Talk:William Stukeley

message: Stukeley's diary clearly states that he was made a mason in January 1721, before Montagu's installation. The Grand Master was a commoner, there is no commentary on numbers, and (obviously) there is no commentary on future events. The two statements about lodge numbers and later developments in Grand Lodge would be useful if referenced. Does anybody know where these quotes came from?

:...incorrectly believed that the prehistoric megalithic monuments were a part of the druidic religion
which besides being unsourced is almost certainly a . It is undoubtably true that they were erected well before the people the Romans identified as druids were hanging around, but there's absolutely no way of establishing that the druids didn't consider themselves the continuation of a faith handed down by the original monolith builders; no way—short of archaeological digs establishing that absolutely no one visited the site for centuries during the Roman period—of establishing that they actually weren't; and no way of establishing that they weren't repurposed by the druids in some other fashion regardless of their original founders' intent. Removed pending clarification of some point he certainly got wrong (believing them to have been constructed  century , for instance). — LlywelynII 04:49, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:William Thompson (general)

message: :The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section. 
The word "General" is a title, and should be capitalized to be distinguished from the adjective "general" that can mean "general entry" for the article "William Thompson"
:Comment. Capitalizing "general" in disambiguation doesn't seem to be the usual practice: Charles Lee (general), John Glover (general), Diophantus (general), David Henderson (general), John Nixon (general), Theodoros Pangalos (general), Demosthenes (general), etc. There are a some exceptions, e.g. Artapanus (General), John Forbes (General). Of course, "General" can be used as a title or as a description of rank, so it's sometimes capitalized, sometimes not. You would write, "This article is about General William Thompson", or "William Thompson was a general." The second example is not capitalized (at least not in American English), though Wikipedians frequently get this wrong. Whether or not using the uncapitalized form in disambiguation is potentially more confusing, I don't know. Personally I don't care which one is used, just pointing out that lower case seems to be favored right now. —Kevin Myers 04:26, 4 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe the caps issue could be avoided by using William Thompson (American Revolutionary War officer) or William Thompson (Continental Army officer) (he had many other ranks than just 'general')? William Thompson (brigadier general) would be another way to make it clear that it's the military def of general. Sohelpme 23:51, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Comment. I like the William Thompson (American Revolutionary War officer). More descriptive and specific than "General". Ipeirotis 15:15, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: "Officer" is not really needed, since there aren't non-officer William Thompsons in the Revolutionary War we need to distinguish him from. I would go with fewer words, either William Thompson (American Revolution) or William Thompson (American Revolutionary War). —Kevin Myers 16:04, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:NBA All-Star Weekend Skills Challenge

message: Okay, sources on Steve Nash's time are inconsistent. I've read a few articles that say his time was 25.4, and others that say his time was 25.8, and I've even seen one that said it was 25.7. Most of these articles seemed pretty professional (as far as Internet and Newpaper articles go), but the most compelling source in my opinion is video evidence. I could only find one video of Steve Nash's run, and it was on youtube.com, and it posted a time of 25.8. Also, of all of the video highlights that stated the event record since 2005, all of them had a record time of 25.8. As far as I know, there is no video highlight that disputes the time of 25.8, which would make Deron Williams run of 25.5 the event record. What do you guys think? --67.182.196.160 (talk) 05:59, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Barotropic fluid

message: Looks like we have an error here - 
"The isobaric surfaces will also be isothermal surfaces, hence (from the thermal wind equation) the geostrophic wind is independent of height. Hence the motions of a rotating barotropic air mass or fluid are strongly constrained."
A flow independent of height doesn't necessarily have to be rotationally constrained, although a rotationally constrained flow (c.f. Taylor-Proudman) is independent of height under certain conditions.  I would suggest a change like the following.
"The motions of a rotating barotropic air mass or fluid are strongly constrained as explained by the Taylor-Proudman theorem.  Since density depends only on pressure the isobaric surfaces will also be isothermal surfaces and (from the thermal wind equation) the geostrophic wind is independent of height."

Template talk:Elastic moduli

message: Should the formula table be initially hidden? --Berland 15:26, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: yes, I think it would be better. Formulas are detailed information, which should be kept in minimum to keep the article text more readable. Also I think this table should be added to all linear elasticity articles (section see also) which include even one of these moduli. The key idea of the different moduli is that you need only two of them to describe linear material and different applications use different forms for simplicity. I would add this note in to the table "note: a linear elastic material needs only two moduli, other moduli can be expressed as their function". Maybe I sleep on it, the phrasing is not that good.

Talk:Wael Zwaiter

message: Someone just posted a note about inserting the word "terrorist" smack-dab in the first sentence at the WP Palestine page. Well, the IP actually has it right. Per WP:AVOID, or more specifically, WP:TERRORIST, we can't simply claim a person is a terrorist no matter who says he is. In this case, Israelis claim he's a terrorist as they do with Arafat, and many others, but this is clearly biased. Just as it would be biased to say Zwaiter was a "freedom fighter" or fighting in the "resistance against Israel", or something else along those lines. We could, however, put in the second sentence that Israelis viewed Zwaiter as a terrorist for his role in the Munich Massacre. This is all we could do, lead-wise—someone could start a section on his role in Munich and the aftermath and discuss this terrorist bit there. --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:31, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know much on Zwaiter (nothing before today actually except that he was from Nablus), but from what I read in the article, his participation in the Black September movement was alleged by the Mossad and the Italian police, while his role was vehemently denied by the PLO. There's not even evidence (at least in the article) of his role in any terror-related activities. Nonetheless, he is claimed to be a terrorist so we must write that he was viewed as such and by who views him as such. I re-added the terrorist bit, by the way, just in a more fair and NPOV manner. --Al Ameer son (talk) 16:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Concordia Lutheran Conference

message: I'd like to suggest that we turn Fellowship of Lutheran Christians into a redirect pointing to this article. The article on the FLC is misnamed (the denomination is actually named "Fellowship of Lutheran Congregations"), is only two sentences long, and lacks any sources. All the information I was able to find online on the FLC I already included in this article, so I don't think that article is likely to grow any larger than it currently is, and in its current state, I have to imagine it is only a matter of time before someone nominates it for deletion (even if that day is a decade or two out). A merger/redirect would at least preserve its page history and talk page.
I should also mention that I already created a redirect for Fellowship of Lutheran Congregations, linking here, so if anyone is opposed to this suggestion, I'll have to change that redirect to point to Fellowship of Lutheran Christians. (, my apologies for not typing up this merger proposal on Saturday, when I made my other changes. The creation of that redirect is the reason I bolded "Fellowship of Lutheran Congregations."
