message: The article says that the hot blast process enabled the use of coal rather than coke in the blast furnace process for making iron. I don't understand this, as the purpose of coking the coal was to remove impurities that wrecked the quality of the iron, and you still need to tip bulk carbon in to reduce the iron whether the air blast is hot or cold...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.53.69.150 (talk) 18:09, 23 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Biofuel applications of botryococcene

message: An unsigned edit, from 137.131.204.44 (Scripps Research Institute), reversed the sense of the claim that it was likely that a higher producing variety of Bb could be produced. This editor suggests that Bb has a slow reproduction rate. I suggest that it is relative, and encourage this anonymous producer to identify themselves, their qualifications, and defend their edit. I do not claim to be an expert microbiologist, but I have spent some time researching Bb.

Talk:Fuente Álamo de Murcia

message: I do not consider the word 'hermitage' to be the correct one for describing this building. This word must have been translated from the Spanish word 'ermita'.
The meaning of ermita is: "Capilla o santuario, generalmente pequeños, situados por lo común en despoblado y que no suelen tener culto permanente." (http://www.rae.es/search/node/ermita). The translation of it could be "Chapel or shrine, usually small and often located in deserted areas. In this kind of buildings, there are not worship activities constantly in most cases".
The meanings in English that I found are: (https://www.wordreference.com/definition/hermitage)
    1.the habitation of a hermit.
    2.any secluded place of residence or habitation;
    retreat;
    hideaway.
    3.Fine Art(cap.) a palace in Leningrad built by Catherine II and now used as an art museum.
I think that there is not an English word corresponding totally with the Spanish word 'ermita' and when I translate that word I usually use 'little church', 'chapel' of 'little shrine'.

message: I've been tracing Ibo's career since he just started to study for his grade 8 keyboard test. I had 
the previliage to sing in a pop contest in 1970 sponsored by the then Jamaica Festival  department. In my half way soon to be publish book "Dance Hall" I list him as the only keyboard player to match the late Winston "Filth" Wright. Who uses the keyboard as a multiple instrument eg. big chords suntain riffs, and clean shuffelling. I hope to buck him again soon whenever I touch down to Jam Rock again. I want him to play on a few songs for me. His teaching abilities should do a great deal for the next generation.

Talk:Michael Baum (surgeon)

message: Since Michael Baum is a medical scientist of note, it stands to reason he is critical towards homeopathy, like thousands upon thousands of other scientists, and I don't think the reader needs a 270-word quote that tells us so while not really conveying any useful or interesting message beyond "homeopathy is bogus". It doesn't even belong to "strong criticisms of homeopathy", because he merely says homeopathy is useless rather than fraudulent.

Talk:Bozo Miller

message: I've changed his age at death to 89 and his year of birth to 1918, taking out the possibility of 1908. Four major reliable newspapers, the WSJ, the Washington Post, the Telegraph, and the Philadelphia Inquirer, have each independently corroborated the fact that he was not 99 and was not born in 1908. There is also a blog post on the WaPost website discussing the fact that Bozo Miller lied about his age, and other newspapers and media sources have corrected their obits to reflect Mr. Miller's true age. 
You'd think that after the fiascos of Bill Henry and Paul Vance's impersonators and Al Lewis's many, many lies, reporters would be more careful and not take the family's word for it. Often (as in Henry's and Vance's cases), the family has been lied to as well. --NellieBly (talk) 02:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
