Talk:Dodecanese

message: Hello everyone,
I am adding a link to the OFFICIAL Greek Government regulated webpage for Dodecanese Islands, which is handled by the Federation of Dodecanese Islands Tourist Family accommodations in Greece, and people are removing it, saying it is spam.
The website is http://www.blueislands.gr
Yes, this website offers information on places to stay there, but these are the regulated government accommodations and are displayed there without any charge. This organisation is NOT making any money, and its sole purpose is to INFORM the visitors of ALL the dodecanese islands, their history, their municipalities, the villages and the areas with text and photos.
Please leave this link there, since its the only Non Profit link on Dodecanese islands with so much information on them.
Thank you,
Emmanouil Filippou

message: I recently redirected "Hull" to Hull, Quebec rather than Kingston upon Hull, mainly on the grounds that no city in Yorkshire has ever needed a colonial Governor (as yet).  Was Murray made Governor of Hull (Quebec) or Mayor of Hull (Yorkshire) in 1783?  Inquiring editors want to know, so that the appropriate changes can be made.  Tevildo 23:52, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: It said to have "bare sphere" critical mass of 7 kg (Pu-239 is 10 kg (or 16 kg - Wikipedia disagees with itself on this)), yet half-life is 15 million years.
Should it be mentioned?
Where mass and W/kg are very critical (e.g. nuclear propulsion in space), it may make it rather useful, I think.
(closest contenders: Np-236: 7 kg, 154000 years; californium-249, californium-251: 5-6 kg, <1000 years).
Pu239 is warm as small sheres and hot with larger due to its high Spontaneous Fission rate. See Demon Core, named for its dead, a 14 Kg Plutonium sphere. Plutonium easily compresses with pressure. Bombs use explosives around the Plutonium pit to compress the Plutonium to critical density. So the easier to use 10 Kg Plutonium pit is reasonable for a bomb. So 16 Kg seems about right. However do look up the inconvenience a 14Kg pit caused. TaylorLeem (talk) 21:36, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

replies: text: I'm not sure it is that unbalanced. Of course, Curium#Occurrence is all about long half-lives. Could you be more specific, for example why the short-lived ones are less important -- while in RL/physics they are relevant (in my opinion). Also, could you clarify the section title 'Safety???'. -DePiep (talk) 21:57, 7 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Electrical dipole moment

message: I clarified the meaning of r in the generic discrete case as before it was not distinguished from the r of the simple case and added a link to Vector (spatial for further reading (this is an introductory enough article to warrant a link to another introductory topic?).  Still, the generic definition does not deal with q_i of all the same charge.....
Also, what is going on with the definition of a generic distribution?  We have q- --> q+ for r(vector), but the generalization does not specify what happens if we have multiple q+ in our set of charges.  Is this r(vector) in the general case taken to be a vector from some origin?  
Could somebody explain the significance. I don't understand the maths here either as electrial fields obey the inverse square law so I would expect the moment to decrease wrt this principle.Rjstott 05:06, 7 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: The fact that the dipole moment vector is directed from the negative charge to the positive charge is seen to be related to the fact that the plain position vector of a point is directed from the origin to that point.
I don't understand this argument. --Abdull 10:10, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Direction of moment 

message: I have thought for a while that the electromagnetism template is too long.  I feel it gives a better overview of the subject if all of the main topics can be seen together.  I created a new template and gave an explanation on the old template talk page, however I don't think many people are watching that page.
I have modified this article to demonstrate the new template and I would appreciate people's thoughts on it: constructive criticism, arguments for or against the change, suggestions for different layouts, etc.
To see an example of a similar template style, check out Template:Thermodynamic_equations.  This example expands the sublist associated with the main topic article currently being viewed, then has a separate template for each main topic once you are viewing articles within that topic.  My personal preference (at least for electromagnetism) would be to remain with just one template and expand the main topic sublist for all articles associated with that topic.--DJIndica 16:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
