Talk:Alex Borstein

message: Just clearing this up - more likely than not, what she means when she says "Mongolian" is that her grandmother or whoever was Jewish from Mongolia - i.e. not actually Asian or an ethnic Mongolian. Mad Jack O'Lantern 07:35, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Agreed.  When it showed up in the recent changes list from an an anon IP address it looked suspicious, so I changed it back, and noted the IMDB source, and frankly, almost every other reference to her DOB on the net, but I'm sure they all got it from IMDB or here.  But I suspect Alex herself on her site is a pretty reliable source.  Unless, of course, she's trying to make herself younger for better roles, but I vote for giving her the benefit of the doubt.  ;-)  Gavroche42 14:34, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: the simpsons?

message: I'm confused by a 'citation needed' tag on this sentence, "She was seen in the 2009 comedy For Christ's Sake, which was directed by her then husband Jackson Douglas." 
When you go to the page for that film, it lists Jackson Douglas as the directed and says that the movie starts Alex Borstein - and it lists Jackson Douglas as her husband on this page, without a citation tag on it. So, why would that sentence need its own citation,  when it's self-evident from the rest of the wikis on Borstein, Douglas and the For Christ's Sake film?

thread_title: Uploading from Darlington Village website

message: I replaced "had guest houses" with "hosted guest houses" — solely because "had" is the vaguest of verbs, usable as well for "having" money as for "having" babies. All we mean is that there were some guest houses associated with the place. I was disgruntled with "had fruit orchards" too, but let it stand.
I replace "a number of" every time I see it. It usually can be removed outright as adding nothing. "There are a number of houses in Darlington" tells us no more than "There are houses in Darlington." But sometimes, when it's used to mean "not just one", it can be economically replaced with "several".
I replace "significant numbers of" every time it's used to mean "many"... if I happen to be free to edit the place where I read it. "Significant" has quantitative meaning in scientific contexts and none in others. I've spent a significant amount of time thinking about this => I've thought a lot about this.

message: I find it amusing that C56C thinks that it is appropriate to add "criticism" to articles about living people that are sourced only to personal blogs of individuals, but when real criticism (of PftP) that is sourced to newspapers is added to this article, he thinks he can just remove it at will.  The police, FBI, and prosecutors all say that there was no investigation of Hyles or the church -- and yet Arbustoo and C56C want to give readers the exact opposite impression.  This is highly inappropriate.  Wikipedia has policies that discuss how this should be handled and I would suggest that C56C take a gander at WP:V and WP:NPOV before he makes any further edits.

Talk:Vegetation

message: Someone, at some point, had mangled the first sentence, completely changing it's meaning from the original.

I have reverted both of these to their approximate original conditions.

thread_title: Alteration of first two Ps

message: In the interest of consolidation of knowledge, I think it would be prudent to merge stubs that are synonymous (or nearly so) rather than foster a plethora of colloquial or semantically varying stubs. It would be more instructional to discuss differences in a single article rather than refer to one or more additional articles to get the same information. --Animalparty-- (talk) 02:40, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The usage in the source in the article implies usage that is synonymous with vegetation, but there is usage that implies that vegetation is one of many kinds of earth cover, e.g., as used here "Division - This is the first level in the classification standard separating Earth cover into either vegetated or non-vegetated categories". There also appears to be a second or more different meanings - in green building, military, pavement, etc., justifying a disambiguation page if articles on what is referred to in those uses are ever started. FloraWilde (talk) 19:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I would oppose that merger. This article (Vegetation) is about the biological concept of vegetation, while the Land cover article deals with it in the context of a wider range of land occupancy issues which are relevant mainly to the topic of land use classification and remote sensing. While there is obviously crossover between the two, that can be dealt with in WP by cross-referencing and by linkage. That is one of WP's special strengths compared with paper encyclopedias. There is therefore nothing wrong with separate articles that primarily speak to different groups of people, and I see no benefit in homogenising. Plantsurfer 12:44, 5 June 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmmm... At first I was based on one book, where was information, that "Lebereht Maass" was damaged by ORP Wicher. But I found some new information here (in russian). In short: Gunther Lutjens (commander of german destroyers) thought, that "Leberecht Maass" was damaged by 150-mm gun of coastal battery (polish ships had no such calibre). But :de:Friedrich Ruge (in 1939 he was commander of minesweeper forces), visited "Leberecht Maass" after battle, confirm, that destroyer was damaged not more, then by 120-mm gun (ORP "Gryf").

Talk:Re-exportation

message: Intuitively one would expect re-exports from smaller western nations to be near-zero since the dawn of free trade. Right now the only example is UAE funnelling trade goods to Iran around the US-backed trade embargo with Iran. Which, maybe, is a good example. But on the page List of countries by exports it stats that the majority of exports year over year from smaller post-industrial nations are re-exports. These are in some qualitative way different from UAE's trade with Iran around the embargo, to me. These smaller western nations combined economies are obviously much larger than Iran's, so the great majority of re-exports are not well described by the example.
