Talk:Silvio O. Conte

message: (1) The first paragraph claims that Conte served in Congress for "16" terms.  In the second paragraph his service was for "seventeen consecutive" terms. Which is correct?
(2) The article describes Conte as "the only member of Congress who lacked an opponent in the 1964 election"—a highly unlikely assertion.  Check it out.  Additionally, "Congress" means both the House and the Senate, and at least in the Senate John Stennis was unopposed that year in both the Democratic primary and the general election.  Maybe the quoted statement intended to mean that in 1964 Conte was the only unopposed individual among the congressional candidates in Massachusetts, but that is not what the statement actually says.

Talk:Kaiparowits Formation

message: Not sure it this is the place to put this, but the article suggests there are two species of Deinosuchus present in the Kaiparowits Formation, D. hatcheri and D.riograndensis. The references cited for the presence of D. riograndensis is a presentation abstract that does not refer the specimen to a specific species of Deinosuchus, just the genus. The paper cited for D. hatcheri appears to be talking about the same specimen and shares a co-author. D. riograndensis should be removed from the list, with Reference 16 being cited for the presence of the genus and Reference 15 for the referral D. hatcheri.

Talk:Syllable-timed language

message: This article is impossible to understand for the non-linguist.  It needs translation.
:Perhaps that is the case, or perhaps it is simply wrong.  The only syllable-timed languages I am sure of are French and Finnish.  I take it that 'stress-timed' can be regarded as the opposite.  Thus Spanish, even though its syllables are timed very nearly the same, is stress-timed, as it does have light stress.  The article on Spanish claims it is syllable-timed, at the same time as discussing its stress accents.  I shall be having another look at that.  Meanwhile, to my ears, Italian is stressed fortissimo, while Brazilian is no less stressed than European Portuguese.  Rothorpe 15:15, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I attempted a partial rewrite.  Rothorpe 17:29, 29 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: With regard to Spanish, the Timing (linguistics) page mentions that Mexican is more stressed-timed than most Spanish, as it is American-influenced.  My first exposure to the languge was through a Mexican.  Seems Spanish is a bit of a half-way house, then. Rothorpe 17:47, 29 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Being a syllable-timed language does not mean that the language lacks stress. Rather it means that timing is based on syllables rather than on stress. In the same way, being a stress-timed language in no way implies that a language lacks syllables! It simply means, that as in English, stressed syllables are pronounced with a greater duration than are unstressed syllables. Spanish has stressed syllables, certainly, but the timing of the language is based on syllables, and even stressed syllables receive about the same duration as unstressed syllables. You're right to point out some exceptions, for example many rural, northern Mexican dialects of Spanish. Interlingua 02:01, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I wonder if this page shouldn't be merged with Stress-timed language, although I'm not quite sure what we'd call it (in any case, the older pages would redirect to it).  The two concepts seem better explained with reference to each other, rather than in two separate articles. Moreover, there needs to be some discussion of how problematic the distinction is (as 155.97.38.225 hints), as many people with a little knowledge of linguistics (and some with a lot) are a little too enamoured of it, without realising how empirical work has found it rather troublesome. This language log post goes into it a little, if you'd like more information. What do other people think? Should it be merged and what would be a good title for the result? garik (talk) 16:09, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

message: A few comments or suggestions:
*The article should not attempt to discuss the properties of the products since that (huge) area is the topic of organometallic chemistry.
*It is also impossible to discuss mechanism unless we define the particular type of metalation. On that topic, we could just turn this article into a redirect to Metal–halogen exchange, which is better defined.  Most of the time, metalation referss to metal-halogen exchange.
*Other metalations: 
**deprotonation is a major type, e.g. in enolate formation or acetylide making.  Almost trivial.
**Electophilic metalation, such as some types of C-H activation. Subtopic: Directed ortho metalation
**Oxidative addition
**Carbometalation
My advice is to turn this article into a short disambiguation site, with links to various specific types.--Smokefoot (talk) 18:41, 4 May 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Barking dog reaction

message: This article has a potential copyright violation, a substantial portion having been copied from the University of Leeds site that it linked to.  Relevant passage is this:
A mixture of nitric oxide and the vapour of carbon disulphide, contained in a long tube, is ignited.  The combustion wave travels at a moderate rate down the tube compressing the gas ahead of it.  At a certain distance, dependent on the diameter of the tube, the residual mixture explodes [1].  In a very long tube the passage of the explosion wave may be seen.†  This reaction also produces a considerable amount of very bright blue light and is one of few examples of chemical luminescence in the gas phase.
