Talk:Kachemak Bay

message: Kachemak Bay article includes:  Kachemak Bay is home to Alaska's only state wilderness park, Kachemak Bay State Park.  So does this mean Kachemak Bay State Park is the only state park that has wilderness or is it referring to Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park that is not adjacent to Kachemak Bay?  I'm not trying pick it apart, but am considering rewriting and was also considering including Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park. Is Kachemak Bay State Wilderness Park to far from the bay to be appropriate in this article? Sunbelt alaska (talk) 01:21, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does wilderness Park mean?

message: " The name derives from a Yupik term meaning "large cliff by the water". It was previously referred to as Chugachnik Gulf."
:*I have never heard this before, but I have been told numerous times that it means "smoky bay". The fact that a plethora of businesses in the area have this phrase in their name would tend to support this, but that is by no means a source. Hence, I removed this content from the article as it is unsourced. I'll try to find something solid one way or another. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:29, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

text: In the interim I have tried to verify that meaning. I asked some Natives and they all said it means "Smoky Bay" but I couldn't find it written down anywhere. If you have a book that verifies it then by all means it should be added to the article. Beeblebrox (talk) 23:15, 10 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Great American Scream Machine (Six Flags Over Georgia)

message: When the nearby Chattahoochee River floods, the Scream Machine can be fully immersed in several feet of water.
I seriously doubt the Scream Machine can become "fully immersed" (become completely under water).  I don't doubt that some portions can be underwater, but not the entire ride.  Where's the reference for this claim? Shawn D. 17:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fully Immersed?  Not Likely. 

message: It's misleading if not incorrect to suggest that flooding may necessitate the removal of this ride--if any timber rots or needs upkeep for any other reason, it is replaced.  The park has never indicated that floods from the Chattahoochee River would mean that the ride has any long term structural problems.  In addition, the flooding section is poorly written.

thread_title:  re: merge with half-metal 

message: The value of 4 eV quoted as "e.g." the delimiter between semiconductors and insulators is misleadingly excessive. Practically only diamond has more than 4 eV, and even silicium is a pretty good insulator, with a gap of 1.1 eV, which is why it needs to be doped for applications. 1 eV is 11600 Kelvin, which gives an idea of the suppression of carrier density at room temperature (300 K) by the Nernst factor, e^(-42.5) for Si.

thread_title: Untitled

message: The article states that Otto v. Kotzebue was "a Baltic German in the service of Russia", as though Kotzebue were employed by a foreign power. The Baltic German nobility derives from Medieval times, when the Teutonic Knights were in control of the present Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania). In Kotzebue's day, however, these states were part of the Russian Empire, so it was natural for Kotzebue, who was born in Tallinn, Estonia, to be "in the service of Russia". One wouldn't say, e.g., "Colonel David Stirling (1915-90), a Scot in the service of Britain", would one?--Death Bredon (talk) 11:35, 25 November 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Symbology? 

message: In one episode of the anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, Kyon asks the bored, constantly-complaining Haruhi if she has ever heard the story of 'the bluebird of happiness'.   Haruhi irritatedly responds that she has not, and Kyon gives up and doesn't explain it further, acting as if Haruhi has missed the point of his question.
-- First of all her response was 'sore ka nan ne?' (roughly: "What about it?").  Secondly, merely being mentioned (especially in passing) does not justify the inclusion of Haruhi in this article.  The show is in no way an example or reference to the Bluebird of Happiness, not even in the case of the conversation in question.
-- I just edited the reference out of the first block. Doubtless someone will revert it, but come on people. It's referenced in They Might be Giants' 'Birdhouse in Your Soul', but that doesn't help to explain the concept either. Bieeanda (talk) 17:21, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mention in [[The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya]] 

message: I have added seven links to "Bluebird of Happiness" in other Wikipedia articles, to wit: "Little Mary Sunshine," "April Showers," "Blue Skies," "Charmaine," "Over the Rainbow," "The White Cliffs of Dover," and "Zippity Do Dah."  The six named songs, along with "Bluebird Singing in My Heart" and "I'm Always Chasing Rainbows" (which have no Wikipedia articles), all use the bluebird as a symbol of happiness and cheer.  (I've added this information to the article.)
I guess the seven external links mean the article is no longer an orphan.  So does anyone know how to remove the orphan tag at the top of the article?

thread_title: Censorship

message: Having just watched a quite tough (for Colleen Graffy) Hard Talk program on BBC News 24, I find this stub article misleading at best.
There is effectively only one line constructed from an extract [2] taken from her biography on the U.S. Department of State's website and it is nowhere near expansive enough to give a full and accurate picture of her background and credentials.
Since the "Copyright Information" link on the U.S. State Department's site positively encourages wider use of its material and the bio itself is quite concise, I'm curious to know why the author of this stub article chose not to cross copy and refer to it (her State Department bio) verbatim in order to give the reader a much richer picture about the subject?
Oh and the program/interview was extremely good by the way... Stephen Sackur lived up to the program's name!

message: This article is not accurate, and very outdated. It seems that the text was written in 1888 and has been copied and pasted word for word:
in 1873 [Edward Morley] was called to fill a similar chair in Cleveland medical college, both of which places he now (1888) fills; and
It is anticipated that his studies in collaboration with Albert A. Michelson (completed in 1887) will lead to important conclusions regarding the luminiferous aether and its effects upon the velocity of light.
