Talk:Joshua Lederberg

message: I recently came across this statement: "Planetary protection became an issue
for the scientific community in December 1957 when Joshua Lederberg wrote a letter to the National Academy of Sciences. He was concerned that it would not be possible to test the panspermia hypothesis for the origin of life if the Moon became contaminated with terrestrial organic matter as a result of spacecraft missions."

message: Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons provides that:Self-published books, zines, websites, and blogs should never be used as a source for material about a living person, unless written or published by the subject of the article...See the concern that I expressed at Wikipedia:COIN#User:Shadow600 responds to Pairadox 3, about information added to J. Lederberg's article in January by User:Shadow600.  I believe that www.estherlederberg.com, as a personal self-published site, does not qualify as a reliable source. Negative commentary about Joshua Lederberg has been sourced to that site. This article's reference to that site and all the claims that are sourced to it need to be removed, under our policies. I would welcome comment about this from neutral editors. If any criticism of the conduct of J. Lederberg needs to be expressed, that criticism needs to be quoted from a published source.

Talk:Theobald Smith

message: Theobald Smith's Phenomenon or anaphylaxis was discovered by him through the use of guinea pigs which he injected with a small dose of blood serum containing diphtheria antitoxin.  His experimenting with guinea pigs was conducted with the intention of determining a standardized or proper dose.  He observed that a small dose of diphtheria antitoxin caused the guinea pigs to become highly susceptible to a somewhat larger dose of the same diphtheria antitoxin when injected several weeks later, perhaps causing the guinea pigs to die.  
Other names for anaphylaxis include hypersusceptibility and protein sensitization.

Talk:Dicarboxylic acid

message: It says "saturated dicarboxylic acids" and proceeds to list them.... but the article just say "dicarboxylic acids" and start with Carbonic Acid.  Formula HOOCOOH.
Carbonic Acid's technical name should be "formodicarbonic acid" or "formodicarboxylic acid" or "formodioic acid"... 
If we are to stick with the methodology of this author, we would use "formodioic acid" as the technical name.
Also, the section on pKa's is wrong, whoever gave some of those measurements on the other wiki pages for those acids used a poor method.  The pKa's will definitely be higher numbers further down the line and the curve of numbers should be logarithmic in appearance.

replies: text: The article should be strongly rewritten. These articles evolve, and for someone who might lack a good grasp of the area, it is easier to enumerate and that is what we have on our hands, a series of lists.  Kind of useful, but not very comprehensive overview.   Many of the primary references should be moved to their individual articles or parked into a section labeled "Further reading".  The article also seems to be too focused on bio-derived materials acids, which are probably less important that those used as precursors to polymers.  You might suggest an outline, see if you get buy-in (or complacency, which is more likely), and then implement.  That cycle takes about 10 days.  --Smokefoot (talk) 12:23, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the excessive tags. In my opinion, the article is a fair representation of the topic. Yes it is bitty, and some material may be better moved to articles on specific compounds, if such articles exist. The main defect is the format of the references.

The nominating editor is, for reasons unknown to me, borrowing much of my language and strategies from my requested moves at Talk:Leno (disambiguation) and Talk:Ebert, even though I've pointed out (in the "controversial move" discussion linked above) that the same arguments don't really apply to this case, where there is a primary topic.

Talk:Education in Quebec

message: Something needs to be written about this. I am no expert, but there are three types of schools in Quebec: public, private and independent. Public is 100% funded by the government and adheres to the MELS programs, private schools are subsidized (30%, 40% or 60% of their budget, can't remember which) and must also teach the government mandated material. Independent schools, as in their name, do not depend on public funds, and can teach whatever they want to whoever can pay tuition. They are exempted from Bill 101 when it comes to language of instruction (both of the school and the pupils). What I believe has changed recently, is that there was a caveat in this regard that one could send a child for one year in an English independent school (paying very high tuition compared to anywhere else), then send the kid to public or standard (subsidized) private school in English (thus avoiding all those "language/location of instruction of parents/sibling" conditions for English instruction).--Boffob 19:32, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

message: In giving a definition the article says "(from 'apskritas' meaning 'round')", but which round is it?
# adj. circular
# n. a regular customary course or circuit
# n. a period of activity such as a round of golf or a boxing round
# prep. in the vicinity of
All four of these make sense in context and my knowledge of Lithuanian is non-existant so I can't judge which it is.  However, if the derivation is from the sense "a regular customary course or circuit", it would seem to me that the English word "circuit" would be an appropriate translation.

However, it is not the case for most of the top-ranking public schools (except Polytechnique which is special). Écoles des Mines (Paris, Nancy, Saint-Étienne etc) ask for around 2000-3000€ a year, depending on the ranking. Same thing, but a bit more expensive, for Écoles Centrales (Supélec Paris, Nantes, etc).
