message: Well, I took Oriental studies a while back and one of my teachers told me that he and a team comprised by many nationals was researching every single fact of the book, and with modern knowlege could attest the truthfulness of 85% or so of the narrative.

message: In this page, the pronunciation of the word 'beau' in the 18th century is written /bio/, and I am afraid this information is incorrect.
Dans quelques mots, l'usage rend e muet. ex) Beau, Trupeau.
In some words, the usage [of the letter] makes e mute. ex) beau /boː/, trupeau /try.poː/
(D'Aisy, 1674)
Ainsi, en montrant aux disciples ces différentes combinaisons, ba, beau, ban, boient (Modern spelling: baient), il faut les accoutumer à prononcer tout d'un coup ba, bô, ban, bê, sans leur faire nommer les lettres, ...
Thus, in showing the disciples these different combinations: ba, beau, ban, boient (this would be spelt 'baient' in modern French orthography), they have to be accustomed to pronouncing ba, bô, ban, bê all at once, without naming the letters, ...
(D'Açarq, 1760)

Talk:Oxalyl chloride

message: I'm not a usual contributor to wikipedia so apologies I don't know the correct way to write here. 
I notice on this page there is a comment "One of the minor by-products from this reaction is a potent carcinogen.[7]" .  This is not correct, I have the copy of Clayden that is referenced.  The carcinogenic comment refers to a comment that DMF will also form the villsmeier reagent with Thionyl chloride but this is not advised due to the formation of a potent carcinogen.  It does not state that oxalyl chloride and DMF forms a carcinogen.

thread_title:  Incorrect section 

message: I thought about adding the section below to the main article but then decided it was too far off the topic of oxalyl chloride itself though it is an example of how corrosive oxalyl chloride can be.
On 15 March 2000 eighty canisters of oxalyl chloride were falsely labeled and declared as a non-toxic solid substance, hydroxyquinoline, and shipped as cargo via Malaysia Airlines from Beijing, China to Chennai, India. One or more canisters leaked on the first leg of the flight which was from from Beijing to Kuala Lumpur. The flight crew detected an acrid odor before landing in Kuala Lumpur and five ground handlers in Kuala Lumpur were taken ill when unloading the canisters.
The passengers disembarked without incident but inspection found extensive corrosion damage to the fuselage, wing box structure and landing gear. The six-year-old Airbus A330-300 was so badly damaged that the manufacturer concluded that it could not be repaired. Following extensive inspections by Airbus and insurers the aircraft was declared a constructive total loss about a year after the incident.

thread_title:  Why was the CZ-1 removed from the page? 

message: Not sure if this is the appropriate place to put this, but as these synthesizers are getting on in years the memory backup battery has usually well exceeded its 10 year design life and may need replacement.
The original BR2032-1HM Lithium battery is a horizontally mounted type that is soldered onto the circuit board.
The Casio CZ1 service manual schematics/parts list (page 62) show a BR2032-1HM Lithium battery.
It is sometimes replaced by a CR2032 lithium cell (which has lower temperature rating and quicker discharge), combined with a horizontal 20mm cell holder (the HM part). 
Easy to replace the battery: Just flip the old CR2032 cell out and slot another one in rather than desolder/resolder the BR2032-1HM. Quick and dirty solution, and probably a good quick fix to get your money and run if you are are servicing one for money. Beware the battery may fall out if the device is bumped, hence why Casio soldered the BR2032-1HM type in.
The '2032' is the dimensions of the battery - 20mm wide by 3.2mm high - same for both types of battery. 
The BR is for a Lithium Polycarbon Monofluoride battery, and the CR is for Manganese Dioxide chemistry. 
Self discharge for BR cells is far lower than CR types (BR=90% voltage left after 10 years), hence their specified preferred use in a 10 year backup environment by Casio in the Casio CZ-1. 
The BR cells are rated at 3.0v 190mAh. 
Both the BR2032 and CR2032 batteries are designed to be NON-rechargeable.
Don't forget to backup your settings before you remove the battery and restore them afterwards.
I hope this clears up any misunderstandings.﻿ Cheers...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.220.138.209 (talk) 13:02, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Sic

message: The current lead suggests that the use of sic ("thus") derives from the use of the longer phrase sic erat scriptum ("thus is had been written"). However, despite some efforts by Wikipedia editors (cf. talk pages archives here and especially here), no reliable secondary source establishing that this is indeed the case has ever been cited in this article. The claim was added to the article on 10 February 2012 by a since-blocked editor, who cited Merriam-Webster's collegiate dictionary, which however does not back up the claim.
Searching Google Books for occurrences of the phrase before 10 February 2012 only yields actual Latin texts (e.g. , , , , ) that are using it in their own literal narrative contexts (not in our intended editorial context of 'quoting it as it was written'), as well as a book somehow showing a screenshot of the post 10 Feb 2012 Wikipedia page (Google Books version probably revised/updated after the book's original publication in 2009?). Sure, doing a normal Google search for "sic erat scriptum" yields tons of websites repeating that "sic" is short for "sic erat scriptum", but of course none of these cite a source, and it seems very likely that they themselves rely on Wikipedia (and so using them would be WP:CIRCULAR and result in WP:CITOGENESIS).
Given this situation, it is clear that we need a good secondary, pre-February 2012 source to back up the claim. The current reference to the fact that a US federal judge apparently once (in U.S. v. Bryant, Case No. 11-CR-20034, November 15, 2012) used the phrase "sic erat scriptum" in a court document to note that they were using a variant spelling of Bryant's given name does not meet that bar, for several reasons. Of course it's a primary source (which against WP:PSTS we are clearly interpreting to establish something the source does not say), it's post-February 2012 (judges are human too, they read Wikipedia), but it also does not actually back up the claim that "sic" derives from "sic erat scriptum" (the reverse may be true), nor does it show that this judge's use of it is anything more than an idiosyncrasy on their part (i.e. it does not show that anyone else is using it).
I am therefore removing the claim from the article. Per WP:BURDEN, please do not reinstate this without citing a secondary, pre-February 2012, reliable source. ☿ Apaugasma (talk ☉) 21:37, 26 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Raymond Herrera

message: WTF is a "stop-go" technique? Could someone explain it to this to a fledgling drummer and curious Wikipedian? // Gargaj 00:17, 2005 August 25 (UTC)
This page needs SERIOUS editing, people! I would do it if I had time, but there are just so many flaws I don't have time right now. I've just gone round and cleaned up the Christian Olde Wolbers, Andrew Shives and Byron Stroud stubs. I didn't check the edit history, but I'd wager all of these are done by the same person, and all are equally awful. A drummer needs to come and fix this article very, very quickly. For the record, Herrera does use triggers.
I fixed the comment on triggers. It may be a fact he uses them but he shouldn't be considered a bad drummer for using them. Triggers are not a dirty thing.
Also, a "stop-go" technique can go in many examples though one way to put it is like the intro of a song is fast but the verse suddenly becomes slow.
----
I maintain Raymond's website and other such business.  I will discuss with him the contents of this page and update it.
----
Unlike continously playing single strokes on the bass drums for an extended period of time, a "stop go technique" is a way of playing where you play in bursts. (In this case, Herrera's double bass drum technique.)  For example: 4 single strokes, pause, another 4 single stokes, pause, another 4 single strokes, etc.
The info on this page needs to be written by someone other than a 16 year old.
----
I did my best to add more detail to the unique facets of Raymond's playing style, and added a previously overlooked tidbit about the way he "doubles" his bass drum with palm muted guitar notes.
I am, by the way, 16 years old. Get over it. 24.211.19.239 07:07, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Hazard info

message: Has anyone else searched Sigma Aldrich and the rest of the online literature for the smell and/or taste of cyclohexanone?  I can't find any of those sources which agree with the "peardrop sweet" description of its smell. Reference 7, the entry for cyclohexanone in Ullmann's, is cited to support that, but unfortunately is behind a paywall.  The non-pay sources generally say cyclohexanone's got a minty and an acetone smell.  The perfumers' references also recommend you smell it in 1% or less concentration.
I also notice that there's a kosher version of cyclohexanone offered for sale.  Kashrut is generally applied to foods, not scents, so someone's using cyclohexanone as a flavoring agent. 
I'll follow this up later, but I thought others here might want to look into the taste/smell of cyclohexanone in other references than Ullmann's. Peardrop sweets are a delight unknown to most of the English speakers in North America, and it's difficult to find any other references which confirm the "peardrop sweet" description of cyclohexanone's odor and taste.  loupgarous (talk) 00:24, 1 May 2017 (UTC)
