message: As of 7th September 2022 there were nineteen living members of the order, including Prince Charles, leaving five slots vacant. On 8th September Queen Elizabeth died and thus Charles ascended to the throne, his honours merging with the crown. On 11th November six appointments were announced by King Charles, the choices having been made in September by Queen Elizabeth. I have not seen any comment on the obvious arithmetic problem here - Her Majesty made six new appointments when there was only space for five. Does this mean she knew she would be dead before the end of the year? Robin S. Taylor (talk) 21:31, 14 August 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Tyzenhauz Palace

message: I remember seeing this building when I was in Vilnius. It is somewhat ran down by now, and as many palaces inside city limits it was turned into an apartment block during Soviet era, but the official designation of it is still palace, this is how the building is mentioned in the tourist books and other materials (such as registry of architectural landmarks). This is because it was built as a palace of a wealthy Tyzenhaus family and so the name stuck. Thus I renamed an article by the name the building is most commonly known by.

Talk:Ibrahim 'Ali Salman

message: This article has been initiated by David Haberlah 06/2005.
All information on the Manasir supplied by the user David Haberlah results from his field research in Dar al-Manasir in February and March 2005 as a member of the team of Humboldt University Nubian Expedition (H.U.N.E.).  H.U.N.E. is headed by the directors Prof. Dr. CLAUDIA NÄSER and  Prof. Dr. FRANK KAMMERZELL of the Seminar of Northeast African Archaeology and Cultural Studies primarily responsible for conducting salvage archaeology on the islands of Shiri, Sherari, Sur and Us, and the left bank of the Nile between Salamat and Gebel Musa. In addition H.U.N.E. decided to launch a subproject dealing with the culture of the native Manasir.
This ethnographical research has been financed by the "Programm Kulturerhalt" of the German Department of Foreign Affairs as a contribution to the preservation of the culture of the Manasir. All Manasir living in their homeland Dar al-Manasir are going to be relocated as a result of the flooding of the Hamdab High Dam in the coming years. There is an urgent need for further anthropological research and programs of cultural preservation. The initial author David Haberlah hopes that the nature of Wikipedia will attract both researchers and Manasir to expand the freely available information and knowledge about the Manasir tribe.
I would like to encourage everybody to list academic articles concerning Dar al-Manasir that cannot be published on the Internet here. A copy of new articles should be submitted to the Sudanese National Library to be available to the Sudanese public. In case that you can provide material about the Manasir that does not suit the requirements of Wikipedia, Wikisource or Wikimedia please contact H.U.N.E., who is running the Hompage of Dar al-Manasir.

Just wonderng if anyone has any info on The Monument? It's an absolutely huge obelisk (60-80ft approx?) situated behind the trees bordering the old birmingham road directly opposite the petrol station in Lickey. Even though I have lived in the vilage all my life I don't really know what its there for, though what I can remember of the inscription reads "to commend to imitation the exemplary private virtues of Other Archer 6th Earl of Plymouth". Like I say its a pretty huge thing and I don't know what an Earl of Plymouth has to do with Lickey. Cheers!

* Rerefences are needed
* No mention  of the age or notability  of the horse trough is provided.

Talk:List of Star Wars sectors

message: I think that this article should not be deleted because some of the most important things in the star wars universe are planets. When the planets are split up into sectors, they become easier to locate and people can figure out and know where they are better. Also, if this star wars project thing is trying to make an encyclopedia of star wars, then deleting the section of sectors deletes a big part of that encyclopedia. Those are the reasons why I think that this article should not be deleted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kyan93 (talk • contribs) 05:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

- homework problems. Charles Matthews 10:49, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

message: The article states On the other hand, if the edges are undirected, the problem of deleting edges to make the graph cycle-free is equivalent to finding a minimum spanning tree, which can be done easily in polynomial time.
Why is this?  If we consider the example given in the introduction as an undirected graph, then the any spanning tree would need two edges, but removing a single edge would still suffice to break the cycle. 129.240.70.72 11:22, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: This should be incorporated here:
* The ryanodine receptor is named after the plant alkaloid ryanodine. It is similar to the InsP3 receptor and stimulated to transport Ca2+ into the cytosol by recognizing Ca2+ on its cytosolic side, thus establishing a feedback mechanism; a small amount of Ca2+ in the cytosol near the receptor will cause it to release even more Ca2+. It is especially important in neurons and muscle cells. In heart and pancreas cells, another second messenger (cyclic ADP ribose) takes part in the receptor activation. 
The localized and time-limited activity of Ca2+ in the cytosol is also called a Ca2+ wave. The building of the wave is done by 
* the feedback mechanism of the ryanodine receptor and 
* the activation of phospholipase C by Ca2+, which leads to the production of inositol triphosphate, which in turn activates the InsP3 receptor.

Talk:Salary

message: The article previously had a reference to Pliny the Elder giving an etymology of the word. I'm using the same reference the false quote linked to - specifically Section 89
http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/L/Roman/Texts/Pliny_the_Elder/31*.html
In this, Pliny the Elder claims the origin of the word can be seen in the "Salary of the way". He links it to "largess of the Emperor" ("congiario") which are gifts typically given to soldiers after a campaign, not payment. In this case he specifically mentions Ancus Marcius, 4th king of Rome, giving salt and food to "populis" ("the people" rather than specifically soldiers) when taking the salt works (presumably this refers to those at Ostia that Ancus Marcius took, though it's not mentioned by name in this text) and Ostia wasn't a military conquest.
Pliny the Elder is linking a one-time gift to pre-republic people with the term, not the regular pay of imperial soldiers. For context, the Empire replaced the Republic, and the Republic replaced the Kingdom. The one-time gift was during the Kingdom era, Pliny the Elder was speaking during the Empire, roughly 600 years after the event he was referencing.
I have removed the bad translation for now. If someone feels Pliny the Elder's folk etymology is relevant, please add it in with a correct translation, not claims of soldiers, nor of being "paid in salt".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.166.55.11 (talk) 18:52, 7 July 2021 (UTC)
