thread_title: Requests

message: I took the following section out since this is all part of a legend "Tiit Kiu Sam which literally means "Three Iron Bridges" was the foremost of the Ten Tigers of Canton. His real name was Leong Khuen. He was famed for his mighty arms hence his nickname. He trained using iron sets to strengthen his internal energy hence making his body hard as iron. Wong Yan-Lam was a master of Hap Kar Kung Fu (a kung fu style which originated from the mountains of Tibet but modified by Shaolin monks). His master was called Sheng Loong. Wong Kei-Ying was a disciple of the infamous grandmaster Luk Ah Choy. He was also the father of Wong Fei Hong. Wong Kei-Ying was well renowned for his Mou Ying Keok "Shadowless Kick" which was also later mastered by his son, Wong Fei Hong. Su Hak Fu or "Black Tiger" was a master of the Tiger Claw kung fu. So Haak Yee or "Beggar So" was originally a wealthy person but squandered his wealth away. He was a master at Hung Gar kung fu. His master was called Chan Fook who hailed from the Southern Shaolin Temple in Fujian. Chow Tai shot to fame when he defeated an international boxing champion from France. Tam Chai Hok was well known for his "Three Kicking Technique" namely tiger tail kick, sweeping floor kick and organ seeking kick, three difficult moves which imitates a tiger kicking. Wong Ching Ho was known for his powerful head. He practiced a kung fu also known as "Iron Head" kung fu or "Tiit Tau Kung Fu". He was a disciple of a Shaolin monk from Guangdong. Tiit Chi Chan or "Iron Finger" was a master at the Iron Finger Art. He could do a one finger stand with his index finger and could also use it as a weapon to poke through one's heart."
It does not help the article to mix real legends with movie materials. Benjwong (talk) 15:59, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I think I did a thorough job through Wiki and I only found 8.--P-Chan 08:12, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

message: What about V for Vendetta? Its about Anarchism.
:Sadly, while the book features anarchism as a primary theme, the movie completely omits this philosophical angle, and instead substitutes the "anarchy vs facism" themes for a liberal-left critique of the Neo-conservatives of the US.  Alan Moore also publically criticized this himself after he read the script, several months before the release of the film.  As such, the movie cannot be considered anarchist in nature.--Cast 00:43, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Toggle switch

message: The reference to La Blue Girl is highly dubious at best. Neither the word 'toggle' or 'switch' even appear in the La Blue Girl article.

message: The early minicomputers were able to be booted from a bank of toggle switches. The wildest boot device I have heard of was a shaped wood section, from an ordinary piece of wood, say a two-by-four,  with the toggle switch settings notched into the corners. The programmer could then rotate this boot device to the correct setting and toggle in the next word of the boot program into memory. We need a picture of such a row of toggle switches, say from a DEC PDP or a Data General Nova, for the encyclopedia. --Ancheta Wis 00:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merge with [[Range (music)]]? 

message: Being a brass player myself (trombone) I was a bit surprised to read this. Surely the lowest note a brass instrument can produce is that represented by a single standing wave in the maximum length of pipe possible? E.g. the lowest harmonic a trombone can produce starts with a pedal (concert) Bb (just below two octaves below concert middle C) and then this can (theoretically, I can't go below the F below this) be lowered to the E below this by extending the slide; even lower notes ca nbe achieved by adding one or two length of tubing from the "plug"; but there is a lower limit when all the tubing is being used and still one wavelength is standing in the length of the tube.
Well, I play euphonium myself (4 valves), and I would say there is a lower limit. I can play about an octive below low F down to really low petal F, and the farther you go down the thinner the sound becomes, until nothing comes out and you feel like you're just blowing hot air into the horn.--Jrobinson5 05:10, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

:if critics consider it one of Scorsese's best works, and Scorsese is just about my favorite director, and I have read and re-read Jane Austen etc. for pleasure again and again my whole life, then why Oh why have I rented this movie twice and been bored almost to death both times? I am turning it off with the counter at 25 minutes. Is it a good movie? or is it a piece of pooh?
Edith Wharton wrote it, not Jane Austen. The movie may be difficult if you have not read the book, otherwise it is one of the more faithful book adaptations I've seen. -- Stbalbach 05:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Precipitation: Bangalore 

message: This 2007 promotion never underwent a review and it seems that the article needs some work to rise to current FA standards. Some problems spotted (not exaustive):
* Large portions (entire paragraphs) of uncited text;
* Prose is lacking at times:
** "India's geography and geology are climatically pivotal: the Thar Desert in the northwest and the Himalayas in the north work in tandem to create a culturally and economically important monsoonal regime."  
** "These hot winds greatly affect human comfort during this season. Rain follows. The rainy season begins in June. The rainiest months are July and August. The rains are the gifts of the southwest monsoon."  
* Sentences that do not make sense:
** "The region averages 800 millimetres (31 in)"  ??? We were talking about temperatures immediately before.
** "Yet such rains reduce temperatures and can replenish groundwater tables, rivers." - sentence placement makes no sense, we were talking about economic impact of monsoons.
**  "Tornadoes may also occur, concentrated in a corridor stretching from northeastern India towards Pakistan. They are rare, however; only several dozen have been reported since 1835." - The idea of several dozen tornadoes does not strike me as a rare ocurrence. It's uncommon, I would think. Anyway, the wording is not precise.
* The article has not been updated with the most recent scholarship since its promotion (I spot very few papers published after 2007 in the article) Some examples that could be included:
** Weather, Climate Change and Death in India (2017)
** Changes in the characteristics of rain events in India (2009)
** The Unequal Effects of Weather and Climate Change: Evidence from Mortality in India (2014)
* In the summer section, the "loo" is introduced twice in the same section:
** "Another striking feature of summer is the Loo (wind). These are strong, gusty, hot, dry winds that blow during the day in India."
** "At lower elevations, in parts of northern and western India, a strong, hot, and dry wind known as the loo blows in from the west during the daytime"
* Image placement needs sorting;
* Chang 1967, Grossman 2002, Chumakov & Zharkov 2003, Blasco, Bellan & Aizpuru 1996, at least, need page numbers in the citations;
* What is the difference between "Articles" and "Items" in the References? Because there are articles listed under "Items".
I did not read the whole article, these are only some observations. RetiredDuke (talk) 21:46, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
