message: I don't know any other way of expressing my concerns on the deletion of this article except for editing it with this message. Please do not delete this entry. It may not have any real world relevance, but it has alot of science fiction relevance. Chronitons are mentioned any many if not all science fiction shows, books, movies, etc. Many people, like me, have a need for knowledge, and an insatiable curiosity to know the meaning of many words and facts that may or may not have real world relevance. I personally think, and hope I am not the only one who thinks, that all knowledge is precious. I agree that some things do need to be removed, but not this one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.163.169.33 (talk • contribs)

replies: text: I agree that this article is dubious. On the other hand, sci-fi fans are likely to encounter words like "positron", "tachyon", and "chroniton" without any indication as to whether the respective particle is real, hypothetical, or fantastic. It's worthwhile for Wikipedia to describe chronitons at least to the extent that the layperson will not mistake them for non-fiction. This article simply may not be the best way to do that. If it cannot be rewritten to stand on its own it should probably be thrown in with the other Fictional elements, materials, isotopes and atomic particles. --Uncuddly (talk) 07:53, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Pennsylvania's 11th congressional district

message: It might be useful to provide a history of the 11th District and/or a chronological series of maps showing major changes to the district, given that Samuel Smith (Pennsylvania) represented northwestern Pennsylvania during his tour in the House (1805-1811), while the current representative covers a far off district in the Hazleton/Scranton area of eastern Pennsylvania. That seems a rather significant change over time that needs to be presented in this article somehow. Redistricting due to population changes noted on the decade is presumed to be of a geographically contiguous nature, so there would seem to be an obligation here to explain the stark change in district representation.
Here is what I have on Smith's district responsibilities:
Pennsylvania Archives, Fourth Series, edited by George Edward Reed, Vol IV, Papers of the Governors (1785-1817), (1900:Harrisburg, PA, by Wm Stanley Ray, State Printer), pp 587-89, 665-66, contains proclamations announcing the election of Representatives of Pennsylvania in the United States Congress. The first one, signed by the Governor of Pennsylvania on 12 December 1806, says that Samuel Smith was duly elected as the Representative of the District composed of the counties of Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Mercer, Crawford, Erie, Venango, and Warren, and will take office on 4 March 1807 for a two-year term. The second proclamation is substantially the same but was signed 13 January 1809, and Smith would take office on 4 March 1809. --Pat (talk) 18:20, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:King of Cadonia

message: The IBDB credits Jerome Kern as the first of two composers listed for this work, in place of Frederick Rosse, listed second in this article.  Any infomration as to whether Kern was actuially involved?  OR did he do a major re-write of the music for the New York production?  Pzavon 01:23, 21 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Noda says that the London production had lyrics by Adrian Ross and Jerome Kern, and that for the Broadway production additional songs were added by M.E. Rourke and Jerome Kern (but it doesn't say whether Kern did just lyrics).  Colin Johnson says that Nos. 16, 20 & 23 were composed by Frederick Rosse, but I don't know if that was for London or just NY, and he does NOT indicate that Kern supplied any of the lyrics.  So, in short, the sources online disagree.  My experience is that the IBDB database is VERY inaccurate in describing who did what in these early musicals.  -- Ssilvers 02:12, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else find the discussion in the last two paragraphs of the opening moves confusing? I find the wording difficult, but I do not want to edit because I am not sure exactly what the author is trying to communicate.

Talk:William Haines

message: While William Haines was a very important and valuable star to the MGM studio, he was not its most important male star, as originally asserted in the article.  The greatest box office success of the 1920's was an MGM film from 1925 called The Big Parade starring John Gilbert, who had appeared the previous year in another blockbuster, He Who Gets Slapped, which also starred another important MGM male star, Lon Chaney, as well as Norma Shearer.  He Who Gets Slapped was MGM's first release after the merger of Metro Pictures with Goldwyn Picture Corporation.  Gilbert became known as the screen's great lover after the death of Rudolph Valentino and was an important asset to the studio, particularly with the teaming of Gilbert with Greta Garbo and even in aiding in the rise of Joan Crawford as a major star due to her being cast as his leading lady in two successful films.  Lon Chaney was among the most popular silent film stars of all, and remains so now.  Thus calling Haines MGM's most important male star is hardly justifiable.Jolly momma (talk) 16:39, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Originally, this practice started because the women wanted to look unattractive to males from other tribes 

message: We need a reference for this. Google shows nothing other then wiki mirrors although this doesn't say much since it's not surprising this isn't talked about on the internet. It sounds a bit dubious to me. Firstly, do the neighbouring tribes even predominantly speak English? If they speak Hindi for example, what's the word for Japan in Hindi? If it sounds more like Nippon or something then surely they're more likely to be Nippotani or something. More importantly I wonder whether it's really something the neighbouring tribes are likely to use. It's something a journalist or whatever might use or someone with a international focus but I'm not so sure about Indian tribes. I'm not saying that they're all primitives who don't know what Japan is, they probably do but people tend to use things which they are familiar and used to. The tribes may know about Japan and its history but this doesn't mean it will ever occur to them to call the Apatani, Japatani. So all in all sounds a bit dubious to me. It doesn't help that it was added here  by an anonymous user who appears to be pushing a bit of POV. Nil Einne 09:05, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Angloposeidon

message: Angloposeidon is apparently not a nomen nudum anymore, since the name was published in Darren Naish's new book: "A very long chapter on MIWG.7306 - the large brachiosaur vertebra known affectionately as 'Angloposeidon' - means that the name 'Angloposeidon' is now (shock horror) in print. More importantly, the full back-story to the paper that I and colleagues eventually published on the specimen (Naish et al. 2004) is revealed in full." FunkMonk (talk) 14:14, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think a nomen nudum is a name that lacks a formal description rather than one that's not been printed before. Does Naish formally describe it in the book? Abyssal (talk) 18:38, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I just ordered the book today, so I don't know, but from what he wrote in the blog, it seems that it might have some kind of nomenclatural consequence. FunkMonk (talk) 18:46, 9 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't think that's what he means by in print. Previously it had only been mentioned as a nickname online, right? For it to be anything other than a nomen nudum it would have to accompany a formal description or be followed by gen. nov or some other indication that it's supposed to be a valid taxon. Otherwise Sue would also be a valid junior synonym of Tyrannosaurus. MMartyniuk (talk) 00:00, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Actually, now that I think about it I'm not sure a name published only online can even be considered a nomen nudum according to the ICZN. A Nomen nudum is a name which has been published with inadequate description or notice that it's meant to form a new taxon. But the code doesn't consider anything posted online as "published," so 'legally' speaking, "Angloposeidon" didn't exist even as a nomen nudum until 2010. Neither does "Amphicoelias brontodiplodocus" or simply the specimen nickname "Brontodiplodocus," both of which I've already seen listed as nomina nuda on some sites. Those names aren't in print, so they can't be nomina nuda. As far as the ICZN is concerned, the internet doesn't exist. MMartyniuk (talk) 00:24, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Template talk:Quote hadith

message: I'm putting this template up for deletion. Giving special treatment (box, color) to a certain class of quoted text that some people regard as sacred is inherently POV.
