Talk:Datisca

message: It wasn't clear to me whether to combine the articles for Datiscaceae and Datisca or keep them separate.  Normally, if there is only one genus in a family, we combine the articles, but the fact that some authorities put that Tetrameles and Octomeles in Datiscaceae makes me somewhat less certain.
If someone thinks we should move the Datisca paragraphs I just wrote to Datisca, that's OK with me. Kingdon (talk) 14:12, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Light elves

message: Light elf → Light elves — after much research the light elves and dark elves are plural in original Eddic texts, they hardly ever travel alone and the original Norse word is plural.

message: The main elf page is very broad (and concentrates on English elf).

Talk:Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars

message: This claim doesn't feel right to me.  The miniseries had commercials when it aired for four hours on the Sci-Fi Channel, while the DVD version doesn't.  Assuming standard 3/4 show to 1/4 commercial ratio, we have three hours of the show, which is what is on the DVD.
However, the story might seem a bit 'cut' because it was originally intended to comprise the whole fifth season of the show.
I agree... the taped TV versions I've seen usually have about 3 hours of footage after commercials are removed DumberDrummer 01:00, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Eucalyptus scoparia

message: The Euclid site (Centre for Australian National Biodiversity / CSIRO) gives the etymology of scoparius as follows: "Origin of Name - 
Eucalyptus scoparia: Latin scoparius, broom-like, allusion obscure". Roland Wilbur Brown in his book "Composition of Scientific Words" gives "scoparius, m. sweeper" as a derivation of "L. scopa, f. thin twigs, broom." There does not appear to be any contradiction between the two sources.
:These is a contradiction. Broom-like is an adjective, sweeper could be a nomen agentis or a nomen instrumenti (=noun). In case you would be more familiar with Latin, you would probably know, that the suffix -arius is a suffix to denote agents. The translation sweeper, without further explanation, is a bit ambiguous, as it could denote an agent (that sweeps), but also an instrument (that sweeps). But it is clearly a noun. The suffix -arius is also used in Latin as adjectival suffix. The translation broom-like would refer to -aria as adjectival suffix, not to -arius as suffix for nomina agentis. Wimpus (talk) 12:40, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree - "broom-like" is an adjecive. So let's leave the Latin words out and just quote the CANBR source. Just a reminder though, I do not need to be familiar with Latin. I only need to quote valid sources. If you think CANBR is wrong, I'm sure they would be pleased to hear from you. Their contact details are here Gderrin (talk) 13:23, 20 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I do not agree. Wikipedia is not only about quoting valid sources. On Wikipedia:Quotations: "Quotations are a good way to comply with the no original research policy but must be used with care." and on another page: "Editors should generally summarize source material in their own words" In that case, you should have to understand what is actually written. In case you are using Brown, you have to be familiar with such terms as declension or genitive. Nowhere in Brown you can find an explanation in layman's terms of these concepts, although, if you are not familiar with such terms (and Brow uses such terms, to explain how to use his dictionary), you make mistakes such a misidentifying genitive cases (for nominative cases), that you have done repeatedly. Similarly, I can not reliably use an English dictionary, if I am not familiar with the difference between adjective, noun and verb. Wimpus (talk) 14:03, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

message: The government section of the "Outline of Kosovo" needs to be checked, corrected, and completed -- especially the subsections for the government branches.
When the country outlines were created, temporary data (that matched most of the countries but not all) was used to speed up the process.  Those countries for which the temporary data does not match must be replaced with the correct information.
Please check that this country's outline is not in error.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact The Transhumanist .
Thank you.
::: O dear, O dear, O dear. I have already commented on "the Cabinet of Kosovo" and "the Government of Kosovo"  but I think this beats them. If municipalities have extensive executive powers which cannot easily be taken away from them they are part of the executive. If the judiciary are independent, they are not.
Perhaps we need a WikipIdea for five-year olds, separate from the main one.

Talk:Kerry Emanuel

message: Hi,
I just wanted to say that Kerry Emanuel came to one of our local (Boston-area) churches to give a presentation on climate change. It was very interesting. The presentation clearly showed us what the predictions have been concerning the effects of climate change compared with what the actual results have been. So one sees neither the worst-case or best-case scenarios really jive with facts. Still, it the effects are occurring much, much more quickly than expected. Formerly scientists projected about 40-years time (around 2040) until the polar caps would melt significantly, yet  this is happening even now. So they are not sure exactly what factors are coming into play to make this happen so quickly.
He also asked for questions and comments from us, his audience, and was able to answer us in a very articulate and down-to-earth manner. He also has a warm personality and was very easy to talk with him.
Moreover, his book, on same subject, was very interesting recap of the presentation. It's a small, easy-to-read book, written in a simple, very readable and clear style.
So I highly recommend his books and presentations to all who want to learn more about climate change. 
God Bless,

Talk:Fruit butter

message: I've come accross other articles on English Wikipedia that seem to be decribing the same basic recipe here, although there are of course regional variations.  Apple butter (which is very focused on the American version) and Fruit butter.  I think it would be better to create one article that's actually more than a stub, rather than a bunch of very similar foods that don't get more than a few lines. The same basic technique of cooking the fruit until it is very dark and concentrated would be a more solid page, with all the different variations in cooking and fruit type such as appelstroop and  Sirop de Liège on that page.  I'm going to bring this to the food wikiproject's attention, to get some feedback on how to proceed. I'd be happy to work on this. Nihola (talk) 02:07, 7 August 2010 (UTC)
