Talk:Vasily Alekseyev

message: Vasily Alekseyev said that he was warming up and the Soviet coach gave him some re-hydration drink that was not re-hydration drink but something toxic to performance.  Do you think it's true?  We're the coaches bribed to give him a glass of toxic liquid to keep him from making his lifts?  What was the liquid?  Alcohol?  Something else?﻿  Look what he said in this documentary.  Start the Video at 8:05 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS7DsrynWWo Qewr4231 (talk) 11:57, 2 February 2017 (UTC)

Talk:David Byrne (album)

message: I have to say I find all these contrived mentions of "styled XYZ" in articles quite silly. (Like how the Friends article used to say "stylized as F•R•I•E•N•D•S" because the on-screen title included some decorative dots, even though they obviously weren't part of the name and no-one ever referred to it like that, unlike (say) M*A*S*H.)
In this case, the article claims the title is styled as "davidenryd". Well, if you really want to make that point, no, it's not. You've represented the "b" of "byrne" backwards as a "d", but all the other letters are the right way round. It's not "enryd", it's "byrne" mirrored. (How would this be shown? Beats me- I wasn't the one who wanted it included!)
Either way though, making a deal of this is pointless blurring of the line between graphical design and the title proper. Unless someone has officially implied this is the title, I'd leave it out.

Talk:Vasilios Kotronias

message: "Kotronias has repeatedly shared popular conspiracy theories on his social medial accounts, arguing that number of deaths is inflated and that the disease is not as dangerous as presented"
Why are his statements brushed off as "conspiracy theories?" According to research performed by Minnesota State Senator Dr. Scott Jensen, the number of deaths has likely been inflated; many people are alleged to have died from the virus but upon further investigation autopsies were never performed, or these people had multiple co-morbidities and it was impossible to determine cause of death with certainty. A more accurate characterization might be that a significant number of people died with the virus rather than from it.  There are also credible arguments put forward by Heather McDonald et al. that the virus (not sure if it qualifies as a "disease," e.g. the virus is not cancer) may not in fact be as dangerous as initially presented and society's reaction to it has been hysterical, a classic case of fear-mongering and overreaction on the part of governments, businesses, health agencies, et al.  
Not presenting both/all sides of an argument fairly, but instead dismissing views its editors don't agree with as "conspiracy theories," is a major reason why Wikipedia is regarded as more and more left-wing. Tpkatsa (talk) 16:15, 8 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Since most countries have a high excess mortality to say that it's "not as dangerous as presented" is a strong denial of facts. What does that have to do with right wing / left wing? Regarding Jensen it turned out that he couldn't provide proof for his speculations. So being scientific is left wing and guessing around is right wing in your opinion? --Gereon K.

Talk:Dear Friends (radio program)

message: I see several problems with the "Episodes" list in this article:
*  These dates were Wednesdays; including the first and last, there were 22 such Wednesdays. Perhaps they took one week (Christmas?) off.
*Why then are only 12 "Episode" discs listed? Where are the other 9?
*Why aren't the "Episodes" numbered chronologically? Where did these "Episode numbers" come from?
*Where did this list come from? The LPs were created for the purpose of distributing the program to syndicated radio stations, and not commercially released.
*The "Jefferson and the Mason" track is labeled 10/18/71, which falls outside the range 09/16/1970 to 02/17/1971. Is this a typo (10/18/70), or are some of these tracks from the other KPFK FST shows (Firesign Theatre Radio Hour and Let's Eat)? 10/18/71 is a Monday; 10/18/70 was a Sunday. 10/18/72 was a Wednesday. I remember this skit quite clearly being included on the Dear Friends (Firesign Theatre album). There the skit is titled "$100 Ben" and is dated 1/24/70.
*The article says the shows were one hour (with commercials). One would expect an entire disk (approximately 44 minutes) would be used for each show, which would seem to match the average rate of commercials (though on today's television, not radio). What would the commercial density have been for a listener-sponsored FM station in 1970–71?
. How do we explain "Episode #8" and "Episode #12" which say each side was a different show? 
In short, this "Episodes" list doesn't match what we would expect to see from what the article claims to cover, the Dear Friends show from 1970 to 1971, syndicated on LP discs. WTF ???? JustinTime55 (talk) 16:57, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I'am some what curious. Which animal do the bone come from???
Curious.
If we *must* include a link for 'synthetic' can we make sure to pick the right one?  "Synthetic bone ash" is a material chemically very similar to bone ash but prepared from non-bone sources. - Jaeger5432 16:02, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I've renamed the Machining section because the stated uses better fit aluminium and copper foundries. Except for the use as a polishing compound, everything makes more sense in the context of proximity to molten metals. For example, powder coating using bone ash would require refractory metal substrates, because even high alloy steels would melt before the bone ash did. I think they're describing a thermal barrier coating or release agent for foundry implements, http://www.ebonex.com/boneash.html , https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007%2F978-3-319-48228-6_135 , and https://www.sonac.biz/markets/other-markets/sonac-bone-ash/ match that usage.
I don't dispute the use of bone ash as a polishing compound in machine shops. I've never used it, and I can't find anything referencing its use as an abrasive, but at least it's possible.
