message: Just curious.. I've never quite figured this out. Alternators produce AC from the start (that's how they got their name). To get DC from an alternator you have to rectify it. On AC loco's they all rectify the AC to DC and then invert the DC back to AC. Yet they say it's more officiant.. Does anyone know why they convert then reconvert back again?

replies: text: On a DC generator, the excitation is applied to the stator, and the output is from the rotor, thru the commutator and brushes. On an AC alternator, the excitation is applied to the rotor thru brushes and slip rings, and the output is from the stator. By using an alternator, the possibility of a disastrous commutator "flashover" is eliminated, providing greater dependability and power handling capability. As stated above, DC is preferable to AC as input to the inverters. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 23:19, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: AC/DC=AC?

message: It says in one place that this model is available "with 20,000lbs extra to increase tractive effort". Surely "tractive effort" is a measure of force exerted, like horsepower or drawbar pull even, not just a term for "how good the loco is at pulling stuff". The only thing that adding extra weight would do is increase adhesion.  Unless adhesion is a factor in the tractive effort formula, which would seem weird. I could think of a better word for the general overall pulling power.

message: It would be appreciated if the name where put in alphabetical order. Any export locomotives need to be listed below the North American railroads. Original owners only. Not current operators. If SPC Rail Group bought 32 SD70M's, that doesn't mean that that company is an original buyer.
Even though Santa Fa is what was seen on the side of the locomotives, the name needs to be listed as AT&SF, then BN and BNSF after that.

Talk:Olympianism

message: I did a Google search and found more evidence for Olympianism as a secular political perspective than as a religion.  I found absolutely no references explaining any difference between Olympianism and other forms of Hellenic polytheism.  In fact, pretty much all the references to Olympianism as a modern religious practice were Wikipedia/Wiktionary mirrors.  (The information that was added to this page is already at Wiktionary.)  I don't see where enough material for an article on Olympianism, specifically, could possibly come from.  If there is a reliable source for the claim that Olympianism is different from other forms of Hellenic polytheism in some way, that information can be added to the main Hellenic polytheism article.  - AdelaMae (talk - contribs) 20:18, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Doug Racine

message: A significant fact about Doug Racine is that he yeilded the 2002 election for Govenor to the Republican.  The Republican recieved 45% of the vote and Racine got 42%.  Because no one recived over 50%, the legislature selected the Governor and could have voted for Racine had he challenged the vote.  Because of this, Jim Douglas was elected Governor and has been one of the best Governors ever.  I base this opinion on his election results since the initial election.  Seems that Racine would get his chance.  I am not sure if the democrats are mad at him for yeilding, but the democrats could have elected him Governor in 2002 regardless of whart he said.
This is a significant fact that deserves additional research and room on the wiki page.  It is not often that someone yeilds like this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.116.212.23 (talk) 16:31, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Doyle E. Carlton

message: I changed the part about his admission to the practice of law.  Formerly, the article said that he was admitted to the Florida Bar Association in 1912.  Prior to 1949, however, the Florida State Bar Association was a voluntary organization of lawyers, and it was not necessary for a lawyer to belong to it in order to practice law in Florida.
In 1912, a person was admitted to the practice of law in one of two ways:  (a)  if he was graduated from a Florida law school, he was automatically authorized to practice law in Florida.  This was known as the diploma privilege.  In 1912, there were only two approved law schools in Florida:  one was at Stetson University and the other one was at the University of Florida.  If a person was graduated from a law school outside the State of Florida, he was required to take and pass the Florida Bar Examination.
In 1949, the Supreme Court of Florida created The Florida Bar, a regulatory organization to which all lawyers are required to belong in order to practice law.  The old Florida State Bar Association was replaced by the new entity.  In 1955, Florida also did away with the diploma privilege.  All persons seeking admission to practice law in Florida, no matter the school from which they have graduated, or whether they are admitted elsewhere or not, are required to take and pass the Florida Bar examination, and meet the character and fitness and other requirements.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by John Paul Parks (talk • contribs) 23:56, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

Knowing the corruptions that arose from organized religions, Why would he then instruct for Dahishism to become another organized religion? I hope someone can answer this question for me.  
*In reply to the unsigned claim above, I would like to say that I knew Dr. Dahesh for over 25 years, witnessed his astonishing miracles, read his books, and believe in him as my guiding prophet, and I also strongly believe that he respected all religions, and told me more than once that they all have the same essence. He has a great spiritual message of salvation, and a life worth reading about. His style and ideas remind me of another genius from Lebanon, Kahlil Gibran, who wrote The Prophet, The Forerunner, Khalil The Heretic, Jesus the Son of Man... and others.  Dr. Dahesh has quite an impressive legacy in Lebanon and beyond. In NYC there is a (jewel box) of a museum that houses his art collection Dahesh Museum of Art, and there is also a publishing company named after him Dahesh Heritage & the Daheshist Publishing Co.located in the Newsweek building on Columbus Circle, so far they've printed and published over 150 books by and about him, and they also publish a fine bilingual (Arabic-English) periodical called Dahesh Voice.

That site clearly shows van Rooten portraying Himmler in The Hitler Gang (1944), but Howard Freeman doing so in "Hitler's Madman" (1943).  Accordingly, and without any other evidence that van Rooten impersonated Himmler in "Hitler's Madman", I'm adjusting the article text to match the list of portrayals at IMDB.  Specifically, I'm removing the film "Hitler's Madman" and changing the date of The Hitler Gang to 1944.  yoyo (talk) 13:21, 17 September 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Ernst von Weizsäcker

message: This page is seriously unbalanced. There is not much here about Weizsäcker's time as State Secretary while rather more is devoted to his time as an Ambassador to the Holy See. Given the World War II broken out in 1939 while Weizsäcker was State Secretary, surely his actions in 1939 merited mention? Second, Weizsäcker was opposed to war in 1938-39 because he thought Germany needed more time to rearm. His oppostion was only pramatic, not moral as all of the evidence shows that Weizsäcker was all for German expansion in Eastern Europe, his only problem being the timing of said opposition. So, Weizsäcker was opposed to timing of Nazi foreign policy without being opposed to either its aims or the Nazi regime itself. This article should made that more clear.--A.S.
