Talk:Section 51 of the Constitution of Australia

message: "Powers not included in section 51 are considered "reserve powers", and remain the domain of the states (with a few exceptions, noted below)." Is that right? I had thought that 'reserve' or 'reserved' powers are those unwritten powers of the Governor-General, inlcluding the powers to sack a government. Wouldn't it be more accurate to refer to the plenary powers of the states, the concurrent jurisdiction of the Commonwealth Parliament under section 51 etc, and the consequences of section 109?

Talk:GD-ROM

message: I was always told it was difficult to pirate Dreamcast discs because the actual game data started from near the outside edge of the disc, and tracked inwards... hence a standard drive couldn't read it without trick software as the data was effectively "backwards" (and your average CD drive would of course read from the inside edge, where these additional "warning" tracks were located) .... how true is this?

message: I cannot see you have any argument to say my edit is WP:UNDUE. Mentions in art and literature are a normal addition to information on any subject and the a section to include them is hardly unusual. The entries I included are from the most widely read poet of her day and they are in what were then popular publications that are easily accessible on the internet today. She was an innovator, who wrote original poetry in her own unique style, all attributes that are highly valued in today's world. In spite of almost two centuries of misogyny (as is common with female authors) and, until recently, a complete lack of scholarship (other than Sarah Sheppard, 1841) she is today quite popular on poetry websites and is at least in the top 200 poets.
Ignorance is not a reason for quoting UNDUE and surely it is not the aim of wikipedia, any more than misogyny.

It is difficult to study because it is both unstable and not bioavailable. It is unlikely to produce useful leads for drug development" with a citation. The article also details why it's so unlikely that curcumin would have any positive physiological effect were it to actually enter the bloodstream in a significant quantity.

"[An intermittent is] A symptom for which there is no known procedure to consistently reproduce it.", http://www.troubleshooters.com/tinterm.htm#Definitions.

thread_title:  Misquote of definition of intermittent 

message: I have not been able to find specific references to the etymology of the words "troubleshooter" "trouble shooter" or "trouble-shooter".
It is my understanding that the word "troubleshooter" originated in the United States from the term "trouble shooter" used in the mid to late 19th century.  A "trouble shooter" was employed by the telegraph and rail road companies building rail lines in the western part of the United States.  It was the job of the "trouble shooter" to find those that were being "trouble" during the construction and to shoot them.  The role continued after the completion of the telegraph and rail lines and was expanded to that of a general problem solver, which is the current usage of the word 
Given the lack of any other reference or source, I would like to have this etymology added to the article.
