message: I know this isn't the usual place to request this, and you folks are busy with more important projects, but I wonder if we could get some brief opinion on an edit dispute in Tesla coil.

thread_title:  Expert opinion for edit dispute in [[Tesla coil]] 

message: This page seems to be pretty moribund.  Most of the material is unsigned and undated but the articles in question have moved on enormously since the entry was made.  I have made a first pass at clearing out the obviously unneeded stuff but the page is still a mess.  Information on the same article is split over several sections and the lack of signatures makes it difficult to work out what is going on.  Also, proposing merges on this page seems a bit pointless as there is an established, and more widely seen, templating system for achieving merges.
I propose to refactor the page to an article-per-subheading basis keeping only those entries for which an article is still required, the article is templated as still having a problem, or there is an active discussion.  Everything else to be moved to an archive page. SpinningSpark 13:09, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Portal talk:Judaism/Weekly Torah portion

message: The subpages which are transcluded onto this page are adapted from the corresponding independent articles about each Torah portion. The subpages here are generally not footnoted, but the original pages on each Torah portion are footnoted.
* When the transcluded page is a regular weekly Torah portion, you can visit the independent article by clicking on the name of the portion here.
* When the transcluded page is for a holiday reading, you would need to find the article on the corresponding regular Torah portion(s); clicking on the name of the holiday will take you to the article on the holiday.
That the code on this page correctly transcludes the current portion of the week can be corroborated from any number of Internet sites publishing Jewish calendars. A definitive printed source for this is Arthur Spier's The Comprehensive Hebrew Calendar, the latest edition of which (as far as I know at this writing) is , from 1986. (In a way, there is little need for the printed volume now, exactly because the information is widely available online.) StevenJ81 (talk) 17:38, 16 October 2019 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: The sidebar on this article summarizes the Court's finding that the new charter "did not constitute a violation of the constitutional prohibition on ex post facto laws." I find no evidence that the ex-post-facto verbiage was in dispute, and I don't believe the case deals with an ex-post-facto issue. Ex-post-facto is not synonymous with the contracts clause, though it does appear there. Please clarify or remove.

thread_title: "Ex Post Facto"

message: "The public started to complain about having to continue to pay tolls after the bridge’s profits had far surpassed the original capital, with interest; but the new investors did not care. In their opinion, they had paid a large sum for the bridge stock, and they were not about to stop collecting tolls until they themselves had turned a profit. These proprietors decided not to meet any of the public’s demands, and they refused both to improve services and reduce tolls."
Is there support for this? All the sources that I've seen indicate that the Charles Bridge investors became almost desperate to compromise with the Mass. legislature, even on the tolls issue, after bills to authorize the new bridge were introduced. See, for example Kutler's famous bio on the case, Privilege and Creative Destruction.

thread_title:  "many" 

message: This article has been reviewed as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force in an effort to ensure all listed Good articles continue to meet the Good article criteria. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed. 
*The lead is very short, please expand it to include a more detailed discussion of the contrasting accounts and a better picture of Oleg's reign as reported in the sources.
:*Could do with being a bit longer even (say 2 paragraphs) but this is not serious enough to bar confirmation as GA
*"the Varangian Helgi" - Is this Oleg? If not, why does Oleg appear without introduction later in the sentence? If it is, why is this form used without explanation?
*"Oleg of the East Slavic chronicles" This section needs introducing - what are the "East Slavic chronicles" and what is their relevence to Russian history? Why should their account carry any particular weight? This is sort of covered below, but it should be in at the start, otherwise the section is confusing.
*"romanticised by Pushkin in his celebrated ballad," - what ballard? link to it or at least name it.
*"the Schechter Letter's account is in sync with " - in sync is not encyclopedic, would "corroborated by" be appropriate here?
*I have added a  tag, please address it by referencing which of the sources it was that made this suggestion.
I will check back in no less than seven days. If progress is being made and issues are being addressed, the article will remain listed as a Good article. Otherwise, it may be delisted (such a decision may be challenged through WP:GAR). If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAN.

replies: text: No, it has not been solved, and won't be for some time. According to my calculations the "Wirth index space" for 6x6 chess has 953,068,026,849,251,983,979,127,533,135 (9.5x10^29) entries. This is smaller than the number of physical positions, but is the effective size of the game since it takes in account board symmetries and other reductions. The comparable figure for regular chess is around 10^45. Johnmkominek 04:11, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

message: At pp. 1005-6 of Reamde, Stephenson has Richard Forthrast refer three times (within a page-worth of text) to "the A.I." (or is there a blank, i.e. "the A. I."?), a weapon captured from Jahandar, in a context that suggests a sniper rifle. The book [doesn't seem to have used the name or abbr elsewhere, and arguably NS acknowledges that, cryptically, by following the first of the three (addressed to Seamus) with the continuity-preserving (or -restoring) sentence fragment "For he had recognized Jahandar's rifle and assumed Seamus had done the same." But he comes close to clarifying the abbreviation only to the extent of insinuating that RF was familiar enuf with at least the appearance of the weapon (and with its prominence within its specialty) that he wouldn't bother to focus, in his own internal conversation, on what the letters stand for. (This is a grade of carefully-crafted writing that obsessive-compulsives like myself heartily admire!)   I don't think that is sufficient evidence (of widespread use of "A.I." as an abbreviation for the manufacturer or its product(s)) to justify mention of it on  the accompanying article, A.I. (disambiguation), or A. I. (disambiguation), but perhaps some of my gun-nut colleagues will be in a position to add it to the Dab page.--Jerzy•t 05:35, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Magnetic field density

message: This picture from the article illustrates the left-hand rule, which is used for determining the direction of the magnetic force F for a given magnetic field B and an electric current I. But this rule could only be applied to the very special situation when the three vectors F, B and I are all perpendicular to each other. I think it is important to provide the general expression with cross product, which could be apply to general situations even if F, B and I are not perpendicular to each other. Should we add that to the article? It seems that the German version of the article is doing a pretty good job on that. We can have some reference on the German version. - Alanmak 23:41, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
