Talk:Stream capture

message: Of the two terms, river capture and Stream capture, the latter, stream capture, is the more common usage in geology. So if there is to be a merger, I would suggest merging "river capture" into "stream capture" rather than the other way around. Cheers Geologyguy 15:20, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Only being the most amateur of geomorphologists, I'm not in a position to judge, but in my experience I've only heard the term as "river capture"...  Is this more a British usage perhaps?--Richard New Forest 17:12, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That could be.  I don't feel strongly about it, given the capability of redirects. But I do agree that they should not stay separate articles, as they represent the same thing. Cheers Geologyguy 18:43, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Hello, Richard, thanks for doing this. The only suggestion I have is, rather than request deletion of Stream capture, to just redirect it to the River capture page. That way those who input "Stream capture" in the search box will be taken to "River capture" rather than to a "no page exists" page. cheers Geologyguy 18:34, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

message: 1. Need a more detailed map showing the islands of Prajurit, Sangiang, and Ular.
2. Need updated text that no longer refers to 2011 in the future tense.

4. Other Considerations section includes sea traffic but the notorious currents in the strait are not mentioned anywhere in the article. They would affect construction efforts.
5. Geopolitical considerations are relevant, because there is often rivalry among Japan, China, Korea (JCK) that results in "balancing" of projects to satisfy the hunger of those three countries. Martindo (talk) 18:34, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

:To the extent that these resolutions impinge upon Iran's sovereign rights, they may be ultra vires and non-binding.The Legality of UNSC Resolutions on Iran
The reference appears to be a blog. Isn't Resolution 1696 binding under Article 103 (essentially the supremacy clause) of the UN Charter? Captain Zyrain 15:39, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Article 103 applies only to conflicts between treaties and UNSC resolutions. Iran's right to nuclear technology is not derived from any treaty. That's why countries which didn't sign the NPT also have a perfectly legal right todevelop nuclear technology.

Talk:Seeing Is Believing

message: "Seeing is believing is an idiom first recorded in this form in 1639..."
I wouldn't say it's an idiom. An idiom is a figure of speech that metaphorically means something else, like the saying "piece of cake", which metaphorically means "totally easy." "Seeing is believing" is more like an axiom.
In what absolute way is this an axiom? An axiom is an un-argued-for postulate or presupposition of reasoning. See, for example, the Peano axioms. This is a proverb, but isn't entirely incorrectly identified as an idiom. it IS entirely incorrectly identified as an axiom.65.183.81.158 (talk) 05:28, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree that the above list is too short...that is why the oppidum article lists more locations in Germany. You might want to add a link to Heidetrank to that list. But overall, since the use of oppidum is derived from Caesar, and he clearly used it to describe those places he had observed first hand (i.e. those in existence in the 1st century BC), this definition does make sense. It certainly seems to be the favoured one in archaeological texts (at least those I have seen recently). Also, note that the paragraph that refers to Glauberg as an oppidum in the oppidum article is not sourced.Drow69 (talk) 16:51, 10 January 2017 (UTC)

Wallace Beltsville Agricultural Research Center in Maryland and the U.S. Sheep Experiment Station near Dubois, Idaho. The Beltsville station contains the main building of the National Agricultural Library. The United States National Arboretum in Washington, DC is a division of the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center. 
The original text is stated without citation and "experiment stations" is an incorrect term.  I will be adding some facts about USDA run research centers along with citations and editing for clarity.

A statement by an apostle in 1970 does not qualify as a current or an official church position.  Even if that same apostle made the same statement today, it would not be an official position.

:Hi. I've been busy, but haven't forgotten. Let me start by saying your effort is appreciated.
:The primary issue is that what streets a road crosses (except for in some cases perhaps one or two particularly notable ones) might not be encyclopedic information. Having said that, it might be notable in this case as they're the historical roads linking Brussels to the rest of Belgium. In the R21's case, the cross-streets probably aren't notable enough.
:In this case, at least, I would be in favour of moving the infobox down to the portion of the article where the roads are discussed. That way the labels are more clear. What do you think?

Talk:Nick Abadzis

message: I have been contacted with the message that Nick Abadzis is concerned about the accuracy/tone of some of the content of the bio. I had some concerns myself about parts of it but hadn't had time to dig into it properly and it appears all this stems from one edit by an anonymous IP , so I have removed the lot  and will add some of it back in and others can too if they like - as long as it abides by WP:NPOV and WP:RS (and spelling - all of which that addition was lacking). Before that I reverted another edit  because it was a one-shot account, that indiscriminately removed a large block of text with no explanation and for no clear reason - if they were trying to fix the problems I'm working to address then it was badly handled and seemed to throw the baby out with the bath water - the core of the information seems solid it was just badly phrased and went beyond what seems to be provable from the sources available.
Anyway this is just an explanation for the edits in case anyone was wondering. (Emperor (talk) 18:57, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
