message: I think the following statement absolutely needs to be referenced (i.e. attributed to a reputable source):
:The arrest came three months after Vanunu said in an interview that Israel was behind the John F. Kennedy assassination. In the interview he had said the assassination was due to "pressure [Kennedy] exerted on then-head of government David Ben-Gurion to shed light on Dimona's nuclear reactor." (See also: Kennedy assassination theories).
Which interview? When? Where? With whom?  — mark ✎ 16:26, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: There is every reason to doubt an opinion article. Opinion articles have, after all, been wrong before. Mainstream newspapers have been wrong before. It simply comes to my notice that no anti-Israeli/neutral sources have mentioned this at all. Further, we don't even know if Vanunu was actually aware of the claims. He is, after all, imprisoned. Lack of denial does not equal confirmation - statement of sources or an acknowledgement is. It is perfectly possible that the writer of that piece looked at his background with groups that opposed the bombing, and assumed that he was with them. This may or may not be a true assumption, but it is an assumption, and cannot be stated as though it was accepted fact.--Fangz 19:21, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

text: I don't need facts to claim the piece is accurate. Good journalism needs to state its sources. JPost doesn't seem to have the facts to claim its piece is accurate, and not just a theory drawn by inference. The silence of the opposition can mean a variety of things - that they don't want to lend the idea credibility by giving a drawn out debate. That they weren't able to interview Vanunu extensively, so they don't want to presume to know what the truth is. That they think that anything so long ago, during a time where Vanunu was obviously pro-nuclear enough to work in the Israeli program, must surely be irrelevant. I, for one, (who think I am neutral, but then again, who doesn't?) was not even aware of the Osiraq claim - maybe they didn't hear of it, either. Can you or anyone claim to read the minds of all these people? Even as you accuse me of disputing the accuracy of JPost, you are also accusing the entire left/centre media of the entire world of being in a vast conspiracy of ommission. Do you have the facts to back that up? The Osiraq claim is an allegation which has not been responded to. Nothing more, nothing less. Until proven otherwise.--Fangz 10:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I don't doubt the possibility that Saetia derived their name from a song by Miles Davis.  However, I'm not exactly sure where this information came from, thus I would like to propose another possible explanation.  The word "saetia" has a literary precedent related to the term "inertia."  In a literary context, saetia is described as the inverse of inertia.
In very simple terms, if inertia is the resistance to change, or the tendency for a moving thing to remain in motion and a still thing to remain still (both in physics and literature), saetia would represent the tendency for a moving thing to suddenly stop or a still thing to suddenly move.  I've seen this term used before particularly in the discussion of the works of Charles Baudelaire, a French poet and early Modernist.  In addition to its relation with the term inertia, it is often used in conjunction with terms like ennui (boredom), anomie (normlessness), and apathy (lack of caring).
Unfortunately I'm finding it difficult to find any actual sources, electronic or otherwise, that support this claim.  I still have plenty of texts to peruse, and I should find something of value soon.
It's clear to anyone who enjoys listening to Saetia's music that they were a group of serious artists who understood the beauty in expressing complex themes.  I find it just as likely, if not more so, that they named their band after such a theme, especially when considering that this theme is reflected in their music and lyrics.
Like so many Saetia fans I came to discover their music long after they were no more, and sadly never had the opportunity to see them life, much less speak with them.  If at some point during their existence they stated the origin of their name I would have missed it.  On the other hand, if the declaration of Saetia being a misspelling of the word saeta is simply conjecture then my proposal is marginally more likely.
Perhaps we could at least keep this in mind until the source of the currently held truth is made less obscure.

message: New enough here that I don't want to just change this without mentioning it, but according to all I've read, including Fletcher's "Quest for El Cid," the Cid fought Christians as well as Muslims, as did most during that time.
Assuming that battle lines were always drawn along religious lines is misleading and should certainly be avoided - alliances often crossed the religion lines, typically more often than not(!). Charles Martel (the Hammer) who defeated the Muslim advance into Spain, did so with Muslim allies (see "Islamic Imperialism: A History"); Saladin allied himself with the Christian kingdoms when it suited him and was more focused on defeating his Muslim rivals for the leadership of the Muslim world than kicking out the Levantine kingdoms.

message: The following two paragraphs are under the "Presidential Campaigns" header:
:Bush was inaugurated for his second term on January 20, 2005. The oath was administered by Chief Justice William Rehnquist. Bush's inaugural speech centered mainly on a theme of spreading freedom and democracy around the world. Bush stated in his second inauguration on January 20, 2005:
:"From the perspective of a single day, including this day of dedication, the issues and questions before our country are many. From the viewpoint of centuries, the questions that come to us are narrowed and few. Did our generation advance the cause of freedom? And did our character bring credit to that cause?"
Do these actually belong under this header?  We don't mention anything about the 2001 Inaugural address under that header.  Should there be a separate section with the highlights of the Bush inaugural addresses?  —Cleared as filed. 08:53, July 15, 2005 (UTC)

message: I've added some key sources which Elaborate on Popularism; Il "Popolarismo" and Reforma Statle E Indirizza Politica (1920-1922). In the article and the book, Sturzo elaborates on his idea of popularism. 
However, there are problems with these texts. First, the texts are pieces of other texts. Reforma Statle E Indirizza Politica, for example, is one of two books in the PDF. Il "Popolarismo" is similarly a part of a wider text series, given it is only an article. However, the publisher, the Sturzo Institute, divides the article by it's pages and turns them into into images in a gallery - so it's not even in one piece. I'm tempted to collate these and chuck them on the Internet Archive.
The second problem with the texts is they are in Italian. DishevelledD (talk) 08:25, 10 February 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Air interface

message: I've deleted the sentence added by 4.167.233.164. It has since been copy edited (thanks all), but it was, to my understanding, fundamentally misleading and incorrect, as it discussed "sound waves". Clearly RF communications are transmitted in radio waves and not sound waves.
I wonder if the word "circuit" should be changed, since there's no circuit (wires), and because perhaps this inappropriately restricts the term to one side of the circuit switched/packet switched divide.
I have some background in wireless networking (though not cellular networks), and I don't think I ever used the term "Air interface", at least in a formal way. This doesn't feel like well defined vocabulary. Will someone define "air interface" more carefully with respect to the OSI model or wireless protocol stacks? Is this term well defined and widely used? Comments? Ideas?

message: How are these synonyms? And where does the notion that "Air interface" isn't used in GSM come from? Just grabbing the nearest book on GSM to me (Heine's GSM Networks: Protocols, Terminology, and Implementation, there's an entire chapter called "The Air-Interface of GSM".
An air interface merely describes the radio part of the protocols used for the phone to communicate with the tower or towers. The RAN is a larger network which handles many aspects of the routing of data/channels and is a significantly higher level concept.
Both RAN and Air interface make this claim that they're describing the same thing whereas I see little relationship. I'd like to see a cite for this. Squiggleslash 03:26, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

message: During ocean safari '85 I was a member of the ships crew and I remember the incident where we lost that huge brass bell. The damage was caused by a rogue wave that must have been at least 80 feet high. I was manning the helm during my watch rotation and I remember seeing this huge wave off in the distance. I tried to turn the ship to hit it head on and I remember that as it hit I first saw the sky followed by a solid sheet of water which went over the top of the ship. My friend, signalman David Thomas, was above me in the signal bridge shack and told us that the wave went over the shack. Not only did we loose what was stated but we also had one of our weather deck doors bow under the pressure of the wave. We were escorting some coastguard cutters at the time but they had to take refuge by hidding in Iceland to wait out the rest of the storm. --FritzT (talk) 00:58, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

But the epidemiology section is mostly about a "disease triangle" and has no obvious place to insert a couple sentences.
