Now some city's pages have regulated that all templates should be posted on another page, now if that's the case, I understand, if not, the template should remain on the city's page, because the Commonwealth games is a major international event, second only to the Summer Olympic Games.

Talk:Mount Arapiles

message: Arapiles name is from an Spanish hill and village at Salamanca Province. I see that there is another mountain called Arapiles in Australia. The Australia's name of Arapiles came from a British mility that fought against the Napoleon's troop at the Battle of Arapiles. That means that Spain holds the honour of being the source of the name.
As a result I propose to to reserve the term "Arapiles" to the Spanish village. I propose, observing other terms collision in Wikipedia, to create a disambiguation page so both names (The Spanish name and the Australian Name) appear in the list.
If there is a manager of this page. Do you agree to modify it?. I don't have much experience with Wikipedia but I think I needed to leave this notification here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Keenonmaps (talk • contribs) 01:12, 24 February 2010 (UTC)

Talk:St Peter's Roman Catholic Church, Liverpool

message: * Does anyone know where the bodies that were exhumed from the Church vaults went?
Seven monks were reburied at Ampleforth Abbey in 2004. The remaining 15 bodies (14 lay people and that of Fr McDonald, O.S.B.) were all reburied at Ford Cemetery in Liverpool. It was not possible (due to time constraints and lack of clear labelling) to identify the body/coffin belonging to Fr McDonald, and so he did not continue to Ampleforth Abbey like his companion monks.

thread_title: "Undocumented worker/immigrant" is not a neutral term.

message: The bill provides that illegal immigrants will receive special privileges if they document their presence and employment status in the U.S. since June 2006.  Since they are "undocumented workers", how is this accomplished?  For example, are the facts listed on forged papers accepted as authoritative?  Also, the effects of this disclosure should be elaborated.  Are employers listed by these illegal aliens theoretically subject to prosecution?  If so, will they voluntarily confirm application data?  If an employer refuses to provide corroborating information, will the data stated on the application be accepted, or rejected?
Since immigrants on current visas are not eligible for the amnesty, is there concern that people will be afraid to participate in the future guest worker program, for fear of losing their status as illegal aliens and thus eligibility for future citizenship?  Do requirements for nondiscrimination or due process allow the immigrants on current visas or long-time residents of Mexico to file a lawsuit demanding equal treatment with people who can prove that they have violated American laws?

thread_title: Untitled

message: I just carried out a major cleanup of the records section, editing most of the records, though if someone wants to make further progress then putting them in tables (with clear explanation) might be a good idea.  
Most of the problems arose from results for approval ratings being mixed up with results from preferred prime minister scores, and the latter called "approval ratings" although they are not.  They are different.  An approval rating is obtained by asking the respondent whether they approve or disapprove of the performance of a given leader.  A preferred prime minister score is obtained by asking the respondent which out of the Prime Minister and the Opposition Leader would make the best PM.  It is possible that a voter will approve of the Opposition Leader while thinking the incumbent PM is better at PM.  It is also possible that a voter will disapprove of the Opposition Leader while preferring them to become PM because they dislike the Government more.
To give an example, when Nelson polled the worst-ever preferred prime-minister score of 7%, this was not because the voters greatly disliked him.  It was because they did not know him very well, he wasn't especially popular, and he was up against a new and very popular Prime Minister.  His approval rating at the time was 29 and his disapproval 38 with 33% uncommitted.Therealsleepycat (talk) 13:59, 3 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Applicable to Strapdown inertial systems too 

message: 2015-01-21 1914 - RD - I am loath to make an edit as this topic is new to me, but in getting to the bottom of it (and thank you for uploading the translated paper) I observe that para 2 says "consider a pendulum ... suspended in a uniform gravitational field", and in the following sentence makes it "suspended from the surface of the Earth". I took that to mean that it was still in the uniform gravitational field, whereas at the surface of the Earth the field is non-uniform, as it always points to the centre. Could I suggest two amendments:
1)   "at the center of the earth" <add> "and the field would no longer be uniform, but will always point to that center" </add>; and in the next sentence
2)   "the bob tends to remain motionless" <replace by> "the bob will remain motionless".   
I think that would help new readers. Thank you.

thread_title:  Para 2 - «Principle» is confusing, I believe 

message: 2019-11-10 - I agree and I would go further to say it's downright confusing and not strictly correct. Bringing in the 84 minute period so early in the explanation is what leads to the confusion; the argument is backwards. I have been trying to understand the Schuler phenomenon for many years and all of the articles I read made the same confusing error. Only today, when I saw his actual paper for the first time did the penny drop. It's not only powerful but amazingly simple. Translating liberally, here is what he says:
Say we have a mass distribution pivoted without friction about a horizontal axis at the earth’s surface.
Obviously, if we apply a horizontal acceleration, it will (or maybe not) rotate, depending only on how well balanced it is.
If it’s perfectly balanced, (ie centre of mass = centre of rotation) then the acceleration produces no torque and the mass doesn’t rotate.
However, if it is NOT balanced, it will experience an angular acceleration proportional to the applied linear acceleration
dw/dt = m dv/dt e/(m L^2)  = dv/dt e/L^2, where
m is mass
e is imbalance (distance between c of m and c of pivot)
L is radius of gyration 
dv/dt is the acceleration
If e is zero, the mass keeps pointing in the same direction regardless of the acceleration.
If e is non-zero, it will rotate.
