Talk:Maryland Route 97

message: This article's disambig note was change twice to refer to Maryland Route 97 as a "Maryland Route" as opposed to a "Maryland state highway".  Not only is "Maryland Route" improperly capitalized (it should be "Maryland route"), but that term is never used as the generic term.  Most people refer to the state-numbered highways as "state routes" or "state highways".  "State route" is more common so I wouldn't be opposed to calling it that, and also keep in mind that either term can be used to refer to a state-maintained road or a state-numbered route, however in Maryland, when people use the term "state route" they are almost exclusively referring to the state-numbered variety.  I'll change the note to refer to it as a Maryland state route.  The routebox is another issue entirely.-Jeff (talk) 14:35, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Rideau View

message: :Some minor renovations have been made to the neighbourhood, however, it is still heavily gentrified and is not one of the most appealing parts of the city.
:However, today the area is somewhat stable but is nowhere near the crime wave that hit the area in the late 80’s and early 90’s where the neighbourhood was notorious for gun violence and drug trafficking.
If I knew anything about the place, I'd try to fix 'em myself, but I don't. Bobby P. Smith Sr. Jr. 05:04, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Most people in the neighbourhood live under the poverty line..."
From the wording of the article it is unclear as to whether the above statement is referring to the Rideau View area in general, or merely to the low-income housing project which occupies only a section of the neighborhood. If the latter, then the statement is true. If the former, then it is not. Most people in the Debra housing project do live under the poverty line. These people, however, make up a minority of the population of the entire Rideau View neighborhood as a whole.
The Rideauview neighborhood is a bit unusual in its layout, as there is a low-income, government subsided housing development located right in the middle of, and surrounded on all sides by, middle-class homes and apartment complexes.
Most people in the Rideauview neighborhood do not live under the poverty line. Most people who live within the housing project located within the Rideauview neighborhood do. The wording of the article appears confusing on this point. 99.246.30.42 (talk) 17:19, 22 May 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Untitled 

message: This article is a waste.  What little information is in it is an inaccurate, untrue oversimplification.  It doesn't even consider the important question that one might consult an encyclopedia for: nutritional basis for food craving as well as the body's uncanny response that somehow identifies a food item, possibly by association. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.171.103.5 (talk) 
:: I agree, there are many more aspects to this phenomenon, and a healthy component as well, when the body tells you what it needs by food cravings. However, this is all not very well illuminated by scientific measures so any article about this is likely to become a stub. In fact, science doesn't know jack about individual nutrition, appetite and what can go wrong so, women's magazines can come up with new ridiculous BS diets every week without being accused of effing their subscribers in the A.  There is no exact science of nutrition at all and that's the most exploited misunderstood fact of them all.80.171.71.118 (talk) 20:26, 16 March 2012 (UTC)

replies: text:  - "Among the most well-known, revered, and influential music critics" - even if it's sourced, it's just syrupy and excessive. It hinges on becoming POV editing - we are not trying to promote Christgau, just demonstrate who he is and what his influence is. I took out 'revered' because I think 'influential' serves the same purpose, even if it's not a synonym. Having influence implies that his work is significant and that his peers view him highly enough to be influenced by his work. Look at, for example, the second sentence of The Beatles. You could add a lot more adjectives, but it's kept down to them being the most influential and integral to x. I just don't think throwing a bunch of extra adjectives into the lead helps the article, and again, it makes it seem like we are promoting him. ‡ El cid, el campeador talk  15:24, 3 August 2022 (UTC)

However, on the inductive reasoning article, dicto simpliciter is listed as a type of fallacy that can occur in a certain form of inductive reasoning (statistical syllogisms), and the fact that it seems very similar to the faulty generalizations (a.k.a. inductive fallacies) also makes me wonder (or at least makes me confused). -Silence 09:26, 31 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I have changed the infobox in this article from Template:Infobox to Template:Infobox school, which is the standard infobox for U.S. high school articles. Template:Infobox is intended as a meta-template for building other templates and should not appear in articles when a more appropriate infobox is available. Also, using a non-standard infobox makes the article longer and more difficult to edit, as well as visually inconsistent with other high school articles.
