Talk:Race to the bottom

message: This article seems overly academic, and more focused on price competition per se. The aspect that is NOT discussed (in a skim read at least) is the related loss in QUALITY, where products get streamlined to cut costs. 
Example I just ran into: mens web belts, where there is no longer a leather strip with punched holes to mate up with the fastener. They all now assume you'll poke the fastener tongue (right word?) thru the belt itself. I can't find anybody selling the earlier version, which is the quality I want. 
Which brings to mind an associated aspect: the stores (physical and online) all carry the same bottom level crap, there seems to be little quality differentiation (brand names for extra $ but little variation in actual product).

thread_title:  Missing Citations  

message: The piece might offer a deeper examination of the good sides of ethnocentrism, such as its significance in maintaining cultural identity and variety, even though it only briefly touches on them. Providing readers with authentic instances of ethnocentrism in a range of settings, such as media and films, would relate the subject and increase reader interest. To provide readers the most recent knowledge of ethnocentrism and its ramifications in modern society, it would also be beneficial to include research findings and studies on the subject. The article's educational value might also be increased by including solutions for overcoming ethnocentrism and advancing diversity, tolerance, and cultural understanding. In this way, readers would be equipped with useful advice and true success stories to counteract ethnocentrism in their own lives and communities. In short, although the piece provides a strong basis for understanding ethnocentrism, it may be made much better overall and have a greater educational impact by restructuring, adding additional examples, including latest research, and emphasizing practical solutions.

Talk:Zinc

message: According to the Periodic Table, zinc is known as a metal element with the atomic number 30 and its symbol is "Zn." The mineral zinc is the 24th most prevalent element to know in the crust of the Earth. You may polish it to a bright silver finish and give it a metallic grey tone. Natural deposits of zinc are a combination of chemicals rather than pure deposits. The zinc smelting process gives you an outcome of SHG Special high-grade Zinc. The most known end product of the above process is what you call zing ingot  
Zinc is a mineral that supports growth and the immune system in children. If you have a low level of zinc, there is a greater chance of you getting sick or developing a disease. Many biological functions rely on zinc for support. The reason is that it boosts the immune system, CaApromotes wound healing aids in childhood growth and development, and aids in the body's production of proteins and DNA. Moreover, zinc has amazing antioxidant properties. You can also find zinc as a dietary supplement.
Background of the Commodity Zinc According to numerous historical publications, including Greek, Roman, and Indian documents, as well as statuettes and other ornaments made of Zinc Ingots, the use of zinc dates back to the fifth century BC. In Palestine around the 14th century BC, brass, an alloy of copper and zinc, was utilized for the first time. Many people were successful in extracting pure zinc from the end of the 17th century until as late as the middle of the 18th century.
The Production of Metal Zinc
Mining The supply of zinc in the world consists of 70% mined zinc and 30% recycled zinc. Almost 95% of the mines in the world mine sulfidic ore deposits for their zinc, which is recovered from them. China is known as the largest maker of zinc in 2010. It accounts for nearly 29% of global production. The mining of zinc involves using conventional blasting and hauling techniques. There is also drilling in it. After the crushing of the ore, froth flotation is used to separate the zinc from other minerals. With this method, the final zinc concentration is around 50%; sulfur and iron make up the remainder.
Froth Flotation They usually synthesize zinc through the froth flotation process. Froth flotation is also known to reduce copper and lead ores. The zinc ore is first crushed into a fine powder, which is then mixed with water, pine tar, and flotation chemicals in the process. The flotation agents bind to any zinc particles that may be present when air adds to stir the liquid. Scrapers collect zinc-coated froth by snatching up rising bubbles with zinc-coated particles attached. The next step is the removal of oils and water from the foam through filtration. At 1371 degrees Celsius, the residual material roasts into solid blocks known as sinter. Zinc oxide creates completely of the entire substance.
Refining To refine zinc, there are mainly two known methods. The two methods are known as pyrometallurgy and hydrometallurgy. Dyder007 (talk) 11:49, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Basic theories of science

----
I have removed the descriptor "disputed" as it was added pertaining to Darwin's evolution. I submit that this controversial adjective should be only very conservatively used, that is to say, it is only appropriate in situations where there exists a genuine "live" controversy within the scientific community at that time. For instance "disputed" would be an accurate label to characterize the cold fusion debate in the late 1980's (not applicable today though). The "dispute" about evolution as it exists today is essentially totally removed from the scientific arena. It exists only between religious conservatives attacking the theory on nonscientific and superstitious grounds and those few willing to bother wasting their time to fight their nonsensical unfounded arguments. This situation of course deserves mention, but not in this article. --Deglr6328 01:33, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  New Film in this 2011 

message: A few weeks ago I happened upon an 'Analysis' section in the Yogi Bear article which struck me as being out of place given that it contained an application of Critical Theory to a subject not related to this field. Since Critical Theory is a decidedly non-neutral paradigm this was very much out of place in the article on a cartoon bear. I also noticed the section had been removed and re-instated several times with justifications which themselves violated NPOV by claiming that the material was relevant to the subject. I therefore added a note to the talk page for the article and removed the section with the admonition to justify a re-instatement in some way. The section was re-instated without justification so I removed it a second time, again asking for a justification why this clear NPOV violation should be upheld. Given the strange combination of subject matter - critical theory applied to cartoon figures - I decided to check whether this NPOV violation occurred in other articles, which it turned out it does. Since Wikipedia is not a political action platform these sections have no place here. I will therefore remove the 'Analysis' section with the stated justification. If another editor wants to revert this removal he or she should justify this in some way by explaining why an expression of political activism has a place in a Wikipedia entry on a cartoon figure.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yetanwiki (talk • contribs) 23:43, 6 July 2020 (UTC)
