Portal talk:Cambodia

message: I'm afraid I'm quite new to SE Asian history, though I find it quite fascinating. I wrote up the article on Jayavarman I some time ago, based on the one book I have, and now I am trying to add him (and all the other Kamboja/Khmer rulers) into the lists of state leaders by year. However, I'm a bit confused as to where to use "Kamboja" and where "Chenla" and like that. There was a Chenla king named Jayavarman earlier in the 7th century, and then there's Jayavarman I. Is he King of Khmer? of Kamboja? of Chenla? I just want to make sure I have my terminology right before I go adding him to a dozen pages, and then going and having to fix it later. Thank you.

Talk:Chroogomphus

message: A small genus with not a lot of substantial differences between species, I don't think separate articles for each species is called for. Everything of note about this group could be easily discussed within one article, with small sections for Chroogomphus rutilus, C. vinicolor, etc. Separate articles are just going to lead to a lot of overlap, a lot of boilerplate information being repeated, etc. Peter G Werner 10:11, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Outdated 

message: Other than mentioning a gene, this article is more of a How-To than a balanced article on nevus flammeus. What does the gene cause to happen during development? Are persons with this mutation mosaic for the trait? Do certain populations have a higher incidence than others? Is the condition inherited, and at what rate? Does a nevus flammeus change in the course of a patient's life? Is this condition associated with any other traits or medical conditions? A photomicrograph of a section of the skin, showing this condition, would be very illustrative. References of a scientific nature would enable this article to cover the topic more thoroughly. This article is oriented towards parents whose newborn has a nevus flammeus, and ought to be rewritten in a medico-scientific style, because WP is an encyclopedia, not a how-to. --Quisqualis (talk) 19:31, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Natural person

message: You can not logically define a thing by describing somthing that the thing is not.  This article seeks to define the term 'Natural Person' by identifying another thing that a 'Natural Person' is not, namely a 'Legal Person'.  If I was to offer up a definition of a 'Boat' I wouldn't define it as 'Not a car' but instead I would describe the essential minimal traits of the boat itself.  For this reason I believe that more work is needed in describing the essential minimal traits of a 'natural person' which are intrinsic to its identity.  When is a person a natural person versus when is a person not a natural person?  What is a natural person versus what are other kinds of persons? What characteristics are unique to the natural person?  And, by what authority can these claims be made?  Some other questions that help to illustrate why this definition is inadequate include:  1) Is a baby a natural person?  2) Is a baby a natural person one minute before birth?  3) Is person born without a fully functioning brain a natural person?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by DavoDavoDavo (talk • contribs) 01:55, 27 April 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Redoubt

message: The phrase "an enclosed defensive emplacement outside a larger fort" was unclear to me. At first I thought the word 'larger' was a typo, as the fort couldn't be larger than the wall surrounding it.  But perhaps this means there is a 'main' fort, with various outlying redoubts.
Someone else should edit the page, as I don't know enough about the material.
I could suggest lines like:
"surrounding a fort"
or
"a short distance from a larger fort"
Other than that, I found the article clear and informative.

thread_title:  Opening sentence clarification 

message: What Hamilton attacked at Yorktown was closer to a revetment than a redoubt. If you have ever seen "The Last Revetment" as Hamilton called it, it is not very large. You could walk from one end to the other in just over a minute. A Redoubt is large and protects a central structure or fortification. A Revetment protects soldiers from explosives or artillery fire. That makes Hamilton's "Last Revetment" just what he termed it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Devildave (talk • contribs) 16:32, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

message: A look at sources shows no clear distinction between reduit and redoubt. They are synonymous. Srnec (talk) 21:48, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: No they're not :) Redoubt is a type of fortification - this term means that the building has been built in a specific way (redoubt is prepared for defense in siege, has emplacements etc.). But if a fortification is a reduit, it's because of its role within the whole fort. Reduit is the central building of the fort, its last stand. Like donjon in a medieval castle. It may be a redoubt, a blockhause - it doesn't matter. It matter only that it's the central building, or, like the Germans say - Kernwerk. Bartex77 (talk) 15:57, 6 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Present value

message: "Present worth" incorrectly redirects to present value, and, it would seem,  the rest of the internet - not properly contrasting present worth and present value. A separate article on present worth should be made to avoid confusion.
Excerpt from:
Fabrycky, W., Thuesen, G., & Verma, D. (1998). Economic Decision Analysis (3rd Edition ed., Vol. I). Upper Saddle River, New Jersey, United States of America: Prentice Hall.
"
Present Worth. The present worth is a net equivalent amount at the present that represents the difference between the equivalent disbursements and the equivalent receipts of an investments cash flow for a selected interest rate.  Determining the present worth equivalent and the summation of the individual present worths to obtain the net present worth.
[...]
The present worth has several features that make it suitable as a basis for comparison. First, it considers the time value of money according to the value of i [interest] selected for the calculation. Second, a single and unique value of the present worth is associated with each interest rate used, no matter what the investment's cash flow pattern may be.
"

Talk:Ongoing series

message: One of my concerns is that this is jargon, and so the title should be changed to reflect this; references to ongoing series in other articles should be explained fully as being a comic book series. Also, I don't know that we differentiate ongoing so much as those that are non-ongoing: one-shots and limited series. Finally, the article comes across as original research. --Chris Griswold  (☎☓) 11:23, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Question: how does one go about citing the assertions of this article, especially the "jargon"?  One can go to any comics-centric news website (such as Newsarama) or message board and see these terms being used (and infer their meaning from the context), but would it really be good citation to simply link to random posts or news items as proof?  Is there an outside websource for comics jargon?  Note that some of these terms, such as ongoing series, limited series, one-shot, annual, etc., are comics industry (and in some cases, general publication industry) terms that comics creators and fans alike have adopted for use.  Perhaps a "List of comics jargon" article would be the place for "ongoing series" and several of the terms cited in this article (cancelled, relaunched, on hiatus), as well as certain comics terms whose articles are stubs (one-shot). --Pennyforth 11:11, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Whilst I admit chip pans are significantly more dangerous the deep fat fryer's the assertion that fires in either are difficult to extinguish simply isn't true – a fire blanket, wet tea towel or (usually in industrial applications) a type F chemical extinguisher will all easily handle a fire in this particular type of cooker.

thread_title:  Dangers? 

message: What about the other health concerns about deep fat fried food, in terms of artery clogging and obesity, that have occasionally been raised over the decades, and are now becoming mainstream? 
e.g. see: [] 
Fats are chemically altered by long term heating, and residual fat in deep fried foods contain (more or less harmful) substances not found in single-use pan-fried food, or uncooked vegetable and dairy fats and oils. Previously all fats tended to be collectively demonised (simplistically, as usual). 
It is becoming clear that that deep fat fried food is implicated in the health differential between sectors of the population who eat deep fried food regularly and those rarely do so, predominantly divided along traditional class lines in the UK. This is also a rapidly developing problem in Eastern cities where Western style fast food restaurants have recently opened.
The logical solution would appear to be to legislate for the phasing out and eventual banning of deep fat fried food, both commercial and domestic. Presumably being potentially class related it is too much a "hot potato" for any UK government of either party to dare to address, even if they knew about it.
