Talk:Gus McLaren

message: Hi other contributors. I got sucked in and tried to wikify the article and add references. I still haven't been able to find a reference for his involvement in BCON or the setting up of the Yarraridge pottery. The fact that Betty is selling pottery made from Gus's designs is acknowledged on eBay so I think this is OK to say without having a reference. I'm not sure what Wikipedia policy is about adding a picture from a private collection. Happy to have it removed if it's not appropriate. --Drofe 22:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Petro Kasui Kibe

message: It is unknown as to whether the first kanji character of Peter Kibe's original "Kasui" name was the "katsu" character (symbolising "life"), or the "kawa" character (meaning "river"). If the former, "Kassui" is a possible transliteration into roman letters from the Japanese. The latter is also a possibility, however, and is excluded by this "Kassui" spelling. I think that "Kasui", which is the spelling used by the Jesuits of Japan, is better.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.148.66.203 (talk) 03:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Diffraction from slits

message: Strictly speaking, isn't the "array of narrow slits" problem formulated in Section 1.3 really an 'interference' effect rather than 'diffraction'? The slits are being treated as point sources, and hence there is no massive obstacle that can cause any diffraction. I'm not sure if this distinction between the two phenomena is universally used, so I haven't edited. What do we think?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayimd (talk • contribs) 22:09, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems a little odd to me that this entry doesn't say anything about the effects of irregular gratings.

thread_title:  Adding Extra Information  

message: There's some doubt whether the Wild Colonial Boy was originally about Donahue. The ballad that's certainly about Donahue is "Bold Jack Donahue". At least some authors believe that the subject of  "The Wild Colonial Boy" was a much more obscure bushranger called Jack Doolan, who was killed in 1861, 30 years after Donahue was shot. But if so there's been a deal of hybridisation between Donahue and Doolan ballads.

Donahue was killed on 1 September 1830 both according to other locations in this same article and other sources.  The earlier date is no doubt correct, so how did the 30 September date get there?
