Talk:Muhammad Zaidan

message: I suggest that the title be moved to Muhammad Zaidan. Several million people are named Abu Abbas, and it should be a disambiguation page. The article text refers to him as Zaidan, so I would assume Muhammad Zaidan would be the primary name for him. 
I'm not familiar with this person, so I'll just leave it as a suggestion. Cuñado  - Talk 18:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the page to Muhammad Zaidan.  It makes sense to use his full name rather than his nick name/nom de guerre.  Also reading through the article, it already makes use of the Zaidan name.  --Abnn 03:09, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: 666

message: *I noticed that the article U-umlaut redirects to this site. However, I'm not sure it should, since U-Umlaut is a phonological feature of North Germanic languages, especially Faroese and Icelandic. Similarly to the I-umlaut, the U-umlaut has its origin in a final -u that pulled the preceding stem vowel towards itself, while itself was being eliminated. Example:
Proto-Norse: *landu (countries), Old Norse: lǫnd, Faroese: lond/Icelandic: lönd
Proto-Norse: *barnu (children), Old Norse: bǫrn, Faroese: børn/Icelandic: börn
It's not found in Swedish (probably not in Norwegian either), but there are traces of it in Danish: child = barn, children = børn (compare with Swedish barn, barn).
So this probably should be changed. Mulder1982 (talk) 00:37, 7 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Turaco

message: Synonyms  Plantain eater Go-away bird  Musophagidae Musophagiformes
In South Africa they are called Lourie (See Newman's Birds of South Africa e.g.)
In Neognathae indicated that Musophagiformes - an order of birds. And in fact Musophagiformes is redirect to the article Turaco, and the latter shows that Turaco from the order of birds Cuculiformes.--Vaqo (talk) 06:36, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: "Many species are noisy, with the go-away-birds being especially noted for their piercing alarm calls, which alert other fauna to the presence of predators or hunters; their common name is onomatopoeia of this." Which common name? 'Turaco' sounds a bit like a sound a bird might make, but it's far from obvious that this is what's meant, especially as the alarm calls are connected in the sentence with the go-away birds; I struggle to believe that the loud call that warns other animals of predators also happens to make a sound like 'go-away' (perhaps the editor didn't mean onomatopoeia?); another possible meaning comes from the earlier statement that "in southern Africa both turacos and go-away-birds are commonly known as loeries" - is it this common name that is onomatopoeic of the call?
Oh also, it should be "...is onomatopoeic of this" or preferably "...is an onomatopoeia of this". I'm not going to make that edit though until I know which one of the common names the statement refers to, or if it even actually is an onomatopoeia.Adam Dent (talk) 11:15, 31 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  which? 

message: There are a large number of websites reporting that there are turacos in Switzerland, and that it is that country's national bird - no mention of which species. The purple-headed turaco, however, is the national bird of Eswatini -formerly known as Swaziland - and this seems to be where the confusion comes from.
Should this be added to the wiki? The mentioned misinformation is quite widespread. Quasirodent (talk) 22:45, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Charles-Augustin de Coulomb

message: The original text said "fluid resistance". I replaced this with "viscosity". Is this correct? -- Tim Starling 12:07 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
:: No. The fluid property called viscosity is an essential element in the explanation of skin friction which is one of two kinds fluid resistance. However, viscosity and fluid resistance aren’t synonymous. (The other kind of fluid resistance is form drag which arises because the pressure over the leading half of a moving object is generally higher than the pressure over the trailing half of the object. Form drag is related primarily to parameters other than the viscosity of the fluid through which the object is moving.) Dolphin (t) 22:48, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Kernite

message: the molweight 290.28 first mentioned on the page was indeed taken from http://webmineral.com/data/Kernite.shtml, the first ref. on the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kernite page. However, this molweight corresponds with the formula Na2B4O6(OH)3·3(H2O), in which (OH)3 is wrong, it should be (OH)2. Unfortunately, both (OH)2 and (OH)3 can be found on the webmineral kernite page, which seems strange... Using standard chemical tables I calculated that for Na2B4O6(OH)2·3(H2O) the molweight is 273.22. I noticed that in the past the text box was introduced on 11th June 2009, with a formula containing (OH)3 and a molweight of 290.28 (this molweight indeed corresponds with (OH)3). This was repaired by you on 19th July 2009, and the (OH)3 was changed into (OH)2; however, unfortunately the molweight was not changed then.
