It is possible that some levitation systems might use lasers as part of the control system, to measure vertical or lateral position for example, but that would not dictate that a blue laser, in particular, would need to be used.

message: Hey Jon, I read your article and it looks really good.  I just found a few things you may want to look at (more on mechanics of the paper, not content)
Some of the words/concepts 
in the paper may not be easily understood buy someone with no background in biology/microbiology so maybe more of the terms should be linked.  For example:
link anion exchange which goes to ion-exchange...you could link colorimeter, lipid, polysaccharide and so on just to make it more understandable.  
Also, the internal pyrogen link produces the message "This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the same title. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article."  So maybe you could add a blurb on pyrogens or redirect it.
All the concepts/content looks nice.  Good job!

message: Which suggests an editor is ignorant of computing history.
If the Andrew Project is worthy of an entry in Wikipedia, then Transarc, the commercial home of the Andrew Project (or, more specifically the Andrew File System) is worthy of discussion as well.
An argument could be made that the Transarc entry be merged with the Andrew Project article, or perhaps the OpenAFS article, but suggesting it just be deleted is shortsighted.

thread_title:  Ig 

message: I was looking at this page to figure out partial half lives, and I believe I encountered several calculation errors in the current page. However, I am not an expert in this area so I am not sure if the following is correct. First off, based on the half life, we can calculate the decay constant: 
:\lambda = \frac{\ln 2}{6.48 d} = 0.107 d^{-1}
The decay rates of the individual processes are equal to \lambda  multiplied by their individual percentages, i.e.:
: 0.107 d^{-1} \times 0.981 = 0.105d^{-1} <-- different!
and
: 0.107 d^{-1} \times 0.0187 = 0.002d^{-1}
According to the page on exponential decay, the total decay constant of two independent events is equal to the sum of the individual decay constants. This appears to agree with my results above. Correspondingly, the partial half lives should therefore be:
:t_{1/2} = \frac{\ln 2}{0.105d^{-1}} = 6.6 d
and
:t_{1/2} = \frac{\ln 2}{0.002d^{-1}} = 346 d <-- different!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluskale (talk • contribs) 17:15, 26 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:BRIXMIS

message: The article as it had developed so far did not follow the Wikipedia guidelines on structure and verifiability, it duplicated information, and lacked any feel for what really happened on tour. I have therefore posted my own attempt to remedy these shortcomings, and simply ask that anything which other editors find unacceptable (other than any obvious errors, of course) they raise here, rather than going for wholesale reversion. I have used the citation style with which I am most familiar, for which I apologize, and hope that you will agree to go along with it.Peter Farey (talk) 16:06, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Expansion and rewrite, 27/11/2012 

message: The introduction to the article seems to suggest that "BRIXMIS" in an acronym for "The British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany (BRIXMIS)". The fact that it's all-caps reinforces the suggestion. But I can't work out exactly how they got "BRIXMIS" out of "The British Commanders'-in-Chief Mission to the Soviet Forces in Germany". Is it an acronym for the same term written in another language? Is it merely a random code word? The article ought to mention where the name comes from, at least briefly, preferably in the intro so a person doesn't have to read the whole article, wondering. AnnaGoFast (talk) 06:49, 7 May 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The original title of the Mission appears to have been the "British Commander-in-Chief's Mission to the [Group of] Soviet Forces of Occupation in Germany". According to Geraghty (p.3) this was "instantly shrunk to BRIXMISS and, later, BRIXMIS." That this is a near-acronym seems fairly obvious to me and, given that no reliable source gives any more specific details, I don't really see the need for clarification.Peter Farey (talk) 08:38, 19 May 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Canonical coordinates

message: Suggestion: Most of the material referring to the mathematician's viewpoint on the subject (tangent/cotangent bundles, symplectic manifolds etc) should be scuttled away in hyperlinks or in very brief sections, since none of it is relevant to the overwhelming majority of physicists.

replies: text: While I would agree that the article can be improved and obscures the physical aspects by formalism, all of this formalism is not only useful but even the necessary ingredient for the whole construction to work properly. It is only due to these mathematical manifold aspects that the whole thing works. So the article should consist of two portions, a mathematical background (which definitely must be a bit expanded), followed by a physical interpretation thereof.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.95.170.225 (talk) 20:03, 5 March 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Law and social change

message: I am interested in developing an article looking at the strategy and tactics of social change as practiced by progressive lawyers. The draft I am submitting is based on United States experiences.
Charles Hamilton Houston and Thurgood Marshall of Howard University Law School and the NAACP (later the NAACP Legal Defense Fund) are a very famous pair of social justice advocates who used the courts as their instrument, particularly because their group, African-Americans, lacked political power in the legislatures and executive offices of the states in which legal segregation of public schools by race was carried on. Their most famous court victory, Brown v Bd of Education, set the standard for later attempts.
However, as courts in the United States grew increasingly conservative (see Yale Law Prof. Bruce Ackerman's article, "Transformative Appointments”) the courts have been less and less hospitable to progressive lawyers seeking social change.
A newer generation of lawyers began practicing the art of social change in state and federal legislative contexts, as these bodies grew more progressive, particularly in the 1970s and 1980s when the Voting Rights Act of 1965 began making the franchise more broadly available, resulting in more representative legislatures. They were beaten back by the conservative takeover of the US Congress in 1994. It is not clear that the newly elected Democratic Congress will be significantly more hospitable to such ideas.
That leaves civil society, where some progressive lawyers are beginning to see that they do their best work when supporting nongovernmental organizations that take a hands-on approach to social justice issues, helping them with their needs for legal structure, contracting, and tax advice.

message: Hi Mange01 (and other editors). Re: your recent edit, I don't think we need to state dBm in the third equation - it's artificially restrictive. Decibels are, by their nature, a relative measurement, with dBm being one possible reference point to make them absolute. I think that when a ratio of two figures is given in dB, it is understood that they should be relative to the same reference. That's part of the beauty of dB - they easily adjust to whatever scale is convenient. For example, when I measure a ratio on the Network analyser, I use an arbitrary reference to keep the plot on screen. Provided that I make both measurements of the ratio to the same reference, it doesn't affect the end result. Would you agree? GyroMagician (talk) 11:55, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Lens coupled, because back in the thirties or forties" one might have had a separate, non-coupled rangefinder (you use it to get two images to coincided exactly, it tells you that the distance is X metres, you swivel the lens (or a single lens element) to the X metre setting); whereas with a "(lens-) coupled" rangefinder, as you swivel the lens (element) toward the right distance setting, the two images in the rangefinder gradually coincide.
