message: Even though impedance sounds more technical and cool, the current from a defibrillator is DC so the resistance is DC resistance, not impedance. Thats why I've changed it. This is also true in a biphasic defib because its biphasic, not sinusoidal. --Eh-Steve 05:34, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Request for comment

message: I appreciate that this has been discussed before, but it was 2 years ago, and since then, there has been little divergence in the articles, and i think there is a strong case for merging them.  I have done a basis for the updated page in my sandbox: User:Owain.davies/Defibrillation
Please have a look before making a decision, but i think that the new combined article brings it altogether in a much better format.  A few improvements, and i think this could then be a GA grade candidate, which seems unlikely for either of the existing articles.
I would suggest leaving the Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator page, and for the moment the Automated external defibrillator page, but just merging Defibrillator in to Defibrillation, with the latter being the main page.  
Comments please (if i don't get any, i'll do it in a week or so)

Non-notable game music composer. Title is wrong (uncapitalized name).  — Gwalla | Talk 03:36, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Delete 

message: The guy's been writing video game music since at least the early 90s.
He's about as notable as Hitoshi Sakimoto (they're actually a close friends, and business partners)
He's a popular composer in the shmup community, and is fairly active in the chiptune scene. He's not just some yahoo who wrote the music for a single game, as he scores several projects each year. All of his music inspires fan remixes, and his name is thrown around quite a bit when naming video game composers. In any case, anyone wanting to get more information about him can definitely make use of at least the links provided at the bottom of the page. 
I could understand if someone wanted to incorporate it into a page of Japanese video game composers, but he's worked too many projects to just throw him off of Wikipedia entirely.

(that wasn't me; and I wasn't the one who put it into a table) if there's a reference for labelling the fibers as "slow-twitch, fast-twitch A(type I), fast-twitch B(type II)" then okay, but otherwise, I've only ever seen "slow-twitch(type I or ST), fast-twitch A(type IIa or FTA), fast-twitch B(type II or FTB)" so I fixed it.

Wikipedia talk:Manual of Style/Spelling/Archive 1

message: I fail to see why the spelling Anglicization might jar (Wikipedia Manual of Style). My understanding is that the suffix -ize (and thus  -ization and -izing) is normal in American English but in British English one has a choice betweeen -ize and -ise. However, the Oxford English Dictionary and its offshoots strongly recommend -ize, and the OED presents a good argument in its favor. Since this spelling convention is compatible with American English it would make sense to employ it consistently in preference to -ise. To quote the OED: "as the pronunciation is also with z, there is no reason why in English the special French spelling should be followed, in opposition to that which is at once etymological and phonetic." Shantavira 11:21, 25 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: In British English, "ize" is appropriate for verbs derived from the Greek, although "ise" is permissible. For verbs not derived from the Greek, e.g. advertise, despise, advise, "ise" is the only option. So most people use "ise" all the time for simplicity. Andy G 22:17, 9 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Irrespective of what some dictionaries, many users of British English, Hiberno-English, Indian English and other forms invariably use ise and baulk at ize.

Talk:List of elements by melting point

message: I have a few problems with this list. 
*The first is that you can not define the melting point of a single atom, nor a single molecule. The melting point depends on the on the chemical and crystalline structure: Carbon exists as Graphite and as Diamond, which can have a different metling point . So one should at least give for which structure the metling point is valid.
*Secondly the melting point depends heavily on the pressure, if the figures are measured at atmospheric pressure, this should be mentioned.
Donar Reiskoffer 09:19, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: IIRC, crystalization and allotropic form do result in different physical properties such as melting point. Carbon (as noted) is an example of allotropic effects.

But hey, I'm no chemist. :) --mav 07:43, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)

text: Water is an exception to almost everthing else in this regard; it does (as you indicate) melt at a lower temperature when under pressure. The reason is due to the fact that liquid water has a smaller volume than ice and pressure reduces volume. So reducing the volume of ice breaks down its structure, thus reverting it to a liquid. This is also how ice skates work. --mav 07:43, 29 Nov 2004 (UTC)
