Talk:HMS Formidable (67)

message: Hobbs gives 157 lives lost in Gray's sinking of Amakusa, while our own article on Amakusa refers to sources which list 71 casualties. This article reconciles the figures by identifying 157 as the total casualties among the Japanese ships sunk at Onagawa Bay. Choess (talk) 19:58, 18 October 2014 (UTC)

message: "At least some of Formidable's 4.5-inch guns did actually fire off one salvo in what was one of the few occasions in the Second World War in which an aircraft carrier fired her main armament at enemy warships."

Talk:Gary Russell

message: An anon recently edited this article to say that Russell is moving on to the BBC.  Is this correct?  (I've been too busy to check the OG forum lately, so for all I know it could be.)  If it is right, in what capacity will he be working for the Beeb?  Or is this just a reference to "The Inside Story" (which I wouldn't think of as "working for the BBC", any more than he was "working for New Line Cinema when he wrote those Lord of the Rings behind-the-scenes books). —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 16:58, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

text: An anonymous edit last night (since reverted) said, "he stepped down to replace Helen Raynor as script editor on the new television series of Doctor Who". That has been very widely rumoured in fan circles and I don't doubt that it's true, but it does not as yet appear to be verifiable, so I guess we either leave discussion here until someone finds an appropriate citation or put it on the article page with a fact tag.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Fios, Inc.

message: I fail to see why I'm being targetted as someone who is 'advertising' for companies I have knowledge on.  I see no 'advertisial' language being used.  In fact, I made sure to proofread several times so that it would come across as not having any sort of bias in the language being used.  I think I accomplished a fair, neutral entry for a company that is a major player in the Electronic Evidence industry.
In regards to Robin Johnson's comment, if that individual spent more than ten seconds doing a little research and looking at Fios' main site, they would see that those individuals are indeed employed there.  I'm sorry that the people mentioned have other entries for their names - I was unsure on how to specificy that they weren't the people in those entries but felt the need to at least address the "higher ups" working for the company.
I would appreciate it if someone were to address why this entry is being targetted as being an 'advertisement.'  I would happily eliminate any sort of 'advertising talk' if there were any to speak of.  Am I being unfairly treated here just because I made several entries for companies I have knowledge about?

:I'm afraid the answer is very simple.  Since it fails WP:CORP it can only be an advertisement, pretty much by definition.  If you can cite external sources as described in WP:CORP then it ceases to fail it.  If not then it tends also to be classified as Original Research which also gets deleted.
:I think the comment about Robin Johnson falls short on civility.  I think everyone understands that you are a new editor and this has all happened in rather a rush, but please be more temperate in comments.

replies: text: BBC Genome - which goes up to 2009 - shows that it was, in fact, repeated in 1971 and 1992. Although some episodes of the 1970 series were repeated extensively between the mid-1980s and 2009, others were almost as absent as Absent Friends, re-appearing only two or three times in the same time period (e.g. Put That Light Out! in 1992 and 2001, or The Two And A Half Feathers in 1985 and 1996). It's also the case that many of the repeats were sporadic and often out of sequence, so it's hard to determine a true picture. Nick Cooper (talk) 16:13, 25 January 2019 (UTC)

message: The article says vaguely (as does the Radio Times) "the black and white film frames actually contain the original colour data"...how - where? DavidFarmbrough (talk) 01:29, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay in very brief terms a colour television picture is actually a very detailed black and white picture with a cruder colour overlay. The two components are separate. When the black & white version (and many other telerecordings) were made, interference from the colour signal manifested itself as "chroma dots" embedded in the film. These can produce interference when played back electronically, but are usually filtered out by modern telecine operators. (There was, in fact, a filter device that could be used to stop the chroma dots forming back in the 1970s, but the problem was considered so minor it wasn't used when making many telerecordings. There's at least one Doctor Who episode that only exists in black & white that doesn't have the dots.) This Guardian article explains the basics: http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2008/mar/06/research.bbc Note that it's from much earlier in the year when the recovery process was much less advanced.
