Talk:Frank Lawrence Owsley

message: I deleted references to neo-abolitionist historians in the section on Owsley's 1940 book. The Wikipedia article on "neo-abolitionists" makes the point it was a term for later civil rights activists of the 1950's and 1960's, as well as historians who wrote during the 1960's and in the later decades of the 20th c., especially those who seemed to be influenced by the sense of moral crusade about ensuring civil rights to African American citizens.--Parkwells 15:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My problem with that quote is that, if it is real, it is completely out of context. I also doubt the statement is accurate because it contains the phrase "African Americans", a phrase that would not have been used much (if at all) in 1933. It is overly paraphrased to the point that the context is lost. I'd like to fix it but I simply don't have time to track down the source, and I also have a conflict of interest that should prevent me from editing the article at all. nut-meg 01:47, 31 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: This article may need cleanup for clunky writing and tone. I do not feel it is appropriate for me to do this as I have a conflict of interest (WP:COI). I will try to fix some of the little things, but the page may ultimately need a rewrite. One problem is sentences like this: Owsley asserted that the real South was liberal, American, and Jeffersonian, not radical or reactionary. Thomas Jefferson was of course a slave owner. I fixed what was a huge run on sentence there. But what Owsley means by "Jeffersonian" is Jeffersonian democracy, not that everyone in the south modeled themselves after Jefferson personally. I believe that dichotomy was one of the things that interested the Owsleys. nut-meg 04:33, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know what Ramanujan's motivation for studying this particular function was? It looks rather arbitrary to me (but that probably just means that I'm not that familiar with this field of mathematics). Where does the exponent 24 come from, for example?
Also, are there any uses for this function? Sometimes when I look at some works in mathematics, I'm wondering whether there is any practical application for those works at all, or whether the mathematicians simply did it all for their own (and other people's) pleasure. —Kri (talk) 23:06, 9 March 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: I think that your article was very well written. It provided very clear facts with reliable sources and it clearly explained and answered all of the questions that was asked of us for this project.
There are a couple grammar things that I would fix:
1. "Firstly" changed to "first"
2. I would use a different word besides "face" for the females having a possible abortion or the male developing said symptoms. 
3. I would also list the symptoms as "including, but not limited to..."
As far as the setup of your article goes, I think that it flowed nicely and had clear subjects put together in certain paragraphs. I think that the most important thing you could do for this article is to fix the grammar mistakes.
I noticed in your article that you created links with certain words that could link to another article to explain their meaning. That is something that I didn't do in mine, but that I'm definitely going to change. Great job!Llahaye (talk) 01:40, 3 July 2019 (UTC)

message: There were problems with the recently added Ecology section. This "Brucella, including B. canis are obligate organisms, meaning they live intracellularly and do not ordinarily colonize outside of their host. While this is true, in very specific temperature and moisture levels Brucella can grow colonies in soil and surface water for extended time periods. These organisms exist in most regions around the world" was inaccurate in that the bacteria survive but do not grow. And the wording was a little too close to page 379 of Bergey's manual. There was also redundancy  "While this is true" and incorrect grammar "outside of". ("Outside" as used here is a preposition, so it is just "outside their hosts". The citation used was from 1989, which is rather old. I have added  this, which is accurate and is supported by a recent paper.
"Under natural conditions Brucella spp, including B. canis are obligate parasites and do not grow outside the host except in laboratory cultures.  At specific temperature and moisture levels Brucella can persist in soil and surface water up to 80 days and in frozen conditions they can survive for months.

message: appears to identify (,  and ) as Peggy Kornegger, and so probably is that person. Welcome to Wikipedia, Ms Kornegger! May I ask you to take a look at our guidelines on writing about yourself? In general, it is fairly strongly discouraged here, mostly because not all of us manage to write entirely neutrally about ourselves, as that page explains. If there are changes that should be made to the article it's usually better to request them here, on this talk page. If you start your request with "" (exactly like that, with the curly brackets) that will call attention to it and someone should be along to decide whether to make the change or not. Requests that are accompanied by an independent reliable source are much more likely to be successful.

Talk:Hemotherapy

message: Autohemotherapy is not the same thing as Ozone therapy. The intrinsic nature of each one shows they are irrefutably different, so there should not be any doubt about this theme. In fact, "Autohemotherapy is sometimes performed in conjunction with ozone therapy to treat joint pain due to rheumatoid arthritis or gout. Blood is removed from the patient, enriched with ozone (an unstable form of oxygen that some feel has healing effects) and then reinjected." (Natural Healing Guide). Ex positis, there comes so clear that, although conjunction of both therapies is possible, there is no confusion of one with other.
By the way, it is presented below some concise definitions for "autohemotherapy":
#Merriam-Webster: Main Entry: au•to•he•mo•ther•a•py [Variant(s): or chiefly British au•to•hae•mo•ther•a•py \-ˌhē-mō-ˈther-ə-pē\; Function: noun, Inflected Form(s): plural au•to•he•mo•ther•a•pies]: treatment of disease by modification (as by irradiation) of the patient's own blood or by its introduction (as by intramuscular injection) outside the bloodstream.
#Institute of Science: Autohemotherapy, referring here to the immediate intramuscular or subcutaneous reinjection of one's own blood, appears to comprise a compelling therapy option in the absence of others, one that may also merit replacing other (experimental and often risky) attempts at therapy currently in vogue. Since the introduction of this method by Ravaut in 1913, autohemotherapy has been employed in a wide range of disease conditions. Several hundred articles on the subject have been published in mainstream medical journals mostly from the early 1920s through the early 1940s, as listed in the various Index Medicus volumes (generally under the subject category "serum therapy"). Additionally, the subcutaneous or intramuscular reinjection of autologous blood or components is often discussed in the literature without specific reference to the term "autohemotherapy", as may be noted in a number of contemporary examples.
#Altmeds: "Autohemotherapy is a form of transfusion therapy that is far more common in Europe than in the United States. Its goal is to enhance the immune system's ability to fight disease."
#Dicionário Digital de Termos Médicos: 1.02915. Autohemoterapia, tratamento com injeções de sangue do próprio paciente por via intramuscular.
