Talk:George Francis Train

message: The bottom of the article states that it "incorporates text" from a book by Allen Foster.  More than merely incorporating, however, this entire section feels like it was copied and pasted directly from that source, reading more like a magazine than an encyclopedia.  As the editor that added this section has only one other article contributed to, and that being a blatant advertisement for another book by Allen Foster, I am concerned that there might be some self-promotion going on here.  --199.80.13.96 22:29, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Conflict with Nellie Bly Page 

message: From the intro: "That year, he was jailed for having defended Victoria Woodhull against obscenity charges..."
Further down, it says he was jailed because of obscenity charges. I don't know enough about the guy to change this, but it doesn't really make any sense. You aren't typically jailed for defending someone in America, even back then. If the obscenity charges were brought because Train was defending Woodhull then the article should really say that instead. 
In addition, the way it is written it makes it sound like Train was acting as Woodhull's lawyer, yet I can find no indication that he was doing that or what his defense of her consisted of. Primium mobile (talk) 17:26, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Acting Awards? 

message: I removed this text from the end of the History section for several reasons:
:
Conan O'Brien has great disdain for the Hasty Pudding Club.
First, how O'Brien feels about the club is irrelevant unless we can explain why it should matter to Wikipedia readers. Random trivia has no place in an encyclopedia just because we think it's interesting.
Second, the cited reference is a 1½-hour-long video on YouTube of a 2016 interview of O'Brien by Harvard's then-president. It is unreasonable to expect any reader to watch the whole video just to find the few seconds when O'Brien talked about the club, in order to verify that he did indeed have "great disdain" for it. At the very least, the exact time in that video when he made the statement should be included in the reference.
Third, even if he did say that, the interview was conducted before a live audience whom O'Brien obviously wanted to entertain. He is a comedian, and comments by comedians are often facetious—even if they seem to be completely serious—and a facetious comment is even less appropriate in an encyclopedia than trivia.
This text should not be restored to the article without considerable enhancement to establish its relevance and significance to the article, and without a much more reliable and objective reference to support it than the comedian's own possibly facetious comment before an audience he wanted to entertain. — 8.9.94.16 (talk) 10:41, 12 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Nizamuddin Auliya

message: I reverted this link today: http://www.mysticsaint.info/2011/10/kun-fayakun-full-meaning-rock-star.html
Two reasons:
1) This is an aggressively religious website, not an objective, neutral, reliable source.  For example: "The song is dedicated to one of the greatest Sufi Saint of the world as well as in India, Hazrat Nizamuddin, may Allah be pleased with him and continue to raise his spiritual rank until the Day of Return."  
2) The translation has gratuitous veneration thrown in, which is not in the original.  For example, line 3 "Qadam badha le" is translated as "Advance your blessed feet. Appear!", when the original only says "Advance your feet."

Talk:Steel Knotts

message: Is Pikeawassa a tor?
The reference to Pikeawassa as a tor is incorrect, and so I have replaced it with the term "a steep rocky pinnacle".
As a technical term, tor is found in geological works always with reference to granite tors, a landform that has been created through the un-roofing of granite rock that had previously been intruded into rocks beneath the surface. For example, see Arthur Holmes, Principles of Physical Geology, London: Thomas Nelson, 1965 (1944), p 615; Peter Toghill, Geology of Britain, Airlife Publishing, 2000, p 178, and Graham Park, Introducing Tectonics, Edinburgh: Dunedin Academic Press, 2012, p 42.
As a non-technical term, the word tor is sometimes applied to rocky outcrops on the summits of hills, but this usage seems to be confined to south west England, where the granite tors of Dartmoor are well known. Glastonbury Tor is one example.
Pikeawassa is not a granite tor. It is actually a deposit of dacitic lapilli-tuff. And the word tor is not used in Cumbria, in spite of its possible Celtic origin. Pikeawassa (peak on Wat's hill?) is not a tor in Cumbria but a pike, from Old English pīc, a peak. To use a 'foreign' term from the other end of England adds nothing to the information being given, and probably misleads the reader because of the technical use of the term.

message: "Some mouseovers are programmed in Java. Again, this is not to be recommended since not every web browser is equipped with a Java plugin." Doesn't sound NPOV to me.
I strongly agree with that old comment. The article not only pushes a POV but a wrong POV. More from the article:
Flash-based mouseovers and menu bars, however, are even worse in this respect.
That's the opposite of reality. Unless it's supposed to be a thought experiment or reverse psychology, it should be reworded. Flash is more widespread than Java. It is Java that is disabled for security purposes. Concerns with compatibility and portability take precedence once security is achieved e.g. by Javascript which introduces measures of security.

Talk:Orhan Veli Kanık

message: Veli was able to publish a literary journal, Yaprak [Leaf], for 28 issues
until a cerebral hemorrage ended his life.
Orhan Veli was part of a turkish literary movement called Garip movement.
Garip movement was a reaction to the classical poerty of his time where followed the aruz and rhyme.
Orhan Veli broke the conventional mold of polite Turkish verse.
While discarding rhyme and meter Orhan Veli espresses an almost nihilistic
world view.
He felt
that we "must free ourselves from poetic conceptions and from the effort
to make the use of words beautiful."'''
 SOME OF HIS VERSUS
 He has written quite a number of poems, please see the references below for more..
His famous versus in his autobiography: "I was afraid of frogs when I was 1. I started reading at age of 9, and interested in writing at 10. 
I was introduced to Oktay Rifat at 13, at 16 to Melih Cevdet Anday 
I went to pub at 17, I started drinking raki at 18...  
I fell in love  alot, never got married."'''

Listening to istanbul
I am listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed.
The drunkeness of ancient feastings in my head.
A seashore villa with dim -lit boathouse
With howling of the dying west wind
I am listening to Istanbul, with my eyes closed.
....
Song of Istanbul
In Istanbul, on the Bosphorus,
I am poor Orhan Veli;
I am the son of Veli
With indescribable sadness.
I am sitting by the shore of Rumeli,
I am sitting and  singing a song:
``The marble hills of Istanbul,</br>
Landing on my head, oh, landing are the sea gulls;</br>
Hot, homesick tears fill</br>
My eyes,</br>
My Eda,</br>
Full or airs, my Karma,</br>
the fountain salt</br>
Of all my tears.</br>

thread_title: References?

message: I'm a complete electronics layman, but interested in the field and trying to learn what I can.  I wandered over here from the Electrical generator article, and was dismayed to find that the ostensibly explanatory text in this article effectively explains not much -- I don't even see many links that would help me to understand what the terms here are.  For example:
: Singly-fed electric machines (i.e., electric motors or electric generators) belong to a category of electric machines that incorporate one multiphase winding set, which is independently excited, actively participates in the energy conversion process (i.e., is singly-fed), and determines the full electro-mechanical conversion power rating of the machine.
I'm left scratching my head here about the following completely opaque terminology:
# What is a "multiphase winding set"?
# What does "independently excited" mean?
# What does "actively participates in the energy conversion process" mean, and how is this related to "singly-fed"?  (For that matter, defining a "singly-fed electric machine" as "singly-fed" seems a bit tautological.)
