Talk:Hogshead

message: There is a problem with the conversion chart in respect to liters.  The initial gallon to liter conversion is correct, but then the chart treats the other units as if they were liters.
There are 63 hogshead to the US gallon, but that doesn't work out to 63 hogshead equaling 238.48 liters.
I believe the same chart is used for rundlet, barrel, tierce, hogshead, firkin, puncheon, tertian, pipe, butt, and tun, and since I can't edit that chart I'm pointing it out here.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 156.34.189.49 (talk) 19:41, 7 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/Writers

message: I struck thru Linda Aksomitis on Wikipedia:Canadian wikipedians' notice board/Writers, and removed refs on the following pages:
* List of poets
* List of Canadian writers
* List of people by name: Ak
* 1951 in Canada 
I'm pretty sure she's un-notable, in view of
* no article since being listed on List of people by name: A and then List of people by name: Ak since 06:04, 2003 Jun 12] without anyone adding a bio article
* 1200 Google hits, first two her personal site & including many WP-derived
* 4 titles on Amazon.
If i'm wrong, this is probably the best place for someone to recognize that fact & give her whatever her due is.
* "No article yet" is not, in and of itself, evidence of non-notability. To pick just three examples from the list, Matt Cohen, George F. Walker and Adele Wiseman don't have articles yet, either. And I'd be very surprised if a person's own personal page wasn't at or near the top of a Google search for their name, given that Google's supposed to rank pages by relevance to the search and all. So that one's out, too. Which leaves us with the numbers: 1200 Google hits and 4 titles on Amazon. Question being, then, are those numbers significant enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry? Personally, I think they are. Bearcat 04:11, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

message: Pluma, who seems to be a well-respected Wikipedian, questionably edited this article in November. This page had been tagged with the Copy edit template for some time, and Pluma proceeded to copy edit.

Pluma provided what seemed to be reasonable edit summaries for these edits, so I'm not sure how to approach this one. I have reverted the edits that removed content, in hopes that someone more experienced than I can determine which of these edits were warranted, and maybe figure out what, if anything, Pluma should be notified of regarding this matter.

Talk:Requiem for Methuselah

message: Whether Star Trek is sexist is one thing.  To use the example of the reactions an android, which is basically a programed machine to make the point is pointless. Besides, Kirk also doubletalked Norman, Nomad and Landru to death.  (All "male".) It seems to me Star Trek owes us one more defective female android, but it's silly to keep count.  The point was that humans can be very cruel to each other and innocent creations suffered for it. Whether the machine had a female name or male name is irrelavent. One more point, Data's daughter could have just as easily had been his son.  The choice of sex was made by the android.  The son would have failed as well- it would have been the same android. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 132.228.195.206 (talk • contribs) 
:You make a valid point but it should be kept in mind that none of the characters, including Lal, actually made ANY choices, the writers did. The choice was made that a "female" would better suit the story. It is an interesting aspect of Trek although opinions may differ as to the validity of the criticism. It holds some relevance to this episode as it, according to whomever it was who added this piece of trivia, has been used as an example of sexism in trek. 
:Unfortunately the entire section about it could use much better citations, at least there is a source for the claim that it is sexist, the statement that it isn't sexist because it's true that "men think and women feel" is oddly presented as indisputable fact. 83.255.75.227 (talk) 22:11, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Is there any known pre- circa 1980 source for the spelling "Ryetalyn" for that much-needed MacGuffin drug? The similarly spelled pharmaceutical Ritalin (which one who did not know otherwise might pronounce as "Ryetalyn") was first registered under that name in 1949 it seems, though of course it didn't become notorious before the 1980s. So I wonder if one of the script people at Star Trek might have known it, and then Paramount or whoever later invented the "Ryetalyn" spelling for the closed captions and the DVD subtitles to avoid trademark infringement?

Talk:The Innocent Age

message: Since I bought a used copy of this album in the early 1990s, I have been fascinated by two things about its track The Lion's Share.  First, Kenny Passarelli is credited with playing bass and broken twigs on it.  Nowhere else (at least not on the Internet) can I find mention of "broken twigs", literally or as an alternative name for any other instrument, being used in music.  Anyone know which, or was this a one-off innovation for that particular recording?
Second, I wonder if anyone knows the identity of "Homer" whom he addresses in this song's very first line (Grand Slam, your moment's at hand...).  Literal name, or cryptic reference?  A Grand Slam is a Home Run, or a "Homer".  Of interest is Dan's later claim that he himself was the addressee of this second-person lyric and that its topic was the creative process . . . which is almost exactly the answer he gave when asked who the likewise second-person, Greek myth-referencing Icarus Ascending (a track on his final album) was addressed to. Any ideas?

Talk:The Battery (Charleston)

message: I lived near Charleston, SC, for almost 20 years and have never heard the Battery referred to as Battery Park. White Point Gardens is one place along the Battery where the Cooper and Ashley Rivers meet. Are you sure the Battery should be called Battery Park? Sure, some Web pages and other Wikipedia entries might call it that, but are those sources reputable? I looked at several maps and guidebooks of the area and could not find one labeling The Battery or White Point Gardens Battery Park.
I agree.  The Battery is the promenade along South Battery from King St. to East Battery and then up East Battery to about Longitude Lane.  White Point Gardens is sometimes called Battery Park.  But, Battery Park is never, ever used to refer to the street of houses along the harbor.  It is not ever clear what this article is supposed to be about.  I agree that this needs to be made into "The Battery" with a separate article about White Point Gardens.--ProfReader (talk) 14:40, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Although some tourist might have posted somewhere about "battery park" there is no such place in Charleston, maybe they were confusing it with New York. I don't see any sources citing this name. An article on the Charleston Battery is not a place to list one or more misconceived names.

Talk:Alfred Wegener

message: At the end of this wiki, there is this statement which I believe is misleading or inaccurate:
"With the advent of the Global Positioning System (GPS) in 1993, it became possible to measure continental drift directly." Ref #32
Reference #32, Brady Haran (4 June 2003). "The millimetre men". BBC News UK. Archived from the original on 5 November 2011. Retrieved 6 October 2011.
There are two problems with the statement:
1. GPS does not measure continental drift "directly"
2. Continental drift was first measured in 1970
My understanding is that the radio astronomy technique of Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) is used to relate the Celestial and Terrestrial reference frames, and it is the relationship between the two, that is how continental drift is in fact measured. Therefore, using GPS to measure continental drift, is an indirect method, because it is dependent upon the product of the work done using VLBI.
The first measurements of continental drift were made using VLBI in 1970 by a team of scientists from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and MIT’s Haystack Observatory. A book by Donald Harvey Tarling, and Maureen P Tarling (originally written by Alan R. Hargreaves, one of scientists involved in the measurements) is titled "Continental drift : a study of the Earth's moving surface" and includes reference(s) to the experiments.
I hope this clarifies, what I believe is an incorrect and misleading statement about how continental drift is measured. 70.24.155.15 (talk) 05:37, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
