message: The final paragraph seems unduly critical of creationists. As it stands, it says:
"Although the identity of H. haroldcookii did not achieve general acceptance in the scientific community, and although the species was retracted a decade after its discovery, creationists have promoted this episode as an example of the scientific errors that they allege undermine the credibility of how palaeontology and hominid evolution theories are crafted, and how information is peer reviewed or accepted as mainstream knowledge."
It seems somewhat revisionist, as the "Nebraska Man" was taught in textbooks for quite some time, and the findings were published in the highest rated scientific perr-reviewed journal Science. I think this section should have the creationist comments removed for fairness.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Daveleau (talk • contribs) 00:21, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

Nebraska Man is used to make a case that evidence that man descended from apes is wrong; I don't know anyone who's trying to make that case besides creationists, and if they exist they are way out on the fringe.

Talk:Virginia dynasty

message: Article says:
:By the end of Monroe's first term the Federalist Party had essentially disbanded and Monroe was re-elected in 1820 without any real opposition. One elector cast his electoral vote for Secretary of State John Quincy Adams, son of John Adams. This was to preserve the record of George Washington as being the only person to receive all of the electoral votes and technically have been elected unanimously.
But Era of Good Feeling states:
:The Era reached its peak in the election of 1820, when President Monroe was re-elected with all but one electoral vote. A common but false belief is a vote was withheld only due to the voter's concern that George Washington should remain as the sole president elected unanimously.

Talk:National Anthem of Honduras

message: This translation was recently added for verse V:
It was France, the free, the heroic,
Which in your dreams of centuries slept,
Awoke irate to life
At the virile protest of Danton:
It was France, who sent to the Death
The head of the consecrated King,
And which rose up haughtily to your side,
The altar of godly reason.''
I see following errors:
"Which in your dreams of centuries slept" Correct translation should show that France was asleep, but the verse reads as the reader or someone else is the one being asslep.
"Awoke irate to life"
Irate is an adjective, but in this line the irate is used as an adverb for awoke.  The correct form would be "irately". Also maybe reversing the order may enhance it Irately awoke.
"It was France, who sent to the Death"
This line suggest France is sending something to "The Death", but the correct translation is that actually "France sent death"
"And which rose up haughtily to your side"
Again your side is incorrect since the correct translation is to its own side.
"The altar of godly reason"
Here godly is an adjective, but the correct translation for "Diosa Razon" would be "Reason God" or "God of Reason" Wikihonduras 01:37, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Riddle game

message: I disagree. The Riddle Game is an ancient and highly respected form of intellectual combat, found in Greek, Celtic, and Norse myth (and others, I'm sure, though these are my areas of personal knowledge). The Riddle Game should be distinguished from simple riddles, which serve chiefly as entertainment. The Riddle Game is played for high stakes, and the outcome is usually of great importance, such as Bilbo's attainment of the ring, and Odin's riddling of the giant Vafthruthnir, from which he learns of the future of the nine worlds.
I Disagree as well. The riddle game is, by its definition far more important than a simple riddle, the fact that it is a game implies a winner a loser. The stakes are higher and it is used almost solely in mythology, nobody in the real world wagers anything of value on a riddle. People who succeed at winning a riddle game are nearly always granted fame and heroism, even if they lacked it previously, such as Bilbo, Oedipus, or even people who answer a leprechaun's riddle.
: I think this article could stand on its own for the reasons mentioned above. If someone were to add a history of riddle games including more details regarding the various stories as well as where they first appeared I think it could be a really interesting article. Alexforcefive

message: "BYTE in 1984 reported that Venix on the PC outperformed the same operating system on the DEC Professional and PDP-11/23."
The article, BYTE pg 134  says:

No. 8 PDP-11/23 Version VEXIX 5.5 Seconds.
No. 14 DEC Pro/350 Version VENIX 6.3 seconds.
They did not add "Smaller is better" in those days because they thought that people would know better.
I must explain! Since a PDP-11/23 ran the benchmark in 5.5 seconds vs 9.0 seconds, it was FASTER.

thread_title:  Planets don't twinkle 

message: This article on the appearance of stars and planets, replaces one I had written earlier. It relies on the false statement that the eye can form images of the planets which are circular discs. The eye has a scotopic resolution of approximately 3 arcminutes. (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye#Visual_acuity).
Apparent planetary size varies (http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/planetary/planetfact.html) but is mostly about 0.5 arcminutes. The absolute largest is the crescent Venus at 1.1 arcminute. So the image of a planet is unresolved and is not a disc. I have replaced the article with the original.RayJohnstone (talk) 12:15, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I somewhat doubt that the matter is as black and white as you perceive it. First of all, the difference between 3 arcminutes and 0.5 arcminutes (assumimg you did not mistype) is not so huge that the latter falling within the range of human variation implausible.  Second, there is the question of how resolution is defined. Anyone that has ever read an eye chart is aware that there is no clear line that distinguishes the "resolvable" verses the "unresolvable"; and furthermore, the range in twinkle what is resolvable and what can be perceived as being something that is larger in 2 dimensions than a dimensionless POINT (such as a star) goes well beyond only what is resolvable. Only the ability to perceive planets as the latter would be needed for this to be the cause of the planets' lack of twinkle. Firejuggler86 (talk) 19:42, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Planets don't twinkle (someone's replacement article)

message: The article has this statement that I think is misleading: "light rays near the horizon must penetrate a denser layer of and have longer paths through the atmosphere before reaching the observer". What is the "penetrate a denser layer" part based on?
Consider an observer standing at sea level: they can view something near the horizon and something near the zenith. If they could send a barometer along each light path that measures air density along the way, the way this article reads now seems to imply that the barometer going toward the horizon would measure absolute values that are higher (more dense) than the barometer going toward the zenith. Why would that be true? Why would we not expect both light paths to pass through exactly the same layers of air with the same densities, but the path toward the horizon would simply take a longer path through those same layers?
I propose removing the words "must penetrate a denser layer of and". The rest of the sentence makes it clear that a path toward the horizon is longer.
