Talk:Ian Plimer

message: I think that page is extremely useful. What is wrong with the "highly respected source" Climate Feedback ? Why is it "not compliant with WP:BLPSPS"? --Hob Gadling (talk) 15:32, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: RSP: "Climate Feedback is a fact-checking website that is considered generally reliable for topics related to climate change. It discloses its methodologies and has been endorsed by other reliable sources. Most editors do not consider Climate Feedback a self-published source due to its high reviewer requirements." I'm also pretty sure that Peter Gulutzan, the editor who removed the content, knows perfectly well that Climate Feedback is a RS, as he has a history of trying to unsuccessfully scrub this source all across Wikipedia, and is aware that the RS noticeboard considers it reliable. This is tendentious fringe editing. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:38, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Snooganssnoogans's statements are about whether the source meets RS and not about whether it meets BLPSPS. The quote from WP:RSP is valueless because that is an essay-class page with a dubious statement, as I have explained elsewhere. And my other objection that the cite is unnecessary has not been addressed. Peter Gulutzan (talk) 22:20, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Brake assist

message: Am I the only person who sees a problem with technology like this? First of all, I think instead of aiding bad drivers, we should take them off the road. If someone can't drive, why have a machine help them? Yeah, this could save lives, but why not just prevent it in the first place. The highways are already overcrowded and we could solve that by taking bad drivers off the road. Secondly, what if this technology fails, and the car slams on the breaks in the middle of the highway for no reason. Has anyone seen the backup sensors on new cars? Ever see one malfunction and beep all the time? I have, and that would not be good for an automatic breaking system. I don't want a car randomly breaking on the highway and causing huge accidents.

message: I don't understand what "pre-tensioning the brakes" or "pre-charge the brakes" mean. Why are they not "tensioned" or "charged" all the time? Also, if anybody have information like surveys of what people think of the system in practice and if one ever notices the system outside emergency situations etc that would be interesting. The whole technology sounds a little bit weird to me.   -- LM 2010-01-06  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 118.173.131.195 (talk) 05:58, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Let me see if I can help explain. Typical power brake boosters work off engine vacuum, vacuum pump, or some similar method -- producing maximum power boost could be what their referring to, which would (logically) occur at maximum engine vacuum -- typically slightly above idle speed. I didn't find any technical explanation of the system and the article fails to cite one, so I'm only going off a few deductions. If it uses an external boosting system, such as electronic solenoids, it may remove freeplay and insert additional boost-force during a presumed "emergency" situation where a brake application is made, and apply full-brake force if only partial pedal-force is applied. 184.153.196.39 (talk) 00:28, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

The result of the move request was: Move to Green lane (road).  No consensus among three participants, but also no evidence or even indication that the type of road is the primary topic for "green lane"; anyone looking for any of the "Green Lane" topics listed on the dab page is highly likely to enter just "green lane" into the Search box, and they should be taken to the dab page, not here.

Talk:United States anti-abortion movement/Archive 2

message: It seems to me that this section is somewhat redundant with Pro-choice#Term controversy, and, to boot, is a good deal less complete than that one.  What if we merged both these sections into a new article: Abortion terms controversy? --BCSWowbagger 22:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think a new article is warranted. The issue is that instead of having one article to cover both sides (such as Gun politics instead of Gun controll and Gun rights which both redirect to the former), we have two different articles that at times are going to cover redundent information. I think for these parallel section, we should try to use as close to verbatim phrasing as possible in order to avoid introducing bias and POV in either article. However, if we are going to keep the two articles seperate, I feel we should comment to some extent on the term controversy (but again, I don't think there is enough to be said that takes up too much room, thus necessitating a spinout article).--Andrew c 22:32, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: At present, "Adventures of Pinocchio" redirects to "Pinocchio", which is an article about the character "Pinocchio". I think "Adventures of Pinocchio" would be better redirected to "The Adventures of Pinocchio", which is an article about the Carlo Collodi novel.

The county structure in Surrey has been a little out of whack since the CCL absorbed the Surrey Senior League a few years ago.  Unfortunately the relationship between the CCL and the two Surrey level 11 leagues (SCILW and SSEC) is, like much of the lower pyramid, probably informal, but in practice they are direct feeders. --Balerion 10:34, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Rubiaceae

message: I see an image of a plant with four petalled pinkish flowers labled Pentas lanceolata in the article. But this page says Pentas lanceolata is five petalled and 'Pentas' in the name justifies just that. Most probably this is Ixora coccinea. I am not an expert at this, so somebody please confirm and make the correction. The image name might also needs to be changed in the commons.  ~ srini 15:10, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mistake? 

message: I reverted the edits that changed "more than 13,000 species" to "more than 13,443 species" along with the reference, which does not directly state any number of species. Even if it is possible use that reference to generate a species list and count them manually, there is no reason to believe that the count is complete and contains no duplicates and no subspecies, varieties, forms, and cultivars, especially ones that this database may call species but other authorities may consider duplicate names or subspecies, varieties, forms or cultivars. Also, the definition of species is fuzzy, especially among plants, which can often hybridize within and across genera, so when the species count is over 13,000, exact species numbers are likely to be a matter of opinion, and Wikipedia should use words like "more than" with a round number, rather than an exact number, unless there is strong reason to believe that a species count is complete and contains no duplicates and no entities of taxonomic rank lower than species. Also, there was an improper space before <ref>. Anomalocaris (talk) 05:29, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Not all language articles are called "X language" for one thing, and in some cases Wikipedia's name for the language may be different from Ethnologue's name, in which case people might want to use a different name in the template. —Angr 19:39, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
