"Koenigsegg came out with their outgoing model, the Agera. "  Outgoing?  I think this is probably a direct translation from another language. In english, it would either mean the car has an extrovert personality or perhaps that they are stopping production of it.

message: Electro-pneumatic valve actuation is hardly a new field of research. The technology itself has existed in non-automotive form for countless years, and while still not yet suitable for road cards, this company is hardly the only one to be pursuing it and similar technology. Every auto company dreams of and is doubtless researching fully-controllable valve actuation through electro-pneumatic, electro-hydraulic, and purely electronic.

message: With regards to this edit, on what basis can it be rejected that Brad Buxer is an uncredited co-writer of the song? Just because his name isn't in the credits does not mean it is pure speculation, and album credits may not always be accurate. There is proof that Brad Buxer was indeed a co-writer: he very vividly details the occasion he and Michael worked on the song together in this interview with the MJCast in 2019 (from around the 46 minute mark to 50 minutes) - composing the song's music and developing the chord changes together in Michael's hotel room in Moscow, based on a Sonic the Hedgehog cue (which Brad Buxer composed).

Talk:Christiane Nüsslein-Volhard

message: I do not feel that the Nüsslein-Volhard/Wieschaus screen was 'big science' i.e. involving a large number of people not a small group, and extremely expensive. Obviously it was very influential, and in its ambition to find and classify all the embryonic lethal genes it was indeed a significant change towards a more systematic approach to biology. However I understand that the screen were essentially undertaken by four people (Nüsslein-Volhard, Wieschaus, Gerd Jürgens and Hildegard Kluding , and was not massively costly, so was not a big science project as commonly understood. Surely big science did not reach basic molecular biology until the physical map construction/genome sequencing projects? Celefin (talk) 11:44, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Christiane Taubira

message: She toned down the law the same day the first gay marriage was officiated in France. The nationals of 11 countries, even some in the EU, do not have this right unless they renounce this nationality. All in the name of some treaties that are ignored anyway. Or are they ignored because they are with former colonies? Which would make things even worse for a minister that prides herself with the colonies. User:Mezigue keeps removing the reference. I'm not into editing wars or anything. So if you find your way to put this information, be my guest. There are many more references, both in English and French, including the fact that the French minister ignores the Algerian treaty regarding mixed religion marriage as long as it is heterosexual, of course.

Talk:The queen

message: I must disagree. "The Queen" ought to be redirected to Elizabeth II of the UK. Although very informal Her Majesty Elizabeth II is known as "the Queen" worldwide. Even other languages use the word "Queen" as a synonym for HM instead of th literal translation "Königin".

replies: text: I'd hardly say the term is used "world wide" to refer to EIIR; in the Anglosphere, perhaps, but that certainly isn't the entire planet. I thus agree with others here that it's a bit presumptuous to say the only person one could be looking for when typing in "the Queen" is EIIR. Further, there is already an article The Queen, which would be the proper way to refer to any current queen regnant or consort within her jurisdiction. --G2bambino 16:46, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Stupify

message: Umm,Latina/Latino is not a race.  So the song may be about prejudice, but not race.
:The definition of the social construct known as "race" is so variable (both sociopolitically and anthropologically speaking) that one could spend a lifetime debating the issue of "what constitutes race".  The fact is, many (primarily "white") people in the United States tend to view any group of people whose culture and apperance differs from their own as a seperate "race".  Regardless of the validity of the term "race" with regard to hispanics/latinos, those people whose treatment of or opinions about hispanics/latinos are based on a belief based on perceived "racial" differences, be they real or imagined, are legitmately considered "racists" by most reasonable people in mainstream society.  -Grammaticus Repairo 16:16, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

message: To clarify what I said in the comments when I replaced the blanked out text: It is clearly not a case of WP:UNDUE, because both criticisms and defenses of her are sourced to "reliable sources," including the New York Times and Cooper's own network. It may arguably be a case of WP:BALASPS, but I don't think a single six-line paragraph on an incident which got an entire NYT article about her and references to her on almost every major TV news network for the first time in 30 years is an inappropriate weight. It's not the defining moment of her life, either, but if the problem is six lines is a disproportionate length to all the other information, fill in the rest of the article with more significant information. Don't remove perfectly valid, weighted and sourced information that would be perfectly fine if her article were longer because Wikipedia was around in 1984 at the peak of her fame. -- JCaesar (talk) 04:11, 4 March 2014 (UTC)

At no point in the song do the lyrics suggest that. There are a lot of lines that suggest he's actually talking about subdivisions though:

replies: text: The Korean name listed in this article is literally Kim Cho Rong, her birth name. The family name Kim is of course listed first. You'll note that a few of the other Korean born LPGA members use English names, although most do not. Probably a matter of personal preference. I find it useful to have the Korean name available in Wikipedia. You can use the Korean characters with Google (assuming you have Korean language support on your computer) to find Korean articles about Christina, and photos. Translation websites will get you the text, more or less. The Korean name is thus useful for research. Should it be clarified that it's Christina's  Korean name? That's up to you.

message: If I recall correctly the lyrics for "Subterraneans" as they appeared printed on the 1977 sheet music (available for sale at the time in some record stores) were different from those included with the 1999 liner notes. For example the first line was "share bride failing so," although to my ear "failing star" sounds more accurate and is more poetically evocative per the song's mood. Also, the repeated word "surely" was spelled as such, not as the proper name "Shirley." If anyone reading this happens to still have the original 1977 sheet music a confirmation or correction regarding this memory would be appreciated.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.46.30.126 (talk) 07:30, 31 August 2016 (UTC)
