Talk:Davey Moore (boxer, born 1959)

message: Squeamish readers  should skip this discussion of calling his death "instant".
_ _ Do we have reason to believe the car crushed his skull? Saying "died instantly" without adding that cause is unencyclopedic, in sounding like the gentle lies sometimes told to surviving relatives.  Destruction, or severe damage, of the brain, by application of force or by radiant energy (probably a nuclear weapon) can reasonably be described as "instant"; IIRC the 2nd fastest cause of death is following a total bleedout (or i suppose decapitation), and takes something like 3 additional seconds.  (No comment on likelihood of consciousness between the trauma and death.)
_ _ Hmm, even if it crushed his skull (instead of legs or chest, which is far more plausible) the car was moving slowly enuf not to be immediately noticed -- a few inches per second. Having your skull crushed at that rate is IMO nothing like such instant deaths as "swallowing"  a handgun (that configuration ensures total disruption of the brainstem) or hitting your head on your windshield at 88 feet per second, and then on a bridge abutment at 80 fps.
_ _ BTW, do we really know he left it in gear? I suppose so, if it was a manual shift (but i think the original mentioned "park" (implying automatic), tho that deserves better verification) but this sounds like it was unwitnessed (inside the garage and unaccompanied), and some automatics can slip out of park. --Jerzy•t 21:17, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Where it would be nice, of course, to have access to the Wiki at the meeting, I would consider it a "nicety" more than a "need". WikiHolics  that NEED 24/7 access should invest in a cellular ISP.

So maybe there shouldn't really be more than one laptop around...if there's only one, then at least people are social in trying to figure out how to share it.  :)  The entire group can be let in on "what's going on with the laptop" and which discussion point it is being used to investigate.

Talk:Conch piercing

message: Firstly, having "cartilage piercing" redirect to this page is misleading.  Technically there is cartilage in both the nose and ear.  Also, a casual user looking for information on "cartilage piercings" is probably thinking of either the helix/anti-helix/forward helix area or is looking for information on ear cartilage piercings in general which can refer to any number of things including inner/outer conch, the above mentioned, tragus/anti-tragus, daith, rook, and so on.  Cartilage piercing and conch piercing are not interchangable; rather the inner and outer conch piercings are two of many ear cartilage piercings.
Secondly, this article is worded badly and inaccurately.  The statement "Typically, inner conch piercings are of a larger diameter, such as 14g or 12g or larger." needs to be changed entirely.  In the context of body piercing, the diameter refers the diameter of the ring or ring-like piece of jewelry and is independent of the thickness.  The correct word here would be "gauge."  While technically the gauge is a measure of the diameter of part of the jewelry, the term "diameter" is never used in this manner when discussing piercings.  Also, 14g and 12g are rarely referred to as "larger diameter [gauge]."  The term "large gauge" is more correctly applied to jewelry in the 4g range and up.
"After sufficient stretching, an open earlet or similar piece of body jewelry can be worn in the healed piercing."
This is also particularly misleading, as it is difficult if not impossible for most people to stretch any cartilage piercing, most assuredly not to the degree where one could stretch a 12g fistula large enough to accomodate an open eyelet.  These sizes are obtained exclusively from dermal punches.  Whoever wrote this clearly did not understand that a piercing in the lobe or other fatty tissue behaves completely different than a piercing through cartilage.
"...barbell jewelry is usually worn during the healing and stretching..."
Again, cartilage does not stretch.
"This piercing is done with a large gauge piercing needle"
Again, 16/14g needles are not considered "large gauge."
"...single-flare plug or tunnel." In reference to the piercing process;
This is vague.  A plug or tunnel could be inserted into a punched outer conch, but in the context of the article it makes it sound like one could be pierced with a needle and then insert a plug.  Either way the sentence is either wrong or vague.  And you can't stretch cartilage.
"A dermal punch may also be used to bypass stretching."
Can't stretch cartilage.
"With both stretching and dermal punching,"
There is no stretching cartilage.

I edited the sentence with "tomboy" and one with "tender" ("tender age of thirteen") because these descriptions are subjective.  Your additions seem very helpful.  Perhaps noting why these activities (hunting/fishing/horseback riding/eating with men) are unusual for women in this culture would help explain why she is such a notable figure in samurai history, as certain clans trained girls how to defend their homes but subserviance to men was an imperative.

message: The article is factually but contains very little on the woman herself. It's like reading a timeline of her life. Really we need discussion of what "she did" as it were. She was nicknamed the "Nun Shogun", yet there's no discussion of her political involvment, etc.

thread_title: More Expansion

message: The article was assessed Start-class because it lacks in-line and citations and lacks coverage & accuracy regarding the subject of the article. In concurrence with the above comment, there is very little content about Masako, herself. Some questions:
* In the Gempei War, it says she "was never defeated in battle". Does this mean...
** ...she fought as a soldier, in hand-to-hand combat?
** ...she led an autonomous unit of troops?
* Why was she called the "nun shogun"? The article doesn't say anything about her as a shogun.

thread_title:  WP: Women's History Assessment Commentary 

message: Please confirm. 
The text does not seem to be correct. It says that the first child of Masako and Yoritomo, Oo Hime, was born 1182, before the Genpei war started. 
The Genpei war was 1180 - 1185, though. 
I think Oo Hime was actually born in the year the Genpei war started, in 1180. It's her brother, the first son of Yoritomo and Masako, who was born in 1182. 
I am not certain though, as I only am able to provide Google searches, but it does make more sense in the text.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The character for Tokimasa is correct. However, the following passage can't be. Ichiman was a child, and he died when he was 6. N ote that he was being brought up by the Hiki, so he wasn't close to the Hōjō. Sanetomo was, as he had been nursed by Masako's younger sister. This article was mostly written by Hiroshi66, so I assume he would prefer to take care of this himself. (I would). Note also that conflicting versions (the Azuma Kagami's and the Gukanshō's) of the events related in the following quotation exist, and they should be both mentioned. See Minamoto no Ichiman's and Hiki Yoshikazu's articles.
 
In 1203, the 21 year old Yoriie became extremely ill and weak, and Tokimasa produced a plan where Japan would be divided between Minamoto no Sanetomo and Minamoto no Ichiman, who was Yoriie's son and very close with the Hōjō, who was planning to become the next shogun. Yoshikazu began to suspect something based on the attitude of Tokimasa, Masako, Ichiman, and Sanetomo, and began to hatch an assassination plot to capture and assassinate Hōjō Tokimasa.
