I am not sure about that, but the incorrect information remains: "From a distance of 4,000 feet". To investigate further, I watched a documentary on the A-10 which stated that the gun is capable of being accurate to 3.5 miles. Any other source I read on google says 5 miles. Not "Mils". This includes the GAU-8's own Wikipedia article, which clearly states it on the specifications page here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GAU-8_Avenger#Specifications

The video is here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0iqS-XCmEQ

And I am sure more information can be found on google. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Haxxploits (talk • contribs) 02:03, 8 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-03-08T02:03:00.000Z","author":"Haxxploits","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Haxxploits-2008-03-08T02:03:00.000Z-Warthog","replies":[]}}-->

Sorry for my tardiness in replying, I was off on other articles for so long. I think the PLATO article should at least have some images of the different terminal types. A screen shot of some of the typical apps, especially the multi-user games, would really spruce it up too. A good lead-in picture would be a shot of a PLATO classroom.

Hi Paul- Sorry for the delay getting back to you. Just wanted to say thanks for the heads-up on the balance wheel broken picture link. You were right, I misspelled the name.

I liked your June 28 addition to Balance wheel about middle temp error and auxiliary compensation. I didn't realize that auxiliary compensation became a standard part of chronometers and was not experimental. Thanks for correcting the article. I was wondering, did the chronometer industry settle on any standard type of aux. compensation, or did each maker use their own? And how much did aux. compensation improve the accuracy; what is the residual temp error in a good aux. compensation chronometer? --Chetvorno 15:58, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2007-08-05T15:58:00.000Z","author":"Chetvorno","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Chetvorno-2007-08-05T15:58:00.000Z-Balance_Wheel","replies":[]}}-->

I checked the following websites in reference to the change. As you can see there are variations of the exact recorded speed.

If you compare the two articles of Joe Kittinger and Parachuting, you will see the change was to fix the discrepancy of the speed in the parachuting article with that of the one on Kittinger's page. I would consider this to be a "constructive" change, despite it being wrong. With the Air Force website stating the 714 mph I have changed the other Wikipedia articles to reflect what I have found. Feel free next time to dig deeper into why a change was made and actually improve information in ALL the articles, not just one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dubrules (talk • contribs) 09:08, 28 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2008-01-28T09:08:00.000Z","author":"Dubrules","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Dubrules-2008-01-28T09:08:00.000Z-Parachuting","replies":[]}}-->

Hello Paul Koning,

Would you be able to help evaluate the accuracy of translations of Wikipedia articles from Dutch to English Wikipedia?

This would involve evaluating a translated article on the English Wikipedia by comparing it to the original Dutch article, and marking it "Pass" or "Fail" based on whether the translation faithfully represents the original. Here's the reason for this request:

There are a number of articles on English Wikipedia that were created as machine translations from different languages including Dutch, using the Content Translation tool, sometimes by users with no knowledge of the source language. The config problem that allowed this to happen has since been fixed, but this has left us with a backlog of articles whose accuracy of translation is suspect or unknown, including some articles translated from Dutch. In many cases, other editors have come forward later to copyedit and fix any English grammar or style issues, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the translation is accurate, as factual errors from the original translation may remain. To put it another way: Good English is not the same as good translation.

If you can help out, that would be great. Here's a sample of the articles that need checking:

1. Stress wave tomography
2. Studienrat (Germany)

All you have to do, is compare the English article to the Dutch article, and assess them "Pass" or "Fail" (the {{Pass}} and {{Fail}} templates may be useful here). (Naturally, if you feel like fixing an inaccurate translation and then assessing it, that's even better, but it isn't required.) Also please note that we are assessing accuracy not completeness, so if the English article is much shorter that is okay, as long as whatever has been translated so far is factually accurate.

If you can help, please {{ping}} me here to let me know. You can add your pass/fails above, right next to each link, or you may indicate your results below. Thanks!

2. Vleeshal Middelburg

I recently answered a question you asked over a decade ago (!) at Talk:Erasure code#Tie-in to Shamir's Secret Sharing?.

I hope you agree with me that many questions are worth answering, even years after they are asked. --DavidCary (talk) 21:51, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20230218215100","author":"DavidCary","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-DavidCary-20230218215100-Shamir_secret_sharing_is_an_erasure_code","replies":["c-Paul_Koning-20230308012000-DavidCary-20230218215100"]}}-->

I agree with your sentiment on long delayed answers. And I appreciated reading your well informed reply to the question I raised.
