message: This picture is not of Memphis Central High I dont think  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.64.189.211 (talk) 08:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: picture

message: This article about Central High contains some inaccuracies:
Central is not the successor to Memphis High School - no more so, than any other high school in Memphis.  
Central, along with the new Memphis Vocation High School both opened in September of 1911.  So Central's claim of being the "first" high school is not valid.   
Central was not a continuation of the Memphis High School. The Memphis High School name was only used when there was ONE high school in Memphis. The Board of Education was keenly aware that the city was growing and that new high schools would be needed in all parts of the city. Their plan was to start with one new school in a central location and name it Central High. At the same time, the board closed out and stopped using Memphis High School as a name because there would never again be just ONE Memphis high school. Central High was not a name change. It was a newly created school. Central was a new school and dates from 1911 - PERIOD
In addition, the Memphis Board of Education created the new Memphis Vocational High School  specifically at the same time as they created Central High "to take the load off the new Central so they wouldn't have to build a new building for some time" .   Thus the new Central High and the new Vocational High Schools both opened in September of 1911.
Central opened in a new building.  The Memphis Vocational High School opened in the Poplar Avenue Building that became vacant when Memphis High School closed.  Before deciding to locate the Vocational High in this building, the board even discussed building a new building to house it on one of the corners of the site of the Central building.  They also discussed building a separate Vocational High School long before they planned to build Central High. 
This information is documented in Memphis Board of Education files and the Commercial Appeal files.

Talk:Hydrogel

message: Please update the section #Research. I tried adding a study featured in 2022 in science but it was reverted and arguably rightly so e.g. as other necessary content is missing there (before this would be due) or because it should have been added using more refs (some of which you can find below).
One field that is notable and missing is the use of hydrogels in sustainable energy and atmospheric water generators. Please see the paragraph about both of these in combination at Atmospheric water generator#Power:
For sustainable energy in general / without AWGs, also see this review:

Talk:Lu Edmonds

message: Not sure where this would fall in the story of "LU"  … but , I'll throw it out here , for the author to decide. "Lu" makes a visual / miming cameo in the Thomas Dolby music video for "Hyperactive". He is seen towards the end of the video , where various different singing faces are removed - like masks - from Dolby's body. His head is later shown among the other discarded faces on the floor , still singing. It's an odd appearance , considering "Lu" doesn't play on the original recording , nor on any other Dolby recordings! 75.104.174.56 (talk) 18:16, 15 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:3 Mustaphas 3

message: "In truth however the creation of the band began in 1982 when..." It seems that Niaveti was in on the beginning as well (reading Niaveti's somewhat-obit on the 3M3 myspace page)
As far as I am aware there are NO Egyptian film tunes on the album Shopping. There is a Hindi film tune (Musafir) and also a tune or suite of tunes lifted from an LP called Thousand & One Nights (A Night of Beirut)...
"3 Mustaphas 3 is a British World music band formed in 1986" contradicts the statement "In truth however the creation of the band began in 1982 when" - which is it?
"With tracks ranging from a Country song in Japanese to a Mexican traditional sung in Hindi"
Soba Song is a cover of a Japanese song that was done originally in the style of American Country and Western, whereas the Mexican "traditional" sung in Hindi could very well just be a straight cover of a Hindi film tune...

:I feel that the failure by some editors to use "Ford Motor Company" shouldn't really be condoned by over-riding the use of Ford for the one purpose (especially as it a business name and an abbreviation so somewhat US-centric).

Talk:1.1-inch/75-caliber gun

message: I was a Navy fire control tech. between 1954 and 1958, trained on the Mk. 37 and Mk. 63 systems. Along the way, I picked up a bit of lore about the 1.1" guns (which I had thought were 50 caliber). Their pointing servomechanisms ("power drives", in Navy lingo) used friction clutches, but were so poorly designed that one story said the friction surfaces had to be replaced typically every six hours of service. I have some reason to believe that the drive motors ran at constant speed, and pairs of clutches, one for each direction of rotation, provided torque to the load. (See also the original torque servos, with cords wrapped around rotating cylinders, in the Bush differential analyzer.)
The mounts had a third axis, called cross-traverse, perpendicular to the elevation axis and to the gun barrels. For a fixed bearing and elevation, the four barrels could be swung sidewise, so that at high elevations, geometry approaching gimbal lock wouldn't cause grief.
(I'd dearly love to know about the fire-control system that generated the cross-traverse gun order! Dummy gun, by any chance?)

message: The History sections opens by saying this gun "was developed when the United States Navy's Bureau of Ordnance (BuOrd) decided that the M2 Browning was not adequate for future AA duties," but then quotes a BuOrd finding that the M2 and this gun were both "far from satisfactory."
So something has to change here. We need some reference from the 20s or 30s that explains why the 1.1" gun was developed, or maybe something that says that the 1.1" was never actually effective. Something where the explanation in Wikipedia's voice is consistent with the cited reference, anyway. 71.197.166.72 (talk) 20:37, 21 May 2016 (UTC)
