Talk:Women's Party (UK)

message: I have added details of Christabel Pankhurst's 1918 candidacy in Smethwick, but I have placed a  tag beside the assertion that she stood as a candidate in 1919.  There was no general election that year, so I presume that this must refer to a by-election, but there was no by-election in Smethwick in 1919 Craig () does not index her against any other constituency. Maybe she stood in a council election, but if so this needs clarification.
I suspect that the source for this may be the Schoolnet article on Christabel Pankhurst, which states that
This appears to me to be wrong. --BrownHairedGirl (talk)  • (contribs) 15:02, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It looks like  may explain much of this confusion; she was selected as the PPC for the Abbey constituency in 1919, but presumably William Burdett-Coutts survived longer than expected, or despite ill health, chose not to resign.  Either way, by the time there was a by-election, the Women's Party had been disbanded and Christabel was immersing herself in religion; the Conservatives decided to stand their own candidate.

message: "HMS Devonshire was the first of the County-class destroyers and the first Batch 1 ship" - if it was the first ship of the class then it was surely also the first ship of the first batch of that class - as it stands it confuses the reader, who thinks that "batch" is something special (eg another ship class or type of ship)! 2003:A:1409:BB00:D41C:EE25:AD5:4316 (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 13:13, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Phantom voltage

message: Justification:  The topic of phantom voltage comes up frequently in web discussion groups.  People working on electrical stuff measure the voltage on a disconnected wire and are confused because they get a reading.  Some web reference is needed to point them to to explain this.
I'm actively seeking some better references.
drh 15:11, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I manually undid the changes by woodturner9, and in the process probably lost some other edits.  There's no scientific basis for attributing ordinary phantom voltage in electrical power wiring to inductive coupling.
Inductive coupling IS a factor in signal wiring, but that's a different topic.  If someone wishes to start a page on that topic and link it to this one that's fine.drh (talk) 12:31, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Undo 

message: To the contrary, inductive coupling is the PRIMARY source of so called "phantom voltage" at low (AC line) frequencies.  It's factually incorrect to refer to this as capacitive coupling.  Engineers have been fighting this misinterpretation for decades, and we shouldn't be adding to the misunderstanding.  There simply is not enough capacitive coupling at frequencies less than 1 KHz or so for any significant capacitive coupling to occur. 
The page as changed refers to capacitance of a cable, citing numbers for NM-B cable.  However, this is the capacitance per unit length, which has nothing to due with the capacitave coupling between two conductors.
Perhaps the best resolution of this dispute is to find some real, definitive references, rather than relying on web pages that may perpetuate the misinformation.  I'll see what I can find.

Talk:Steady state

message: The example of the bathtub is clearly an example about Physics, not Chemical engineering.
Grausvictor (talk) 13:36, 2 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: A chemical engineering system is only marginally more complicated, and I would argue that the added complexity is uneeded in a simple example. In a chemical engineering probelm, considering a mixed bath with steady state in-flow and outflow is a normal problem. Would it be more clear that it is chemical engineering if we instead look at how a bath withtwo inlet flows with different components and one outlet flow eventually cause a steady state composition of the bath (see: Continuous_stirred-tank_reactor)?

Wikipedia talk:Association of Members' Advocates/Teams

message: A team must be proposed before it is created, wait to have three members and then, created... and WP:ASSIST should decide if it wants to be part of AMA or not. --Neigel von Teighen | help with arbs? 17:07, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur that they should perhaps not be listed but not because of your explanation. Your making rules as you go along about the proposal. What if some advocates just want to get together temporarily? If there is a team that wants to be called the SS Hitler RCPatrol Advocates (though the name may be contreversial... I see no reason why, once they have 3 members or more that they shouldn't be concidered a part of the AMAT). I only concur with you because it says that "AMAT members must first be listed as individual advocates but do not necessarilly need to be accepting individual cases." I am not sure if all the members of that team are in fact AMA members, but neither am I sure if the members of the Arb-com team are all members also. Currently they have approx. 17 members at WP:ASSIST. Assides from the above discrepency I think they should be concidered an AMAT. That are performing preciselly the same task. If they are performing the same task then perhaps they are a WP:FORK. They are attempting to be considered seperate but in fact, we should all be working together. A good team leader realizes that he must have "influence, motivate, and enable others to contribute toward the effectiveness and success of the organizations of which they are members". --CyclePat 02:05, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:European Economic and Social Committee

message: I'd suggest removing or significantly shortening the paragraph on its proposed abolition, since it seems unfeasible post-Lisbon, and apparently suggested only by a fringe option, further marginalized after new elections for the European Parliament. Unless there are some other references about this proposal, and nobody disagrees, I think I'll turn that section into a single sentence placed somewhere else.Aryah (talk) 01:05, 25 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that the page (as it stands) is more like propaganda than objective data. It is not a minority view but a generally accepted point (even within Brussels) that the EESC has outlived its usefulness.  In the early days of the EEC, EcoSoc (as one used to call it) brought expert opinion to the attention of the lawmakers.  But for many years the main EU Institutions (Commission, Council & Parliament) have had all and more of the advisers and researchers they need.  The inability of the EU to prune such bodies when appropriate is a major failing.  We need to reintroduce a controversy element and fight any apparatchik tendency.   This is Europe, not North Korea!. Arrivisto (talk) 14:38, 23 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: In September 2011 I wrote a paragraph:  ""While (the EESC) has undoubtedly performed good works in its time, it has been generally felt for some decades that it has outlived its usefulness, and should be dismantled, having served its purpose....  Since then, that section has become a platform for EESC propaganda.  So today, in the interests of balance and the elimination of bias, I have pruned and edited the section, putting the EESC guff in quotes and reintroducing a critique of the EESC.

Talk:Christabel Pankhurst

message: I found a page with a voice recording by Christabel Pankhurst, while browsing the British Library site. The audio clip isn't linked or referenced by the article as far as I can see from a brief look. Someone more familiar with the article may want to add it in, if they consider it relevant.
The page reads "...In 1908 Christabel Pankhurst was sentenced to a period in Holloway prison and this recording is said to have been made a few hours after her release."
The page also has a transcript of the recording, which ends: "We are resolved that 1909 must, and shall, see the political enfranchisement of British women."
Link: Christabel Harriette Pankhurst British Library Online Gallery - Online exhibitions (Voices of history).
In case the page is later removed (e.g. a short-lived online exhibition), I'd think the audio would come up in an British Library Sound Archive catalogue search. Whitehorse1 09:05, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Voice recording 

message: This article has a section entitled 'White feathers' which states:
Her supporters handed the white feather to every young man they encountered wearing civilian dress.
But the 'World War I' section in the White Feather article article states:
Despite Sylvia Pankhurst's assertion to the contrary in her 1931 memoir "The Suffragette Movement", while Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst did both support conscription, there is no documentary evidence linking either of them to the White Feather campaign.
Both claims are unsourced, and the latter appears to imply that the former is an urban myth.  Is anybody aware of any sources that would clarify this?

Template talk:Public parks and gardens in Aberdeen

message: Is there actually any legal basis – or point – in including "commons" in the title of this template? It doesn't list anything actually named a common, and as I understand it, the specific legal rights attached to common land are a concept of English, not Scots, law. Perhaps there is a special meaning in Scots law as well, but it is certainly not mentioned in the linked Wikipedia article on commons. If anybody knows the legal basis, I'd be most grateful to find out, but otherwise, I propose to remove the word from the template because I consider it would be misleading if there is no actual concept of a Scots common. – Kieran T (talk) 15:29, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with the removal. I created this template name after consulting other templates for city parks... probably an English one. I have asked some other people and they agree that commons do not (at least to their or my knowledge) exist in Scotland, I don't know about legality however. I am not 100% sure how to move it so perhaps someone else could. (Bobbacon 15:34, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, I'll go ahead and do that. It's not entirely trivial since every article using the template must have the link changed, but there aren't too many of those so it won't take particularly long. – Kieran T (talk) 15:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Bother. I've just noticed there's a related category, :Category:Parks and commons in Aberdeen, as well. I'll finish the template changes first, so I don't get confused, then return to that. – Kieran T (talk) 15:49, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Post-script: it appears that Edinburgh and Glasgow have similarly-named categories — also, notably, lacking any examples of "commons". I don't have time right now to nominate three categories for renaming and reply to all the arguments which may ensue, so I'm going to leave it for the moment.

Talk:University of the Philippines Madrigal Singers

message: Note that although the Madz indicated on their Friendster profile that they did win in Arezzo, take note that the Arezzo website is NOT updated as of this writing. However, I was able to personally confirm that the Madz won through two independent sources (from their coutourier and from the brother of one of their altos). I got this information early this morning Manila time, which means that the announcement came in late at night in Italy, and it'll be understood that the Arezzo webmaster might still be asleep :P So until the Arezzo competition website becomes updated, please do NOT add this information on the article. Any additions while the Arezzo site is not yet updated will be removed immediately.
