message: I removed this sentence from the section Cultural associations:
:In Theravada Buddhism, called Medhankara – මේධංකර, Butea monosperma is said to have been used as the tree to achieve enlightenment, or Bodhi, by Buddha. The plant is known as කෑල in Sinhala.
Basically, I found the source that it may have been taken from: 
but then if we look up the Cowen source , there is no reference to Theravada Buddhism!
Since I don't know Sinhala, i can't check any original sources. Please let me know if you know more. Drew Stanley (talk) 02:27, 4 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Theravada Buddhism 

message: The below section was removed from the article.
I did not create the section, but i believe we can fix it and put it back in. the reason is that many of the english sources actually use these names (like palasha) to describe the plant. It used to be in the introductory section - the whole list, and some of the elements are redirects (again like palasha), but I moved it for readability. I am working on fixing the section to make it standard as well as adding references that can be found.

Talk:Pea crab

message: I was wondering, in the beginning of the article, it says that the pea crab lives in a bivalve through symbiosis, yet at the end of the article, it says recent studies shown that it damages the gills of the mollusks, thus making it a parasite, should I or someone change it?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.27.10.1 (talk) 21:24, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, what you say is true according to the original definition. However, there is no consensus and some biologists define symbiotic relationships to be equivalent to mutualistic ones. This should probably be addressed. For now I have only added a link to the symbiosis page, but that is a temporary fix. Mad2Physicist (talk) 12:34, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  hi everyone 

message: I don't know if that article was perhaps originally intended to be about one species of pea crab in particular, or one genus? We also have an article on Pinnotheridae, the pea crabs. Maybe the two articles should either be merged, or perhaps differentiated in some way? Invertzoo (talk) 14:05, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it was. This article was originally about Pinnotheres pisum in particular, and I have returned it to that. Accordingly, I have taken out the otter photo which, having been taken in California, cannot show P. pisum. It is still in place on the Pinnotheridae article, where it belongs. We may have to think about renaming some of these articles. --Stemonitis (talk) 08:40, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Cornelis de Kiewiet

message: Something needs to be said about the role that de Kiewiet plays in the thinking of Hannah Arendt. His account of the history of South Africa has an enormous role on the development of Arendt's own thinking about race (cf. Chapter 7 of Origins of Totalitarianism, "Race and Bureaucracy." In this chapter, de Kiewiet [sometimes cited as just Kiewiet, sometimes cited as de Kiewiet] is cited relentlessly, to the extent that one thinks the entire chapter is basically lifted from his book).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.232.118.88 (talk) 06:02, 9 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Dracaena fragrans

message: According to all other sources I’ve seen (including the ones linked in the references here) Dracaena should be in the Agavaceae family. 2600:8801:C409:DB00:8905:11EE:41A:7ACC (talk) 14:37, 12 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Go to Dracaena and find the taxonbar near the bottom of the article. Follow links to different taxonomic databases. You'll find that PoWO, GRIN, GBIF, APNI, etc. all place the genus in Asparagaceae. That's because they follow the APG IV system as we here do. Some sources do not, as the introduction to Dracaena says. We don't repeat the alternative views of the placement of the genus in every species article. Peter coxhead (talk) 15:13, 12 July 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ukrainian wedding traditions

thread_title:  Sections 

message: Currently, the text in the Wedding Ceremony section reads: "The couple steps up on a rushnyk before they take their vows." Vows (i.e. the whole "to have and to hold from this day forward, for better for worse, for richer for poorer...") were not (and in many cases still are not) part of the church wedding ceremony (see Marriage vows on wikipedia). All of the Ukrainian Orthodox and Ukrainian Greek Catholic trebniks that I have ever seen do not contain these vows, or only have them as a footnote as something optional that can be inserted if the couple insists on them. There are, of course, other vows (e.g. "do you take this man...as your husband? I do."), but these, as well as the exchange of rings, take place at the back of the church, long before the couple ever steps on the rushnyk (which is at the front of the church in front of the tetrapodion.

thread_title: merger

message: Given the back-and-forth on some of the alumni and seeing the current list, I think that the list should only include those with some kind of notability; i.e., national notability, recognition, etc.  I don't think that just being an athlete at the college level should count.  And while being a CEO may be a big thing, SJJ has a lot of alumni who might count and being a CEO may be more of a temporal thing.  Let's keep it pertinent to notability.  Perhaps we ought to ask for outside sources.  Therefore, I think the list should be culled down to the following (and I've bolded the reason for their notability):
*Rev. Karl Joseph Alter - Archbishop of Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Cincinnati, technically an alumnist of St. John's College, the original school at St. John's Jesuit.
*John Amaechi - 1988 - NBA player, of the Cleveland Cavaliers and also the first openly homosexual player in the NBA. 
*Nick Anderson - editorial cartoonist - winner of the 2005 Pulitzer Prize for Editorial Cartooning
*Rob Chudzinski - 1986 - NFL/NCAA football former player & coach - the current offensive coordinator of the Cleveland Browns
*Michael B. Coleman - 1972 - current mayor of Columbus, Ohio
*Scott Parsons - 2002 and 2003 US National Champion in K-1 Whitewater Slalom Kayak; 2003 Pan American Games silver medalist; 2004 US Olympic Trials Champion. 
*Michael D. Sallah - Miami Herald investigative reporter and editor who received the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting.
*Erick Iskersky - Champion tennis player who shows up in Wikipedia -- but what level??
*Owen Wilson - Legendary coach and player of "How's It Goin Owen" Intramural teams
*David Colturi - 2007 - Purdue diver who placed fifth in olympic qualifying for the 2008 Beijeng Olympics

message: The stamp tax was never actually put into place in the colonies.  It was passed by Parliament in February 1765 and scheduled to be active November 1, 1765, but because of the protest, tax collectors and colonial bureaucrats ignored it come November.  Thus, the act did not "cause" documents to be printed on taxed paper, because that did not happen.  There was only one Parliament in London at this time (removed the plural "parliaments").  Removed note about "citations" because nothing was cited.--RedJ 17 (talk) 20:40, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: The organisation of clubs was based on major employers, eg CSKA was the team of the army, Lokomotiv the team of the railway workers, Dynamo the team of the police force. There was very little movement of top players, certainly in terms of movement to the west - leaving the Eastern Bloc was similar to Cuban baseball players defecting to the US today. I don't think they were paid salaries per se but the players had cushy "jobs" within the structure of the parent organisation. The fact they weren't paid salaries meant that the Eastern Bloc countries could play their full national sides in the Olympics, whereas Western countries only sent the highest level of non-professional players.
