Talk:Rainforest Action Network

message: Season 1, Episode 13 of Penn & Teller; Bullshit had a focus on Rainforest Action Network and their representative, Kate Lowe. Ms. Lowe was asked very simple questions about "Global Warming", logging, why the average American should be concerned about species extinction, and even why she is so passionate about her work... None of which she was actually able to answer. Penn was very careful to point out that Ms. Lowe was the "spokesperson they chose", not some random activist or protester. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Maize5 (talk • contribs) 04:14, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd like to see something more about Kate also, but for the opposite reason: in the P&T episode, it's overwhelming obvious that she's just a kid -- probably a student organizer, and not a talking head.  It was way too easy for them to catch her awkward stammering -- which is usually edited out as a courtesy -- and then fade out as she got a rhythm, albeit reciting the main lines of climate change.  What more do you want from a student organizer at a random march, though?  They easily could have called higher-up in RAN.  I've googled around a bit but can't find anything about her.

message: CWIS is a misspelling of CIWS, but CIWS appears on the top ten of a google search for CWIS.

Talk:Commote

message: The Welsh word is cwmwd, plural cymydau. Commote is the anglicised word. I'm glad to see that cantref is used on this page rather than the English eqivalent hundred. For consistency and out of respect for the language I feel that this page should be moved to Cwmwd (anybody typing "commote" in Search would still get there). The list of cwmwd names is very misleading as well and needs changing to their standard spelling (Llan Uaes = Llanfaes, Teigyl = Tegeingl, etc.) and links (and pages) provided. If nobody has any objections I propose doing that in the near future. How about a new category whilst we're at it - Medieval Welsh administrative units for instance - which could then incorporate the stuff under cantref? Any thoughts?

thread_title: Commote

message: the discussion above about the units being mythical. Surely, by the 11th century at least, there are enough records to reconstruct which areas had lords and who controlled them.
Within the Wikipedia, we should try to get more consistency between this page and cantref, even if it involves arbitrarily establishing a date for the page's schema and just including notes on changes earlier or later in time or, alternatively, having two lists on this page  one giving the Red Book's account and another the actual historical reconstruction. Surely, we can't just accept the Red Book's by itself: it doesn't even mention Arwystli.
Also we should aim for consistency with other pages – Ial lists lords subservient to Powys Fadog for centuries while this page includes that commote with Gwynedd and writes it off as lost to the Normans within the lifetime of the Bastard. Both can't be right. — LlywelynII 00:10, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Entomology?

message: I added a reference to the official rules regarding what constitutes a legal snap.  I left the previous paragraph under that section up, as well as the video link.  The original paragraph is incorrect in stating the center is allowed to stand upright and hand the ball to the QB, as is shown in the video.  The snap must be a continuous backwards motion.  Lifting the ball is strictly prohibited.
* I reworded the first paragraph of the section, conformed the external link to the Wikipedia format, and eliminated the commentary regarding the play in the video.  That last paragraph was POV: you can't definitively tell by the angle of the footage whether the ball was headed backward or not; regardless, the referees considered it legal, so it's inappropriate to flatly state that it's not. --68.155.165.170 01:02, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, it is a debatable whether Bender is the main character of the movie, as all five share a fair bit of screentime and plot development. Granted, he is probably the most popular one, but that doesn't warrant his own page. If this page can't offer something specific that couldn't be included on the root page, then I would agree.

thread_title:  Thin wakame stem 

message: The current version of this article reads:
"At over 400 mg/100 kcal or almost 1 mg/kJ, it has one of the higher nutrient:calorie ratios, and among the very highest for a vegetarian source. However, 100 grams of wakame is more than 44 tablespoons of dried wakame. The usual consumpton of wakame is closer to 1 or 2 tablespoons."
Ugh. Shouldn't somebody do the math? Let's see... We've got 400mg of Omega-3 per 100kcals of wakame. I happen to have some wakame here that says it's 30kcals per 1/2 cup (10g) serving. So, let's see here... There are 4 tablespoons in a 1/4 cup, so there's 8 in a 1/2 cup, so a tablespoon is going to be about 1.25 grams, so assuming the author above is correct, than a typical serving is 1.25-2.5 g. This works out to be 3.75-7.5 kcals per typical serving. So, the typical serving has between 15 and 30mg of omega-3s in a typical serving.

American astronauts of the time (1968/1973) came from military backgrounds, even in fiction. It makes sense that neither Taylor's crewmembers (who called him "Skipper", and if it's so important to this editor to make such a fuss, why didn't he put that in prior to now?) nor his captors would call him "Colonel", under the circumstances of the story; nonetheless, that was Taylor's rank in the SERIES.
