Talk:Diagnostic test

message: The first sentence is less than clear and taken literally is simply wrong. If people know what a diagnostic test is enough to understand that lead sentence then they will understand the more precise term for the article. We can make a redirect from medical test. I am tired of seeing diagnostic test as a red link every time I mention one in an article. Any objections? alteripse 04:28, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes there are objections, there are many other types of medical tests than diagnostic ones.  There are  screening tests, triage tests, tests to evaluate progress of a treatment, tests of cure, etc. For instance, in a screening test (i.e., low prevalence of condition) considerations of cost, acceptability of procedure and specificity are more important.  Whereas in a diagnostic setting, higher costs and more patient discomfort/risk may be acceptable, and sensitivity becomes more important. Merging the talk pages was quite confusing, have undone it.  Zodon (talk) 07:01, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: lets rename this diagnostic test

message: I moved substantial parts to Medical test, and left links to that article in the void, because the mentioned principles are generally the same for screening and monitoring tests as well.

Talk:Harvey Andrews

message: I always thought he came from Hull (Boothferry Bridge, etc), not Birmingham Bluewave 16:22, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Place of birth

message: Harvey Andrews says of himself, "I only sing songs what i have written", so it is debatable whether he is actually a "folk" singer rather than a 'singer-songwriter'
Having seen, and been thoroughly entertained by Harvey Andrews on many occasions I can categorically state that he is a genius, a singer song writer of exceptional talent -- and also a real died in the wool folk singer.  By definition, a person who writes and performs songs of their time is a folk singer.  Never forsaking his roots, a true man of the people, his ability to observe and then put into words and music in such a cogent and musical fashion is breathtaking.  I was first drawn in by the haunting Boothferry Bridge - but stayed to be elevated by such great songs and melodies as 'when I am old' - 'lovely lonely lady' - 'found and loved' - 'margerita' - 'hey sandy'  and never forgetting the very funny 'driving in the middle lane'  --- I could write a whole page of my favourites - but suffice to say that an evening in this gentleman's company was a time to be treasured - very witty, veru talented, but most of all very genuine!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.166.229.248 (talk) 22:07, 21 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: FOLK SINGER??

message: I believe 'Soldier' is based on a real incident which happened in Northern Ireland where a Sergeant of the Parachute Regiment used his body as a 'human shield' to protect civilians from a bomb. As his body was carried away members of the crowd sang songs and spat at it/him.

message: I believe that United Airlines also flies to Kona from Kahului.  This flight is a segment of its ORD-OGG-KOA-ORD flight.  Am I not right?  If I am, Kona should also be listed as a destination under United Airlines
:Technically, that's correct, though as Kona International Airport's article states, it's largely because of technical limitations that it has to triangle out to Kona (Kahului's runway is too short).  KeithH 02:23, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Fowl - Galloanserae 

message: The terms for the various clades in this group are not stable because the underlying concepts are adjusted as new fossils are found and new molecular studies are done. Further I don't think that the article is current, not that the sources are definitive. 
What's worse the taxobox format gives pride of place to one particular set of terms on which I don't think there is a consensus. This is one thing that concerns me about Wikidata too. DCDuring (talk) 14:10, 26 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Ukrainian Canadian internment

message: I understand the fervor of Ukrainian-Canadian community, admire and applaud their persistence to bring the issue to the attention on the highest levels of responsibility and recognition. As a non-Canadian I cannot help wondering why this wiki page is not expanded to the broader theme that the endowment fund was dedicated to, the recognition of Canada's First World War Internment. Yes, Austro-Hungarians, Germans and Poles are mentioned in passing on this wiki, and may have been the minority affected, but ... ? 
The wikisite on Auschwitz comes to mind, it isn't divided into wikisites on the internment of Jews, socialists, homosexuals, gypsies as far as I know.
I would just welcome a more inclusive wikisite Canada's First World War Internment. - ok, so  why am I not doing it? I've done my bit, dedicated quite some time to find refs and find and interlink various connected pages here, but I dont feel able or "called to" expand the site. I write this in the hope that others feel the same way, feel the need to broaden the subject beyond the ethnic lens. It's an important topic, and I think the Canadian experience serves as a model for survivors of more recent or even present day internments, that have not won an apology by their perpetrators yet, no reparations, no wider recognition, are struggling with taboo.--Wuerzele (talk) 20:19, 16 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:French colonial flags

message: I am highly interested by this flag, which relates to a city (Strasbourg) I am originally from. This flag and corresponding text appears to have been added on 16 August 2015.
Yet, it is the first time I am seeing this flag and I must admit I am quite surprised of its existence. With a quick search on Google through images, I have not seen any other webpage, including the corresponding French Wikipedia page, mentioning this flag.
Going further, I see on this flag the baselstab, which is the symbol of Basel city, in Switzerland. Should be inferred from this that the French Society of Strasbourg to Rhine Navigation was an entity existing from 1871-1919 when France had no access to the Rhine river, and used Switzerland as a neutral intermediary to have an harbor on the river?
Thank you so much for enlightening me (and potentially other readers), and do not hesitate to cite a corresponding source to the article as this element seems to me to be far from obvious.
Maybe @Oganesson007 ?

It's one of those self-evident obvious truths to anyone who's played and studied the game even for a few weeks.  Sure, it happens quite -rarely- in chess, but I've seen positions where a pawn move would expose the enemy's king to a bishop, rook, or queen into a checkmate.

Talk:Ash Wednesday

message: This wording of the intro is better I think:
:Ash Wednesday is a Christian day for peace and the first day of Lent, which is six weeks of repentance before Easter. Ash Wednesday is only observed in some churches.[1] It derives its name from the placing of repentance ashes on the foreheads of participants to either the words "Repent, and believe in the Gospel" or the dictum "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."[2]
The reason it is better is because it's about Ash Wednesday and not about Lent. There's a link to Lent if the reader wants more info on that.Dr. Zaius 1976 (talk) 13:46, 14 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Racial and political views of the Westboro Baptist Church

message: Having an "Anti-Islamic" section seems redundant and strange considering the
religious connotation of the organization; in other words, isn't the act
of declaring a specific religious affiliation quite the same as denouncing
other specific religions?  Islamic and Baptist are not compatible, if you
select to believe one as true you must then believe other religions
have got it wrong somehow.
Also this is not a "racial" or "political" stance, except insofar as much
as religions are inherently political. The existence of Islamic theocracies
does not make anti-Islam polemics necessarily political.
I don't see how "Anti-Obesity" qualifies as racial or political, either.
I'm not a big fan of obesity myself yet have never considered this notion
when at the ballot box.
