thread_title:  Potential Sources 

message: In Volume 27 Issue 1 of the Keio Economic Studies journal, Robert Evans Jr authored a text called "Economic Growth and Fires: The Case of Japan" in which, following the abstract, he opens:
:"In January, 1657, a great fire swept Ede (Tokyo) for two days. The Meireki Fire, also known as the Great Furisode Fire, in combination with a severe blizzard immediately afterward caused the deaths of more than 100,000 people."
It might be worthwhile to try and dig deeper into that blizzard and just how big a role it played -- this seems like something that should likely be mentioned in under the Aftermath heading. Kwrusch (talk) 18:45, 23 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Absolute configuration

message: The pictures are COMPLETELY INCORRECT:
all four bonds are drawn as if they were directed toward the viewer, also the R and S molecules do not seem to be mirror images of each other. -- Leocat 12:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: They are not incorrect images as far as being demonstrations of stereo chemistry, "absolute" chemistry I have no idea, mostly because I do not take seriously any science topic if it is not first published in a reputable academic journal. What the image fails to explain is that functionality also plays a part, for instance, the reason for a human's right and left hands being a good example of non-super-imposable mirror image, is due to the function of bending your fingers. If your fingers didn't bend or didn't have finger nails on one side only, your hands would be super-imposable. If you question is serious Leocat, the image is correct, it is the entire topic that may be bunkDirtclustit (talk) 10:11, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

message: The absolute configuration section specifies that "If the center is oriented so that the lowest-priority of the four is pointed away from a viewer, the viewer will then see two possibilities: If the priority of the remaining three substituents decreases in clockwise direction, it is labeled R (for Rectus, Latin for right)"
This is inaccurate, as the linked Wikitionary page defines rectus as straight, not right.  I was told during my education that the rectus-right definition was used by Robert Sidney Cahn as an excuse to use his own initials, although I cannot find a source to back that up.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.20.224.78 (talk) 22:54, 19 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Meguro Line

message: There was a mention of the line being known as the, "Hiyoshi Line," as announced as such.  Although the entire article needs citations (most of which can likely easily be found from the Tokyu website or somewhere similar), this stood out as being flat-out incorrect, and as such I corrected it.  After riding this line quite frequently for the past year, I've not once heard it called anything other than 目黒線 (Meguro Line), commonly heard in Tokyu announcements and colloquial usage, or 東急目黒線 (Tokyu Meguro Line), commonly heard in announcements by other companies.  I see no reason why calling this line the "Hiyoshi Line" would draw anything other than blank stares or confusion from another person.  If someone wishes to put this reference back into the article, please include high quality citations.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.17.175.171 (talk) 01:21, 3 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Can everything that you can buy also be gotten purely though in-game actions? Is there anything about this game you can't get/do with the free version? --Lijnema (talk) 17:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, since nobody else is answering...I don't remember anything you absolutely had to pay for. I might be forgetting something (haven't played in a couple months), but I think you could get it all from other players with gold. Lots of gold. As for "free version," it's identical to the pay version. The pay element is in microtransactions where you pay for Chantra, in-game currency, to buy items with (which as I said, you can get from other people). If you pay for an Archlord box, what you are getting is the free version plus a few Chantra. That's what they gave everyone that bought the game, once they went free. --67.110.221.100 (talk) 05:21, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Set-aside

message: Someone who didn't sign his ID added :
"Nowadays, as-well as being used for this reason, it is also used to prevent food surpluses."
This is the percieved populist idea. The fact is, there was never a "food surplus". The grain mountains of 20 years ago reflected the reality of the Green Revolution in which increased world food production far outstripped the growth of world population, to the disappointment of the Erlich followers of economic pessimism.
That the corresponding fall in prices nearly bankrupted British farming luckily galvanised the EU to introduce set-aside in 1992 with a view to restoring farmers' income and making better use of taxpayers money.
I stated in the same sentence that set-aside is used as a political measure, there was therefore no need to add this phrase. Please restore or give good reason for its inclusion.Tomcrisp7 01:31, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: There is a confusion on the name used for this personality. Jean-Baptiste is indeed one of its Christian name but he was using in daily life the name of Joseph, according to the French usages of the time which required that the last name was the usual one. Joseph is already the name chosen by the French version of Wikipedia for the same character.
It was his younger brother who used the name of Jean-Baptiste. I don't know which source to give for that kind of info (Joseph de Villèle is called Joseph in most documents mentioning him so I don't know if that's enough and his brother Jean-Baptiste is a minor figure in La Réunion, not much has been written about him). In doubt, I just record that fact here if someone has more time to investigate the matter. I believe it would be necessary to change the name of this page as it means several people might think we're talking here about the brother. Priyankee (talk) 22:58, 15 December 2014 (UTC)
