Talk:Passé composé

message: Can someone add a history of the tense?
==
"or an action has been repeated numerous times in the past"
It is not true.
you don't use passé composé when it is repeated in the past, or when it is an habit. You use "imparfait"
==
These can also be discussed:
* Why is passé composé is preferred over passé simple
* The distinction between passé compose and imparfait
S7even
I think what the article is referring to, S7even, is not a habitual action, but an action that repeats several times in the past. Je ne sais pas combien de fois j'ai dû lui dire de ne pas faire ça.--seberle (talk) 19:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  On/It 

message: From the article, at this time : "acronym DR and MRS VANDERTRAMP"
Whoever wrote this had clearly heard (and remembered) this acronym. But it was never used in the formal teaching I had in Britain in the 70s. (Actually, I don't think any acronyms were used ; didn't stop the class doing fairly well overall.)
How useful acronyms are is one question. Probably not harmful - they're easy enough to ignore. But if anyone knows any different acronyms (especially from British tuition, or teaching of French to native-Eritrean speakers), they might as well go in.

Talk:Narrow-gauge railways in the Czech Republic

message: Reply to Pavel Vozenilek's question Is the Tramway line between Liberec and Jablonec relevant? posted on my talkpage: As for example the German Wikipedia article de:Liste der Schmalspurbahnen in Sachsen (List of narrow gauge railways in Saxony) includes Überlandstrassenbahnen 1000mm (literally over-the-land-tram-lines), I would keep it here. Liberec and Jablonec are separate towns, that do not form a conurbation. The title of the article does not even include the word railway. I did it intentionally, there are/were not many narrow gauge railway lines used for regular public transport in the Czech Republic. JanSuchy 18:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Praa Sands

message: I've edited this page to make it more like a Wikipedia entry, including removing the Advert banner. It may be thought that the article still reads too much like an advert, but since the subject matter is a holiday resort and nearly all its infrastructure serves that industry - then any description of its appearance and facilities are going to reflect the golf course, holiday parks and "bucket and spade" enterprises. Pengersick Castle is the one exception, which was included in the original entry anyway. It would be like trying to describe Las Vegas without sounding like an advert for casinos.
Even as someone living locally I know very little any earlier incarnation. As its name suggests it is a sandy beach first and a community second. Perhaps before its present incarnation the local landowners would dredge sand to "dress" the fields, or small boats would carry away cargoes of tin, or a few fishermen would set pots and so forth - but there is scant evidence. The golf course is on the site of an old mine, but including the derelict pump tower, chimneys and stamping houses as part of the courses hazards would only have made the article more like a brochure.
What I have given is an honest appraisal of the locality. If it sounds like an advert, that is because it reflects the nature of the beast.LessHeard vanU 22:23, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:John Moore (broadcaster)

message: As my previous changes, all of which followed Wiki policies, were reverted with a charge of vandalism, I'm explaining those just made.
The opening paragraph has been shortened in accordance with W:BIO. Information concerning the airing of The John Moore Show has been deleted as it has no place in this paragraph and is discussed later in the article.
In the interests of building a stronger entry, I've eliminate the headers. "Politics" consisted of nothing more than a sentence, while "Notes" was clearly unencyclopedic.
The information in the "Politics" section, which amounts to nothing more than a sentence, has been eliminated. I'd like to include something about Moore's politics, but "Moore's generally left-wing politics stand out on CFRB, but a genial manner endears him to the more traditional and conservative members of his audience" fails to put things in context (is CFRB a conservative station?) and flies in the face of NPOV. 
Again, the "Notes" section has been eliminated as it is unencyclopedic. This information, if important, should be included within the body of the article. Moore's appearance on Jeopardy!, while trivial, may be of interest. I've deleted information concerning the fact that he's interviewed "celebritys". Shouldn't one assume this of an entertainment reporter? I've not included information as to who hosts the The John Moore Show when "Moore is on vacation etc" as this concerns a radio show, not a person.--Victoriagirl 16:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

message: The following sentence seems to be saying that Hempel undermined an Allied operation but it is worded confusingly:
"Some historians have stated that Hempel was involved in undermining the 1942 allied raid on Dieppe to failure by reporting Canadian troop movements on the south coast of England although this charge has been disputed."
Was it failure to report troop movements that undermined the raid? Or did he cause failure of the raid by reporting troop movements? I think what is meant is that Hempel undermined the Allied raid on Dieppe by reporting Canadian troop movements and this helped cause the failure of this operation. However I am unfamiliar with the event and so am unwilling to attempt correction in this article.--Jrm2007 (talk) 02:14, 26 July 2015 (UTC)

"Goo Goo Barabajagal (Love Is Hot)"  ...  and "Trudi" (originally "Bed with Me") resulted from these sessions."

Talk:Caenagnathus

message: So, we have an article for Caenagnathus which says it's valid, but other WP articles, notably Chirostenotes, which say it's a jun. syn. of Chirostenotes.

At the least, WP articles should be consistent! 124.169.225.94 (talk) 04:53, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Current consensus is that it's a synonym of Chirostenotes. One paper has found otherwise, but this doesn't seem to have impacted consensus (and frankly, the methodology was flawed, because it was testing for something else and the non-synonym result was simply a byproduct of the analysis).

Talk:Buick Enclave

message: Where did this notion that the second-gen model is a mid-size CUV come from?  In pretty much every dimension, it's the same size as the first-gen, which is unequivocally a full-size CUV. This very article also states that Buick already has a mid-size, in the Envision. Yes, there is a such thing as a three-row mid-size CUV, slotted between the two-row mid-size and the full-size, but that segment is better suited to CUVs with a shorter than 115" wheelbase, like the Pilot/MDX, Highlander, Sorento, Santa Fe, Pathfinder/QX60, or even the new mid-size Acadia and the upcoming mid-size Chevy CUV.
Is it because the new Traverse/Enclave shares the C1XX platform with the now-mid-size Acadia? Is it because the Buick website markets it as a mid-size, despite already having a mid-size? I found that the Chevy Traverse article also has this same error. I would have gone ahead and edited both articles to better reflect this, but I wanted to make sure there was no debate first. 142.54.26.44 (talk) 17:15, 27 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Buick is calling it a mid-size SUV (official page: ).  They call the Envision a "small luxury SUV".  These are the segments that Buick wants the Envision and Enclave to compete in.  It doesn't help that the new Enclave is no smaller than the old one.  I'd say that, unless we find some reliable sources calling the 2018 Enclave full-size, we'll have to call it mid-size here to match GM. --Vossanova o< 21:12, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

message: The article states that Lks are derived from Arachidonic Acid.  Actually, the series-4 LTs are - LTA4, LTB4.  There are also the the series-5 LT, derived from EPA.

The class is called 'triene' for three double bonds.  Is the class misnamed?  I don't think there even is a series-3 LT;  unlike the case with other eicosanoids, DGLA doesn't have a double bond where it would need to in order for the lipoxygenase to react it.
