Talk:Proton

message: As the article notes, Rutherford was first to discover nuclear reactions.  Was he also the first to use the reaction notation similar to that used in chemistry?  That is (reactants) arrow (products)?  Gah4 (talk) 18:18, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  reactions 

message: Recent edits related to the fundamentalness of protons.  As well as I know, they should be considered fundamental. Fundamental doesn't mean that they don't have internal structure or size, though.  Since we don't have lone quarks, and quark-antiquark mesons aren't stable, it seems to be that protons are the most fundamental state of quark-based matter.  Gah4 (talk) 05:45, 17 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  fundamentalness 

message: There is discussion about lone protons. I suspect that the reason this is a question at all is that chemists like to write H+ when they actually mean H3O+.  If there are electrons around, and the temperature is not too high, it will grab one.  High means plasma or, as noted, accelerators. Gah4 (talk) 14:26, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  hydronium 

message: In , it says "As noted, most of a proton's mass comes from the gluons that bind the current quarks together, rather than from the quarks themselves."  As I understand it, the confinement of the quarks forces them to relativistic velocities, with the resultant kinetic energy contributing significantly to the hadron's mass.  Should the quoted sentence not be amended accordingly?  —Quondum 02:36, 4 June 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Quarks and the mass of a proton 

message: The article currently states that Rutherford proposed the reaction "" ("History" section, 5th paragraph). But this equation has different mass numbers on each side: 18 on the left and 19 on the right. Is this a typo? Or maybe an incorrect transcription of Rutherford's proposal into modern notation? Should it be ? Indefatigable (talk) 17:05, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Possibly a typo when entered. But I've removed it as failing verification. The source doesn't mention a proposed reaction, only that Rutherford thought charged hydrogen atoms were torn off from the bombarded nucleus, implying that atomic nuclei of lighter elements were made up of combinations of hydrogen and helium.

Talk:Spanish missions in California

message: The writer Gregory Orfalea is used as a source for what I consider to be questionable claims about the causes of indigene population decline. Readers should note that Orfalea is not a professional historian. WCCasey (talk) 04:29, 12 December 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: While he's not a professional historian, he's written a book about Juniper Serra that has been credibly received.  Not every source is going to provide pleasing info. Considering the other sources provided, Orfalea's info is balanced and is not given undue weight. His statements about Serra's treatment of indigenous natives stand up when compared to the many purposeful acts of spreading smallpox and mass murder committed against Indians in the mid-West and elsewhere. Orfalea confirms in the article that neophytes under Serra's authority were tracked down and beaten for leaving the mission, a common punishment in that time. He also acknowledges rape and instances of murder. You could add those to the article to give it more balance. — btphelps (talk to me) (what I've done) 10:46, 12 December 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with most of what you said, but regarding deliberate a
smallpox spreading and mass murder commmited against the mid-West, I do think it is important to keep in mind that those acts were carried out by the Anglo-Americans, and that the MO of the Spanish in the New World was never to be physical genocide. Cultural, yes, but the Spanish absorbed the Indians into their own society and made no distinction once they'd been converted to Catholic "New Spaniards." Regarding tracking down and beating neophytes for leaving the mission: it is well known that this was a commom practice, and having it in the article is justified. Regarding rapes and murders, though: I would say that without reliable primary sources claims of that nature are dubious... Firejuggler86 (talk) 01:25, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Foreign relations of Malawi

message: I removed this:
Per the two surviving sources: a minister, probably somewhat preoccupied because in the process of being sacked, gets badgered by some con men who convince him to sign a piece of paper that announces some unspecified "memorandum" of "understanding". He is either being hoodwinked or he signs the thing to get the annoying cranks out of his office, who knows. In either case nothing further happens – no laws are enacted, no ordinances passed, no contracts are written, no diplomats despatched; no trade is made, no goods move, no money changes hands. Several months after taking office, the minister’s successor has never even heard of the “memorandum” until some journalists point it out to him. In other words, it doesn’t affect the foreign relations of Malawi one way or the other, either legally or factually. It’s a faintly embarrassing (for the minister) bit of trivia that doesn’t need to clutter up this article. GR Kraml (talk) 20:11, 26 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Seaport

message: Should ports on the Great Lakes that are regularly visited by ships that cross oceans be listed here?  -- Mike Hardy
I believe so, yes.  Stockton, California and Sacramento, California are on it and they're on rivers that flow into the Pacific.  There should probably be a separate section for the Great Lakes, and those items which are in the Baltic should be moved out of the Atlantic and into their own section.  -- Zoe
What about the ports along the Mississippi River? They do not all have ocean going ship facilities and handle barge traffic for just the river. Maybe the idea of merging is not a good one then. José is Fluid 04:43, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: When seaport is merged with the more general port there's no problem. From the port article: "A port is a facility for receiving ships and transferring cargo to and from them. They are usually situated at the edge of an ocean, sea, river, or lake." This means that various wikipedia articles (ocean port, oceanport, sea port, seaport, river port, riverport, lake port, lakeport) will have to be redirected/disambiguated to port, provided that specific information on the type of port is provided in the port article.

Is it an absolute truth that TUBS is easier to see than conventional notation, I wonder, or just what you are used to? Conventional notation, sure, is a code, but once you know it, it works quite well. I can hear the rhythm in the conventional one much more easily than looking at the TUBS.

Talk:Administrative divisions of China

message: First, there is no "Provincial Level" in laws and Ordinance. It is simply a term invented by some and this term has no legal ground. Second, the Chinese Constitution and Hong Kong Basic Law as well as Macau Basic Law state that Special Administrative Region is created due to special occasion and directly under the Central government thus should not be treated as anything level of administrative unit similar to a province. All administrative units that share similarity has been listed on Article 30 while SAR is particularly listed on Article 31. The nature is entirely different. Third, it is not respectful to Hongkonger and Macanese as they should not be treated as what they are not. They are not a province, and not a provincial level unit either. None of any other provincial level administrative unit share similar autonomy and status as if the SARs. One will find themselves ignoring the fact if they treat Puerto Rico or Guam as a "state-level unit", or to treat Gibraltar as a "kingdom level unit". For simply "directly under the central government" only leads to neutral term like "first-level unit" but never make it equivalent to a province. Xxjkingdom (talk) 01:46, 8 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It is a provincial-level as shown by reliable sources in Talk:Special administrative region. Wikipedia is based on reliable secondary sources. As mentioned there, "provincial-level" does not simply mean provinces, but at the same level as provinces, similar to other terms such as "Prefectural level" and "County level". Actually your logic is very flawed: if SARs like Hong Kong are first-level divisions just like other provinces as shown in Template:Province-level divisions of China, then it means SARs are in the same level as these provinces, so SARs are provincial-level too. This contradicts with your claim that SARs are not provincial-level. You are the one to make bold edits, and got reverted. Please follow the WP:BRD cycle to properly discuss instead of edit warring.
