Jargon

What kind of article would you write under scientific jargon...? -- SCZenz (talk) 12:15, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

I would have imagined some sort of segmented structure, with corollary links to more fully-developed articles, e.g.,

Jargon?

{{main|Jargon}}

See, e.g, pernicious, insidious cancer in 1999 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Wit by Margaret Edson?

Scientific jargon?

{{main|Scientific terminology}}

See, e.g, Stage IV, Metastatic ovarian cancer?

Technical jargon?

{{main|Technical terminology}}

See, e.g, Grand rounds?

Does this perhaps help move the thread towards a constructive resolution of expressed and/or as-yet unstated issues? --Tenmei (talk) 07:47, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Fire Following Earthquake

This is the first book to cover the entire range of fire following earthquake (FFE) issues ranging from historical fires to 20th century fires in Kobe, San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Northridge. FFE has the potential of causing catastrophic losses in the United States, Japan, Canada, New Zealand and other seismically active countries with wood houses. This is the most comprehensive book on FFE and urban conflagrations, providing current state-of-the-practice insight on unique issues such as large diameter flex hose applications by fire and water departments. Water utility engineers, fire fighting professionals, and emergency response planners will benefit from reading this book. This book addresses: History of past fires; Computer modeling of fire spread in the post-earthquake urban environment; Concurrent damage and fire impacts for water, power gas, communication and transportation systems; Examples of reliable water systems built or designed in: San Francisco, Vancouver, Berkeley, and Kyoto; Use of large diameter (5") and ultra large diameter (12") flex hose for fire fighting and water restoration applications; and Cost effectiveness of various FFE mitigation strategies and provides a detailed benefit cost model.

Tadakuni -- As it happens, my primary interest in this sentence has to do with pre-Meiji Japanese history ... most particularly with Daijō-kan (太政官) in Nara and Heian period Japan and briefly under the Meiji Constitution. You helped bring that along to a more usable state.was very troubled when I could find no alternative to confrontation an intractable critic who casually devalued the work you and I put into bringing that article to where it stands today. The issues were never very clearly defined, and in any event they've become stale. What continues to bother me is something a bit removed from gravamen of the article.

I'm going to be a little bit clumsy here, so bear with me. I dislike dignifying this "problem" by mis-labeling it as a scholarly question, but that's how I've framed it. The complaint-maker in this odd story was/is named Bueller 007 and he presented no research or citations to support or explain whatever it was he was vexed about. In contrast, everything I had done was carefully documented ad nauseam. I didn't see then, nor do I see now how bluster and an empty hand trumps a credible research trail. I don't see how or why I was unable to re-frame any dispute in terms of the work that was clearly evidenced in the posted article. I can't see how it could have played out in such a way that I found myself left empty-handed.
