Talk:Alan Blumlein

message: The explanation of the operation of the ultralinear design (which the article says is "one of Blumlein's greatest innovations") is very bad. It is clouded in murky language to make it sound mysterious and difficult. Yet, in spite of the impressively pseudo-boffin prose, it gets the thing wrong! If he could, I'm fairly certaiin Mr. Blumlein would read this description, chuckle, get out his spectacles and begin to explain how the ultralinear tapped output transformer is actually connected. He would then go on to reveal the difference between a triode, a tetrode, and a pentode and the impact of the screen grid tap on negative feedback. In the process, he would probably draw a precise schematic of the thing. Surely this isn't too much to ask Wikipedia to do, given Blumlein's gigantic contributions to modern technological life!--CoolBlueGlow (talk) 12:56, 4 April 2012 (UTC)

4.249.198.186 (talk) 19:49, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Service direction 

message: In the present article is a note about Butler service being a variation on Silver Service
> In butler service, the diner helps himself from a serving plate held by the waiter (butler). Traditionally, this type of service was used on Sunday evenings, when the waiting staff had the evening off and the butler helped out at dinner.[citation needed] 
That all makes sense and I can see that reduce the serving staff to one would change the style of serving.  However, this paragraph goes on to say:
> In France, this kind of service is known as service à la francaise ("French service").[4]
This does not agree with the main article on [Service_à_la_française] which states; that food is already at the table when the dinners are seated, and that dinners help themselves.  Some of the reference material points out that the Butler is bringing the food to the table (possibly in a sequence as with Silver and [Service_à_la_russe]) in an order to keep it at the appropriate temperature.  
Now it could well be that Butler Service is a variation of either Siver or French; where all the courses arrive in sequence or at once.  The section describing this could be improved to reflect that if this is the case.

Talk:EMD Dash 2

message: And what, pray tell, are the "obvious advantages" of 12 cylinders over 16? I could hazard guesses ranging from lower friction to less space taken up to lower initial cost, but it really doesn't pay to assume something like that will be "obvious" to the reader.

Further, as an engineer (of neither locomotives nor ICEs,) I'm sure the V12 vs V16 decision is a matter of tradeoffs.

Talk:Euparkeria

message: maybe a preciosity, but wouldn't be more adequate to say that bipedalism was retained in crocodylomorphs than in crocodilians, since the latter is a narrower group, and the contingent group already contains some bipedal croc-likes?

thread_title:  retention of bipedalism 

message: Broom (1913) discovered the first strong evidence to support a thecodont origin for birds when he described Euparkeria as ancestral not only to birds but also to dinosaurs (Feduccia, 1996). Dingus and Rowe (1998) say that Euparkeria has long reigned as the most important discovery of the twentieth century in terms of archosaur evolution and the origin of birds. The theory that birds evolved with dinosaurs from thecodonts like Euparkeria is supported by the homological study of Tarsitano and Hecht (1980) and the changing views on the origin of appendages discussed by Laurin (2006).

Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2005-08-29/Roll with the changes

message: While I think Wikitruth might be overdoing the paranoia a tad, they've brought up something I'm unsure of. Is it really not a vote? If so, why do people write Keep or Delete at all? Seems like a vote... if it's not, we really should emphasize the consensus concept. In this, wouldn't the debate only end when every single person involved has changed their vote to delete? I've had some articles deleted before when I made good arguments for why they should stay around.
There is always a way to reach a stubborn person, by explaining things to them. They will no longer make the mistake, and also serve to enforce that type of informing others so the person who explains once will have in effect explained hundreds of times. So, what actually resolves the VfD/AfD? I never actually looked into it, I assume a mod or something looks at the discussion and decides? Might they be influenced by just counting the numbers? I certainly would feel the urge to count it up. Even if you ignore irrelevant or unsupported opinions, that doesn't really broach a consensus. I'd only ignore a voice if they stopped contributing to the debate. Tyciol 19:48, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Five Canadian SW900s were built after regular production had ended. The last SW900  built by GMD in March 1969 was BC Hydro #911. All Candian SW900s were built by GMD, not EMD. See A J Kristopans website here for GMD built diesel locomotives:
http://community-2.webtv.net/ajkristopans/GENERALMOTORSDIESEL/ --SSW9389 (talk) 23:56, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

message: You are missing a few SW900's, I'm afraid... Firstly, Alabama By-products 900 from 8/56. Then, more that are true SW900's, but were built before EMD changed their policy regarding trade-ins and serials. Up to very early 1957, a unit built with a trade in (7500 series order number) kept the serial of the trade-in, after that, a new serial was assigned. This affected E8's, a few F7's, and a small number of switchers. The 18 SW900's in question are as follows EMD PRODUCT REFERENCE DATA:
Steelton & Highspire 21, 27 10/56, 9/55
Northern Pacific 100 1/57
Great Lakes Steel 6-7 8/56
Lehigh Valley 120,122,124,126,127 10/55,9/56,5/55,7/56,5/56
Philadelphia Bethlehem & New England 51-52 11/55
Reading 10-15 4,7,1,5,8,6/56
Also, note should be made of the SW900's built with trade-ins that were rated at 660 hp because of reusing the main generator of the traded-in Winton. Why not just classify them as SW600's? Because they had an 8 cylinder motor. A waste, for sure.. Anyway, these are Lehigh Valley 106, 107, 110, Reading 10-15, Rock island 550-563.
Another small matter - Grand Trunk Western 7225-7226 were originally Grand Trunk (Eastern) - Lines in Maine.
Lastly, the Reading Baldwins mentioned were VO1000's that were re-engined by EMD (8500 order numbers) with 1200 hp motors and renumbered 2701-2714.

replies: text: One issue I think you ignore: in academia, among experts, people are used to having their ideas critiqued, taken down, ripped apart from all angles.  I expect my colleagues to do this to my arguments, to my papers, to my presentations, if they don't, the whole scientific community will.  However, often on Wikipedia, asking a question leads to hostility.  Why did you change A to B gets angry responses like, "I don't like the tone of your question," "it's from a scholarly source."  What, if you quote a scholar out of context, it's legite because it's a scholarly source?   Academic experts don't worship each other, respect is earned, and must be maintained.  No science is static and unopen to being questioned.  It's not all about the expert's expectations, also it's also about Wikipedia editors who consider that anyone who asks them why they said something in an article is challenging their humanity.
