replies: text: I would have to disagree. You can actually start a sentence with an adverb saying " Thematically, the story explores" is the same as saying "The story thematically explores" and is much less wordy (and less passive) then "Several of the themes that the story explores are". However, I do not feel to emotionally attached to this content, and am going to step away from this article, good luck with FAC, Sadads (talk) 22:28, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Music (archaeology)

message: People who want to find stuff about music archaeology will look for it using search words like "music archaeology." So why not merge
prehistoric music (specific) under Music Archaeology, (general)? Or Music (Archaeology).
Bob Fink 2005-10-14 11:20:42
* People who want to find out are just as likely to look for "prehistoric music" as for "music archaeology". And they are certainly not going to key in potential titles with () brackets! I say the merge direction should be into prehistoric music. Bob - all four of the titles you created will still be there as redirects and, providing you put the word "archaeology" into the article, search engines will still find it using either of the key phrases. -- RHaworth 10:43, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Stratham, New Hampshire

message: I re-inserted some details for this section back in the article.  I feel because this is a small community, and there is so little non-census non-stat content in this article; this content is worthwhile, in telling people about the place.  The best part of the article is the single paragraph in history.  The rest is pretty weak, and looks like a computer generated it.  I feel mentioning people (and why they're notable) gives a little life to the article.  If more good content is added, than I would support trimming the detail.  I would also support removing a couple names I added, if even more notable people can be put in their place.  --rob 11:49, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Alps??

message: This article exceeds its area. Sar_mountain-Pindos Alps are included in Dinaric Alps, which is not correct. That way we could include the Alps themselves into Dinaric Alps. Kopaonik mountain is questionable as the part of this mountain chain also. Kubura 12:29, 14 October 2005 (UTC)

Apparently an anonymous user had wrongly added the entire southwestern part of the Balkans to the definition - which is wrong, and evident from the text which clearly states where the mountain direction changes to north-south - this region marks the beginning of a different part of the cordillera system or what's-it-called.

* The name Dinaric Alps is very unfortunate because it is not the Alps. Better name is Dinaric Mountains. Triglav lies in the Alps so it does not belong to the Dinaric Mountains.

Talk:Moving frame

message: A frame is nothing other than a basis for a tangent space. A moving frame is just a set of sections of the tangent bundle which form a basis in each tangent space. --MarSch 12:41, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes. It's just a section of the GL-principal bundle. But the method of moving frames is a bit more than that. Charles Matthews 12:46, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, and it should come out and say this. Because, unfortunately, smooth frame redirects to here, and it is NOT the same thing: a smooth frame is a smooth basis on an arbitrary vector bundle, rather than on the tangent bundle. To add to the confusion, there is the concept of a smooth atlas, which is like an atlas (topology) but smooth. None of these artciles, as far as I can tell, define what a local smooth atlas on a generic vector bundle is. :-( Its a bit of a mess, a hodge-podge of stuff. 67.198.37.16 (talk) 04:24, 24 October 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: This article does not currently talk about the "method of moving frames". More robust articles are Cartan connection and Frame bundle, which provide complete, coherent definitions and discussions.

Talk:Loser

message: A loser is kind of like someone who doesn't have many people in their life. Someone who doesn't have many friends. Someone who is always at the bottom of the social food chain. The word "Loser" has an important meaning in modern culture that has not been adequately described in the list of meanings of disambiguation of the word "Loser" on the Loser main page. "Failure" has been listed, but this is too wide and covers every form of failure, where as, "Loser" means specifically a social outcast, someone who through their personal attributes proves to be anticharismatic. Why hasnt this been included in the main page by those with the authority to change the page? I note there is the hand gesture "Loser" listed there - the hand symbol that relates to the meaning I describe above for "Loser", but the underlying cause of the gesture is not accomodated on the main page and it ought to be. www.anticharisma.com  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.211.153 (talk) 10:19, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:EMD SD45T-2

message: The production total of the SD45T-2 locomotive was 247, not 248. The SP 9220 was wrecked in Tucson, AZ in January 1973 and rebuilt with the same frame number by the Sacramento General Shops as the SP 9314. That is why you have the anomaly of 248 number slots, but only 247 frame numbers. The SP 9314 is the sole occupant of SP Class EF636-11 and was redelivered to the Southern Pacific in April 1974.

message: http://utahrails.net/up-diesel-roster/up-diesel-roster-53.php
Only 231 of Southern Pacific's/Cotton Belt's 239 SD40T-2's and 69 of Rio Grande's 73 units were present at merger. Thus, the Union Pacific never had the entire fleet. So 12 units didn't make it to Union Pacific.
And I'm skeptical if all 312 were ever on the roster together when Rio Grande and Southern Pacific first merged like the article claims. It's quite likely that several of these that didn't survive to the Union Pacific acquisition were already gone before these two lines merged. Two Rio Grande units were retired in 1989 for the first from that fleet to go but I don't know if it was before or after May 1st when the operating departments of both lines became one (Although Rio Grande Industries bought Southern Pacific in 1988 so maybe that's the date we should be using even though they operated separately until the following year).
It seems likely that at least one of those 8 Southern Pacific units that Union Pacific didn't get had been retired prior to 1988/1989 although I lack that data. So it's very likely that the entire group was never together.

message: although i haven't yet seen this word in a reliable medical dictionary or whatever, googling "trisma" indicates that it is jaw clenching (as opposed to bruxism, teeth grinding, and trismus, lock jaw, which are definitely medical terms).  one thing i'd like to add:  i personally get trisma/jaw clenching when i take too much adderall (mixed amphetamine salts).  I mean like one pill i dont get it, 2 pills i do, its just that tiny bit more that brings on this side effect.  someone should find find a reference (an accepted medical organization/book/journal article) that can confirm that this is the right terminology
