Talk:Parisi (tribe)

message: Hmm, here we go again with the old "waves of invaders" idea together with the notions of the primitive cavemen Britons unable to do anything but 'ape' their more sophisticated neighbours on the Continent. Paul S (talk) 14:37, 17 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  NPOV 

message: It is not for editors here to editorialise on what is and is not correct. The information on 19th century ideas is not "fringe" it was proposed by persons such as Thomas William Shore (has an article and ODNB biography), and the other sources are generally reliable eg George Poulson, the person who questioned the Frisian connection was Thomas Wright (antiquarian) - he did not reject the theory at all - simply advised caution.
To reference historical context of development of understanding of a topic is essential for an encyclopedia, and removing such information is contrary to wikipedia founding principles. There is no evidence for the correctness or uncorrectness of either the old or modern etymological theories. All are/were published in reliable sources, and by recognised scholars. The accusation of these being "fringe theories" has not be given any basis.
All the content easily meets Wikipedia:Verifiability, and no attempt has been made to present one theory as being superior or correct, - in fact the opposite is true - so Wikipedia:Neutral point of view has been applied.

message: According to the Ys article...the origins of the name of the city of Paris is from "Par Ys" meaning similar to Ys?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.47.177.150 (talk) 22:38, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem with the "Paris" mention in the "Ys" article is that it isn't properly sourced.  It's followed by two citations: The first leads to an anonymous, stand-alone webpage, full of typos, with no indication that it’s been edited, or published anywhere, and it doesn’t really qualify as a Reliable Source.  It doesn’t definitely claim that the "origins of the name of the city of Paris are from Par Ys meaning similar to Ys."  It only claims vaguely "it is said" that "Lutece was called Paris because…" etc.   (The second citation leads to a touristy French language source that refers to sardines, but doesn’t say anything  about Paris.) - GümsGrammatiçus (talk) 20:43, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

text: And on top of all that, the Ys article (in the "Etymology" section) contradicts the Paris-etymology idea, and says that "Ys" derives from Celtic words for "low"―in the phrase "low city". - GümsGrammatiçus (talk) 10:15, 29 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:HMS E41

message: The article first states that fifteen crewmembers escaped from E41 following the collision on 15 August 1916, including seven from the bottom, but then states that Chief Petty Officer William Brown escaped from the submarine 90 minutes after the submarine sank, the first person to escape from a submerged submarine. The two stories are inconsistant - if Brown was the only person to escape from a submerged submarine then what about the other six? If seven escaped and Brown was one of them, why is his tale notable? The whole section is completely unsourced.Nigel Ish (talk) 13:58, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: This post, though not a reliable source, would seem to clear up the discrepancy. Seven men were trapped as she sank, but six were able to get out soon afterwards. Brown was alone in a separate part of the submarine and spent an hour and half in a fairly epic struggle, before he too made it to the surface. How this squares with the 'first person to escape from a submerged submarine' claim is unclear, but since the strong implication is that the submarine was submerged when the first six escaped, and the claim is unsourced, I have removed it, along with most of the detail on Brown's escape and his subsequent life.

message: The article state that the BTA-6 is of Ritchey-Chrétien type. However, the official website (http://www.sao.ru/Doc-en/Telescopes/bta/descrip.html) states that the primary mirror is of parabolic shapes. If correct, this would make the BTA-6 a Cassegrain telescope. A Ritchey-Chrétien system has hyperbolic primary and secondary mirrors while the older and inferior Cassegrain telescope uses a parabolic primary mirror combined with a hyperbolic secondary. --2001:16B8:118E:E200:232C:8D80:D9DE:CC65 (talk) 02:00, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:High-altitude flatus expulsion

message: I think the application of Boyle's law here has been mistated. From the article:
::Consistent with Boyle's law, controlling for dietary variance, the amount of gas produced is constant in mass, but the volume increases when the difference in pressure diminishes.
I believe it should either state "...the volume increases when the external pressure diminishes" or "...the volume increases when difference in pressure increases".
Could someone verify I'm not misunderstanding something here and should we make a change? Racerx11 (talk) 19:15, 13 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: No response in one month so I am going to be bold and make the change. Racerx11 (talk) 03:52, 14 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I now believe the original wording was assuming there is an initial high difference in pressure which causes the problem to begin with. It is then the reaction of the body to equalize the two by expanding the volume, thereby lowering the internal pressure to match the external pressure. Thus the difference is diminished while the volume increases. However, only to a certain point can this continue. The body can only expand so much and eventually stops expanding, causing the internal pressure to rise, therefore increasing the difference between the internal and external pressures until the gas is finally expelled. This took me a while to deduce from the original statement. I hope my edit is less ambiguous. Racerx11 (talk) 04:18, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boyle's law 

message: This article has several problems. Reference 1 does not point to "a landmark study of this phenomenon" but to a very brief, three paragraph note. Further, the offered explanation (both in this Wikipedia article and [1], can't be correct. The increased internal gas volume due to a lowered external pressure surely isn't more than about 10 percent (depending of course the low and high altitude difference). Even if it were 20 percent, the extra volume would surely be expelled in a matter of hours at most. However, people who suffer from this experience greatly increased volume for several days. In other words, the "Boyle's Law" explanation is bogus. And an actual worthwhile reference is needed in place of [1].  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.208.2.76 (talk) 07:13, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Lockheed J37

message: There is a discrepancy with the value given for thrust of 5,100 lbf (2,315 N). 5,100lbf actually equals 22700N, while 2315N equals 520lbf. 5,100lb equals 2313kg - perhaps this is where the error lies? Given the thrust range of comparable engines from the period, I'd suspect 5,100lbf is the correct thrust, and I have amended the article accordingly.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Human spaceflight/Wikipedia 1.0/Importance

message: This is an excellent start towards a rational system for "importance" ratings! (I wish there were anything this good for WikiProject Spaceflight!) As a first specific comment, I think some articles about single missions should be of "Top" importance. I'm thinking particularly of Vostok 1 and Apollo 11, but I bet there are a handful more. Looking at it differently, maybe we should target some number of individual missions, say maybe five or ten, that deserve a "Top" importance ranking.... Again, getting this started is great ground-work for the overall effort! Thanks! (sdsds - talk) 21:04, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Great start 

message: Another way to look at this is to ask, "If we had to make an abridged version of our encyclopedia that would fit on a single CD (or two CDs, or a single DVD or whatever), which articles would we absolutely need to keep?" Taking Apollo as an example, even for the smallest encyclopedia we would want both Apollo program and Apollo 11. It's not clear we would need Apollo Lunar Module or Apollo spacecraft, though. In fact, I would suggest the more broadly scoped "Apollo spacecraft" article should have the "High" importance rating, and "Apollo Lunar Module" the "Mid" rating. (Currently the spaceflight-importance ratings of these two are the reverse of that.) Does working with specific examples of rationales like this help? We could (probably should) include some specific rationale examples in the  project page. (sdsds - talk) 00:26, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
