message: A couple of years ago, the loop and muted keywords were added to codebase. Examples to the right.
These are not documented. Which makes me wonder, if there are other important undocumented options...
Should I go ahead and add these to the page?

thread_title:  Undocumented: muted and loop options for videos; others? 

message: Is there any reason why long sections of this have quote marks around the code examples? This seems strange and potentially confusing formatting, with the risk that people will think they have to type the quote marks, besides being redundant and distracting.
Surely part of the point of using code style is that the text can be shown exactly as entered, without needing punctuation?
Edit: OK, I see that one user unilaterally put them in. Unfortunately, it looks as though there are also now places where bold italic code was taken out of code style altogether, so the typography doesn't match the opening explanation of how it's used.

Talk:Petr Chelčický

message: This page brings together a lot of scattered thoughts about Peter Chelcicky, an important but often overlooked Christian teacher of the 15th century. It needs a lot of work to improve its readability, plus biographical information on Chelcicky. - Rlvaughn 04:42, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)

message: Could Petr Chelčický be the same person as Peter of Mladoňovice (Petr z Mladoňovice)?  Peter of Mladoňovice was the scribe for nobleman John of Chlum (Jan z Chlum), a protectorate and good friend of Jan Hus, around the year 1415.  If they are one in the same, this would explain much about the questions posed in the "Chelčický's background" section of this article.  Since all of my knowledge regarding Peter of Mladoňovice is from "The Letters of Jan Hus" translated by Matthew Spinka, I don't know anything about him after Hus' death in 1415.  --Dulcimerist (talk) 21:23, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Petr Chelčický isn't same person as Petr z Mladoňovic (correct Czech genitive form for Mladoňovice is Mladoňovic). It's actually known a lot about Petr after 1415. He was one of most moderate of Hussit's masters. He was dean of Charles's University since april 1426 to april 1427, he was rector since 1439. He was also simoultaneously priest in different parishes in Bohemia and Moravia. He died February 7th 1451, but place of death is uknown.--Dryvalley (talk) 16:29, 26 March 2012 (UTC)

And are Balti people and Tibetan people same? Someone is considering the people of Baltistan as Tibetan, but there is a different page for Baltis which states they are not same. Govt of Pakistan states there are about 6000-7000 actual Tibetans. Is that a good source or correct knowledge?

Talk:Polish Brethren

message: * 1 I believe this sentence should be amended, but as I’ve never posted on Wikipedia I don’t feel comfortable changing something.  The sentence:  “These men were exiled from Poland in 1658 after a series of 17th century wars known as The Deluge in which protestant Sweden invaded Poland, since they (as almost all non-Catholics) were commonly seen as Swedish collaborators.” cannot be historically accurate.  As of 1660 Catholics didn’t even comprise 50% of the population (N Davies God’s Playground).  Jews, the Orthodox and the Uniates all had nothing in common with the religion of the Lutheran Swedes.  That they would be seen as collaborators because of their religion in the context of the 2nd Northern War is hard to believe.  I think that the phrase “as almost all non-Catholics” should be removed.  
The rest of the sentence is equally muddled.  In 1658 all the Arians were expelled from the entire Commonwealth, not just Poland, and it was done by both Protestant and Catholic parliamentary deputies.  (D. Stone's work cited below.)  
* 2 Also Daniel Stone in The Polish-Lithuanian State, 1386-1795 has this to say about private property.  “Early enthusiasts challenged the legitimacy of private property, but most Polish Brethren accepted the existing social system and satisfied their Christian conscience by treating serfs and other commoners humanely. “   God’s Playground re: private property, mentions only Marcin Czechowicz’s Chirstian Conversations where he preached “the wickedness of private property” and their commune at Raków.

Talk:Safety valve

message: A temperature relief valve is not something with which I am familiar.  I ask an Engineer to comment but it seems to me the only way a valve could relieve temperature would be as a consequence of the reduction of pressure.  Ideal Gas Law.  So it is just a pressure relief valve:  The temperature and pressure  relief valve mentioned in the article maybe doesn't exist?  Thermostat is to temperature as relief valve is to pressure??  Anyway:  please help out here!  Psb777 08:30, 30 Jan 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Discussion

message: A safety valve, as described in steam engineering, will relieve excess pressure and a further pressure reduction of aprox 6% below the pressure that it popped at.
A pressure relief valve will release only the excess pressure and bring the system pressure down to popping pressure until the excess pressure condition is reduced.
It could be said that although the condition causing excess pressure in a system could still be there, a safety valve will close because of the blow down and may again open up causing cycling of the valve.  If the excess pressure condition still exists with a pressure relief valve, it will not cycle like a safety valve but will stay open until the excess pressure condition is changed to reduce the system pressure.
A safety valve must be pressure, temperature and flow rated for the application (or any combination of safety valves on the system).  In other words a safety valve, or valves if more than one is used to control the unsafe pressure condition, must be able to expell all gas or vapour the system is capable of producing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 204.19.151.8 (talk) 19:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: List in External Links

message: This article has a major problem with 'sentences' which are not syntactically correct English in any suitable dialect thereof. I hesitate to edit the article myself because I'm often not sure how to complete the broken sentences. They fall short of conveying meaning.
I would also like to see more to the article than merely a list of terms and their applications. I would like to know how to recognize the type of valve I might happen to have by looking at how it's constructed, for instance. I would not want to install a vacuum relief valve thinking it was a pressure relief valve. I also understand from elsewhere on the internet that many valves create 'water hammer' or possibly cavitation problems. It would be nice if the article addressed which valve types are likely culprits of such surge problems.
Finally, there are three wikipedia articles conveying essentially the same information, and they should definitely be combined.

Talk:Thermobaric weapon

message: The talk has moved on from rockets to "thermobaric grenades", apparently hand-thrown devices by how they look. The "rockets" probably refer (in part?) to RPG-7-launched double-warheads with penetrating explosive tip plus a thermobaric chamber, made and/or designed in Iran, with Hamas also copying the design in local Gaza workshops. This looks to me like a whole new range of smaller, portable, "poor-man's" super-weapons, used for military purposes against IDF targets, and for terror against civilians. Not covered by the article, or at least not sufficiently.

thread_title:  My talk page 

message: I've replaced the English translation by William Julius Mickle with that by Richard Francis Burton because it reflects the original form. I have no idea how literally accurate it is (sometimes Burton flies far afield)... there is at least 1 other pubic domain ottava rima translation, by J. J. Aubertin, which can be used instead if someone thinks it's better (though my guess is that Burton is a little closer to the original):
Arms and the heroes signalised in fame,
Who from the western Lusitanian shore
Beyond e'en Taprobana sailing came,
O'er seas that ne'er had traversed been before;
Harassed with wars and dangers without name,
Beyond what seemed of human prowess bore,
Raised a new kingdom midst a distant clime,
Which afterwards they rendered so sublime:
