That really shouldn't be done without attributing the source, but they're both under the same open license, so it's not a huge infraction.

Talk:Goliathus

message: You should read this article from UF Book of Insect Records, indicating a possible maximum weight of 45 g (1.59 oz) for Goliathus (G. regius seems to be the largest of the genus). According to Guinness, the Goliath Beetle is the heaviest insect with a maximum weight of 100 g (3.53 oz); however, as the UF article suggests, an individual weighing 35 grams (1.23 oz) has likely been mislabeled as 3.5 ounces.
Furthermore, as the article suggests, the staus of Goliathus as the largest (heaviest) insect is questionable. Based on the article, I'd say Megasoma actaeon has the best claim for the title (est. max. weight 47 g/1.66 oz, max. length 135 mm/5.31 in); though there seems to bee a chance that further research may reveal Titanus giganteus to be even heavier (I've seen weights of 37.5 g/1.32 oz and 45 g/1.59 oz for this species; maximum length 167 mm/6.57 in). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.221.220.31 (talk • contribs) 21:38, 19 April 2006

thread_title: Too heavy

message: I remember, when I was younger and keen on insects, reading a book that involved a small section on the goliath beetle. Besides basic measurements and identifications, it also went into brief detail about a defensive mechanism where the goliath beetle 'clamps' itself onto a creature's arm or leg, and is very difficult to remove, and almost impossible without help. I know I've probably still got this book around, so while once I find it I'll put the information here and possibly edit the article with the text as a citation.

message: If the larval stage is the heaviest known insect, shouldn't there be a picture?
:Well, since this statement is not supported by any definitive comparisons to other species of insects, it could be argued that an encyclopedia shouldn't be reinforcing anecdotal claims in such a fashion. I would say we need to see a published study with authoritative figures for the weights of a large variety of "giant" insects before Wikipedia should start treating any of these specific claims as noteworthy. Until then, this is exactly why articles like this say things like "among the world's largest" and "among the world's heaviest". We know who the contenders are, in general, but have no clear and objective way to rank the various claims. Dyanega (talk) 18:04, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Cleanup process/Cleanup sorting proposal/to do

message: There are several problems with the organization of the PNA root (index) page, some of which are related to overall PNA subpage structure.  
One problem is that it is somewhat hard to find the appropriate link for a topic.  As evidence of this, there have been several instances of (essentially) duplicate pages being introduced (quite possibly due to not seeing the existing section link):
*Anthropolgy existed under Social Science, but was also put with Archaeology under Natural Sci.
*Computer Science under Nat Sci, and Computing under Applied Sci.
*Psychology under Soc Sci and under Applied Sci.
*Another editor pointed out these multiple sections: "Military History", "Military history", "Military", and "War"
Another problem is that the links that existed at times had very context-sensitive names, such as "Other", yet the context was not always readily apparent.
Related to this is that the organization of major sections like Applied Sci was not immediately clear.  A glance might make you think they were alphabetic, but that was wrong - the "mid level" was alphabetic, but interspersed were lower-level topics (next to their superior topic), yet these lower topics were not distinguished from the mid-level.
Then there's the involved PNA subpage structure.  The main topic groups each a page displaying all the detail of the included topics.  These seem likely to be too large with the new bot approach.  Then there are mid-level topics (sometimes), which have a page grouping several topics - in the old way, these were usually sections on a single page, but with the bot, the lowest levels need to be on their own pages.
These tiers of PNA sections were not clear on the index page, and what's more the links lead to sections of the huge major-topic page, rather than to the specific named page.
I've made a revision to the Applied Sci part of the PNA index page to attempt to address these problems.  Here are some example entries:
:*Geography – ( Cities - Countries - Islands - Lists - Mountains - National parks - Regions, provinces, states - Rivers ) 
:*Health science – ( Anatomy - Medicine - Pathology - Pharmacology - Psychology - Misc. )
:*Transport – ( Aerospace - Automobiles - Rail - Rapid transit - Misc. )
One idea here is that the display is two-dimensional: alphabetic downwards for mid-level topics, and alphabetic on a line for the related subtopics.  I think this should help find subjects better and faster.
Another thing is that I've set the links to go to only the named subpage.  For the low-level, this is just what is asked for, and since it (and its siblings) can be big, this limits the surrounding noise and the display time.  The mid-level links can be set to go to a mid-level page that transcludes the related low-level pages.  (If there is no such, as hypothetically for Transport above, there wouldn't be a link, just a keyword.)
I think something along these lines is needed to make PNA more usable.

Talk:Diamond wire cutting

message: Started article: Diamond Wire Cutting (DWC)is the process of using wire of verious diameters and lengths, impregnated with diamond dust of verious sizes to cut through materials. Because of the hardness of diamonds, this cutting technique can cut through most any material that is "softer" than the diamond abrasive. DWC is also practical and less expensive than other cutting techniques, for example, thin diamond wire only costs around 20 cents per foot to manufacture compared to solid diamond blade cutters. Thus a 1000 foot spool of diamond wire costs around 200 dollars to manufacture. Selling cost may vary because of grade and demand.
The cost estimates come from a production engineer at a company that manufactures diamond wire. how do you verify this information without using his name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cuttech (talk • contribs) 2006-05-31

message: The Wire Saw page is now more comprehensive than the DWC page.  The problem with combining pages is that not all wire saws use diamond abrasive.  The best way to combine the pages may be to use the DWC information in a "background" section in the Wire Saw page.

Council Regulation No. 1 of 15 April 1958 determining the languages to be used by the European Economic Community, as amended after each enlargement:
Article 1
The official languages and the working languages of the institutions of the Union shall be Czech, Danish, German, Greek, English, Spanish, Estonian, Finnish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Lithuanian, Latvian, Maltese, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Slovak, Slovenian, and Swedish.
http://europa.eu/languages/en/chapter/33
"Although Regulation No 1/58 does not clarify the difference between official language and working languages, experts tend to define the official languages of the Community as those used in communications between the institutions and the outside world, and working languages of the Community as those used between institutions, within institutions and during internal meetings convened by the institutions (Labrie, 1993: 82)."
http://www.uemilano.it/multilinguismo/multilinguismo_unione_europea_en.htm
"An analysis of the internal rules and consolidated linguistic practices in all the organisations that make up the political framework of the Union revealed the following picture: there is a group of organisations in whose internal activities the working languages coincide with the eleven official languages, and a second group which has limited the number of its internal working languages."

message: I've been near the Utah County spur, where US-89 and I-15 come together.  They have redone the interchange here, the ramps are set up differently and some further construction is ongoing to reconfigure the diamond interchange.  However, no evidence of a freeway-to-freeway interchange being started has been seen.  The traffic light was moved close to a quarter mile west, the road now curves south and they took out a sod business on the south side of US-89 to do so.  A park-and-ride was also demolished, and the stoplight is to the north/west of and closer to the exit point off I-15.  If going from northbound US-89 to either direction on I-15 you have to double back and go straight to go south or go under the freeway to go north.
