Talk:Allen's rule

message: It is important to remember that exposure of exterior surface area is only one of many mechanisms by which humans retain or dispose of body heat. The following mechanisms are also very important:
Sweating 
Shivering 
Skin colour 
Behaviour
:Note that for the first three of these mechanisms, Allen's rule will directly effect the outcome anyway. So I don't think this section adds anything at all!Garrie 21:17, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Among felines, lynxes have long legs and very short tails; snow leopards have very long tails and moderately short legs in relation to their length. Both are well adapted to cold climates.

This article, however, was so bad, that the version I first looked at here could have probably been successfully deleted via a BLP PROD if that was the first revision, as all sources were unreliable or dead.

Talk:Gérard Souzay

message: I have removed two points added on 11 Dec 2006, pending the identification of published evidence to support them.  (a) "Souzay's first recording with Baldwin (b. 1931) accompanying, however, had been made when the noted American pianist was 19 and evidently singer and pianist had know each other previous to that." This appears to conflict with other published evidence, and needs further elucidation.  (b) Category "Gay musicians"; evidence needed. Lampernist 21:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: When Decca re-isssued some of Souzay's early-LP Fauré and Duparc recordings on CD in the 80s, mostly accompanied by Jacqueline Bonneau, I was surprised to see that one of them—just one—was accompanied by the 19-year-old Baldwin. I too had thought that they had met later. I will get the exact data. As for their personal association, it has been mentioned in magazine articles in International Classical Record , Fanfare, etc. It is hardly the kind of thing that can be "documented" to satisfy the likes of you, but it is certainly known to admirers of the great baritone. Neither Souzay nor Baldwin were ever married—not that that is the kind of "evidence" that would change anything.
Among all music artists of the twentieth century Gérard Souzay has received the long lasting applause by two hours (May 1963; see Diskussion to article ″Gérard Souzay″ in german Wikipedia). In order to show the rank of this outstanding singer appropriate, would have to be formulated: Jasha Heifetz  was the Gérard Souzay among all violinists.Analyx (talk) 10:48, 17 May 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Redland, Florida

message: To explain the issues I've identified in the article:
* The article relies heavily upon the About the Redland page, which strongly appears to be a self-published website. Are there any other sources that could be used, e.g. newspapers? What about the writings of Audubon and Fairchild that show their amazement, for example?
* How was the population figure of 10,138 derived from the 2010 US Census, when the Census Bureau hasn't listed Redland as a CDP and defined any borders? What was the specific source used? Is the process of obtaining this figure a form of original research? Wikipedia articles themselves can not be used as a source - this is what the reference is currently suggesting.
* Many of the cited links are broken. I cannot get anything out of the American FactFinder, for example - it sends me to Collier County, Florida whenever I put "Redland, Florida" into its search engine. The Historical Markers website is also broken.
* Parts of the article sound like a travel guide, especially from the tone used.
* The "climate" section sounds more like an "agriculture" section; there needs to be verifiable sources of what grows there, too.

Talk:Tenacious D/Archive 1

message: The Wonderboy video did come out first now whether is was the first commercially available single, no it apparently wasn't. I remember seeing the video was at around the time the Fellowship of the Ring was released to theaters back near the end of 2001. The video was released about a month after the album's release and was the first video/song to promote it. If you argue with that, then they didn't release anything until over six months after the album was released. Where did the people who've edited this wiki entry and the other related ones get your information? I know my own personal of first seeing the video isn't enough. I mean it's not like I didn't buy the album off hearing and and seeing the video for Wonderboy or anything or not have a firm time frame of when I bought it. I'm tempted to go through and update things myself, but I'll wait a few days to see if the people who have been working on this and the other related pages do it. Heck with it, all you need to do to see that the music video for Wonderboy came out in 2001 is check here and look for Wonderboy:

The reference is to some written sheet music, but that doesn't mean that is the arrangement Bush used.

Encyclopedia Astronautica is giving 5,407,122 km which is right I think. Let's calculate in approximation assuming space shuttle is all time on circular orbit (start and landing have very little impact on the whole flight): earth radius 6,378.41 km + 299 km (average height of orbit) = 6,677.41 km (from center of Earth to average orbit).
Length of the circumference of orbit: 2 π R = 41,955.4044
Total distance: 129 orbits x 41,955.4044 km = 5,412,247 km - very close to distance given by Encyclopedia Astronautica, and very different from 4,701,140 in STS-42 article here. Pikador (talk) 08:50, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
