near to her 1943 wartime condition. Some changes have also been made to meet current Coast Guard requirements (radar, sanitation system, fire-fighting equipment, etc). These same USCG requirements also apply to the O'Brien, so technically the O'Brien is not truly in original condition either. Both ships have been further modified to include museum displays in the cargo spaces. -- Oldfarm 06:26, 6 January 2006 (UTC)

That is also correct when you open it up to not include FF appearances. --rogerd 18:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The fact that it has discrete states makes it digital. I also had one as a kid, and I agree, it was lame. I wouldn't really call it a computer; it had no inputs, no outputs, and no memory. All it could do was step through a programmed sequence of up to eight states when you worked it's "clock" lever. The current state number appeared in binary in the window on the left. I don't remember if the program could "jam" at the end of the sequence, or if it always started over again from the beginning. I only ever programmed mine one time--to count from 0 to 7, and then start over from the beginning.

Anyway the best place for this discussion is over at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals.

message: The perfect article about a writer gives both a (possibly short) biography and a list of books or other major publications they have written. Also, appropriate categories should be added, especially :Category:American writers and those listed in :Category:Writers by genre.
The book list should be sorted in the order that it would be best to read their books. This might include splitting them into categories by genre, or series. It should indicate if they are listed in the order they were written or in chronological order, if these are different.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pegship (talk • contribs) 01:09, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Bucknell University

message: @DonFB is puffing up the section. This is a classic example of overwriting in order to flatter a topic. Linking to Christy Mathewson is enough; it is not necessary to start singing his praises here. I suggest taking the puff out again. -- Melchior2006 (talk) 08:02, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Wow. That's a pretty overheated response to a very basic contextual addition. I added three words--that's not "overwriting" by any conceivable definition. It's entirely appropriate to give readers a quick sense of why his name went on the stadium. I think your definition of puffery needs to be dialed back a little bit. DonFB (talk) 08:19, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The Christy Mathewson article presumably mentions that Christy is in a hall of fame. We usually don't explain why buildings are named after people. If someone is interested in researching why a name was given, then they can click the link. An example: the Pentagon has five wings. In another article about someone working at the Pentagon, you will not usually find the info-supplement: "she works at the Pentagon, a building named after its five wings." -- Melchior2006 (talk) 08:28, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree; that would be silly. The analogy is somewhat imperfect. This article explicitly tells readers who the stadium is named for. It's not puffery to put that honor, in the briefest possible way, in context. Why, a reader might wonder, was this particular player chosen for the honor. Yes, the Mathewson article does inform readers at the end of the first paragraph that he's a Hall of Famer. Readers can certainly click to go there and see what's special about him. But we can serve readers even better by allowing them to stay on the page while giving them that little bit of contextual information--instead of forcing them to leave the page. If they decide they want more detailed information--then the link is there for them. DonFB (talk) 08:50, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Some of the recent changes to this article have given undue weight to non-notable details of the change in ownership. However, I do believe that the change of ownership is a notable event that is reasonable to include in this article in a simple, straightforward manner, without any artificial distinctions being made between owning and operating a team. I propose that the first sentence in the section "Trenton Titans (2011–current)" be changed to the following:
:Blue Line Sports LLC, managed by John and Eileen Martinson, took over the team, restoring the original Titans moniker and affiliating the team with the Philadelphia Flyers.

:groups of motor units work together, as a single muscle
because I couldn't quite gather the meaning and didn't want to convey the idea that a group of motor units is equivalent to a muscle. Motor units contain muscle fibers, which are the substance of muscles, but a mass of motor units is not equivalent to a muscle. It's better to say that groups of motor units often work together to coordinate the contractions of a single muscle.

message: Under which category should this appear:
* :Category:Spring (season) events in Australia
or the (presently non-existent)
* :Category:Dry season events in Australia?
This question may seem facetious, but does have a serious intent.  Many parts of tropical Australia have only two recognised seasons annually, "the wet" and "the dry"http://www.australia.gov.au/about-australia/australian-story/austn-weather-and-the-seasons Australian weather and seasons – a variety of climates, owing to rain occurring almost exclusively during the monsoons.  And traditional land-owners around Australia recognise, not the European four seasons, but a number varying from two to six or even more, depending upon the seasonal availability of various foods important to their lives.http://www.abc.net.au/science/articles/2003/08/14/2118153.htm?site=science The lost seasons  For example, Aboriginals of the Burarra people, of North Central Arnhem Land, have "four seasons, Lugurrma, Barra, Wilma and Jilicha which are related to the winds that blow at different times of the year".https://www.questacon.edu.au/burarra-gathering/seasonal-calendar Seasonal Calendar of the Burarra People  At the other end of the country, Aboriginals of the Port Phillip region in the State of Victoria – from the Wurundjeri, Wathaurong, and Bunurong tribes of the Kulin nation – traditionally observe a cycle of six seasons in the year.http://www.herringisland.org/seasons.htm Seasonal calendars for the Melbourne area
Still, I have no idea how many (or how few) Australian events are readily categorisable as belonging to any season not named according to the European model.  If too few, of course, such categories would be mostly useless.  Nor do I know what reliable sources exist that document indigenous Australian events that occurred in the seasons they recognise(d).  It's interesting that the article The lost seasons begins with the quote: "Hundreds of years ago, the seasons in Australia were marked by local events like sharks breeding and wattle flowering" (my emphasis).  However, the sense of "event" that WP is including in the various "seasonal" categories seems to be totally unrelated to these natural cyclical changes of weather and resource supply.  Rather, it's to more or less commercial activities whose occurrence is quite rigidly fixed to dates on a more mechanistic calendar.
I would appreciate your input.  yoyo (talk) 02:47, 2 January 2018 (UTC)
