thread_title: Articles for Deletion debate

message: This would be easy to try with go equipment, black and white markers on a 19x19 grid. (Perhaps these particular dimensions are not historical, but convenient for just this reason. Is there a link for archaeological evidence?) One might use a coin for the King Ship. If you try it on an internet Go server, note that the diagrams are labelled without the letter "i" in Go, so the King Ship starting position is "J 10" not "i 10" and the last column is "t" not "s".

thread_title: Untitled

message: I was first enrolled in the AVID program in the seventh grade and when I started I was my own worst enemy. I had detetion about twice a week for being late to my classes and I was failing everything. After my first year of AVID, I was not getting detention and I had all A's and B's! AVID truly helped me turn myself around. The AVID teachers play a huge role though! It is true that they motivate you to do YOUR best, however, they give you the extra push! I owe everything to Mrs. Moore. She was my middle school AVID teacher and she made me stay in AVID and get the job done. She helped me so much and I thank her for those two years of class. Now, I am still in the program and still being successful, however, its just not the same without her for a teacher.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.183.64.79 (talk) 23:28, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I can see the difficulty, consumer basket and all, but is it possible to estimate the value of a scudo in today's currency? In literature, a lot of payments in papal scudos to the most famous artists of that time are mentioned. It would be pretty interesting to determine how much Michelangelo was worth to the church when he worked in the Sixtine Chapel, or how much Clement XII's prelate rank in 1730 cost him in today's dollars. --77.6.83.146 (talk) 16:49, 5 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Value of Scudo? 

message: "It was subdivided into 100 baiocchi (singular: baiocco), each of 5 quattrini (singular: quattrino)." Seems unlikely to me. First, quattrino means quarter, it being worth one fifth of a baiocco would belie its name. Second, there were coins of 1/2 baiocco. These would in turn be worth 2 1/2 quattrino. It seems altogether more plausible if a baiocco was worth four quattrini, and 1/2 baiocco equalled two of them. Steinbach (talk) 16:42, 22 March 2016 (UTC)

message: The "Nofootnotes" template was added to the article in February, 2008.  As of this writing, there is only one standard footnote for the article.  However, there is a table with information on numerous United States plant patents, each with the plant patent number.  Becuase US Plant Patents are legal documents generated by the United States Government, each with a unique number, there are therefore numerous references to external documents within the text, although not in the standard Wikipedia format.  Is there a way to make this fact clearer while retaining the plant patent numbers in the text?     Jay L09 (talk) 16:22, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Might help, but sometimes it takes too long to get the protection and by the time it comes in the deal is done.  According to this (also mentioned on MLB Trade Rumors), even if a deal is already completed there's a one day grace period for a player with 10-and-5 rights, like Berkman, allowing them to reconsider approval.  So therefore this deal won't go through today under any circumstances.  It might go through tomorrow, if it's already been agreed upon. --Muboshgu (talk) 22:06, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I moved the page to Commonwealth (U.S. term) because:
It's ridiculous that this article is consistent with Georgia (U.S. state) in its title but not its meaning; it's not about a state called Commonwealth; it's about a term called commonwealth.
In contrast to Georgia (U.S. state), which is about a state called Georgia, not a term called Georgia.

Talk:Minthe

message: This is not a good way to handle Greek myth: "Minthe: “Mint” She was an Underworld Nymph who loved Hades and lay in his bed. But when he fell in love with Persephone and made her his Queen, he refused his former lover; Minthe boasted she would supplant the young Goddess in the affections of Hades, saying she was nobler of form and more excellent in beauty than Persephone and she bragged that Hades would return to her and banish the other. She was crushed beneath the foot of an angry Demeter, whom would not allow a Nymph, defame her daughter’s name. From her foot sprang a lowly plant that gave a sweet sent when crushed, called Mint." I hope Wikipedians can see that these spurious motivations do not elucidate the myth. --Wetman 05:27, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
