Talk:Duration (philosophy)

message: Why use the French word for the article title, rather than it's English translation "duration"? Durée is not a borrowed word in common English usage.  For example, the English translation of the word is used in the English editions of Bergson's book Creative Evolution.  --Blainster 07:34, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Aston Martin Virage

message: The rear light design on the Vantage was taken from a Bova coach which was seen by some of the development engineers at Aston Martin. LewisR 20:00, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vantage Trivia 

message: I've deleted the statement about Aston offering the Virage as a 1996 model. A review of the 1997 DB7 for The Mercury News says: "With this pair of two-door models, Aston Martin returns to the United States after not selling cars here for two years." A review by a different author (posted on the same site, but for the Chicago Tribune) is even more specific: "...[W]e had forgotten Aston Martin existed. Probably because it didn't offer cars here in the 1994, '95 or '96 model years, when its V-8 couldn't meet federal emissions standards and it couldn't afford to add a passenger-side air bag to the handful of cars it sold here." Those statements track with my personal observations of searching classified ads over the years for my own research: I've never seen a '94, '95, or '96 Virage offered for sale in the USA.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/FlashMe

message: Running homebrew applications on the Nintendo DS is legal, this article expands one of several methods listed in Nintendo_DS_homebrew#Booting_tools and as such is both relevant and of interest and so should be retained. The user asking for this deletion has also asked for the PassMe and WiFiMe articles to be deleted on the same grounds even though those are more generic. It would be perverse to delete this article because it contained too much information.

replies: text: "google it" should not be used in a AfD, that does not qualify as "significant coverage". Futhermore, a creators page is just that, the creators page. Millions of things have websites, does that make them notable enough for wikipedia? Not all of them. Creators page is a primary source, which is okay as an external link, but not to cite that article, as the creator can make up whatever he feels like putting on the page.

Talk:Canon EF 28-135mm lens

message: This lens is not a dedicated "macro" lens.
Canon boasts "macro-like capability" on some lenses (this one of the Canon EF 24-105mm f/4L IS lens), but they are no capable of reproduction nearing 1:1, or even 1:2 (more like 1:4). That they can accept macro lenses is irrelevant, or all lenses are "macro". 
Besides, Template:Infobox photographic lenses says "1:10...1:2 for non-macro lenses, 1:2...1:1 for macro lenses, 1:1...5:1 for magnifier lenses", so by this standard, the "macroness" of even the f/2.5 Compact Macro is disputable. The Canon EF 28-135mm lens is a much clearer case. Don't mix up technical terms with advertieing propaganda. Rama 20:13, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

message: QC issues, perhaps?  I find the results from the 28-135 IS perfectly usable wide open throughout its zoom range, with a nice sharpening stopping down to f/8.  f/11 @ 135mm is not necessary for this lens.

Talk:Ben Bowyang

message: Alex Gurney's two larrikin soldiers were 'Bluey and Curly', and the strip first appeared in 'Smith's Weekly' during WWII. The strip continued with the two men as civilians, in a variety of jobs and settings.
Ben Bowyang is a tall, craggy farmer from Gunn's Gully, and his bearded, barrel-shaped side-kick is Ben Smith. The character was indeed created by C.J. Dennis,  but Gurney was only one of several artists during the long life of the strip, which since 1969 was drawn by Peter 'G'Day' Russell-Clarke.
Also during the 1940s by someone called 'McRae'.

Talk:Interstate 195

message: As someone who grew up in Delaware, I find the description of I-195 as "a proposed portion of I-95 in Delaware, while under construction" to be confusing. It should be clarified to indicate that this was only considered for use during the 1978-1980 construction. As it currently written, one could think it could be used as such at present. When I first saw this, I was wondering if I had missed something the last time I was there (in early April 2024). I notice that the corresponding page for I-395 has "a proposed portion of I-95 in Delaware, when it was under construction". That's a little better, but it's still confusing, because the same stretch of road was under construction in the early 2000s and neither I-195 or I-395 were considered then. And what about when it is under construction in the future? Please add some clarification. 57.140.108.31 (talk) 22:23, 26 April 2024 (UTC)
