Talk:Stoddard engine

message: Glenn,Why do you believe 'The power piston and cylinder is not shown' in the image of the 1919 Stoddard Engine?  Mikiemike 12:15, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Question 

message: The Thermodynamic cycle page says that the Stoddard cycle has 4 stages: adiabatic, isometric, adiabatic, isometric.  But this page says the Stoddard cycle is adiabatic, *isobaric*, adiabatic, *isobaric*.  Can some expert fix the page that's wrong?
Stoddard's 1933 patent --- you can see it on this page --- says: "It is to be noted that the increase in pressure at the end of the up stroke of the piston is due to the rise in temperature and not to mechanical work".  That sounds like an isometric stage, not an isobaric one.  John Baez (talk) 17:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Images

message: The first sentence says that Lithuanian Americans are Americans who are of Lithuanian ancestry.  Among the sports people not mentioned in this article are basketball players Arvydas Sabonis, Sarunas Marciulionis, hockey player Darius Kasparaitis, and wrestler Aksana (wrestler) (Živilė Raudonienė), who were born and raised in Lithuania, but have come to the United States.  Are people who were born and raised in Lithuania, but moved permanently to the USA not Lithuanian Americans?  Only a fairly small picture and caption mentioned the prominent ex-president of Lithuania Valdas Adamkus, until I came along and added him to the Prominent Lithuanian Americans list.  He was born and raised in Lithuania but got his education at Illinois Institute of Technology in the USA and worked for the US Government practically his entire career until he moved to Lithuania to become its president.  However, I do see Antanas Smetona, an early president of the Republic of Lithuania who then moved to the USA, in the Prominent Lithuanian Americans list.  Most of the article seems to be about people who were born Americans and live in the USA, but who had one or more Lithuanian ancestors.  People born in Lithuania almost always have one or more Lithuanian ancestors,and so according to the definition, if they permanently move to the USA or become its citizens, they should be Lithuanian Americans.  Does anybody care to clarify the definition?  H Padleckas (talk) 03:12, 5 March 2014 (UTC)

Now, in 2016, he clearly describes it as an opera, as does his colleague Michael Cooper. The work's publisher, Boosey & Hawkes, lists the details in ther "Opera" section: http://www.boosey.com/pages/opera/moredetails.asp?musicid=6803.

Talk:Ja Lama

message: I think the more common Mongolian name for Ja Lama is Dambijantsan (although Dambijaa is also common). Since he is mostly known for his role in Mongolia's struggle for independence, IMO it would be fair to move the article.
Second, I don't think Ossendowski's usefulness as a historical source is well-established. Basing the article on other sources might be preferable.Yaan 13:55, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Khalkha may call him "Dambijanstan," but the Kalmyks call him "Ja Lama," and he is a product of the great Oirat tradition of militant Buddhism. --Buzava 02:43, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: It depends on your perspective, but I have no problem with conjugating his name, e.g., "Dambijanstan Ja Lama." --Buzava 14:42, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: or maybe keep it as it is. a redirect and the alternative names in the introductory sentence should suffice.Yaan 07:25, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

text: On another note, according to Mongolchuud: Nuudel Suudal (paperback), vol.2, UB 2006, p.81 by Baabar, Dambijantsan appeared in western Mongolia in 1902 (In the english edition, it might be part of the first 'book'). But Baabar doesn't give sources for that statement, and if you have sources stating that noone knows where he was, they may well be more accurate. Anyway, thanks for writing the article, he was one of the really important persons in 1911-21 Mongolia. Yaan 09:28, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, from the years 1899-1901, Ja Lama is said to have served as a guide to explorer P.K. Kozlov under the name "Sherap Lama." The expedition travelled thru Mongolia and the Kham province in Tibet. Afterwards, it is believed Ja Lama returned to Kobdo in western Mongolia after spending some time in Qara Shahr. I guess the accuracy of this account can be called into question, since Ja Lama used numerous aliases, e.g., George Roerich called him "Baldan," and the Dilowa Khutukthu referred to him as "Dawa Shabrong." --Buzava 21:03, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Fairest of the Fair

message: I came across this citation:
http://www.naxos.com/mainsite/blurbs_reviews.asp?item_code=8.559029&catNum=559029&filetype=About+this+Recording&language=English
which is in the liner notes of a CD of Sousa's marches. The passage regarding the girl who inspired him to write "The Fairest of the Fair" reads:
"The Fairest of the Fair is generally regarded as one of Sousa's finest and most melodic marches. It was an immediate success and has remained one of his most popular compositions. It was composed to honour the sponsors of the 1908 Boston Food Fair, an annual exposition and music jubilee held by the Boston Retail Grocers' Association, for which the Sousa band was for several years the main musical attraction. In fairs before 1908, Sousa had been impressed by the beauty and charm of one particular young lady who was the centre of attention of the displays in which she was employed. When the invitation came for the Sousa Band to playa twenty-day engagement in 1908, he wrote this march. Remembering the comely girl, he entitled the new march The Fairest of the Fair."
Here's another resource:
http://engagedscholarship.csuohio.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1002&context=clmusic_facpub
Does the community think these qualify as valid sources, considering one is scholarly and one came from the members of the Sousa band itself?

replies: text: The trouble, this is basically an obscure Flemish folk sport. Outside of Belgium and a few clubs in the Netherlands it doesn't exist. Hence, English sources are extremely limited.

message: Not really sure what happened to the GA review mentioned up above, but I guess I'll take over.  Basically the article's great!  GA passed!  I don't really see the limit sources as a huge problem.  It's a pretty obscure topic, and the sources provided are solid, so no worries there.  Might be a problem for FA, but I'm cool with it.  I do have one minor suggestion: 
*"By the late nineteenth century, vinkenzetting's popularity had diminished significantly; it saw a resurgence after the First World War." The semi-colon makes this sentence a little awkward, and a big gramatical/tense jump.  Try to rephrase.

Please elaborate -- bearing in mind that not every composition titled "In Nomine" will necessarily be an example of this type.
