message: I'm removing the reference to Frank Brown 
"The camera was named after Frank Brownell, its inventor who was a subcontractor of Eastman Kodak, and then ascribed to Palmer Cox's popular cartoon characters."
According to Kodiac's website they are name after Palmer Cox, there's not mention of this Frank Brownell, could someone point me in the direction of a source for it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.246.211.130 (talk) 01:06, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I feel this article needs one or more example pictures taken by a Brownie. I have some I could upload, but I don't know the exact model or specs of the Brownie used, so it would be preferable if someone added images where the provenance of the camera was known.----Pontificalibus 07:37, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Example pictures

message: The infobox for this article lists the specifications of the first Brownie model from 1900, but the image is of a model F, and it states the date it was discontinued as when the last camera with the “brownie” name was produced. This seems like it could be confusing to someone unfamiliar with these cameras. For instance, the original brownie used 117 film while other models used 120, 116, or 127. I suggest it would be better to make the infobox about brownie models in general or just the first model. Implacable18 (talk) 03:50, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Osborne Computer Corporation

message: Just added a citation needed tag to this:
Cooper, who held a trusted business relationship with Adam Osborne was privy to an early viewing of the yet to be released new Osborne II (Executive) model, sighting warehouses full of the first model, Cooper cautioned Osborne that the Osborne II should only be announced once clearance of the original Osborne 1 stock holdings had been depleted[citation needed], ultimately dismissing such advice contributed to Osborne Corporations demise and Chapter 11 filing in September 1983...
If this is true, then Cooper was there in time to prevent the Osbourne effect but was ignored. This is a pretty huge piece of the story if true, but if this is just hearsay then it absolutely needs to go. I couldn't immediately find a reliable citation for this but I don't have time to dig deeper.  MrAureliusRTalk! 17:53, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Advanced Mobile Phone System

message: The article makes no mention of use in the UK yet the phone in the headline (and only) photo says "British TELECOM" on it. 00:08, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Was this used in the UK? 

message: Currently the articles on Mobile phones are claiming that Japan had the first cellular telephone network in 1979. However according to AT&T's own archive video, AT&T built the AMPS system in 1977, went online in 1978 and had 1300 customers by 1979. I'd say this beats Japan by at least 1 year, if not 2. The video along with historical information can be found here and a mirror of it is on youtube. One of the articles previously referenced talks about a historic phone call made from Chicago to Germany in 1983, but this was far from being the first publically made call. AT&T's archive video interviews several people who were apparently not AT&T employees who were already using the AMPS system in 1978 and 1979. The FCC apparently didn't approve the network until 1982, which seems kinda strange, but I think that's irrelavent. People were using it to make public calls. I'll update the articles to reflect this. ----Deltaray (talk) 18:12, 19 January 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Squaring the circle

message: I came across this figure and think it could be used in an article like this one or perhaps some of those listed under quadrature. We don't seem to have any with a focus or even section on spheres though, so just putting it here for the moment. -- Daniel Mietchen (talk)  20:22, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quadrature of a sphere 

message: Bell: Men of Mathematics remarks that with straightedge and compass it's impossible to square the circle, but if other apparatus is allowed then it's easy to square the circle. Is he right? If so, could such a construction be included in this article? What sort of apparatus is required?
By the way, Olds' approximate construction in his book Continued Fractions is the same as Jakob de Gelder's. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.159.248.94 (talk • contribs) 
:Yes, it's possible to square the circle using other tools. The last paragraph of the "Impossibility" section says a little about this. See also MacTutor's page on the topic. XOR'easter (talk) 23:13, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  Using other apparatus 

message: While I think this article successfully explains why it is not possible to square the circle, it completely ignores the question of why anyone would want to. The "squaring" of various objects was far more important to ancient mathematicians than modern readers would normally be aware of. It seems this article would be greatly improved with one or two paragraphs explaining the concept of squaring, and perhaps a simple example using the triangle. Maury Markowitz (talk) 10:35, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I added a couple of lines on this to the second paragraph of the history section. But although the source for the quote I added, Proclus, was in the tradition of Greek mathematics, he was far later than the origins of the problem and the theory he gives is speculative. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:31, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Pāramitā

message: not sure this is true: "Paramita is a Sanskrit word which means salvation in Buddhism. More specifically, it means the crossing from sensuous life to nirvana. "
another explanation seems to be:
"Paramita is a Sanskrit term meaning virtue perfected to the level of transcendence" (http://www.buddhanet.net/heartl02.htm)
I guess there are two meanings.
:Both definitions sort of point to the same thing, although I would say Paramita refers less to salvation and more to the perfection of a virtue or practice. I guess it also depends on what you mean with salvation. Do you mean Nirvana, or a bodhisattva or something else? Literally, the word paramita means "to have crossed to the other shore". Think in terms of crossing a river. This analogy is also sometimes used to described attainment of Nirvana. Maybe this is where the first definition has come from?
::According to Har Dayal ("The Bodhisattva Doctrine in Buddhist Sanskrit Literature" 1999, pp.165-6) this is based on a serious misunderstaning of the etymology by a number of translators. His reasoning is too complicated to repeat here, but he states "the definition of the term is thus placed beyond the possibility of doubt. It simply means highest condition, highest point, best state, perfection." Shantavira 10:02, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

message: The Lankavatara Sutra translated by D.T. Sukuki has this entry:
On Momentariness: LXXXVII~ Three Kinds of the Paramitas 
The heading is possibly a typo given that the first paragraph begins:
:Further, Mahāmati said: It is again said by the Blessed One that by fulfilling the six Pāramitās Buddhahood is realised. What are the six Pāramitās? And how are they fulfilled?
But the organization of Parametas in the Buddha's explanation is slightly different from those offered in the article, and may be of interest.

Talk:Power to the people (slogan)

message: :"Power to the People" is a traditionally socialist political slogan that has been used in a wide variety of contexts.
Please explain in the article how the slogan is:
* socialist
* traditional
* traditionally socialist
And then put the words traditionally socialist back into the first sentence. --Uncle Ed
:"Traditional" modifies "socialist", not "slogan". It's not a "traditional slogan". The only real question is whether the slogan was originally a socialist slogan. So far as I can tell, it was. But more direct evidence would be good. --The Cunctator
 
Power to the people is populism at its best.

Talk:List of fictional mice and rats

message: Is there really any need to state "The Clangers resemble mice, but are apparently much bigger."? It's seems to me to be more sensible to just include them in the list with the other mice. I'm sure many of the characters on the list are bigger on screen then their real life counterparts would be. Saul Taylor
:The thing is that they don't belong "with the other mice", because they're not mice; they're alien beings from a distant planet that happen to look a bit like mice. That's the really significant point; the size matters only in as much as they appear mouse-sized on the TV screen, which increases the resemblance. —Paul A 02:47, 15 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Talk:Odyssey (Yngwie Malmsteen album)

message: The article says March of 1988, but Amazon says January, 1988. And then in Yngwie Malmsteen's article, it says "In the summer of 1988 he released his fourth album, Odyssey." Summer is not March nor January. And then, another date is presented on RateYourMusic.com, with the most specific date, April 8, 1988. Any ideas on what the date actually is?
There's a reference to Bob Daisley playing bass on "track **", but no track has that mark, this should be corrected  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.104.12.177 (talk) 05:59, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know who wrote the lyrics and who wrote the music for this album? I couldn't find anywhere where it would get that specific with the credits, they all just credited it to "Malmsteen/Turner", so I just assumed that meant that both the music and the lyrics were written by the two of them, but I don't feel sure enough.

Red: “To creep softly like a coward toward the treasures of your body,
to whip your joyous flesh and bruise your pardoned breast,
to make in your astonished flank a wide and gaping wound.”
Red: As a general rule, I believe the sword is mightier than the pen. But in the hands of a free-spirited, syphilis-ridden French dandy, I’d say the odds shift considerably.
Liz: How’s my grandfather?
Red: We saw him this morning. He’s still critical.
Liz: And the woman who tried to kill him?
Red: You know Baudelaire was prosecuted for offenses against public morality?
Liz: The woman.
Red: His words were so provocative that six of his poems were banned for nearly a century.
Liz: You said you had a lead.
Red: I do. A secret society named after Baudelaire’s “Les Fleurs du Mal.”
Liz: Poetry lovers?
Red: Thrill seekers. People who go to extreme lengths to offend public morality. A society of decadent misanthropes. People who have everything, so nothing is special.
Liz: And this connects to the woman who abducted you in Paris?
Red: It does.

message: I've trimmed the Legacy section down a little but I was pretty conservative about it and it is still massively overblown. If we are to have this section at all, it needs well referenced content detailing the overall legacy of the work in terms of its influence on subsequent culture not just an indiscriminate, unreferenced and unedifying list of every obscure/pretentious band that has ever named a non-notable song after it in order to assert their own literacy and coolness.
