message: "It is believed that King Kong inspired the modern day legend of the Loch Ness Monster."
Nonsense. Who believes this? Tales of the Loch Ness Monster pre-date the release of King Kong. Tales of monsters in the lake go back to medieval times. The first photo of the creature was taken the same year the movie was released, but it's doubtful the film had made its way to Scotland by then. 2601:643:8D00:970:4901:BF0C:C666:A5D1 (talk) 05:21, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Before reading this talk page, I spotted that same sentence and made some changes to it. "It is believed," without any more detail, is a perfect example of weasel words. It also suggests a level of certainty (although still incomplete) that is unjustified, as 2601... points out. "Who believes this?" indeed. So I put in the name of the single person, as far as I can tell, who believes it and reduced it to suggesting it. I also put in another link to a source much closer to Loch Ness than New Zealand is.

message: I removed the claim of Brian Wilson being in Rishikesh until a reliable source can be found. I followed these artists very closely during this time. While I cannot "prove" Wilson was not there, I have neither read, seen nor heard mention - print or photo - of him being there. (This includes biographies and the like.) Especially convincing, for me, is the group photo that was taken at the time and was later  published in a Beatles tome. Wilson is nowhere to been seen although all the Beatles and their wives/girlfriend (Jane Asher), Mike Love, Donovan, Mia Farrow and others are pictured. I think it is prudent to remove the Wilson mention until a source can be found to confirm his inclusion in the group of folks there at the time covered. THX1136 (talk) 18:02, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Hypertonic

message: Hypertonic can also refer to a muscle that is over-excited.  Perhaps we need a disambiguation page for hypertonic (biology) and hypertonic (physiology), or maybe they are related?  Rhetth 15:00, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Disambiguation necessary 

message: Tonicity and osmolarity are not exactly the same thing.
"Osmolarity is defined on the basis of an ideal osmometer - one in which the osmotic membrane allows water to pass but completely prevents the solute from passing."
"In contrast, tonicity is defined in terms of the response of cells or tissues immersed in a solution. A solution is considered to be isotonic with a given cell or tissue immersed in it shrinks nor swells..."
Osmolarity refers to solutions in compartments divided by a semipermeable membrane, while tonicity refers to cells or tissues and their behaviour (shrinking or swelling) in a solution.

thread_title:  Tonicity - Osmolarity ? ! 

message: The article is horribly confusing, so I added the  tag. I think it needs to be rewritten because it is an important concept. As an example, the intro section defines "hypertonic" twice, which seems redundant: "In biology, a hypertonic cell environment has a higher concentration of solutes than inside the animal or plant cell." and "A solution which has a higher concentration of solutes than that in a cell is said to be hypertonic."

The Cattle Egret is no longer Bubulcus ibis but Ardea ibis (HANZAB current list - HANZAB vol 1 (1990) used the former name). I don't know anything about Ardeola egrets.

:Reddish Egret is usually, well, reddish, although a small minority (ca 5% in south Florida) are all white, and I suppose Cattle Egret is more buff than white, although that's really a bit nit-picking. Ardeola was me getting confused.
:I suppose it's fair to say that they all have a white/whitish form.
:I don't mind on the taxonomy, although obviously Heron and Egret should have the same sci names. Jim
::(later) I looked up Slaty Egret on Google - it's slate coloured. In the words of the song "egrets, I've had a few, but when they draw the final curtain..."

Talk:Trick-or-treating

message: I'm from St. Louis and grew up in the 1960's.  We were not expected to simply tell a joke - we were expected to do a trick.  I can remember turning somersaults, singing songs, dancing, doing imitations - whatever.  But not everyone required it (most did not) and usually it caught us unprepared.  It wasn't like we planned a.) our costume and b.) our act. Through the years, though, telling a joke became easier, mainly as kids lost imagination and the desire to showoff; "tricks" - as we knew them - simply degenerated into Laffy Taffy wrappers.

Most of these are now too circumstantial, and don't help all that well recognition-wise. So I'll hack in the content of this dab page pretty soon.
