Talk:Financial contagion

message: Needs references ... I might get to work on that in the future. Trying to provide some general info first and de-stubify. Curious brain 05:43, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: References

message: Given that I'm fairly new to editing articles, I figured I would ask for some outside opinions. Alot of this article could be expanded by citing/summarizing a variety of views expressed during interviews of Commanding Heights. However, this documentary strikes me (IMHO) as relatively biased (the talk page didn't help me much, either). Thus, I am hesitant to incorporate any of its content (w/out appropriate counterarguments). I'm trying to make it a point to expand this article, but some degree of ambiguity exists regarding this subject. Any suggestions (positive/negative) are welcome.
Appreciated in advance. Curious brain 03:11, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Only took 1.5 years (give or take), but hey ... better late then never.
Anyway, here's a few thoughts on the edit:
:- Quite a few pages link to this one, which made me want to improve it
:- It is a bit wordy, but I'm tired at this point.
:- It was difficult to distill an entire paper down into a concise statement; did what I could.
:- There is a lot of information in the references that I didn't use
:- Few references I didn't use:
::PDF - 
::PDF - 
:- Plus, there is a few dozen papers at the World Bank site which I (admittedly) did not read (anything under the "Papers on Contagion by Topic" heading):

Talk:Continental C85

message: Someone redirected the C85 page to the O-190 page for some reason. 99% of the people in the aviation world know this engine as the C85, not the military designation O-190. 
Please, if you want to make a separate page for the military versions of this engine then pls do so but redirecting everything to another page is not the correct way to do this.
:Since we have two identical pages on the same engine I have redirected it to O-190. It doesn't make any difference what the page name is as the redirect will get them to the right place when any reader types in "Continental C-85". - Ahunt (talk) 21:10, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Prehensile tail

message: In the section titled "Ecology of the prehensile tail", I deleted the following sentence. 
:In contrast, in less dense forest such as in Southeast Asia it is observed that gliding animals tend to be more common instead, whereas there are few gliding vertebrates in South America.
Afaik birds which glide plenty and are quite plentifull in South America, are vertebrates, making this statement completely wrong. I suspect the statement should say 'mammals' instead of both 'animals' as well as 'vertebrates'. Anyway, I am deleting this sentence for the present. Anyone who knows better is welcome to correct and replace it. --Stagyar 06:16, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

message: My house cat once was in my arms on her back.  While there, she wrapped her tail around my arm.  I doubt she had any strength in her tail.  So she wouldn't have been able to truly grip my arm.  But I think, for her, it helped remind her I was still there. Will (Talk - contribs) 05:52, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Truthfully put, tail prehensility is more of a continuum than discrete categorical measure.  Most animals with substantial muscular tails will use them for balance or wrap them around objects for stability, so to avoid making the category so broad as to be meaningless, we typically restrict it to species who can generate substantial gripping force with their tails, such as spider monkeys and chameleons. HCA (talk) 13:23, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that it's a continuum and the division made in the article, animals with "fully" or "partially" prehensile tails is not helpful. Note that some animals appear in both categories. 173.174.85.204 (talk) 14:41, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  

message: It would make this article appear stealthily promotional to fill in the history section somewhat, yet fail to mention whatsoever that Ice Alaska's relationship with the Alaska Railroad (not "the state railroad"; the valid link should demonstrate their notability and offer a clue, unless someone is just so obsessed with ice carving that they believe that anything not related to ice carving is far game for belittling) was somewhat controversial, and that problems between the two entities carried on for several years, remaining largely unresolved in the end.
George Horner's death several years ago probably has a whole lot to do with their new location and ice pond, as it was an active gravel pit which was in the beginning stages of redevelopment before Ice Alaska came along, which occurred due to their problems with the railroad.  The original plan (or, at least what I was told was the original plan back in 2005 or 2006) was to put houses along the bend of the Chena River across from the Chena River State Recreation Site.  However, there's enough vacant land fronting the Chena to where they probably got themselves a much better deal in selling to Ice Alaska.
Also, the old Ice Park was in Fairbanks, but their current location is not (it's actually in College).  Hopefully, we'll at least be able to keep that detail straight.  I'm keeping my fingers crossed.  Not. RadioKAOS  –  Talk to me, Billy  02:44, 15 March 2013 (UTC)

message: While information on Robeson's mother is limited, the article tells significant parts of his background by telling about her and the family - they were educated, rising class. This is an important aspect of African-American life in the 19th century that many people don't know about.
