*Microhabitats for specialist invertebrates and fungi – heart-rot, splits, seepages, water pools etc.
*Contribution of veteran pollards to importance of wood-pasture, with links to eg Windsor Great Park & Richmond Park (v non-pollard parks such as Knole).
*Value of hollows for tree-hollow species such as bats, otter, owls, wild honeybee etc.
*Value of dense bushy branches and ivy for nesting birds etc.
*Growth of other plants in tops of pollards as opportunistic epiphytes.
*Light to woodland floor (already mentioned in article).
*Limiting excessive overshading and tree height in open landscapes, such as those important for waders and wildfowl.

Talk:Languages of Europe

message: Take the Germanic languages here. According to linguists including Robert Hinderling, Danish, Norwegian and Swedish (also Slovak and Czech) are more closely related than Bavarian and Alemannic are to "Standardgerman". But only 4 languages are listed.
If we follow ISO-639-3, we must at least split off Bairisch and Alemannic, or even "Platt" in northern Germany.
"German" today refers to "Standard German" in Germany, of which Bairisch is NOT a part.
You can call Bavarian and Alemannic Germanic, but not "Deutsch".
Or do we simply follow Politics and assign Language to one but not the other?
It could be a improvement when we differ between Low and Uppergerman.
320luca (talk) 18:08, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: ISO-639-3 is politics. Or rather sociolinguistics unhealthily mixed with comparative linguistics. E.g. every split from ISO-639-2 "de" was primarily made for lects with are spoken in areas where Standard German is not the Dachsprache, e.g. Colonia Tovar German, Hutterite German, Hunsrik, Cimbrian etc. With this split, the most closely related lects in German/Austria/Swiss were also given their own code, e.g. since the distance between e.g. Swabian and Colonia Tovar German is smaller than the one between Swabian and Standard German. High German varieties that don't have the privilege of being closely related to a diaspora variety didn't get their own code, even if they are (at least in their traditional form) unintelligible to speakers of Standard German (e.g. Central Hessian or Erzgebirgisch). –Austronesier (talk) 20:38, 22 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ephrata, Pennsylvania

message: I reverted/removed the following edit made by an anonymous user: "In addition, Ephrata has had a long history with the Ku Klux Klan and known as the unofficial heroin capital of the world."  Firstly, the only affiliation of the KKK which I am aware is a march they made in the mid-90's.  They march in numerous cities: I hardly believe that qualifies Ephrata as a "long history" any more than pretty much any other town.  Provide a reputable source of information if you intend to make such a claim.  Secondly, while Ephrata is known to have a problem with heroin, I would hesitate to say that Ephrata has earned itself such a global claim.  Again, provide a source for this information. --Thisisbossi 22:54, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Hyperplane

message: There is a mistake in the first line of text: a hyperplane is not necessarily a subspace because it does not necessarily contain the zero element. Should one replace "subspace" with "subset"?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.215.6.53 (talk) 08:08, 6 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not a mistake, look at the technical description. Subspace, as used here, is more general than what you are thinking it is. For instance, affine subspaces which generally do not contain the zero element are translates of a vector subspace which does contain the zero element. Bill Cherowitzo  (talk) 03:32, 7 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. It is a linear subspace which contains the zero. We also have affine subspace and topological subspaces where the vector space structure does not apply.Rgdboer (talk) 20:26, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Upon reconsideration, 137.215.6.53 has a point. Dealing in dimensions means we have a vector space or manifold. But general manifolds do not have hyperplanes, so the article is in a context of vector spaces. That means a subspace is a linear subspace, the kind passing through the origin. It is recommended that subset be substituted for subspace in the description of a hyperplane.Rgdboer (talk) 02:45, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

text: Dealing with dimension does not restrict one to vector spaces or manifolds. Affine subspaces and projective subspaces are not linear subspaces, but they are subspaces by the definitions within their disciplines.

text: VASTLY different concepts, although primarily a product of actual usage rather than merely the words themselves. "Secret police" has a strong connotation of a powerful domestic Federal police force which operates outside the normal laws and in secrecy against political crimes, like the KGB or the Stasi. They would be more accurately known as "political police". In the US, the Secret Service are bodyguards for the government and anti-counterfeiters; by intentional design, they have zero authority to investigate or prosecute any other kind of crime and must defer to the FBI (the Federal police force). In England, "secret service" refers to the Secret Intelligence Service, aka MI6, which (like the American CIA) is only allowed to operate outside the country; again, by design, they are prevented from having any role as domestic police. 45.47.184.148 (talk) 20:08, 21 February 2016 (UTC)
