Talk:Ark-La-Tex

message: Shreveport is referred to in its article as "the commercial and cultural center of the Ark-La-Tex," while Texarkana is refered to in its own article as "the core of the Ark-La-Tex region."  This seems rather contradictory, and should probably be clarified/corrected.  Possibly the statements in both articles could be changed to something like "one of the two major Metropolitan Statistical Areas of Ark-La-Tex"?  Erp Erpington 08:42, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

message: "The region is centered on the Shreveport/Bossier metropolitan area in Northwest Louisiana, although Marshall in Northeast Texas, Natchitoches, Louisiana, and both Texarkana, Texas and Texarkana, Arkansas retain a large degree of autonomy."
This sentence in the lead implies that (a) the Arklatex is an actual political entity and (b) Shreveport/Bossier has some authority over the region, specicifically over the other cities listed.  For them to have "a large degree of autonomy" would mean there are at least some matters in which they are not autonomous.  Is there some other meaning that I'm just missing?

Talk:Weighted average cost of capital

message: what is the cost of capital in relation to property and what does property investors do with the cost of capital.and finally how do property owners calculate the cost of capital.
:The weighted cost of capital employed in real property transactions is calculated the same way as any other weighted cost. You look at all your sources of capital, eg.: mortgages, loans, money from other investors in the case of a limited partnership, and the opportunity cost of money you contribute personally. You determine what rate of interest that is being charged in each case, and you determine the percentage of total capital that comes from each source. Then you multiply each rate charged by the percentage weighting and sum accross all sources. mydogategodshat 15:32, 5 Aug 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Job Training Partnership Act of 1982

message: I think this article may be a bit of information overkill. It is loaded with all the information neccessary to understand the Act short of reading the actual text, but it is very lengthy. Could I get some feedback on this?
Skyler 11:23, Aug 5, 2004 (UTC)
Just as a quick note: 
This Act was repealed by title I, Sec. 199(b)(2) of the Workforce Investment Act of 1982. Some of the provisions were adjusted for the new Act and some were dropped.
I assume that 1982 there is a typo, it seems unlikely that an act 'of 1982' would be repealed in 1982. --Booklegger 18:31, 11 Aug 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I saw your request for peer review, and am obliging.  I think I see where your problem lies.
The reason that the article is so long is that it is not, in my opinion, an encyclopedia article.  Take this sentence for example:
Directs the Secretary to take appropriate action to establish administrative procedures and machinery (including personnel having particular competence in this field) for the selection, administration, monitoring, and evaluation of Native American employment and training programs, and of migrant and seasonal employment and training programs, under this Act.
That sounds like a straight copy and paste from a government document.  Even apart from the prose style, this is not an encyclopedia article because it makes very little attempt to provide context or meaning.  Right now it's basically a summary of the law. 
A near-complete rewrite is needed.  The focus needs to shift from what the law said to what the law actually did.  What were the notable effects of the law?  Which were the important provisions, and which were just afterthoughts or special interests?  Were these the first programs of their kind, or were they minor variants on what had gone before?  Which of its programs were considered successful?  Which were failures?  Were all of the programs actually implemented?  
Basically, you need to fit the law into the context of the overall fight against poverty.  A discussion of the politics (if any) surrounding the law's passing might also be good. Isomorphic 05:44, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I am currently working (together with Mark Stoneking) on a biographical memoir of Allan Wilson for the Biographical Memoirs of Fellows of the Royal Society.  Several inaccuracies I see in the Wilson Centre material that is posted here:
* Allan's meeting with "Mac" McMeekan took place when he was a secondary school student, not much later. McMeekan suggested Allan concentrate on biochemistry rather than on veterinary science (not genetics). He also suggested Otago University as the place to go for his University studies.
* Allan was never a Masters student at Otago University.
* Allan was not invited from New Zealand to go to University of California, Berkeley.
* He was talent-spotted by Donald Farner, a dynamic bird physiologist, who was visiting the University of Otago when Allan was an undergraduate there.  Farner invited him to come to Washington State University in Pullman, Washington as his graduate student.  Allan completed his Masters' degree there.  He then went to Berkeley for his Ph.D. work, which was not pleasing to Farner.
I hope to post here correcting these but first I have my own article to write.   Felsenst
I have since "stalled out", rather irresponsibly, in writing the biographical memoir.  It is good to see that the errors I mentioned have been corrected.  Felsenst (talk) 04:17, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Green River (Kentucky)

message: I worked as a deckhand on towboats for almost 11 years from Cape Sandy, Indiana to Cave in Rock Illinois on the Ohio river, and to mile 79 up the Green river. The map shown here is incorrect as to the location of the mouth of the Green river emptying into the Ohio river by a considerable amount. The Green river empties into the Ohio river nearly between Evansville, Indiana, and Henderson, Kentucky. Highway 41 connects these cities and has twin bridges crossing the Ohio river between the two. When crossing these bridges, the mouth of the Green river can be seen about three quarters to one mile (+/-) upstream on the Ohio river.

Also http://eco.confex.com/eco/2010/techprogram/P24980.HTM states that is the algae in the water that makes it appear green.

message: Most sources say Kings Mountain, Kentucky Fish and Game says Miracle.  They're both unincorporated areas.  Miracle can't even be found on google maps... it may be an unpopulated or depopulated place. Actually, following the hydrological maps, it appears the headwaters are about midway between Kings Mountain and Stanford to the north, and a bit east of a line connecting them. It places them 6-7 miles north of Kings Mountain and a couple miles south of Miracle (though there's uncertainty exactly what and where Miracle is). They're in the middle of nowhere, as headwaters often are. The river originates in northwesterly flowing streams out of the Pottsville escarpment on the edge of the Cumberland Plateau.

thread_title: Standardization of the lists of municipalities

message: I changed the name of this article for a simple and obliged reason.  In many Swiss cantons, the word Municipality does not refer to the Commune, but only to its executive. In fact, Swiss communes are generally governed by two direct-elected assemblies: the Council as legislative body, and the Municipality as executive body (the Mayor is choosen between the members of the Municipality, called "Municipalees").
So, if we speak about the Municipality of Lugano, we are speaking about the Executive assembly of the Commune of Lugano. Thanks for your attention.--Cusio (talk) 19:38, 20 October 2009 (UTC)
