Talk:Taum Sauk Dam Failure

message: I'm for merging this page into the main article, but might wait a little while – it's convenient to collect information here that can then be thoughtfully merged there in a coherent manner.
Also, I'm not entirely comfortable with the term "dam" for the upper reservoir.  A dam is an obstruction that holds back flowing water, IMHO.  The transitive verm "dam" means to obstruct and/or impound a flow.  The upper reservoir is much more like a very large above-ground swimming pool.  The structure has been described as a very large berm.  I think it more accurate just to say that the reservoir was breached or failed and that there is a large gap in the berm that forms the reservoir. — Kbh3rdtalk 18:14, 15 December 2005 (UTC)

Also, IMHO, the picture part can be moved to the external link's section.  Otherwise, it is too distracting to the reader (and again, has no bearing on the rest of the article).  If you feel incline to include a picture in the article, then why don't you upload the picture?  Most likely the picture qualifies as fair use (as part of election picture)?

"In literary theory, the term formalism refers to critical approaches that analyze, interpret, or evaluate the inherent features of a text. These features include not only grammar and syntax but also literary devices such as meter and tropes. By making the text an object of such inquiry, formalism diminishes the importance of the text’s historical, biographical, and cultural context." Katalogon (talk) 16:31, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Merger of ''[[Formalist theory in composition studies]]'' 

message: I can't find a Wikipedia page giving the meaning ascribed to this word in this article.
The OED's closest definition is "to mention two things together to imply they are equal or have something in common".
I found a reference to the term in Kristi Siegel's "Introduction to Modern Literary Theory" webpage () viz:
"Phenomenological Reduction - a concept most frequently associated with Edmund Husserl; as explained by Terry Eagleton (see General Resources below) "To establish certainty, then, we must first of all ignore, or 'put in brackets,' anything which is beyond our immediate experience: we must reduce the external world to the contents of our consciousness alone....Everything not 'immanent' to consciousness must be rigorously excluded: all realities must be treated as pure 'phenomena,' in terms of their appearances in our mind, and this is the only absolute data from which we can begin" (55)."
I suggest the term is private to literary theory and in aid of educating a wider public (like me) some reference to this context on the page would be helpful. I hope the OP would have a more concise citation than I just provided above (which is why I didn't edit the original page but instead came here).

*In the episode "The Spy Who Liked Me", after Tuesday realizes that her boyfriend in working for S.N.A.F.U., she suddenly gets zapped away from GlowFace. In the third shot, you might see Mrs. X sorta helping Tuesday up after she got hurt. This is similar to an episode of Sailor Moon, when a bad guy blasted Sailor Moon (a.k.a., Serena) with his stick. Then her four friends sort of helped her up.
Not relevant. There are plenty of times someone was helped up after being attacked.

*In the 'Rediscovery' section, "The I-401 lies about 820 meters off the coast of Barbers Point." I think that this sentence should read: "The I-401 lies in about 820 meters of water off Barbers Point." (my emphasis)
Both excerpts would not take very much effort to fix, but I am reluctant to do so, as it might not be what was intended and besides, I do not have the sources. Are there any better equipped editors out there?
