Talk:Scavengers (game show)

message: This is the initial article, I will expand it as I discover more sources and find more information.
* I have expanded on how the game was played (I was an avid watcher of the show, even as it got shafted to Saturday afternoon here in Australia) and cleaned up some of the IMdb copy (facts already had been corrected from said copy, just needed a copyedit). However, it leaves some of the remaining sections hanging - I don't know whether some of it could be considered original research too without further reference. While I believe my additions are accurate, I cannot find sources to back it up online (information about the game is very scarce on-line - probably befitting its eventual profile on ITV!), and would be difficult to get other offline sources, not being a Brit. If someone can verify or fix these claims, they'd be a help -Spiky Sharkie [ talk ] 12:36, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
Talk:List of bus routes in Nassau County, New York

message: Is there really a rule that the N65, N66, and N67 are only open to people with student MetroCards?  The LI Bus schedules pages say that these routes only run on school days, but it doesn't say anything about a restriction on who can ride.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.190.166.162 (talk) 20:02, 18 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Can somebody archive the Revised LI Bus changes? The MTA takes down these documents after a year or so (I can't access the farebox recovery ratio for these routes anymore, so they'll probably take it down soon).

thread_title: Comments in 2011

message: The schedules released by NICE prior to the transfer use a lower-case "n" as the county identifying suffix as opposed to a upper-case "N".  However, this is not reflected on the buses themselves.  While NICE may choose to use "n" instead of "N" on the schedules, this should not be taken literally in the articles.  Because "N" still appears on the buses, and to keep the NICE-related articles in line with the rest of the NYC regional bus services, the upper-case "N" should be retained.

replies: text: I rode the newly-truncated N79 this week from end-to-end.  NICE has tweaked the format of the electronic display in front of the buses, but I did not notice any lower-case "n".  I'd rather keep the letter in its upper case form no matter what. DreamMcQueen (talk) 23:39, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

text: I think we should leave it with the uppercase N until all buses have been resigned and all stop signs replaced. That could take up to 18 months, according to NICE. After that is done, change it to lowercase. (why not?)— Train2104 (talk • contribs) 01:11, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Talk:2182 kHz

message: First off, I got to this page through the horlogery category listing. I don't know if that's correct. Though the i believe the 2182kHz may refer to a "tick number", the number of repeated movements a watch makes per hour.
Secondly, the article talks about a mandatory silence period but fails to mention why this is so. <BR>
Other than that I learned something new again :) --Jimius (talk) 11:05, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

text: BTW, "kHz" or "kilocycles" would mean that a quantity is in units of thousand per second, not per hour. 32.768kHz is the standard digital watch crystal, vibrating 32768 or 215 times per second. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 22:57, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Silence Period and Horlogery 

message: In the RANGE section the article states: "At night a well equipped station can achieve INTRA-continental communication", this should be changed to INTER-continental.
INTRA means within, INTER means between. 
An intra-continental communication is restricted to the same continent where the signal opriginated. INTER-continental means between one or more continents.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.7.74.74 (talk) 06:18, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it was correct before - intercontinental communications generally requires a range of a few thousand miles. This is possible at frequencies like 14 MHz, but not in the 2 MHz band. Either way, the statement was unclear and uncited, so I have removed it. I left in the bit about lightning and other static as that is definitely true and provides the main limitation on range. It also shows why the range varies from night to night, so that hard-and-fast statements cannot really be made. Similarly for VHF, although high-pressure weather can produce extraordinary effects, the normal reliable range depends mostly on antenna height. --Nigelj (talk) 17:56, 9 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: RANGE

message: This section states: "In order to operate a marine radio transceiver on 2182 kHz, the operator must hold a GMDSS General Operating Certificate". 
this is incorrect. While a GMDSS Operator can operate a radio on 2182 KHz, this is not the only class of commercial operator authority.
GROL, MROP, and the holders of Radiotelegraph license holders can also operate 2182 KHz radios.207.7.74.74 (talk) 06:49, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Schade, Deutschland, alles ist vorbei 

message: Because, I'm sure from Holland's point of view this is all very real and true, but for something to be a rivalry both sides must hold a similar opinion about the rivalry and be of similar caliber. It terms of caliber, Holland doesn't come close to Germany's soccer record. Germany has won more WCs en ECs and taken part in more tournaments. And Germany doesn't see Holland as a rival, it sees Holland as a quaint little neighbour, much like Austria. This whole rivalry strikes me as an angry mouse getting ready to fight a lion, and the lion is barely aware of the mouse, yet for the mouse it's a heroic and epic battle. I've lived in both countries, and I'm just not sure it exists in Germany, or at least to the degree that it does in Holland. Like I said: Holland is hardly a rival to Germany. Brazil, or Italy those are German rivals. Vince (talk) 13:00, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Intro currently has "(pronounced /seɪkjʊərɨteɪ/ [stress unknown],[1] from French sécurité)," but there is no stress on individual syllables en français - the French words stress each syllable equally. --66.102.80.212 (talk) 08:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I see it has now been tagged "fix:where's the stress?" This is a good question. My memory is that in radio procedure, the recommendation is to stress each syllable equally, for clarity, but I cannot at the moment find any reference to back that up. I think that modern-day instructional material for members of the public tries to keep everything as simple as possible: it would be good enough if the public could remember, first to use a radio rather than a mobile phone, then which type of call to make, and to identify themselves, their position etc, rather than telling them how to stress a word. I don't think the comment above is quite right; in French you would stress the last syllable, but as a radio pro-word I'm sure you're meant to try to keep the stress, emphasis and syllable length equal. I'll keep looking for references for this. --Nigelj (talk) 17:07, 5 March 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Bill Bain (consultant)

message: This biography reads like a press release, especially given the story of Mr. Bain's bailed-out companies as recently (September 2012) reported in the Rolling Stone. Until it is properly expanded, it should contain a cautionary warning.
We all accept (if not respect) the fact that interested parties create and edit Wikipedia pages, but they do ring Orwellian when they gloss unpleasant facts. Perhaps Mr. Bain's hired guns are hoping that no one will notice. I suspect that they will be the only readers of Mr. Bain's brief bio -- and of these comments.

message: My personal opinion is that this should simply be called Soutra, not Soutra Aisle. I have lived in the Scottish Lowlands all my life and never heard it referred to as anything other than Soutra. All the ancient references refer to the Hospital and Church at Soutra (or Soltra). No 'Aisle'. David Lauder 13:45, 20 January 2007 (UTC)
