As a resident of karnataka for all these years, Maybe I get to hear from it from you for the first time ;)

message: Concerning "the date in Russian is written as 7/8/1932" - that is the way dates are written by civilized people who use the Gregorian calendar, either from the shortest time unit to the longest or else from the longest to the shortest.

message: Just wanted to tell you about this case. The radio "Echo of Moscow" once had the inadvertence to say that Stalin had children from age 12 executed. The grandson of Stalin went to court against the radio because the remark was a slander. The radio's lawyer and editor in chef didn't manage to prove in court that children were executed in USSR, simply because there was no proof.

:The decree was accepted and harshly used during the Soviet famine of 1932-33, to provide food for industrial workers and the poorest rural residents.
I'm unclear about the implications of this: does it mean that the food shortages were caused because quotas were providing for industrial workers elsewhere, or that people were prosecuted by trying to provide to local workers and the poorest contrary to the quotas and collectivist ownership?  --Vometia (talk) 12:17, 30 July 2020 (UTC)

message: Bishōjo is a Japanese term used to refer to young and pretty girls, usually below university age. Bishoujo is not listed as a word in the prominent Japanese dictionary Kōjien. An example of Bishōjo is Sailor Moon and Tokyo Mew Mew.
Those two examples (and how hard is it to tell the difference between an example and two?) are both manga/anime series, and of course that's part of the meaning of "bishōjo", but the lead doesn't explain anything about this. I'm not going to correct it myself as I'm too new to the anime world to get the exact definition right, but it could be done much better. 91.105.3.204 03:07, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fast ferry scandal

message: Since 2007, the article has contained the header warning of insufficient citations. Like many WP articles essentially written/expanded in that era, no thought was given to including citations. Attempts to retrofit citations to existing content is virtually impossible for such a detailed piece. Furthermore, a careful examination of Morfitt's report indicates that several of the statements attributed to that citation do not even exist in the content of the audit report or are oversimplifications. For practical purposes, new research needs to be conducted on the subject matter and the article largely rewritten with reliable inline citations. Where the audit report is cited, page references need to be included to confirm accuracy.  DMBanks1 (talk) 03:00, 4 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sandara Park

message: The 2011 earthquake and tsunami that struck Japan was one of the most devastating disasters to have happened in recent history. Anyone with internet connection or access to a television set knows about it. The disaster is responsible for 15,894 deaths, 2,562 missing, 228,863 families forced to abandon their homes, and 235 billion dollars in damages, which also makes it the most expensive natural disaster in history across the globe. Sandara Park (along with 2NE1) were in Japan during this event. For a person to call this random and irrelevant information is highly irresponsible. If she and her members had been any closer, they very well could have lost their lives. This is significant, and has been described as one of the most memorable days in her life by the woman herself. The fact that CL saved her is a fact. The fact that CL accompanied her down 34 flights of stairs is a fact. The fact that Fuse honored them by including them in a list counting down friendships is a fact. You cannot change this nor can you change the fact that Wikipedia is based upon facts. I would understand its deletion if I hadn't provided references, mistranslated, or purposely wrote things differing from the article, but none of this occurred, meaning that it is simply you trying to decide the weight of facts. Her being in Japan during this time is an interesting piece of information, and that CL took it upon herself to save her is relevant. So much so, this should be on CL's page as well. In the future please refrain from this deleting it, if there is something you believe is not accurate or should be written differently, edit it to you're liking (which will be reviewed by other editors of course), but to remove an entire section that is not only written correctly (though it is always open for improvement), but is backed up by solid references and occurred during one of the worlds worst natural disasters in human history is, again, irresponsible.

message: Tao Payoh is not the appropriate choice in the image montage. As you an see, it's not properly sized, causing a distortion.

Talk:Particle velocity

message: Does anybody mind if I move this page to Particle velocity and change the content to describe the general case of particle velocity in waves  i.e. Not all particles are air molecules and not all waves are sound.   But, since it is a good concrete example of particle velocity, I'll put the part that applies to sound in a section of the article titled "Application to Acoustics" or something similar.  I might also merge the content of Sound velocity level and Particle velocity level in with this as well, their content is exactly the same and they are relatively short.
Proposed move:
Sound particle velocity -> Particle velocity  and generalize content.
:Danny Beardsley 08:05, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)

message: The definition in the present article refers to a 'particle (real or imagined).' Can anyone give an example of a wave in which the vibrating 'particles' are real?  For sound waves, the particles are described as 'air molecules'.  But these are not molecules in the usual physical or chemical sense.  In the absence of sound the particle velocity is zero but the molecular velocity certainly is not! The rms molecular speed c_m is related to the speed of sound by
c_m^2=\frac{3c^2}{\gamma}=\frac{3P}{\rho_o}
where c is the speed of sound, P is atmospheric pressure, \rho_o is the density of air and \gamma is the ratio of the principal specific heats (approx 1.40).

thread_title: Older comments

message: An alert IP using the name of "Justan Otheranon Hillwalker" has pointed out at User_talk:Britishfinance#https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Wainwrights that the prominence figures given in the "Wainwrights by Height" table for all the non-Birkett Wainwrights are wrong! The "prominence in meters" figure was actually the height in feet, the "prominence in feet" was that figure converted to metres, leading to some extraordinary numbers - which no-one has noticed for five years. Unfortunately , who created these tables and various others from Database of British and Irish Hills, hasn't edited for two years, so we can't ask them to fix the problem. 
There are only 5 non-Birkett Wainwrights, and the figures for Castle Crag were OK. I think I have corrected the 2 prominence figures for each of the other 4 non-Birkett Wainwrights, disobeying the instruction that the table should never be edited unless using a totally new download from DBIH.
The Outlying Fells are another problem: there are about 60 Birketts, so 56 non-Birketts, so 56 fells to check in the database, 56 metre prominences to convert, 112 numbers to correct. I could try to fix them some time but not right now.
In case my changes have done anything wrong to the main table, I have included a comment "See talk" beside each number I corrected.
Does anyone have the data manipulation skills to refresh these tables in their entirety, I wonder, in the absence of their original creator?  Does anyone care about them?  The page views suggest that quite a few people look at the page, but the fact that no-one has noticed the dodgy prominences is ... interesting, let's say. 
I've left a message at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject_Lancashire and Cumbria#Problems with List of Wainwrights to see if anyone can help out, and messages pointing to that one on the other relevant Wikiproject talk pages. PamD 21:39, 12 October 2023 (UTC)
