Talk:William Upski Wimsatt

message: I'm currently reading "Bomb the Suburbs" and I strongly recommend it to anyone out there.  I look forward to reading his other books when done.  I'm not sure if review of books is part of a valid article on an author, but I may try to add a bit to the article and see if it gets reverted...  I'm thinking about adding a line about the essay mentioned several times in his first book "We use words like Mackadocious..." which sounds like a valueable and honest viewpoint on race relations and general hip-hop culture.  I believe it's still relevant today (the Essay was published in May 1993) and worth reading.

Talk:Overconsumption (economics)

message: As it stands, the definition of Overconsumption listed on this page: 
"Overconsumption describes a situation where the use of a renewable natural resource exceeds its capacity to regenerate. A prolonged pattern of overconsumption leads to the eventual loss of resource bases."
Is synonymous with the definition of Overexploitation listed on that page: 
"Overexploitation, also called overharvesting, refers to harvesting a renewable resource to the point of diminishing returns. Continued overexploitation can lead to the destruction of the resource."
Google lists the definition as overconsumption as "The action or fact of consuming something to excess.", and gives an example: the overconsumption of alcohol.
The editors of the Overexploitation page created it from a natural resource perspective and were curious if this page was made from a more Consumption perspective, due to its first header being "Economic growth". If so, it may be beneficial to at least change the beginning definition of this page to not include natural resources, but instead to talk about resources from an economic perspective e.g. as given on the Consumption page. I was thinking we could put something like the following: "Overconsumption describes a situation where a consumer overuses their available goods and services to where they can't, or don't want to, replenish them. In microeconomics, this may be described as the point where the marginal cost of a consumer is greater than their marginal utility." The idea here being that "overconsumption" refers to not only natural resources, but also man-made resources -- which means all resources in general, creating a more economic perspective.
Would anyone be opposed to me rewriting the definition of Overconsumption here as such?

Talk:Whip antenna

message: I think it could be better to move the theory into "monopole antenna" article (now redirect to "whip antenna"), stress there the differences against the dipole antenna, and keep only the whip-specific issues here.

Bernd in Japan 14:06, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  propose merging with "Rubber Ducky Antenna" 

message: I have deleted the statement that a whip has 3 dB gain over a dipole.  I believe this confusion arose from the fact that a quarter wave antenna modelled over a perfect ground shows gain over a dipole in free space.  This is a meaningless comparison.  A dipole over a perfect ground will have 3 dB additional gain since all of the energy is confined to the upper hemisphere. In addition the pattern is modified. The total gain can be as high as 6 dB for horizontally polarization at the peak of the main lobe.  I don't remember the exact value for vertical polarization but think it the same. For real ground the Brewster's angle and other complications arise.  Of course in all cases it varies with the take off angle and the height above the ground.  A fairer comparison would be between an elevated ground plane (ground plane antenna or whip on a car top) and an elevated vertical dipole both at a fixed distance above a perfect or real ground.  The dipole will have slightly higher gain. Rather than introduce all of this complication, I think it best to simply delete the 3 dB gain statement.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JNRSTANLEY (talk • contribs) 14:56, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Your points about the dipole are well taken and I agree with your concerns.  However I feel the article needs to have some gain numbers; we should not just omit them.  The article could just say that the λ/4 whip has a gain of 5.19 dBi when mounted over a perfect infinite ground plane, without mentioning the comparison with the dipole. --ChetvornoTALK 21:43, 24 August 2017 (UTC)

There is no argument that Copperchair has done nothing but cause problems both with the process of Wikipedia and the Star Wars articles. Copperchair has a complete disregard for anyone's opinions. I suggest Ed not take Copperchair seriously. The best mediation would be to keep him away from Wikipedia.

thread_title:  990 = 23 carats: dubious 

message: Millisimal fineness replaced a number of older roman weight-fractions, usually fractions as weights of the pound.
Gold was based on the number of carats and grains in the solidus (or metcal).  The carat is the carob seed, rated as 144 to the Roman ounce.  1 (solidus) = 24 carats; 1 carat = 4 grains.
In England, Silver was based on ounces and pennyweights in the pound, This going back as far as Offa's penny, 240 making the tower pound.  1 (pound) = 12 ounces; 1 ounce = 20 dwt.
In Germany, silver was based on the loth, 1 (mark) = 16 loth.  Gold was based as in England.
Note because the solidus disappeared from use, one finds references to 1 (pound) = 24 carats; 1 carat = 4 grains.  These make the units some 72 or 96 times larger than they really were (6 to the oz: 12 or 16 oz to the pound).

How about concentrating on an article named "fineness" as the general term, with subsections for the different notations that have traditionally been in use. "Millesimal fineness" would be the biggest section at the moment with this article being merged there.
As the article says, national mints have been producing gold and silver coins with 4N or 5N fineness for quite some years now. But what it omits is the fact that they write 9999 or 99999 on them, and not 999.9 or 999.99. So strictly speaking the fineness is not millesimal anymore nowadays. --BjKa (talk) 10:25, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
