Talk:Bothrops atrox

message: Hi.  I was glad to see the pronunciation of "mapepire balsain" at Bothrops atrox, especially since I would never have guessed it.  Would you mind adding which syllables are accented?  You could capitalize them or say something like "with the accent on the last syllable in both words" (if that happens to be right).  I'm lost at pronouncing the name without that.  —JerryFriedman 00:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Isn't it strange that although the names lancehead and/or fer-de-lance refer to the shape of the snake's head, there is no mention about this in the description? I have read articles mentioning the arrow-head or lance-blade shape of the snake's head and wonder if the feature is distinctive enough to be used for identification.

1. Ayatollah seyed Abolghassem Mostafavi Kashani was never foreign minister in Iran.
2. There is no link between this Ayatollah "Mostafavi Kashani" and the (current) Ayatollah "Emami Kashani". Even if they have the same part in their Family name. Important is the first part of the family name.
3. Ayatollah Mostafavi Kashani was parliament president in iran.

Talk:Spearchucker Jones

message: RE: "Spearchucker" in M*A*S*H reference that the character was dropped because there were no Black doctors in the Korean War:
My father-in-law, Captain Frank E. Woodson, was a physician in the Korean War and then an Emergency Room doctor in a Tokyo hospital for 3 years after the war.
Our family has photo slides of his service time that includes both of these venues.
The writers of M*A*S*H should have done better homework.
If any reader has information/stories about our father, please email them to karizon@msn.com.
Thank you,

:If you read closely the statement is that there were no black surgeons during the Korean War, thus the M*A*S*H writers were correct by your own admission. RasputinAXP 16:34, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it very likely that the MASH people dropped Spearchucker because they never were very interested in him in the first place; about all he does in the first season is take naps. The "no black surgeons" reason was likely just a pretext for dropping an already superfluous character, allowing them to focus more on Hawkeye, with Trapper as his only sidekick. I'm sure if they found out that there were no Australian anesthesiologists in the Korean War, that would have been the reason given for dropping Ugly John. --Kevin Myers | (complaint dept.) 17:37, 10 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: I am deeply disturbed by the fact that this article revolves around the character according to the M*A*S*H TV Series.  As far as I'm concerned, the character was created by H. Richard Hornberger and therefore this article should be based on the character which appeared in the creator's three books; M*A*S*H, M*A*S*H Goes to Maine and M*A*S*H Mania, instead of a character who was quickly dropped from the series which was eminently disliked by the original author.
If no-one complains in a month's time, then this article will be based on the original character.  Any information on the absence of African-American doctors in Korea can then be relegated to the M*A*S*H TV Series article.  I'm sure that the late Richard Hornberger wouldn't want someone else's character replacing the one which he created on the world's foremost free encyclopedia. Harlsbottom 14:58, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Iron Ring

message: While I am willing to hear arguments that the link to the Quebec bridge originated as a rumor (a "Just so" story, if you will :-)  ), I don't think the claims in the article are sufficiently documented.
Citation 3 ("Engineer-in-Residence/ Iron Ring ", Professional Engineers Ontario") does indeed title its discussion "myth", but doesn't contest "The story is that the early rings ... were made from the iron from the collapsed bridge." and positively asserts that "Today's iron rings are a reminder of the Québec Bridge that collapsed."  So that rather supports the view that the rings are at least symbolically associated with the bridge collapse.
Citation 2 "Compiled by Dr. J. Jeswiet, "Information Relevant to the Iron Ring Ceremony" does plainly assert not just that rings weren't made from the bridge, but that there's no symbolic connection to the bridge either.  However, this document is nothing more than a page on "some random guy's website", not usually acceptable to support WP articles, and the references for these claims are to two people, not verifiable published documents, so as they stand, these are basically unsupported claims.
Does anyone have any firmer references for the claims made in the WP article? Gwideman (talk) 01:07, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: I do not have sources to hand, nor do I understand how to properly cite them on Wikipedia. However, I do know that this book is criticized today on a couple of counts.

Since this page is tagged as LGBT-relevant, some discussion of that element of the plot and theme would be useful in improving the article.

Hi, 
I understand that you tend to Americanize absolutely everyone who was born and raised overseas and moved to America. Fair, however, if one held both citizenships, then they are of both nationalities, not ethnicity which indeed isn't added to the lead. The previous version was accepted and has been there for years. "Jewish" is not a nationality in this case. He was not a rabbi. You do not see anywhere the term "Jewish-American" in the lead in other articles. Moreover, as you can read in the article and other sources, he was struggling with his English for a majority of his early life. Additionally, he didn't move to America as a baby or was born there which would have made him of Polish-Jewish descent only. Moreover, the article is now sourced with published texts and books which support the Polish-American version. Best Regards. Oliszydlowski, 10:57, 1 February 2018 (UTC)
