message: The article currently says:
:Between Minden and the North Sea, it has largely been canalised, permitting ships of up to 1,200 tons to navigate it. Eight hydroelectric dams are located along its length. Further downstream, it is linked to the Dortmund-Ems Canal via the Küstenkanal, and another canal links it at Bremerhaven to the Elbe River.
It is not entirely clear what the further downstream is further downstream of. From the text, it could be either the stretch of the river between Minden and the North Sea, or it could be its length (ie. the whole river). Both these readings fail the common sense test. So what was meant?. -- Starbois (talk) 10:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Magic Roundabout (Hemel Hempstead)

message: "after the opening the driver of an articulated lorry failed to understand the new junction so tried to

replies: text: sorry to only just reply to this now ... source is me, or rather seeing the resultant lorry stuck in the middle (not the attempt to get across) as I lived nearby when it was built.

message: The whole 'river' section has got way oversized and detailed about things nothing to do with the actual article concerned; ideally if it is to exist at all it needs to be on the Roundabout article instead. I've also never seen a source cited for the "widely believed" statement anyway (I used to live there and am still in the area and I've never met anyone anywhere who doesn't realise *lots* of roundabouts have rivers through them!) so it shouldn't be there for that reason either. --AlisonW (talk) 17:39, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I have no idea how to incorporate this into the page, I'm not a wikipedia contributor and only logged here to upload it.

message: Listen to the insistent thread in this text, consciously trivializing Greek myth:
:Apollo chased the nymph Daphne, daughter of Ladon, who had scorned him. His infatuation was caused by an arrow from Eros, who was jealous because Apollo had made fun of his archery skills. Eros also claimed to be irritated by Apollo's singing. Daphne prayed to the river god Peneus to help her and he changed her into a laurel tree, which became sacred to Apollo.

Talk:Oviposition

message: :A major issue for human health is the prevention of oviposition by malaria-bearing anopheles mosquitos. Suggested methods include using floating plants to cover the surface of bodies of stagnant water[2].
There's something wrong with that... The malaria spreads between successive people bitten by the same adult mosquito, but the mosquito eggs are clean. One approach to eliminating human malaria is to eliminate the carrier species of mosquito (regardless of whether the individual mosquito is currently bearing the parasite or not), but there are many alternatives (such as bednets to prevent the mosquitos acquiring the parasite from the people bedridden with it). And one approach to reducing that mosquito population is to disrupt the oviposition, but there are certainly alternatives (a particularly revolutionary one is a strain of mosquito with healthy males but flightless females, with the potential to eradicate the species in the same way as an outbreak of vampirism/zombies). So to specifically identify "prevention of oviposition" as "a major issue for human health" is overstating the significance of one approach among many. Cesiumfrog (talk) 00:25, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:A. B. Rogers

message: I believe it is inaccurate to say that he had only "observed it from a distance" in 1881 - his journals make it clear that they made it all the way to the continental divide in 1881.  It is true that he was unable to traverse to the other side, but from their high vantage point on 29 May they could see that the pass must exist. Newspapers also reported the discovery of the pass prior to his return the next year. Fawcett5 16:47, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In my reading, in 1881, he looked down upon the meadow at the pass from a nearby mountain just west of the pass (likely from only a mile or two from the pass).  In 1882, he approached the pass from the eastern side and got to the meadow he had seen the previous year.  Some would say that he only discovered the pass after he explored both sides (ie 1882) - others would say that he discovered it in 1881 and confirmed it in 1882.  Al guy 23:03, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
My interpretation is that he discovered the pass in 1881, and only confirmed its suitability for a railway in 1882. Berton tries to have it both ways in his book. Fawcett5 23:07, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Reverse rotation effect

message: "Reverse rotation of wheels usually only occurs in film recording (for television or cinema)." I dispute that, or is it just me that it affects? --Thomas 16:57, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: Dear Alex,
Gidday! How are you?
I see you integrated my Wikipedia entry for the Wagon-wheel effect into the entry for Reverse rotation effect.  I've never been sure how to send you a message via Wikipedia, but here goes. I'm going to give you four reasons that I hope will persuade you to undo the change:
First, "reverse rotation effect" is essentially unknown in the scientific literature. I searched for it in PsycINFO, Medline, and Science Citation Index and did not find a single instance. The same search for "wagon wheel effect" yielded 4, 3, and 6 references respectively.
Second, if you exclude hits for the Wikipedia article and its copies, a Google search for "reverse rotation effect" yielded fewer hits than for "wagon wheel effect".
Third, "reverse rotation effect" is subordinate category of the wagon wheel effect, rather than vice versa. That is, a wagon wheel, or any rotating object, can appear to rotate in the reverse direction from its real rotation, it can appear to be stationary, or it can appear to rotate in the same direction as its real rotation but more slowly, whereas a reverse rotation effect can be only the first of these possibilities. In order from most general to most specific we could have:
1. Alaising
	1.1 Spatial aliasing
	1.2 Temporal aliasing
		1.2.1 Apparent movement (also known as stroboscopic movement) 
		1.2.2 Stroboscopic effects
			1.2.2.1 The WWE
				1.2.2.1.1 RRE
				1.2.2.1.2 Illusory stationarity
				1.2.2.1.2 Slow rotation
Fourth (and this is the only reason involving naked self interest!), the entry for Reverse rotation effect was pretty minimal and poorly written prior to your bringing in my sparking prose. But the history of that entry makes it hard to find my input. As an academic, I care about correct attribution; a reversion would restore it.
Have I convinced you?
