thread_title:  Catheter 

message: In my case, a short catheter was inserted into my urethra, with a cylindrically-shaped bulb at the leading end to hold it in place, only a few inches from the exit of the urethra. It was referred to as a Foley catheter, but evidently was something else. It was inserted because I was confined to my hospital bed and couldn't get up to urinate. I wonder what the proper term for it was. Unfree (talk) 23:18, 22 June 2009 (UTC)

message: I hope you don't mind but I made the image on Narita International Airport non-thumbnail. -- EmperorBMA|話す 13:06, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Dethumbnail 

message: The infobox as it currently stays doesn't address data aging, most notably the magnetic variation and the associated runway re-numbering. Also, rwy lengths can change, rwys added/removed etc. Probably, a traditional (in aviation) "not for navigation" label is appropriate, although in general there seem to be enough disclaimers around the WP anyhow. Perhaps smth like a reference to the source (e.g. DAFIF or FAA database revision).
For the US airports I would also add a relevant airnav link (I don't know if it's OK to give such a wide endorsement to a commercial country-based site, but it is widely recognized by the aviators as a valuable resource.

message: It seems like we should define "thiolate" in the header, since the referring page will often mention "thiolate" instead of "thiol" and the casual reader will want to see quickly what a "thiolate" is.  The relative reactivities of thiol and thiolate per se aren't important for the header, but it seemed a good setting in which to define/contrast thiol and thiolate, as well as a basic point worth giving extra emphasis.

:A hyperboloid is a doubly-ruled surface generated by a set of straight wires, whose ends span two parallel circles in opposite senses. Note the isolated straight line segment that lies on the surface (at its narrowest part) and intercepts all the wires.
The second sentence does not appear in the caption at Hyperboloid. If I understand it at all correctly, it refers to the "equator" or "waistline" of the hyperboloid, which is not a straight line segment at all but a circle which contains the centers of the wires and is parallel to the circles containing their ends.
