Talk:Magnetic lock

message: Great article, but most maglocks have mechanisms in them that allow them to be fail-safe (locking system fails in the event of power disruption), or fail-secure (locking system stays active in the event of power disruption, until it it disengaged).
:Generally most mag-locks are designed to "fail-open"/"fail insecure" this is due to their usage in emergency exit type scenarios. When a fire alarm is activated, most building codes require that all mag-locks be released, as a fail safe, in the event that a fire alarm should malfunction during a power interruption or a state of emergency exist that is so catastrophic it knocks out all power to the building, it is only natural to want to have the locks "fail-open" ... that being said there is nothing stopping building operators from putting mag-locks on an emergency power supply such as a generator, so that so long as emergency power is being supplied (ie the building/wiring has not be catastrophically compromised) the locks will secure.

thread_title:  Request for Comment 

message: The current writing in Section "Death and inquest" and sub heading "Autopsy" states that "During the autopsy, Chenar discovered a "pecan-sized" brain tumor,[60] which he labeled an astrocytoma and which exhibited a small amount of necrosis. He concluded that the tumor had no effect on Whitman's actions." 
This is not reflected in the source given or the source after as it is a dead link. Source 60 states to the contrary "A pathologist reported Whitman was in virtually perfect health at the time of the shooting but the jury report said a brain tumour "undoubtedly" caused him such mental pain and possibly contributed to his actions." 
I think the section needs to be rewritten and more sources need to obtained but at least the line "He concluded that the tumor had no effect on Whitman's actions." Should be removed.

She is published as Le Ly Hayslip and credited in the movie as Le Ly Hayslip so that's certainly the most-recognizable.

Talk:Pancoast tumor

message: It seems to me this article should either be expanded substantively to discuss other aspects of Pancoast tumor besides the Horner's effects, or merged. It should perhaps also be noted that Pancoast tumor need not cause Horner's-like symptoms, though it is classically associated with them.
DHeller
Probably also worth noting that the apparent enopthalmos of Horner's is not entirely due to ptosis.  Reverse ptosis of the lower lid, the miosis itself resulting in the appearance of greater distance of the pupil, and change in extraocular muscle tone resulting in globe retraction also play a role.

thread_title: Stub

message: In a snippet of a documentary on Absinthe I watched a few years ago, the "ritual" was a bit different in that it consisted of melting the cube through heat rather than water. The absinthe (probably with added water) was filled into the glass, then the spoon with the sugar was placed above it and the cube was drenched in a bit absinthe (via pouring), then lit on fire (because of the high alcohol content), which would result in the characteristically coloured ethanol flame. Any sources for this procedure? I remember them showing this as well, so it's apparently possible. -- Ashmodai
:Possibly worth noting.  The ritual you describe is often called the "czech method" and was invented in the 1990s.  There are a number of different variations on the burning sugar cube theme some use a normal spoon, others the slotted spoon.  In some variations the cube is dropped into the absinth, setting it on fire then water is poured till it goes out. -- Ari 16:34, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Also various changes to punctuation/grammar as well as one reference added.
As for the rest of the awards section in need of references (or even just clarification, in many cases), I'm not sure what sources would back up some of the claims listed.

I don't know what is meant by 'BLP issues', but if taken broadly, I don't think that poets necessarily need to be feminists or have feminist themes in their poetry to be listed here. The term 'feminism' only came to be widely used in the 19th century and the very act of composing verse could have been considered a feminist act, at least at the time. If this list should grow too large, we can certainly look at setting up some inclusion criteria.
