thread_title: 2007 comment

message: Well I can think of other examples, for instance where supply may be artifically restricted or demand for some reason low.
For instance price regulation of pharmcuticals in the UK, an eloborate form of price ceiling:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharmaceutical_Price_Regulation_Scheme
Or prescription charges in the UK
fixed price
Examples seem to show an increased demand where price is lowered... Though it's not hard to find examples where increasing the price has increased the demand and a good is seen as having greater value than it actually has. I think this was the case with BMW, certainly a car manufacturer, who saw sales increase when they put the price up.
There are also concepts such as 'the greater fool' where profits are the key drivers and people buy because the price is rising until such point as supply is limited by affordability, not real value (for instance stock market 'adjustments' where price is much greater than value) nor total quantity.
In those examples increased 'price' is not caused by lack of supply but supply by price.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.197.127.195 (talk) 13:51, 22 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  other examples 

message: I think that this article needs a serious rewrite. Currently it reads like a patchwork of isolated statements which are not always consistent. Furthermore, there are several instances where it presents the policy of price ceilings in very black and white terms ('Always bad').
I would like to suggest that the list of the examples be trimmed down (there are two examples of housing that tell basically the same story), and I would also like to add an example of a price ceiling used in a reasonable way (i.e. as a means of correcting the tendency of natural monopolies to underproduce and overcharge).
Before making any substantive changes to this article, I would like to open up the discussion on the talk page (Lucas(CA) (talk) 23:46, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree with the sentiment of this post, even as it went unanswered for 1,5 years. The article body is currently overly negative, with every example stating it negatively affected the price or caused shortages. It's very unlikely that every case of it happening was a disaster. For now then, a tag. Prinsgezinde (talk) 22:47, 11 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Stump-jump plough

message: There was a semi-mechanical device used to uproot Mallee, invented by a Mr. Mullens. The process of clearing Mallee land with this device became known as "Mullenisation". Around that time, there was developed a sort of giant adze with a long wooden handle, and was specifically used to "Grub out" Mallee roots. it was called a "Mallee Grubber". Time passed and the term" Mullenisation"  fused with "Mallee Grubber" and the adze became known as a "Mulley Grubber".
In the mid 1900's after WW2, there was, for the first time, a large influx of non-British European immigrants, many skilled tradesmen, among them plumbers. There was a large metal device used by plumbers to grasp and hold pipes, known as "Grabbers". As the "Mulley Grubbers" disappeared, replaced with fully mechanical uprooters, these European plumbers started to call the pipe grabbers "Mulley Grubbers".
Strange, but true. I have used the Adze "Mallee Grubber" and the metal pipe "Grabbers" and witnessed the bizarre transformation of meanings. Historygypsy (talk) 01:03, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

Breeding: Parental care, reproduction 
2) Aggression 
→On the last paragraph of this section, it might be nice to elaborate more on how aggression arises. One way of doing this might be to give examples.
3) Redundancy 
→Mouthbrooding is both mentioned and explained in Reproduction and Parental Care sections. It might be more appropriate to only mention it in one section. (probably the section that appears first?)

Talk:Bombardier Turbostar

message: I see no need to merge. A Turbo is a different train to a Turbostar.
*They were built by different companies
*Built in different eras
*The Turbo article is inacurate (i think) by having the Turbostars in that article
*Different top speeds
*Different internally
To me the proposed merge is like saying merge the Turbostar and Electrostar articles together, its not needed.
The only debate is over the Class 168, which is very similar to the Class 170. Is the Class 168 a Turbo, a Turbostar or neither?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Year1989 (talk • contribs) 20:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The Turbostar is descended from the Turbo, but it’s a quite different train, and it would be counterproductive to merge the two. As for the 168, Bombardier refer to it as a Turobstar on their web site, and I’m inclined to say that it’s their prerogative to make that decision. David Arthur 22:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think the two articles should be merged, as they talk about two different types of train. However, it might be worth considering if there is any actual need for these articles at all, along with others such as Pacer (train), as most of their content is duplicated from the individual articles. --Jorvik 19:35, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

text: The difference between the 170 and 171 is minimal, and the 168 and 172 are only slightly more distinguished, so I think it’s definitely more useful to cover them all in one article about the Turbostar family (in the agreement under which they were created, the individual class articles were meant to cover only the specific details of each class, but other information has crept in). The Turbo article was just created yesterday, and it seems similarly useful, with the proviso that its coverage of the Turbostar should be removed and replaced with a note that the Turbostar is a post-privatisation descendant of the Turbo.

Talk:Nevill Cobbold

message: The Glasgow Evening News 21 March 1885: N. Cobbold (surely not short for 'Nuts'!). The Arbuthnot family tree website: Hester Marion Arbuthnot married '(William) Nevill Cobbold' 23 July 1890. It's a modern source, so you can't take it as read. But the couple's son and two grandchildren (including a girl) had Nevill among their forenames, as did Lorna Nevill Cobbold, born 1894, presumably their daughter. The clincher: the 19 July 1890 edition of the Ipswich Journal: 'The marriage arranged between Mr. W. Nevill Cobbold and Hester Marion, third daughter of Mr. W.R. Arbuthnot'. The 7 July 1890 edition of the Morning Post (London): same wording as Ipswich Journal. I've looked through hundreds of contemporary newspaper reports, none of which calls him William Cobbold.

Talk:Kobayashi aikido

message: I have a few questions.  Is the style separate from the Aikikai.  I know his students in Japan are part of the Aikikai.  If it is separate, who created it as a separate organization - Kobayashi or his European students.
I removed it from the list of styles for the moment because at least in Japan the dojo founded by Kobayashi is very much Aikikai.  If the above point is clarified I can add it back.
Secondly one of the big things missing from the Wikipedia articles on Aikido is a biography on Kobayashi H..  Be great if one could be written.
