Talk:Administration (government)

message: This article was orignally part of a general article "Administration", most of which related to Business Administration.  For the history of editors whose contributions formed this article, please see the history page for Administration (business).  --Concrete Cowboy 20:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Origin

message: The article claims administration' is used in Europe for local governments, but not in English speaking countries. So at best, it can refer to analogous terms in the various languages. But where is this used, then? Not in the Netherlands, for one. Note that there are no links to articles in other languages. Is that an omission or an indication? So I looked it up in the specific Wikipedias. The German Wikipedia says the word is used in the general meaning of 'management', which can also apply to local governments. But no specific article about German politics seems to use the word. So it's an unusual term at best. In Spain, it appears to only refer to autonomous communities . The French Wikipedia indeed puts a stress on governments, but for example the article on the German 'administration' links to a German article that does not use the word. The Italian Wikipedia doesn't even have an entry for the word!  And I don't know any other languages well enough. So, apart from France, the article seems to overstate the case. I came to look this all up because very often English Wikipedia articles use the word 'administration' for 'government', which is very US-biased and confusing.

Talk:Trevally

message: Changed the direction of the redirect to Carangidae from White Trevally. Many other members of the family are referred to by the term (like "barb" for Cyprinidae and "tetra" for Characidae). Maybe in the future, we could change this into a disambiguation page/small article for those carangids commonly called trevally. Shrumster 20:39, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: So is the White Trevally the one we eat?  Most people looking up "trevally" aren't going to be interested in a family of 100+ fish, most of which are red-linked, or not edible.  I want to know about the common trevally that one sees in the fish shop or at the table, and there's nothing on the Carangidae page to point me to where I can find that information.  Zsero 19:21, 3 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As stated on talk:Carangidae, the White Trevally is the prominent species of trevally eaten in Southern Australia and New Zealand. In most other countries, there are a wide variety of other speceies marketed as trevally. And i agree with Shrumster's suggestion of an article dedicated to the "trevallies", even this is a paraphyletic and biologically meaningless name, it is too widely used to be ignored.

Talk:Air Namibia

message: I suggest removing the "Leased from Lufthansa" note from the fleet. The source that is quoted (flight international) says that these aircraft are leased, and that they are ex Lufthansa. They were leased by Lufthansa from the same company that now leases them to Air Namibia (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a340-51.htm). Nowhere in the source is it stated that Lufthansa is now the company leasing them to Air Namibia. Airfleet.net states (http://www.airfleets.net/flottecie/Air%20Namibia-active-a340.htm) the MSN being 47 and 51. These frames have their individual entries (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a340-47.htm) and (http://www.airfleets.net/ficheapp/plane-a340-51.htm), where Air France and Sabena have been listed as previous operators. Lufthansa had these aircraft for only three years. They got them used (unlike any other A340s), and quite later than the previous planes.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.204.38.63 (talk) 11:49, 9 October 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Fantasia No. 3 (Mozart)

message: Its not really that unusual for a D Minor piece to end in D Major.  In the classical era, the minor mode was considered "inherently unstable" and switching to the major mode for resolution was a very common way for a minor-key piece to end.  Sure, there were cases where Mozart stunk with the minor key until the very end (Piano Concerto No. 24 (Mozart) and Symphony No. 40 (Mozart)) but there were other works were he finished off in the tonic major (Piano Concerto No. 20 (Mozart)). DavidRF 20:57, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, it certainly isn't unusual to develop from minor to major; but I think it's pretty unusual for a piece of this scope. I don't think you'll find many examples of this. (Frankly, I don't think 100 measures is enough room to do it properly.) Also, though I'm unsure where the original piece ends and the added-on conclusion begins, my guess is that it occurs somewhere around measure 94, where the minor mode reappears briefly, perhaps indicating that Mozart would have concluded the piece in D minor. --Todeswalzer|Talk 22:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I read this again and my first reaction was to add a fact tag.  Its been ten months, but I still disagree.  100 measures is plenty of time to change keys.  Check the article on Double variation, you can switch from minor to major every dozen bars or so no problem. DavidRF 02:37, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Malvaviscus

message: The number and identity of species in Malvaviscus is unclear. The latest revision that I've seen, Turner & Mendenhall, Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 80(2): 439-457 (1993), recognises 4 species, but rejects or excludes 2, M. candidus and M. palmatus, of the 3 species recognised by Schery's earlier monograph (Ann. Missouri Bot. Gard. 29(3): 183-244 (1942)). As I have only seen the abstract I am unaware of the grounds on which this is done. M. penduliflorus is recognised as a cultivar, rather than as species. Again I am unaware of the grounds on which this is done.

message: The article should be called Gorbeia, which is the correct Basque name. Gorbea is the Spanish name, but this place is in the Basque Country (and furthermore an important place in Basque culture and folklore).

Talk:Bidasoa-Txingudi

message: 1. the comarca "Bidasoa-Txingudi" and the region "Bidasoaldea" are the same thing, but they have their own aricles. some articles link to one, others to the other. neither article even mentions that they are also known by the other name. they should be joined and both names included (as is done in most other Basque-related articles). they both even reference the same spanish and basque aricles, and those articles resolve these issues and even include a third name.
2. both their respective infoboxes need to be fixed too. one calls them "comarcas" and the other "regions". the combined article could list both boxes (one for Basque Country in general, one for Gipuzkoa specifically). the name and number of comarcas/regions in the boxes should coorespond to the name/number in the article (and each other).
3. articles in different languages also link back to the 2 different articles. once the combined article is ready, those arcticles should point to the same place.

Talk:First South West

message: Do we really need to include all of the route numbers which First Devon and Cornwall buses serve? For a start, the list is incomplete, because it includes literally no Devon routes at all. Also, looking at other articles about bus companies, for example National Express, there seems to be more information about the company rather than a list of service numbers. Surely we can just replace the services section with a link to the First Devon and Cornwall website (if it isn't already there), and allow visitors to look up a route themselves?

Talk:Frontier Nursing Service

message: Hello, Editors! I am going to edit this article for my Editing Project, and here's my editing plan I would like to share with you to see if you have any suggestions and comments:
1. The "History" block is hard to follow since the information is not presented in chronological order and some information in the last paragraphs is repeated. I want to rearrange the last paragraphs, add citations, since some parts of the text are direct quotes from the FNU website, and want to add subheadings to organize the information in this section. 
2. Add visuals: I found the digitized copy of the Frontier Nursing Service Quarterly Bulletin, vol.V from December 1929 with the motto and purpose of FNS, so I want to make a screenshot of that page and add it to the article. I am also thinking about adding visuals from the FNU website since it would add to the completeness of the article. 
3. To the "impact" section, I want to add some information on how many patients FNS helped during the year 1938 to 1939. 
4. I'll also work on copyediting. 
What do you think about my editing plan, and do you have any recommendations?. Do you think that reorganizing the "history" block will help with the readability? I aim for 10 substantive edits. All suggestions are welcome! Thank you. 2601:541:101:7DC0:AD20:C4F3:B235:DCF8 (talk) 19:50, 29 March 2023 (UTC)
