thread_title: Personal

message: On Gaines' deathbed,his wife honored his humor by giving Gaines a "Last Tag", which was one of Gaines' favorite strips from MAD Magazine, depicting a dying man tagging his friend from his deathbed, saying "Last Tag" just before dying. Gaines' wife with her tag fulfilled an inside joke and wish held between the two of them.

Talk:USS Constitution

message: how is it that the British ships were able to chase constitution since they were sharing the same winds? Also, my past reading said that the British were unable to kedge, presumably because their boats would have been under fire from constitution. some support is given by the Fischer painting, which shows no British boats out. The situation leads to the same question, how could they close with Constitution in the first place? I think this needs an explicit reference. Humphrey Tribble (talk) 02:29, 29 May 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Accent aigu

message: The article says that Chilperic's verse is well-regarded.  It certainly was not well regarded by Gregory of Tours (though of course he despised the king on other grounds).  More importantly:  as far as I am aware none of Chilperic's verses survive-- so we have no real basis for forming any opinion as to its quality.  A footnote in an English translation of the Historia (Penguin, 1974) says explicitly that "None of the poems of King Chilperic has survived".  I think that unless someone can point to the poems, the sentence stating that they are well-regarded should be deleted.
Mjhrynick (talk) 22:42, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Chilperic's verse 

message: This is in response to Zoe's enquiry at the top of the page.  As far as I know, the only contemporary reference to the King's new letters is in Gregory (v.44), and runs as follows:
Addit autem et litteras litteris nostris, id est w, sicut Graeci habent, ae, the, uui, quarum caracteres hi sunt: Et misit epistulas in universis civitatibus regni sui, ut sic pueri docerentur ac libri antiquitus scripti, planati pomice, rescriberentur.
I think the "w" was an omega, that is to say, a long o, and I suspect that in manuscript (I have never seen one) exemplars of the four characters were to be found in the place where some editor has placed a colon.  Bischoff (Latin Palaeography, Cambridge, 1990, p. 194) seems to say that the first was a circle with a central dot, the second a figure like a psi, the third a figure like our capital Z, and the fourth a triangle, like a big delta.
Perhaps the following would suit in the article:
"Chiperic tried in his kingdom to force the use of four new letters of the alphabet; but his innovations never caught on."
Mjhrynick (talk) 22:54, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  New Letters 

message: It's clear that all, or at least very nearly all of the inormation for this article is taken from Gregory's Historiae. This is problematic, as Gregory had every reason to portray Chilperic in the poorest of lights. At the very least, Gregory's bias should be mentioned.

thread_title:  Negative of cellphone at school 

message: This url shows a different figure for negative externality in production.
https://www.economicsonline.co.uk/market_failures/externalities.html/
Logically, the wiki figure is incorrect. A negative externality in production means that the socially optimal production should be lower and the equilibrium price
should be higher. The figure has all of this backwards. An example to consider is pollution from a factory; negative externality in production. Society would be better
off with less production from the factory with less pollution and a higher price for the factory output.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Opulent1 (talk • contribs) 23:21, 10 May 2022 (UTC)

In addition to needing explanation of preparative ultracentrifuges, this article also needs an explanation of principles of centrifugation, and the Vacuum ultracentrifuge article should probably be merged into it, since the finer separations (analytical or preparative) simply will not work without the vacuum technology (due to heating and resulting convection).
