thread_title:  Related Articles 

message: I think making "astrophysics" a subcategory of "astronomy" is inappropriate.  In most astronomy research in the past 100 years, the distinction between "astronomy" and "astrophysics" has been very gray.  The two terms may be used interchangably in modern astrophysics.  May I suggest merging :Category:Astrophysics into this category?  I know it will cause problems, but I think that many of the articles in both this category and the astrophysics category can be subcategorized relatively easily.  (People seem to slap "Category:Astronomy" on anything.) George J. Bendo 18:20, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Astrophysics as a subcategory 

message: Does anyone know how to affect what letter of the alphabet a sub-category appears under in the list?  The astronomical sub-disciplines and astronomy data and publications categories should be placed under 'S' and 'D' respectively to be consistent with the other categories.
I also want to propose a new category for astronomy projects to cover articles such as Galaxy Zoo and XO Project, which don't fall under astronomical surveys and are currently stuck in the root astronomy category.  There are probably other articles that would also fit in this category.  Of course, if anyone can find an existing category that these articles belong in then please move them there.

thread_title:  Moving sub-categories and proposed new category 

message: FYI since this is related to planetary science... I wrote a user essay User:Ikluft/essay/Categorization of craters as a result of some recent CFD category deletion discussions. It collects best practices over the years to avoid recurring confusion among editors over ambiguous use of the word "crater" for impact, volcanic and explosion craters, as well as common errors categorizing sinkholes as craters. Another editor suggested WikiProject Geology was a good place for it. So a discussion is in progress at WikiProject Geology on moving it from my user space to an advice essay of that WikiProject, because such a move should be a result of discussion. If you're interested, please have a look and comment. Ikluft (talk) 23:05, 12 November 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Independent International Commission on Decommissioning

message: Can anyone explain to me what the phrase "put beyond use" means. It sounds like careful parsing or a euphemism.
To me "put beyond use" would mean that they had been destroyed or dismantled in such a way that they could never be used as weapons again. But if they were destroyed why don't they simply say "destroyed," or "dismantled."

thread_title:  Jack Mandani 

message: This article is in need of a history of the use of the term. Current use does not usually include reggae, but rather a varying hybrid of country, bluegrass, folk and rock (or more ambiguously Americana) -- reggae and country are 2 entirely different genres both musically and with regard to their respective historical "roots". The term "roots rock" originated from reggae culture, which is Jamaican. 
To define the term the article is using MSN which in my opinion is borderline acceptable, especially since many of the larger web info gathering sites often reference wikipedia. That would be circular and a high risk for original research. Worse however, for rock history the article is using an anonymous blogger entry (which I just removed as a reference, but did not alter the text) and some guy's geocities page - which currently is still referenced.  - Steve3849 talk 00:15, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Magnetic polarity has nothing to do with the opposite poles attracting each other. Some scientists believe that polar inversion occurs ever 22,000 years; others consider the polarisation to have occured due to solar wind polarity due to obscurences of the solar wind.
In any case, n-s orientation is not defined by their respective position itself, but rather due to the mass of liquid high-pressure metallic content of earth's core and the flow that presents.

This impacts the validity of this article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rfirla (talk • contribs) .
In view of the previous tagging, and the above complaint, I have redone the article. The Arthuriana remains buried in the article history, so if someone wishes to create an article on that, then it is always there, but cross-contamination of fiction and fact (see Talk:List of legendary kings of Britain) should be avoided. Given the total absence of any information on this personage, the article largely deals with the Cenél nGabráin — the kingroup which probably took this Gabrán as their eponymous ancestor. I followed the same route on Loarn of Dalriada, which deals with the Cenél Loairn. When I get around to it, I will do the same for the Comgall of Dalriada and the Cenél Comgaill and Óengus Mór and the Cenél nÓengusa, although there's presently no article to attach that last to.
