Talk:Sifrhippus

message: The last line in the introduction reads: "A 2012 study found Arenahippus to be synonymous with Sifrhippus" with a reference to Secord, R. et al. (2012). This study did not find anything taxonomically. It just groups the three Arenahippus-species as recognized by Froehlich (2002) in the genus Sifrhippus, and states in a note (16): "Numerous authors have shown the use of “Hyracotherium” to be invalid for North American equids. Thus, the species “Hyracotherium” sandrae (PETM) and “H.” grangeri (post-PETM) were assigned to the new genera Sifrhippus Froelich 2002 and Arenahippus Froelich 2002, respectively. We found, however, that characters used to separate Sifrhippus from Arenahippus are highly variable and not useful for generic identification. Thus, we refer both species to Sifrhippus pending formal revision." (underlining by me). That is no basis for a synonymy, or to lump two genera together. These authors are not taxonomists. They also did not formally publish a synonymy. They did research on the effect of climate change upon body size, a totally different field of work. Ten years later the 'formal revision' is still 'pending', and as long as this remains the case, Arenahippus and Sifrhippus should not be treated as synonyms.  Wikiklaas  16:28, 12 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Technically, it doesn't matter if the authors are strictly taxonomists or not, just that they argue for their case and that others accept it. But if, as you say, the synonymy has not been accepted by others, that's all that counts. FunkMonk (talk) 12:20, 13 April 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for your input. I'd say it does matter whether the synonymy is published in a paper dealing with taxonomy or not. And taxonomy was not the subject of the 2012 paper. If I will find the time today or in the next days, I'll deal with this matter. It's not just here but also om my home wiki, which is the Dutch Wikipedia.  Wikiklaas  13:25, 13 April 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Thumbelina (horse)

message: This horse looks pathetic. Look at her hind legs. Even her back is not looking healthy. I do not think it is a good idea to promote breeding causing pain, suffering or harm in Wikipedia. Thus this stub should be deleted, as well as any other artcle praizing a pony for being "the world's smallest horse". Regards Minoo (talk) 18:11, 29 November 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: breed causing pain, suffering or harm

message: The final sentence in the lede states that the flood "Thumbelina" was caught in "...caused her to freeze to death".  Since the link to the website dedicated to the horse is no longer functional (and I'm not interested in spending the time to research it), I would just suggest that this either be substantiated or changed.  I am aware of the casual usage of this phrase, but it is very unlikely that the horse actually froze in a flood.  I suspect that the cause of death would've been hypothermia (the body's core temperature being lowered to the point where the heart stops), which can occur at temperatures well above freezing.  So perhaps "...caused her death due to hypothermia" would be a sensible correction.Bricology (talk) 19:53, 20 December 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Midhirst

message: Is it worth noting Midhirst's claim to the title of "New Zealand's most consistently misspelt place name"? (This is the observation of an old mail-sorter.) Maps sometimes show it as Midhurst, and this spelling even occurs on business signs in the township (probably work of a slipshod New Plymouth signwriter). I pass over the occasional cruelly facetious reference to the place as "Mudhurst".—Koro Neil (talk) 14:29, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, we shouldn't say it's the most misspelt place name unless there's a reliable source, and even then it would be trivia.

replies: text: I didn't plan on spending any more time on this article, but here goes.  I do not own this book.  I am a big fan of Gaiman's body of work, and Sandman was my first introduction to it; however, this book seems like nothing more than a reference.  From what I've seen from google (I haven't checked google scholar), it is a collection of interviews with Gaiman about Sandman that enhances the reader's understanding of the series.  I do not know why it would warrant its own article, but I understand that it would be an invaluable resource in fleshing out the Sandman (Vertigo) article.  I have not read WP: Notability, I do not plan to contribute to the article other than protecting it from vandals and some minor copy-edit suggestions.

Talk:Convection zone

message: Convection zones comprise hot, light, upwelling fluid; and cold, dense, downwelling fluid.  Ergo, convection zones are characterized by two types of fluids, having (two) separate temperatures, at every altitude / depth.  Convection zones must be mathematically modeled accordingly.  The following figure sketches a star's temperature profile (T vs. r), qualitatively indicating a convection zone, with steep (supra-adiabatic) overall average temperature gradient, spanning the distance between an interior, and another exterior, region wherein the temperature profile is shallow (sub-adiabatic), and so stable against convection.  Upon reaching the convection zone, fluid rises along the "hot" adiabat to the top of the zone, whereat it cools, and then sinks along the "cold" adiabat to the bottom of the zone, whereat it (re-)heats, etc.  Convection zones form natural heat engines.  Their two-fluid character defines their properties; they must be mathematically modeled commensurately.  Temperature-dependent density contrast (δρ) determines the relative buoyancy force, counteracted by viscosity between the cells, which depends upon velocity contrast (δv) and characteristic cell size; mass continuity (δ(ρv)=0) helps solve the system for the unknown variables.
