Talk:Big Ben (Heard Island)

message: What are some interesting facts about Big Ben volcano. Could some science nerd tell me a ninth grader in short what they are?
thanx, much appreciated
this is sooo true!!
:As for some interesting facts, let me quote the article:
:Big Ben is a volcanic massif that dominates the geography of Heard Island.  It is a composite cone with a diameter of approximately 25 kilometres.  Its highest peak is Mawson Peak, the only active volcano in Australian territory which is 2,745 m above sea level.  Much of it is covered by ice, including 12 major glaciers which descend from Big Ben to the sea.
:A smaller volcanic headland, the Laurens Peninsula, extends approximately 10 km to the northwest, created by a separate volcano, Mount Dixon; its highest point is Anzac Peak, a m.
:You may also like to look at the other articles linked to above, particularly Heard Island, and the external link.  HTH. -- ALoan (Talk) 21:42, 14 August 1982 (UTC)

Talk:Charmy Bee

message: I've noticed this on several articles, where "Charmy Bee" is his name, one of "Four main characters to have a last name. (Article on Dr. Eggman, in the Trivia section.)" I want to challenge that. Just as in Sonic the Hedgehog, Charmy's Sega name is Charmy the Bee. We can't consider Hedgehog to be Sonic's last name, so how would Bee be Charmy's last name?

text: The Musicbrainz article describes the Musicbrainz service. It's fine to show their logo on that article. Doesn't imply endorsement, we're just illustrating their logo for readers. But there is a difference between the Musicbrainz article and hundreds of articles on musical albums and artists. An external link to Musicbrainz signifies that Wikipedia believes it's a useful resource - that's fine, if it is actually useful. Having an image on only the musicbrainz link implies that Wikipedia endorses MB above all other external links. It's the same as making the link bold, or green, or something.

Category talk:Statistics

message: Please could a category be put in for Statistical Forecasting?
There are a large number of quantitative forecasting techniques including exponential smoothing, ARMA, and a great many more, plus many other things to say about this topic. 
I note there is aready an article about ARMA http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARMA but it does not connect with entering "forecasting" in the search box. Similarly the article about "time series" does not connect. 
I would expect after typing in "forecasting" to be offered the choice of "Statistical Forecasting" and any other types of forecasting. The Statistical Forecasting article would offer links to the many different quantitative forecasting techniques. 
Currently typing "forecasting" in the search box gets you redirected to an article called "Prediction", which is like being redirected to "Astrology" when you enquire about "Astronomy"!
I do not know how to make the changes I have suggested, otherwise I would do it myself. 
Thanks,

Template talk:Beastie Boys

message: Detailing all of the constituent sections of the song "B-Boy Bouillabaisse" in group5 = Other songs as was done in this edit breaks proper line break behaviour due to the nesting of a very long item in a list. This breakage (or rather non-breakage, as this causes excessively long unbroken lines which cause an excessively wide template box, which is a problem for users of e.g. 1024x768 displays), again, this breakage was introduced through the addition of this line:
* "B-Boy Bouillabaisse" ("59 Chrystie Street" "Get on the Mic" "Year and a Day" "Hello Brooklyn" "Dropping Names" "Mike on the Mic" "A.W.O.L.")
I am commenting out the constituent sections to avoid these formatting problems. If anyone can find a better solution that is also compatible with smaller monitors, have at it. But don't edit the sections back in without fixing the formatting problem. I.e. don't just reintroduce the formatting trouble. 31.18.253.188 (talk) 16:17, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

message: Statement 1:
When not controlled, water hyacinth will cover lakes and ponds entirely; this dramatically impacts water flow, blocks sunlight from reaching native aquatic plants, and starves the water of oxygen, often killing fish (or turtles).
Statement 2:
Water hyacinth is often problematic in man-made ponds if uncontrolled, but can also provide a food source for gold fish, keep water clean [3] [4] and help to provide oxygen[citation needed] to man-made ponds.
Neither of these claims are backed by sources, and they contradict each other.
