thread_title:  Section Move 

message: A few decades ago, there was an incident in which someone was in the hospital for some reason and wanted to log into a computer (perhaps the ITS machine at MIT).  So, this person's friends tried to bring in a terminal for him to use.  When they got to hospital security, they were stopped.
*What's that?
*A terminal.
*Let's see... "typewriters, televisions..."  Nope.  "Terminal" isn't on the list of allowed things.
Undeterred, the friends came back the next day with the terminal.  This time they called it a "television typewriter" and went on to demonstrate how what you type appears on the television.  Not being aware of the utter uselessness of such a device, the guard let the friends take the terminal in.  Would this be worth mentioning here? Frotz (talk) 21:08, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

I propose that this page NOT include links to articles about SPECIFIC techniques.  It would be unworkable and unhelpful because there are way too many of them.

Talk:Fender Jaguar Baritone Custom

message: I've reverted this edit, which led to the article reading in part ...a slightly shorter scale length of 28.5" as opposed to the Bass VI's 30", giving it more string tension due to the less distributed weight along the scale length. This is just plain wrong.
It's not clear to me what the author means by distributed weight along the scale length. The three things that determine the pitch of a (uniform) vibrating string are: string tension, string length, and string mass per unit of length. Mersenne's laws tell us that the longer the string, the lower the pitch, the lower the tension, the lower the pitch, and the denser the string, the lower the pitch. So whatever the author means, I'm afraid it's led them to a conclusion that is exactly the opposite of the truth.  
The shorter scale length means that the notes sound higher for the same strings and tension. That's how frets work. By shortening the string they make the string sound a higher note (the other two factors remaining the same).
So reducing the 30" scale length of the Fender Bass VI to the 28.5" of the Jaguar Baritone Custom would increase the pitch, all things being equal. The strings are the same, so the only way to restore the tuning down to E-E is to use slightly less tension.
I noted earlier that it was the only edit of this IP to date, but they've since returned,   so I'll drop them a welcome. Andrewa (talk) 20:08, 10 May 2013 (UTC)

message: A good faith search of books and the web did not identify any reason to think that this story is notable. The fact that it is a real folktale is not a claim of notability. The notability guideline for books (while not strictly applicable) gives a sense of why not:
# The book has been the subject of a work means non-trivial treatment (excluding mere mention of the book)
# The book has won a major literary award.
# The book has been made or adapted with attribution into a notable motion picture.
# The book is the subject of instruction at multiple schools. 
# The book's author is so historically significant that any of his or her written works may be considered notable. 
The article (and subsequent searching) does not find any of these criteria to be applicable, nor is the general notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in [independent] reliable sources".
