Talk:Olefin

message: Shouldn't this be merged into alkene? /The Phoenix 08:24, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: What? Alkenes are a class of compounds. Furthermore, this article says that olefin is a synonym of alkene, and Alkene says that alkenes are also called olefins. So everything is in agreement that these are exactly the same thing, except you. —Keenan Pepper 21:17, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

text: No, it's not "up to us wikipedians to specify" anything. That would violate WP:NOR. It's up to us Wikipedians to find published, verifiable sources. My source is the Shorter Oxford English Dictionary, which in the entry for olefin says "= ALKENE". It actually uses an equals sign. What's your source? —Keenan Pepper 00:29, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

message: This should definitely go to alkene; it would seem to me, in the absence of any sources to the contrary from V8rik, that alpha-olefins are merely a small subset of olefins. --Scott Wilson 10:36, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: [[WP:3O|Third opinion]]

message: According to IUPAC definition, olefins are a more general term than alkenes (https://goldbook.iupac.org/terms/view/O04281). Alkenes, cycloalkenes, polyenes (all cyclic and acyclic hydrocarbons with one or more double bonds) are all refer to the olefins. So it would be more correct to refuse redirection of the page Olefins to Alkenes and give for olefins the correct definition.  ChemEdit (talk) 22:29, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

message: If it improves the article (and is permissible) to provide greater detail about the "newspaper articles" on the album's back cover and the album's credits, I'd be glad to do that. I could also provide a scan of the back of the album and/or of either of the photos on it (both of Julie Brown: one with her and the dead Homecoming Queen, the other of her wearing a tiara). Oh, and I thought I should mention that I reproduced the capitalization of the song tracks as shown on the album itself (so the irregularity is intentional, lol). Tadiew 05:50, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Trimetric projection

message: Weren't Fallout 1 & 2 trimetric already? Neither the top and bottom nor the left and right corners of its tiles line up straight. The tiles are definitely not isometric qua definition nor do they look dimetric, so trimetry is the only logical explanation.
Fallout 1 came out around 1997 and thus predates SimCity 4000 by several years. This would make trimetry look a lot less "innovative" and (technologically) "high-end" than the article makes it sound. -- Ashmodai 08:39, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Culture shock

message: It would be helpful to rearrange some portions of the text in order to improve readability and clarity. For example, giving readers a short summary of the key ideas and implications of culture shock in the beginning might make the subject matter easier for them to understand. Furthermore, further details regarding each of the four stages of the Oberg's four phases model might be included for a deeper comprehension even if they are introduced. The "Reverse culture shock" section might benefit from further detail about the difficulties encountered while returning to one's native culture. Additionally, the results of the adjustment phase may be summarized more clearly, and a clear link to culture shock in the "Transition shock" section would be beneficial. All things considered, strengthening the article's organization and delving further into particular facets of culture shock can increase both its thoroughness and reader interest.

message: This entry was given a nomination for deletion (originally a speedy deletion nomination) by an unregistered user whose only contribution was that nomination (and a nomination for deletion of Starbooty. The film series is an iconic and well known part of the history of under ground GLBT culture, and it featured a number of people who went on to be celebrities both in and out of that culture. It was also the precursor to a higher budget film which won numerous awards at film festivals. The nomination for deletion was spurious and nonsensical; the very content of the article gives credence to the notability of the film series. TheGoonSquad 19:05, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article was not nominated for speedy deletion, as you say.  Kindly cite sources to back up your contention that this film is "iconic" and "well known."  This film is known in queer culture, but not beyond it.  To what film do you refer which won "numerous awards" at film festivals?   Does that film have an article here at WP?  Were these "festivals" only gay festivals?  The nom was neither spurious nor nonsensical: the summary for cause was accurate, and you are within your rights to remove it.  However, if I were you I would devote some time to referencing the article to remove any doubts among well-intentioned Wikipedians.

message: There is nothing in this article that describes their mating proccess. They lay their eggs in their burrow, yeah, but do they mate as usual, do they kill their mate after mating, and stuff like that? Does anyone know anything about their mating habits? It'd be better to add something like "The mating habits aren't well known do to the mysteriousness of the trapdoor spider, but we do know they lay their eggs in their burrows for protection." or something along those lines.
As to the above, funnel-web spiders.... sound like they use a web. The trapdoor spider uses a burrow instead of the traditional web, right? So maybe that's the difference. I'm not sure, I haven't read much on the funnel-webbers. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.118.121.189 (talk) 19:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

Otherwise we can assume just by looking at the item that it indeed was sold in stores considering it has a legitimate barcode. I don't know the Wikipedia policy on items like this.

When I first moved to the Annapolis, MD area I was in a small record shop in Parole, somewhere between 1978 and 1979.  As I was walking out a cassette tape caught my eye:  it was "Happy Trails," and I burst out laughing because some idiot, probably some late-70s high-school stoner that didn't know his musical history, had put it in the Country & Western bin!
