thread_title:  Is it a hare or a rabbit? 

message: Stephen Gould wrote a chapter on the interpretations of paintings now lost.  Various icons were inserted in paintings to represent notions, such as a dog in a wedding scene to represent loyalty.  The 'fighting temmerine', shows that ship being drawn up the thames to be broken up, but the masts and light rigging, and the sunset are not so much historical accuracies, but that one age has passed and a new one has come.
The hare here is meant to represent speed. It's a hare, since rabbits were never used as markers of speed.  Wendy.krieger (talk) 13:30, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Late Roman military

message: I created this page because the structure of the various Roman military articles made cross-referencing nearly impossible. Several other articles need to refer to the Crisis-Era and Late Roman military, including weapons, tactics, organization, campaigns, logistics, etc. without reference to any earlier Roman military material. Under the older system they must reference several different Roman military articles, and all the relevent material is buried at the very end. Jacob Haller 11:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Self-assembly

message: I think that this page is in need of a severe facelift. I am a researcher in nanoscale self-assembled systems and would be happy to improve the page a bit. Contributions from people other fields would be welcome though as self-assembly is a widespread term in chemistry, physics biology and materials sciences. I think that the page should contain some more examples of both synthetic and naturally occuring materials, that are conceived to be self-assembled. The article should also be cleared from meaningless abbreviations such as "NBB's" that are not popularized in the field. It could also be linked up better with similar topics.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Astrolux (talk • contribs) 18:04, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I think that molecular self-assembly should have its own page.  Self-assembly is a very broad term that covers many fields of science.  Molecular-self assembly is a important concept in biology and supramolecular chemistry.  I think that it is distictive and important enough to have its own page.  Please comment if you object otherwise I will create a new page and move the relevant content on molecular self assebly there in about a week.  M stone 11:44, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  New page for molecular self-assembly 

message: As a researcher in the field of inorganic chemistry I'd have to disagree with the statement that self assembly is only associated with non-covalent systems. For example, people talk about the self-assembly of polyoxometalates, MOFs, coordination assemblies (or metallacages) etc. all of which have covalent interactions. I agree that non-covalent systems are easier to self-assemble and therefore are more widespread but they are not the only ones. 132.76.50.5 (talk) 10:11, 2 October 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Molecular complementarity

message: The definition of molecular complementarity is identical to molecular recognition.  If this is just another name for molecular recognition then I think that it should be made into a redirect page. If anyone object to merging this content into molecular recognition let me know why otherwise I will do so in about a week. M stone 11:56, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Although I still need further reading in this area, my understanding is that "molecular complementarity" is one aspect of molecular recognition, in other words supermolecule "recognize" each other through a number of means of discernment, e.g. electrical, shape, structure, "complementary" charge, atomic properties, etc.  In other words, these words are not synonyms.  Wikipedia is about building articles on all the subtle topics, in all their shades of meaning.  --Sadi Carnot 11:39, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I have performed the merge with molecular recognition. I am concerned that it is easy to simply throw the "molecular" in front of a word and declare a new terminology. Also I could not find any reviews of molecular complementarity in the literature. I think that it is more useful to redirect to the more commonly used terminology "molecular recgonition" and define within. While I agree that Wikipedia is about building articles on all the subtle topics, I believe that it must be well organized and analyzed to be a useful resource.  Just my two cents.

Talk:Donald E. Ballard

message: this section repeatedly lists his rank (rate) as 'HC2C'. this is without question incorrect for the period, and i find it very hard to believe that such a citation would have gotten this wrong. don ballard was at that time a 'hospital corpsman second class', (e-5), correctly abbreviated 'HM2'. i know this from personal experience. my dad, during wwii, was an electrician's mate third class, abbreviated 'EM3C'. during my naval service,(1964-68) i was a seaman recruit (SR),hospitalman apprentice (HA), hospitalman (HN), hospital corpsman third class (HM3) and hospital corpsman second class (HM2). 
another website, posted by the navy's naval historical centre, says that ballard was a third class at the time of the action, and gives a different wording of the citation, at no time referring to him other than as 'petty officer ballard'.
not to mention the fact that he can't have a 'memorial' statue anywhere, since he's apparently still quite alive.details, people, details.Toyokuni3 (talk) 05:00, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

message: On behalf of African Parks via the Wyss Foundation, and as part of my work at Beutler Ink, I am submitting a request to have "Odzala National Park" changed to "Odzala-Kokoua National Park", the park's official name. Since the Wikipedia article has been moved (see Talk:Odzala-Kokoua National Park), I am trying to update links throughout the encyclopedia, but I don't edit articles directly because of my conflict of interest.

replies: text:  this list is centered on having an article to back it up. In this case, the article "National parks of the Republic of the Congo" does not yet exist. My reading of WP:SOURCELIST is that requests such as this — which ask for updates to be made to lists of information based on the counterfactual existence of another article — should not be approved until and unless the material backing that list becomes more concrete.

Talk:The Bird (mascot)

message: I noted the addition of "All cadets in the audience finish this sentence by calling out this name" and have heard elsewhere that all cadets now say "The Bird" in unison.  Unfortunately, that takes away the humor of the traditional response--someone would get up to present the statue, usually saying something generic like "On behalf of the cadet wing, we'd like to present you with a token of our appreciation", and cadets would call out, fairly randomly, "Give him the Bird!", implying something less than dignified. - Tarfu92 12:31, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I read the following statement and was a bit confused.

Talk:Robert Lanza

message: *A. I have a conflict of interest because I have a personal connection to Lanza and he has asked me to review this page for problems. I am unpaid.  Please note that after reviewing the issues, I am offering the proposal (below) in order to correct mistakes and improve this section.  First, the theory is not accurately summarized so the subsequent criticism and support of it does not have the proper context. I am offering a correction to the summary. Second, most of the support and criticism improperly comes from blogs and self-published sources, including the Forbes contributor platforms. I did not include blogs and an email comment. Instead, I left in criticism and support only from what I believe to be reliable sources, at least for opinion in the criticism/support paragraph. Third, I have tried to shorten this section relative to its importance based on actual reliable sources while preserving a balance of criticism and support. I tried to keep in mind that this is a biography about his life, including the popular press about his work, not a full-length article about this theory. Popular press coverage seems appropriate since this a biography of his life, not a full article about the theory. Thank you. Sapphire41359 (talk) 20:57, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

Talk:City of Devonport

message: It is rather a long time ago, but I think it is worth reinforcing the 21 March 2007 reversion by Whereizben of the text inserted by Ewikiguy. This is because I recognised the source of the text - it is from The Rough Guide to Australia, page1138 in the seventh edition. The text was taken word for word, unattributed; and I am afraid you can't do that. See WP:NFC, sections entitled "Acceptable use of text" and "Unacceptable text".
Anyway, the text, being descriptive of the city, was misplaced in an article about the local government area. Something like this, but not simply a copy of text from somewhere else, could be added to Devonport, Tasmania, which is about the city itself. Patche99z 16:52, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
