Talk:State of charge

message: I removed the moresources tag, as there are some 373,000 google matches of this exact phrase.  (SOC) State Of Charge is a term used so widely that I'm hard pressed to site a single Reliable sources WP:RS.

thread_title:  Not specific to automotive 

message: The second sentence of the article says, "The units of SoC are percentage points.."   A unit of charge, when discussing batteries, is Amp-hours. But isn't relative charge (Amp-hours/Amp-hours) unitless? Or is it, as in the case of decibels, that putting a unitless ratio, without a reference quantity, through a log transform by definition produces a number followed by a unit (deciBel or "dB")?

When Robert Berdahl resigned in 2004 as chancellor of UC Berkeley, he was given a yearlong leave at his chancellor's salary with the understanding he would return to teaching.
Now Berdahl says he'll leave in May -- after teaching one semester -- to run an academic trade group. But UC officials said he won't have to pay back the $355,000 he earned on leave because UC made an "exception to policy.

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: Moved with slight modifications.

Marder (midget submarine)).   estar8806 (talk) ★ 18:43, 22 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Neger →  – I propose moving the current page to Neger torpedo and move the page Neger to Neger (disambiguation) as per WP:COMMON and WP:PRIMARYTOPIC. "Neger" and "Negerin" is negro and negress (or colloquially the N-word) in German. It is not a torpedo. The torpedo might be named "Neger" due to its color. Another (in)famous example for using "Neger" as black is for Waldemar Dammer, known as "Neger Waldi", a black brothel owner who was killed by Werner Pinzner. Thus, I do not think the torpedo is primary topic FuzzyMagma (talk) 14:58, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

text: Support, but with a slight difference.  I would suggest "Neger torpedo", because putting something in parentheses is normally for disambiguation.  There is no other article using the word "Neger" in its title, so it's not really a disambiguation.  However, the current title doesn't satisfy WP:PRECISION:  "titles should unambiguously define the topical scope of the article".  "Neger" doesn't tell the reader what the article is about.  "Neger torpedo" gives a clear indication of the subject.  Mr Serjeant Buzfuz (talk) 15:53, 15 October 2023 (UTC)

message: A fine article, long and detailed. But some parts read as though they were written by someone promoting the school, rather than by an objective outsider. The entire Philosophy section reads like the kind of thing one would find on the school's own website. These elements may be factual, but they need to be represented as subjective matters, expressed from the point of view of the school, not as objective facts (i.e. "The school describes its philosophy as..." rather than "the Sacred Heart system is better than other systems because it focuses upon the whole person, intellectually, spiritually...").

Talk:Tiller

message: Parts of the article "tiller of a boat" regarding RMS Titanic and large steamships, (far below) are incorrect. When an officer said hard-a-starboard, that meant turn the tiller clockwise to starboard, the ship would then go to port. As depicted in the Titanic movie and actual events.
At the time of the Titanic disaster, steering orders were still given in concurrence with an old tradition. Early ships were steered with an oar and then later with a tiller that would control the rudder. In order to turn to starboard you would turn the tiller to port and vice-versa. So if an officer said hard-a-starboard, that meant turn the tiller to starboard and the ship would go to port. During the early 18th century, the wheel was introduced. Now turning the wheel to port would steer the ship to port, but the old orders stayed the same - i.e., if an officer said hard-a-starboard (as in the movie), the helmsman would turn to port; in essence the helmsman had to turn in the opposite direction to what the officer had said. Confusing? Yes, but this was finally corrected in Britain on January 1st, 1933 when hard-to-port finally meant turn to port and hard-to-starboard finally meant to starboard.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.241.137.116 (talk) 21:53, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It's difficult to believe that this continued so long without a resolution. So to augment the above comment by 207.241.137.116, I'll give this despite it being arguably TLDR.
McFarlane Gray patented his steering engine in 1855; it was employed in the Great Eastern which was, at the time, one of the largest and most powerful ships afloat.   Some years later, Gray stated specifically "The principal thing that I did was to make an automatic controlling valve, continuous in its action.  To put a handle to where  you wanted something to move to had been done before, but I saw that that would not do for steering.  I therefore contrived the differential movement of the reversing valve, by which the rudder or other object to be moved would be made to follow the movement of the controlling wheel or lever."
As time passed, the purely steam system evolved further, incorporating such things as hydraulics and a form of telegraphy.
As the comment noted, the language did not catch up to the linkage until about the 1930's.  It is a fact that the Titanic's wheel, like that of the Olympic, had to be turned in the same direction that it was intended the ship should move towards, although the order to turn the wheel would have seemed to be contrary to somebody who was not aware of this.  "Hard to port" meant "Turn the wheel to starboard", and vice versa.2602:306:B83B:CC60:6D99:D2CA:D78D:57AD (talk) 01:50, 21 March 2016 (UTC)
