Talk:Buddy (Hinton novel)

message: I don't think Ralph had learning difficulties, I think he had been traumatized by his father murdering his mother, before hanging himself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.20.100.56 (talk) 23:17, 30 October 2011 (UTC)

message: This whole plot summary runs on and on and on. It introduces new characters halfway through without explaining where they came from, uses too many run on sentences, and is generally hard to follow. It is written very informally as well, with no references for anything, especially the "Other Information" section. Can someone improve this article?

Talk:Photothermal therapy

message: Could we get a reference to an article or a paper on this, so we can figure out what's specifically being presented in this article?  WhatamIdoing (talk) 06:43, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Ref

message: The recent study section is a garbled and incorrect version of the first few hits in Google for this topic. Usually gold nanoparticles are used for photothermal therapy, not silicon. Silicon is a poor absorber of light due to its indirect bandgap and so is unsuitable for photothermal therapy. I think the author was confused by the use of the word 'silica' in the linked article. Sometimes nanoparticles comprised of a silica core and a gold shell are used -but silica is silicon dioxide (think sand), not silicon. Also Cathy Murphy was not the first to synthesize gold nanorods (far from it!), but she is commercializing a CTAB-free synthesise process.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.78.66.70 (talk) 13:50, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Survivin

message: Is it really fair to say that inhibiting survivin is not a feasible goal for anticancer therapy? Aurora Kinase inhibitors (especially inhibitors of AurkB) would perform exactly this function by preventing phosphorylation of survivin, thus inhibiting survivin function in its mitotic capacity. Furthermore, just because a proposed therapy would likely damage healthy rapidly-dividing cells certainly has not been a historical reason to preclude its use. 5-FU for example has been highly successful, despite the fact that it prevents mitosis of virtually every cell in the body. In general, the toxicity profile for chemotherapeutics has been caegorically poor- a fact the FDA allows becasue the alternative is almost certain death by untreated cancer. I think the aside about inhibition of survivin not being a practical target should at least be referenced if not removed. Wingsfan6047 (talk) 19:44, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  References don't support statements 

message: Without a reference, it doesn't seem reasonable to compare a type of of organised crime gang to an independence movement in a neighbouring country. The suggestion that a political group is primarily criminal in nature without evidence implies a political opposition to that group that is not appropriate for this article to take. If there are relevant comparisons between the two groups they should be properly explained and referenced. 49.178.27.219 (talk) 06:03, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

message: I removed
: * Bull, status in U.S. Navy of bull ensign
with the sense (in United States Navy contexts) of the highest ranking ensign in his/her command, also called the "Bull Ensign", bcz the article makes no mention, and the Dab page can't provide more info than is needed to choose the entry that points to where the real info is.   There is no relevant info in the article, which not only makes it impossible to link to the real information -- it also raises the question of why a Dab entry is worthwhile if the article has been getting along without any mention. Probably this is something unsuitable for WP, that should be a def'n in Wiktionary instead; if not, work it into the ensign article in a way that hopefully will help convince editors interested in naval ensigns that it's worthwhile, note that you've done so at talk:ensign (rank), and wait a decent interval for responses before adding a new entry along the lines above, on the accompanying Dab.--Jerzy•t 03:51, 26 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Namibian Black German

message: Is this language a pidgin or creole?  While these are popularly used synonymously (e.g. Hawaiian English Pidgin, Tok Pisin, they are not the same thing in linguistics.  It's clear that this language is not well documented, but I think there should be enough to determine if it's a creole or pidgin.  The German version of the article refers to it as a 'non-canonical contact language', while the Afrikaans and Dutch articles label it simply a contact language.  This needs to be disambiguated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iank125 (talk • contribs) 17:34, 19 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Big Four (debutantes)

message: It seems that this article takes a fairly dismissive tone toward the subject, including "the Chicago press chronicled their mundane social activities," etc. Is such a tone appropriate? 
Certainly, the Big Four were not the most important social phenomenon going on in the midwest at the time, but is this the kind of editorial tone we should be taking? 2601:84:8701:8FB0:F436:25:167C:A838 (talk) 13:22, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: You are misinterpreting the sentence. Chicago's population circa the 1910s was 2.4 million people. Despite the fact that the daily events in Chicago included race riots, terrorist bombings, and mass murder, the Chicago press nonetheless reported the mundane social activities of the Big Four debutantes on their front pages. It is precisely the fact that such activities were "mundane" which is a testament to the cultural power of the Big Four as the daughters of Chicago's wealthiest families. — Flask (talk) 23:44, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Chuck Hartenstein

message: It caught my eye that the debut date in the infobox was September 11, 1965 and the team's years in the infobox began in 1966. Upon further investigation I found the following:
:1. The MLB player page indicated a September 11, 1965 debut, but the year's with the Cubs beginning in 1966 under the pitching stats. When one moves to the batting stats, it becomes apparent that he appeared in 1 game in 1965 but with no AB (or BB).
:2. The Baseball-Reference (Major) page has a similar debut date and indicating that he had no PA.
:3. The Baseball-Reference (Minors) page indicates that he was in the majors for one day only: September 11, 1965.
:4. Finally, a look at the September 11, 1965 page at Baseball-Reference for the Cubs at Giants game yields the letters PR, "Chuck Hartenstein pinch runs for John Boccabella (PH) batting 9th" in the top of the 7th inning, and "Byron Browne replaces Chuck Hartenstein (PR) playing LF batting 9th" in the bottom of the 7th. The Retrosheet page for the same date says "CUBS 7TH: ... HARTENSTEIN RAN FOR BOCCABELLA ... Debut game for Chuck Hartenstein" and "GIANTS 7TH: ... BROWNE REPLACED HARTENSTEIN" (emphasis in the original).
Reliable sources state that he played in 1965 as a pinch runner. Therefore, I have adjusted the years in the infobox to begin with 1965 for the Chicago Cubs. Bob305 (talk) 22:36, 10 August 2015 (UTC)
