message: Hello,
Can anyone solve this problem? None of the variants spoken by the Kongo sub-groups are one of the four national languages. It is a mistake to put "Kongo (language)|Kikongo".  Put instead "Kituba (language)|Kikongo". You encourage error by leaving "Kongo (language)|Kikongo", plus the Kituba and Kikongo pages contain explanations on this subject. 
Thank you in advance! Somebody040404 (talk) 10:48, 7 August 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Albert Schinz

message: I am a senior English major at Towson University in an Editing class. The project requires the class to edit several American Editor stubs, and I am assigned to edit Albert Schinz's stub. I hope to better familiarize myself with Wikipedia since I am unfamiliar with the website's capabilities, as well as learn about the historical background of some of the lesser researched editors. Unfortunately, I have been unable to find credible information about Albert Schinz. Does anyone have any recommendations as to where I can look for bibliographic information to add to this stub?

thread_title:  Attention all researchers 

message: Hi Kcallan.  I would suggest trying the research method recommended by our librarian at Towson.  Links to his recommended sites are on Blackboard. I'll bet you can find titles of some of the works he edited, and maybe the years he studied at school and what his degrees are in. I also wonder when did he immigrate? Was he married? Since he was a philosopher, and some of his works have been translated, you could summarize the subject and gist of his philosophical approach as a scholar in that area. One thing I noticed in the article is that Schinz is an "American French and philosophical scholar." Does that mean he is ethnically American French, or he studies it?  Should it be "scholar of American French and philosophy?" There are also some comma errors. Mportolano (talk) 12:16, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Comments and Suggestions 

message: I have looked through some of my group member's cites and noticed some people were offering brief summaries of the texts written by their editors.

message: This help request has been answered. If you need more help, please place a new  request on this page followed by your questions, or contact the responding user(s) directly on their user talk page.
 I am trying to add book titles to the list of works published by Albert Schinz, but I have obviously made an error in referencing the book that I added. I consulted the Wiki page listed in the error message, but I did not understand it at all. What am I doing wrong?

So war, the philosopher may be disambiguated even here. The discipleship of Plutarch doesn't allow to identify both of them with a unique person, given that the second is said to be flourished in the 3rd century. 
For both of them the exact date and place of birth are unknown, as if they were a unique ange (obiously, this is nothing more than joke for analogue cases).Theologian81sp (talk) 14:59, 8 June 2021 (UTC)

thread_title:  Assessment 

message: Hello!  I am more than quite capable of fixing it, but I'm both very tired and very lazy.  For some reason, the article calls Evans a town. I am pretty sure that Evans is unincorporated (I used to live in the adjacent Martinez and still live nearby) but has characteristics of an incorporated place, I believed this would be called a Census Designated Place. I am pretty sure Evans remains unincorporated.  If I recall correctly, in Columbia County, Georgia only Harlem and Grovetown are incorporated. Adam (talk) 06:38, 21 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: Some issues with terminology in the article

message: It looks like more than once the schools have been expanded to include all of Columbia County schools.  Since Grovetown is actually an incorporated town, and Harlem is a town a significant distance from Evans, I don't think schools in either can legitimately be called schools serving Evans.

message: In the leader it reads "Clofibric acid is ... a naturally-ocurring pharmaceutical compound," but the linked reference does not say anything about its progeny, only about its breakdown in the environment compared to other manmade compounds. It seems unlikely that this compound is naturally occurring because it has not been found or even theorized to be made by any organism other than man; chlorinated organic compounds of this type are relatively rare; and it is already known to be synthesized and released into the environment by man. I think this info should be removed from the leader unless someone can find a better source for it, because it is very misleading if untrue. morsontologica (talk) 23:46, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

message: Hi  I have some feedback for you regarding this article:
*I don't think information about her marriage/husband/dissolution belongs in the section "Professional achievements". Instead, you could create a "Personal life" section where content like this is listed
*Links seem a little scarce, particularly in the "Early life and education" section where there is currently only one. What topics might the reader want to learn more about? I like to have at least one link per paragraph (and sometimes many more than that)
*Wikipedia Manual of Style policies say that we shouldn't use the term "Dr." to refer to people, even if they are a PhD or MD (MOS:DOCTOR). So instead of "Dr. Edward Gaylord Bourne", you can just have "Edward Gaylord Bourne".
*I would probably remove this sentence "The collection is open for research use" as it sounds like advice or a notice.
