thread_title: Can someone fix the dreadful English?

message: As far as I could tell from the website the National Forest Company is a private company and neither it nor the government owns the land in this forest. Is that correct? Rmhermen 16:54, Feb 9, 2004 (UTC)
The land in the forest is all privately owned but the land owners are encouraged and given grants to plant trees. It would be impossible for the government or a private company to own the land as there are many villages and towns accross the area aswell as farms. (this is also one of the big differences between US and UK National Parks where UK government agencies only act as planning authorities to protect parks, but do not own any of the land)--Cap 12:59, 27 Jan 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Ownership?

message: Can anybody throw any more light on the economics involved? Much of this was prime agricultural land, and particularly after Labour came to power in 1997 I can see the government having a hard time convincing farmers that it was concerned about their welfare. MarkMLl (talk) 20:43, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be useful indeed to have third party statistics on the area, but first we'd need to determine its exact boundaries. On https://www.globalforestwatch.org/map/country/GBR/1/51 for instance we see that «From 2001 to 2018, Leicestershire lost 258ha of tree cover, equivalent to a 2.3% decrease in tree cover since 2000». It's hard to find, on the map, any area where the forest canopy is meaningfully increasing, except some spots in Burton-on-Trent, Swadlincote, Ashby de la Zouch and Coalville. Presumably these are the areas saved from sheep grazing. Nemo 14:24, 16 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Knowing very little about the National Forest, what I would like to see here as visitor to this page is some explanation of how it came about, what planning went into it, when was the idea germinated, how long did it take to come about?  At the minute there's none of this.  I would do it myself but as I said I'm no expert and I have a million projects on the go.

Talk:Dividing a circle into areas

message: This article's title is kind of terrible. I'm pretty sure the phrase "dividing a circle into areas" is a very general phrase, and doesn't specifically refer to this problem. I think the title "Moser's circle problem" would be better. Nog642 (talk) 07:38, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rename article? 

message: Just found this (odd) page.
:f(n)=f(n-1)+\sum^{n-1}_{i=1}\left(2-n+ni-i^2\right)
:=f(n-1)-n^2+3n-2+\sum^{n-1}_{i=1}\left(ni-i^2\right)
Well, I guess this is like
:f(n) - f(n-1) = C(n) 
with c(n) cubic, so the answer is a quartic?
Anyone want to go in and sort this out?

replies: text: The Governor-General is completely different from colonial governors. First, as I said, the Governor-General represents the monarch in Right of Belize, not the British monarch. The Governor-General is appointed by the monarch on the advice on the Belizean Government, unlike previous governors. The Governor-General has many roles and functions that are completely different from the colonial governors, like appointing the Prime Minister and the Cabinet, delivering the Speech from the Throne, etc etc. These two positions are completely different and are not related to each other. Hence, it cannot be said that the colonial governors precede today's Governors-General of sovereign Belize.  Peter Ormond 💬 14:40, 30 January 2022 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[HeroEngine]] 

message: This article has two scopes in one. (1) The majority is about the ability to edit a virtual world within the world itself as a feature of MUDs (multi-user dungeons). I haven't found a single reliable source that describes this feature in any depth, i.e., to use as a reason to create and redirect to an entry of MUD terminology. The vast majority of the MUD-related refs in this article are primary sources, unreliable, or only tangentially related to the topic. (2) The second part of the scope—minor in terms of weight within the article—is contemporary user-generated content, e.g., for Second Life, and is shoehorned into this concept of "online creation".
I'm seeing nothing useful to do with the MUD part, due to lack of source material, and I don't see how this article would be repurposed around user-generated content when there is an existing section for that already. I'm planning to merge and redirect there. (not watching, please ) czar 05:42, 28 May 2021 (UTC)

Of course quite a lot cross the Eastern Mediterranean, which is a good bit further than the gibraltar strait, and some fairly small species go over to Iceland, and I think also from northern UK straight to Scandinavia.  But I'm not a great expert on migration routes, and everything I know suggests that they do minimise sea crossing if they can - I do know there's a flyway down from Scandinavia via Holland and Belgium then across to England, then down the west side of France, eastern Spain and on into Africa that way; and another all the way down Italy (where a lot get shot by Italians).   seglea 00:33, 10 Feb 2004 (UTC)
