Talk:Regions of Slovakia

message: I don't think the terminology used in the article is completely accurate. The Slovak term okres has always been translated into English as "district". A related word is okrsok, which means "police district". Kraj can be translated two ways: 1.) "County" - but a county in a generic sence, not a historical county (that would be stolica, župa, etc. - largely analogous to the British terms shire and county). 2.) "Region", "Land", "Territory" - generic enough, but the synonym to "land" is rather similar to the case of the Bundesländer of Germany and Austria (in terms of contextual meaning, not official administrative capacity). I'm deliberately writing my criticisms into the Talk page, because I don't want to edit the article out of the blue: I find it well written, I only mind those minor innacurracies in the English translation/explanation of the terminology. Just my two cents. --ZemplinTemplar (talk) 21:30, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Colour 

message: I am proposing that we merge Pharos (crater) into Proteus (moon).  The Neptune system has only been visited by Voyager 2, which managed to snap a picture of the crafter during the flyby.  Due to the limited knowledge and resources available, I feel the information in Pharos can best be summarized in a subsection of this article with minimal editing.  While other craters for celestial bodies do have their own articles, generally these articles are for bodies that have been visited by numerous spacecraft or for an extended mission by a single spacecraft.

Talk:Hyphen War

message: :The Hyphen War was the conflict between ...
:The Hyphen War was the name of the conflict between ...
If writing about the conflict itself, rather than about the name of the conflict, I would consider the first format above correct.  But the opening of this article writes about the name of the conflict.  When writing about a term rather than using it to write about what it refers to, it should be italicized.  Moreover, unless the word "The" is part of the name, I think it shouldn't be there.  Consequently I've included it within the italics as part of the name. Michael Hardy 18:29, 13 July 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Segregation distortion

message: Is segregation distortion the same as meiotic drive? I think it is: http://wiki.cotch.net/index.php/Meiotic_drive . Should I update the Wikipedia?
Description is not understandable, I have cut out "that" but still this the distortion is not explained. 
"When the fly has the segregation distorter gene, the two cells do not have the gene malfunction; thus all the sperm produced by that fly carries the SD+ gene".
This sentence "When the fly has the segregation distorter gene, the two cells do not have the gene malfunction; thus all the sperm produced by that fly carries the SD+ gene" doesn't really make sense - to what 'two cells' is it referring?
I agree that the quoted sentence doesn't make much sense, the 'two cells' refer to the gametes that do or do not carry the driver allele, I believe. 
There is a controversy on names (see my comments in the 'intragenomic conflicts' section) because they relate to very different mechanisms, and most authors suggest the name "transmission ration distortion" should be the generic one. But in practice and in the general litterature in population genetics, meiotic drive or segregation distortion are quite synonymous.
I agree this should me merged with meiotic drive in the section for intragenomic conflicts. Actually this article gives too much empasis on the particular case of the SD system in drosophila, whereas there are many other cases.  So in any case, if an article on segregation distortion/meiotic drive is kept apart from the general case of 'intragenomic conflicts', it should thus be much more general and explain the several classes of driver, with their mechanisms and main dynamical properties.

Talk:Greek phonology

message: This is an article I plan to be expanding in July and finish by August (due to time constraints).  When finished to a reasonable standard, it should be incorporated into the Greek language group of articles.  Comments and contributions will be welcome Chronographos 30 June 2005 08:44 (UTC)
The idea that the ancient Greeks did not have the concept of orthography seems very surprising. Didn't the Greeks have a word for it? :-) rossb 30 June 2005 16:00 (UTC)
:Not in the sense of "correct spelling".  That is, until the grammarians of the Hellenistic era tried to make rules that covered spelling, since pronunciation and spelling had already started diverging markedly.  Initially, and rather late, the word was used for the description of architectural plans showing the building upright (orthon - the architectural term is, I believe, elevation).  Check Liddell-Scott-Jones.  Chronographos 30 June 2005 17:54 (UTC)
::First off, there is no such thing as a perfect written representation of spoken language. A alphabet may be more or less phonemic, but it can for obvious reasons never perfectly imitate speech. The contenxt of the article right now is very misleading.
::Secondly, this article should mainly be concerned with the Greek language spoken today, like all other phonology articles of living languages. An article about the phonology of Ancient Greek should be covered in Ancient Greek, not here.

Talk:Char kway teow

message: Is char kway teow always made with fairly thin noodles (i.e. under 1 cm)?  Some fried rice noodle {i.e. Shahe fen) dishes use very wide noodles that may be up to 2 cm in width but Chinese friends tell me that char kway teow is always made with noodles that are about fettuccine or pad Thai width (i.e. about 5mm in width).  Is this correct?  Badagnani 21:21, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually (and you may get this from the picture) I would say 1 cm is about the normal width of the noodles used. 5 mm is a bit thin IMHO and 2 cm seems a bit wider then what I would say the norm is. Also, if by Chinese friends, you mean from China (including HK) or Taiwan, I wouldn't consider them great authorities.

Talk:Dog communication

message: I would like to add "play sneeze" to the auditory communication types. It's both auditory and visual, but i guess it fits better in the auditory section. 
Dogs will usually make a "play sneeze," an expulsion of air that resembles a sneeze, but is not actually a sneeze, to indicate that they are not being aggressive, like when they initiate play, or play is initiated with them, or even if they notice that their play partner has been hurt. 
A number of experts confirm this, including, Turid Rugaas (who is already cited multiple times in the article) lists play sneezing as a calming signal in On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals. The existing article already lists several of the calming signals mentioned in the book, but omits this notable one. 
Also confirming it is Debra Eldredge, DVM (DVM is PhD equivalent for veterinary science), in an interview for the website dogster.com     
Also confirming it is veterinarian Dr. Janice Huntingford in a blog article about dog sneezing,
 
Also confirming it is veterinary doctor Ernie Ward, in a self-published article about dog sneezing
