Talk:Tension wrench

message: Shouldn't this article be called "Torsion wrench"?
It seems that "torsion" devolved into "tension" somewhere in years past, perhaps due to word-of-mouth or mishearing the word, but "tension" has nothing to do with the twisting force these tools supply, whereas "torsion" does.  A "tension wrench" by definiton stretches something.  A "torsion wrench" twists something.
:You raise a good point, but it's always been my experiance that these tools are referred to in the trade as tension wrenches. I've never seen the term torsion wrench used Ydam 12:39, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I as well have always heard them referred to as "tension wrenches" but last night my roomate was discussing my tools with me and referred to it as a "torsion wrench" -- this got me interested in the distinction.  I feel we should add to this article at least, offering this alternate phrasing, but doesn't wiki forbid original research?  Is there any citation available for this usage?

message: This and other Wikipedias in other languages have been relentlessly spammed by anonymous IPs based in Israel (where the domain is registered) for many months.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Philosophy/Language/archive

message: Hello! We at the Work via WikiProjects team for Wikipedia 1.0 would like you to identify the "key articles" from your project that should be included in offline releases of Wikipedia based on their importance, regardless of quality. We will use that information to assess which articles should be nominated for Version 1.0 (not yet open) and later versions.  Hopefully it will also help you identify which articles are the most important for the project to work on. As well, please add to your Philosophy/Religion WikiProject article table any articles of high quality. If you are interested in developing a worklist such as this one for your WikiProject, or having a bot generate a worklist automatically for you, please contact us.

thread_title: Key articles for Wikipedia 1.0

message: Hello, all. It was initially my hope to try to have this done as part of Esperanza's proposal for an appreciation week to end on Wikipedia Day, January 15. However, several people have once again proposed the entirety of Esperanza for deletion, so that might not work. It was the intention of the Appreciation Week proposal to set aside a given time when the various individuals who have made significant, valuable contributions to the encyclopedia would be recognized and honored. I believe that, with some effort, this could still be done. My proposal is to, with luck, try to organize the various WikiProjects and other entities of wikipedia to take part in a larger celebrartion of its contributors to take place in January, probably beginning January 15, 2007. I have created yet another new subpage for myself (a weakness of mine, I'm afraid) at User talk:Badbilltucker/Appreciation Week where I would greatly appreciate any indications from the members of this project as to whether and how they might be willing and/or able to assist in recognizing the contributions of our editors.

Re: The questions of other parallel Guide streets vs the true baseline:

Other streets that follow or parallel the meridian
    In Whatcom County, Washington, near Birch Bay, Washington, Jackson Road south of the bay, and Harborview Road north of the bay, both follow the meridian for a total of about five miles.
    In Whatcom County, Washington, Guide Meridian Road (State Route 539) is named after the Guide Meridian between R2E and R3E, 12 miles east of the Willamette Meridian.
