Talk:Supermolecule

message: Please do not merge this page into supramolecular assembly or to any other page; this term is a stand-alone topic and very important in the history of the molecule, as the case with molecule, biomolecule, and macromolecule.  Thanks: --Sadi Carnot 16:56, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Note

message: I think recent definition of supermolecule is vague.  For instance a supermolecule “is any very large complex molecule” and that it “is generally considered to be bigger in size and structure than that of a macromolecule.”  However a macromolecule is defined as “The literal definition of the term macromolecule implies any large molecule.”  The definition of a macromolecule would therefore seem to include that of a supramolecule.  I have revised definition to clarify ambiguities of what “is” and “is not” a supermolecule. M stone 22:51, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, well let's try to find some better sources for the intro definition.  It seems you simply used my two sources, but modified the words to your views. --Sadi Carnot 16:02, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: * I agree that the current references are inadequate. They don't really address the term supermolecule but are instead more general references to the entire area of supramolecular chemistry.  I was unable to find any good reviews on the term. I look forward to seeing what you are able to dig up though! M stone 22:19, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Revised defintion 

message: I have looked more into the definition of supramolecule.  It seems that that the term is important because it predates the field of "supramolecular chemistry."  I suggest dumping most of the more speculative intro paragraph that compares the term to supramolecular assembly and emphasizing the historical significance.  I think that it would be better to state that the term is not well defined but is often used in a similar manner to supramolecular assembly.  M stone 20:45, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Calling one side "anti-imperialist" and the other side "imperialist" blatently falls into the POV of one side.

===In the aquarium===
*P. heterura can be found on certain online marine aquarium fish stores, but is not common. No reference? Wonder if needed.
*Other aquarium care issues? Compatability? etc. Recommend minor expansion of this section
===Other comments===
*No information on diet, reproduction, sexual dimorphism, predators? though my very limited searches suggest there's not a lot known about the species.

replies: text: Best is probably to redirect that page, with one line and no explanation of its relevance yet, to this page and add a paragraph that soon after Descartes' death a fable arouse that he had made an automaton that he referred to as his daughter and why that fable arose. I didn't read the whole texts in the references, but it sounds like it arose for similar reasons as the fable that Darwin recanted his work on his deathbed. Afasmit (talk) 22:49, 6 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Dane

message: Why is this person notable? The article does not seem to make any claim that he was, or that his own life was anything other than the ordinary life of an average  minister of religion. He was in the vicinity when the Salem trials were underway, but was not a part of them, and was not accused himself. He seems to have done nothing beyond signing a letter many other people signed. Several of his relatives were accused; that makes them notable, not him. We seem to have an article for him only for some kind of genealogical completeness. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 18:07, 16 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Glisson

message: How is Ron Glisson noteworthy?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sidp (talk • contribs) 17:30, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Famous descendant(s)? 

message: Originally the article stated that Glisson was born in Rampisham in 1597, although no citation was given for this information. Then in 2008 in this edit it was changed to Bristol in 1599?, with a citation provided from the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography. However I have a copy of Sir Frederick Treves' 1905 publication Highways and Byways in Dorset, which also says he was born in Rampisham in 1597. I wonder what to make of this. I wouldn't say that Treves was wholly reliable about everything in his book, but he was also a surgeon and lived a little closer to Glisson's time. Plus it seems a little strange to believe—as the article currently requires us to—that Glisson was born in Bristol but then moved to Rampisham (a small village with no history of an educational establishment that I am aware of) to be educated. Can anyone shed any light? PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 00:50, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Point of information: a bit of research has revealed that there was a school at Rampisham, but as it was designed by Pugin (19th century), the general question remains. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 02:36, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: This BMJ article states he was the second son of William Glisson of Rampisham, which implies his family resided there when he was born. It also states 1597. PaleCloudedWhite (talk) 13:09, 31 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Birthplace / birthdate 

message: Currently there's nothing here but the major academic feud between Alexander Monro Secundus/Junior and William Hunter over priority in understanding the nature of the lymphatic system ended in discovering that Francis Glisson had already figured it out and published a century earlier. Obviously that needs to be added here. See, i.a.,

message: I have removed this paragraph
Because, it is sourced and the following link East Bridgford St Peter: Monuments and Memorials does not support the last sentence and although "Colonel Francis Hacker, parliamentarian and regicide (3)" by H. L. Hubbard, B.A., Transactions of the Thoroton Society, 45, 1941, supports some of it, it does not support the "down what has now been named Hacker's Close.", further this unreliable sources ("Newark-on-Trent, Nottinghamshire: East Bridgford") says "East Bridgford, between Nottingham and Newark, ... villagers must have witnessed close at hand the conflict of the Civil Wars. The local family of Hackers whose home, the Old Manor is still occupied, were deeply involved on both sides. Indeed Francis Hacker, ..."

Talk:Franklin Benjamin Sanborn

message: A proposal for integrating his involvement at Greenacre for an inclusion here:Sanborn's first talk at Greenacre was “The Humane treatment of Mental and Spiritual Aberrations” in 1894, (ed - I believe his involvement in mental health issues in the US is substantial and worthy of expansion in the article) and was the beginning of a long collaboration at the institution founded as a summer vacation and encounter school for people interested in religions and spiritual or philosophical ideals. In 1896 Sanborn organized an "Emerson Day" (after Ralph Waldo Emerson), which continued for more than a decade, and that year he also organized a formal reunion of the Concord School of Philosophy, originally organized in 1879 to hallmark and develop transcendentalist ideas in America. Sanborn was working for a "creation of a new shrine" for transcendentalism akin to reforming the Concord School at Greenacre and used his coverage of the work at Greenacre in newspaper stories to frame that development. However the direction of development at Greenacre became a controversy largely between three factions - Sarah Farmer, the founder, who had become involved in the Bahá'í Faith, Professor Lewis G. Janes who ran the summer school's academically oriented comparative religions program, and Sanborn. Sanborn then sided with Janes against Farmer and the involvement of the Bahá'ís. Tensions began to peak around 1913 when a change in the by-laws was feared to take control of Greenacre through legalistic means. Sanborn published arguments over rights of access and Sanborn's wife was one of the proposed guardians of Farmer's interests while she was in ill-health, a position the courts ultimately ruled against in 1916, though after her death Sanborn also called for an official inquiry into the matter. However when Farmer died the legal basis for the Bahá'ís interests controlling Green Acre, as it was initially named in their orientation to the school, became a bitter epitath for the field of transcendentalism. However the mutual interest in race relations and advocacy for African-Americans continued at the institution. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smkolins (talk • contribs) 13:03, 22 September 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Francis Tresham

message: As early as 1586 he is mentioned as frequenting the French Ambassador's house with Lady Elizabeth Strange, Lady Compton, and other Catholics.
He lived an extravagant and restless life in London; by 1593 he was already one of the circle at Essex House, young men of fashion, 'hunger-starved for innovations'.  In this year his debts were such that he was in danger of great losses unless he could have 1000 pounds immediately. Parrot of Doom 15:02, 3 October 2010 (UTC)

message: The changes introduced by "A. S.

Obviously it was an unabashed attempt to promote that book. Please check the Spanish version of this article if you wish to read an equilibrated, slightly expanded version.

text: Good point. The expression actually means "narrow-locked" canal, the width of the locks dictating the maximum width of the craft that can use them. See History of the British canal system. The majority of the British canals are "narrow" in this sense. I agree the definition is hard to find within Wikipedia. It probably belongs within the canal article and I will eventually fix it unless someone gets there before me.--Shantavira|feed me 06:09, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
