thread_title:  Urban Legends? 

message: This section is not needed for the simple fact that incubation period is used only medically to indicate the time it takes to develop symptoms after exposure to an infective agent such as bacteria, virus, protist, or prion. As tungiasis is technically an infestation, not an infection, the term incubation period does not apply.

thread_title:  Incubation Period 

message: Transmission of tungiasis is strictly by infection of Tunga penetrans. Tungiasis is technically an infestation, not infection. Infestation is the pathological condition where a parasite invades a body. The term infection is reserved for conditions caused by microorganisms such as virus, bacteria, protist, or the infectious agent ption.

thread_title: Untitled

message: #Here's how things are done concerning abbreviations. Basically, you write out "State Route 161" and then put ("SR 161"), with the parentheses. Then, for all other state routes, you can just refer to them as "SR ###". This is also true for highways of other types such as Interstates, U.S. Routes, and County Routes.
#The KML template should use . Right now, it isn't shown in the title, which differs from most if not all other USRD articles (except for in New York, but that's another story).
#"Ohio's Capital" - Why is "Capital" capitalized? (Heh...capital is capital-ized...I'm a nerd.)
#A USRD lead, at least for minor state routes such as this one, almost always includes two paragraphs. The first one has the basic stuff: The route's name, mileage, location, etc. This paragraph summarizes the route description. The second paragraph should state when the route was established and all that good stuff. That paragraph summarizes the history.
#Onto the history. If you play your cards correctly in the lead with the abbreviations, like I mentioned in comment #1, you should be able to lower the section's amount of fluff significantly by abbreviating all the state routes.
#Generally speaking, a highway should not be referred to only by its number, as you do many times within the article. Wikipedia has a very formal tone, so you should always refer to it by its official abbreviation, in this case "SR 161".
#Using the same place name twice in rapid succession generally doesn't read well. One phrase I'm referring to in particular is, "a concurrency from 5 miles (8.0 km) west of Dublin to Dublin". The second usage of "Dublin" could probably use a different noun like "the city itself" or something similar.
#You know how I mentioned abbreviations above? Well, you can do the same thing with departments of transportation. When you mention the Ohio Department of Transportation in the lead, you can add the abbreviation in parentheses, then you can refer to it therein as ODOT.

Talk:Department of Botany

message: This article does not state where this Department of Botany is.  First-person is also discouraged per WP:MOS.  -RaCha'ar 13:15, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, now I know where it is, however: individual departments in colleges rarely get individual articles on Wikipedia.  As it stands right now the article reads like an advertisement for the department.  It's not clear to me why the department is notable enough for its own article separate from the main college article, so I have added the mergeto tag.  It would fit in better with the Madras Christian College article.  -RaCha'ar 13:35, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:McLaren MP4/8

message: According to this news item, the car Senna raced in 1993 was the MP4/8A, presumably so-designated because of the subsequent 8B. Was it called the 8A at the time, or only later? Should the article reflect this?
Should the news of its sale be added to the article, for completeness (perhaps wait until after the sale)?

Talk:List of baseball players who went directly to Major League Baseball

message: Does Ichiro, or any other Japanese import for that matter really belong on this list?  While he never played in the American Minor League system, he did have a considerable career in Japan's Pacific League. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wheasley (talk • contribs) 23:05, April 25, 2007
:I am not opposed to having them in on principal.  It's really up to the community to decide.  That being said, I don't think that is the intention of the article.  A player who has professional experience at any level seems contrary to the intent.  I made some adjustments to the intro and removed Ichiro Suzuki because of that.  // Tecmobowl (talk) 18:00, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  this article 

message: Similar to the Japanese players, it seems to me to be inappropriate to include those who come from the Cuban system. Even though technically amateurs, the Cuban system is high quality and a place where players can reside for several years before defecting and joining a Major League team, so it does not seem within the spirit of this collection. Maybe a better title would be "List of drafted baseball players who went directly to the major leagues". Thus I removed Alexei Ramirez. Anyone who disagrees should note that there are several other players (El Duque, Jose Contreras, ...) who should then also be included, for consistency.

message: Ariel Prieto shows making a professional debut for the A's in 1995 at the major league level; according to Baseball Reference he also played for Palm Springs in the independent Western League in 1995.  This can't have been after he was drafted by the A's, and independent leagues are professional baseball.  I think he should be removed from the list.

Talk:Ferdinand von Sammern-Frankenegg

message: The description of Category:War criminals states:
This category contains the names of people convicted of war crimes and related subcats.
(emphasis mine -- int19h)
So either my edit was correct, or that description is wrong. I'm assuming the first to be the case and re-reverting. If you believe the description is indeed wrong, then let's go ahead and discuss it at Category talk:War criminals. -- int19h 13:29, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The category you refer to has been recently introduced by a single user in a broken edit attempt. Most convicted war criminals (e.g. Heinrich Himmler, and indeed all others convicted in the course of Nuremberg Trials) are still at Category:War criminals. Furthermore, the description at Category:War criminals still says what it says. Like I said, if you feel it's wrong, let's go ahead and discuss it there. I will not revert this time, but I will do that eventually, for the sake of consistency, if Category:War criminals remains as it is, and no attempt at discussion shall be made. -- int19h 14:00, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

text: The description of Category: War criminals still does not match its contents. I want them to be consistent, that is all. If you want another name, there's Rudolf Hess, for example - he was convicted, and is listed at both Category: War criminals and Category:People convicted in the Nuremberg Trials, but not at Category:People convicted of war crimes. Ditto for Joachim von Ribbentrop. Clearly there's no established consensus on the use of existing categories. Therefore I ask to discuss it so we can reach a certain decision on how to categorise people known to be, claimed to be, or convicted of war crimes, and consistently implement it throughout the relevant articles. I'm not trying to push any political agenda here, only striving for consistency. Also, since the discussion is becoming less and less relevant to this article, I suggest that any further discussion should move to Category talk:War criminals, as the (potentially) widest category of all being discussed. I have already stated my issues with Category: War criminals being used for any people labelled "war criminals" (and not convicted of such) there, and would appreciate your comments.  -- int19h 06:51, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

text: My mistake - didn't notice it's a subcat, and I didn't realise that subcats do not propagate to parent. As for "getting over it" - well, didn't I? I'm not reverting the categorisation anymore. I do have issues with your interpretation of what Category: War criminals is, though, and that is what I'd like to talk about. -- int19h 14:13, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Alexandra High School

message: Alexandra High School is a public school. The South African Schools Act of 1996 states that there are two categories of schools in South Africa: public and independent schools. In England, some of the older independent schools are referred to as public schools but this term is not used in South Africa. - Raker 13:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think you'll find that all the top independent schools in SA are referred to as Public schools. As they typically followed the English terminology (unsurprisingly as SA was a British colony). Public school is commonly used to refer to a top private school not a state school in spite of what the SA Schools Act said. Wikipedia practice is to employ the most common term used. This is not public school. Roydosan 12:41, 7 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Dally M Medal

message: This article essentially contains a description of the Dally M Medal (NRL), the Dally M Medal (NSWRL/ARL), the Rothmans Medal (NSWRL/ARL) and the Rothmans Medal (BRL). This is all included under the title "Dally M Medal", but the aspect of the award which is considered continuous is through the Rothmans Medal (NSWRL/ARL) and the Dally M Medal (NRL). This is confusing and needs to be rectified.
I propose the following fixes, and I need someone who better understands the history of rugby league - as considered "official" by the governing body - to provide input on what is the best option.
* Move the page to "Player of the Year award in rugby league in Australia" (or similar), and otherwise leave the article as it is.
* Move the page to "Player of the Year award in the National Rugby League", and split the Queensland Rothmans Cup into a separate article. This is only accurate if the NRL is properly considered a continuation of the NSWRL/ARL, which I think is correct.
* Split the page into "Dally M Medal" and "Rothmans Medal", and treat the two awards as completely separate. The Rothmans Medal page could then either include both the Queensland and New South Wales versions of the award, or could be subdivided further.
Any other suggestions are also encouraged. Aspirex (talk) 09:15, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

:The use of Garnedd is rumoured to be a mistake by the Ordnance Survey despite the possible soft mutation.
Soft mutation is by far the most natural explanation here - presumably because the name once had the definite article.  Here are a whole load of other examples: Fan Brycheiniog, Fan Fawr, Foel Fenlli, Foel-fras, Foel Grach, Foel Gron, Foel Wen, Garnedd Uchaf, Garreg Lwyd, Waun Fach.
A mistake by the OS is a less natural explanation, which needs more substantiation than an unsourced rumor.
