message: I'm fairly sure the phenomenon of heat being moved from one side to the other when current flows is the Peltier effect; the phenomenon of current being generated by a differential temperature across the thermocouple is the Seebeck effect.

Talk:Via Hibiki

message: Good idea.  This is a very minor character. Edward321 03:41, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Via Hibiki should be merged into List of Gundam SEED characters, because the character is a minor character who only appears in one episode of Gundam SEED and in the photos that Kira and Cagalli obtain. Also the information available on this character is limited, so this article probably won't expand much from its current state. And based on Wikipedia:Notability (fiction), this character does not warrant her own article. --Silver Edge 05:54, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Dors Venabili

message: "In fact, Seldon only finally admits to himself that his wife is a robot at the time of her death,"  I disagree:  "So you see, Hari. [sic]  I'm not really what you want." ... "Dors, dear, even so, I don't care."  This follows her saying that she had never felt love.  (p. 434  of PtFBantam 1991).  Now, the word "robot" is not spoken here, it seems pretty obvious.  On the previous page, we've read just after a discussion of R. Daneel Olivaw (a disguised robot):  "You are a different kind of helper".  "In what way?  Hari, say it.  If you hear yourself say it, you will realize how crazy it is." ..."I will not say it because . . . [sic] I don't care."  He continues:  "I will take you as I must.  You are Dors and, whatever else you are, in all the world I want nothing else."Kdammers 06:53, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Protect Ya Neck

message: Posse Cut
That's not a necessarily true history of the posse cut.  Scenario by A Tribe Called Quest featured four different emcees, back and forth within verses, and it came out over a year earlier.  Plus, it absolutely killed.  There was also Buddy by De La Soul, coming out in 1989.
"Protect Ya Neck (The Jump Off)" is not a "different version" - it's a completely different song by the same title.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.62.192.202 (talk) 03:06, 7 December 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Telephone numbers in Oceania

message: I have kept the 2001-2002 Newcastle telephone book specifically because it contains a list of the exchange prefixes that existed in the area at that time. In other words, a 2-page list of which prefixes applied to which exchanges. It was the only year that this information was published in the white pages and I'd like to find out if other area phone books also had this information.
One notable point is that the exchange prefixes can be 4, 5 or 6 digits, leaving 4, 3 or 2 digits of actual number. This is at odds with the description that was on this page, so I've reworded it accordingly.
I'm tempted to wikify that list, even though it is going to be at least partly out of date due to additional prefixes having been added. Comments? --Athol Mullen 07:31, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Zorro (1957 TV series)

message: The article says: "The character's name in Johnston McCulley's writing and previous adaptations was Diego Vega; the Disney version expands the name to Diego de la Vega, an innovation retained in some subsequent versions of the story."
However, Zorro contradicts this: "In McCulley's later stories, Diego's surname became de la Vega. In fact, the writer was wildly inconsistent."
(note: McCulley's books were way before this series)
I think this inconsistency should be resolved. I am inclined to believe Zorro over this article, but having no knowledge of the question, I won't make the edit myself.My name is Jasper (talk) 18:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Ethnologue (19th ed.) gives the number of speakers as 10.9 million, and Nationalencyklopedin (2010) gives 11.1 million.  However, the population of Nanping prefecture, which includes all the Northern Min area, as well as areas speaking other varieties, was 2.6 million in the 2010 census, so it seems likely that there are fewer than 2 million speakers.  Perhaps Ethnologue and Nationalencyklopedin confused it with Eastern Min, which used to be called "Northern Min", or their figure conflates Northern and Eastern Min, even though they also give a separate figure for Eastern Min.

thread_title:  Inventions 

message: The more detailed account from the Fox Boy book by Walker makes it clear that that there WAS a significant British attack (during the night). I have not included all the details -but the Maori defenders were attacked prior to the main attackthe day before, in a gully that the government forces wished to use as an approach route. Maori disputed the approach and there was a hot running battle for some time which forced Maori out of the gully. 
What makes the illegal fornication story questionable as a reason for the flight of the Maori is the time table is tight. The peak of the battle was at 3am and the battle continued until daybreak, with the British approaching at dawn. This was the NZ summer ,so dawn was say 6am and by then the pa was deserted.So when did the dirty dead take place? It was a standard tactic of Maori to build a pa and often leave it after a token defence. No evidence is presented about ammunition, guns, food or lack there of. It is very clear that Maori were outgunned and outnumbered. It is quite possible that Maori were low on food ammunition etc. It may be they just got frightened and took off. This would not be the first time this had happened. In the Battle of Rangiriri in 1863 more than 60% of the defenders took off in the middle of the night ie  during the battle. The "Maori" reason given was they needed to plant crops! This apparently was a split in the loyalties of the various iwi ie Maniapoto took off as it was not their land so they felt it was ok to leave. One of the things we know about the young Belich is that he was  weak on his military research and knowledge -making some outlandish statements about Maori fortifications that have been roundly condemned by military historians. Anything at all could have resulted in a loss of heart-though nominally christian the Maori mind was easiy swayed by "signs"or what we would call bad luck. If something happened to a leader the people would lose heart immediately and become totally deflated.
: Would you care to supply a reference to back up your assertion that "the Maori mind was easiy swayed"? Or, even better, find a reference anywhere to back up the assumption inherent in the preceding statement that there is any difference between a Māori mind and a Pākehā mind? If there is any such finding in a scientific journal, I'm surprised it hasn't set the whole science community on its head. Daveosaurus (talk) 05:35, 12 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:LeRoc

message: To write a word in all capitals (i.e. LEROC) wouldn't be a variant of the word. If that were so, people could easily bypass existing valid trademarks by just changing the case of random letters in the word! So I'm sorry, but I've had to undo the most recent update, because the reference didn't actually prove the trademark. Besides, the link was already on this discussion page - clearly showing that only the logos have a trademark registered against them - not the word itself. As can also been seen below, there has been some discussion with the IPO to ensure clarification of the trademark.
Should the article mention Billy's trademark? I personally don't think so. The trademark belongs to just one organisation and has been registered to promote that business, which is fair enough. However, there are hundreds of other modern jive classes, many of which also use the terms "LeRoc", "LEROC" or "Leroc" to describe the dance that they do. In my opinion, the Wikipedia article should be neutral, and show no bias to one particular class.
