Talk:Sone

message: Is it true that humans will rate a sound as twice as loud if the sone level doubles? Or is that property true of phons and not sones? Or is it yet some other property, like pressure wave amplitude, or pressure intensity? Human perception of loudness must scale linearly in proportion to some measure, perhaps as yet to be defined. But whichmeasure?? As far as I can tell, Wikipedia is silent on this.  Randallbsmith (talk) 21:35, 30 September 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Doubling of sones in intended to represent a doubling of perceived loudness; "sones" are that "some measure" you're looking for, though the relation between the objective and perceived values is not a precisely measurable thing, and is defined  by convention after sufficient experimentation.  At high enough loudness, doubling the sones requires about a 10 dB intensity increase; or factor of 3.16 pressure increase. Dicklyon (talk) 23:19, 18 October 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Role of perceived relative loudness 

message: The given equation simply relates two rather obscure measures of loudness (N and L_N.) If it's easy, I'd request the author(s) plop in some other equations as well, relating N to more familiar basic physical wave properties (like amplitude, for example).

message: Thanks for the article!  I did notice that the equation to calculate sones from phons is a little confusing.  It looks like you use the symbol "ld" for log base 2.

Talk:Richard Clune

message: This kid's a fair pro prospect, but only that; his career to date would not be notable enough to pass WP:BIO and warrant any article at all if he hadn't played a handful of pro games.  That being said, a giant article far larger than accorded to most Hockey Hall of Fame players to someone ranked no better than Dallas' 13th most promising prospect is in violation of undue weight clauses and not remotely warranted.  I think this is still far too much (for one thing, the junior careers in almost all NHL articles is handled with a mere sentence or two, even in the case of players with outstanding junior careers, among whose number Clune doesn't qualify), but there's nothing now in it which can't be sourced.    Ravenswing  00:43, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Venous lake

message: This article says:
:A venous lake (which are also known as "Phlebectases"[1]) is an asymptomatic, generally solitary, soft, compressible, dark blue to violaceous, 0.2- to 1-cm papule commonly found on sun-exposed surfaces of the vermilion border of the lip, face and ears.
So, it's a purple lump.  Visible and feel-able.  How can it be called "asymptomatic"?
The symptom article confirms that a departure from normality, noticed by the "patient", is indeed a symptom.  I'll remove the word "asymptomatic" from the intro.
I've also removed it from this list: Asymptomatic#List.

thread_title: Fleet

message: I propose that the 'History' section of this article be split into Kingston upon Hull City Transport. There may be an element of hometown bias here, but having been writing this article on and off for about three years now, I think the 'History' section, which pretty much takes up half the article now, should be mostly split into its own article.
Personally, I think the 'History' section would stand up in it's own article. A potential split would allow editors to go into further detail about the fleet and of the Hull Corporation Transport era, but I'm concerned about rendering the split Stagecoach article to be a borderline stub. Plus, is there precedent for these sort of small UK bus municipals having their own articles? Hullian111 (talk) 17:59, 12 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If splitting resulted in a borderline stub, then it would likely end up being deleted or re-merged. Covering the operator in both public and private ownership in one article isn't inhibiting the article from being expanded.

Talk:Joseph Colombo

message: The following was placed in the article history by User:149.68.7.92:
I didn't edit anything but, umm, he was assasinated because of his involvement with allowing Paramount to film The Godfather. Amazing that wasn't mentioned.
So I looked around and found out that something to this effect was also implied in the Colombo crime family article:
[...] Colombo set up the Italian-American Civil Rights League to defend Italian Americans from what he saw as prejudice at the hands of the law enforcement authorities. In an organisation that prided itself on keeping a low profile, the publicity Colombo brought on the mafia was decidedly unwelcome - through his involvement with the League, he was frequently to be found, willingly, on television and in the press, where a Mafia boss usually only finds himself when having to defend himself in court.
Emphasis mine. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anything to corroborate the claim in question. An expert is needed.

message: The center of Gonzales, known as Chips Grocery, came into being in the late 1970s. The previous center was known as the "Fish N Pic".
I don't know whose idea this was, but it's not only completely false, it's manifestly ludicrous. The center of Gonzales has always been farther north, about where Burnside (LA-44) crosses the New River (which was the predecessor settlement to Gonzales), approx. where St. Theresa's is now. The church was built mostly on the land given it by the Lanoux family (my wife's family, in Ascension since the 1780s), because it was centrally located. Chip's is just a convenience store with overpriced gas pumps, so I have to assume someone is having their little joke. --Michael K SmithTalk  15:59, 24 October 2017 (UTC)
