message: The styles used officially in Norway are majestet (Majesty) and kongelig høyhet (Royal Highness) only. Styles such as høyhet (Highness) or eksellense (Excellence) do not exist. Junior members of the royal family, including the king's sisters, the crown prince's sister, or his younger children, do not hold any styles at all. Occasionally some of them may be referred to as "Highness" by foreigners merely by courtesy or assumption or pretence, but this style has no legal basis in Norway and they are not "official holders of the style Highness".

Talk:Monthly meeting

message: I'm not sure the right way to address this (or I would have already tried to fix it), but it seems to me that we need a better way of handling the discussion of Monthly Meeting vs. Friends Church.  To me currently this article feels like we're biasing it toward the unprogrammed tradition unintentionally.

message: Dear editors, I recently started a draft on 'Quaker decision-making': User:Douginamug/Draft:Quaker_decision-making and I would like to know if it affects/is affected by this article. My motivation for the draft was the (apparent) absence of an independent article on the topic, given the great importance it has in Quaker organization, and the significant influence it has had in the development of Consensus and Sociocracy. After searching harder, I realize that this article, and Clerk (Quaker) are somewhat overlapping in content. What are your thoughts? Best, DougInAMugtalk 22:04, 13 September 2020 (UTC)

Talk:LaPorte County, Indiana

message: Material has been added three times by IP(s), reverted three times by two different editors, that Cook county, Illinois is adjacent to La Porte County. This is fundamentally untrue. In one of the edit summaries adding the material, the editor said that:
Cook county, Illinois can be viewed from Lake Michigan in Michigan city. You can see on the berrien county Page that is says the same thing
In the original reversion I made, I pointed out that:
Cook county is not an adjacent county. The reason Cook county is adjacent to Berrien county is that they share a water boundary on Lake Michigan. La Porte county does not share a water boundary with Illinois

Talk:Westville, Indiana

message: I live and work in NW Indiana, traveling to many towns and cities within its perceived area, and I cannot honestly say that I have heard the area being referred to as "The Region".  Is this an archaic reference that has fallen out of use somewhat?  Seeing as I do not live in Westville and do not have specific knowledge of how Westville residents describe their geographic location, I have kept the reference in the leading statement on an edit I made today, and have blue linked it appropriately to the NW Indiana article to add some clarity.Bennycat (talk) 17:34, 10 January 2011 (UTC)

message: The population numbers are not accurate. The town has maybe 2000+ people and the Westville correctional center (prison) has roughly 3000+ inmates.

Talk:Vicious Circle

message: I don't think the true definition of a vicious circle is described in any of these (maybe the economics article, but that's a bit specific). First of all, I believe a vicious circle and circular logic are fundamentaly different. And I'd describe a vicious circle as negative feedback loop, rather than a positive one. More importantly, the definition of a feedback loop isn't very clear in the feedback article, expecially for someone looking for the definiton of vicious circle. I would describe it along the lines of " a situation that gets increasingly and exponentially worse because of a negative feedback loop" with an example of interest payments increasing your debt, which increases your debt, etc.
See the About.com definitons for more: http://www.answers.com/vicious%20circle
Risk one 00:19, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with you completely that vicious circles and circular logic are distinct. This needs to be changed. I disagree that vicious circles are negative feedback because vicious circles make situations worse, but the positive or negative in the context of feedback loop refers to the direction that the quantity is being changed. Vicious circles get worse and worse, hence each iteration sends the situation further and further into bad, hence it is a positive coefficient. Also, I don't think the situation has to necessarily get worse at an exponential rate, it only has to avoid equilibrium. I propose, "a situation that gets increasingly worse in a divergent fashion." --Philip Ross 11:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Highland, Lake County, Indiana

message: The "Deluge of 2006" is becoming old hat. Highland, like the other towns along the Little Calumet River, has had a history of flooding every now and then. Youngsters residing in town might not realize this, but the 2006 flood is nothing new, and not really all that remarkable as floods go. Unless someone has an objection, I plan in the near future to condense this material into a more relevant nugget and put it into the History section, in the context of other past floods.

replies: text: Yes, at least the areas near the Little Calumet River have. The real old-timers may remember back into the '50's and '40's when there were regular and serious floods, not only in Highland, but in nearby areas of Munster, Hammond, Lansing, etc. These tended to be abated because of work done in the '60's, but, remember, the entire river area was a swamp 150 years ago.

I don't think that any research is done at CIRM, unlike all of the other stem cell institutes that are listed on this Wikipedia page. The history section here is mostly a deep dive into CIRM's first couple of years, which I guess were controversial, and a listing of a couple of programs that it has funded (not sure why those were selected) without clearly explaining what it does (fund research and create policy). Is it ok to add some background that's a little more of an overview?
