message: Was this done deliberately or was it a mistake?
Mistake. The general assumption was that it wasn't possible. This turned out to be incorrect.Geni 21:46, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Couldn't Motty be considered proof that scientists were in error when they classified the African and Asian elephants in separate genera? After all, if they're closely related enough to produce a hybrid (including having the same number of chromosomes), that should mean they're in the same genus. 75.76.213.106 (talk) 06:44, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Almost all hybrids are cross-genus. So no. Brightgalrs (/braɪtˈɡæl.ərˌɛs/)[1] 01:14, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: To complement Brightgalrs' reply, the original poster makes a couple of wrong assumptions: First that hybrids can only occur if the parents are of the same genus. That is not the case, and an example is the Sheep-goat_hybrid (sheep are of the genus Ovis, goats are Capra). Second, that both parents need to have the same number of chromosomes, something contradicted by the most famous hybrids, the mules and hinnies, which have 63 chromosomes as their parents are a donkey with 62 chromosomes and a horse with 64. 128.249.1.194 (talk) 21:52, 30 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Deliberate 

message: :::Although Motty is the only known hybrid elephant from the regular spicies of elephants, a Chinese safari park has a sub-specific hybrid (two subsecies) of the Asian Elephant. The hybrids mother was a Sumatran Elephant and its father was a Indian Elephant. I got my infomation and souces from Hybrid and Mutant Animals. It may or may not be true, but somebody should check, just in case. Also, I heard that the two species of african elephant have cross-breed and produced a hybrid. --24.147.1.197 (talk) 13:11, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

Talk:USS Towers

message: My name is August Robert DeFore. I was on board the USS Towers when the ship sailed down a Vietnamese river to fire its guns in support of ground operations. My rate was STG-2 (E5) at the time (Sonar Technician Second Class). My General Quarters duty station was below the forward 5"54 gun mount in the Sonar Room. We sailed so far down river that we had to back out for 30 minutes before we could turn around. My job was to ping the sonar at a high repetition rate to detect large objects as we were backing out.
We had a spotter plane flying over head to direct our gun fire. Each shot rattled the sonar room. Two rounds were fired. Then the spotter plane pilot radioed a correction and two more rounds of 5"54 were fired. This procedure was repeated until the gun was on target. Then approximately 50 rounds were fired in less than 3 minutes. We did this all afternoon firing at different targets. While we were on station, the sonar equipment stayed active (pinging) to keep the enemy from entering the water and attacking the ship.
We were down river firing our guns for approx eight (8) hours. The total time to get on station, fire our guns and sail back to the mouth of the river was approx 15 hours. So many rounds of 5"54 had been fired that both barrels were smooth bored. We sailed back to Subic Bay Philippines to replace both barrels. On the way back to Subic Bay, the ASW (Anti-Submarine Welfare) officer presented each Sonar-man and Torpedo-man with the Vietnam Service medal and Vietnam Service ribbon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8000:1A41:2600:2536:7B54:5B89:E973 (talk) 23:56, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

* Support. A nickname does not belong in the page name unless it's a last resort way of distinguishing two otherwise identical names. Firstname/lastname is adequate if there are no conflicts due to other people of the same name. --AliceJMarkham 02:11, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose for the reasons I gave above.  "Pap" was not an ordinary nickname.  It was the name he was known by in his lifetime and it is the name that educated historians identify him by.  Pap is the name researchers use when looking for him.  It always flabbergasts me that people who have not read anything on the topic can come in here and alter a long-established historical precedent.  I would also add that there is another Benjamin Singleton.  Although no one has yet written a Wikipedia article on him, Benjamin Singleton (1788-1853) was a famous Australian explorer and town-founder. StudierMalMarburg 15:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

The same image is used in many other Wikipedia articles, compounding the omission. Nor is there any indication of its source on the commons entry - and on its talk page someone points out  that surviving examples consist of just a simple four-petalled flower.

I might work on this article to add more correct information. For now I have corrected a widespread mistake that the village Bolshie Gorki is near Kiev. In reality it is 100 km from Moscow. Ivan Kliun (real name Kliunkov or Kliunov) as well as my grandmother (maiden name Kliunkova) were born there. I still have a piece of land in this village.

Talk:Minyanka language

message: A couple of small changes:
*I hid the references to Maasina Fulfulde and Western Maninka. First, not sure one needs the examples here. Second, each of those are part of larger language groupings - Fula language & Manding languages respectively - that may need to be looked at as a whole before additional articles on varieties of each are added.
*I linked "national language" to national language even though that article needs a serious rewrite to accommodate the definition used in Mali and many other African countries.
Related to above points, the article on Languages of Mali needs to list the national languages (which then could be referenced by articles such as this). --A12n 01:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed the text about some coral fungus becoming toxic when cut with a knife.  I cannot find any reference that says anything about coral fungus interacting with metal, nor is such a toxin included in the list of mushroom toxins in Arora(1).  It also seems very unlikely to me that a toxin would work this way:  wouldn't it depend on what *kind* of metal the knife or sieve is made out of?  Stainless steel is generally pretty non-reactive, and it seems unlikely to me that most knives or sieves would react at all, much less produce a toxin.

The point being that it wasn't force alone as the edit suggested (nor was it the same as the East Timor situation as many like to make out.
