Talk:Theravada

message: This statement "In fact today about half of the primary schools in Thailand are located in monasteries" found under the section "Lay devotee" is most likely wrong. 
Nowadays, Thai primary schools are mainly run and funded by the government and not by monasteries. A citation would be necessary to justify this statement. 
However, the statement may have been true two or three generations ago when most people in the villages would go to the monastery for primary education (reading and writing). 
Besides that, I very much appreciate the article.

The result of the move request was: Procedural close. As noted by both sides of the debate, moving just Theravada alone will cause consistency problems.

:That's interesting - I was going to reply that maybe the reason you don't recognise the word is that the loan from Spanish dates from the 16th century, but now I'm wondering if this isn't some old vandalism of the page, and it's actually supposed to say bobo rather than bubie.

message: I personally think this is a great idea. In recent times I've been involved in a number of articles (through choice) that have resulted in stalemates or editing wars. Often when this happens an admin will lock the page, which will result in one side having the content they desire kept up. I feel that if a truce was suggested or enforced by an admin, it would lead to fresh input from other users. I think the proposal could do with some work to be a working function on Wikipedia, but I feel this could really benefit all users as time wouldn't be wasted arguing on a talk page and things getting personal.

Talk:Phagocyte

message: Can phagocytes engulf viruses and destroy them?  If they can, why doesn’t Wikipedia mention this?  
I have looked through all Wikipedia’s articles on phagocytes, phagocytosis, viruses, viral disease, innate immune system, immune response and many other pages, but nowhere do I find any mention of any phagocytes engulfing viruses.
The closest thing to phagocytes engulfing viruses was in the antigen presentation article and even there the article makes it sound as if it is a function of infected cells rather than professional antigen presentation cells. 197.229.6.214 (talk) 05:17, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: They can't, viruses are too small and do not have the molecules like toll-like receptors that phagocytes use to detect invaders. It is indeed the virus-infected cells that macrophages target, via interferons. The innate immune system deals with viruses differently than it does with bacteria. It has to because viruses and bacteria are so different. Graham Beards (talk) 09:14, 20 January 2022 (UTC)

You have some great bones for your article here. I like how you mention important formations found within your basin. Once you beef up those sections, maybe add one or two more major sections to give a well-rounded amount of information. I do not know what kind of information is out there about your basin but stratigraphy is always interesting and easy to write about. Over all, you and your article rock. No pun intended.

thread_title:  Peer Review 

message: Hey Ashton, I came back to review your page again. Its looking like it’s coming along better now but I am just going to start off with things you may consider updating with what you already have. 
First off I think you may consider to retitle your first section to being just “overview” and then have a Page Title -- “Niger Delta Basin” at the top. Next in your overview, you should introduce basic properties of the basin such as the basins boundaries, sediment depth, etc. Lastly on this section I would likely take out the word unique from the last sentence, there are numerous basins with high oil potential. 
In your formation section I would pick out geological terms that the average person may not know and give them links to the wiki pages on them ex: rift junction. The rest of this section looks good, I will say reread it a couple of times and maybe work on your phrasing. 
For your Formation section (doesn’t exactly look finished) you may consider instead of bullets making subsections for descriptions of each formation. So if your main title is ==Geologic Formations== then you can have sub titles by doing ===Oceanic Basement=== and then ===Akata Formation=== and so on. 
	
LASTLY AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANT:  you should cite your resources through out your page! It is really difficult to go back and cite things after you have already written the page because what came from where? Also you will want to get permission to use your figure, or just remake a version of the figure and say its your own work. I have a feeling that someone is likely to remove that figure. Good luck man.

which is accurate, and IMO a valid and informative comment. Somehow I'm not surprised it was removed, and I won't start an edit war over it. But I'd be delighted if anyone else wanted to put it back, and in any case IMO the removed text should have been put in the talk page with the reason for its removal, or at least a comment placed in the summary field of the edit.
