Portal talk:Bulgaria

message: Wikipedia:WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018.
Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, and design the portals of the future.
As of April 29th, membership is at 56 editors, and growing.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for each component of portals.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

message: Article selection criteria for the portal from Portal:Bulgaria/Selected article:
Feel free to add featured or top/high importance articles to the list above. Other articles may be nominated here.
Per a lack of many recognized content articles (FA- and GA-class) available at this time, in my view it is best that additional non-FA/GA articles that are well developed are added, to round-out the portal to provide a more comprehensive topical overview. Of note is that many article assessments on talk pages are out-of-date. For example, sometimes a well-developed article that is clearly B-class is innacurately denoted as still being a stub.

File talk:Hubbert world 2004.png

message: This is now about 5 years out of date.  While I am sure the worldwide economic downturn of recent years is of concern for any graph such as this, it would be nice to see an updated figure.  Further, I think that this graph is stymied by the omission of OPEC, any new image purporting to represent "World" oil production should include Saudi Arabia, etc. Kjsharke (talk) 02:58, 19 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Now 6 years out of date. Is the "peak" reached yet on a newer graph, or the peak was caused by lower consumption/economic reasons? Patcat88 (talk) 15:58, 4 May 2010 (UTC)

Also, the link for the graphic appears to be broken. Crubins 11:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I don't disagree with the theory of peak oil, however is it really peak oil when all the countries peak at exactly the same time?  each country has different levels of untapped oil.  I don't understand how the oil productions of different countries could appear to be this well corelated.  It seem more likely that there was some other force causing this peaking behavior. for instance, a cartel behavior among oil companies collectively agreeing to drive up the price of oil by cutting production and at the same time taking oil refineries offline to fed the 911/Iraq war oil spectulators into a frenzy to drive up the price...
:It's a contrived graph.  First, it (supposedly) shows actual production or contribution to the world market, NOT capacity, much less availability.  Second, because it's a cumulative graph, if the product of a few large sources goes down, the entire graph will trend down.  Third, was it a tactical maneuver to leave off OPEC and Russia?  It smells like a typical case of data manipulation to acheive the desired end result.  If you stop the chart just after the 1971 "Rest-USA" peak (73-74?), it would have also appeared as a worldwide peak, when clearly it was not.  The graph offers no explanation for WHY the levels might fall off.  Some suppliers could have political or technical difficulty maintaining production levels.  In the US, there are many areas where traditional pumping techniques will no longer yield oil and forcing more oil from those wells isn't worth the cost, yet.  The point is, "Peak Oil" is supposed to be about availability, not actual output, and this chart shows only output.

Talk:Lord high commissioner

message: fastifex adds references to the Ionian Islands and links to High Commissioner.  
I removed this as even with Fastifex additions the article is 99% Scottish.  Perhaps the Ioanian references are best High Commissioner.
Lord High Commissioner is in this article for the representatives of the Monarch to the Parliament and church in Scotland. The Ionian references are to a diplomatic post to foreign powers. 
The use of the term Hign Commissioner for the Ioanian Islands falls more within the special use of the term in the British Commonwealth, (i.e. Commonwealth realm government to Commonwealth realm government or even Commonwealth realm to Commonwealth republic) for external representatives rather than representative to domestics bodies. garryq 12:15, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

When I got him he was in a cage for 4 years, now he laughs alot has stopped biting me and we're working on tricks without books to help me. Is he too spoiled? He's so happy and fun loving but not a morning person. Things I've read says what I'm doing isn't right, if this is true "what is the right thing?" His name is Evan and he calls me momma. It took me over a month for the two of us to trust each other wholeheartedly but we've bonded and I'm loving every moment of it,oh he also loves riding in the golf cart, singing,dancing, showing off, I find this is by far the best new family member I have ever had.

Talk:Howell torpedo

message: This was the original:
:"The 'Howell' torpedo was an 14 or 18 inch torpedo, with an explosive payload of 100 or 180 lb respectively. Howell was built in the USA, and became the major torpedo of the American Navy for 20 years. Interestingly it was powered by a heavy flywheel, which was spun before launch and powered the torpedo while in the water. The flywheel spun at 12,000 RPM had enough power to drive the torpedo for 800 yards (~730m) at 30 knots (~56 km/h). 
::== Design ==
:"The "Howell" had two main advantages, apart from its simplicity, over the previous whitehead torpedo. Unlike a torpedo powered by compressed air, it left no bubbletrail and therefore was much more harder to detect. Secondly it kept a straight course with the help of an gyroscopic system attached to the flywheel that compensated trim changes."
