Talk:Mount Rainier National Park

message: How is Mount Rainier the fifth-oldest park? - Talk to you later, Presidentman (talk) Random Picture of the Day 20:24, 17 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added a subsection about the creation of the park, although not with much about the political fight--just a bit of general context. One thing I couldn't quite figure out was whether Muir's 1888 ascent was the 5th or 6th on record. The National Parks book says it was the 6th, but most of the climbing chronology websites seem to list it as the 5th. It's apparently not clear whether the summit was reached on a few early attempts. Fred Beckey merely says that the 1888 climb was "the fourth ascent of the Gibraltar route", which doesn't exactly resolve it. Pfly (talk) 08:31, 25 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fifth oldest? 

message: , instead of , what if we say   When I read the "three" in the recent edit but only one was named, it made me curious who the others
were. The NPS site names them, but it might seem a bit promotional to name them  in the article (while RMI's 30 years is significant enough for a mention), but the 15 solo-trips seems worth mentioning. It'd be nice to find a source that discussed why the NPS went from only one company to opening the field so much to others, wouldn't it? Schazjmd (talk) 23:52, 27 March 2024 (UTC)

thread_title: Picture

message: # Pronunciation: /r/ is used in both the Italian and the English pronunciations; this is fine if the pronunciation is phonemic, but should the English pronunciation use /ɾ/ to distinguish it from the Italian /r/?
# The article is inconsistent about whether "archicembalo" is anglicised; presumably it is, because its spelling is different from the Italian "arcicembalo". In that case, should the plural not be "archicembalos" rather than the sham Italian "archicembali"?
—Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.74.1.82 (talk) 26 April 2011
:Vicentino’s spelling in the original 1555 publication (I am looking at a facsimile now) is clearly Archicembalo (contrary to the discussion up the page back in 2006!), so I suppose the matter of pluralisation rests on whether it has entered English as a loan word. In addition, Vicentino always employs capitalisation, apparently. As for the question of pronunciation, wouldn’t the different character be presuming too much about particular English speakers? Philip User Talk Email 03:17, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pronunciation and anglicisation 

message: The article states that "after a cycle of 31 quarter-comma-tempered fifths, the 32nd pitch will be remarkably close to a pitch already existing in the system". Actually, this is not the case, there is an error of 6 cent: {\sqrt[4]{5}}^{31} / 2^{18} = 6.07\,\mathrm{cent}. This is not particularly close: If you take multiples of any irrational number, you will inevitably get close to a multiple of 100 at some point. Statistically speaking, an "error" of 6 % after 31 tries is not too impressive.
What I would guess was observed instead, is the fact that with 30 quarter-comma-tempered fifths, the remaining wolf fifth is very close to a just fifth: {\sqrt[4]{5}}^{30}\cdot \tfrac{3}{2} / 2^{18} = -0.69\,\mathrm{cent}. In other words the error cancels the quarter comma correction for this particular interval.
However, it breaks the perfect symmetry as is to be expected from any tuning that is not 31-ED. In certain keys, a major third which should be just will be off by 1/4 of a comma. --Cebus (talk) 02:44, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  cycle of 31 quarter-comma-tempered fifths 

message: To add to this article: mention of the reconstruction, in 2017, of an archicembalo designed by Carlo Gesualdo. Source 173.88.246.138 (talk) 07:29, 27 January 2021 (UTC)
thread_title: To add to article

message: The image included with the article, which shows the tuning of the archicembalo in cents, appears to be following the analysis, referred to in the article, of Karol Berger, because keys in successive steps of the cycle of 31 notes often differ by 41 cents instead of 39 cents. This makes sense if even the basic tuning included modifications to allow better perfect fifths to be played in many cases. Quadibloc (talk) 07:22, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

message: I find the intro paragraph confusing and don't see explanation in the body of text:

* What good (to the body) is a homoexchange ("trading a triglyceride for a triglyceride or a cholesteryl ester for a cholesteryl ester") between HDL and VLDL?
* By the description here, both VLDL and HDL are largely unchanged after CETP does its thing.  So how does inhibiting CETP change the level of either?
* According to the title of the first ref (Zhong S) increasing CETP function increased HDL.  So how does torcetrapib lowering CETP increase HDL?

Talk:Lesson plan

message: There are a few examples of lesson plans and how to write up lesson plans at teachlibrary.com.  I added a couple myself.  From my experiences as a teacher formal lesson plans are more for evaluation purposes than anything else.  Teaching day to day usually involves far fewer actual lesson plans - like this post discusses - because of the inflexibility lesson plans inherently have. The lesson plans that we use are usually more a laundry list of things to cover and key points.  That said, formal lesson plans can be useful because they can force the teacher to be more cognizant of their pedagogy, including how the means coordinate with the ends of a given lesson.

message: This page is a mere dictionary definition (something which Wikipedia is not).  It explains the meaning, alleged origins and one particular usage of a slang expression.  I can't find any encyclopedic content on this page that's not better discussed on a different page.  Nothing here rises past what I would expect to read in a truly great unabridged dictionary.  The definitions and usage discussions belong over in Wiktionary where folks with the right skills, interests and lexical tools can more easily sort out the meanings and origins.
Options to fix the page here include:
# Expand the page with encyclopedic content - that is, content that goes well beyond the merely lexical.
# Redirect the page to a more general page.
# Replace the current contents with a soft-redirect to Wiktionary (usually done using the  template).
Pending a better answer and considering the strong recommendations of the AFD discussion participants, I'm implementing option 2 for now.  I do note that there were two recommended redirect targets.
