Talk:Hobby–Eberly Telescope

message: Anyone know what the tower is for? The HET website doesn't say. --BjKa 10:20, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The tower contains instrumentation for monitoring and adjusting the mirror segments. Periodically the telescope is pointed toward the tower, measurements are made, and the mirror segments moved to place them in optimal positions. Bill Jefferys 23:09, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In the early years of operation, the tower was not used because it was only capable of "capturing" the positions of the misaligned mirrors if they were quite close to where they should be.  The mirror drift was much larger than the engineering specification, so it was easier to point the telescope to a star and "stack" the images, and then the telescope would provide somewhat decent images for an hour or so before more drift required restacking.  A sensor system which measured the positions of the mirrors against one another was added after the telescope was declared "operational" -- at a cost of about 30% of the original design cost of the telescope.  I do not know if the tower is currently used to recenter the mirrors: its purpose is to some extent served by the sensors, though measurement of the overall shape of the mirror, not just the relations between the individual mirrors to each other, is still necessary.  To a large extent, the telescope's optical instability has crippled it over its life, leading to a paucity of scientific impact compared to other 9m class telescopes, and motivated the conversion of the HET over to a "light bucket" for cosmological surveys -- something it can do well even with poor optical performance. 74.79.147.25 (talk) 22:55, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article says "the flow velocity of the icy water is about 5 meters at a rate of 20 tons per second".  Units for flow should be cubic metres per second or megalitres per day.   What is shown in the topic is a bit confusing.  Can the proper flow in cumecs be stated and then if you want to put it into tons per second then add this after?  Note tons can be confused between the metric and imperial units.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 14.2.135.238 (talk) 21:52, 15 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Gänseliesel

message: "Im Geiste der Alten" is translated "In the tenor of the elder" I'm not sure how to translate this, but this doesnt seem to be it.  Possibilities: "In the spirit of the ancients," "in the spirit of the elders," "in the spirit of something older," In the spirit of that which is older," "in the spirit of ancient times/olden days/years past"  I would change it now but i think something ambiguous (as it is now) is better than something incorrect and I'm certainly not sure.  Jieagles 20:03, 31 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not proficient at German. However, "Im Geiste der Alten" strikes me as probably translating into English as "In the spirit of the old [one]," where the "old one" refers to the original statue. A native English speaker would probably express this as "in he spirit of the original," or something similar. --Xorkster 23:56, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:White Nights (short story)

message: While this plot summary may include a few details, especially a few descriptions of conversation, that are probably unnecessary, e.g. that Matryona finished cleaning the cobwebs, for the most part this is a well-written summary.  In general, I prefer plot summaries with more information, rather than less.  I would recommend removing the "issues" notification link.  I would be concerned that some well-intentioned reader would see this notification and excessively edit the summary or, even worse, replace it entirely with an all-too-brief one or two paragraph summary, to the great detriment of the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.141.160.164 (talk) 14:16, 10 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Dream of a Ridiculous Man

message: From the article:
From the story: 
The ridiculous man does not seem to be begging, at least not to me. The first portion of his statement ('Whoever you may be...suffer it to be here now) seems a little difficult to penetrate but could be interpreted as begging if he is thought to be saying something like 'if anything more rational (than being stuck in a dank coffin with a trickle of water slowly pouring down my face for eternity) is possible, (then I shall) suffer it to be here now.' However this begging, if begging it is, seems only to be a rhetorical device that augments the much more imaginative second portion of his statement ('But if you are...a million years!'), as though his pretenses of reasonability and rationality force him to use this structure of sentence (the very logical, if a then b else if c then d, sort of style) and to place a little 'you have the right to...' preamble before he opens fire.
I looked at the discussion page for exactly this reason. When i was reading the story i got the impression that he is angry at the "unknown power" and doesn't regret his actions.
Also, here is a link of the story http://www.online-literature.com/dostoevsky/3368/ . I am not sure if its allowed it, so i will leave someone more experienced to edit the page. VeNSe (talk) 00:58, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

It appears you're trying to enter articles with HTML coding. Might I suggest you read Wikipedia:Tutorial for some easier wiki formatting tips? Also, be careful about our WP:NPOV policy. He may have been "a man of great thinking" or something like that, but saying so in the article, violates the policy. I also saw you got sidetracked a few times. Information about the painting doesn't really belong in his biography. And neither is information about the city's development. Try staying on topic and discuss only what is relevant to Brown's life.

Rather, consider themselves Qırım çingeneleri (Crimean Gypsy).  The term Gypsy is not always a swearword, it depends on the respective group. The Tatar language speakers in particular distance themselves from the Roma. Also in English these groups are called Tatar Gypsy. The term Romani has been an English phenomenon since the 1980s. It is wrong to make everyone who has been labeled as Gypsy to a Romani. Many are not romani but other once nomadic groups that may have indian origins.
