replies: text: For more information, see  Chemical Graph Theory: Introduction and Fundamentals By Danail. Bonchev. --Itub 09:01, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

text: The book refers to the first applications of graph theory to chemistry, which happened in the 18th century (the same century that saw the origin of graph theory). No one would call that "computer chemistry", but it fits well within what is called mathematical chemistry today. Note that these early applications were not "chemical graphs" in the modern sense of representing the structure of a molecule, because the structural theory of molecules was not developed until the second half of the 19th century! --Itub 10:15, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Charles R. Jackson

message: He received a "Gold Star"?  That's a Soviet (now Russian) award ("Hero of the Soviet Union"). This seems unlikely, but if it is true, it should be elaborated upon.  It is much more likely that he was the recipeient of  Silver Star or Bronze Star (US decorations).
I think the author has confused two Charles Jacksons.  The man who was a prisoner of war was born in Petersburg, Virginia in 1898 and died in 1970.  His experiences are recounted in a book edited by Major Bruce H Norton, published by Random House in 2003.
The author of 'The Lost Weekend', about whom I am interested in learning more, was born in Summit, New Jersey, in 1903 and died in New York in 1968.
If any readers can supply a more detailed biography of the latter, that would be most welcome.
That is correct. There are two different Charles Jacksons. Error rectified. --Mantanmoreland 23:26, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Alec Peterson

message: To me (an American), "obliged" means that I am in debt to someone. "Obligated" means that I'm required to do something, but it is not a term commonly used as a verb -- "required" is more common. I wonder if it means something different to a speaker of British English?
Since the edit history has bounced back and forth a few times already between "obliged" and "obligated", I'm going to make a change to "required" and hope that if someone else changes, they will make the reasons for their change plain here on the talk page. It seems like a very silly thing to escalate into an edit war, so I'm calling for civility. Mamawrites 19:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Moel Siabod

message: What does Moel Siabod mean ? In particular, the Siabod part. Most of the guide books I've seen have it as Bare hill of the Abbot, but I have seen Shapely (bare) hill as well. Can anyone throw some more light on this ?
It means Barren Hill.
*I'll ask some people next time I'm there. If it helps to find a translation, I have a feeling that the i is sometimes spelt with a ^
::Moel implies both barrenness and hillness (Mynydd means hill, Moel means a hill with no trees on) so possible Siabod means abbot although the welsh speakers I've asked didn't know what it means. --Kick the cat 22:30, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

:"At the beginning of 1952 the General Sudoplatov on the commission of the minister of state security OF THE USSR Ignat'yev developed the utilization plan of kurd terrorists for the diversionary operations in the Near East.

Talk:Dam Brit

message: Knowing there are a lot of people out there who think a Brit milah is mutilation, and having my last creation torn apart, I want to be very careful about this page, and haven't posted it anywhere but here.  I will put out some invitations to come review.
Why should this article exist?  As a Jewish ritual, Brit-Dam is only performed when a Brit-Milah can't be performed – so one might think of it as only a Brit-Milah adjunct.  Particularly in cases where a convert has been circumcised before becoming Baal Tshuv, it still is it's own distinct and separate ceremony with its own set of Jewish Laws pertaining.  The focus should be on just Brit-Dam, not on Brit-Milah.
What are my motives?  Although I know about it, and I know the Milah l'shem Giur will get my son out of it (if my wife doesn't pass the Beit din), I have never been present at the ceremony, and do not know what actually takes place.  Though I believe it to be a euphemism, I have always heard it referred to by my parents and others as "The Pinprick." I was hoping that knowledgable Wikipedians could help fill in the gaps and get some weird images out of my head.
To these ends, I wrote as much I know, coupled with what I gleaned from the internet source mentioned, in the draft below.  It quite clearly is missing a "ceremony" section, and could also use a "laws" section.

:Another subtle difference between the characters of Brutus and Bluto is that while Bluto was often portrayed as a fellow sailor who also sought to win the heart of Olive Oyl, Brutus was portrayed as a generic villain, or bank robber, who showed no romantic interest in Olive.

replies: text: You're more than welcome to be bold! The criteria for an independent article are established in WP:NOTABILITY; as a rule of thumb, two reliable, independent sources discussing the topic in significant detail as a subject in its own right qualify. You can always create a draft and submit it at WP:AFC. (In general, no one should "get mad" if you create an unnecessary article; they would nominate it for WP:AFD and move one. C'est la vie.)Note for future reference that this is not typically how RfCs are used. WP:RFC outlines how they usually work. One of the necessary features is a question of some sort — they generally ask editors to choose from a specific set of options (e.g. "Should X article say A, B, or C") — which is usually about specific article content, or general Wikipedia policies and guidelines. Whether or not an article should exist is generally not the purview of an RfC (that's what AfDs are for), especially before the article has been made.
