Talk:Libertarian Party (United States)

message: Alright guys, we need some consensus on what the position should be. It is more reliable and more easily understandable if we include one. I propose:
Syncretic
Fiscal: Right-wing
Social: Left-wing
I shall explain this: On economic issues the party is for lower spending and taxation. This would match fiscal conservatism. On social issues the party is for legalisation of anything immoral but not hurting other people. I would like to see further changes to this model and the eventual implementation of such similar.

Talk:Ford Escort

message: This article concentrates mostly on the British and European Escort.  I have interspersed some stuff about the American version, but it seems like the timeline between the two  is not very closely related, and the American and European versions do not actually share that many parts.  I do not know how to fix this; it seems like a lot of work to separate the two timelines completely. Interspersing the American and European changes also seems messy and confusing. Being a "World Car" versions were also being sold in Australia and Asia. The American Escort is still being made with the 2005 Escort ZX2 , while the European model was killed in 2000. I'm not sure what to do, so please help if you can.– PlatinumX 20:47, 15 Jul 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: The "World car"

message: I think it might be good to have a reference to where each of the various models were built.... but I only have part of that info.  Maybe we can share?
First version -- Wayne, Michigan; Edison, New Jersey; Saarlouis, Germany; can't remember whether the UK plant was Dagenham or Halewood.
Second NA version -- Wayne, Michigan and Hermosillo, Mexico...
Wayne remained an Escort plant until the Focus was introduced.  I believe the ZX2 stayed on in Hermosillo....
I know the Saarlouis plant built Escort through the mid-90s, probably stayed until the European end.  UK plants I lost track of, except that I know Halewood is a Jaguar facility now.--Pmeisel 13:28, 20 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Lightbulb joke

message: The psychiatrist joke punchline, as currently written (None - The light bulb has to want to change), makes no sense.
The punchline, as I've heard it, is:
"Only one, but the lightbulb must really want to change"
PhiDeck (talk) 18:39, 25 December 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are a few "How many... to change? / None." jokes, such as "store clerk / none, they can't even change a $5 bill" and "babysitter / none, they can't even change a soiled diaper". All are puns on the word "change". K7L (talk) 19:24, 15 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  How many Psychiatrists joke not right 

message: I first heard the story sometime in the early 1970s, not as a joke but as serious commentary about the Indian caste system. The story was allegedly told by a Western traveler who had visited an Indian hotel. A total of around five men came to his room to change the light bulb; each of them representing a different caste. One man could not do all tasks, as it would include work reserved for a different caste. If I remember correctly the roles were as follows:
# A man to change the bulb (electrician caste)
# A man to carry ladders (porter caste)
# A man to clean the dust of the lamp before the bulb change (cleaning caste)
# A man representing hotel management
# A Brahmin to communicate with the White foreigner
There may also have been a sixth man to serve as an interpreter in case the Brahmin in question did not speak English. 
I have been looking for the original story for about 20 years, so far I have not come across it. -- Petri Krohn (talk) 03:19, 2 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Possible origin: Indian caste system 

message: The article should include some of the more well-known "meta" variants of the joke, such as "Q: How many feminists does it take to change a lightbulb? A: That's not funny!" or "Q: How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb? A: Two, one to hold the giraffe, and the other to fill the bathtub with brightly colored machine tools." etc. etc... AnonMoos (talk) 00:04, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

message: A few days ago I added the German version of the lightbulb joke (which is told about East Frisians). An editor added "citation needed."

They were removed with the comment: "Reverted 1 edit by Mbshu (talk): Such references (wikipedia pages an simple joke lists) not allowed in englisch [sic] wikipedia."

Talk:Viola

message: I've been bold and changed the range of the image. No reliable source said that viola can comfortablely go up to d7, and multiple sources mentioned E6 or G6.    QiuLiming1 (talk) 20:50, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  My edit to the range image 

message: I was looking for info on viola tuning and white reading my copy of The Study Orchestration by Samuel Adler (039397572X) I came across the passage that is the source for this paragraph on page 41: The tuning C–G–D–A is used for the great majority of all viola music. However, other tunings are occasionally employed, both in classical music, where the technique is known as scordatura, and in some folk styles. Mozart, in his Sinfonia Concertante for Violin, Viola and Orchestra in E♭, wrote the viola part in D major, and specified that the violist raises the strings in pitch by a semitone. He probably intended to give the viola a brighter tone so the rest of the ensemble wouldn't overpower it.

thread_title: Pictures in subarticles

message: Check out this quote from Chapter 1 of "Destination Moon":
In the wake of early Soviet space achievements the American space program became enveloped in far-reaching political competition with the Soviet Union. In this atmosphere, the United States counted heavily on the Ranger and Surveyor programs, pioneering endeavors in the application of new technology, to achieve an urgently needed "first" in space. Given that (and numerous other easily findable and verifiable sources), should some mention be made of the Soviet program that paralleled Surveyor? Sdsds 06:32, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Space Race context 

message: "the world's first controlled landing on the Moon (the Luna 9 probe, which landed several months earlier, had used inflatable airbags to bounce to a stop on the Lunar surface"
Luna 9 was "controlled" by any definition of the term. Luna landed at 6 m/s, compared to 3 m/s for Surveyor. Luna used air bags to soak up remaining momentum, Surveyor used landing pads and shock absorbers. This statement is nothing more than playing with the terminology to claim a "first". It's misleading and should be removed. Maury Markowitz (talk) 12:40, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Philippe II, Duke of Orléans

message: I understand the trimming down of some articles; however, I do not agree with the removal of many of the titles for this Philippe d'Orléans: 
*"Let's leave only the principal title here, 'cause all the predecessors and successors are the same."
Why have a space for "Titles" if most of the titles will not appear? 
It may sound repetitive to an habitué Wikipedian editor, but not to the external reader who may want to check only the article on this particular Duke of Orléans, and who will not be given the totally of the titles born by the various dukes. 
Unless I am blind, I can see nowhere in the article any list of his titles, and consider this removal to be an amputation of important details.

Talk:1 terametre

message: a
What is the actual diameter of Betelgeuse ? In the article 1e12 metres I see: 1200 million km; but the Betelgeuse article mentions this:
:290 million km -- 1.9 AU -- Minimum diameter of Betelgeuse 
:480 million km -- 3.2 AU -- Maximum diameter of Betelgeuse 
and these numbers are also copied in 1e11 metres. In  the NASA makes a claim that is compatible with the first measure, not the last ones: If placed at the center of our Solar System, it would extend past the orbit of Jupiter. I'm not an astronomer, so I can't tell which is true. -- FvdP 12:33 Sep 4, 2002 (PDT)
Encyclopedia Britannica claims
:its diameter varies between 430 and 625 times the diameter of the Sun over a period of 5.8 years. 
I don't have time to convert right now, but if this agrees with NASA, we should follow those numbers. AxelBoldt 12:37 Sep 4, 2002 (PDT)
If diameter(Sun) = 1 400 000 km then this 430..625 factor yields for the diameter of Betelgeuse: between 602 and 875 million km. The numbers in Betelgeuse might then be about the radius (but why ?). OTOH, the orbital radius of Jupiter is 780 million km according to Jupiter (planet) so the orbital diameter is 1500 million km. That does not fit NASA's claim. -- FvdP 13:03 Sep 4, 2002 (PDT)
In http://einstein.stcloudstate.edu/Dome/constellns/betelgeuse.html they say "The diameter of the star is about 650 times the diameter of the sun [...] the diameter of the star may vary as much as 60%.". This seems to be using 1978 data.
In http://www.gb.nrao.edu/~rmaddale/Education/OrionTourCenter/betelgeuse.html "Diameter  700 Million miles".
A trustworthy reference seems to be http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/cfa/ep/pressrel/betel97.htm with "Its diameter, based on the new distances recently reported by the European Space Agency satellite HIPPARCOS, is about 1500 times the diameter of our Sun." But that was 1997, maybe the estimates have changed since? AxelBoldt
The header of the article states that the page talks about magnitudes of 1,000 billions kms, when the list below start with approx. 1,000 millions kms. Not being an english native, I suspect this has to do with mixing american and english usages of the words "million" and "billion". I do not know the correct answer, could someone disambiguate ?
