Talk:Kanban

message: The history section contains the following paragraph:
The system originates from the simplest visual stock replenishment signaling system, an empty box. This was first developed in the UK factories producing Spitfires during the Second World War, and was known as the “two bin system.” In the late 1940s, Toyota started studying supermarkets with the idea of applying shelf-stocking techniques to the factory floor. In a supermarket, customers generally retrieve what they need at the required time—no more, no less. Furthermore, the supermarket stocks only what it expects to sell in a given time, and customers take only what they need, because future supply is assured. This observation led Toyota to view a process as being a customer of one or more preceding processes and to view the preceding processes as a kind of store.
Questions:
1. There are no sources for this information, in particular the two-bin system _feels_ like it is older than 20th century so I doubt this is the first use of it
2. Two-bin systems are specifically different from Kanban systems - in fact there's a weakness in it. With Kanban the card is sent to signal when the "bin" starts being used, whereas the two-bin signal occurs when the "bin" is empty.
3. If the Kanban concept was influenced by the two-bin system I feel it needs a citation  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.9.192.154 (talk) 06:15, 20 April 2022 (UTC)

Some of the money raised by Sinn Fein in America in 1919-1922 was set aside for the White Cross and it was mentioned occasionally in Dail debates. It has never been written up, partly because some saw it turn into a vote-buying and partisan system, and partly because there would have been no victims if some Sinn Fein supporters had not launched a war in 1919.

Talk:Demetrius III Aniketos

message: IMHO this entry could be removed. KIRK RAPPE, in THE GRECO-BACTRIAN MIRAGE: RECONSTRUCTING A HISTORY OF HELLENISTIC BACTRIA (1982, jan ed of Scientific American)denotes the upper coin to Demetrius I (note the similarity with Antimachus I), and even if I would prefer Demetrius II (as the Indian text suggests), it looks very much like a mid 2nd-century coin, pre-Menandros.
The lower coin's obverse is a low quality replica of the classical elephant helmet coins of Demetrius I, with his (posthumous) title "Aniketos". IIRC it's very rare, and I would rather attribute it to some kind of posthumous release. One must bear in mind that for the later Indo-Greeks Demetrius I might have been a legend well in league with Alexander the Great. Would the contemporaries of a tentative Demetrius III not have interpreted this coin as a pedigree coin of some of commemorative issue, rather than being the currency of a new - rather insignificant - king? Almost all other Indo-Greek kings cared to boast their own achievements and existence on coins (unlike f i the Ptolemies who kept referring to older kings). So: probably a city struck this coin, during some kind of independence in the turmoil of the latter period.
/Sponsianus
----
I am now removing my own old reservations against Demetrius III and replacing them - somewhat ironically - with new ones. But I think my doubts are better voiced this time. The only reason Bopearachchi gives for his dating of Demetrius III is the orientation of the text - a few early bilingual coins (by Antimachus II and Menander I) used another orientation in full circle. Little could be derived from the few mintmarks Demetrius III uses, although Bopearachchi manages to place him in the wrong area, eastern Punjab instead of western Punjab/Gandhara (he shares one mintmark with Lysias, IIRC).
Bopearachchi also gives a candidate for Justin's Indian king Demetrius which IMHO is simply not acceptable, more or less contradicting every single paragraph of the description of his war with Eucratides. I am not saying he is wrong - Justin could certainly be ill-informed - but Justin's Demetrius and Demetrius II in Bopearachchi's book are so obviously mismatched. Is Demetrius III a king who ruled before Menander and fought Eucratides? Possibly not, but IMHO there seems to be enough doubt to mention the uncertainty.
Bopearachchi is of course a cornerstone. But his work is an encyclopaedia, and as in all such there are minor errors.--Sponsianus 14:07, 7 November 2005 (UTC)

I am requesting that an edit be made to the Rotary Tools section of the Dremel Wikipedia article, specifically, that the language, "Similar rotary tools (for example, those sold by Sears under their Craftsman brand) are also sometimes colloquially called dremels in an example of a genericized trademark." be removed from the article.

Also, he stopped the plan of "city urbanization" (demolishing the houses and building blocks of flats instead). Because of this he was appreciated in Sibiu.

Template talk:Portal skeleton

message: It seems to me that the current portal skeleton introduces problems by splitting portals between the Wikipedia and Template namespaces.  At the moment, all the subpages are put into the Template namespace by this skeleton, while the main page is in the Wikipedia namespace.  Also, the main page is at Wikipedia:Wikiportal/(topic), while the subpages are all at Template:(topic) portal/(subpage).  This is all a bit confusing, certainly from an editing point of view, and I think it's not really using templates for what they should be used for.
On the astronomy portal I moved all the pages into the Wikipedia namespace, as it helps navigation via links to higher levels at the top of the page.  Would it be sensible to adjust this skeleton to automatically put the subpages in the Wikipedia namespace?
I know there are unresolved issues as to which namespace portals should go in, but it seems sensible to me to at least have all the parts of a portal in the same namespace. Worldtraveller 11:03, 26 May 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Sunlight

message: Dividing the irradiance of 1050 W/m2 by the size of the Sun's disk in steradians gives an average radiance of 15.4 MW per square metre per steradian. (However, the radiance at the centre of the sun's disk is somewhat higher than the average over the whole disk due to limb darkening.) Multiplying this by π gives an upper limit to the irradiance which can be focused on a surface using mirrors: 48.5 MW/m2.
"Multiplying this by π gives"  <-- Can someone clarify what this is attempting to calculate? It's apparently trying to sum all sunlight that a 1 square meter surface might have directed at it over a solid angle of π steradians. But π steradians isn't any special amount, so I'm not sure what that achieves. An entire sphere encompasses 4 π sr.

replies: text: Well copper is not rhodium is the snarky answer to your very legit question.  Anhydrous RhCl3 and anhydrous CuSO4 are both nonmolecular (=polymers).  The differing rates of their solubilizations reflects the differing strengths of the Rh-Cl vs the Cu-O bonds. Rh(III) is well known to form rugged, inert bonds.  Cu(II) is equally well know to form labile bonds to ligands.  Hydrated rhodium trichloride is something like RhCl3(H2O)3 (I forget), but the Rh centers is not knit together by Rh-Cl-Rh bonds but by weaker, more hydrolyzable hydrogen- and van der Waals bonds.

When NaCl dissolves, ions are the result, not molecules of NaCl.  Things like chlorobenzene and RhCl(PPh3)3 are semi-isolated in the crystal - the solid is clearly consist of discrete, well separated molecules.  Similarly, solutions of these things contain well defined molecules.  We call such species molecular.  Molecular vs nonmolecular is a handy way to classifying compounds: organic and organometallic chem is mainly molecular, salts and refractory solids are nonmolecular.--Smokefoot (talk) 17:26, 13 October 2009 (UTC)
