Talk:Split pin

message: An R-clip is just another name for a cotter pin. As such, the article should be combined. Wizard191 (talk) 15:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The R-clip article is intended to describe the specific "R"-shaped device. Although the R-clip can indeed function as a type of "cotter pin" it is not synonymous with this role. It seems the term "cotter pin" is used more generically (for "R-clips" as well as "split pins") and ambiguously (in the case of uk bycycles). In view of this I suggest that rather than merging the specifics of "R-clip" into "cotter pin", that the "cotter pin" article should be split into a more generic/overview/disambiguation "cotter pin" article and specific "split pin" and "R-pin" articles. Chris Cross (talk) 16:43, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps you are right. Maybe there should be a short cotter pin article that explains the different means and provides links to split pin and R-clip. As a side point, I've never heard of an R-clip before, I've always called them a "hairpin cotter pin". Wizard191 (talk) 17:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: a) What is the wiki protocol for closing this merge proposal (one way or another)? b) I will create redirects for known R-clip synonyms such as "hairpin cotter pin". (Aside: It seems very unfortunate that the wiki does not have explicit support for synonyms.) Chris Cross (talk) 22:26, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merge from [[R-clip]] 

message: May I please propose a recast of this article; it appears that one common term is being used for several different engineering fastenings (none of which is "right" and all of which are correct!). Three objects are being squeezed into one definition and each needs to be explained and defined without any particular national bias – as befits an international effort.
I would like to balance the article to accommodate all usages of the term cotter pin, be it American or British.  Churchill recognised a universal trans-Atlantic heritage—divided by a common language—and I would suggest that British and American usage of the word Fanny refers.

replies: text: I don't know if you saw the discussion above (in the "splitting" section), but we just went through and split these articles because it was tough to structure a good article when trying to describe two different types of pins. Moreover, the naming differences between the US and UK only complicated things more. There is not one universal broad term that covers both types of pins.

Talk:Higher dimension

message: I believe "higher dimension"'s meaning is context dependend. In some it may mean "higher than 3", in others "higher than 5". On top of that I don't think an article can be written about this vague term. --MarSch 11:01, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, well, I think there are many people who do not have a clue about what "four dimensions" are, and it would be nice to have an article accessible to (non-mathematical) grade-school and high-school students that reviews the concept of dimension, in both math and physics, in a lively way. The current article dimension is a bit dry and unapproachable beyond the first few paragraphs. On the other hand, I wouldn't object to a VfD/merge, as this article is ... lacking ...   linas 14:19, 9 September 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Warpcore

message: I don't reckon we need to merge the two.   Granted there are similar pieces of imformation on both, but if we hyperlink the two together, using both their introductions ('capable of producing sufficient energy to power a [warpdrive]...' and then 'A warpdrive is powered by a matter, antimatter reaction in a [warpcore]...) then that might work.

Talk:Kirby series enemies

message: Correct me if I'm wrong, but is this Cook Kawasaki from the Kirby Super Star game or a completely different enemy? I was just wondering because I never saw a section on him. Kuribo 03:05, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cookin?

message: This page, along with the rest of the Kirby series lists, needs some pics, as some (like Apollo, Balloon Bomber, Benny, Bivolt, Blipper, Blockin, Bo, Bobbin, Bouncy Ty, Bronto Burt, Twizzy, and Tookey, etc. ) are confusing. The page also needs alot of editing to be in the proper writing style with Wikipedia, and some parts ignore some games completely.--Jai Soun 20:08, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

message: What is the source of all this information? Some games have the enemies in the credits, but games like Squeak Squad don't. The external links section  no longer exists. 71.198.149.190 02:28, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Source?

message: There are more constructive ways to deal with it than deleting information that you don't feel is 'worthy'. We could split it into smaller alphabetical sections. But just because an enemy has only appeared in one game doesn't make it less important. Some of the most well known enemies have only appeared in one game. (See: Many of the enemies in Kirby Super Star.)
If no one has a problem, I'll divide the page into 2-3 alphabetical pages instead.

replies: text: Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Many projects set criteria - under what logic does a species which does not exist outside of one game equal a "series enemy"? - A Link to the Past (talk) 04:10, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey, other series list one-shot enemies on their respective pages, such as Mario series enemies. Does your "logic" deem that those bits of information are unecessary as well? - DisasterKirby 04:35, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

text: You just set your own criteria without asking anyone else's opinion though. A lot of us have been working on the Kirby section for a long time before you came around. Having the name and small blurb for each enemy doesn't hurt anyone. Seriously, why does it bother you so much? Better to have complete info than random bits missing.

Talk:John E. Baldwin

message: John Baldwin was a fellow of Queens' from 1956 to 1974 (he supervised me when I did Part2 Nat. Sci 1967/8 :-)). He relinquished his fellowship for a time, but rejoined in 1989, and since 1999 has held a life fellowship (details from Queens' College record, on line). I _believe_ he matriculated as a Queensman (the 1951 date).

thread_title: Other rods

message: I think without citation the sub-title "In Islam" is very vague and the article would do better without it. Moreover plenty of citations for the Moses' rod could be found in Quran so there is no need for Aaron's rod context and that too is a funny one!
Agreed - I replaced the quote, however there is material in all sections of the article that relate more to Moses's staffs than to Aaron's.- WMHS--WMHS 05:38, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  In Islam... 

message: Some older carvings of Jesus on sarcophogi depict Jesus performing miracles with a rod in his hand (if not a scroll). Could this be another connection to the staff of Moses or Aaron?
:Yes, that would be Aaron's Rod. Christ is reffered to as the New Covenant, and the Covenant was inside of the Ark of the Covenant. Aaron's rod was one of the items inside the Ark. --Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 00:29, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: When more people take interest in this page I suggest removing the section regarding hyperreality. While it is worthy of discussion, it does not need to be in the first paragraph and is highly debatable and unprovable. 
I am a retailer and agree that facing lends to a cleaner store than one in which shelved products that have been handled or removed by customers are left as is. But facing's other primary purpose is to serve the customer by making all available options obvious. If one product is displayed at the front of a shelf (easy to see, grab, read, etc.) and a similar competing product is in the back of the shelf it is a disservice to the customer to have them spend extra time reaching in to examine that product. Most retailers, I think, would argue that the ease of use of their store would contribute to more customer satisfaction and financial success than purposeful attempts at "hyperreality." 
The idea that facing is used as an attempt to create a hyperreality that is a promise for endless supply of identical product does not hold up in many real-world applications. The frontline associates in the store I manage are selectively encouraged to "dirty up" some of our stacks of product to give the idea that the product is popular and many customers before them have made the choice to purchase this product. (Similar to apparel stores not always constantly refolding items on table displays). With data we have collected (that would never pass for scientifically-sound data!) this works better for many products than a rigis, "hyperreal" display.

Talk:Bodø Main Air Station

message: Some errors in this texst! 
Bodø didn't have a airfild before 1940, until then only seaplanes was used to traffic Bodø. 
The reason to the british needed was not the need of protection its convoys to Murmansk! During the norwegian campaign the UK was not an allied to the Sovietunion! Therefor the british hardly needed an airfild at Bodø to support convoys! The reason of the buildin of the runway was an atempt to disturbe German air-superiority, which was most important to get munition and supplies to the German forces surounded in the Battle of Narvik.
It was common to build runways of wooden board in 1940!
 
The airfild of 1940 was outdated in 1945. It was not until 1950 that the norwegian defence department decided to build an new and modern airfield for jetfighters. But the new airfield was built at a new location south-west of the old and abandoned runway.
There is a difference between this text and the one concerning the civilian airport. The runway lenght in this text is the previous lenght before the extention in 05/06. The lenght mentioned in the civilian text is correct.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.48.124.146 (talk) 18:50, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
