Talk:Conservative coalition

message: Should point out that it was an informal ad hoc coalition.  It had no formal organization.  Also, many conservative Democrats, like Strom Thurmond and John Connally, moved to the Republicans, and some conservative southern Democrats remain in the party.  --The Four Deuces (talk) 09:29, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: "Together with Northeast Republicans"? 
This is wrong. The conservatives in the republican party were just as for the civil rights acts as anyone. This was a major issue that divided the 'conservative coalition'. Southern Democrats were for segregation, many (not all) conservative republicans were for desegregation. Robert Taft himself was for civil rights.

Talk:Moneylender

message: I see that at some time past the title of this article has changed from Home Credit to Moneylender. This change has been made by someone who has no knowledge of the UK business of small loans that are collected, normally weekly from customers homes by an agent.
The contents of this article does not describe the general subject of moneylending, but rather the niche product called home credit. Most UK moneylending is done through financial institutions, and usually repaid on a monthly basis through payments using the bank clearing system.
Unless there are objections, the title should be changed. In addition a new article should be started giving information on moneylending in general.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bowday (talk • contribs) 14:50, 5 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Title "Home Credit"

message: I noticed that some people have used the term moneylenders as a synonym for money changers, perhaps in an antisemitic sense, as a reference to Jesus and the money changers.  ADM (talk) 03:46, 16 June 2009 (UTC)

There are other less bureaucratic ways to demonstrate that the community hasn't been able to resolve a dispute. -- Cat chi? 20:19, 23 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  There may be some confusion, on my or on others' parts.  RfCs are intended to be a request for comment, and an attempt to determine, qualitatively, the community's consensus.  The act of discussion and of determining consensus cannot, by itself, resolve disputes.  Resolving disputes via the RfC process requires well-meaning people to realise that the community is in support or in opposition to their position, and to act accordingly; and it requires others to attempt to enforce the apparent consensus by social pressures, possibly including blocks.  That said, most issues on Wikipedia are so polarised that consensus is not easily determined.  But I don't think that is always the case, and thus I think RfCs are still occasionally beneficial.  Does that make sense?  (Especially that RfCs are not meant to resolve disputes, but are meant to be a method by which to determine consensus?)  --Iamunknown 20:39, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: There are three methods I've read about to calculate growing degree days.  None of them use the method listed here.
I think the calculation should be to find the average of max and min and subtract the base temperature.  If that number is negative, then GDD = 0. Otherwise that number is GDD.  The method listed here (if Tmin or Tmax is below Tbase, set them to Tbase) would over estimate GDD.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.75.226 (talk) 23:29, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incorrect calculation 

message: The growing degree days listed for corn (maize) appear to be Farenheit degree days.  I suspect that the same is true for other plants listed in the chart.  This is confusing since the calculation example which preceeds the chart is specifically in degrees centigrade.  I did a quick rough calculation and there are about 3800 growing-degree days F during the average year in southern Indiana.  This is roughly equal to 2100 growing-degree days C.  Since the chart indicates that 2700 GDD are required for corn to mature this must be a GDD F.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Paul Ford (talk • contribs) 14:15, 20 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Nancy Kopp

message: A new section on Kopp's tenure as state treasurer has three paragraphs on (only) a recent controversy about the toll lanes on the I-270 and I-495 beltway, which take up about half the article space. This clearly appears as undue weight given to a single issue, and does more to shine a negative light on the governor than provide information about Kopp. As such, I believe this section should be greatly trimmed or even removed.  Agreement? Different opinions? —ADavidB 23:04, 23 May 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The original poster of the section has edited it to better show relevance to Kopp, and I've made additional revisions. Kopp has been Treasurer since 2002; one would hope she's had more notable activity than being absent during a planned meeting on a controversial subject. This article needs to be updated to show that activity. —ADavidB 03:12, 25 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Advanced maternal age

message: I removed that section. Apart from using this article to push a WP:POV, and apart from the fact that it does not belong in this article (which is about the biological effect of the advanced maternal age - ie. about the medical concept of advanced maternal age- not about socioeconomic factors of motherhood), it was also misrepresenting the study: The study reads:
:The postponement of first childbirth is strongly linked to the increasing involvement of women in paid work, but with opposite effects in the two countries. Even if we control for changes in women’s levels of education over time and for shifts in women’s aspirations and levels of attainment in the labour market, we find that being employed remains a risk factor for the postponement of the first birth among Italian women, and a strong protective factor among Hungarian women. 
The study basically says that involvement in the workforce has opposite effects on women in Italy compared to  Hungary. 86.123.34.109 (talk) 16:13, 7 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I removed the language discussing trumpet-style interchanges because I found this page which indicates that, at least at the KY 44 interchange in Shepherdsville, the interchange & tollbooth were of the pseudo-cloverleaf (or folded diamond) design common on later Kentucky turnpikes -- that is, all exit & entrance ramps fold back under the overpass where the toll plaza was located, so that all turnpike traffic (thru, entering or leaving) went thru the toll plaza. The only other toll plazas were at the ends of the turnpike (Louisville & Elizabethtown) and were most likely mainline-only. --RBBrittain (talk) 08:14, 7 March 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Benthos

message: "NPOV Dispute: Benthic Communities at Risk" This section does not have any citations and simply talks about some vague risk of mining for undisclosed minerals on hydrothermal vents.  I'm fairly certain this is actually referring methane mining on cold seeps, and while there is cause for legitimate concern for the implicaitons with this, the section seems biased (in that the entirety of the sections is about why one potential issue is terrible) and lacks any sort of scientific basis for concern. Also, seeing as any part of the ocean floor can be a benthic community, and the type of mining and people interested (again, I'm assuming oil companies who wan't to mine cold seeps) in question aren't specified, the argument is heavily generalized.  This section is important, but the content really does not do justice for environmental concerns.  Perhaps this is a better place to discuss more prominent concerns for benthic communities such as ocean acidification, effects of climate change, overfishing, and eutrophication (which is shown in an image but not explained?).
