Talk:Lists of communes of France

message: I think we should change the formatting of each page listing the communes of a particular département. At the moment they are in the form of a list, with each of the three columns only marginally seperated. I think it'd be better if we transfer them to tables which would allow us to more easily play with the format (cell and table widths, presence of lines and borders and colours). We should also include two further columns: population and area. Does anyone know where I may get this information? Also, it is quite a large task, don't wait for me to start if you wish to. --Oldak Quill 20:00, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:OK I have seen the main page ; thanks !
I removed the bit about using Mk262Mod1 -- aside from heavier (additional stopping power), I can't understand why a match round would be used in a dedicated CQC firearm -- and naturally the 262Mod0 is unacceptable due to the lack of cannelure.

message: I understand, that Finland played the last game against the gold medallist and because of this some people think that Finland is the silver medallist. But facts are facts. USA got gold, USSR got silver, Sweden got bronze, Finland was fourth. 
The point is that the competition system in the medal round was round-robin, not play-offs. USA won 4-3 over USSR, tied 2-2 with Sweden and won 4-2 over Finland. USSR lost 3-4 to USA, won 9-2 over Sweden and won 4-2 over Finland. Sweden tied 3-3 with Finland, lost 2-9 to the USSR and tied 2-2 with the USA. Finland's "perfect" scores you can see above.

#USA 5pts

Talk:Basilosaurus

message: If Halrlan agreed with Owens that the genus should be renamed Zeuglodon why isn't this page named zeuglodon.

replies: text: Except that, by the time Harlan brought his specimens to Owen, he had already named it Basilosaurus, and his and Owen's attempt to rename it as "Zeuglodon" was considered invalid because giving an inaccurate name is, in taxonomy, not a valid justification for take-backs.  I mean, you are aware that, in taxonomy, the oldest valid name takes precedence, and that having new information that makes the oldest valid name inaccurate or erroneous does not count as a reason to invalidate it, right?--Mr Fink (talk) 03:01, 29 December 2019 (UTC)

message: The articles did overlap and a merge was necessary. Private Spaceflight was indeed better developed and more organized. 
However, as "NewSpace" is a much more popular terminology both on internet in academic research I am suggesting moving this page to NewSpace instead of "Private Spaceflight".

* Google Trend "Private spaceflight" vs NewSpace vs alt.space
* Google Scholar Private Spaceflight (806 results) vs NewSpace (2000 results)
* On site nasa.gov "private spaceflight" (101) vs NewSpace (327)

Talk:United States Electoral College/Archive 3

message: Can anyone explain who they are and how they get the job - maybe a real name example?
: First, sign your comments/questions so it isn't so cold and anonymous.  Second, there is no federal law about how to select electors.  So, the states do it however they like.  Most states have a state party convention select them.  A few have a state party committee select them.  I'm in South Carolina, so I can give you an example from here.  It is a mostly Republican state and will likely vote Republican.  Assuming it does, the state's Republican party will get 8 trusted Republicans to go to Washington DC and vote Republican.  By state law, if they decide to vote for someone like Nader or Homer Simpson, they will be prosecuted.  Because they are acting in a robotic way - just going through the motions they are required by law to go through - it doesn't matter if it is me or the guy who lives under the bridge by the interstate who votes.  So, they don't make a big deal out of advertising the names of each elector. Kainaw 13:02, 28 Oct 2004 (UTC)
