Thx for the thx. ;p I do hope you fixed my syntax goofs... :( TREKphiler any time you're ready, Uhura 14:44, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
Glad you caught my mistake. I must confess that, when I did that, I did not know how to access a user's page at YouTube. When I did a YouTube search on "AtlanticRacingSeries", it responded "Did you mean 'Atlantic Racing Series'?", so I figured the spaces were needed. After you reverted it, I tried to figure out what was going on; and finally discovered that URL youtube.com/user/AtlanticRacingSeries works. If this reference were worth anything nowadays, it might be better to provide the link itself. I am wondering how it is that you managed to catch my mistake. DrHow ( talk) 21:00, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yiba. Yes, it lists a bunch of videos posted by AtlanticRacingSeries, so I was not claiming that that the spaceless version was useless. However, for me, at the top it definitely did (and still does) say, "Did you mean: Atlantic Racing Series", which I incorrectly took to indicate that there was a correctable problem. Ironically if you go to the user page for AtlanticRacingSeries (which is where I was trying to get to in the first place), you find a heading that includes the spaces. Alas, there was a time when it was very interesting series to watch. DrHow ( talk) 20:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Good work on the Engine balance page. It's on my watchlist so I'll be re-reading/checking on it often. I may bring questions on the page directly to your talk page if I run into any.-- Dana60Cummins ( talk) 15:44, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
You could consider making a separate page or pages. But I also think the content box does a good job of making wiki pages easier to read. That being said, engine balance isn't well understood by most mechanics. Engine balance is always a hard read. -- Dana60Cummins ( talk) 16:12, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't see this earlier or I would have answered.
First of all, Diesel cycle and the compression ignition engine (and for that matter, two- and four-stroke) are just different types of things: thermodynamics vs. engineering.
IC piston engines begin with Lenoir and gas engines that can work without compression. Then Otto comes along, with his earlier engines, his theoretical cycle and then some petrol engines with compression and spark ignition. These all have a problem though, they needed a complicated and expensive fuel. The Otto cycle is a constant volume combustion. Combustion is faster than mechanical movement of the piston, so the combustion chamber is of fixed size and undergoes a large increase in pressure. This is difficult - the timing is crucial, so an ignition source is added, and it's chemically tricky to support rapid and complete combustion. Too little and unburnt fuel is wasted; too much and there's a risk of knock.
Several workers wanted to use a cheaper fuel of unrefined oil. Diesel was even looking at powdered coal. Akroyd Stuart develops the semi-diesel or hot bulb engine. Diesel starts to consider an engine design. Both are looking at the compression ignition engine and they recognise the principle of substantial compression being enough to raise the charge to its ignition point.
Diesel though is still thinking about heavy oil fuels. These can't burn fast enough to work with the Otto cycle. So instead he invents the Diesel cycle, with combustion slowly at constant pressure. Combustion begins, then as the piston moves downwards and the combustion chamber volume increases, further fuel is injected to keep combustion happening so that the pressure remains at its peak value. Controlling the burn rate requires the fuelling rate to be carefully controlled. In particular, the inlet mixture is plain air, without fuel, and the fuel is injected.
Diesel's Diesel cycle engine works well and is efficient. Although the engines are big, heavy, slow-moving and expensive for their injection equipment. They do become popular for municipal-scale water pumps and generation, but they're too big and heavy for railway locomotives.
After WWI, Harry Ricardo is successful with his turbulent head side valve combustion chamber, one of the first efficient petrol engines that's cheap to produce. He recognises the principles of gas flow and controlled turbulence. Demand for a lighter Diesel engine is obvious, and running it faster is an obvious way to achieve this. Diesel's air-blast injection can't achieve this though. Ricardo (following similar work by Prosper L'Orange) recognises that if the fuel can't meet the air, turbulence would allow the air to meet the fuel. This solid fuel injection, and careful design of combustion chambers, is the key to the high-speed diesel engine, from about 1930. These engines aren't universal, as the medium-speed engine appears too and occupies the fixed and railway markets for another 30-50 years. However cars and trucks adopt the high-speed engines very quickly. These compression-ignition direct-injection engines, and the diesel engines we still use today, are using the Otto (fast combustion and constant volume) cycle, rather than the (slow combustion and constant pressure) Diesel cycle though.
Today the Diesel cycle is the preserve of some large, slow-revving and very efficient ship engines. But the rest of us are using Otto as a cycle, whichever fuel and ignition method. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your edit at Template:User ja, which changed 「母語」to「母国語」. Although sometimes confused with each other, they are actually different concepts: 母語 can safely be translated to "mother tongue", while 母国語 is interpreted as the national language of one's homeland (, which is not necessarily one's mother tongue). I believe 母語 is the proper expression for Template:User ja. Could you consider reverting your edit? -- Best regards, あるうぃんす ( talk) 05:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Could someone direct me to a page/resource on Wikipedia policy or guideline on categorizing people from former colonies? Guy Moll was born and raised in Algeria before its gaining independence, and has been categorized and described as a "French racing driver", and I find the description and the categorization could be offensive to the people of Algeria. Key points are:
As the concept of 'nationality' itself is political in nature, Wikipedia's past dealings with politically-sensitive issues may be where the answers may be found (how were/are people of Hong Kong who died before 1997 categorized? British? Is the method recognized by Wikipedia policy?, what will happen to the nationality categorization when a colony gains independence in the future?), but I don't know how best to research.

OK, here is what I came up with:
As a sideline, an example of what to expect in the future may be:
Many (most?) Scottish and Welsh people are described as Scottish/Welsh:
I agree that starting with
WP:COMMONSENSE is the best practice in resolving most problems in Wikipedia. I also agree that Wikipedia is
not a bureaucracy, and I prefer less policies if possible. But many political issues can/should not be resolved in voting because, for example, Algerian/Scottish/Welsh people for my examples above can never be reasonably convinced if decided against, and I think
WP:CONSENSUS is quite clear on the limitation of voting-style democracy.
Template:FlagIOCathlete could be a precedent if it automatically assigns a nationality to a given athlete name based on a table built with Wikipedia concensus, but it doesn't. Here is a stupid source example:
and here is what it displays:
I would use a flag that best represents the nationality in the appropriate era if available, so the accuracy/timeliness of the flag design is not the issue, but the nationality is. (Was there a flag for Algeria under French governance?)
I agree that Wikipedia is not censored, but we do need to try making contents as less-potentially-offensive as possible, and when the result is still potentially offensive, then we need to make sure it is covered under the Content Disclaimer. ( WP:NOTCENSORED does not give a complete freedom on potentially offensive content even if it is accurate and valid, I'd think.)
Wikipedia:Content disclaimer says about potentially-objectionable content: "Wikipedia's current policy is to include such content, provided it breaches neither any of our existing policies (especially Neutral point of view) nor the laws of the United States" implying that any content that breaches WP:NPOV is outside of this inclusion policy and the disclaimer. WP:NPOV is very clear on things that can be viewed from two (or more) opposing (or different) points of view, that they need to be described/presented as such, never to be presented with one-sided view point. Of course this logic assumes there isn't a policy (which we haven't found, and might be lurking somewhere on Wikipedia:List of policies or Wikipedia:List of guidelines or elsewhere well hidden) that qualifies nationality to be an exception to NPOV.
So, when the Algerian and the French views (or UK and Scottish, etc.) are potentially conflicting and only one side is presented, then the article is in breach of NPOV in my view, and the potential offensiveness/objectionability is not covered under the disclaimer. It may be less important if majority or minority of Algerians are offended (or which of French or Algerian are more offended, or they are actually offended at all), than the fact the lack of policy (assuming there isn't one) is leaving the articles one-sided with potential objectionability and not being covered under the disclaimer. Of the examples I listed above, Jochen Rindt, Andrew Carnegie and Yamilé Aldama may be the only ones that's not one-sided at the time of this writing. I am learning a lot in this process, and am still convinced that there should be a policy.

I know little about formula 1 or what they're up to these days. There's relatively little use of it in the '40s for aircraft and that's fairly well known - except the R-R Griffon, which had some experimental use as a turbo-compound but is still in the archives.
What I can add is about the origins. In the 1930s, diesels were undergoing substantial development. High-speed diesels were having forced induction applied. Particularly in work by Saurer, there was an effort to see just how much boost was practical. In contrast to petrol engines, it was found that it was relatively easy apply a high boost of maybe 6 bar without problems such as detonation. These high boost engines were mostly using centrifugal superchargers. What then became a problem was how to extract mechanically all of the extra thermodynamic energy released. The engine was now running with an effective compression ratio far in excess of the piston's mechanical compression. Considering the piston power stroke as an expansion phase in a heat engine, there just wasn't enough stroke or expansion for the combustion gases to do enough work on the crankshaft! The exhaust still remained hot and pressured, with much of the energy still remaining in it.
A solution was the turbo-compound. By running the exhaust through an expansion turbine, more of this energy could be extracted.
Turbo-compounds were difficult though. Just coupling the fast turbine shaft to the slow crankshaft was a problem, especially as there really needed to be a variable speed drive in there too.
What was realised though was that driving the mechanical supercharger required substantial power. About as much power as could easily be extracted from the exhaust turbine. So coupling one to the other directly provided a neat solution to supercharger drives, and avoided the need for turbo compounding the exhaust turbine. This was effectively a parallel evolution to the Büchi turbocharging system that had been tried some years earlier and would now become the dominant approach for supercharging large four stroke diesels at constant loads (Two strokes in vehicles usually stuck with Roots blowers, as they gave better scavenging at low speeds). This is incidentally why turbo exhaust manifolds can run red hot (and why sodium cooled valves might be needed), yet their outlets don't and neither do normally aspirated exhausts.
As to the other matters, then yes, I've probably given up as a contributor to Wikipedia. One admin stated that it would be better if I were blocked than Betacommand and the other has told me that he considers me de facto banned anyway and will indef block me if I post to ANI again.

Hi, as you know I've been tidying up the references in Battle of Tsushima. There are two sources that are mentioned in edits that you've made - "McLaughlin" and "Campbell" - that don't have entries in the bibliography. Could you add them in your next edit? Thanks Chuntuk ( talk) 11:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Is there a JACAR link for the "director" section of the Tsushima article, "Imperial Japanese Navy Records, Report from Battleship Mikasa, Nr.205, Classified, 1904 (in Japanese)"? Someone just claimed that the practice was assisted by "a Royal Navy advisor" which sounds dubious as the man on Asahi, Captain William Pakenham, was utterly opposed to centralisation of fire control. Of course it could have been the other British observer, Thomas Jackson, but given that Pakenham had complained vociferously about a slightly more senior captain interfering in what he saw as "his" squadron, I can't see him allowing the junior Jackson to encroach directly on his territory. — Simon Harley ( Talk | Library). 16:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Given the level of understanding and the sources you presented, I would like 'your' removing my references to Walter Thring on central control firing system, even before your visiting the National Archives next time if you deem it appropriate. Although History remains one of my hobbies, I'm no longer active as a wiki editor. My personal opinion is that high ranking officers (and their opinions), especially generals and admirals, tend to be over-rated by design. They are good politicians and often good writers. An effective military system has/had mostly informal ways to counteract that tendency in times of war. Good luck. Yiba ( talk | contribs) 16:03, 8 April 2021 (UTC)

Glad you caught my mistake. I must confess that, when I did that, I did not know how to access a user's page at YouTube. When I did a YouTube search on "AtlanticRacingSeries", it responded "Did you mean 'Atlantic Racing Series'?", so I figured the spaces were needed. After you reverted it, I tried to figure out what was going on; and finally discovered that URL youtube.com/user/AtlanticRacingSeries works. If this reference were worth anything nowadays, it might be better to provide the link itself. I am wondering how it is that you managed to catch my mistake. DrHow ( talk) 21:00, 8 August 2013 (UTC)
Hi Yiba. Yes, it lists a bunch of videos posted by AtlanticRacingSeries, so I was not claiming that that the spaceless version was useless. However, for me, at the top it definitely did (and still does) say, "Did you mean: Atlantic Racing Series", which I incorrectly took to indicate that there was a correctable problem. Ironically if you go to the user page for AtlanticRacingSeries (which is where I was trying to get to in the first place), you find a heading that includes the spaces. Alas, there was a time when it was very interesting series to watch. DrHow ( talk) 20:54, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Good work on the Engine balance page. It's on my watchlist so I'll be re-reading/checking on it often. I may bring questions on the page directly to your talk page if I run into any.-- Dana60Cummins ( talk) 15:44, 5 November 2013 (UTC)
You could consider making a separate page or pages. But I also think the content box does a good job of making wiki pages easier to read. That being said, engine balance isn't well understood by most mechanics. Engine balance is always a hard read. -- Dana60Cummins ( talk) 16:12, 1 December 2013 (UTC)
Sorry I didn't see this earlier or I would have answered.
First of all, Diesel cycle and the compression ignition engine (and for that matter, two- and four-stroke) are just different types of things: thermodynamics vs. engineering.
IC piston engines begin with Lenoir and gas engines that can work without compression. Then Otto comes along, with his earlier engines, his theoretical cycle and then some petrol engines with compression and spark ignition. These all have a problem though, they needed a complicated and expensive fuel. The Otto cycle is a constant volume combustion. Combustion is faster than mechanical movement of the piston, so the combustion chamber is of fixed size and undergoes a large increase in pressure. This is difficult - the timing is crucial, so an ignition source is added, and it's chemically tricky to support rapid and complete combustion. Too little and unburnt fuel is wasted; too much and there's a risk of knock.
Several workers wanted to use a cheaper fuel of unrefined oil. Diesel was even looking at powdered coal. Akroyd Stuart develops the semi-diesel or hot bulb engine. Diesel starts to consider an engine design. Both are looking at the compression ignition engine and they recognise the principle of substantial compression being enough to raise the charge to its ignition point.
Diesel though is still thinking about heavy oil fuels. These can't burn fast enough to work with the Otto cycle. So instead he invents the Diesel cycle, with combustion slowly at constant pressure. Combustion begins, then as the piston moves downwards and the combustion chamber volume increases, further fuel is injected to keep combustion happening so that the pressure remains at its peak value. Controlling the burn rate requires the fuelling rate to be carefully controlled. In particular, the inlet mixture is plain air, without fuel, and the fuel is injected.
Diesel's Diesel cycle engine works well and is efficient. Although the engines are big, heavy, slow-moving and expensive for their injection equipment. They do become popular for municipal-scale water pumps and generation, but they're too big and heavy for railway locomotives.
After WWI, Harry Ricardo is successful with his turbulent head side valve combustion chamber, one of the first efficient petrol engines that's cheap to produce. He recognises the principles of gas flow and controlled turbulence. Demand for a lighter Diesel engine is obvious, and running it faster is an obvious way to achieve this. Diesel's air-blast injection can't achieve this though. Ricardo (following similar work by Prosper L'Orange) recognises that if the fuel can't meet the air, turbulence would allow the air to meet the fuel. This solid fuel injection, and careful design of combustion chambers, is the key to the high-speed diesel engine, from about 1930. These engines aren't universal, as the medium-speed engine appears too and occupies the fixed and railway markets for another 30-50 years. However cars and trucks adopt the high-speed engines very quickly. These compression-ignition direct-injection engines, and the diesel engines we still use today, are using the Otto (fast combustion and constant volume) cycle, rather than the (slow combustion and constant pressure) Diesel cycle though.
Today the Diesel cycle is the preserve of some large, slow-revving and very efficient ship engines. But the rest of us are using Otto as a cycle, whichever fuel and ignition method. Andy Dingley ( talk) 02:35, 6 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi. I saw your edit at Template:User ja, which changed 「母語」to「母国語」. Although sometimes confused with each other, they are actually different concepts: 母語 can safely be translated to "mother tongue", while 母国語 is interpreted as the national language of one's homeland (, which is not necessarily one's mother tongue). I believe 母語 is the proper expression for Template:User ja. Could you consider reverting your edit? -- Best regards, あるうぃんす ( talk) 05:18, 19 January 2014 (UTC)

Could someone direct me to a page/resource on Wikipedia policy or guideline on categorizing people from former colonies? Guy Moll was born and raised in Algeria before its gaining independence, and has been categorized and described as a "French racing driver", and I find the description and the categorization could be offensive to the people of Algeria. Key points are:
As the concept of 'nationality' itself is political in nature, Wikipedia's past dealings with politically-sensitive issues may be where the answers may be found (how were/are people of Hong Kong who died before 1997 categorized? British? Is the method recognized by Wikipedia policy?, what will happen to the nationality categorization when a colony gains independence in the future?), but I don't know how best to research.

OK, here is what I came up with:
As a sideline, an example of what to expect in the future may be:
Many (most?) Scottish and Welsh people are described as Scottish/Welsh:
I agree that starting with
WP:COMMONSENSE is the best practice in resolving most problems in Wikipedia. I also agree that Wikipedia is
not a bureaucracy, and I prefer less policies if possible. But many political issues can/should not be resolved in voting because, for example, Algerian/Scottish/Welsh people for my examples above can never be reasonably convinced if decided against, and I think
WP:CONSENSUS is quite clear on the limitation of voting-style democracy.
Template:FlagIOCathlete could be a precedent if it automatically assigns a nationality to a given athlete name based on a table built with Wikipedia concensus, but it doesn't. Here is a stupid source example:
and here is what it displays:
I would use a flag that best represents the nationality in the appropriate era if available, so the accuracy/timeliness of the flag design is not the issue, but the nationality is. (Was there a flag for Algeria under French governance?)
I agree that Wikipedia is not censored, but we do need to try making contents as less-potentially-offensive as possible, and when the result is still potentially offensive, then we need to make sure it is covered under the Content Disclaimer. ( WP:NOTCENSORED does not give a complete freedom on potentially offensive content even if it is accurate and valid, I'd think.)
Wikipedia:Content disclaimer says about potentially-objectionable content: "Wikipedia's current policy is to include such content, provided it breaches neither any of our existing policies (especially Neutral point of view) nor the laws of the United States" implying that any content that breaches WP:NPOV is outside of this inclusion policy and the disclaimer. WP:NPOV is very clear on things that can be viewed from two (or more) opposing (or different) points of view, that they need to be described/presented as such, never to be presented with one-sided view point. Of course this logic assumes there isn't a policy (which we haven't found, and might be lurking somewhere on Wikipedia:List of policies or Wikipedia:List of guidelines or elsewhere well hidden) that qualifies nationality to be an exception to NPOV.
So, when the Algerian and the French views (or UK and Scottish, etc.) are potentially conflicting and only one side is presented, then the article is in breach of NPOV in my view, and the potential offensiveness/objectionability is not covered under the disclaimer. It may be less important if majority or minority of Algerians are offended (or which of French or Algerian are more offended, or they are actually offended at all), than the fact the lack of policy (assuming there isn't one) is leaving the articles one-sided with potential objectionability and not being covered under the disclaimer. Of the examples I listed above, Jochen Rindt, Andrew Carnegie and Yamilé Aldama may be the only ones that's not one-sided at the time of this writing. I am learning a lot in this process, and am still convinced that there should be a policy.

I know little about formula 1 or what they're up to these days. There's relatively little use of it in the '40s for aircraft and that's fairly well known - except the R-R Griffon, which had some experimental use as a turbo-compound but is still in the archives.
What I can add is about the origins. In the 1930s, diesels were undergoing substantial development. High-speed diesels were having forced induction applied. Particularly in work by Saurer, there was an effort to see just how much boost was practical. In contrast to petrol engines, it was found that it was relatively easy apply a high boost of maybe 6 bar without problems such as detonation. These high boost engines were mostly using centrifugal superchargers. What then became a problem was how to extract mechanically all of the extra thermodynamic energy released. The engine was now running with an effective compression ratio far in excess of the piston's mechanical compression. Considering the piston power stroke as an expansion phase in a heat engine, there just wasn't enough stroke or expansion for the combustion gases to do enough work on the crankshaft! The exhaust still remained hot and pressured, with much of the energy still remaining in it.
A solution was the turbo-compound. By running the exhaust through an expansion turbine, more of this energy could be extracted.
Turbo-compounds were difficult though. Just coupling the fast turbine shaft to the slow crankshaft was a problem, especially as there really needed to be a variable speed drive in there too.
What was realised though was that driving the mechanical supercharger required substantial power. About as much power as could easily be extracted from the exhaust turbine. So coupling one to the other directly provided a neat solution to supercharger drives, and avoided the need for turbo compounding the exhaust turbine. This was effectively a parallel evolution to the Büchi turbocharging system that had been tried some years earlier and would now become the dominant approach for supercharging large four stroke diesels at constant loads (Two strokes in vehicles usually stuck with Roots blowers, as they gave better scavenging at low speeds). This is incidentally why turbo exhaust manifolds can run red hot (and why sodium cooled valves might be needed), yet their outlets don't and neither do normally aspirated exhausts.
As to the other matters, then yes, I've probably given up as a contributor to Wikipedia. One admin stated that it would be better if I were blocked than Betacommand and the other has told me that he considers me de facto banned anyway and will indef block me if I post to ANI again.

Hi, as you know I've been tidying up the references in Battle of Tsushima. There are two sources that are mentioned in edits that you've made - "McLaughlin" and "Campbell" - that don't have entries in the bibliography. Could you add them in your next edit? Thanks Chuntuk ( talk) 11:40, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
Is there a JACAR link for the "director" section of the Tsushima article, "Imperial Japanese Navy Records, Report from Battleship Mikasa, Nr.205, Classified, 1904 (in Japanese)"? Someone just claimed that the practice was assisted by "a Royal Navy advisor" which sounds dubious as the man on Asahi, Captain William Pakenham, was utterly opposed to centralisation of fire control. Of course it could have been the other British observer, Thomas Jackson, but given that Pakenham had complained vociferously about a slightly more senior captain interfering in what he saw as "his" squadron, I can't see him allowing the junior Jackson to encroach directly on his territory. — Simon Harley ( Talk | Library). 16:45, 5 April 2021 (UTC)
Given the level of understanding and the sources you presented, I would like 'your' removing my references to Walter Thring on central control firing system, even before your visiting the National Archives next time if you deem it appropriate. Although History remains one of my hobbies, I'm no longer active as a wiki editor. My personal opinion is that high ranking officers (and their opinions), especially generals and admirals, tend to be over-rated by design. They are good politicians and often good writers. An effective military system has/had mostly informal ways to counteract that tendency in times of war. Good luck. Yiba ( talk | contribs) 16:03, 8 April 2021 (UTC)
