Talk:United Free Church of Scotland

message: This article has a 'schizophrenic' attitude to whether the U F Church currently exisits or not. As there is a U F Church in existence today then it seems clear that the article should reflect this fact consistently.  If contributors feel that it is important make a very strong distinction between the pre-1929 Church and the continuting Church then we could go for a separate article such as United Free Church of Scotland (1900 - 1929), but my feeling is that this would be a step too far. Greenshed 00:40, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Problem is that it is contraversial. In 1929, the bulk of the denomination joined the CofS, and according to the joiners, the denomination merged and ceased. Some however stayed out of the union, and according to them are the original denomination, which the others 'left'. The designation 'UFC (continuing)' is often used to indicate this ambiguity. --Doc ask? 09:44, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I haven't looked to see what the article was like in April 2006, but I think it's quite clear today. At the beginning of the 20th century the UFC was a huge denomination.  In 1929 a somewhat shrunk UFC merged with a somewhat shrunk CofS, leaving a small separate UFC behind.  Both have shrunk dramatically since, with a potential for near disappearance in upcoming decades if trends continue. --PeterR2 (talk) 19:35, 23 March 2020 (UTC)

Moving what was salvagable from here then only fixing one article seems much easier to me. They are the same place - there shouldn't be two articles. Verbal chat 23:49, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with the merge but merely mashing two different organizations together causes inaccuracies (e.g.; curriculum). With the merge, differences between the two campuses will need to be clarified. They are not the same place, and the Arizona campus is much more than a satellite. Given enough contribution, each school (medicine, dentistry, etc.) of each campus (Missouri, Arizona) will need a separate section. And if someone (hint, not me) were so inclined, they could easily fill an article with KCOM history alone. Stevecalloway (talk) 11:37, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Gibson ES-330

message: Gibson ES 330 and Epiphone Casino are quite different in construction. Original Casinos are five ply laminate in the body construction (maple/birch/maple/birch/maple) whereas the ES 330 is a three ply construction with maple og front and back - and maple or poplar as the blind layer. That makes the Casino less prone to feed back conpared to the ES 330. So - it cannot be said that these two guitars - both build in Gibsons long time closed down Kalamazoo factory.

Talk:Lost Horizon (1973 film)

message: the music was horrible, but the screenplay, acting and sets were all first-class.  it's actually a line call which version is better -- shangri-la set and some of the storyline was better in this one; baskul escape and snow scenes were better in the 1937 original, if only for the "magic" of black & white (ideal version would have been oz-style...black and white suddenly changing to colour when they arrived in shangri-la).
the only thing "wrong" with it, really, was those SONGS!  i can't BELIEVE bacharach was responsible for that dreck!!
if they'd left those out, it would have been a very very worthy remake.  in fact, i am tempted to edit myself a copy along those lines.

Talk:University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Medicine

message: The original article had some nice information, but I noticed several issues:
1) The article contained casual language, reflecting personal opinion and original research. (e.g. "Many students say...," "One of the most distinctive aspects...," etc. The former is an example of original (and uncited) research, while the latter is personal opinion).
2) There were several grammatical errors, misspelled words, and sentences that simply did not make sense. I've tried to clean these up a bit, though its still not perfect. 
3) The structure lacked a logical progression. It frequently moved between description of the general curriculum and description of more particular aspects of the medical school program.  
Hopefully these changes will help. There is still a conspicuous lack of sources cited to support the information in the article, but I'll let someone else deal with that. 
BTW, I was a TA at UMKC-SOM while I was a Biology/Chemistry student at UMKC. So those are my credentials.

Talk:Stavern

message: As the originator of both articles, I’d suggest there is merit to retaining both because: 
#Combination of articles frequently submerges important minor topics in a welter of confusing, and for the average reader useless, data. One example of this can be found by looking for seter; you’ll discover it merged into the article on transhumance. I challenge the casual reader who is trying to figure out what a traditional Scandinavian seter is to know what the heck this article is about (& I spent some effort cleaning it up). 
#The Wikipedia is often mirrored on other sites (& Wikipedia encourages mirrors). When we delete an entry it does not get mirrored. Hence folks looking up words like seter, which will get you to transhumance on the Wikipedia by redirection, are less likely to be found when you Google it. 
#There is merit having a number of shorter articles on specific persons, places, things & ideas— all written in a short & easily accessible style.  Both these articles fall mostly in this category. 
#But there is also merit to having thoughtful, scholarly articles that address the more subtle & obscure issues which may interest a more academically inclined reader. This would be an article that links the two into a well developed history of the area.  
#The dichotomy resulting from an encyclopedia’s objective to serve both audiences who are quickly looking a word or topic up as well as those want a scholarly discussion is not new.  Encyclopædia Britannica attempted to address this issue by introducing the Micropedia (short accessible articles) in the first eight volumes and Macropedia (longer scholarly articles referenced from the short accessible articles) in the next 17 volumes.  Although the timing was poor since internet sources (including the Wikipedia) have virtually destroyed hard-copy encyclopedia sales, the concept was recognition of a longstanding need; the concept still has value.

Talk:Roridula

message: The "High-importance" rating is based on at least one journal article that uses Roridula as an example for the evolutionary aspects of the carnivorous syndrome by way of what they called "digestive mutualism."

thread_title:  Comments on assessment 

message: Many Carnivorous Plant Growers consider Cobra Plant as a true Carnivorous Plant even though it does not produce it's own digestive enzymes, and relies on a type of flying midge to do it for them. Therefore, if Darlingtonia is considered a true carnivorous plant, then Roridula should fall upon the ranks because it cannot produce it's own enzymes, but attract and kill prey successfully as Darlingtonia does.
:This would have to be referenced and toned down a bit to avoid POV problems. It just needs to be reworded a bit to make it read less like advice and more like a statement of authority (i.e. John Doe, author of yadda yadda book on carnivorous plants, asserts that...). --Rkitko 08:26, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
