Talk:1974–75 NFL playoffs

message: If the NFC playoffs had been seeded, Minnesota would have been #1, St. Louis #2 and Los Angeles #3. Here's why. 
Since Los Angeles and St. Louis did not play head-to-head, conference records would have been used. 
Minnesota and St. Louis both finished 8-3 to Los Angeles' 7-3 (Rams had an extra interconference game), so the Rams are out and #3. 
Go back to step 1 of the two-team tiebreaker, head-to-head. Minnesota beat St. Louis 28-24 in week 9. Therefore, Vikings get #1 seed. 
Divisional playoff matchups if seeded would have been #4 Washington (wild card) at #1 Minnesota and #3 Los Angeles at #2 St. Louis. 9toedfreak (talk) 20:19, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

 It would be even better if you used the default reference system. That is, instead of "(raference, date)" write
reference, date
and at the end of the article before the references add:

Talk:Studebaker Commander

On the 1953, the name Champion is clearly visible on the grille, so I have removed it. Maybe someone with more knowledge than I can do the same with the 1950 pic, but I hope they can both be replaced by photos of authentic Commanders. (C'mon, fellow Stude buffs, get into it!)

Talk:Tethyan Trench

message: "Subduction at the Tethyan Trench probably caused the continents Africa and India to move towards Eurasia, which resulted in the opening of the Indian Ocean"
:Inexpertly, the extensional slab-pull force, drawing Afro-India northwards towards Eurasia, would have stretched & thinned the Afro-Indian continental crust (if only along the northern shores of Gondwana).  Indeed, crustal thinning, unto rifting, had previously pulled the Cimmerian Plate off from the northern coastline of Gondwana, beginning about 300 Ma.  Perhaps those episodes of crustal thinning caused those coastal terrains to subside beneath then-neo-Tethys-sea-level? 66.235.38.214 (talk) 09:58, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

message: Subduction is not the prime mover for plate tectonic activity, its only an endplate motor effect due to distal seafloor spreading. The Indian ocean opened up due to seafloor spreading between the Indo Australian plate and Antarctic plate and the African plates , it also resulted in localized crustal weakness along the northern margins of the Tethys seafloor which caused it to buckle and subduct under the Cimmerian terranes of  Eurasia — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.138.12.105 (talk) 12:54, 20 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Audio Research

message: I think McIntosh is the oldest American hi-fi maker still extant.. formed in the 50's.
I'd mention Marantz and Fisher, but those two have no operations left here in the US, and their product has been of variable quality since the dawn of the solid-state era (mid-60's.)
McIntosh still makes their stuff in the US, as does Audio Research.  Both are still insanely expen$ive, with quality to match.
Audio Research Corporation was formed in 1970, iirc.
Not quite encyclopedia material but wtf.. ARC stuff tends to have very un-conventional design, with very beefy and well-regulated powersupplies, use of un-conventional phase-splitters (van syock / cross-coupled, more complex and expensive than the more common cathodyne splitter as used by hafler/dynaco but delivering a fully symmetrical signal to the output pair).  ARC also prides themselves in keeping a stash of parts for their stuff, no matter when built.  Their support staff alone is worth the price of admission.  
I have two older ARC tube pieces (a pre and a power amp), and the build (and sound) is stunning.  Built by engineers for engineers, I don't think it's very user-friendly as regards maintenance, unless the user is an out-and-out geek =o)

Now usually in these deals where "tooling" was acquired,  it was for the previous and superseded model.  This was generally so, for all of the east european and turkish "fiats" and the iranian cars and many south american cars.   But for Renault it says the Renault 12 was only introduced in 1969.

thread_title:  Citation style 

message: I'm reading the summary in the intro paragraphs without having read the rest of the article, and I find it quite confusing. It's filled with bad forms like "while awaiting... Lane abandoned"; it omits crucial information (I assume everybody abandoned the colony in 1586, not just Lane, otherwise it's unclear why they had to build a whole new settlement later); and it's vague about roles and cause-effect relationships. For instance, the sentence "During a stop to check on Grenville's men, flagship pilot Simon Fernandes forced White and his colonists to remain on Roanoke." Why was Fernandes checking on Greenville's men, who were only mentioned in relation to the previous settlement? What Greenville's men were doing at that point? How did Fernandes force White and his colonists to remain on Roanoke? Does that mean that the circumstances forced them (in what way, though?), or that Fernandes gave them an explicit order? This whole concept is immediately contradicted by the following sentence anyway, which describes White going back to England with Fernandes. And what authority did Fernandes have? He's only described as "a flagship pilot", which is an obscure designation if not expanded upon (and it's not even hyperlinked). Kumagoro-42 (talk) 05:27, 1 May 2023 (UTC)
