Talk:Tervel of Bulgaria

message: I am removing the relevant section, that claims "After the Bulgarian army crushed the Arabs during the siege of Constantinople (718) Tervel was called by contemporaries the Saviour of Europe." First, "Europe" as a concept did not exist back then. Second, while working on rewriting Siege of Constantinople (717–718), I went through most Greek and all Arab sources, and there is none actually mentioning him in these words. While Tervel contributed in an event that (from a modern Western view) "saved Europe", the statement, as it has long stood in this and the siege article is plainly wrong. Of the sources used as references, one was a Wikipedia mirror, two were not WP:RS. The only one that seems relatively reliable mentions nothing about contemporaries, but only far later accounts (Blasius Kleiner and Paisius of Hilandar). Constantine   ✍  16:41, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Prephenic acid

message: Quote from the article:
:Prephenic acid is an example of achiral (optically inactive) molecule which has two pseudoasymmetric atoms (i.e. stereogenic but not chirotopic centers), the C1 and the C4 cyclohexadiene ring atoms.
In my opinion the use of the word pseudoasymmetric in this lemma introduces concepts which are of no signifficance here.
* stereoisomerism generaly occurs at carbon centers with four different substituents, which clearly is not true as the two ringsegments are to any extention perfectly equal.
* the two atoms are located in a ring and therefor substitution on both of them will inevitably introduce cis/trans or if you wish E/Z isomerism refering relation to being on the same or the opposite side of the plane of the ring. But that is all there ever will be.
In relation to the case mentioned above, in the next snetence in diastereoisomers the prefix diasterio should be removed, as it points at molecules capable of R/S isomerism, but not all of the sterio centers have been reversed. It is just a case of structural isomerism.
My suggestion would be to remove the obove quoted sentence and in the next one change diasterioisomer with isomer.

Talk:Hugh John Casey

message: It sure seems to me that this page largely cribs from here: http://www.arlingtoncemetery.net/hjcasey.htm and it even uses the same photograph.  However, it is possible that both pages are derived from the Army-published memoirs of Gen. Casey listed as a reference for this article: Engineer Memoirs: Major General Hugh J. Casey, Office of History, US Army Corps of Engineers, 1993.
What strikes me is that both pages repeat the at least hyped story of General Casey's involvement in the design of the Pentagon when this page: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5438635 provides a much more in-depth discussion of the design and construction of the Pentagon which does not even mention General Casey.  And in fact, the original design of the Pentagon was a rectangle with one corner cut off due to the constraints of the originally proposed site at Arlington Farms.  The two stories can't be reconciled without further research.  Did General Casey originate the rectangle with one corner cut off?  Or did he take that design and regularize it into a true pentagon after President Roosevelt ordered the building to be moved south? It would seem that to legitimately include this story, you have to put it into contect one way or the other, and it is not clear from the above web pages exactly what happened.  But given that Gen. Casey was (at that time) assigned to "standardize designs," I would suspect that he took the original design and regularized it into a true pentagon shape, which would make the story more meaningful if this can be verified.  Perhaps somebody has access to the cited book?  (I do not.)
But the story does appear to be clarified a bit here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/05/23/AR2007052301296_pf.html which is an excerpt from the book The Pentagon: A History, to be published by Random House. ©2007 by Stephen F. Vogel.  That article makes it appear that Gen. Casey (then a Lt. Col.) picked the original Arlington Farms site that led to the five-sided design by architect George Edwin Bergstrom and his team.

Talk:De Havilland DH.88 Comet

message: The article states that the Comet was first fitted with Hamilton V-P propellers. This is contradicted by Harald Penrose, who says that the design team went to New York for discussions with Hamilton but concluded that their props were not suitable, firstly because they were designed for much more powerful engines but also because their hydraulic actuation would be problematic. I find this account more plausible than that in the article; apart from anything else I would have expected DH to have tested the installation in another aircraft rather than waiting for the Comet to be completed.TheLongTone (talk) 16:00, 3 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Penrose is not always reliable, I have caught him out before. I have on my shelf the Putnam book on the de Havilland aircraft, Martin Sharp's history of the company, Geoffrey DH's own autobiography, and Oglivy's book on the Comets. They tell in a good deal more detail about the visit to the States, how despite the concerns you note they ordered a cut-down set for the Comets but then, as a fallback, went to France and ordered a set of Ratiers. Ogilvie has photos of the prototype in its earliest form, visibly confirming that it was initially fitted with the Hamiltons. They did indeed interfere with the cooling airflow as had been feared (this could not have been tested on another plane), so the fallback plan was implemented. The crankshafts had been made with an integral Hamilton fitting, so an adapter had to be made for the Ratiers. If you have concerns over any given factoid, by all means tag it and I'll dig out a suitable reference. (Henshaw's account of reworking an engine for the King's Cup leaves a puzzle over the path of the hydraulic oilway, but that is another question altogether. I doubt that Shuttleworth would let me take it apart to find out.) — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:22, 3 January 2024 (UTC)

message: Consistency is all well and dandy, but "FFVS 22" is solely a wikipedia invention.

# It is preceded by multiple claimants to even that contrived (1957) claim. 
## In the US, Huff Daland, who built the actual first purpose-built crop duster (pending the discovery of another earlier one), was in fact a major aircraft company. (~1924) 
## Fletcher was a major aircraft company in NZ, and preceded them with their FU-24 top dresser (their term for the same basic activity). (1954)

## Rockwell's Thrush Commander has its origins with the purpose-built Snow S-2. (1956)
