Talk:Turbinlite

message: Was the strength of the searchlight 2700 million or 2.7 million candela? This page says "2.7 million candlepower", which is 2.7 million candela. Searchlights today all seem to be in the range of hundreds of thousands to millions of candela, so an airborne searchlight in the 1940s with a strength a thousand times this seems unlikely. Airminded 11:29, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My reference (Green, William. Famous Bombers of the Second World War, 2nd Edition. London: MacDonald & Jane's,1975. .) definitely says 2,700 million candlepower. Whether it's a misprint or not I don't know. Ian Dunster 08:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Whilst the first poster may be right, the Turbinlite's power source was an array of lead-acid accumulators which would allow very high currents to be drawn, (rather like the large current required by the starter motor of a car) the searchlight only being needed to illuminate the bombers for a few minutes at a time. So the large candela figure quoted 2,700 million candlepower may well be correct.  Lead-acid accumulators can provide very-large currents for short periods, which is why they are used for car batteries, and also why diesel-electric submarines use them. In the Turbinlite's case, drawing a high current that might cause reduced battery life would not have been a problem, the batteries could have been replaced as-needed, after each sortie if necessary.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.82.120 (talk) 13:04, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

unsigned
:Following addition of a link from New Wine, I found the article to be in a bit of a state. Most of the text was taken directly from the church's website (hence potential copyvio), which included the note about Francis Close. The only reference which might satisfy notability had been lost, along with the encyclopaedic introduction, the cats and the ref section.
:I have restored much of the content that had been lost since December 2007, and simplified/rewritten the rest. Some facts may, therefore, be out-of-date, as I have used an earlier version of this article and the church's website as a source. The re-write has also allowed removal of the worst aspects of advertising: service times, address details, POV, etc.
:Someone knowledgeable about the church should now take over and polish it further. Great things have been and are happening at this church, and it deserves a decent WP article to reflect this. (It is also worth following-up the articles about Neil Bennetts, since these may provide valuable additional references to support notability claims.)

Talk:Claudia Schmidt (musician)

message: I had to search the Web to realize that it was she (and not the Southerners Robin and Linda Williams) who was the Prairie Home companion responsible for the bit of musical north-country wisdom called "Rock that Sucker". It describes the indirect technique needed for getting a car into motion in several inches of unplowed snow (or in several inches of snow that's tumbled off the plow's artificial snow drift). This art is probably easier to master with a standard, since the "rocking" is more about -- and often entirely about -- alternating between forward and reverse, than about anyone outside rocking the car by  synchronizing pushing and releasing with the a frequency characteristic of the situation. 
I'm not sure if the song is more important as an aspect of technical or musical culture, or of the culture of hibernal pride, but hopefully at least the title will eventually have a place in at least the accompanying article, if no article of its own. --Jerzy•t 17:02, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Colonel Abrams

message: Was Colonel truthfully his real name, or just a stage name? As the two so-called articles profess it to be, whilst his discography tells a completely different story. His name variations on Discogs for credits taken from the actual releases themselves sometimes state "Donald Abrams" (or for short, just "Don Abrams") in the small print on them: http://www.discogs.com/artist/66261-Colonel-Abrams – so it seems rather unlikely that his real name was actually Colonel, despite what some journo's might have in their articles (or even –if one was done– what they may have jokingly been told during an interview with the man himself; artists do like to sometimes spin the truth for whatever reason, usually in jest!).

Talk:Connecticut State Troubadour

message: For 1993-'98, the article showed a 2-year term starting every odd year, and a 1-year one in the following even year (presumably either overlapping with the 2-year one, or reflecting partial completion of the two-year one). However, the citation i've provided on his entry in the table says "Pere was named the official state troubadour for 1995." That suggests that there may never have been any evidence for 2-year terms in that period, and that that insinuation merely reflects an editor's over-interpretation of the statement that terms are two years. Occam's razor and the legislative history i've footnoted -- "June Sp[ecial] Sess[ion] P[ublic] A[ct] [19]99-1 required troubadour to be designated biennially, rather than annually, effective July 1, 1999" -- suggest that someone mistakenly assumed that two-year terms were required since '91. Archeology of the edit history and perhaps of the earlier press releases may show more (e.g., whether one of the incarnations of the commission had authority to institute the State Troubadour or set the term without specific legislative action), but the only evidence at hand conflicts with the "1995-1996" entry and makes 6 years of single-year terms for now the presumable fact.  One possible scenario, tho, is that the terms were much less formal in the first decade, and e.g. that they didn't bother appointing a new troubadour until they had an event in mind, and/or that the usual pattern of the legislature (long session starting early in an even year -- putting greater demands on commission staffs to prepare legislative language, testify, etc. -- following the November legislative elections, and a shorter session in the odd year) somehow led to a pattern of odd-year troubadours serving more than 12 months, and even-year ones serving fewer. --Jerzy•t 23:37, 19 February 2010 (UTC)

"Australians" is not a first class team (although it probably contained the same players as "Australia"). The game was also just two days long, a first-class game has to be at least 3 days.
