thread_title: Sister Cities

message: It would appear that the full program details - series, titles, locations, dates, ticket prices, etc. - have been copied into the article from the Festival's website.  Even if not all is totally copied, Wikipedia is not an advertising medium for any specific event or venue.  I have removed the majority of the added text by User:Spoletousa and subsituted a summary of the highlights of the Festival's program to give an idea of what it contains.

thread_title:  Removal of self-promoting chunks of program information for 2009 festival 

message: In making significant changes to the article, User talk:Spoleto removed over 4,000 bites of text, most of it being the history of the Festival.  In the past, this user appears to have been something of an insider and has posted huge chunks of copy from the Festival's website, which were reverted. (See article history). 
*History: Now, I'd agree that it is far too detailed as it stands, and it could well be trimmed but it is a significant aspect of how the Festival evolved. And it also needs information on its 21C history.  But "bad news" cannot simply be removed......
*List of posters:  What is the purpose of this long list?  Is a reader going to come here to see if a particular artist created a poster for the festival?  Hardly.  It is largely irrelevant.  A mention, with an illustration would be nice......
*Wiki-linking is almost entirely absent in the changed version. Viva-Verdi (talk) 23:07, 28 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I totally agree that the earlier material needed to be returned. I can't even imagine the motive from removing it. The in-fighting was the single most important development in the history of the festival other than its founding. It marked a huge change in the leadership and direction of the festival. I'm open to hearing the other side of things from the person who removed it all, but I can't guess at what that motivation might have been.ProfReader (talk) 01:47, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Well, you now reverted only my second edit . I guess your point is that Re-education in Communist Romania, for example, is not exclusively about the "labor camps" (there was a whole system, prisons, etc.), and it therefore does not belong to the list of meanings for Re-education camp. OK, that is logical. My very best wishes (talk) 17:56, 5 August 2020 (UTC)

text: On a second thought, I realized that Russian word "перевоспитание" [by labor] is obviously translated as "re-education". That was an official idea behind creating the Soviet labor colonies and Gulag much earlier. The Laogai system was modeled after the Gulag . So, perhaps more "see also" or disamigs would be needed.

Talk:Nuclear lightbulb

message: No thermodynamic limits sounds like wishful thinking to me.  I think that a photovoltaic is limited by the carnot cycle like any other device.  The advantage of the photovoltaic is that the hot side temperature is probably something like the equivalent blackbody temperature of the photon or something, which is quite hot for a 25000K blackbody (making the upper limit on efficiency around 24/25 = 96% say).  I think Mr Carnot is a bit harder to escape than the article implies.  (There are also technical issues like neutron poisoning and PV cooling which I suspect are more than just engineering) njh 05:19, 31 December 2005 (UTC)

replies: text:  Looks reasonable.  If any technique has high potential, it is MHD (MHD_generator), which is a non-contact way of generating electricity directly from very hot plasma.  I read a report years back about a technique whereby a super hot nuclear plasma is pulsed by injecting fuel in lumps, the pulses created magnetic pulses which were somehow coupled directly to a coil which was then suitably clarified for mains electricity.  njh 09:02, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: thermodynamic limits

message: How con the reactor function at 25000ºC? The boiling point of silica is 2230ºC, so the container should melt, boil, and eventually turn into a plasma at that temperature, unless some form of magnetic confinement is used. It material would then cool down and the engine will cease to function. Polonium 21:40, 9 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Apparently the idea is to cool the outside of the silica bulb so it never gets too hot using hydrogen gas (which being your propellant is quite abundant). You'd probably get corrosion of the inside over time and of course loss in efficiency but it seems possible. OF course theoretically possible and practically possible are two very different things. http://www.nuclearspace.com/a_liberty_ship10.htm 128.12.194.96 22:17, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Amateur Transplants

message: On their DVD they present some additional information: It was recorded before a sell-out audience at London’s Players' Theatre on 5th July 2007. It was produced by The Friday Project. The DVD runs approximately 82 minutes and features songs from Fitness to Practice and new songs. They reunited on stage for the first time in two years.
Suman Biswas is a 29 year old anaesthetist. He met Adam at medical school in the late 90s and Amateur Transplants was born.
Adam Kay is 26 year old and has written for BBC Radio 4 and performed at the Edinburgh Fringe.
In a blog: http://london.fridaycities.com/radar/2007/8/23/fridaycities-meets-suman-biswas Suman Biswas tells that he is an anaesthetist:
It’s like being a pilot. A proportion of the work is done by the equipment, but you need to be there and to know exactly what to do when something goes wrong. Otherwise people die.
But usually, people come out the other end and don’t have the first idea what you’ve been doing behind the scenes to keep them away from death’s door, they just thank the surgeon for the unsightly scar and the two weeks off work.
(Remember kids, the Anaesthetist is your friend – he’s the one with the painkillers and is trying to keep you alive while the surgeon tries his best to kill you.)
On the DVD he introduced the song Anaesthetists Hymn:

Talk:Fission sail

message: Why can't the sail be steered by rotating it (using momentum wheel or attitude jets or whatever)? njh 05:34, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Steering

message: Why do forward fragments contribute to thrust?  Unless I've misunderstood the structure (in which case this is a request for clarification ;) the radioactive layer and the absorbtion layer are bonded together, so any forwards moving fragment will simply work to heat the sail as a whole.  The fragment will generate a tiny pulse of thrust backwards as it is emitted, but exactly the same pulse forward as it is absorbed.  The material will then emit a photon in a random direction contributing nothing on average.  njh 05:38, 31 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  forwards fragments adding to thrust? 

message: The physics in this article make no sense. Forward was a respectable physicist however, so I don't think these are flaws with the concept, merely the article. Without some sources from Howard or other physicists I don't think we can make this article what it should be. A web search finds no mention of this technology outside of Wikipedia.
To go over the mistakes:
NathanHurst is right, steering would work fine.
To answer NathanHurst's other question: You can think of *either* the backwards moving fragment providing thrust (like the propellent in a rocket) and the forward fragment remaining attached to the sail, or the forward moving fragment as colliding with the sail and accelerating it, and the backwards moving fragment flying away.
Size would be irrelevant to insuring it works with fragments that do not fly directly forward or back. They are reacting on a surface, so one of the fragments will always collide with it, the other flying away.
There are no calculations as to feasibility. I find it likely that the added mass of the nuclear material and the absorber would reduce the acceleration due to the solar wind on the sail more than the later nuclear reactions will make up later.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.9.12.138 (talk) 22:55, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
