Talk:Dubhe

message: Can somebody transliterate 斗 &  天樞?  TREKphiler hit me ♠  01:05, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Watch your language

message: Currently, the article states that Dubhe is the northern pole star
for 5100 BC and 20500 AD.  During these points in the Earth's axial precession,
Dubhe's declination is less than 60 degrees.  On the other hand,
Alkaid, which is brighter than Dubhe, will have a declination of
over 75 degrees.  Though neither is as ideal as Polaris is
currently (over 89 degrees and nearly as bright), wouldn't Alkaid
be a better choice?

replies: text: Some of these proposed moves are probably reasonable, but oppose moving Merak. If it's a disambiguation page, that means there's no single primary topic for it.

text: Support for the rest of these; the proper names are consistently more common than the Bayer designations in ADS. I could also support a move from Beta Ursae Majoris to Merak (star); what I opposed above was moving the disambiguation page that's currently at Merak. As for Benetnasch, I get less results for it in ADS than either Alkaid or Eta Ursae Majoris. Alkaid is the more common name and also the IAU-approved one. SevenSpheres (talk) 16:53, 22 November 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually searching for "...UMa" in ADS returns different results than "...Ursae Majoris" (for some designations the abbreviated and full forms return the same results?), so it looks like at least some of the Bayer designations may be more common.

message: The article refers to Dubhe as a spectroscopic binary. But this is a visual binary, isn't it? The separation is about half a second of arc, which is a very close pair, but nonetheless there is a well-determined orbit from direct observation of the secondary star.

Talk:Portable collision avoidance system

message: No references to external websites have been mentioned and only the company to invent the technology has been mentioned. The term "PCAS" is growing in popularity and is used along with "TCAS" to differentiate active and passive systems to other aircraft and air traffic control. While the term "PCAS" originated with the company it is becoming a common term for a less expensive, portable TCAS-like system. TCAS is more of a commercially used term whereas PCAS is used more often in general aviation (smaller, private aircraft for example).

message: Hi folks, just in case someone with less experience with phishing scammers comes to this Wikipedia page, there's a mention of the FFIEC in some emails that are intended to steal your bank login information. Do NOT click any of the links that they send you (most of the emails are sent out to people who don't even have an account at the bank, of course).
One of them I just got was this:
Dear Bank of America - Military Bank Customer,
As part of our efforts to meet the requirements of the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (FFIEC), we now ask all Military Bank Online users to verify their account information. It's a smart and simple way to add an additional level of protection to your account. 
Here's how it works: 
 
    1.   Click here to sign on. 
    2.   Complete our quick and simple form.  
    3.   Continue with your Military Bank Online session.  
We may periodically ask you to provide information in Military Bank Online as a quick identity check. That way, when you drop in to do business, we'll know it's you. 
Thank you,
Bank Of America - Military Bank Online 
NOTE: I do not even HAVE a "Bank Of America" account, but this particular phishing email seems more "legit" because the potential victim could research FFIEC and sees it's not made up, then believes the rest of the email. :( 199.214.27.209 17:35, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
