Talk:Areosynchronous orbit

message: What height above Mars is this? This might be added to this article. Ergzay 18:15, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The orbital altitude of an Areosynchronous orbit is approximately 17,000 km.  I have just added the info to the article, with a citation.  This would be a circular orbit for any Areosynchronous orbit, as well as for the subset of Areosynchronous orbits that are on the Martian equatorial plane; i.e., Areostationary orbits.  Cheers.

thread_title: Height

message: Can anyone supply a reference to a scientist or engineer using the term "Areosynchronous orbit". There are only a few people who use terms like "seleno-" for the Moon, "are-" for Mars, and "herme-" for Mercury. The majority just use terms like "lunar geotherm." "Geometry of the surface of mars" "Martian Geodesy", etc. I find this (1) uninformative; and (2) pretentious. What is the term for Venus??? 
Perhaps "Martian synchronous orbit" or "Martian geosynchronous orbit" is more appropriate? I would have never found this page had I not seen the orbit navigation footer. Lunokhod 11:06, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You could consider creating a REDIRECT page entitled Martian synchronous orbit.  The only trouble is, redirs to totally unsourced articles are frowned upon.  So it either case, some editor will have to find some sources for this info to stay in Wikipedia.  A quick look on Google scholar (at this URL) in Feb 2013 finds 34 scholarly references to Areosynchronous orbit.  Martian synchronous orbit gets only a single scholarly reference.

Talk:Star Trek (script game)

message: Back in Feb, someone proposed this article get merged into one about a different Star Trek game from the early 1970s. I see two problems: one is that it's a different game. Not directly related at all. This game is like a text adventure, that one is based around a visual display of positions. The other problem is that whoever proposed the merge did it in February and didn't write anything here about why it should happen.

message: In the late 80s I managed a VMSCluster for ProPress.   One employee, Steve McDowell liked to play 'Trek'.   I didn't like that.
So I made a copy of OPCRASH.EXE and renamed it to TREK.EXE, and plopped it into Steve-Os directory.    Later that day....one of the nodes in the cluster up and crashes.    Dave (my boss) comes to me and asks what happened.    I show him the dump.   "Steve was running TREK and it crashed the system."    Dave didn't like that.

Talk:Star Trek: Elite Force II

message: I'm rating this article as start class, high importance. The article falls solidly into the start-class criteria, I'd suggest looking at a number of our good and featured articles for examples of how to approach the issues.
* There are no references for the article, this needs to be addressed for all aspects of the article: release dates, reception, gameplay, etc.
* Write a reception section. This section is of upmost importance to a video game article as it is the best place to establish the notability of the article. Find reviews and coverage in reliable third party sources - namely the industry's journalism - and build the section up. Be sure to remain neutral, this section should contain both praise and criticism.
* The story section is too long. Try to cut out details that don't necessarily add anything for the reader, but be sure that the plot is described in sufficient context that a reader unfamiliar with the game or Star Trek in general can understand what is going on.ss
** I've made the "Plot" section shorter and excluded unnecessary informantion. ILorbb | Talk 15:00, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Lady

message: In the film Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country, Spock says "When you have eliminated the impossible, everything that is left must be the truth", a comment he attributes to one of his ancestors. This is a quote from the Sherlock Holmes novel, The Sign of Four, which implies that Amanda is a descendant of Arthur Conan Doyle.
I'm a wiki-newbie here, so I hope I didn't break any protocols. I disagree that Spock's use of the Arthur Conan Doyle quote implies that Amanda is a descendant of ACD. It could imply that Spock incorrectly attributes the quote to a Vulcan predecessor of Sarek. There is lots of precedent in TOS and in STVI:TUC of characters taking the credit for other's quotes, ideas, inventions, etc. In TOS, a recurring gag was that Chekov claimed that everything was invented by the Russians. In STVI, the Klingons claim that one hasn't read Hamlet unless he's read it in "the original Klingon". Theepdought (talk) 20:23, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

message: Swath is also an agricultural term and may describe the "sweeping width" of a remote sensor.  Perhaps these articles should be ammended.
Also i would like to point out that the 80% increase in resistance is not always true, yes there is an increased in skin friction resistance, but the SWATH form reduces wave making resistance and due to the increase in the depth of the hull the propeller can experience increased efficiencies, these two increases in efficiencies have also been known to offset the increase in skin friction resistance. 
Also SWATHs are not it fact limited to low speed there have been examples of 35 knot SWATHs

The only defence deal Mr Saïd is associated with is the signing of the Al Yamamah contract.  Mr Saïd's successful business career in Saudi Arabia, the source of the overwhelming majority of his wealth, was derived from civil contracts.
