Talk:Moray Firth

message: Is it really just "Moray Firth" ?  I thought it was always referred to as "the Moray Firth".  If you referred merely to Moray Firth I think people would think you were talking about Moray Firth Radio.--PeterR 23:31, 19 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Robert Black (serial killer)

message: I've watched some edit-warring, sadly.  the source is explicit about it:  Most of the article is about the traumatic effect of that and events that cascaded from it. It's difficult reading, but it makes it clear how serious and lasting impacts of the murder were on the Meadows. My impression is that this brief mention's appropriate, maybe even scanty. NebY (talk) 20:31, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: It does. And I think it's fine to include this on the Shane Meadows article. I'm really not sure it belongs on this one though. The source doesn't even mention Black. John (talk) 21:40, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I hadn't noticed it doesn't name Black. I wonder if Shane Meadows and/or the interviewer Miranda Sawyer made a deliberate choice there, following the "some asshole" rule of not naming mass shooters so as not to give them the spotlight and memorialise them like Herostratus. Still, after reading the source, I think I'd argue that the Meadows suffered significantly (I'd say notably if it wasn't a term of art here) because of Black. And it's not as if we're following a rule of not naming witnesses. NebY (talk) 22:14, 28 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No question about that. And you may be right about the "some asshole" thing. It just doesn't seem quite right to include this here. At least not without a consensus here. It might be borderline WP:SYNTH. John (talk) 21:20, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Category talk:Native American tribes

message: The appropriate category is First Nations, or by province/terr, First Nations in British Columbia, First Nations in Yukon etc.  Government and tribal council organizations should be First Nations governments in British Columbia/Yukon/Alberta etc.Skookum1 18:16, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: This category should NOT be used for Canadian First Nations

message: We really need to straighten out this category. Some of the entries refer to languages that the tribes spoke rather than tribes themselves. Furthermore, some tribes, such as the Ojibwa and the Cherokee, are not unified political entities, but rather are in separate groups, such as the Cherokee Nation, The Eastern Cherokee Band, The United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians, and so forth. Subcategories need to be made and the separate entitites need to be in each category. Furthermore, some of the groups here aren't even tribes, they are confederations, such as the Iroquois, which are a confederation of six separate tribes. This also needs to be addressed. Not to mention the fact that some of the articles refer to ethnic groups instead of tribes, such as the article about Muskhogean stock, Algonquian peoples, and so on. I propose renaming this category to "Native American peoples", moving the articles on languages into another category entirely, and putting subcategories for confederations and tribes that divide into separate political entities.

replies: text: I think the page was to be deleted because, according to Wikimedia policy, it more properly belongs in Wiktionary. Myself, I thought it was OK to keep the article here in WKP... but I am also able to understand the general reason for moving word definitions as such to WKT. On the other hand I think there are many other similarly 'simple' E(TLA)s covered in WKP, but perhaps those are of a different sort. Whatever. --Wernher 01:06, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Thyratron

message: Dear me! This page reads like homage to 1940s engineering, rather than state of the art technology worth several tens of millions of dollars in annual sales! Historical background is fine; actually, I am very much in favour of it, but the use of thyratrons for motor control went out with Cuban heels and flared trousers… Three pictures, supposedly illustrative of current thyratrons, not one of which is less than forty years old – probably older!
If anyone is monitoring this, I invite them to comment; failing that, or even if comments are forthcoming, I will amend this page. It should reflect a technology that while admittedly being slowly replaced by solid state devices, ain’t dead yet. Good grief! Applications include Dekatron calculators? Noise sources? Who wrote this stuff? Or is this a joke? If it is, it is in extremely poor taste. Peter Maggs 17:11, 22 October 2014 (UTC)

It is tough to think of a single category that encompasses both vacuum tubes and gas tubes and yet still conveys any meaningful data. I guess we ought to make a category called "Vacuum and gas tubes" and create subcats within there for "Vacuum tubes" and "Gas tubes".  The "Gas tubes" category could then be the home for a whole host of devices including thyratrons, Mercury vapor rectifiers, Voltage regulator tubes, Nixie tubes, Decatrons, and  the like.
What do you think about that?

message: There is some inconsistency in the way constellation articles are categorised.  Most (all?) of the current constellations have their own category, itself categorised here.  Many, but not all, of them are also directly categorised here, the parent category of the individual constellation category.  This isn't generally done, but can be in particular cases.

This multiply defective; even if "in" is added (to make it read: "Even so, Waugh died in 1966 but in the Penguin 1974 reprint he has two sons with (his wife) Domenica Plessington.") the "Even so" makes little sense given the sentence before, and the "he" in "he has two sons" appears to have Waugh as its subject. --87.115.57.135 (talk) 18:08, 3 November 2013 (UTC)

The latter part of the sentence certainly identifies her as an ex-wife, I suppose but it's a bit clumsy (a lot of the article is.)

", the rib eye is one of the most popular, juiciest, and expensive steaks on the market."
Ribeyes are somewhat expensive, i'm a meat clerk for Kroger. We sell Angus Ribeyes for $11.99 / lb, Nolan Ryan Ribeyes for $10.99 / lb, USDA select ribeyes for $10.99 / lb, and Laura's lean ribeye for $12.99 / lb. The most expensive portion of the cow is the tenderloin. If you get select its $14.99 / lb, Nolan Ryan is $14.99 / lb, and the angus is $16.99 /lb as well, so its not the most expensive.
