message: The discussion of "genetic drift" is completely out of place. Evolutionary processes are not attempts to estimate some factor in a population. Natural disasters that radically diminish a biological population is not a selection process that can be said to be "in error". This is not an appropriate topic for this information.

thread_title:  Genetic drift

message: Just flagging, in case someone else can attend to any of these before I do.  
The article needs a head (e.g. first sentence of section 1.1).  
References/citations need some cleaning up.  
It needs a better/simpler example, something more familiar to most readers, e.g. a survey.
Perhaps add a picture or two to illustrate how a sample can differ from a population.  
The section on non-sampling errors is just copied from that article - remove it and place a link in "see also"?

message: I've added a photo of a Moro bar I bought in Stourbridge yesterday. It seems to be an Irish import (the return address is Dublin, with no UK address added, and Woolworths etc in the UK are still stocking only Starbars), but as can be seen the wrapper is most certainly not blue, so I've deleted that information from the article until someone can produce evidence (prefarably a photo) of a blue Irish Moro.

*I also took out the sentence explaining that it uniquely allows the rendering of custom key signatures. F/S/D all do this.
*The Mention of its use on Hymnary.org contains a citation that has no mention of its use of NWC files. If you go into the listing of an individual hymn, you can find an NWC file on most of the pages I tried, a better citation would be good. I checked Hymnary's official blog for any reference to this around 2015 (when it was accessed according to this citation) and found none. If no citation is found being more explicit about its use of NWC files, would it be more appropriate to remove that citation?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ehler (talk • contribs) 01:50, 1 June 2020 (UTC)

I'm not sure if the UK section is, strictly speaking, accurate. It sounds correct for England and Wales, but Scotland has a separate education system. In my school (... in Scotland) we just had "Registration Class", and I have never heard of "Tutour Groups", and only heard of "Forms" as an English phenomenon. Darien Shields 01:27, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Registration (class)" would seems to be equivalent of "Homeroom" in England and Wales, or at least my experience in England, as well as Scotland. How long Registration lasted seemed to depend on that school. . However, as well as the short registration before morning and afternoon there were also "form periods" or "form lessons" to deal with administrative matters usually at the start or end of term and especially at the start of the school year.Jojas 12:42, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Comments

message: The UK section was still inaccurate, it did not apply to any school that I know of. To cover all bases, I refrained from specific 'they last this long this many times a week' type statements and made a general overview. Whilst it may be true that form groupings were used for some of the non-ability-setted classes, this is down to timetabling of each school and is not necessarily the case, at any rate it is a property of a form group and not the homeroom (or registration/tutorial time) and so was removed.

Talk:Possessive of Jesus

message: since nothing really links here, and it treats the same issue as Jesu, couldn't it be merged there, or maybe to a title inflection of Jesus or similar? Also, is "Jesu heart", or any other genitive construction with Jesu really used in English , at all? It is common in German, but German hasn't lost its case system; In Modern English, I only ever found Jesu used as vocative; Not even the 1611 KJV uses Jesu. Wycliffe (that's Middle English) does use Jhesu, but I haven't found an instance of 'naked' genitive along the lines of 'Jesu heart' even there; Wycliffe would say 'the hearte of Jhesu'. I grant you that the vocative is fairly common, but I suspect even that was re-imported via the Bach cantata, since KJV never uses Iesu, even in the vocative. What is called "Herz Jesu" in German is known as 'Sacred Heart' in English. Can you quote any English hymn or prayer that talks about "Jesu heart"? 83.76.218.123 21:33, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not an archaism: the modern spelling is Jesus', and it is pronounced as two syllables, indistinct from the name itself. The addition to the name of the apostophe, without a trailing s, signifies that it shouldn't be pronounced as three syllables. In modern English, apostrophe-only possesives are usually only formed for plural nouns where the plural ends in s (e.g. busses', but women's). This also applies to names -- Mrs Thomas's car (Thomas's is three syllables), but the Thomases' family car (still three syllables). However, there is a tradition that certain 'classical' names that end in s break this rule: they add apostrophe only in the singular and do not add an extra syllable -- Socrates' cup and Jesus' disciples. --Gareth Hughes 17:40, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Certainly the pronunication of 's would add an extra syllable, but that is exactly how the possessive is spoken in everyday English, that is, outside the poetic and reverential contexts which Fowler refers to.  One might say Achilles' heel, but never Marcus' hat, which has less to do with the history of the words and more to do with the phonetics.  Colloquially the possessive of the nominative Jesus is spoken as three syllables, best represented as Jesus's.  I have never heard the allegedly 'correct' possessive pronounced as two syllables.  That tradition may have died; it's just taking a while for the written possessive to catch up.

message: The raw claim of this article that Jesus' is the correct way to form the possessive in English and that Jesus's is simply incorrect is a flat contradiction of reality.

Talk:Daoyin

message: Is Tai Chi mag a reliable source? --Simon D M (talk) 18:57, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

message: "Tao yin (sometimes referred to as Taoist yoga) is a series of exercises (mainly in lying and sitting positions, but also in standing positions) practiced by Taoists to cultivate ch'i, the internal energy of the body according to Traditional Chinese Medicine.[1]"
I guess things could get complicated, if someone were to claim "in this ancient tao yin text most of the exercises are lying and sitting; therefore most tao yin exercise are lying and sitting". I don't know if that is true, but even if it were, it would, at most, a secondary consideration, largely beside the point.
Dao Yin is a living tradition with some very ancient exercises, such as 5 animal play, being practiced in parks in East and West. Ask teachers, and I think they will tell you that dao yin exercise are performed standing or walking, or at least the most typical and representative ones.
Also, cultivating chi can be described as a secondary concern. The main focus is on gently lengthening physical tissues, which in turn improves chi flow through the medridians and, as the tissues slowly become unbound and able to move with greater coherence, this generates increased chi flow at a deeper level. Moving this chi with the Mind/Intent is not the focus; softening the body enough that chi is generated there in the fist place (which can then be moved about with the Mind/Intent if if this is required for a particular purpose), is the focus.
So the information in the article is not very good.
Perhaps some of the confusion comes from things such as, in choosing Tao Yin exercises to present to the West, people such as Mantak Chia may have focussed on sitting ang lying exercises. On page 18 of "Energy Balance Through the Tao", Destiny Books, 2005, (previously published under the title "Tao Yin"), Mantak Chia explains that "while there are wonderful standing and moving sequences of Tao Yin practice", he chose to present only lying and sitting positions because he felt that better complemented the standing and walking Tai Chi and Chi Kung exercises that he presented elsewhere as part of the system he teaches.77.98.32.90 (talk) 12:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)

We just got done splitting out Final Fight 2 and Final Fight 3 into their own articles, and it seems that Mighty Final Fight will likely get it's own article soon-- it seems silly to merge Final Fight CD back into Final Fight after all that effort to separate out the sequels and other ports. Finally, deleting this article is inappropriate when what really would need to be done would be to make this article a redir to Final Fight (this is assuming a consensus agree on merging).

message: I do not understand why the sea level must have been 3000m lower in former times in order to form submarine canyons. The deepest is 1km. Did the author mean 3000ft?
One other thing:
"Canyons may have been carved by turbidity currents, or dense, sediment-laden currents triggered by earthquake which flow down the continental margin." sound definitely wrong. I changed this to "Canyons may have been carved by turbidity currents (dense, sediment-laden currents which flow down the continental margin, triggered e.g. by earthquakes)", because a turbidite current is just what the next words discribe. The meaning of "Submarine canyon" is an underwater canyon.
Kind regards, Heiko Evermann 22:12, 22 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: We don't need to postulate such extreme changes in sea level. The likely explanation for the initiation of most canyons, is that they start by slumping on the slopes themselves forming a 'gouge'. The gouged area then migrates up the slope by progressive slumping of the material above it, the headwall to the slump. Eventually, it reaches the shelf and continues to cut back into that by continued 'headward erosion' as the steep canyon sides progressively collapse. This explains why they are not always associated with rivers. They are further eroded by fast-moving turbidity currents. I'll try to add all this into the article, when I get the time, but the reference that I just added has some good information. The image that I just added shows five canyons, of which only the Hudson is connected to a river. Mikenorton (talk) 21:34, 26 January 2012 (UTC)
