thread_title:  Reaction scheme wrong? 

message: There has been a novelty pair of black molded balls maybe 2 cm in diameter, which look almost the same; both are dull-surfaced and opaque. One is (I assume) polyurethane, and bounces repeatedly; in each impact, little energy is absorbed. In popular lingo, it's a "super-ball". The other one, however, is said to be composed of polynorbornene, as I recall, and it simply stops dead when dropped onto a massive, hard surface. Even when dropped from two meters, it hardly bounces at all. These might still be available from magic shops. 
Providing that this can be verified, it would make an interesting and perhaps worthwhile addition to the text.

thread_title:  Energy-absorbing polymer? 

message: With respect to the syntheses of the compound from cyclopentadiene and butadiene the naming sounds odd: I expect a name like ethenylnorbornene, indicating the double bound is located exclusively in the substituent. Ethylidene to me means the substituent is double bonded tot the norbornyl skeleton. On the other hand, I cannot exclude a migration of the double bond which would mean the name is correct after all.

message: This was very poorly and misleadingly written as it was.  Please explain why my edit was reverted.
1) "To effect" means "To bring about", while "To affect" means to "To influence."  It's clear that affect here is used in error.
2) The Catellani reaction is obviously related to "transition metal migration", itself very vague, perhaps someone else could improve the phrasing.  Regardless, it's misleading to separate these into two non-contiguous sentences.

Talk:Molonglo River

message: Just wondering what the source on the Yeal-am-bidgee name is? If its a Ngunnawal name it could go in Ngunnawal language Cfitzart 22:52, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've supplied the explanation on the discussion page for Canberra.  Here is an online version of the source where I got the name Yeal-am-Bidgee from: 0/4e782ee652d0db0aca2569de001fb2dd?OpenDocument- open it and search for "Yeal-am-bid-gie" or "Throsby".  As Yeal-am-bidgee is clearly, reliably recorded as the name for the Molonglo River it casts serious doubt on the claim that Kemberra/Kemberry/etc. was a name for the Molonglo River.  As I said on the discussion page for Canberra, for this and other reasons I think the alternative explanation of "Nganbra", being the name for the plain between Mt Ainslie and Black Mountain (views of which were not obscured by heavy development back then), and meaning "hollow between a woman's breasts" becomes very plausible.  And I must say, I reject any sad, prudish arguments that this name is sexist or racist.  It is an "innocent" name and I find it quite poetic and beautiful. 
Must also point out that there is an interesting pattern of the suffix "bidgee" being used for names of rivers of the Canberra region.  We have the "Murrumbidgee" and "Goodradigbee" (which almost certainly has had its letters transposed and was originally "Goodrabidgee"); that the Molonglo followed this trend and was called Yeal-am-bigee makes sense.

Talk:County Route G6 (California)

message: Why is the east-west designation odd? US-101, CA-82, and I-280 are all from San Francisco to San Jose (at least). They run north-south for most of their routes, with only a short east-west route. However, Central, like, CA-237, is a trans-South Bay route running east-west its whole length. ςפקιДИτς 23:42, 26 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Because I can take Central Expressway or US-101 to get to the airport, one is easy-west, one is north-south.  It's odd.  In the valley we basically work off of a "virtual north-south" axis.  This axis is defined by US-101, I-280, and C-82 which are all parallel, as the article says.  Of these 4 parallel roads only 1 is east-west.  Someone in Sunnyvale wishing to go to Palo Alto would be thinking they need to go "North", but if you come up to G6 at the G2-G6 intersection and see "East" and "West" then it is confusing.  It would make more sense to locals if it was labeled "north-south", regardless of how it looks on a map. JakiChan (talk) 02:51, 28 May 2009 (UTC)

There are no sources for this claim.  I personally disagree with it  - Central/alma seems much more 'direct' than 101 or 280 (it passes through downtown palo alto, mt view, and sunnyvale).

Now, I'm not feeling confident enough to do anything to the main text, but I have to ask... is this for real? I don't think I've ever heard of a diesel engine running on LPG before, given that it's basically highly compressed petroleum vapours of an even more volatile and quick-burning nature than gasoline. It seems an ill-fitting choice for a diesel motor. Any LPG-converted engines I've heard tell of before started life as (and tended to remain switchable to) gasoline models, and retained their spark-ignition, lower compression nature (and I would suspect the CR is actually lowered slightly as part of the process, as the converted engine has a lower peak power output afterwards). 77.102.101.220 (talk) 22:20, 16 June 2011 (UTC)
