Talk:Austin Dam failure (Texas)

message: At 11.20 a.m. on April 7, when the lake level had reached a height of 11.07 feet above the crest of the dam, the dam gave way at the point marked B in fig. 10, about 300 feet from the east end of the dam. Observers at E, F, and H all agree in their testimony that it first opened at B, and as though the mad current had simply pushed its way through the structure. Sooner than it takes to write these words the two sections AB and BC, each about 250 feet long, were shoved or pushed into the lower positions A'B' and B'C', about 60 feet from their former positions in the dam. There was not the slightest overturning. After the warning break at B, the water over the part ABC was seen to rise several feet, and the next instant the pent-up waters were pouring over the sections A'B' and C'B'.

thread_title:  Direct Copying 

message: The lake impounded by the original Austin Dam is labeled on maps of the period as Lake McDonald, after the Austin mayor who advocated the dam's construction. I have been unable to find any historic reference to the dam by that name, however. It was always called Austin Dam, even in engineering books of the day where it was evidently regarded as a significant achievement, although it was a pretty minor construction compared with dams built 20 years later. Calling it Austin Dam would invite confusion with the better-known Pennsylvania disaster. It was frequently called the "Granite Dam", as the pink granite for its construction came (I now hypothesize) from the same quarries near Llano that supplied the construction of the Texas Capitol. In any case, the construction of the dam, and the (inflated) hopes the citizens of Austin had for its economic benefits, are a story in their own right, independent of the lurid story of its destruction. The article needs a more appropriate title. Might I suggest "Austin, Texas Granite Dam"?Yak99 (talk) 00:58, 3 May 2012 (UTC)

Also, the antediluvian period is around 1500-1600 years long (creation to Noah's 600th birthday when the flood occurred). We shouldn't be thinking in terms of centuries but in millenia.

message: This article is confusing, it's obvious it was originally written about "Troublemaker Studios" but the title was changed without changing anything in the sidebar or the first main section.
It would be better if it was named "Film studios owned by Robert Rodriguez" or something like that since it lists a bunch of other studios in the article that have nothing to do with Troublemaker Studios or Double R Productions.
Also, it's not like Double R replaced Troublemaker, they are still releasing films under that label (see Spy Kids: Armageddon), it just looks like it's an additional studio along with the other ones. Mrbillybob (talk) 01:42, 24 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:The Sweet Hereafter (film)

message: Even though the book, from what I understand (didn't read it), depicts their relationship as abusive it isn't so in the film. You can see them in one scene laying on a haystack, smiling to each other and french kissing. This doesn't seem abusive to me. The film suggests that she was acting out of spite when she lied in her deposition. The night before that she tells him she's no longer his beautiful rockstar girl. Seems like she had a crush on her dad, which the accident dispelled by making her disabled and now she can't live up to her father expectations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.226.52.125 (talk) 22:33, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Saturday Evening Puss

message: As of 17 Nov 2016, the plot summary of this article was clearly too long and detailed, being 614 words long, longer than the plot summaries in many articles about full length feature films.  It had been appropriately tagged with a "story" tag since 13 Nov 2013.  I removed many of the detailed scene descriptions, retaining a description of the plot, and reducing it to 205 words.  On 20 Nov, IP user 81.152.221.139 greatly expanded it again, to 446 words, adding detailed scene descriptions such as changing "Mammy races back home, during which scene her face is briefly shown for the one and only time." to "Mammy is enjoying a nice game of bridge with her friends when she receives the call and is informed of a wild party taking place at her house. Furiously deducing who must be responsible, Mammy slams down the phone, excuses herself and rushes out, sending the cards flying. Mammy races back home at 90 miles an hour (briefly showing her face for the only time in the series) and is so furious she doesn't even stop to open the door, instead ripping it and it's frame right out of the wall and screeching to a halt right in front of the partying felines."
PLOTSUM says that a plot summary "should not cover every scene and every moment of a story."  It says "Anything that is not necessary for a reader's understanding of these three elements [plot, character and theme] ... should not be included."  It recommends that plot summaries for feature films should be 400-700 words and TV shows should be 100-200 words.  A 400+ word description for a one reel cartoon is far too long and detailed, so I have reverted the change.  If you feel important information is missing from the current description, please discuss it here.  CodeTalker (talk) 22:26, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror

message: In two films, Terror by Night and Voice of Terror, the device is used of having the identity of Watson's school chum become an important part of the story. Is it possible for a person to mistake a former close acquaintance or even a former mate? Aging changes people's appearance, voice, and behavior, but a fundamental identity is usually recognized.  Sommersby and The Return of Martin Guerre try to make this credible. These are cases in which Coleridge's willing suspension of disbelief might be necessary if the film is to be tolerated as entertainment.Lestrade (talk) 04:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Qualitative data

message: This is a qualitative program
This article in its present form presents several issues. The statements are inaccurate, unsubstantiated and epistemiologically partisan. The very definition of qualitative data as "informal" data is in sharp contradiction with the last sentence "it is possible to approximate quantitative data from qualitative data" (thus qual. data are formalisable). The statement  "qualitative data are generally (but not always) of less value to scientific research than quantitative data" is the most problematic one. In many a scientific field(from anthropology to demography) qualitative data are just about as important and rich as the quantitative. The statement as to "their subjective and intangible nature" is questionable, too. The colour of someone's hair, e.g., is no more subjective than a temperature. And someone's sex ("M/F") is no more "intangible" than someone's someone's weight. --77.206.236.73 (talk) 06:52, 26 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Pulsar planet

message: "Pulsar planets would be entirely incapable of supporting any form of life as we know it due to the colossal amounts of electromagnetic radiation emitted by pulsars."  I think this line is poorly phrased: all radiation is electromagnetic radiation, including light, and pulsars put out a lot less total energy than, say, main-sequence stars.  Perhaps the statements refers to very strong magnetic fields, or particles accelerated along those fields? --Keflavich 03:48, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: EM radiation isn't the only kind of radiation there is - the magnetically accelerated particles you're speaking of would be a good example of non-EM radiation. You are right, however, that the total energy output isn't the problem with pulsar planet habitability - it's the kinds of radiation emitted, such as x-rays and energetic subatomic particles, that are troublesome. Orcoteuthis (talk) 14:12, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see a problem here. If a pulsar planet has an atmosphere dense enough, X-rays are absorbed in the upper layers of it and converted into light. This may give energy for a biosphere like ours. --Inmodus (talk) 14:42, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
