Talk:Sheffield Rally

message: The rally was modelled partly on United States presidential campaign conventions, partly on the German political rallies of the 1930s
The reference used to justify the above quote does nothing of the sort. The reference says some commentators thought the rally reminded them of Nuremberg, which is totally different to saying that the rally was deliberately modelled (by implication, by the Labour party) to resemble a Nazi party rally. The comparison is specious and should be removed or altered. Yorkshiresky 20:49, 17 October 2006 (UTC.)

thread_title: Source for rally's inspiration

message: The claim in the article that Kinnock was actually shouting 'well, alright' is incorrect (and an apparent attempt to rewrite history to make the incident seem slightly less embarrassing) - I just saw the clip shown on TV for the nth time and he's clearing shouting 'we're alright'.

thread_title: We're alright

message: "Some accounts suggest the event only receiving widespread attention after the election,[5] an opinion Kinnock shared in April 2010: "It wasn't until about ten days after the election that people started writing about the 'hubristic Sheffield rally' and all the rest of it."
The above paragraph, currently in this article, is complete myth. The BBC election night footage (available online) clearly shows multiple discussions of this calamitous rally on the night of the election. 70.172.198.185 (talk) 17:50, 18 August 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Totally agree. At 3:55:45  of the BBC's coverage, David Dimbleby asks John Smith about the "triumphalism of the Sheffield rally which looked as though it was already in the bag for Labour". The idea that no one noticed the rally until after the election is a myth.--Britannicus (talk) 19:02, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Lattice constant

message: A question: is the article not self-contradictory in first stating, 
"However, in the special case of cubic crystal structures, all of the constants are equal and we only refer to a."
and then stating, 
"Lattice constants differ for different axes in the crystal structure, except in the case of non-cubic crystals."
Is there something I'm missing?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.204.4 (talk) 07:51, August 24, 2007 (UTC) 
:No, everything in that sentence is either redundant or wrong. Or rather, was, sine I just axed it. --DrTorstenHenning 12:49, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the statement was simply redundant. In the case of cubic structures, the constants are all equal and thus the lattice constants show no variations depending on the axis of preference. --Jbstiller13 (talk) 22:13, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

message: The article should mention early that often the lattice constant is often of a multi-atom basis. For diamond, it is the side of a cube. The result is that diamond electrically has cubic symmetry, even though it doesn't have a cubic lattice. (The index of refraction is independent of the direction.) Simple cubic (one atom cubic cell) is very rare. FCC and BCC are fairly common. Gah4 (talk) 17:15, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Ward Kimball

replies: text: Well, I'm not one who believes that uniqueness can't have degrees; the sentence seems to be saying that while many animators at Disney had unique styles, Kimball's was especially unique -- that is, even more different from lesser animators' efforts.  But I do agree that it can read awkwardly; I think just saying that his efforts "stand out" is sufficient, rather than saying they "stand out as especially unique".

Talk:Rodrigo de Triana

message: I deleted all references to and quotations from this "diary".  There's no such thing; a look on Google Book Search seems to indicate it first popped up around 1950 in bargain bin quality Jewish history books.

thread_title: The "diary" of Luis de Torres 

message: I don't see any indication in the provided quote that de Triana was in the "crow's nest."

Talk:Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés

message: I see that this article has been renamed recently with the simple comment, "common name".  I would disagree with the assertion that Gonzalo Oviedo is the more common version of Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo y Valdés. Most history books use the longer version; occasionally the "y Valdes" is omitted but I almost never see it shortened to just Gonzalo Oviedo.  Glendoremus (talk) 04:10, 7 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, agreed. While he may be called just 'Oviedo' for brevity in running text, don't think I've ever seen him called 'Gonzalo Oviedo'. It also would not make much sense in terms of the way spanish personal naming conventions work: 'fernandez' is not a given or middle name, it's part of his patronímico (although there are varying accounts as to how he came by it). So I've moved it back to his 'full' name, which is commonly used and is incidentally how his own works were signed. --cjllw ʘ TALK 06:55, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Debye–Waller factor

message: The article still has serious problems.
* The B-factor, or temperature factor, is defined in the PDB as  B = 8 \pi^2 \left\langle u^2 \right\rangle . This has units (of Angstrom^2 in the PDB) and is distinct from the DWF as defined in the article. Indeed, high quality = low uncertainty = low value of this B (as stated in the article), while obviously for the DWF as defined in the article, high quality ~ 1, low quality ~ 0. I don't seem to find references that clarify the different uses of the terms.
* I have seen references that (in the terms of the above)  DWF = B \cdot \sin^2(\theta)/\lambda^2 . Using  q = 4 \pi \, \sin(\theta)/\lambda  this seems to give  DWF = q^2 \left\langle u^2 \right\rangle / 2 , while in the article it is explained why  DWF = q^2 \left\langle u^2 \right\rangle / 3 . So it seems there's also some mixup in the coefficients.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Schreib70 (talk • contribs) 16:15, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

message: There should be something about consequences of the Debye-Waller factor here, for example that it suppresses peaks corresponding to high values of \mathbf{q}. This is obvious from the formula, but it should be mentioned because it actually explains why peaks in a typical I(2\theta) spectrum become smaller from left to right and eventually disappear. --2A00:1398:9:FB01:120B:A9FF:FE22:BA68 (talk) 13:45, 14 November 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Ballistic conduction

message: The sentence in question (third paragraph): The mean free path can be increased by reducing the number of impurities in a crystal or by raising its temperature.
By raising the temperature one creates more phonons, on which the electrons can scatter, thus reducing the mean free path. Therefore, unless other temperature dependent factors dominate, the sentence should read: The mean free path can be increased by reducing the number of impurities in a crystal or by lowering its temperature.

replies: text: @23485ß6739: This is only true in conductors. Drude theory of metals gives that mean free path and mean free time are both vary inversely as the square root of temperature. In statistical physics, fluid dynamics, the ideal gas law gives a mean free path that varies as temperature, though. So it depends on the medium. Footlessmouse (talk) 06:58, 19 August 2020 (UTC)
