Talk:Anglo-Saxon law

message: I went through the article and added footnotes to any texts that could be traced to the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica article. Most of the article seems to have been copied straight from the EB article, but there are a couple of sections that appear to be entirely original research. I am not a fan of the language used in the EB article; it seems needlessly abstract. However, at least now readers and editors can identify where most of the information comes from.

This version was promoted in November (04), and here's the diff.  The changes to the paragraph beginning the primary food for these tortoises are plants from their native Mediterranean region are significant, and that whole paragraph could use some copyediting (the changes made it worse, though the original had a rather unencyclopedic feel to it as well).  A number if images have been added; I'm not sure if there are now too many or not.  Anyone else have any thoughts on it? Tuf-Kat 06:49, 20 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Pyramid

message: It is said the name is Ancient Greek "pyramis" but not that the word is a compound of "pyr" (as in "pyromaniac", meaning fire) and "amis" (same meaning as "amidst").
The word for it in Arabic is "haram" (هرم) and might be connected to the name of "Hermes" as the god's name/function comes from both "Herm", which explicitly means "Stack of stones" and the EGYPTIAN god Thoth. 
Thoth is seen as an architect god and is often credited with "building" the pyramids. 
I get that this is seen as original research but couldn't we at least say it's of unknown ultimate origin, and might be Pre-Greek ?— Preceding unsigned comment added by ConfusedEnoch (talk • contribs)

thread_title: From Coffee nap

message: The image of woman napping in Nappucino in Barcelona is not appropriate.  It invades the privacy of the person represented.  
When an establishment offers a place to nap, there is a reasonable expectation of some degree of privacy. 
A search for Napuccino on the internet brought up a second image taken from the exact same angle, also showing a woman in jeans with her legs in a comparable position. 
This suggests not only that the establishment is the source of the image, but is actively involved in online circulation of candid images taken in stealth.  
Surely there must be less invasive and more respectful images of people taking naps. 71.168.128.186 (talk) 05:24, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

 I don't know where you got the info about the pig farm in Kailua.  Or about the wall in Kailua.
Read "Honolulu Cop" by Gary Dias and you'll see he states the rock wall was on the Hamasaki's Pearl City property.  That's also where the leotard was found.

Talk:DAMA/NaI

message: Nice article!  The comment about DAMA's results being "100% model-independent," in contrast to other experiments, is not really accurate.  It is model-independent that DAMA sees an annual modulation, but connecting this to a detection of WIMPs is no less model-dependent than it is for other experiments.  The comparison of different experiments with different detection techniques or detector materials, is almost unavoidable model-dependent at some level. Reuben 02:02, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Without going into all the gory details, suffice it to say that the arguments on this subject presented by Bernabei et al. are not a neutral point of view. I believe it would be fine to say that comparisons between different detection technologies have some degree of model dependence. Reuben 05:50, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  New DAMA paper 

message: "All these other searches use sophisticated background elimination techniques instead of the annual modulation technique."   Surely all the searches are also looking for time varying dark matter flux in addition to background vetonig...
Well, all the other searches have insufficent statistics to use the annual modulation technique. E.g. the CDMSII experiment could only have detected a few WIMP recoil events during their measuring period. Now they did detect some events, but they concluded that they were due to neutrons. Note that the amplitude of the annual modulation is expected to be only about 7% of the total WIMP detection rate.
Unlike experiments such as CDMSII wich use crystals of a few hundred grams, DAMA/NAi uses ten crystals of 10 kg each and unlike the other experiments which have collected data for a few months, DAMA/NaI has collected data for 7 years. So their total exposure in kilogram days is enormously larger than any other experiment. This allows them to do statistical analyses using the annual modulation technique.

Talk:Anfal campaign

message: I looked into the source so we can put this issue to rest without the beating around the bush by an editor bludgeoning it for inclusion. As @Buidhe correctly observed, there isn't indication of Makiya having done research on which his claimed figure of destroyed villages is based in Cruelty and Silence and that there isn't evidence of being commonly accepted , especially given such a strong claim by Makiya on a very controversial subject (Anfal). Following various discussions and consensus, Buidhe advised for the original source to be provided , believing Makiya may have gotten it from HRW , but this is not the case. The problem is that Makiya is the original source of this claim, and without indication of having done research as previously noted by editors.
After checking the source, Makiya says the "1276" is his figure according to himself based with no further explanation, description of details or research, or reference. It's clear TheTimesAreAChanging knows this, explaining forgoing to point this out and the reluctance to engage constructively with other editors on the topic.

Talk:Madagascar

message: Dear Editor,
I noticed a slight inaccuracy in the current description of Madagascar. While the statement mentions it as the "44th largest country in the world," the actual ranking is 46th.
Here's the corrected sentence:
Madagascar, officially the Republic of Madagascar, is an island country comprising the island of Madagascar and numerous smaller peripheral islands. Lying off the southeastern coast of Africa, it is the world's fourth largest island, the second-largest island country, and the 46th largest country in the world. [14]
I believe this edit ensures the information aligns with current geographical data.
