thread_title: Sight

message: I cleaned up this section the best that I could, but two statements are unclear to me, and somebody with the scientific knowledge, or at least familiarity with the japanese article referenced, will need to determine how to rephrase these statements:
:Breeding only once a year, occuping about 10% of the population, 40-60 have reached sexual maturity
Does this mean that only 10% of the population will be breading at any time ?  And so does that also mean that this translates to 40-60 actual fish ?  That would mean that this statement comes from a specific part of the reference that was looking at a specific population in a study ... You can't make an assumption about that statement without knowing the research, or what the author intended.
:Also the period growth is slower and reach sexual maturity after hatching, having a long life
Does this mean that it takes them a long time to grow and reach maturity after hatching and they live for a long time, meaning allowing them to reproduce starting later than usual but continue reproducing longer than usual, or that they reach maturity right away after hatching ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bioevolution (talk • contribs) 19:53, 2 December 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: It seems like it does imply that only 10% have reached sexual maturity (totaling 40-60), and those are the ones that can breed.  It would be great to have some clarification, though.  I also think the second part implies that they have a difficult time reaching sexual maturity, with many of them being killed before they can actually reproduce.  If, however, they are able to reach that point, then their chances of surviving many years increases drastically.  Something like this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life_table.

message: I took out the part that said they evolved from their above-ground counterparts, without stating what the counterparts are.

Talk:Ångerman

message: A while ago we on Wikipedia moved Swedish Latinized  provincial names such as Angermannia to such as Ångermanland. Ironiously, Enc. Britannica lists this river as such:
	Angerman River (riv., Swed.)
	
	Ångermanälven (riv., Swed.): see Angerman River
	
	Ångermanland (prov., Swed.) 
(http://www.britannica.com/eb/index?search=ANFO)
So I will consider moving this article to Angerman River, even if the provincial name is Ångermanland. I will also consider moving all "-älven" articles to "River" article names.
Fred-Chess 16:26, August 29, 2005 (UTC)
Please do not.  Ångerman or Angerman are not the same. Å and A are different letters and sort differently in the Swedish alphabet.
A is the first letter, just like in English. Å is the 27th letter. They are pronounced differently. They sort differently. They are different letters.
Substituting Å for A would be like substituting M for N in English. They look similar enough?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.197.118.4 (talk) 08:42, 7 March 2018 (UTC)

message: I agree with the recent changes that have attempted to be made. I understand the common name principle, I don't think that applies here. We're not talking about how the character should be referred to in other texts, we're talking about the credited role. The character from A Fistful of Dollars is "Joe". Joe may also be referred to as the "Man with No Name", but he's still Joe. I don't think we should start using nicknames for literary characters in the columns designated for credits.

Also, I've been unable to find any Wikipedia page that covers William's alleged father, Theodoric, King of the Jews of Septimania.
