message: The page asks Has this been measured (wrt neutrino mass).  This page  has a summary of recent experimental findings on neutrino mass.

thread_title: Edit plus bot

message: In the section "definition" there is a long paragraph starting with "Many pesticides can be grouped into chemical families." This paragraph comprises of a detailed description of the use, toxicology and history of classes of insectides, which are all old, and centering on the organochlorines, which were banned decades ago. There is too much detail for a section on definition. The information is repeated in the pages on "insecticide", "herbicide", and it is long out of date. If there are no objections I will replace the whole paragraph with one or two sentences, mentioning that pesticides can be classified into structural classes, which relate to their classification into their modes of action, as usual adding links and references.

thread_title:  Costs 

message: In the section on "types" there is a sub-section on "insecticides" with information on 3 classes. Similarly in the sub-section on "herbicides" a few classes are discussed. This is not encyclopedic, since according to IRAC there are more than 30 modes of action, not including sub-types. Also this is too much detail for the overreaching topic "pesticide", and it is better to include it in the "insecticide" and "herbicide" pages. If there is no objection by Jan. 7th 2024 I will move the text in these subsections without alteration to the corresponding subsections in the pages "insecticide" and "herbicide" Bosula (talk) 13:11, 27 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: That makes sense. I think on this page it's better just to mention in text that there are multiple modes of action for each type of pesticide without going into exhaustive examples of each while leaving that for the specific pesticide's page.

Talk:Mode X

message: Removed reference to 640x400 in 256 colours being possible, and reverted to correct 360x480.
The contributor may have mistaken the fact that the VGA has enough VRAM to provide a 256 colour
640x400 mode with the fact that the VGA doesn't have enough memory bandwidth to display such a mode.
Nominally, the VGA can display 720 pixels and 480 lines in 16 colours.  256 colour modes require 2 dot clocks
as there is twice the bits per pixel as in the 16-colour mode.  This reduces the highest supported horizontal width to 360 pixels.  While it is true that these specs can be exceeded by taking the video timing outside of specification I doubt any monitor could sync to to the very low refresh rate that would be needed to make a 640x400 mode possible, and besides it would be eye-wateringly, headache inducingly bad.
Funkymonkey Thu 10 Nov, 2005
:640x400 should still be possible though; it DOES have enough VRAM. However, the physical resolution of it is 1280x400. Ignoring retrace, you'd get a max vertical refresh rate of 49.4140625 Hz. (And I know this post is ancient, BTW.) --thematrixeatsyou 05:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands

message: To whom it may concern: I created a new article at , since the information about the archipelago was scattered in various articles about SGSSI and not found at a single coherent place. The article was assembled from South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, History of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and  does not contain any new material. 
In the near future I intend to:
* Merge Traversay Islands, Candlemas Islands and Southern Thule into South Sandwich Islands - it just isn't logical to have articles about subgroups of islands. Despite apparent length, those articles do not provide much information not present elsewhere, and just regurgitate articles about their component islands.
* Rename History of South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands to History of South Georgia. SGSSI has been a thing only since 1985, and all of that article is really a history of South Georgia. South Sandwich Islands barely have any history to write about, and I copied as much in South Sandwich Islands#History (it will also have some additional contents once subgroup articles are merged.

message: I find some of the claims about being the second oldest higher education institution west of the Mississippi a bit dubious, but I’m unsure where to find better information.

replies: text: Found several references for the claim so added it back in since it is a very notable addition now that it is cited. I am no expert in early-mid 1800s education system but that does appear true to other colleges and universities of the time, starting as boarding schools. I did a quick google search on 1800s higher ed and found that was considered higher education at the time and many of those institutions expanded into what we know today as time went on. It also fits with several other Wikipedia articles such as History of higher education in the United States where the Nineteenth century Curriculum details that "Many students were younger than 17" and it was essentially a liberal arts education with older teenagers as well as boarding school girls mixed into the same curriculum. --Bhockey10 (talk) 23:18, 10 April 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Subjective case

message: I always thought the reason that they keep subjective and nominative distinct was because the English "nominative" acts differently from the general nominative; this is visible in examples such as "Who wants some cake?" "Me!". If English had a pure nominative, that answer would be "I". However, in English, it shows up as "me" because that generally ends up as the default when the pronoun is not used as the subject of an actual stated sentence ("I do", in this case). I would think this alone would make it important to distinguish between nominative and subjective. -Branddobbe
:Actually, my impression is that it's simply a matter of convention. "Nominative" is traditionally used for languages which have true cases (unlike English), while "subjective" is used for languages like English and the Romance languages, where case has become vestigial, and appears only in a small number of function words, such as pronouns.
:The subjective case is the term preferred by English grammarians for the nominative case.
