message: A question from a franch guy: is "scoop" the term used for "grab and put on the stretcher" ? Is there any existing article about this, or should one create something like Scoop (first aid)? (This to be linked to :fr:premiers secours : relevage)
Cdang 07:55, 19 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: As for "scoop" (from Talk:Stretcher), it's a bit out of my field, but certainly there are "scoop stretchers" (the kind that you can slip under the patient without moving him - you can see examples and maybe get translation ideas at this   catalog), but I think it is sort of slang for the process of "grab and put on the stretcher": for relevage I would simply say lifting. ("Lifting" for going from the ground to the stretcher, "moving" for moving the stretcher to the ambulance, "transporting" for  getting to the hospital).  But docs currently working in Emergency Rooms may be able to be of more help on this: you could ask at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Clinical medicine. -- Nunh-huh 20:18, 24 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scoop ? 

message: Two quick points. 1) I've made a major revision to the Stretcher article. The original was rated a Start grade article. Since this was flagged as a high importance article by WP:EMS, I made some large rewrites in an attempt to improve the quality of this article. As such, I've incorporated several sections from other relevant Wikipedia articles. I feel that I've already included a large part of the information contained in the Gurney article. Also 2) I think that Gurney is another common synonym for stretcher. Having two articles defining the same concept (indeed, sharing the same photo to illustrate this) is redundant and should be fixed with a Merge followed by a redirect. Thoughts?

replies: text: Salary structures vary a lot between industries and different levels on the pay scale. A decent macroeconomic measure that is somewhat similar to what you are looking for is price adjusted per capita GNI (gross national income). The World Bank has some such stats. Or take Per Capita GNI and divide by purchasing power parity PPP. Rough versions of these stats can usually be found online, through national statistical agencies or from the World Bank, OECD, UN or others.

I had cleaned up the mention of the town's noteworthiness to the COVID-19 pandemic in the history section. In addition to the New York metropolitan area, Detroit and New Orleans, Albany was one of the first big COVID-19 outbreaks in the United States, ironic considering its relatively small size and isolation in the Deep South.

Talk:List of numbers/Deletion/Archive 1

message: *Most of the numbers listed on List of numbers (not the list itself). Before you scream bloody murder, take a look at the actual information content. Most of these are trivia,  such as "one hundred one appears in the movie 101 Dalmatians", and the little information that is there is already duplicated elsewhere (atomic numbers) or should be (factorisation table). These "articles" tend to become completely unencyclopedic free-for-alls where everyone can add every occurance of a number that is somehow verifiable and true. The ones we should keep are those that contain actual history or other useful information, such as zero. But "this is a prime number" (make a list of prime numbers instead) or "this number appears in movie XYZ" is not useful information.—Eloquence
**Keep, but edit to remove the trivia (possibly after a full discssion of what does and does not constitute "trivia"). Besides which, any proposal to remove "most" of a set of pages cannot be decisive, since no definition of "most" is included. Andy Mabbett 20:57, 27 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Large-sized note

message: In case someone extends the table of portraits and nicknames for large-sized notes, using "M-note" for the $1000 (which had Alexander Hamilton at that time,) to parallel "C-note" for the $100, please note the following:
The abbreviation Xmas for Christmas was originally a shortening where X represents the Greek letter chi. Nowadays, however, the letter X is better interpreted as a mathematical variable than a Greek letter, and thus people often think that it drops Christ from Christmas.
Something similar is true of "M-note". For hundreds of years, "M" was a symbol for 1000 for hundreds of years, from "mill", a Latin word for a thousand, paralleling C ("cent") for a hundred. However, the letter "M" is nowadays more frequently interpreted as a symbol for a million, standing for "mega", paralleling K ("kilo") for a thousand. Thus, it is important to take note that the computer did not exist during the time of the large-sized notes. 
Also, if someone asks for a $1 bill or a $2 bill, please simply say, "The $1 and $2 bills were not made by the Federal Reserve in those days." 66.32.126.130 14:57, 12 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Possible confusion between the town and the district, and just a general feeling of unreliability. Need a citation.
