Talk:Waveguide (optics)

message: Hi all.  I'm just here disambiguating "Beam" and this isn't my field but the WG article TITLEs are a little muddled.  Might I suggest that:
*"Waveguide (optics)" be retitled "Waveguide (dielectric)" or similar
*"Waveguide (electromagnetism)" be retitled "Waveguide (hollow metal pipe :-)" or similar.
Reasons:
*It's all EM
*EM in fibers is often not visible
*Optical is also a general term refering to any EM bouncing around, e.g. GO, PO and BWGs (which don't even have a reference in WP!?)
I've drop this in Waveguide, WG(em) and WG(opt) as there doesn't seem to be much overlap between the "talkers".    Enjoy, Saintrain 18:03, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Tulip Joshi

message: Hi!
This is captain Vinod Nair. As mentioned in your page, Tulip and i have been together for years now so i dont think any scource would be better than me. 
Details given about Tulip's date of birth, films she's working on are incorrect. Information given about me too is quite incorrect. Here are some facts straight from the horse's mouth :)
I am not a healer, thats something the media seems to highlight. I run a management consulting firm named Kimmaya and am a specialist in management. Details about me are available at: www.kimmaya.com (My official site)
As for Tulip, here are some facts about her:
A. Her family is not against her being in films, they are for it in every way
B. She was NOT born in 1972, i wonder why some one would want to make her older than she is??
C. Meri Yaar ki Shaadi was a smash hit and thats the only reason why even after so many years, Soni TV beams in every single month.
D. Her upcomming films are:
1. Do: directed by Rohit (james) starring Kunal Khemu and produced by Ashtavinayak (makers of golmal)
2. Dhoka: directed by Pooja Bhatt, produced by Mahesh Bhatt nad starring Muzamil
3. Kabhi Kahi: Directed by Amol Shetge, starring Ashmit Patel
4. Shunya: Starring Kay Kay Menon, Naseerudin Shah & satish Kaushik
5. Zaraa Hatke: Starring southern star Venky
6. Mission 90 days; Starring malayalam superstar Mammootty directed by Major Ravi
PS - I have checked on www.seasonsindia.com as requested by you. cant say about the rest but they are much closer to Tulips birthday than you are. The rest of the interview given there claiming to be by Tulip is a fabricated one. The language they've given there has words that are not in her vocab and she has never been interviewd by them. 
 
If you would like to verify the authenticity of my post, you can feel free to mail me at: captain@vsnl.com or visit my site at: www.kimmaya.com or call my office at 91.9322590634.

message: I came to this article from a link to beta carbon.  For clarity, can we rename it Alpha and beta carbon?  Otherwise, it's not obvious what the relevance of beta is.
The counterargument is that by extension, we could include gamma and delta to infinity in the title. Crystal whacker (talk) 21:10, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Propose rename: Alpha and beta carbon 

message: I welcome any help with this article. I changed the name from "alpha and beta carbon" to "Greek carbon nomenclature". I attempted to find a name for the system by searching Google, but I did not find anything consistent. I am guessing that it is because it is not a formal standard and because none of the possible names seems quite right, at least not at a short length (Greek carbon atom lettering for organic chemistry/Greek lettering system for carbon atoms in organic chemistry/Greek naming system for carbon atoms in organic chemistry). I am open to changing the article's name again if there is a better one. 
I reworded the introduction to fit the new name, including the parts with the references, so I am not positive that they are still valid. -- Kjkolb (talk) 04:14, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed it back. A Google search for "Greek carbon nomenclature" gives no hit at all. IUPAC has an article with the name "α (alpha), β (beta)" which comes close, and its notmal to say alpha carbon and beta carbon, but I dont know any formal name for the nomenclature. Christian75 (talk) 21:50, 7 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That article from IUPAC you link is for a fundamentally different thing. The IUPAC article is for describing stereochemistry where the specific location/molecule is either alpha, beta or unknown(xi). As far as I can tell, there is no formal name for this particular system of numbering, just like there isn't for using numbers. In the IUPAC blue book, it is just referred to as greek letters when it is discussing the locant. I propose merging this with locant and expanding the locant article to include other forms of locant numbering.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Black.jeff (talk • contribs) 06:35, 15 November 2021 (UTC)

::Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts.

message: Whoah... they really got my number with "due to the fact that". :'-(
I often feel my writing is verbose, but can't always figure out why.... "Due to the fact that" was one of the few blighters I managed to pin down. Still hasn't stopped me saying it yet :-/
That aside, I'm not convinced that "At the present time" is a good example of a non-concise expression. The problem is that "the present time" (of writing) becomes the past if not kept up-to-date, giving a false impression. But IMHO that's not a verbosity issue. Fourohfour 20:05, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

Essentially, while I have argued that Jose Gaspar, better known as Gasparilla, is the primary use as the first use of the name and the one the others all derive from, other editors have argued that the Gasparilla Pirate Festival is now better known. However, as it turns out, Gasparilla Island is just as popular a search term if not more so, especially judging by Google Books and Google Scholar which roundly favor the island. As such I've made this the dab page.
