Talk:Navy Board

message: I have reverted a recent change to the last version by me, because the person trying to alter it (inserting 'wikitable') had done so incompletely.  I do not know what was intended and must leave the user (not signed in) to try again.  On the other hand, there is a template , which seems to be directed more to the modern navy than the historic one.  Perhaps some one could think about how to improve that.

Talk:Breeding back

message: the aurochs has not been bred back. A breed of cattle vaguely resembling them and sharing much of their genetic makeup has been bred anew, but if you're at all familiar with the perimeters of selective breeding, "much" doesn't mean much of anything. The modern cattle are most notably nowhere near the size of true Aurochs. 6'6" at the shoulders vs barely over 5 feet at the shoulders, among other differences. It's more fitting to include this in the article as an ongoing ATTEMPT to breed back the aurochs, because had the modern heck co-existed with the aurochs, it would have been easily discernible to even someone with zero interest in bovinae.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.246.200.19 (talk) 10:02, 8 February 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Gene regulation 

message: I might be wrong, but I don't think the example of the American Alsatian fits in here. The dire wolf was a wolf and the American Alsatian is a dog. Creating a new dog breed that looks like an extinguished wolf variety is not the same as breeding back an extinguished wolf variety, opinions? (SybilleY (talk) 14:37, 17 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd suggest looking at the source material and see what they have to say.  The whole concept of "breeding back" is, IMHO, just an attempt to use domestic animals and breed them to look like wild ones.  They aren't really recreating a true genetic example because the genetic material is extinct.   In the case of horse examples, which I know best, it is impossible to recreate the extinct genetic stock of the Tarpan, so it's just a lookalike.   Montanabw(talk) 19:57, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

message: My grandfather, Victor Beckstrom, was a painter who worked on the Smith property.  He described the place, including the statue, often.  When he described Smith, my grandfather said he was a 'good man, a little strange'.  Smith would 'lock himself in his studio with a box of cigars and not come out until the week's strips were done.  His food was passed through a panel in the door or set on a table/the floor.  He never saw anyone until he left the room.'

Talk:John Barlas

message: Do we have a source claiming Barlas had syphilis? The only decent source I've been able to find, this review of a biography, makes only a passing reference to the idea, and only in order to contradict it. Referencing Cohen on this would require purchasing and reading his Barlas biography; unfortunately, this is not for me, but a more dedicated Barlas scholar than I may want to go through with it. Otherwise, I think it would probably be more productive to strike the syphilis reference from our article entirely. This was often a circumstantial diagnosis, and remains a stigmatized one. If we don't have any sources, it may be better to leave it undiscussed.

message: There seems to be some to-ing and fro-ing on whether co-directed films should be included in this template.  Mainly this has been down to an inconsistency, as an editor was removing Amazon Women on the Moon, but leaving The Twilight Zone.  Whatever is decided, we need to be consistent.  Personally, I don't see why the co-directed films shouldn't be included, as after all Landis did have a hand in directing these movies.  Is there a precedent?  There seems to be a lot of variatons in these director navboxes.  Compare :Template:Joe Dante, which includes The Twilight Zone, and :Template:George Miller which doesn't.
