Talk:Snowmaking

message: This article is a complete mess, especially near the top.  as for the comment by 65.126.58.226, it should be enough to say: snowmaking is costly as it uses a lot of energy and water.  The cost limits its use. 115.129.11.37 (talk) 13:02, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I made some fairly extensive edits down to Water and Air. Basically I tried to do two things.  One, to rewrite the document as simply and concisely as possible.  Two, to remove anything that didn't make sense, or was unneccessary.  For example, I removed the sentence Some systems can use up to 13,500 horsepower (10,100 kW) at full capacity..  This doesn't make sense or is irrelivant, I can't figure out which.  The article is talking about efficiency, but the power usage by itself is meaningless.  It is like saying a truck used 50L per 100km... Is this a small truck or a large semi trailer.  Or, is the sentence giving upper limit on on the size of snow guns?  Then it should state so explicitly.  I also removed references to climate change as the aim of snowmaking is to improve snow reliability and extend the season.  This aim exist regardless of whether the climate is changing. 115.129.11.37 (talk) 14:00, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Article cleanup

message: The lemma Fake snow should not be redirected to this article because it's not the same thing. Fake snow is something that is only supposed to look like snow but is not made of frozen water, such as fake snow in movies when some substances are used to provide a make-believe of winter, like salt or plastic flakes or some sort of foam. These have nothing to do with snow from snow cannon as described in this article. Also, fake snow can be made of cotton wool and other substances or simply of white paint on an object to imitate snow on Christmas trees or other Christmas decoration. I think this is what the article Fake snow should be about, and NOT a redirect to snowmaking as this is a different lemma. --Maxl (talk) 16:23, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Naming of article 

message: From the text: "Nanog: Nanog is also expressed in the ICM and participates in maintaining its pluripotency. In contrast with Oct4, studies of Nanog-null mice do not show the reversion of the ICM to a TE-like morphology, but demonstrate that loss of Nanog prevents the ICM from generating primitive endoderm.[7]"
The citation [7] is not related to work in (living) mice, there has no Nanog-null cell line been created and the word "primitive" does not even appear in the paper's text. 
This would be the correct reference it seems:

Talk:Enhancer (genetics)

message: It would appear from the current description of enhancers that they aren't absolutely necessary for transcription of some genes.  Now, I don't claim to be an expert, but having recently taken several classes covering genetics, I was left with the impression that some genes will simply not be expressed without the proper enhancers. Strictly speaking, transcription just needs a promoter region and the right machinery; on the other hand, that machinery needs to be recruited.  
What I'm trying to say is that I think something more specific about levels of transcription should be added to this page.  I am not qualified to do this. Taingalls (talk) 19:23, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: What if anything is the relationship between enhancers and "junk" DNA?  I understand the latter to be DNA that does not encode for proteins; it sounds like these enhancers fall into that category.  So are they "junk"?  And if so, is it possible that very little/ some/ much of junk DNA is really enhancers? Mcswell (talk) 01:35, 25 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Junk DNA?

message: The current (10Mar2014) intro has some problems:
* Any trans-acting protein that binds to an enhancer is a transcription factor (not sure what the current wording is trying to say)
* Enhancers can be both activating or repressive, in modern usage of the word enhancer
* It's more the on/off state than the transcription level that they regulate
* Cis-acting is really the general way they act, trans-acting is unusual or non-existing, bit too prominently mentioned

Talk:Fritzi Scheff

message: "Allegedly, according to poster 12.160.178.195, Fritzi had a son, Leonard William Norman Schiff, with Jacob Tepper-Schiff in 1919 as a result of an affair. Tepper was sponsored here from Austria by the Schiff Family, whose name he adopted. He and his Schiff cousins were all employed initially by the New York Trolley Car Company. Schiff's wife Frances took the child in as her own, avoiding horrible scandal. Artist Richard E. Schiff is Ms Scheff's grandson. He is married to poet Mary Barnet, eldest daughter of American artist Will Barnet and artist Mary Sinclair."

Talk:Swamp adder (Sherlock Holmes)

message: Interesting and well-done article, but there's two problems that bother me.  One is that, since the article subject only ever appears in one single story, and that story's own article is nowhere near the size where it would need to be split off...  why make this a separate article at all?
The other issue is that the article verges upon the mistake of talking in kayfabe when we are told "Watson might have recorded Holmes' words inaccurately".  It would be good to explain that this hypothesis presumes the popular conceit that Watson was a real person who recorded real-life adventures and may have done so inaccurately, rather than the reality that Watson was a character created to serve Doyle's authorial ends and was only an unreliable narrator in that he failed to realize the significance of what he heard and saw, rather than that he misheard Holmes' words. -- Antaeus Feldspar 22:00, 16 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Steering wheel

message: "Besides its use in steering, the steering wheel is the usual location for a button to beep the car's horn. In addition, many modern automobiles have cruise control and even radio controls built into the steering wheel to minimize the extent to which the driver must take his hands off the wheel. The airbag to protect the driver in event of a frontal collision is mounted inside the steering wheel."
I've come up with another one, steering wheel grip sensors. These check that the driver is gripping the wheel correctly. If the driver takes both hands off, an alarm sounds (the centre high mounted brake light flashes to warn other drivers) and if no response is given, full emergancy braking is applied. If the driver takes one hand off, the system checks that the driver initiates a command which requires this, if this doesn't happen, an alarm sounds, and the aforementioned brake light flashes, and the emergancy braking is applied as above.203.214.75.127
I included "A steering wheel (also called a driving wheel)" because in UK a driving wheel can means a steering wheel too.

Talk:Hemiepiphyte

message: The article says that hemiepiphytes are trees that begin life as epiphytes--growing up in other trees without actually deriving sustenance from them--and then grow roots down and later become free-standing trees rooted in the ground.
But the article on Philodendron distinguishes between species within that genus that are primary or secondary hemiepiphytes.  The primary hemiepiphytes grow as this article describes.  But the secondary ones begin as rooted plants, then send runners up trees.
I wonder if some qualified person would care to clarify that in this article.  I don't feel I should.  140.147.236.195 (talk) 21:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)

message: in List of largest mammals https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_mammals is saying "The largest species in terms of weight is the hippopotamus (Hippopotamus amphibius), native to the rivers of sub-Saharan Africa. They can attain a size of 4,500 kg (9,900 lb), 4.8 m (16 ft) long and 1.66 m (5.4 ft) tall.[3] Prehistoric hippos such as H. gorgops and H. antiquus rivaled or exceeded the modern species as the largest members of the family and order to ever exist." and in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hippopotamus_gorgops is saying "With a length of 4.3 metres (14 ft) and a shoulder height of 2.1 metres (6.9 ft) and with a weight of 3,900 kilograms (8,600 lb) H. gorgops was much larger than its living relative, H. amphibius." This doesn't make sense.
RoquePedro  29 January 2018
:Reliable sources refer to H. gorgops as much larger than H. amphibius. The measurements in the article are supported by the source (Palmer 1999) added by User:Anaxial back in 2009. The largest specimens of H. amphibius may be much larger than the average for the species but the only sensible way to compare size is through averages and on the basis of published sources the average gorgops was much larger then the average amphibius, so there's no contradiction. Mikenorton (talk) 12:52, 13 April 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: That could be true, but with my hippo studies we can say that many recorded weights of males H. amphibius are individuals still growing, we know that male hippos will grow their entire lifes, and they can live over 50 years, so a 20 years individual with 1500kg could be twice as heavy when it gets older if not more.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RoquePedro (talk • contribs) 21:22, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
