replies: text: the source was misrepresented. Nobody ever claimed that Abu Maʿshar "developed" heliocentrism. The item is properly represented here, it's about speculation that  Seleucus of Seleucia  might have developed heliocentrism, and that this idea might have survived into the 9th century in Arabic translation. Agree it's not relevant here. --dab (𒁳) 09:38, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  removed claim of heliocentrism 

message: The sources cited all agree that Abu Mashar had a "strong sense of the intellectual primacy of Iran", i.e. he was pro-Sassanian and opposed to the Arab supremacism imposed by the Islamic conquest. 
"Persian nationalism" here means pro-Sassanian, pro-Iranian, anti-Arab. It does not mean that his ancestors were from Fars, or that he was "Persian" (as opposed to generic Iranian) by ancestry or descent. 
Balkh was a multi-ethnic cosmopolitan city, and as far as I can tell our sources are silent on Abu Mashar ethnic heritage. 
in short, please report what your source actually states. --dab (𒁳) 20:36, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

message: This reads like an advertisement.
these dilemmas, despite its much more basic capabilities.
Gmax changed all of this.
The accessibility of Gmax and its game packs to the average user meant that, for the first time, users and modders had legitimate access to content creation tools of the same power as those used by game developers and art teams; if the prospective amateur artist had the proper skills to use the tools (a separate matter entirely, but feasible), they could create new models and content every bit as good as that which came with professionally made games.
Can someone please clean this article up? Its like it's advertising gmax. I'm going to remove the "changed all of this" nonsense.

Talk:1990 24 Hours of Le Mans

message: I'm just wondering, how is the car supposed to be listed? During the 1990 Radio Le Mans video there is a brief interview with Kenny Acheson and he is saying that the car broke its gearbox on the warm-up lap. So the car started the warm-up lap, but technically, it did not take the real start, it was parked before the Ford Chicane before the start. There's another shot from the warm-up lap where the car is clearly coasting with no drive through the Porsche Curves and cars behind are actually forced to overtake it.
It's a nitpicky technicality, but I'm just seeking clarification. Vikirad (talk) 08:39, 19 January 2011 (UTC)

Talk:1988 24 Hours of Le Mans

message: This claim has been around for a long time but I have yet to find any convincing evidence that it is true that Peugeot “changed the top speed of this car to reflect a new model”. Since the speed trap which recorded the speeds - and had done so since 1961 - was owned and operated by the ACO, it seems unlikely that Peugeot’s influence would extend to persuading an essentially independent body to change its speed trap readout for that company’s commercial convenience. I realise there has been a reference provided but it provides no authoritative sources (interviews or confirmation from the ACO) and looks rather like hearsay. The speeds recorded by the ACO speed trap can be found here:

Flanker235 (talk) 15:16, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: If Peugeot want to round down the record to the nearest multiple of 5 in their own advertisments nobody is going to stop them. The ACO don't have to change their own official readout from the speed trap for Peugeot to do that. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 16:43, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: I think maybe I didn't make myself clear. The actual recorded speed was 405. It wasn't 407 and rounded down. Furthermore, that "source" cited in the article gives zero evidence that the claim is true or verifiable. Flanker235 (talk) 12:17, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: This article goes into a lot more depth on the subject. HumanBodyPiloter5 (talk) 14:48, 26 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thank you for that article but it doesn't change anything. The speed was recorded at 405 and that is in the ACO records. Peugeot and Dorchy claim they went faster, citing gearing and what "felt" fast but the records show otherwise. Besides, what applies to one car applies to all. In other words, if Peugeot though they were being hard done, it's odd that I can't find anyone else who had anything to say about it, one way or the other. The ACO says 405 and can see no reason to doubt them, much less consider a story that the car really did 407 but the company got the ACO to change it for commercial purposes.

Talk:Super Monkey Ball

message: The gameplay description in the article says that in the Super Monkey Ball series, players control the world by tilting it rather than by controlling the characters themselves. While it is true that the player controls the world by tilting it, the implication that the player does not directly control their character is wrong. Even in the earliest games, players have a small amount of control of the monkey inside the ball. This can be confirmed by the fact that the player is able to control their monkey even in midair, which would not be possible if the only way of controlling the character is by tilting the world. This is a common misconception I see with these games, and I feel the way it's written now is reinforcing it. Should this section be rewritten to remove the implication that the player has no direct control over their character?
Npbeaudette (talk) 17:57, 8 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, this bothers me as well. I agree it should be changed to say that while it is supposed to be perceived as tilting the stage, it technically still moves the monkey and the world titling is just a camera effect.

message: This goes way back but memories stay.  My wife and I started with SCCA in 1960 and became  corner workers  and later Chiefs of flagging and communication, Chicago Region SCCA,Fred and Judy Fiala. Chicago Region SCCA Timing and Scoring, lead by Don and Ruth Nixon, were supplying the timing and scoring for Ford due to the mess that occurred in 1966, when no one knew where any of the car were. I was told that the English team that did that work for the Ford team got totally lost and if fact gave up. That is why the Chicago region team was hired for 1967. Since we were both major officials for all the races at Road America, and by accident I ask Don Nixon since we were going to be in France on vacation and we would like to help if possible.  We would pay our own way and use our VW van for sleeping behind the Ford pits.  It worked out that we arrived in Le Mans and were put to work, My wife Judy to T & S and me to the pit lane with liaison duty and phone duty to the Pit Chief, can't remember his name after all these years.
