Talk:Bonini's paradox

message: The reference to the Valery quotation seems to be incorrect. The aphorism "Ce qui est simple est toujours faux. Ce qui ne l’est pas est inutilisable" cannot be found in the cited lecture. The correct source is: Valéry, Paul: Mauvaises pensées et autres. Collection Blanche, Gallimard, Paris, 1942. An "official" English version is published in: Collected Works of Paul Valéry (translated by Stuart Gilbert), Volume 14, Analects. Princeton University Press, Princeton, NJ, 1970. "A simple statement is bound to be untrue. One that is not simple cannot be utilized." (p. 466)

Template talk:Acari-stub

message: Adding the template, adds to an article the text 'this article about an acari is a stub' ... the word acari (=mites) is plural, and thus, the sentence is obviously grammatically incorrect. I would propose 'this article about a mite is a stub' or '...about mites is a stub'. Kaarel 13:36, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
Talk:Panic alarm

message: I beleive that the name Panic alarmor some other generalized page name would be better suited for this article. While panic button alarm is basically the same as panic alarm, I believe it would simplify searches with a possible redirect of the old name. The scope of this article has also expanded to include alarms that do not include a physical button for activation.

replies: text: Ø8 days to object on an obscure article such as this one seems a bit rushed to me.  ¿How are you going to intergrate the aricle? It might seem simple, ut the "alarm" and the "btton" are not the same thing- The concept of "panic alarm" id any alarm system, including one rigged to an alterative acvtivation system (such as an emergancy exit); A "panic button" as most commonly applied means a button on a fixed system (such as a personal defense system, bank teller alarm, etc), so that an emergancy exit would not apply. It's a deceptively simple idea, and deserves consideration.65.102.19.175 (talk) 15:46, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Paradox of the plankton

message: I am no biologist and I have some difficulty in understanding the use of the word "paradox" when comparing two experiments conducted in environmental conditions that seem to be very different. In Gause's experiment it seems that the system is closed and the two bacterial species do not only have to fight for food, but also for space. Just the simple fact that any organism occupies some volume in space should indicate that reproduction is constrained not only by the available nutritional resources but also by the available "free space". If saturation constrains chemical reactions, why should this not be true for biological ones? On the other hand, in the Ocean there is no space limitation. Could anybody please explain in detail the conditions of Gause's experiment? Thanks.--Marcellot (talk) 12:47, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

#:Pass/Fail: 
A very well written article! I few concerns, however, before I pass the article:
#All one-two sentence paragraphs should be either expanded or merged with surrounding paragraphs. The exception to this is the "introduction" to "Relationship with humans." 
#I think that there's a fair amount of overlinking, both per WP:CONTEXT and the fact that the same terms are sometimes re-linked in rapid succession. I realize that, given the subject of the article, some things that normally wouldn't be linked need to be, but I think the linking could stand some trimming. The most egregious example that I could find was "rock" under "Distribution and habitat," but there are more that I'll leave to your discretion to clean up per WP:CONTEXT.  - Removed all useless links, but i have kept some links from the intro in the body of text. This is to save readers from scrolling back up once they are down to the biology or fisheries section. Let me know if you would like more of these culled, but i think its ok now.
#"These methods have been popularised by a number of fishing journalists and television presenters, including Steve Starling and Kaj Bush who brought attention to luring various species of bream during the mid 1990s on Rex Hunt's Fishing Adventures." (Recreational fishery) requires a citation.  Can not remember where i read that, in any case it is very trivial so  i have removed those remarks.
#Ref #17 is broken. Ref #28 crashed my computer and forced me to retype this entire review, not that I think you can do anything about that though.  Ref 17 has proper DOI, Ref 28 crashed because its Victorian... no seriously it works for me, you must have got unlucky (it happens to me occasionally as well).
This review was slightly longer the first time, so I may have missed some clarifying points, although I believe that I hit all my concerns. If something is unclear, please let me know and I will expand further. Anyhow, to allow for these changes to be made, I am putting the article on hold for a period of up to seven days, after which it may be failed without further notice. Thank you for your work thus far. Cheers, CP 04:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Thank you BillCJ and AKRadecki!  The images are in fact our (Airship Management's) property, and, contrary to what I've been told about our articles, we have NOT posted for promotional purposes but purely informational.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedic source, and who better to post information about our airships, and our operations, than us?  However, the powers that be have decided that the articles and images should be deleted.  I guess we will have to wait until someone else posts about our company, our Skyship type airships (largest in the world) and the many platforms for which the airships have been used.

text: I do not think that merging is a good thing to do in this case because the MTR still has its historical value of being the predecessor of the new railway corporation. Topics like "network" or "future development" can be moved to this new article while information about the history of MTR remain in the MTR article. And yes, the new corporation would still be called MTR Corporation in English. So I would rather suggest renaming the current MTR article to something like "MTR (pre-2007)" or "MTR (pre-merger)", and rename this article to MTR. --:Raphaelmak: [talk] [contribs] 13:14, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: The opening line should be 'Modern Philosophy is a branch of Philosophy that originated in...'. Stating the origin of Modern Philosophy straight up doesn't make sense. It's like asking what a bakery is and being told 'The bakery originated in South-East Asia' (not a correct fact), it shouldn't be the first information conveyed. Stating what a bakery is (ie. a place where things are baked) before moving onto it's finer details is more appropriate. Same applies with Modern Philosophy.
