Talk:List of Presbyterian denominations in Australia

message: The methodists and congregationalists who joined in 1977 were not forming another presbyterian church. The basis of union does not state that the denomination is strictly presbyterian. --One Salient Oversight 15:59, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: The Uniting Church

message: Along a similar vein to One Salient Oversight, I would argue that European Reformed Churches should not be included on this list. It may be true that they share a common theology, and perhaps a similar form of church government, but for the purposes of providing encyclopaedic information, a tighter definition should be applied. I would argue that the definition of a Presbyterian Church is: a denomination that adheres to the WCF and has a form of church government that is consistent with the Second Book of Discipline. If we were to include a heading of "churches that include the WCF in their confessional documents", we might include (on this page) CRCA but not FRCA.--M1CH4EL (talk) 04:48, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Farnsworth House (Plano, Illinois)

message: I have added the cultural attitudes section  because I find the non-neutral opinion-based edits to be of great interest as additional information about how the various members of a culture view a specific encyclopedia subject. This is difficult information to find on any particular subject without lenghty research of history, blogs and other websites. I do believe the main body of text should be strictly neutral and factual, per Wikipedia policy, but a separate subsection on the main page in a one-sentence per viewpoint succint format  can add a deeper understanding of the significance of a subject. 
It may or may not help resolve the problem of edit-wars on the main text of controversial subjects, but it wont  erase the fact of controversey. 
Please let it stay for a while.

thread_title: Cultural attitudes

message: Much of this article could benefit from a major pruning or rewrite.  The tone is particularly problematic as it wanders far afield from standard encyclopedic writing.  The section Architecture as an Expression of the Times is particularly problematic as it reads much like an architecture critics review in a magazine rather than what one would expect to find in an encyclopedia.  It is also mostly entirely uncited.  Such writing has its place, but it reads like personal analysis of the original author, and as such, its place is not in Wikipedia.  Ideas?  --Jayron32 05:54, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Beowulf Shaeffer

message: Seems like there are an *awful* lot of guesses or assumptions stated here as fact.  How do we know Beowulf attended college, let alone where?  I think it's much more likely his "History of [Piloting] Errors" course was during pilot training... in fact, his question to Elephant was regarding pilot training right before he mentioned the History of Errors course (in "Flatlander").  How do we know he was the only kid in his group who went on to become a starship pilot?  How do we know Nakamura Lines was based on We Made It?  Where does it say how long Bey had been a pilot for Nakamura?
<P>I suspect you're depending on I. Marc Carlson's Known Space Chronology.  Altho it seems very well researched, it has a lot of outright guesses on it, and it's poorly documented.
<P>You might want to look at my Known Space Timeline , which is exhaustively documented.

:It was one of the former Nickel Plate Road engines, NKP 587 comes to mind, but I could be wrong . Iain Bell (talk) 12:08, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It was actually pulled by NKP 759 (now at Steamtown).  It was May 1st, 1971 the last N&W run passenger train before handing over to Amtrak, it was train #4 - "The Pocahontas".  If I remember correctly, the actual passenger train ran from Cincinnati to Norfolk hauled by N&W diesels, the NKP 759 carried a special train that followed the regular train and carried only special guests, not the regular paying passengers.  I'm not sure the steam special ran the whole route either, it may have only been from Bluefield - East.  The NKP 759 reportedly carried the N&W 611's whistle for the trip.  --Pbryan7 (talk) 01:20, 25 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I just had to delete a bunch of articles that were linked in the "External Links" section because they were really supposed to be added to a References list (which didn't exist and I had to add). Since each article wasn't referenced correctly I had to deleted each linked article (sad because they are interesting articles) because they weren't referenced correctly and therefore we, the readers/editors, could not know which information each article was supporting.

Talk:Multisided record

message: I can see that the two (or more) grooves on the same side could either be intermeshed with each other or occupy separate annuli on the disc surface.  Further, intermeshed grooves could start/finish anywhere relative to each other.  And if they aren't intermeshed, the second groove could start just beyond the end of the first and continue inwards, or it could start at the inside and play outwards so that the ends of the two grooves almost meet.
Which of these techniques has actually been used? -- Smjg 13:46, 17 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Necessarily the same length?  Why wouldn't it work to have the first groove starting near the edge, and the second groove starting halfway in, both ending at the same place? -- Smjg (talk) 22:40, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text:  If the grooves are interleaved, they necessarily got the same length – in a similar way as the B-side of a Compact Cassette necessarily has the same running time as the A-side. -- Pemu (talk) 17:20, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  Repeating the statement doesn't in any way constitute answering the question.  Nor does any comparison to cassettes.  A roll of tape is a physical object with a definite length - obviously the two sides of the tape can't be different lengths.  But you can draw a line along the full length of one side of a piece of tape, and draw a line along only some of the other side.  Or likewise, two parallel lines along the same side of the tape, one full length and one partial length.  In the same way, it's physically possible to cut a groove in a record that spirals in from the outside edge like an ordinary vinyl record, and then cut another groove, starting halfway in, interleaved with it. — Smjg (talk) 13:06, 6 October 2012 (UTC)
