Talk:Penny Black VR official

message: The above searches yield a single result of this book: A catalogue of British, colonial, & foreign postage stamps, by a collector. For the avoidance of doubt, this is a trivial mention. The web site of the catalog mentioned in the article gives no results. However, even if the VR official is mentioned in 2 catalogs, that would almost certainly be  insufficient for WP:N, which requires multiple non-trivial mentions. Addhoc 14:26, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Dude, I have the *physical printed catalog* sitting eight feet away from me, and have personally confirmed that the content in this article is a good representation of the full page of material that is in the catalog. Why should I care what lame crud you can or cannot find online? Show me a policy that says only online material is accepted as references. In any case, WP:N is just a guideline, meaning that when an expert philatelist says you don't know what you're talking about, you accept his word for it. (Funny, on the mailing list, we were just discussing the spreading misuse of WP:N - now I have my personal anecdate.) Stan 03:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I have just read WP:N and unfortunately it does leave itself open to misuse as it is impossible to define an acceptable reference, especially in a specialist field like philately.  Even so, I have seen this particular user engaging in this sort of activity elsewhere on the site and receiving a similar response.  I could understand his position if the article had no references listed because then he could justifiably place a tag there, but to try and disqualify a source he knows nothing about is frankly timewasting. --GeorgeWilliams 10:25, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

message: FYI: I was just reading through the bill myself and here is § 203 (c):
Now, as far as (i), (iii), and (iv), everything is under control in WP. As far as (ii), it will be iffy as to the extent to which the "detailed personal information" part is construed. Yes, user pages can be made, but really, policy states that it's really meant to be just for the project and other people look down upon making the page into a blog-like atmosphere. And (v) is obviously there, but communication is to better the project, not to solicit other people's personal lives (although it could potentially be used to do that). └Jared┘┌talk┐  03:45, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:USS Glenard P. Lipscomb

message: If this vessel isn't a part of any class of submarine, and is a one-off, unique model, it should say so more clearly. I leave the article thinking "so I guess, if I interpret what was said correctly, it was a unique vessel". What does "similar to the Sturgeon class" mean? That its identical in hull but has different machinery? You could just as easily say that it's 'similar' to the LA class. They are all roughly shaped the same and laid out the same. According to the profiles in this book beside me, the Lipscomb is significantly longer and more slender than the Sturgeon, much closer to the appearance of the LA class, although all three have the same basic lines. It should say somewhere "the Glenard P. Lipscomb was a class of one vessel, similar to the preceding Sturgeon class and the succeeding Los Angeles class" so the reader doesn't have to sift through clues in the text.

message: (However, during early dock side testing severe leaks in the superheaters in Seawolf's sodium cooled reactor plant had required the superheaters to be bypassed and made in-operable. Seawolf operated with out the superheaters for the rest of the time she had a sodium cooled reactor plant. When Seawolf's reactor's fuel was depleted, (ADM Rickover had planned all along to standardize submarine reactor power plants.  He had ordered 3 of each type of reactor plants, sodium cooled and pressurized water cooled (PWR).  S1W (A PWR)was the prototype for the USS Nautilus. S2W was installed in  Nautilus.  S3W was a spare plant.  S1G (A sodium cooled plant) was the prototype for Seawolf.  S2G was installed in Seawolf.  S3G was a spare plant. After the problems with the superheaters in Seawolf, ADM Rickover decided on the PWR plant that was used in Nautilus as the standardized plant and to this day all US Submarines have PWR power plants.).
There's some good content there, but it's poorly constructed and inaccurate... For example S3W wasn't the replacement reactor used here, it was S2Wa. S3W was a likely guess but not a good one! I'll try to put some of this back as I verify it, but meantime I think the article is better off without it. Andrewa 03:54, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

The "SF" classification didn't last very long; all the V-boats carried it during the design phase but only the s (first commissioned in 1924) and Argonaut (commissioned 1928) were commissioned with it.
