Talk:List of fictional butlers

message: Maybe a table format would work? -- User:Docu
Butler           	Work                         	Note
Alfred Pennyworth	Batman universe              	Bruce Wayne's butler
Barrymore        	The Hound of the Baskervilles	
Lynn Belvedere   	Belvedere                    	in the novel, the adapted feature film and its sequels, and the TV series Mr. Belvedere
* I agree. Also, the actor(s) names should probably be mentioned. I was looking for the movie where Anthony Hopkins plays a butler, which turns out to be The Remains of the Day. In the list it only says: Stevens - in Remains of the Day. --82.171.70.54 (talk) 02:44, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

message: does anyone besides me consider 'rosie the robot maid' innapropriate to this list? if it's kept, the list expands to all fictional servants, and just for an example, mellors, lord chatterley's gamekeeper (and lady chatterley's lover)has to be included.

thread_title: Rosie?

message: As  noted by the above comment in June, periodically, this list gets muddled, with the additions of maids and such. Apparently the person who started the list included this description, "A list of fictional butlers, maids, handymen, and related characters," but titled the actual article "List of fictional butlers." That's completely contradictory and makes no sense. So at this point, there are two options. One, stick to butlers (or reasonable facsimiles) and if necessary create a "List of fictional maids." Two, move this to "List of fictional servants," with divisions based on occupation (butler, maid, housekeeper, cook, gardener, chauffeur, footman, etc.) and if necessary an "Other" list for those who are unclassifiable. In such an organization, "List of fictional valets" could be merged without confusion or destroying the distinction between the two, and thus also help get rid of any duplication between the two lists (the list curently on Valet includes Alfred Pennyworth and even identifies him as a butler, plus Hobson from Arthur). Frankly, that strikes me as making the most sense (though with the potential hazard in that broader lists can become harder to maintain). What do others think? -- Aleal (talk) 21:37, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Variable Geometry Intake Manifold Design Project: http://umsis.miami.edu/~ainteria
The Ford 2.5L Duratec also has variable-length runners. They are selected by a butterfly system in the lower intake manifold (LIM).

T-Jet engines don't have PDA and they don't have VVT. Since the article is about PDA, including them in the list is wrong. You'll find no mention of either PDA or VVT in the press release for the T-Jet engine.http://www.fiatpress.com/press/detail/9482 Take a look at the official cutaway images, and you'll see that the intake manifold is without PDA, and that there's no VVT as well.http://www.fiatpress.com/actionphp/show.Image.php?format=1280&src=SYSTEM_ARCHIVIO/GRUPPO01~MODELLI_ATTUALI_F/070131_F_Bravo_23_1024.jpghttp://www.fiatpress.com/actionphp/show.Image.php?format=1280&src=SYSTEM_ARCHIVIO/GRUPPO01~MODELLI_ATTUALI_F/070131_F_Bravo_26_1024.jpghttp://www.fiatpress.com/actionphp/show.Image.php?format=1280&src=SYSTEM_ARCHIVIO/GRUPPO01~MODELLI_ATTUALI_F/070131_F_Bravo_27_1024.jpg.

thread_title: Our Gang trivia

message: In trying to find out exactly what Farina is, I looked it up here in wikipedia and found this entry to be a bit confusing.  I find that the first sentence "Farina...is a bland-tasting meal made from cereal grains, nuts, or starchy roots" may be in conflict with a later statement reading, "Farina is finely ground wheat..."  Which one is it?  Is Farina a more general term that can apply to any grain, nut or "starchy root," or does it only apply to wheat?  --Ma78 (talk) 04:18, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of clarity in the exact definition of Farina... 

message: I completely agree with the previous poster. The wikipedia entry for Farina is not very clear. Not surprising considering nobody seems to know what farina really is. I have found three distinct definitions for it on the WEB. First was that it is made from a Farina Grain, Second that it was made from Wheat Grain and third that it was made from grains and other stuff. This very entry uses two of these three definitions, even though they are pretty much exclusive of one another. Maybe the chemist who works at the mill can clarify just what exactly is farina. 03/19/2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.172.89.142 (talk) 07:09, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Farina still undefined 

message: This article seems to describe an American food or ingredient.  Mayhaps much of the confusion is caused by the fact that 'farina' is also an Italian word, simply meaning flour.  French 'farine' is equivalent.  Both are fairly commonly used in the rest of the world.

Talk:List of commodities exchanges

message: Commodities exchanges, as I understand it, usually trade futures contracts on commodities.  Such as trading contracts to receive something, say corn, in a certain month.  A farmer raising corn can sell a future contract on his corn, which will not be harvested for several month, and guarantee the price he will be paid when he delivers; a breakfast cereal producer buys the contract now and guarantees the price won't go up when it is delivered.  This protects the farmer from price droips and the buyer from price rises.  
Specualtors also buy and sell the futures contracts to make a profit and provide liquidity to the system.
