message: There is one pedestrian foot crossing of the MBTA Green Line D Branch not in a station (https://www.google.com/maps/@42.3282511,-71.1751999,68m/data=!3m1!1e3).  I believe the crossing is actually between Houghton Garden (https://www.newtonma.gov/government/planning/boards-commissions/conservation-commission/open-space/houghton) and the Webster Woods Conservation Area (https://newtonconservators.org/property/webster-woods/). While the crossing is not signaled, I believe trains are required to slow to 5 MPH.  By the definition of grade separation in the Wikipedia article of that topic, that means the line is NOT fully grade separated.  Does anyone see a problem with changing "grade separated" to "mostly grade separated"?  And, if not, how much supporting detail should be added?  Thanks. Paradoox (talk) 22:38, 1 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Hudson River Bridge (Albany)

message: This article is not about the demolished bridge at Albany, New York that was south of the Livingston Avenue Bridge. The Hudson River Bridge is simply an older name for the Livingston Ave. Bridge. The bridge south of said bridge was the Maiden Lane Bridge (also a railroad bridge) and was finished in 1872, not 1866, it was also built by the Hudson River Bridge Company, perhaps the confusion. The picture on this page is of the Livingston Ave. Bridge (original, not the current one from the early 1900's) and not of the Maiden Lane Bridge. Merger of the two articles is recommended.Camelbinky (talk) 22:52, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Spheroidal weathering

message: I think there is a confusion between to types of weathering here: one is due only to chemical process and the other is from the pressure release of the large rocks massifs, and is mainly physical. 
Each one can occur whithout the other.
Zimbres 14:48, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Full ack to the two opinions stated above: apparently “spheroidal weathering” refers to two not-so-closely-related processes: One is due to the chemical weathering of orthogonally jointed rocks often resulting in rounded but rarely in true spheroidal shapes. This one is called woolsack weathering. The other one is due to concentric jointing (exfoliation jointing) of plutonic rocks, often resulting in almost perfectly spheroidal shapes. In this process chemical weathering may contribute much less in the shaping of the rocks... --Gretarsson (talk) 18:08, 7 April 2019 (UTC)

message: Looking at both the figure that was originally used in this article and the current redirect from Weathering Rind, It needs to noted that, although they are related, they are two distinct different types of chemical weathering. Weathering rinds are the outer zone of weathered material within either :pebbles, :cobbles, :boulders or other loose sedimentary particles that are either lying on the ground surface or buried in loose sediments such as :alluvium or glacial :till. On the other hand, spheroidal weathering refers to spherical layers of weathered material that develop in solid rock in the subsurface in jointed :bedrock. The distinction between these two different and distinct weathering features need to be made by making them separate articles and in correctly labeling the images used to illustrate them. Paul H.

message: It's something I remember being mentioned during commentary when he was competing against Steve Backley many years ago but I'm not sure how it would fit into this article. I've found a source including a good photo of him in uniform on the Czech Ministry of Defence website but unfortunately I don't speak Czech and there doesn't appear to be a corresponding article on the English language version.
Czech Ministry of Defence site with photo of Železný in uniform
There seems to be little information about him other than his competition record, so I hope that someone who knows the subject better and/or understands Czech will be able to incorporate this into the article.
I added him to the category "Czech Military Personnel" as I believe it to be appropriate in this case. Again I don't know whether he was an active soldier or if it was more a case that military service allowed him to train full-time as an athlete while retaining his amateur status; this is something that I hope an expert can shed more light on.

Talk:Post-consumer waste

message: I added a section about excessive waste related to consumers because I thought it was relevant to the topic. Drworm921 (talk) 18:19, 1 December 2020 (UTC)

message: * "The terms of pre-consumer and post-consumer recycled materials are not defined in the ISO standard number 14021 (1999) but pre-consumer and post-consumer materials are." Could need a source, especially since there is a figure in the excerpt.
* "Post-consumer waste accounts for a large amount of food that is wasted." This could be improved upon with actual figures and an appropriate reference. For example, this website (https://research.wri.org/wrr-food/course/reduce-growth-demand-food-and-other-agricultural-products-synthesis) from the World Resources Institute states that around 40% of food produced ends up wasted worldwide. Further, over 60% of food waste in the US comes after consumption both of which were stated in Figure 4 in the article on the website.

Legal issues that pertain to post-consumer waste could better be put in articles that involve dumpster diving and legally foraging. This section serves to distract from an already short article and takes away from sections that need more attention.

thread_title:  Miscellaneous 

message: * In the Excessive Waste section, "Another way is the way that food is used once it reaches the average consumer household due to many factors, with the main factors being social, behavioral, and personal purchasing habits." This could be expanded on by explaining why social, behavioral, and personal purchasing habits lead to an increase in post-consumer waste. Also, grammar and structuring could be improved upon and made clearer. The last sentence, "Additionally, each of those factors influence each other and affect the amount of food that is wasted per person." seems like filler and adds little to the Excessive Waste section, should be deleted or heavily edited. For example, something like: "To make matters worse, confusing food labeling and food use dependent on different socioeconomic factors compound on each other and lead to a larger amount of food being wasted." This could use a reference or two though.

message: In 2007,  added this paragraph, which an anonymous IP deleted as an opinionated statement in March 2017;
"They receive ample use not only from local residents taking the train but from city residents visiting the village, as the station is adjacent to the quaint shops and streets of the Cold Spring Historic District. Hikers can often be seen around the station on warmer weekends, headed to or from the nearby peaks of the Hudson Highlands, since service here is regular while the more convenient Breakneck Ridge is merely a flag stop."
I'm not so sure just how popular it truly is for hikers, but since my November 2017 photographic rampage here, as well as other parts of the Hudson Line, I can confirm that the station does cater to them. Besides the existing ramp to the old West Point Foundry, various signs direct tourists, commuters, and hikers to these trails.
