message: Sentence removed from article, not sure if it adds anything:
SSSIs are also important as they often form the basis for other designations such as National Nature Reserves, Ramsar Sites, Special Protection Areas, and Special Areas of Conservation although in the case of Whitton Bridge Pasture there is no further designation. - Suicidalhamster 14:14, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed from Article

message: This article is well written and very informative for its size. It is set up well, with the infobox and pictures, and the sections of the article. I commend the efforts of all the editors who made this the way it is now. I would suggest, though, that if this is to become an FA, it should be expanded more. It seems that, while it does cover a lot of info, there should certainly be more to include.

message: Is this article actually a stub? I suspect that once upon a time it was a stub, and somebody flagged it as such, and then later someone else added more information, but nobody has gotten around to removing the stub flag.

thread_title: Still a stub?

message: It's nothing Earth-shattering now, and as the article makes clear, it hasn't a scholarly bone in its body. However, as a data-point: This was the very first book on computing that I read, and to a thirteen-year-old in a tiny town in Wyoming, Crichton's voice was god-like.  I gobbled it up and was instantly hooked.  I spent the next years devouring every computer book I could find in our tiny public library, writing out on paper elegant programs that would never run because I didn't have any hardware.  Ahh ... the heady days of obsessed adolescent geek-hood. So, for me, importance=monumental. Just one data-point.

Talk:Anne-Louis Girodet de Roussy-Trioson

message: A reader contacted Wikimedia regarding a possible error. That person gave me permission to copy the commetns here:
I found a mistake in an article and would like to report it. In your article on Anne-Louis Girodet, you have a gallery at the bottom. The seventh painting is, I believe, misidentified as "Mademoiselle Lange as Venus". It should be "The Night of Danae" - 1798, Museum der bildenden Kunste, Leipzig. Although the pose is similar to Venus, the story told is clearly Danae. Note the commonality of the mirror in this and the last picture in the gallery, the correctly identified "Mademoiselle Lange as Danae", as well as the constellation of Perseus (Danae's future son that is about to be conceived with the help of Jupiter and Eros in the painting) next to Danae. If you need a source, please check out David to Delacroix: The Rise of Romantic Mythology by Dorothy Johnson, University of North Carolina Press, Chapel Hill, 2011.

Talk:Philippe de Champaigne

message: Because this is a fairly unknown painter it needs to be presented well. People are not going to look after him and his works on commons if they only see a couple not so good paintings of him. They classify him as a por painter and move on. Most people don't go to commons at all. Ex-Voto de 1662 might be an important painting because it depicts his family but it is not a very well done painting, technically  is quite poor. So is Cephalus and Procris in a Landscape, compare with his other paintings.  Hafspajen (talk) 12:32, 11 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Ex Voto of 1662 is widely acknowledged as one of his masterpieces, as can be confirmed by entering Philippe de Champaigne masterpiece into either google or google books; it should not have been deleted, particularly as it was at that time the only one of his paintings actually mentioned in the text of the article.  Cephalus and Procris in a Landscape is weak but useful as an example of his early style; readers might wonder what Champaigne painted before he reached his forties. Ewulp (talk) 04:04, 12 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the date 1640 to from 1640 onwards for the influence of Jansenism- presumably Champaigne read Jansen's book when first published in 1640, but couldn't have had any opportunity to come into contact with Jansen's ideas before that date.

message: E.M. Forster was an aspiring, and at that time unsuccessful, writer when he was hired as a tutor for the Von Arnim children.
He was notoriously jealous of Elizabeth von Arnim's fame and her best-selling memoir, as described in Karen Usborne's biography
of Elizabeth. His dismissive comments about her garden should be taken with a ton of salt. Nobody else seemed to share them.
Later, his malice and envy probably informed the portrait of a fatuous lady novelist in A ROOM WITH A VIEW.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ecoregions/Archive 1

message: Each ecozone now includes a table that lists all of the ecozone's constituent ecoregions, sorted by biome. Most, but not all, of the tables list the country or countries that cover that ecoregion's territory. Thanks to the folks who helped put them together.
Another project would be to add a section to each country's main article that lists the ecoregions that that country's territory covers. I have added an ecology section to the main articles for Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, and Papua New Guinea, with links to the articles for each ecoregion.
It seems that each ecoregion should have its own article; the only exception I can see is for islands or island groups that form their own ecoregion. I combined the ecoregion articles with the main articles for Desventuradas Islands, Juan Fernandez Islands, Revillagigedo Islands, and Lord Howe Island. I gave Solomon Islands rain forests its own article, because not all the islands in the ecoregion are in the country, and not all of the islands in the country are in the ecoregion. Same for Vanuatu; the Vanuatu rain forests ecoregion includes the Santa Cruz Islands, which are politically part of the Solomon Islands.
The other islands or island groups that are their own single ecoregions are Andaman Islands/Andaman Islands rain forests, Nicobar Islands/Nicobar Islands rain forests, Clipperton Island/Clipperton Island shrub and grasslands, Norfolk Island/Norfolk Island subtropical forest Louisiade Archipelago/Louisiade Archipelago rain forests, Admiralty Islands/Admiralty Islands lowland rain forests, Trobriand Islands/Trobriand Islands rain forests, Stewart Island/Rakiura Island temperate forests; there are doubtless others.
