message: The picture seems to show a parallel Cantilever bridge!

The cantilever bridge is the Quebec Bridge.  Closer inspection of the photo places the cantilever bridge in the background, behind the Laporte suspension bridge.

thread_title:  Arbitrary section header 

message: Specifically, it currently reads " The website has continued to grow after the publication of the book and contains, as of July 18, 2010, more than 612 entries. ". The source linked states " In addition to The Skeptic's Dictionary, which  now includes more than 500 entries".  I see several issues with this:
*Firstly, the un-encyclopedic wording "more than 612 entries" can leave one wondering are there 613, 615 or 7,613 entries.  It should read  (if not for the third issue below) either "over 600 entries" or "612 entries" (or the exact number, whatever it be).
*Secondly, the specific date is (IMO) overdoing it, suffice to give the month and year, I would think.
*Thirdly, the source says nothing about "612" or more.  It clearly says "more than 500".  If someone counted them and came up with (roughly?) 612, that is clearly original research.
*Fourthly, "The website continued to grow after the publication of the book" sounds promotional.
"As of January 2011 the website has over 500 entries" is more concise, hence this edit. Davesmith au (talk) 06:43, 4 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, the second paragraph repeats the first, "nearly four hundred entries" (which for all intents and purposes, is the same as "nearly 400 entries") and "one of the most comprehensive" is a subjective opinion (and also sounds promotional), and should only be allowed if an independent source describes it as such.

Talk:Raft (novel)

message: Would it be more appropriate for this to be at "Raft (novel)" rather than the o'er prolix "Raft (Stephen Baxter)"? More standard as well. --maru   (talk)  contribs 19:32, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Naming 

message: Although Baxter claims that the Raft universe has a gravitational constant approximately one billion times greater than ours (i.e. approximately 6.67*10^-2 instead of 6.67*10^-11), such a constant would mean that a 100 kg (220 pounds) human would exert more than one gee of acceleration on the blood in his own extremities just from the attraction of his own body mass. Two people lying against each other would barely be capable of pushing off from each other's gravity wells without requiring a superhuman strength-to-mass ratio. Likewise, a one-meter diameter sphere of solid iron (mass of approximately four tonnes) would exert over ONE HUNDRED gees of acceleration at its surface--a human stuck to this modestly-sized object would have his own skeleton crushed by the gravity after a few seconds. Baxter's 300-meter diameter iron asteroid (said to be a fragment of a burnt-out star) would have a surface gravity of approximately 300 times as great, or THIRTY THOUSAND gees. Granted, Baxter stated that the asteroid was full of voids like a sponge, but to get his stated four to five gees of surface gravity, it would have to be over 99.9% hollow. Indeed, a volume of air the size of the asteroid, at the density of Earth sea level air, would exert an attraction of more than three gees.
Given the gap between the gravity calculated from his stated "one billion times greater" gravitational constant and the attractions shown in the story, I think that Baxter intended for gravity to be one million times greater in the Raft universe than in ours, not one billion.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.245.37.196 (talk) 08:00, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

:The city tree is the zelkova.
:The city flower is the Satsuki azalea, adopted in Showa 37 (1962).
It's fairly redundant, but it does list more information.  (Yadome is a kind of mulberry from Akita, but it also has something to do with stopping arrows, which is what the design actually looks like, so I'm not sure how to translate it.)

#Harry Potter --bjwebb 4 July 2005 15:14 (UTC)
::Nominate:'I'd like to nominate this, the series article. It just recently made the good article category (though I'm not sure how long it will last). The Lord Voldemort article doesn't seem as active these days and today the HP article got some good feed back from User:Monocrat and it would be great to have some help (or at the very least debate) on these suggestions
::* Synopses of the plot and major characters are needed, a few paragraphs each should do it. (See WP:FICTION)
:::* Regarding "Reception": "Literary Criticism" could be spun into its own "Criticsm" section, followed by "Controversies," which would include the "Injuction..." (title shortened to "Canadian injunction" or some such). A personal peeve of mine is the use of section headers for small sections, so consider using definition lists or just simple paragraphs to make a long section. The plagarism section could be cut down to two or three sentences and put in the controversy.
:::* The "Other analagous works" section is of dubious value for its length, and the dearth of inline citations makes it vulnerable to charges of original research. Remember: "any material that is challenged and has no source may be removed by any editor."
:::* "See Also": either make the formatting more consistent (and filming locations should not be its own subsection), or simply remove them all and refer to the category. You might also want to consider expanding the navigation box for this purpose.
:::* "Releases": What about the movies and games? What were their rankings and revenue?
:::* "Series" should be prosified for moved to the bottom of the page. Better yet would be to simply use  (I'm not sure on my coding there), or to generate a comprehensive list of HP media and make an article called "List of Harry Potter Media."
:::* "The Future": "The" generally should not go in headings (per the MOS), and this section should arguably go under "Overview."
:::* "Harry Potter the Brand": also per the MOS, the article name shouldn't be repeated. Something like "Commericial success" would be better. Perhaps you could list how many books, DVDs, games, soundtracks, etc. have been sold.

thread_title: The proper location for this page

message: while it's great to see mr. etitis and mr. abbot conversing above in a civil fashion, this article still sounds like a press release to me, and probably should be flagged until it gets fixed. I'm not going to, because I'm not sure when I'd get back to check on things. problem phrases include: "studied with Khyentse Rinpoche for many years", "with many dignitaries in attendance and much celebration", and the entire dharma activity section. The Sakyong section seems pretty circuitous; going into the meaning of the word sakyong and the role of the sakyong before explaining that his father was the first one (and doesn't appear to have widely used the title himself) is confusing at best. 
Given that the subject of the article has at least three different names, it'd be good to explain what they all are. Also, it perhaps should be noted just which trungpa rinpoche the first wangmo is the widow of (the 11th, yes?). Akb4 18:11, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
