message: Why posit a link to an article to be called "bad mathematics"? Unless its the name of a rock band or something, "bad mathematics" is no more notable a subject of its own article than bad gymnastics or bad history, both of which will also likely stay red. 
I'm removing the brackets from this story. 
Reportedly, some of Arp's calculations seem to be simply "bad mathematics".

message: I long ago submitted a photo for this article, it was a scan of a photo that was printed on the back of a Wisconsin Highway Map that was issued for 1981.  I thought I had the right copyright info supplied but I must not have and it was removed by OrphanBot a few weeks later.  I am admittedly a novice when it comes to photo copyrights, but I think it would qualify as a fair use because it was on a map issued for free distribution by the State of Wisconsin.

Category talk:Indigenous languages of the Americas

message: hi. does anyone know what is the received list of culture areas in South America (assuming there is one)? I know there is that multivolume handbook from the 1950s (which I havent looked at), but I was wondering if anyone had read anything more recent. The only thing I have looked up so far is the 12 "geolinguistic regions" of Terrence Kaufman (1990, 1994), which he says are based on genetic linguistic, typological linguistic, cultural, and geographical features. I am using Kaufman's list in :Category:Indigenous languages of the Americas (which you can see there). Any other competing culture area lists?

message: Hi there:
I noticed that the template has a row whose members are , , and , and I'm going to eliminate this row once I've posted this message.  Here's why:
* The succession row is redundant with the succession table which every Chief Justice already has.
* We could theoretically remove the entry succession table instead of the succession row, but the succession table reports the Chief Justice's term to a finer level of accuracy.
* The  and  is redundant with the USChiefJustices template itself.

thread_title: Navbox layout feedback

message: This box's information is now effectively a subset of Template:SCOTUS Justices.  This creates an issue on pages of individuals who have been Chief Justices of the United States, in that both boxes (with redundant information) can be applied to their pages.  As Drdpw correctly observes, there is a redundancy between the two boxes (recent edits on Taft's page), and I feel that the more recently created box is the better of the two, because it encapsulates the whole history of the court's succession and seats at-a-glance, together with the row for Chief Justices.
I therefore suggest that the appropriate merge/deletion action (this is "above my pay grade" at the moment as I'm catching on) take place with regard to the present box.  For the record I prefer the more recently-created box, cited above, and I will leave a parallel comment at its talk page shortly. MinnesotanUser (talk) 00:26, 13 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:United States Fish and Wildlife Service list of endangered mammals and birds

message: Jeez, Thanks for fixing up this page. It looks great!
One problem is that when I started this page, I didn't copy all of the species over -- there were just too many of them. You may have noticed that 'birds' stops abruptly on the letter 'M'. There also aren't any reptiles, amphibians, or plants listed.
If you want to, you'd be welcome to go the the Fish and Wildlife service page to get the entire list (www.fws.gov). That would be a heck of a lot of work, though.

Talk:Reidgotaland

message: The information that "hreidr" means "bird's nest" is very enlightening. Presumably this is a noun rather than a verb, meaning "place where chicks are raised" (perhaps made of "reeds"). Most birds re-nest in the same spot, rather than moving around (as did the Ostrogoths and Visigoths), so perhaps a better translation of Reidgotaland would be "Goth birth-place" or "Goth home-land"? In the tales of King Heidrek, the reference is clearly to the Geats/Gautar (the Goths remaining behind in Scandinavia) rather than those roaming around the continent. The Geats were also called the WEDErs. Is this connected to the sWEDEs? Is "Geat" connected with "git" and/or "goat", given the folk-mythology (untrue in reality)that Swedes are a little "slow"? Jeff Stevenson.
In my opinion it is better to link the "mainland" goths to the Scandinavian "Gutar" or "Gotlanders", than the "Geats", given the etymology of the namnes. In west Norse the ethnonym "Gotar" is given both the "Goths" and the "Gotlanders". The east Norse equivalent is "Gutar", which for instance accure in the famous runic inscription of the Swedish "Rök-stone". The population on the island of Gotland still refer to themselves in their own mothers-tongue as "Gutar".(Joar)
:In Heidrek's case it is quite obvious that Reidgotaland refers to the Ukraine, see Hervarar saga. I don't think that there's any connection between weder and swede, since weder was an Anglo-Saxon word and the Swedes were called Sweon in Anglo-Saxon.--Wiglaf 09:30, 18 August 2005 (UTC)
