Talk:Håkan Lans

message: I removed the statement Lans has been labeled a patent troll by Swedish writer Oscar Swartz since the reference used was to Swartz's blog. If this labeling has received attention by others it would perhaps be relevant for the Lans article, but if not I believe that this should be in the Schwarz article rather than in the Lans article. - Tournesol (talk) 11:59, 5 November 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Power-factor correction

message: Article should be Power factor correction as per capitalization rules. - Omegatron 14:59, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
PFC exists outside the world of computer power supplies.  Needs expansion. - Omegatron 14:59, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
"It is an indicative tell-tale sign of a passively PFC'd computer power supply, that the AC input voltage (110V / 230V) needs to be set manually."
:As opposed to what?  Removed for now. - Omegatron 14:56, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
" This form of correction is considered fairly rudimentary these days, and it can only reach the maximum power factor efficiency of about 75%."
:Not sure where that came from.  power factor can be made exactly 1 with the right values, no?  Removed for now.  If this is a common myth in computer supplies, we should debunk it. - Omegatron 16:08, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
::Probably related to switching power supplies, like triac wave chopper things. - Omegatron 16:37, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
"Computer power supplies with A-PFC theoretically accept all ranges of AC input voltages, m"
:Huh??  What does PFC have to do with AC input voltages?  Unless I'm missing something (always possible), this article is confusing PFC with compatibility with international power supplies (120 V vs 230 V), and apparently there are computer PSUs that automatically detect the power line voltage and adjust their step-down transformer accordingly?  These ideas aren't connected at all, are they? - Omegatron 16:16, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
::They are connected in that if you do active PFC, there is typically a boost-mode preregulator that makes the DC rail. It often turns out to be easy to tolerate a wide input voltage there. If you don't do active PFC, then the traditional thing to do is to replace the preregulator with a circuit that is configurable (via the voltage range switch) to be either a full-wave rectifier (at 220), or a voltage doubler (at 110).66.30.201.209 00:11, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Muon spin spectroscopy

message: The first attempt at the Muon spin spectroscopy page was aimed at enucleating 
a minimal set of information.
Of course, the entry point could be renamed μSR, or Muon Spin Rotation.
The choice of spin spectroscopy in the initial version was meant to avoid approaching the subject 
by dealing with the nominalistic aspect, invoked by the final R in the acronym, directly in the first line.
Maybe we could start to plan future enhancements by discussing the layout in these pages.
Issues: 
* iconography 
* technical details
* major applications
* references
* further reading

Talk:Timothy White (writer)

message: For some reason, this page titled "Timothy White" is being confused with anthropologist Tim White, who helped Don Johanson discover a hominin species called Australopithecus afarensis. It is linked from the page "Cradle of Humanity" when Tim White is mentioned, but not from page "Australopithecus afarensis" where Tim White is mentioned, where it seems to be that Tim White the anthropologist actually does not have a page of his own. How can the erroneous link be removed?
Thanks.

Talk:Fen line

message: Fen Line has consistently refused the "rural line" and "community rail" tags from the UK government and its agencies. Rural lines are usually operated at low speeds by diesel trains, like the Marston Vale line.
The Fen Line is a fully electric secondary line, usually operated by class 365 trains at up to 100mph, running on to the East Coast Main Line north of Hitchin and through to King's Cross. Why does Wikipedia disagree?

replies: text: FYI it's fully electrified and worked by 365's but the top speed is 40 mph, at least between Cambridge and Ely!
Thanks. I added a few notes on the types, names and future plans for the line. It will be combined with the KX-Cambridge line for the forseeable and the plan is to make it part of the Thameslink 3000 empire.
Currently the line in between Ely and Littleport is out of action due to severe damage to a bridge, and looks like it will be for some time, would this be worthy of inclusion in the article or are only rail accidents involving people counted?

# A student activity center, at a college or university
# STUDS - Spouses Trailing Under Duress Successfully an organization of male trailing spouses (Brussels, London, Paris)

thread_title:  De-trainwreck 

message: Per MOS:DABMENTION, the topic must be mentioned in the target article, but there is no requirement that the search term must be included. For example, FAP lists slang usage for masturbation, yet the masturbation article does not contain the term "fap". Cum links to Vaginal discharge and ejaculation, neither of which contains the term "cum" in prose. feminist (talk) 05:32, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: WP:SOFIXIT ~ GB fan 09:53, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

text: I might have misinterpreted your comment the first time I read it.  DABMENTION is talking about the term being mentioned on the page.  In this case the word stud should be mentioned on either the physical attractiveness or the Sexual attraction article and then only that one should be listed here.  If it is mentioned on both then that should be two entries on this page.  Just because someone decided to put something that isn't mentioned there doesn't mean this page sould be wrong also.  ~ GB fan 10:25, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Where does it say that the search term must be listed on the target article? The topic is a (physically or sexually) attractive male, which is covered in the two linked articles. I looked at both Physical attractiveness and Sexual attraction and I don't think it would be encyclopedic or WP:DUE to include this meaning of the term "stud". feminist (talk) 10:53, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

text: Or put it in another way: a reader searching for the term "stud" won't be looking for its dictionary definition, so it's unhelpful to include that in an article. Yet it's reasonable for a reader to want to search for what makes a man attractive. feminist (talk) 10:55, 4 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: When it is talking about the topic in that sentence it is talking about the topic of the DAB page.  In this case the topic is "stud".  So stud (the topic) has to be mentioned in the articles we link to from this page.  If someone wants to know dictionary definitions they should go to a dictionary.  There is a link to Wikitionary included at the top of the page and it has a definition about sexually attractive.  ~ GB fan 11:27, 4 December 2018 (UTC)

From what I know, while BBC World viewers go to commercial breaks, BBC One and News 24 viewers are usually treated to a quick summary of UK News (in the World Business Report portion, UK Business News is also presented) since BBC's domestic channels don't allow for commercials.

Talk:Carmack's Reverse

message: Just because you have a patent doesnt mean you have to tell people about it. Anyone can go look for the patent but you don't have to advertise it, ala submarine patents.
: To add to that, Carmack discovers it independently, but patent requires you to be able to document that you are the first one to do so, and Carmack didn't discover it first, but since he's famous, this algorithm is known commonly as the Carmack's Reverse.
::Actually, it's a little more complicated than that.  The issue of who was first to invent only comes up with US patents.  Even then, it only comes up if two parties file separate patent applications that each attempt to claim the same invention.  Then there is a process called an "interference" where the USPTO determines who was first and who is entitled to the patent.  If only one party files the patent application then they are the ones to get a patent.  It doesn't matter if anyone else invented it earlier, provided that directions on how to make and use the invention have not been public for more than a year before the patent application was filed.  --Nowa 19:32, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
