Talk:Systems of zoological classification

message: N.B. - This page was made by me whilst in a silly mood, and I know it's a hideous mess and a disgrace to the name of Wikipedia and all that, but it's just an experiment, and there's no need to worry; I will come to my senses and delete it all later. Maybe. :) Well, put it on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion if you want, and I might delete it in a week's time... -- Oliver P. 09:28 May 9, 2003 (UTC)
:I suppose it would be worth fixing it .. --User:Docu
This article needs a lot of work.  Should we scrap it and redirect to articles we already have? We already have well written articles on classification. RK
:If you prefer to keep it, we could place it at Talk:Systems of zoological classification/eb until at least the formatting is improved, and leave a list of related articles behind .. -- User:Docu
::I think much of the material in here is so badly out of date, it would easier to copy the good parts into our other articles, and delete the rest. RK 12:58, 21 Aug 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: If it's completely out-of-date, it should be removed, but I can't give an opinion on this. In it's current format, it's hard to read. BTW the Conrad Gessner article isn't more recent. --User:Docu
In the last few weeks the article on Scientific classification has been expanded and improved, with some new text taken from this article. At this point I would like to suggest that we delete this article altogether.  if there is anything here that anyone would like to move there, please do so. RK 14:19, 31 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Talk:Steven Seagal

message: The article suggests, using  the weasel word “allegedly” that Seagal moved to Japan to marry and thereby avoid the draft. But his wife is quoted as saying she met Seagal in 1974 in California. 1974 is one year after the end of the draft. So the claim that the marriage was connected with an attempt to avoid the draft is utter nonsense. 2.96.167.44 (talk) 12:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Exactly. Seagal turned 22 in 1974. Last US troops left Vietnam in early 1973. May still have been a draft but no chance of being sent to Vietnam. 2601:644:500:C900:25EB:5588:E363:EB71 (talk) 05:37, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Moe Szyslak

message: I think it should be mentioned that whenever there is a violent mob or generally when the people of Springfield are up to no good, Moe is a very active part of that. Examples: When there's an "angel" in Homer's garage and people go anti-science ("Lisa the Skeptic"), when a mob attacks the maison derriere ("Bart after Dark"), in "When You Dish Upon a Star" Moe is the one who says "throw your rocks everybody" (at Homer), when there's a monkey knife fight aboard Mr. Burns' ship ("The Mansion Family"), when the Stonecutters get mad a Homer, Moe is the first to say "kill him!", when there's a riot at the soccer stadium Moe's the first one to resort to violence ("The Cartridge Family"), same for "Bart's Inner Child" when people start beating each other up. Another perfect example is "Treehouse of Horror VIII" when he's the first one to accuse Marge of being a witch. If I'm not mistaken there are many more examples. Anybody know what I mean? (English is not my first language so I wouldn't wanna mess with the article myself). Dornwald (talk) 03:22, 11 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Sun Ra

message: Sun Ra's birth date (a term he did not use) was established and published by researcher Gary Carner in Carner, Gary
1990 _Jazz Performers: An Annotated Bibliography of Biographical Materials_. New York: Greenwood Press. I cited it in my MA ethnomusicology thesis: Allan Chase, _Sun Ra: Musical Change and Musical Meaning in the Life and Work of a Jazz Composer_ (1992, Tufts University), written 1989-1992, which I shared with John Szwed during the writing of his biography, and which is cited several times in Szwed's book (with some misspellings of my name). I also confirmed the date with members of the Arkestra in personal communication during my research in 1991. For example, Ahmed Abdullah asked my birthday (June 22) and said "Oh, you're a 22 person, too." I asked what he meant. "Sun Ra is May 22..." etc. JazzProf56 (talk) 16:34, 20 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Hawaiian crow

message: I removed the following:
It has been supported that the name was given to the crow by the ancient Greeks that had visited the area, because of its distinctive cry. Alala for the ancient Greeks was a deity, daughter of Ares (Mars), God of war and she represented the ancient Greek warcry as mentioned by Pindarus.

Talk:Vajrayana

message: Nirvana is a Sanskrit word as you well know, but did you know it consists of tree words, Nir Vad Djna, literally this mean “Without wrong thought”, at least this is what my teacher Chhimed Rigdzin Rinpoche taught me. To reach Nirvana is to come to the end of ones preconceived ideas, to the place where the world is new at every moment.
Buddha hood is to gain the state of a Buddha, to be a Buddha is to gain throughout ages an accumulation of merits or positive accumulated fearlessness to deal with the parts of life that beings do not like to deal with and witch make up what is commonly known as the subconscious. Having gained a storage of “good merit” one will have the connection to a whole world of sentient beings, through ones work, and so will start at a proper time a new world cycle of Buddhist teachings.
To become a Buddha and to attain Nirvana is one and the same, there is no difference between the two, in actual experience. To reach Nirvana is like becoming truly sane. And to become a Buddha is to become the King of Fearlessness.
Nirvana you may gain for you self anytime but becoming a Buddha is another matter.
--Mitrapa 16:32, 25 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Different teachers give different etymologies for the word "nirvana". The most common is as follows: "nir" is the prefix meaning "to cease" or "to stop"; "vaana" means "blowing": thus "extinguished" or "blown out" would be the literal translation. - --Bodhirakshita 03:53, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: It is a common misconception that K2O is actually used as a fertilizer. It is indeed on the labels of fertilziers, but it just an indicator of how much potassium is present IF it was in the form of K2O. If I recall correctly, it is usually in the form of potash (potassium carbonate), potassium sulfate or potassium chloride.
http://www.sizes.com/materls/fertilizer.htm :
"Again, the fertilizer need not actually contain potassium oxide."
Also, K2O reacts violently with water (K2O + H2O --> 2KOH) and I don't see any lilac flames when I use my fertilizer :).

"The amount of potassium in the fertilizer is the same as it would be if the fertilizer were 15% potassium oxide (K2O)."
"Potassium comes from potassium sulfate (K2SO4) or potassium chloride (KCl), which is also called muriate of potash."
