Talk:Ahmose-Nefertari

message: Charles Bélanger Nzakimuena has been blocked from this page for a month. Discussion has quieted down in his absence, so the extremely long talk page section titled "Article neutrality" has stopped expanding. I've taken the liberty of archiving it, and the sections that preceded it, simply because this page was becoming too long to navigate. If discussion starts up again once the block expires, as seems likely, the page will then be easier to read. A. Parrot (talk) 20:19, 4 February 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: To comment on content, the extent of the archiving seemed excessive, and rushing to archive ongoing and evolving content (directly following unilateral external involvement) hardly appropriate. Certain situations appear unlikely to recur (apparently and importantly, "there is no fixed limit for how many edits you can make to a talk page").  It seems to me that great care should be applied when taking discretionary actions, and that intervening in matters of subjectivity should not be confused with limiting the expression of objective truths (however inconvenient).

message: A photograph of a statuette was added to the section which discusses the mummy and actually replaced the photograph of the mummy itself.  The photograph of the mummy is valuable and the identification of the mummy is not disputed.  I added a photograph of a statuette in the section beneath instead, where a statue is discussed.  I used the statuette reflecting the most common depiction (with black or purplish black complexion).

thread_title:  Statuette 

message: I did a spot-check of the major edits that Charles conducted on April 10th, and some are not in accordance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Two specific edits that needed reversion are: this attempt to obfuscate the unreliability of Bernal as a source.  this misrepresentation of Gitton as a source (the claim that Gitton backs Davies has been repeatedly debunked, see the above section).. There are other edits after these that do not appear controversial, however I was forced to use a manual rollback as the issues that were introduced could not be undone without it. I will attempt to reinstate those. Mr rnddude (talk) 02:26, 11 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I've double checked each edit, and I was mistaken regarding Gitton. Charles does note the fact that Gitton does not agree with Davies' estimate later in the same section of that edit. My apologies. I have thus reinstated that edit as well. A couple edits I did not reinstate:   - Needs an inline citation, as this can't obviously be cited to Gardiner himself.  Any edits in which references were removed, these were only partially reinstated to include the added citations. Mr rnddude (talk) 02:56, 11 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Grill (cryptology)

message: On WP, there is a convention (now entreched beyond change) which puts cryptography as the highest classification, with other topics as branches from it. This has the beneficial effect of avoiding competitive duplicative article trees and confusing readers. As noted at cryptography#terminology (and discussed in talk:cryptography, perhaps now archived, at talk:Marian Rejewski, and at Talk;Wikiproject Cryptography) WP takes the position that cryptology and cryptography are essentially synonyms. Other languages clearly do not. So, in this instance, this article should probably be titled grill (cryptography), but there is already a grille (cryptography) which also has pride of place historically, going back to Cardan in Italy. So I would suggest in this case, the title might best be grill (cryptanalysis). Thoughts? ww 04:59, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Physical optics

message: Why distinguish between Physical Optics and Optics?Gfutia 07:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Optics has traditionally been treated using simplified linear models of ray propagation. This is called "geometric optics". Physical optics is the branch of optics that models the actual propagation of light as a wave. In particular, physical optics can include the effects of diffraction and interference. So, not all optics is physical. Some of it is geometric. Many common optical concepts, like focal length only have precise meaning in geometric optics. --Srleffler 17:30, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Olympiapark (Munich)

message: It seems strange to me that the Olympic Village has been left off the list of component of the Olympic Park. If I am not mistaken, its not an actual part of the "Park" now, but it is still included in the German language version of this page (and methinks they would be the experts on this subject). Considering that the Black September terrorist incident took place there, I think it would be worthwhile to include it in the list and create an article for it.

thread_title:  Olympic Village 

message: Just wondering, but why are some of the names of Park in English (Olympic Stadium rather than Olympiastadion) and some are in German (Olympiaschwimhalle rather than Olympic Swim Halle). Perhaps they should either all be in English or German and have the actual articles be something to the affect of "Olympic Swim Hall, Munich" to differentiate it from other Olympic swim halls. Just a thought. Later on today I'll try and unify it as well as include what I talked about above. Douglas Whitaker 16:05, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:IBM UniData

message: The article as it stands is inaccurate.  UniVerse is the older of the two operating environments, created in the early 1980's.  In the early days of its creation, much of the product's direction was influenced by dealers and VARs of Prime Information systems.  These dealers were not pleased with Prime's support for the Information product and sought an operating environment that they could migrate their applications to.  They approached Vmark, the developers of UniVerse, and offered financial support and license purchases in exchange for development that made UniVerse support the Prime Information environment more transparently.  In the middle 1980's, the UniData corporation began offering UniData, which, while it outwardly resembled UniVerse, was internally constructed in a much different manner.  Vmark and the UniData Corporation decided to merge and the resultant corporation was named Ardent, which also acquired a multi-value 4GL product called System Builder (now SB+).  Informix purchased Ardent, using some of the two operating environment's ideas in their signature database.  In 2000, IBM purchased Informix's database offerings and are now selling UniVerse and UniData under the name 'U2'.

Talk:Senate of Liberia

message: In Senate elections, the two candidates who obtain the highest number of votes in their respective county are elected.
The 15 candidates who finished first (known as 'Senior Senators') will serve a nine-year term, while the remaining 15 candidates who finished second (known as 'Junior Senators') will serve a six-year term.
This makes no sense.  If this is correct, then the Senior Senators' terms will not end in the same year as the Junior Senators.  The Senior Senators elected in 2005 would hold their office until 2014, while the Junior Senators' terms would end in 2011.
The only way I can make sense of this is that every 18 years (2005 being hte most recent such year), when the Senior and Junior Senators' elections co-incide, they run together, with the candidate with more votes being Senior, and the 2nd most being Junior, while in other years, only 15 senators run for office.
Is my guess correct, or is the information given here completely wrong, or what? Nik42 05:17, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I am concerned this may be have copyright issues, so I've sent the original contributor the following email.  We'll see what response, if any, is forthcoming.
:About a month ago, you contributed an article to Wikipedia on Elsie Eaves, the engineer.  It's quite nice, and we certianly ought to have an article on Ms. Eaves.  However, what you contributed reads as if it was originally written for something else, other than Wikipedia.  I'm concerned that there may be copyright issues related to it.  Can you explain it's provanence further, i.e. what it was originally written for?  Otherwise, we may have to remove it, or fully re-write it, simply because we don't want to accidentally infringe someone's copyright.  While you may respond by email if you wish, it would be best if you explain on the article's talk page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Elsie_Eaves - that way your answer will be visible to everyone.

Talk:Cucumis metuliferus

message: Similar to very watered-down guanabana, because the tartness is very mild. This mixes well with homemade lemon/limeaid, guanabana pulp, cucumber and adds a fresh green color. Kiwano melon juice is wonderful to cleanse the palate more gently than lemon sorbet. Make ice cubes with the juice to add color contrast in drinks, or mild flavor to ice water.

The metal ion is coordinated and not actually bound. While this might be okay for the histidine groups, the hydroxide group should definitely not be connected with the ion.

message: What is special about zink and cadmium?  These atoms are at the end of the first and second transition groups and have full d shells whose electrons have an energy just below that of the valence s electrons.  In a compound the d electrons mix in to the bonds to some extent leaving a d type vacancy.  The empty d orbital is long and thin with lobes sticking out of the atom in opposite directions and having the same sign of the wave function.  This is similare to the wave function of the pi electrons on the liniar CO2 molecule which stick out on opposite sides of the central carbon atom with the same sign.  Thus the CO2 molecule sticks to the Zn or Cd donating an electron to the d shell and leaving it positivly charged and with a vacancy so that it is easy for the negitively charged oxygen atom of H2O to react with it. 89.139.194.69 01:03, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Demerara (sugar)

message: Horsefeathers! (ESOL: nonsense). This just °has° to be the real stuff. Our local big supermarket (Dutch owned, iirc), carries a huge variety of edibles and drinkables, and it was there that I discovered muscovado and demerara. I loved them both, but their prices were quite steep, maybe $10/kg?, although packaged maybe as ¼ kilo or so. I'd tried piloncillo a few years ago, and loved it. 
For much of my life, I have disliked white sugar for several reasons. A primary one is that it's unhealthy, being mercilessly stripped of all nutrients save the basic sugar. White sugar's cultural history is also something we forget; the upper classes in Europe wanted utter whiteness in their flour and sugar, having the weird notion that (like skin color, an equally invalid idea) darker was inferior. Long ago (I'm 72), J.I. Rodale made me aware that white sugar and white flour really should not be staples of one's diet, and ever since, I've much preferred brown sugar and whole wheat at a minimum.
I used to be fond of Mars candy bars, but hated the painful burn left in the back of my throat, apparently caused by the refined sweeteners they (and Snickers, as well as countless other similar candy bars) used back then. I still get throat burn from contemporary sweeteners, and eat a KitKat only every few weeks on average.
A revelation, some time back, was that brown sugar is white sugar with molasses mixed in. Big disappoinment.
There matters sat, until turbinado and its likes (a trademarked Floridian brand I forget; Sucanat?) came along. They seemed like a good idea. Then, as I said earlier, I discovered muscovado and demerara, but re-stocking was a long wait. I spotted La Fe brand azúcar negro, (not "moreno"? Why?) a.k.a. demerara, and Not Costly. Bought some, and was delighted again.
While doing my usual raster scan :) of the aisles, went past the Domino sugars as usual, and was amazed to see Domino brand demerara, from Mauritius. When my current 2 lb. (almost 1 kg) of La Fe ran out, the shelf space for La Fe demerara had been bare for a few weeks, and I bought Domino demerara. Loved it. Better packaging, too.
Now, shelf space in supermarkets is apparently paid for by the suppliers, and they pay a lot, apparently. Did Domino pay my supermarket to stop stocking Goya? I'll probably never know.
I would be exceedingly reluctant to eat a spoonful of white sugar, but I have eaten straight demerara in rather-large quantities as a snack with no ill effects except a tiny increase in waist girth. Combined with Al Akdar (not "Akbar") brand sesame tahini, demerara makes a delicious topping for good multigrain bread. Spread on the tahini, then a generous layer of demerara, don't tilt it, and crunch happily.
I recently tried demerara as a hot-cereal sweetener, used lots of it, and it was delicious.
I'm so glad it's not chemically-pure white sugar!
It's the Real Stuff, nutrients and all, seems to me! (The article needs a lot more about, or a link to another one, about refining sugar, btw.)
I agree these can be merged, and any differences betwen them addressed. Wxidea (talk) 13:05, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Olympiotes

message: This article is so sloppy and poorly researched I cannot make any sense of it.
"The Olympiotes were a group of Greek military refugees. Before the arrival of the Ottomans, they went into the mountains between Thessaly and Macedonia. They even sought refuge in the Straits of Thermopylae. Along with the Roumeliotes, the Olympiotes contributed to the overthrow of the administration of George Capodistrias."
*"The Olympiotes"? Why not define the meaning of that word properly? Obviously, "-iotes" refers to "inhabitants of...". But of what? Olympia? Mount Olympus? (Probably the latter). Why doesn't it state that "the mountains between Thessaly and Macedonia" is just where Mount Olympus is?
*What's "military refugees"? Who did they flee from? When? Did they remain "refugees" for 500 years? All of them?
*"Refuge" in the "Straits" (sic) of Thermopylae? When? From whom? How? You'd think it's not a good place to hide yourself...
*Who are the "Roumeliotes"? (I know who they are, but the reader won't).
*"contributed to the overthrow...": When? How? Why? All of them? "George" (sic) Capodistrias??
