Talk:Middletown High School North

message: 55% attend a four-year college or university after graduation?  It sounds misleading, and it's also not cited.  There are statistics for this published on the Internet: http://education.state.nj.us/rc/rc06/dataselect.php?c=25;d=3160;s=050;lt=CD;st=CD&datasection=all
So that should be cited.  And I'd consider replacing that 55% statistic with the data presented on the above link, that 89% of 2006 graduates intended to attend either a two-year or four-year university (it splits 41% four-year, 48% two-year, and I think that's how this data is typically presented to the public).  It sounds better.
which school are you talking above here^?
and i would like to say that south is a worse school behavier wise becasue most of the kids do drugs drink like crazy, rather at north not so much i mean every school has it but south is full of it becasue the kids are rich and the parents do not care.
north may not be as strong as south book wise, but there is less drama, but everyone is different and check it out with your kids to see.(Newyorkcityy (talk) 13:03, 24 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Extra source 

message: Most films at the time were 3 minutes long or less. This 7 minute length seems to come from a 1996 London Observer article, perhaps mistranslated: Technician Daniel Courbet had never seen a reel in such bad condition. "I am sending this to be restored," he said. "If it sits any longer in its box, it will turn to treacle. That is what happens to nitrate film." He estimated that the film's length had been seven to eight minutes. https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-salina-journal/2525738/
A 1914 source lists it at 66 meters long, which was typically about 2 minutes per projection speeds at the time. https://lantern.mediahist.org/catalog/cinejournalmarap07gdur_0741 J. J. (talk) 18:29, 27 February 2024 (UTC)

From the WP article on author citation:
:"If the same surname is common to more than one author, initials are sometimes given" but "not all animal groups / databases use this convention" and "it should be noted that in the examples given in the Code and also the ICZN Official Lists and Indexes, initials are not used".

message: While a boiler plate rationale could be given, I am going to let this be deleted since it serves primarily as decoration.  I.e. there is no specific commentary on the cover itself.  Eluchil404 01:13, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree, the cover in an infobox is useful to identify the novel.  And who's to say that critical commentary won't be added?  Wikipedia is a work in progress; just because something isn't perfect now doesn't mean it should be summarily removed.  I've added a fair-use rationale - as I firmly believe that this qualifies as fair-use - but if you feel strongly it should be deleted you can nominate it later. Kweeket 01:09, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
Category talk:Mexico–United States relations

message: I find the name "Category: Mexican-American relations" confusing for two reasons:
1) The term "Mexican-American" usually refers to people of Mexican background or ancestry who live in the United States.
2) Once you understand that the category is about foreign relations between Mexico and "America," the meaning of "America" remains ambiguous (all the Americas, or just the United States?).
For both reasons, I would find it simpler and less ambiguous to rename this article "Category: Mexico-United States relations".  --Potosino 01:18, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text:  Isn't it late eighteenth century? Partington gives a date of 1790. His reference to the seventeenth century was, as I saw it, a reference to the technology itself.

text:  Without some more scrutiny of this from Needham, I would say that this does more to make Needham look incredible than to make Chao I look credible. Anyway, Needham does not say specifically here that the actual formula Chao I gives is historically correct, only that he believes "gunpowder" was actually employed by Wei Hsing. Can you post the relevant sections from ch. 30 and ch. 5? Thanks, Ocanter 17:31, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Gunpowder/Archive 9

message: In terms of Chinese gunpowder technology in the 1st half of the 14th century, I believe this part of the Huolongjing article should be of particular interest here. 
From an illustration and description in the Huolongjing is the oldest known multistage rocket; this was the 'fire–dragon issuing from the water' (huo long chu shui), used mostly by the Chinese navy.[64] It was a two–stage rocket that had carrier or booster rockets that would eventually burn out, yet before they did they automatically ignited a number of smaller rocket arrows that were shot out of the front end of the missile, which was shaped like a dragon's head with an open mouth.[64] This multi–stage rocket may be considered the ancestor to the modern exocet.[64] Needham points out that the written material and depicted illustration of this rocket come from the oldest stratum of the Huolongjing, which can be dated roughly 1300–1350 AD (from the book's part 1, chapter 3, page 23).[64]
: You're right; it is of particular interest here. Marcus Graecus has a gunpowder rocket in his Liber Ignium, the relevant sections of which are also dateable to roughly 1300. Again, the almost worldwide use of saltpeter, and the refinement of the black powder recipe in Europe show that many cultures were developing gunpowder before the Chinese technology reached its fourteenth-century stage of high-power explosives.

Talk:2007 California's 37th congressional district special election

message: "The district has been historically Democratic, so it came as little surprise when no Republican was able to manage a remotely significant percentage of the vote. The highest-placing Republican, John M. Kanaley, could only put together a meager 2,230 votes, or 7.64% of the total."
Someone is going to have to explain to me what in this paragraph is "inappropriate for an encyclopedia." Encyclopedias often use colorful language so it's not just a stodgy list of facts. See also WP:NOT: "Articles should contain sufficient explanatory text to put statistics within the article in their proper context for a general reader." It is not "biased" to describe 7% as a "meager" amount, or not "a remotely significant percentage." Maybe I'm being accused of bias against single-digit numbers? Anyone? Rowsdower45 01:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not accusing you of "bias against single-digit numbers" nor am I dening that 2,230 votes, or 7.64% of the total is a low amount. All I'm saying is that we don't need to three times use phrases  restating that fact. The numbers are self explanatory, and my text: ("The district has been historically Democratic, so it came as little surprise when the highest-placing Republican, John M. Kanaley, received only 2,230 votes, or 7.64% of the total.") does not remove anything that helps put the facts inclued in the article into context.--Tdl1060 17:07, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

text: O.k.  Roberto Sacasa Sarria (1840–1896) was President of Nicaragua from 1889 to 1891 and again from 1891 to 1893. Sacasa, a member of the Conservative Party, had many problems due to a split within the conservatives. A rebellion by ex-president Joaquín Zavala in 1893 led to liberal Jose Santos Zelaya coming to power, ending 35 years of conservative rule.
Also, Juan Bautista Sacasa (1874-1946) was President of Nicaragua from 1933-1936. Born in the town of León, Sacasa studied in the United States from 1889 to 1901, earning an M.D. from Columbia University. Ogomezsacasa 02:38, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
