Talk:Warta

message: The standard formating: 
* the article title is bolded: Warta
* alternative names are in italics: Varta, German: Warthe
* other rivers and cities are only links to the main articles, no need to give alternative names
* German names of Polish rivers are offenssive

replies: text: German names are important, as they were the official names for most of the 1800s, a period of history that is of interest to many users. We can leave them off the interior, as long as they stay on the main topic. But if I were reading an English language history text that spoke in terms of the 1800s, it would be more convenient to see them with the rest of the description, rather than having to hunt them down through the numerous links.

text: Poland was occupied by the Germans against the Poles' will, and is considered to be ilegal action. The Germans persecuted the Poles for using Polish language and renamed many Polish cities into German language. That's why the German placenames in Poland are considered offensive and insluting. In my opinion it's enough to give the German alternatives once in the main article, and not everywhere. Mestwin of Gdansk 17:01, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Caresse Crosby

message: This article is almost a personal eessay on the subject. It covers Crosby's life in swathes that uses actual periods of hisotry ie WWI or WWII as backdrops. None of the section headers actually pair up with the time they are talking about, for example the section titled "Later life" starts in the 1930s when she was barely 40. 
There is no mention of her work with the Aid Hospital she tried to take to Narvik in 1940 or her travels through Europe and experiences in Vichy France. This entire article smacks of vanity. The editors don't understand the subject but they sure as hell fancy themselves as writers. The non linear chronology of this woman's life would make a better screenplay than an article simply stating facts in an encyclopedic style.146.199.57.139 (talk) 18:20, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Belarusian Latin alphabet

Talk:S-Methylmethionine

message: Garnett Cheney determined that there is a substance in fresh, raw cabbage juice that heals ulcers.
He called that substance Vitamin U.
If S-Methylmethionine has been proven to have no affect on ulcers, then why is S-Methylmethionine being referred to as Vitamin U in this article?
If it  doesn't heal ulcers, it clearly isn't the substance Cheney called Vitamin U.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.170.66.113 (talk) 03:24, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Ergastic substance

message: This definition doesn't make sense to me.  Nothing inside a cell is living - not DNA, not enzymes, not anything.  The cell is the smallest unit that has the characteristics of life.  Maybe you mean these substances don't participate in metabolism - but I'm not sure that works either..... ike9898 03:08, Mar 18, 2004 (UTC)
:I admit it is difficult to separate what inside the cell is "living" and what is not, since any one component cannot live by itself alone. However, cell biologists have no problem with making such a separation, even if it is in a sense artificial (for example the plant cell wall is non-living, the cell membrane is living). Non-participation in metabolic processes is frequently seen as part of the definition of ergastic substances, but not a very good one, unless one better defines which metabolic processes are being considered. The fact that biproducts of a metabolic process are "dumped" (excreted by you; crystallized in the cell by a plant) seems not to really exclude them from the metabolic process in my mind. Starch grains are clearly for storage purposes, and therefore hardly out of the metabolic loop; but are regarded as ergastic substances. The heart of your question (and complaint) lies partly at the feet of defining life. In the end, is it really all just non-living machinery fooling us that there is something special going on?  The term is a real one (as used by botanists anyway) and I've tried to select from the best definitions I could find to make it clear.  Could be just a convenient way of classifying intracellular parts..but I submit that your "The cell is the smallest unit that has the characteristics of life" is not all that safe a definition either. - Marshman 04:39, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I went back and read the definition, and now I think it was the implications of having included "non-living" there that brought the baggage to the fore that you were objecting to. By deleting it may not change much, but avoids making distinctions where such distictions are very difficult - Marshman 07:11, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)

replies: text: Revisions since your comment seem to have addressed this.  However, I have crafted some words that show the close links between the district and Wellington.  I think the wording now is more reflective of the current reality/practice.  Implying that Featherston is primarily part of Wellington and only weakly related to Wairarapa is a difficult position to sustain.  There are numerous combinations of living, working, and using services that don't support that argument.

Skysong263 (talk) 03:11, 7 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Betty Boop was based on Helen Kane. However, the Fleischers and Mae Questel added large parts of their own personalities to her. So, Betty is definitely Jewish, and is portrayed as such in multiple cartoons. As for why Foster cast an African-American woman...it's part of a trend of trying to rewrite History. Portraying British Queens as Black, Isaac Newton as South Asian, Cleopatra as Black. And, it all is in one direction. Nobody casts Daniel Radcliffe as Malcolm X. Anyone trying to claim Betty Boop was "originally Black", or "based, even indirectly, on an African-American performer" is lying, plain and simple. Betty Boop came out of Vaudeville, not Jazz. She couldn't be more obvious if she had a hook nose.

message: This page does indeed need some work and I would be happy to help edit it with the permission of the creator/editor if they would email me at zorniod@hotmail.com The overview is pretty good. The related bands section needs a little work as it appears to be a bit arbitrary and a distinction must be made between bands that they have worked with and bands they have influenced. The two are not mutually exclusive, but can be organized better. Recurring themes could be expanded a little, though it could almost be an article in and of itself. The album list is frankly a bit of a mess. There should be no "experimental release" section as first off several of those albums are main studio releases and also removing several albums from the repetoire of the LPDs and calling them "experimental" is like removing some of your fingers and calling them human. Experimentalism is part and parcel of what they do and I think perhaps that a personal reflection on what seems more accessible to you is what is being shown here. The best discography to follow is indeed the one created I believe by Greg Clow and Jon Whitney from the Cloud Zero site - it is comprehensive and accurate.
