Talk:Shouldice Hernia Centre

message: Before I went in the Shouldice I did a literature search for information about success of different types of hernia surgery. In the end I agreed with one article which said there is no real evidence of the efficacy of different types of surgery. For example, there is little or no evidence about the success of different types of surgery with different types of hernia, or with repairs of varying difficulty. The Shouldice also does not provide information about the percentage of applicants it refuses to treat. For example, overweight patients are required to lose weight – how many of them end up losing the weight and getting treatment?
The prevailing opinion seems to be that the Shouldice does better than other places, but that the difference is not as marked as it or this article claims. A failure rate of 10% to 15% is much higher than anything I found in any of the studies I looked at.
I do believe the Shouldice should serve as a model for Ontario health care. It would be easy enough to set up publicly funded versions of the Shouldice, not only for hernias but for high-volume surgeries like hip replacement. I also was impressed when I was there by the way the hospital is run. Everything was explained to patients in detail at the outset, and the day of surgery was very efficiently organized. And I met a fellow who'd been referred there because no one else in Canada would treat his unusual hernia, so that argues for the superiority of the Shouldice.
However, I think the statement about relative success rates should be moderated a bit, and it should note that the recurrence rate for the Shouldice is estimated by the hospital itself and not, as far as I know, by independent researchers. If I'm wrong about that, let me know. John FitzGerald 00:05, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

message: Shouldice is a surgical operation for hernia repair. .  Shouldn't it have its own page?  It is quite well known.  This hernia centre was named after the operation (or at least the person who invented it). Myrrideon (talk) 01:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

message: It appears that this article is out of date, as the hospital was sold a few months ago (~ September 2012).  I don't really have the effort to do the research to update this article.

message: This article is too long and may need to be cut a bit. Someone should try to figure out what has the most relevance to the subject and delete anything that isn't of major importance. Also, I reworded the introduction and a bit of the first section, but it is clear that this article needs some good copy-editing, possibly by more than one person. Atellus 00:07, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yup.  I copied it nearly verbatim from A Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities, which was published in 1870.  Lots of good info, but it badly needs cleanup.  As for splitting it, I would suggest splitting off census info to Roman census, which is perhaps the section with the most room for expansion. —Simetrical (talk • contribs) 04:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Seven years later (sigh) …  Agree with length concerns, and the article is awfully technical in a depressing way. What should probably happen is a split into Roman censor and Roman census. It would be entirely possible to handle trappings of the office, for instance, and how it changed under the Empire under Roman censor, and keep a discussion of what the census was for, how it was conducted and so on, separate. The Regimen morum and the nota could be a spinoff, too, and reduced to a summary section in either article as needed. Cynwolfe (talk) 01:34, 26 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Distance modulus

message: I've removed this from the list of GA self nominations for a few reasons. The article is rather short, it's basically a definition and examples. All references are tangential, merely verifying that the examples given are factual. How did the concept of the distance modulus arise? How did it become standard?
In the case of the LMC, this means that the supernova SN1987A, with a peak apparent magnitude of 2.8, had an absolute magnitude of -15.7 - fairly low by supernova standards. — How the reader supposed to understand that this follows? More importantly, is it germane to the article? Pagrashtak 00:12, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Failed GA

message: As the luminosity of an object is an intrinsic property of it, it will not vary with distance to an observer. That is why it is confusing to state an inverse square law for luminosities. Instead, one should say that the flux or irradiance of the object adheres to the inverse square law, as the flux / irradiance *does* depend on the distance from which the source is observed. This is in accordance to Wikipedia's descriptions of luminosity and irradiance. (In astronomy, 'flux' is more common, although there does not seem to exist a page dedicated to flux in the astronomical sense.) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Martijn Oei (talk • contribs) 16:23, 3 October 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge with Cubicle Desk? 

message: I was an engineering student in the 1960's. You missed a discovery by Herman Miller Inc. Robert Propst denied he invented the cubicle in a magazine article. His floor plan was an open office, the "Action Office". When the "Action Office 1" was introduced, 1964, workers using it began to have mental breaks. The problem was the vision startle reflex. The cubicle was an outgrowth of that discovery.  Today's cubicle blocks peripheral vision so that a concentrating worker cannot subliminally detect threat-movement. Repeating failed attempts to trigger the startle reflex will eventually color thought and reason. The "Action Office System" was introduced in 1968.
You are correct that there were other room divider schemes going back in history. But those were not cubicles. Cubicles are designed so that they can be put together only one way to provide Cubicle Level Protection They are manufactured as "systems furniture."
The 'cubicle desk' entry is a nonsense post. The author of that page has been told by several people that the entry is false. Each time someone edits it he reverts to his text without penalty. You will find links to the articles and other information on the Modern Cubicle page at VisionAndPsychosis.Net. The problem that caused mental breaks is named for the normal feature of human physiology that allows it to happen, "Subliminal Distraction." The full explanation is longer.

Talk:Ramza Beoulve

message: ...But I feel rather strongly that this level of detail is a little excessive for our purposes. Final Fantasy Tactics, as much as I love it, is a relatively minor installment of the series, and this article does very little to assert Ramza's notability outside of the game. Mostly, it's an extremely lengthy plot summary, which doesn't really seem appropriate for an encyclopedia. I would like to request that the article be transferred to the Final Fantasy Wiki, and the redirect to List of Final Fantasy Tactics characters be reinstated. – Seancdaug 03:01, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, there's the FF Wiki. It works in much the same way as Wikipedia: same software, same registration procedures, etc. You can certainly contribute it anonymously, or you can register a username. There's no fancy automated way to do the transfer, so it's pretty much just a quick-'n-dirty copy and paste job. Some of the links may need to be modified (though there's not that many in this article, which makes matters simpler), and the image will need to be transferred as well, but that shouldn't be too difficult. The only other thing to note is that the GFDL requires that we make note of the contribution history: at this stage, since you're the only editor to have put any work into the article, if you do the transfer, it shouldn't require any additional effort. There's more detail on the process at Wikipedia:Transwiki, and I'm willing to answer any other questions you may have, as well. – Seancdaug
I just checked out the Final Fantasy Wiki.  It looks much different then here, and it looks as though certain destination-less links will not allow editing (Alma, for starters).  What's going on?  I thought a wiki allowed viewers to edit most pages.  I am wondering if this article will fare well on that site. Roy Al Blue 03:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The way they've set things up is slightly different, and it can be a bit confusing. If you're doing a search for a non-existant article, there should be a redlink near the top of the results, in the line that says "Results 1 - 1 of 1 on this Wikicity for: ...." Clicking on it will take you to a "(There is currently no text in this page)" article, which just means that the article doesn't exist. You can then click the "edit" link and create the article as you will. To make things easier, a direct link to edit the article on Ramza over there is here. – Seancdaug 03:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
