Talk:Hot-filament ionization gauge

message: :Electrons hitting the grid produce X-rays that produce photoelectric noise in the ion collector. This limits the range of older hot-cathode gauges to 10-8 Torr and the Bayard-Alpert to about 10-10 Torr. Additional wires at cathode potential in the line of sight between the ion collector and the grid prevent this effect.
This text needs improvement. 
* If the effect can be prevented by additional wires, then guages with those extra wires should be effective to an even lower pressure (say, 10^-11 Torr) and their limit should be caused by something other than photoelectric noise. Is this true? (And if it were, what would the similar gauge with just those extra wires be named, what would its limit be, and what would be the cause of its limit?)
*It doesn't say how the BA is different from older gauges. If both are limited by photoelectric noise, why is the limit different? Does BA have the aforementioned extra wires? If BA is specifically designed to avoid photoelectric noise, why is photoelectric noise still the limiting factor of BA?
* "Photoelectric noise" is such as opaque term, suggesting some arcane incomprehensible effect. When really, it's such a simple matter: electrons smacking onto electrodes produce x-rays, which strike and eject new electrons from other electrodes, these photoelectrons form a current which is mistaken for the positive ion current (to which the photoelectrons are of course drawn in the opposite direction by the applied voltage). And naturally this unwanted signal-component might be avoided simply with x-ray shielding to ensure the surfaces that collect the thermal electrons are obscured from the electrode which collects the ions.. although whether that approach is taken by BA isn't explained yet in any detail..
This article could do with a much better exposition of the Bayard-Alpert detector. Supposedly it was critical in the history of vacuum, which (in the 20th C.) had been stalled for three decades purely due to the vacuum experts being ignorant regarding the photoelectric effect (and erroneously presuming the failure to be in their pumps rather than their meter).

Talk:History of the Dylan programming language

message: I believe that much of the content of this article is either irrelevant, too specific, or condensable into smaller chunks.  A lot of it consists of what looks to be personal correspondence, quotes, first-hand recollections of events, name dropping, forum posts copied verbatim, and so on.  Further, I suggest that, since higher profile languages, such as C and Java do not have seperate history pages, the relevant information in this article be relocated to the main article.  If for some reason it is determined that this page should be retained, I suggest that it be renamed to something along the lines of History of the Dylan programming language to better conform to the standard.

Putting aside the issue of the notability of Galaxy Angel, these characters themselves are definitely not notable, and shouldn't have individual pages.
The guidelines on this are: "There are specific notability prerequisites to be met by fictional subjects to warrant articles specifically about them... the rule of thumb is that if the topic is sufficiently notable, secondary sources should be available. It is important that articles give due weight to all aspects of the subject, and to avoid placing undue emphasis on minor points. This concerns all elements of the article page, including infoboxes and succession boxes as well as images and the text".
The most interesting content can be merged into the List of Galaxy Angel characters, and otherwise readers can be directed to the Galaxy Angel wiki (http://galaxyangel.wikia.com/wiki/Characters), which is an appropriate place for this level of detail.

It's very common for us to have "list of" pages for characters in franchises that are very expansive, spanning multiple things and having a large cast of characters that wouldn't fit well on the article's main page.

Talk:Outline of air pollution dispersion

message: I think it would be important/necessary to mention in this section that scale dependent dispersion is a fundamental principle. Big plumes spread fast in x direction, medium in z direction. Small plumes spread slowly in x, and very slow in z. This can happen for any flow if the initial size of clouds are smaller than the largest eddies that are causing this mixing. In the atmosphere, there is no limit on the size of the mixing motions, so bigger clouds will experience larger and stronger mixing motions This principle comes from the general properties governed by variance = 2Kt

Providing examples of the classes could also be beneficial such as describing how clear nights allow the surface of the Earth to cool more quickly creating more stable conditions and how the sun creates unstable stratification by warming the ground, creating an imbalance with the cooler, denser air above and promoting vertical mixing.
