thread_title:  Five Years Later?? 

message: Prior to threeboot he did not have to touch something to transmute it.  His power was often depicted as a kind of beam or ray that transmuted things at range... but other times he just caused stuff to change.  
He once created a compound (at range) to defeat Mordru at the end of the Earthwar by transmuting free floating hydrogen atoms in space into soil to trigger Mordru's fear of being buried alive (though he needed a teleapathic link to Braniac 5 provided by Saturn Girl to get the correct formula (I'm going to assume there was a bit of space debris in the area from their battle as well, the ratio of hydrogen atoms in space would be quite low.    
He also was able to transmute things to special elements like kryptonite (even gold kryptonite) to use vs kryptonians or inertron, one of the most indestructible elements in the DC universe.
It is implied that he could destroy a person by simply transmuting them to a gas or something but he would never do such a thing because of his ethical code against killing.    In the L.E.G.I.O.N. comic a rogue Trommite without such ethics was able to coerce powerful heroes like Lady Quark with the threat of transmuting them to nothing.   The Legion Lost version of the character is one without such restrictions.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Aapold (talk • contribs) 11:55, 29 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Belsen Was a Gas

message: This page was proposed for deletion January 2005.  The discussion is archived at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Belsen Was A Gas.  Joyous 16:40, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
In early track listings of 'Never Mind The Bollocks', I noticed 'Belsen' was included. To see for yourself, go to www.anorakyintheuk.co.uk. It is very hard to see, but look close and you'll find it. I was just wondering if it was recorded for 'Never Mind The Bollocks' and then dumped. P.S. - If anybody has the lost Belsen tape with Rotten on the vocals, please release to the public!!!! PLEASE!!!!! User: Anonymous 19:58, Feb 22, 2005
:The currently available version of The Great Rock'n'Roll Swindle CD has the song on it, but its title is listed as "Einmal War Belson Bortrefflich". It definitely has Johnny Rotten on vocals. The next track on the CD is "Einmal War Belson Wirflich Bortrefflich" which is essentially a different recording the same song with someone else on vocals and a saxophone solo. It's clear to me that the song was meant to be sarcastic, because the Rotten version ends with the line "Be a man/Be someone/Kill someone/Kill yourself". Druff 07:17, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

message: It is it possible to change the reference when explaining what a "gas" is, The Beatles reference is completely out of place on an article about the Sex Pistols, let alone anything about punk.

message: "Einmal Belsen war vortrefflich" / "Einmal Belsen war wirklich vortrefflich":
Neither title is actually grammatically incorrect, but they would translate to "[Going through] Belsen once was (really) brilliant." So, maybe the intent was to say "Once, Belsen was (really) brilliant" which would've been "Belsen war einmal (wirklich) vortrefflich" in which case the grammatically corrct title just wouldn't have met the intent.--Sparklex (talk) 14:37, 24 October 2009 (UTC)

message: I've moved the page back to Terrestrial kingdom from Terrestrial Kingdom. The previous mover claimed that because it was a place, it should be capitalized, like "Heaven" or "Republic of South Africa". This overlooks the fact that it is not proper at all to capitalize "heaven". As the terrestrial kingdom is nowhere as concrete and definably discrete as the Republic of South Africa, I'm quite sure it's not appropriate to capitalize it. - SESmith 09:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

message: It would be nice to have some citation Naysie 10:38, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citations 

message: For a period of time, he wanted the death penalty and those around him fought it against his wishes.  Geraldo Rivera had a show (late '80s?) discussing how he wanted the death penalty but couldn't get it.  I found that somewhat curious.  I couldn't find a reference to this battle in the NY Times.
: Ross flip-flopped on the issue.  Remember that he sat on Death Row for some 20 years.  At first, he did not want the death penalty.  Thus, he pursued all of his appeals.  Then, later on, he did want the death penalty ... or, at least, he claimed that he wanted to be executed.  (Maybe it was some reverse psychology on his part, to be deemed "crazy"?)  When Ross himself dropped all of his appeals, others then stepped in ... his lawyers, his parents, probably some anti-death penalty advocates, etc.  I think that ultimately the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that all of those other people had no say-so in the matter ... and that it was Ross' decision alone to make.  This is all well documented.  You can find many articles on this legal see-saw.  This Wikipedia article also mentions some of these legal tug-of-war games.  (Joseph A.

The odd this is that Sap Yai and Chatturat aren't adjoined, thus before the split (which was in 1997) Amphoe Chatturat must have been split into two separate parts already.

Category talk:Model railroad scales

message: Not only do Americans and British use different scales, but they refer to them with different terminology.  In America, they say "HO scale", standard gauge is assumed, and scale is measured as a ratio (such as 1:87).  In Britain, they say "4 mm scale, OO gauge" and it is considered incorrect to use the letter designations for scales.  British modellers are often divided between finescalers and 'normal' scale modellers, because scale/gauge disrepancies are much worse for the commonly used British scales.  Narrow gauge terminology adds to the confusion.  In America, the most common narrow gauge is HOn3 (HO scale, narrow, 3-scale-foot gauge).  In Britain, the most common narrow gauge is OO9 (OO/4 mm scale, 9-real-millimetre gauge).  As these examples show, British narrow-gauge modellers usually use track intended for standard gauge of a smaller scale, and Americans do this less commonly.  OO9 scales to 27-inch gauge, which (as far as I know) doesn't exist.  Maybe British modellers do it this way because Britain and Europe had/have more variety of narrow gauges than the USA?
I think we should have an explanation of all this in an article.  Most articles on model railroading on Wikipedia appear to have been written by British modellers, and there isn't enough about the rest of the world.

Talk:Holographic memory

message: Well, there it goes. . . . The idea I had in 1982 to multiplex holographic storage in a transparent crystal matrix, has now been verified; now engineering work proceeds. Also in 1982, I mentioned that 'one day' I'd see this realized, and in likelihood---since I probably would not be working with any R&D teams or think tanks---I'd one day be one of those fellows who "knew the Mayor."  Yet, things like 3-D holographic storage are not amenable to kitchen table prototypes.  (Thanks for listening.) What is quite remarkable are the 3-4 schemes now for multi-plexing, including ones for rewriting.  Ways of embedding multiplexed layers inside a transparent matrix had always seemed the engineering obstacle that must be overcome; of course, corruption from neighboring embedded layers is still not a cleanly solved issue.

Some of the text occurs in a different order than it appears in the HowStuffWorks article, but it's still word-for-word.
Furthermore, the added content adds little to the article and does not integrate smoothly into the flow.  I'm a little hesitant to just blow it away because I'm a WikiNewbie and not really confident enough to do something like that.  Please advise on how I should have handled this!
