Talk:Wilhelm Ostwald

message: Does anyone have a reference re. him being buried in Riga now and when that may have happened? All biographies I looked up say that he's buried in Großbothen (Germany) near his house. There are photos of a family grave in Riga, with what looks like a memorial plaque for Wilhelm Ostwald, so I think this should be clarified and referenced. Or maybe it's a misunderstanding, so it should be removed from the article?
See for example

message: Where can I read up on Ostwald's color scheme?   It appears to have some connection with the way Commodore Business Machines modified their proprietary ASCII scheme (being originally colorless, as was the case with their PET series of computers) with PETASCII color codes $05 (white, being displayed as a CTRL E symbol in quote mode) and $90 (black, being displayed as a CTRL P symbol in quote mode), and several other colors for their Vic 20 computer.   Does this kind of information belong in Wikipedia?
The 1988 edition of Collier's Encyclopedia has an article on color, including a picture of the "Ostwald Color System" that appears to attempt to define all colors according to a "color tree" (looking a lot like an upside down funnel) to which small hexagonal-cum-trapezoidal chips were attached.    It looks like about a thousand such chips were fixed to the funnel.   I have no idea how Ostwald came up with his "color tree" short of using a lot of empirical evidence, and asking volunteers or subjects whether they could distinguish a particular color or not.   I would guess that the chips could be distinguished chemically, but hard to distinguish with the human eye.
The main page of the article on Ostwald could be improved by supplying a full color picture of the Ostwald "color tree."  216.99.198.145 (talk) 21:12, 9 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Tindouf Province

message: As amusing as it is to see an article about an Algerian province be largely about the Western Saharan obsessions of some activists, a note on accuracy. I am unaware that there is reliable 3rd party data (and I mean proper stastical survey data) backing up literacy and similar socio-economic claims put forth by Polisario, and repeated here more or less verbatim. While these claims may be true, unless there are such data, it would be best to phrase the statements as "Party X indicates" or "Party X claims" collounsbury 15:44, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi there. Agree that the refugee info should be located at "Sahrawi refugee camps" or "Tindouf refugee camps" or something like that. It was originally found at Tindouf, the city, and I moved it from there to here, which is better. But please feel free to move it to a new page, I'm just too lazy to go through the hassle. You're obviously correct about statistics, will rephrase as you suggested. Arre 18:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Meh, did some of it, added lots of sources (mainly WFP and such), plus minor reorganization. Also a little bit more on the background & history of the Algerian province, plus a chapter on the population numbers debate, which was entirely missing. This needs more work both for POV (mainly attributing, as you suggested) and for readability. But most of all it just needs sources to document claims. Either way I don't have time for much more right now. Arre 20:03, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

I know this varies a lot depending on the location, but from my point of view it is not a "chocolate bar" since it practically has no chocolate.

Lots of reliable sources credit Just and Hanaman of developing and patenting the first tungsten filament light bulb, more efficient than preceding carbon filament bulbs, but too fragile for practical use, so they were replaced by ductile drawn tungsten filaments invented by Coolidge in 1910 and sold in 1911. They also were the first to produce pure tungsten powder. The first name is also spelled "Alexander" in some references.

Talk:1st Cavalry Army

message: I'm pretty sure this isn't the case - I read only yesterday (Richard Pipes, "Russia under the Bolshevik Regime") that he "hated" the Cossacks, being, in fact, an "innogorodets" (immigrant to Cossackdom from another town - in his case, Voronezh). The "hate" bit may or may not be true, of course, I don't buy absolutely everything Pipes says. The Wiki article on SB also has him down as an "innogorodets", and not a Cossack, though. Dislike of the Cossacks would be logical, "immigrants" were treated pretty haughtily, at best, by them. More details of the make-up of the Konnarmiya ranks and file would be interesting, though. The impression you get from Babel (vital reading on this subject, and also brilliant literature) is that they were mainly younger (Don and Kuban?) Cossacks, other sources also mention this, the point being that they were disaffected and "radicalized", due to their experiences during WWI; but there were plenty of Cossack units fighting for the Whites alongside Denikin and Wrangel, among others.

I wouldn't use the possessive when translating "Kadıköy" (eg: Willow's Creek/Willow Creek); doesn't 'kadı' refer to an Islamic judge (as apposed to a 'yargıç')?   My Turkish isn't all that well honed.--Mavigogun (talk) 14:30, 1 July 2010 (UTC)
