message: The most famous underwater city in the world? Alexandria.
The most famous thing about Alexandria? It's underwater.
Both of these are missing from this article -- which seems to me very peculiar.
This article seems to deal with a modern-day town of no particular importance, located somewhere in the neighborhood of the historically important city which is now underwater -- but I may be wrong. I came here looking for facts about what I thought I had heard. Fail.
Long lost Alexandria has just as many legends and mysteries spun around it as Atlantis, but this one is real. And it has been found. And there are two sunken cities for the price of one. Alexandria’s remains lie literally a few feet off the coast, while Thonis-Heracleion rests a little farther off the coast of today’s Alexandria. Both spectacularly well-preserved, considering the ruins are more than 2,000 years old and littered with various shipwrecks, dropped anchors, even lost—and found—gold treasures. Temples and buildings of Thonis-Heracleion were once separated by canals, not unlike Venice, but how and why exactly the city became submerged is still a mystery.
While Thonis-Heracleion is still only accessible for scuba divers, Alexandria’s ruins will hopefully soon be on view via the proposed Underwater Archeological Museum of Alexandria.''

Talk:Pravargya

message: These article has been copy pasted in its entirety from .--Tchoutoye (talk) 20:53, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Although this article (and many other on Vedic rites) is in strong need of attention, I oppose merging Pravargya with the Soma sacrifice article. Although there is a correlation between the two, they are two completely different rites, with different developmental histories, and different purposes. The Pravargya, primarily, grew out of an independent and much smaller morning milk offering the the Asvins; is significant in showing the importance of the sun, Sv--often discounted--in early Vedic religion; and primary purpose was attaining the lustre of the sun, which has strong correlations to the notion of tapas, and asceticism. The Soma sacrifice is a whole different animal, and the correlation between the two rites was a later development. If both articles are actually worked on with real sources (I can point people towards Vesci, and Houben, two scholars that have written extensively on both of these subjects) they would contain enough information to easily justify their own articles.24.190.34.219 (talk) 06:54, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

message: Perhaps this article should be titled 'traditional Malagasy beliefs' and not 'mythology,' since mythology tends to imply that the concepts are fictional, false, or no longer believed.
Also, the indry only lives in one small part of Madagascar so the claim that it is revered everywhere in Madagascar cannot be accurate.  Lemurs in general are often revered, as are certain other animals, on the basis of local fady, but we need to locate some kind of a reference to support this assertion. 67.168.101.62 (talk) 16:45, 9 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Myrica cerifera

message: The name "Myrica cerifera" needs to be changed. Either it should be changed to the more current "Morella cerifera" or altered to it's most common name "Southern Wax Myrtle". While both names redirect here, it is improper to use the outdated scientific name as the whole article title. 
A case for the name "Morella":
This is the current scientific name and has been for quite a while. "Morella" is widely accepted by sources such as the USDA, Smithsonian, and NCBI. While some current research still refers to the old name "Myrica", taxonomic basis for the name change back to Morella has existed since the early 1990s, and the genus Morella (of the family Myricaceae) has existed for even longer. See: Wilbur 2002, Wilbur 1994.
A case for the name "Southern Wax Myrtle":
As a biologist, I prefer "Morella cerifera" but "Southern Wax Myrtle" is the most common name used in the majority of it's range. While some common names can be improper, confusing, offensive or non-descript, the term "Wax Myrtle" does not have such issues. Taxonomic categories are much more subject to change than common names. Wikipedia's Article Titles page clearly states that use of common names is preferred. See: Guinea pig (not: Cavia porcellus). Additionally, other well known encyclopedias such as Encyclopedia Britannica use "Wax Myrtle" to appeal to a broader audience. 
Regardless of what is chosen, clearly "Myrica" is an outdated use and Wikipedia should maintain a more widely accepted name as it's article title.Spacefatty (talk) 16:04, 26 October 2023 (UTC)
