Talk:EMedicine

message: Interested parties should be aware of and refer to the discussion on Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/EMedicine.
I personally feel that this page should be moved to eMedicine.com and that this page be retained as a disambiguation page; probably with introductory content to assist in directing users to more detailed content on related pages dealing with what is often called colloquially as e-Medicine, i-medicine, e-Health, etc.  Also as others have noted, there are 19 other languages linked to this page, so care needs to be made (in case of a page relocation) to ensure that this other language links are adjusted if, and as, appropriate.

Talk:Uropeltidae

message: Regarding the use of common names in the text, there are good reasons to avoid this practice. First, articles like these are monographs: the entire text is dedicated to a single subject. Therefore, it's unnecessary to repeat the (common) name of the subject in the text -- the reader already knows that's what it's about already. Second, which common name do you use? In this case it could be shield-tailed snakes or pipe snakes. Or perhaps earth snakes. If you alternate, there's the danger that some readers will become confused. If you stick with one, some readers may take offense and want another name be used instead. This often leads to pointless edit wars. It is therefore a better strategy to stay neutral (politically correct) by not using any common names in the text. However, while unnecessary, if you must start off every other a sentence with a noun, there are many neutral terms that can be used here instead, such as uropeltids, serpents, snakes, squamatids, reptiles, and animals. --Jwinius 22:11, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Mount Tabor (1799)

message: The lead seems to be misleading: a) Abdullah wasn't governor of Damascus throughout 1799, and there's no source given, so maybe it's a case of faulty "own research". b) One can understand that Abdullah was in the field by himself, commanding the troops, but I don't think he was - who commanded the troops? c) Any details about the composition of the army? Ottomans employed various troops, professional Janissaries, Sipahis, and various local troops - Arabs, Bedouin, Arnauts, etc. Arminden (talk) 17:59, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Astrakhan Khanate

message: Judging by the definitions of qara given in the article it's not much of a logical leap to assume they meant something along the lines of "the masses". When we say "the masses" we don't refer to the entire population including aristocrats, we refer to the majority of the population who are ordinary working class, or peasants in the Golden Horde's case, the Golden Horde probably made the same natural distinction when saying "the great multitudes of people".81.152.200.124 (talk) 15:52, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander Guagnini

message: P.S. A jak niema to tutaj jest google cache, gduz keszu nici, to masz kawalek:
:"Guagnini most probably wasn’t the real author of „Description of European Sarmatia”. When he served as a captain of a cavalry unit in Vitsiebsk in White Russia he stole the manuscript of the work from his Polish subordinate, Maciej Stryjkowski. Stryjkowski protested violently and even appealed to the king for recognition of his authorship, presenting as his witnesses Stanislaw Pac and numerous Lithuanian noblemen. The king recognized Stryjkowski’s claim in a charter proclaimed on July 14th 1580. In spite of this, the work continued to be printed under Guagnini’s name and in 1611 its Polish translation was published in Cracow!"

Talk:Tom Wood

message: The reason that red ink may appear on a disambiguation page is that people may be mentioned and red inked in other articles, perfectly notable individuals, but currently without articles.  For example the Tom Woods who is a horticulturalist is a winner of the Victoria Metal and these two articles link to him: Hedychium coccineum and Victoria Medal (horticulture).  Since we frequently have articles linking to the wrong person, disambiguation pages are a way to straighten that out.  I have not checked the notability of all the entries on this page, but you should at least look at what links here for the red ink ones before removing. --Bejnar 23:42, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pictures forth coming 

message: I see that strontium sulfate as listed as a raw material for making strontium carbonate, by reaction with a water-soluble carbonate.  Surely that's not too practicable, bearing in mind the low solubility of SrSO4?  Wouldn't the reaction have to be done under such dilute conditions so it's not worth it?  Or is it reduced to the sulfide by roasting with carbon first? Walkerma 04:32, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No it is not made from solution chemistry.  I may rewrite that to make it clear.  Because Strontium occurs naturally in the Sulfate form it is easier to use a process to form Carbonates since they tend to be more useful than the sulfates.  LoyalSoldier 22:37, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fire lookout

message: There are merge tags on fire lookout and fire lookout tower so I am adding this discussion area.
My personal opinion on merging:  IIRC, the two were originally one article but were split into two because fire lookout refers to the job, fire lookout tower refers to the structure.  I don't have a strong opinion either way - probably oppose merge by default and to give the user who worked hard on these fire lookout articles the benefit of the doubt.  That is to say I don't see any compelling reason to merge the two.  I'm open to being convinced. Dragomiloff 01:41, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge?

message: This article overlooks - except in the American experience - the role of fire lookout networks in WWII as an air raid precaution, the only Briton mentioned on the list of Notable fire watchers being Margaret Thatcher (when yet to enter politics).
