message: This subsection of the article claims:
"Thousands of European planters flocked to Fiji to establish plantations, but found the natives unwilling to adapt to their plans."
They were "unwilling to adapt"? Seriously? Shouldn't this say something like "unwilling to be slaves, but too numerous, too well established, and too well armed to be taken by force"?
Planters could easily themselves have "adapted", by advertising that they were hiring a large number of workers and waiting for the crowds of eager applicants. There is a reason they did not do that. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:21, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Myanmar

message: The lead section currently has four paragraphs, none of which are short. However, approximately one-third to one-half of the material in those four paragraphs is detailed explanations of relatively distant history.
I propose to modify the lead section in the following way:
1. Keep the current first paragraph as is.
2. Move the current fourth paragraph to be directly after the first one.
3. Transfer the current second paragraph, along with approximately the first half of the current third paragraph, into the History section.
4. ... which leaves the second half of the current third paragraph as the ending of the lead section.
It's not ideal, but I think it would be an improvement. In my opinion, the current amount of detail about old history doesn't belong in the lead section. TooManyFingers (talk) 15:26, 10 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: The history is certainly excessive and should be collapsed into one shorter paragraph, and the lead in general is a bit lengthy. Generally history is the second paragraph, and the last paragraph contains the details on the foreign relations. Perhaps the fourth paragraph can be split rather than being completely shifted.

message: Why does the article's introduction mention Japan as a place where taiga forests can be found? In the source the paragraph is referencing there is no mention of Japan or Hokkaido and the Global distribution of the Taiga and Boreal forest biome map also does not mark Japan at all
The paragraph in question for reference: 
The taiga or boreal forest has been called the world's largest land biome. In North America, it covers most of inland Canada, Alaska, and parts of the northern contiguous United States. In Eurasia, it covers most of Sweden, Finland, much of Russia from Karelia in the west to the Pacific Ocean (including much of Siberia), much of Norway and Estonia, some of the Scottish Highlands,[citation needed] some lowland/coastal areas of Iceland, and areas of northern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, and northern Japan (on the island of Hokkaidō). 107.1.2.125 (talk) 22:22, 10 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:How to Read a Book

message: This article seems to be subject to a lot of vandalism and no one seems to be maintaining it, can it be semi-protected or asigned to some kind of watch list? 
The text for "Part I" seems to have been missing for a LONG time due to vandalism and perhaps edit failures, so I am reinstating the section text from 7 July 2009.  This is somewhat arbitrary as I have not searched through the *entire* history to see if there are better versions... if someone has a tool to make that easier, a more thorough review might be worthwhile. 
... On further examination (i.e. snippets of the book online) ... there appear to be different versions of the book with different section titles.  The content of the WP article here seems to be an inconsistent mix of editions. This article needs major revision (or repair from vandalism or whatever messed it up so bad).

Talk:General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark

message: "Each wing was equipped with four underwing pylons. The inner two pylons on each wing rotated to align with the fuselage, while the outer two were fixed."
According to the cutaway drawing I have here, all four pylons were equipped to swivel, it even shows the mechanism in the wing that synchronizes them. Is this a figment of the artists imagination? Then shortly later in the same text the article says "the outer pylons could not be used with the wings _fully_ swept". This seems much more plausible then that they just gave up after making the inner pylons pivot with the wings.  Idumea47b (talk) 00:28, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: A cutaway drawing isn't necessarily a reliable source. All the sources I've ever read confirm that, of the F-111's 8 wing pylons (4 per side), only the inner 4 pylons (2 per side) could rotate, and that the outer 4 pylons (2 per side) were fixed.
