thread_title: SETI TARGET?

message: I just read Caputo, Castellani, & Quarta, and nowhere do they say the distance is 2,200 parsecs.  It's an interesting paper, but it doesn't mention distance.  It does offer up some distance modulus's (moduli?) which give values of 2,600 parsecs, but those moduli are ... hypothetical.
Currently, the best article I can find is Neeley, J.R et al. 2015, ApJ, 808, 11, which give a modulus of 11.399.  What do other people think?

The website https://www.messier.seds.org/m/m004.html erroneously places that object in M4, which is probably how this error worked its way into Wikipedia.PopePompus (talk) 01:18, 2 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:20th Maine Infantry Regiment

message: The Irish Song "The Frog in the Well" is often recorded as the favourite song of the 20th Maine. Unfortunately, the history of the song is largely unknown and obscure. --Arima 06:55, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "The Frog in the Well"

message: This article seems to be based more on the popularized image on the Twentieth, rather than the reality.  Inaccuracies abound, including:
*Colonel Vincent did not command the brigade until several months after the Twentieth joined.
*At that time, the brigade included two other regiments from New York and an independent company of Michigan sharpshooters.
*There were other commanders after Spear.
*The 15th and 47th Alabama fought as a single unit under Col. Oates (of the 15th) at Little Round Top, and arrived late in the battle, having stopped for water and inadvertently swinging to their right over Big Round Top.  There were several other regiments attacking the 20th and their brigade as well.
*The claims about Melcher are hardly recent, and mostly derive not from Melcher, but from Ellis Spear, who in later life became rather hostile towards Chamberlain.  Melcher told the story in much the same way Chamberlain did; he requested permission to go out an retrieve some of his wounded lying in front of the line, and Chamberlain responded that he was about to order a bayonet charge - a logical story, since Spear's claim of Melcher initiating it and the regiment accidentally following hardly explains how they had conveniently fixed their bayonets already.
*The regiments initial enrollment was just short of 1,000.  The figure of 1,621 represents initial numbers plus replacements over the course of the war, including the 120 men from the Second Maine, as well as later draftees.
*Of course, there is also a VERY large gap in the regiment's history.  I will be fixing the article sometime within the next week.

Talk:BMW New Six

message: I'd query whether the New Sixes were an ancestor to the 5-series: they ran concurrently for many years and the New Six models only disappeared when the 6- and 7-series were launched. The 5s may be thought of as an intermediate series that had no direct ancestor IMO. Stombs 23:25, Dec 18, 2004 (UTC)
:You're probably right.  BMW World made the claim, but it looks wrong.  On the other hand, the BMW New Class models are clearly the spiritual ancestors of the [[BMW 3-Series, and they were produced at the same time, right? --SFoskett 04:41, Dec 20, 2004 (UTC)
::As I've indicated in Template:BMW cars, I've always thought the New Class can be divided neatly into the 4-door models (2000 etc.) which foreshadowed the 5-series and the 2-door cars (2002 etc.) which were succeeded by the 3-series. The dates of the introductions of the 3, 5 and 7 series supports this. -- Hotlorp 16:41, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think it would be wrong to call the E3 an ancestor to the 5-series, as the 5-series arrived in 1972, and the E3 went out of production in 1977, when it was actually replaced by the e23, the first 7-series. It's not ancestor to the 5-series, as it was made to compete with Mercedes-Benz S-class. The 5-series was made to compete with Mercedes-Benz W114-sedans. The long wheelbase version of E3 also supports this, as only the big luxury sedans were available with that option. 83.108.108.137 (talk) 17:24, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: If we have to get technical, yes the New Six was a descendant of the 7 Series as the flagship sedan, but in contrast to the 7 Series, the New Six (E3) was more of a W114 competitor in terms of exterior size as well as engine options too. The W108 was a much, much larger car and that could even be compared to the American landyachts of yore. Both the New Six and the W114 were 195-196" long with a wheelbase above 105"--below 110", and not to mention the W108 even had V8 options! Also, having compared the New Class (1500) and the New Six (E3), the New Six was built to compete directly with the W114, however the New Class was more similar to the W120 which was still in production by the time the New Class was released as both were E-segment cars. BMW happened to have two E-segment cars, but the New Six was more of an in-betweener, since it didn't come with a four-cylinder engine. BMW was more focused on engine over size. 71.94.157.155 (talk) 06:48, 13 March 2022 (UTC)

message: I noone will be able to explain correctly this article I'll go deep into reserach and correct according best Jewish kabbalah materials. It is intriguing to me. --Fivetrees 07:24, 9 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Subject 

message: The Kabbala is rooted in Judaism which in turn is rooted in the Jewish Scriptures (Biblical Old Testament).  Nowhere in Judaism or the Jewish Scriptures is there any mention of "previous incarnations" or "past lives".  As a student of astrology, I assume the author of the statement, "Yesod indicates what our karmic lessons brought over from previous incarnations...", is referring to the common astrological interpretation of the moon's north node as found in any modern astrological text.  This interpretation is acceptable for Western Astrology as it is not derived from any authoritative text serving as a foundation - it is its own discipline and in the end is subject to each practioner's personal interpretaion.
The Kabbala, however, does not share this 'luxury'.  It owes its very existence to Jewish scripture and therefore is no longer the Kabbala if any part of it contradicts or does not fully support this authoritative text from which it came.  If the author does not believe in the Jewish scriptures, that is certainly his or her personal right but to believe in the truths contained in the Kabbalah, he or she must also believe in the absolute truth of the Jewish scriptures from which it came.  Therefore, this author must make a decision; either remove all reference to reincarnation (past lives) and accept the Jewish scripture in its entirety or renounce belief in the Kabbala.  --Michael 03:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: For perspective, one cubic millimeter of water weighs 1 milligram.  We can assume fish roughly have about the same density as water or else they wouldnt be able to swim in it.  So this fish would have to be much thinner than 1 millimeter wide in order to weigh 1 milligram, perhaps as thin as 1/8 of a millimeter (if you figure roughly 8 * 1 * 1/8 = 1).  I was suspicious because it says in the article that this fisj is chubby, but there are pictures on the Internet which show they are so thin that they are partly translucent.   —Soap— 22:44, 26 October 2014 (UTC)
