Talk:José Gonzalo Rodríguez Gacha

thread_title: Family/Personal PR

message: Seems to be rather incomplete, comparing to the Spanish Wikipedia.
Long story short, a team of around 20 elite members raided a ranch owned by him. He and his son fled in a red Chevrolet pickup truck, followed by a helicopter from the elite squad. The helicopter fired at the truck to disable it and killed his son during that process, he was sitting in the passenger seat. Gacha stepped out of the disabled vehicle, shot at the helicopter with his hand gun and screamed insulting things to the helicopter and after a short while he did commit suicide with a hand grenade.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by ChrisRoad (talk • contribs) 19:17, 30 August 2015 (UTC)

message: I have turned this article to a redirect for the following reasons:
*An article on a murderer is par se negative in tone, and raises WP:LIVING issues when the article, such as this one, is unsourced.

If you disagree with the redirection, you are naturally free to reverse it, but please provide sources backing up the article.

Talk:Dental disease

message: I do not know if this is the best name for the article.  I think a better article would be oral and maxillofacial disease of oral and maxillofacial pathology (I realize it is currently a redirect to an associated topic) so that it is inclusive of all diseases usually treated or identified by dentists.  There is even a specialty on oral and maxillofacial pathology.  If we were to really be strict on definitions, "dental" disease would be diseases affecting teeth, which would mean "gum" disease is not included as there is nothing wrong with teeth in that case. - Dozenist talk 03:42, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

message: i find this article incredibly difficult to understand. should it be rewritten in a less technical fashion? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richar4034 (talk • contribs) 23:53, 21 January 2007 
It's a very technical subject.  The detail and precise terminology does have to be there.  I oppose a wholesale rewrite, but if a less technical explanation (which would inevitably be less complete) can be added then that would be a good thing.  I'm not sure how to go about that though: I find the article very clear.  What do you suggest?  Perhaps if you ask about particular points of confusion here then this would point to ways to explain it better.  81.168.80.170 20:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  level of clarity 

message: IAU Resolution B1.9 (2000) as seen at http://syrte.obspm.fr/IAU_resolutions/Resol-UAI.htm reiterates the content of IAU Resolution A4 (1991) wherein TT is defined as a coordinate time, not a proper time.  This distinction was further explicated by Gerard Petit at IAU Joint Discussion 16 (2006, Prague) as cataloged at http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2006IAUJD..16E..21P (the actual presentation is at 
http://syrte.obspm.fr/iauJD16/petit.pdf ).  To wit, TT is defined as a linear transformation of TCG. TCG is a coordinate time, therefore TT is a coordinate time.  At the sub-nanosecond level this distinction is important. Steven L Allen 19:18, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Definition

message: Although the Dardanelles Gun is frequently cited to be the largest surviving bronze-cast gun of the period, the bronze-cast Tsar Cannon actually exceeds its dimensions in terms of caliber, length and weight. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 04:05, 23 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Largest surviving bronze-cast gun 

message: First and simplest, it seems to me that most post 1910-era large caliber naval guns equaled or exceeded the size and power of many of the land-based "superguns" described here. Why does a 16-inch gun with a range of 30 miles not count as a "supergun" when smaller-caliber land-based guns do? Next, couldn't "railguns" be considered a form of "supergun"? Just because they aren't conventional artillery? They perform the same function, yet with vastly improved capabilities (although with un-solved development problems). I notice someone added a little blurb at the bottom about a supposed new US Navy "supergun" that fires projectiles at Mach 7. I would say it's safe to assume the person is actually referring to the Electro-Magnetic Laboratory Rail Gun, a prototype 32MJ railgun under development for the USN, whuch fires projectiles at Mach 7. I added a link, but it might be good to include more detail in the article..45Colt 07:00, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Railguns, naval artillery 

message: There seems to be a contradiction between the article text, which says "at about the same time super-sized bombards were phased out in Western Europe, the technology was transmitted to the Ottoman army", and the caption of the first picture, which says "the bronze Dardanelles cannon...was the first supergun”.
The article, of course, is implying that the Ottoman gun came after many of the European ones, and therefore couldn't have been the first.

message: What exactly is a ‘cultural figure’? Could I become one? Is there a TAFE course? Some sort of surgery required?
I am reminded of the Henry Root letters, wherein we see the redoubtable Root writing to a London gossip columnist demanding to know what he meant by describing Mr Someone as ‘a man about town’.
The columnist replied rather huffily that if Root didn’t know what a ‘man about town’ is, perhaps he shouldn’t be reading the column.
‘Cultural figure’ seems like a tip-toe euphemism for something or other. Can it be something to do with what Sir Les Patterson called ‘The Yartz’?
