[edit] Mile-a-minute Murphy
It might be interesting to mention "mile-a-minute Murphy" here, who went 62 mph (100 kph) in 1899: [1] I'm not sure how notable this is though. --NE2 08:24, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Calories vs kilocalories
The "These are actually kilocalories" statement seems unnecessarily confusing. It would be better to use either "calories" or "kilocalories" correctly or not at all. -AndrewDressel 20:29, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] References needed?
Fram: As you said, this isn't your area of expertise. The type of calculations performed in this article are completely routine back-of-the-envelope analysis that physics students are taught to perform in their first year of college. They're not original research. As for whether this subject could be referenced. Ahem. [2] [3] etc.
This material does need to be shortened, revised for tone and moved though. -- pde 09:33, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
- As I said, I don't mean referencing the formulas (which are indeed routine ones), but the article, the subject matter as an independent field of research. I think you have misread my statement there. But thanks for the references for the subject, they can probably be added to the article (if they are WP:RS soutces). Fram 20:28, 3 February 2007 (UTC)
