Talk:Fund for Peace

message: Hi I'm a student at Syracuse University and part of Wikipedia's public policy initiative. I am looking to work on articles relating to nongovernment organizations and failed states. I will be editing this article soon in an effort to improve the understanding and perception the general public has of organizations like Fund for Peace and its purpose.

thread_title:  Improvements Soon 

message: This article should be eligible for appearing on the main page as a "Did you know" entry, if it is nominated it soon; it is supposed to be nominated within 5 days of being created or significantly (5x) expanded.  
The instructions for nominating it are at Template talk:Did you know.  Basically, all you need to do is take this code if you created a new article:

or this code if you expanded it

and write the hook, a concise and interesting bit of info from the article beginning with "... that" and ending with a question mark.  The info from the hook has to be present in the article and supported (in the article) with a citation.  Someone will double-check to make sure the source says what it's claimed to say.
Once you've come up with a hook, fill in your username as the author and fill the title of the article, then add the above code, including your hook following the "hook=" part, to the top of the appropriate section for the day the article was started on the DYK template talk page.  The code will produce an entry formatted like the others.  After that, just keep an eye on the entry; if anyone brings up an issue with it, try to address it.  I'll keep an eye out as well.  If everything goes well, it will appear on the Main Page for several hours a few days from now.

thread_title: Getting started

message: This paragraph has only 1 footnote (#7), which seems not to support much of what is said in that section.  The statement about Jefferson fearing for democracy has not support I could find in #7.  Apparently, the founders did not believe in democracy.  They gave USA a mixed constitution with a Republic element (not Athenian democracy where people vote the laws).  The editor must have gotten his information from somewhere on at least part of this section.  Can citations be added to support what is supportable, & material which is unsupportable be deleted?

Talk:List of theaters in Washington, D.C.

message: We who live in the Washington area use the term to include metro Virginia and Maryland.  I live in Maryland and this list does not include, for example, Clarice Smith at the Univ. of Md. in College Park, the Black Box theater on Colesville Rd in Silver Spring, the Black Box at Montgomery College in Takoma Park, the Strathmore in Rockville, or the Fitzgerald theater at Montgomery College in Rockville, although it does include the Olney Theater and others.

message: I humbly request to the owner of this page to change the spelling of the title to "Karanprayag" as it spelled officially. Or remove the protection from the page so I can do it on my own. Thanks
:* for now. In retrospect i maybe shouldn't have been so hasty as i've just realised the mass variety of spellings in use; such as Karn Prayag, Karnaprayag, Karan-prayag and Karanprayag. The archived version of the Census suggests Karn Prayag, but without the original source and a second reference as to whether Karn Prayag is infact the subject of the article or not, i'm unsure if it is correct. Atleast the title now reflects the usage throughout the article. I shall get another opinion on this. (Cesdeva (talk) 23:47, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: Thaddeusw (talk) 05:07, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

text: Air starters used in commercial vehicles have a glad hand "jumper" connection next to the air tank. Another truck can pull up and use its emergency/supply line to jump the truck. Another method is to use a special hose and use the air pressure in the tires to fill the tank. After you start the engine you just fill the tires and go.
The Sukhoi Su-26M (powered by a radial engine) also has a pneumatic starter motor. I"m hinking that with these types of engines, pneumatic engines are mostly used as they're easier to built in.

In general a big V8 is too wide which kills streamlining hence mileage - that could probably be overcome by a different approach to streamlining but a V8 also has less main bearing area than a six, so when you get into the big horsepower numbers they are not as reliable.
