message: My edit summary got truncated:  I reverted an addition of an event for Harriet Tubman's escape from slavery in 1849.  Tubman made two escapes, one on 9/19/49, and another soon after, but I cannot find a date for the second attempt.  The Sept-9 date is commonly cited as the "only" date.

Talk:Hybrid (biology)

message: This page is very excellent to understand the hybridization of biology. The citation based sentences are great, and very clear to understand with the clear grammars. This could be very useful for non science readers too. Pictures are relevant too. Only comment is, it could be more informative if there could be separate sections for animals and plants (or even multiple other small sections). Overall, this is a really nice page for understanding hybridization concept and examples.  Karkataceace (talk) 16:45, 12 December 2022 (UTC)

The rest of the diagram has other ships, including and especially an Indiana class battleship, which - to my eye - is far more noticeable than the relevant cross-section is. Thus, someone more knowledgeable in modern wiki coding might be able to call attention to the relevance than I can. Thanks.

Talk:North Haven, Connecticut

message: I'm about to turn off the rendering of what was obviously a bot-created skeleton that would have been intended, and likely was used, to pull together markup for an early draft of the accompanying article on the town.   If i were experienced in setting up automatic archiving of talk pages i would either do so -- or, more likely, be bored to tears by the process. Since it's still here, we've proven, in a decade and a half of editing and consulting one another, its relative harmlessness. Almost nothing disappears completely from the on-line edition, and my lazy approach to cleaning up after it, without disappearing it, is putting it out of sight by adding markup that any editor worthy of claiming to be one can switch back into visibility to their own eyes until their curiosity is satisfied.

Talk:Edwin Thompson Jaynes

message: This:
"He was one of the first to interpret probability theory as an extension of Aristotelian logic"
seems to be wrong. Probability theory as logic was an old idea even when Jaynes started writing on this subject in (I presume) the 50's. It's present in Boole (whom Jaynes criticizes) in the 19th century (and possibly in de Morgan, I would have to check), and it is explicitly the view of Keynes (who was the main inspiration for Richard Cox, who is one of the main inspirations for Jaynes). It's better the just state that this was how he approached probabilities. It wasn't a new idea (although Jaynes certainly makes it sound as though it was). 85.224.55.233 (talk) 18:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Kravica

message: I have removed some dead links. 
It seems to me that some of these links are bosnian propaganda 
since it can only be found on bosnian blogs. This is strange.
Now there is no evidence that the low number of civilian casualties is true.
More independent sources like "Intelligence and the war in Bosnia: 1992-1995, Cees Wiebes, (Studies in Intelligence History)" suggest, that the army of Naser Oric comitted 
a lot of war crimes in the villages around sarajevo. With a lot more civilian casualties than one is made to belive when reading this article.

Talk:Pakistani literature

message: Don't be discouraged that this page has been listed on the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion page - lots of great articles start out small and get listed there, but (most) wikipedians are smart and can tell an interesting subject (which this is) from nonsense (of which we have quite a bit too).  I've made the page look as best I could, but I know absolutely nothing about Pakistani literature (which is why you must make an interesting article about it, to educate me).  A good example of how this page might look is Irish literature. This article particularly needs to have the names of the most significant Pakistani writers, and their most important works.  A few sentences about common or special themes in Pakistani writing might be good too.  And don't forget poets and playwrights too.   I'm looking forward to reading it. -- Finlay McWalter 00:09, 15 Nov 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Regarding the vote for deletion

message: Here's some ideas (trying to recruit people to come here and help execute them)...
*Section on poetry: considering the rich poetic history of Pakistan (in many languages not just Urdu) a summary of significant Pakistani poets and poetic traditions would be good. The Poetry of Pakistan article (which could benefit from non Urdu-biased writers) could contain the more specific detail about Pakistani poetry (both before and after 1947).
*Section on Pakistani fiction and fiction writers
*Section on Pakistani non-fiction literature (including philosophy or religious)
*Check the with Pakistanis for accuracy of introductory paragraphs.

thread_title:  Semi-protected edit request on 20 February 2021 

message: The description of normal reaction N is completely wrong. N is NOT the the force that compresses the two surfaces together. N is a pair of electrostatic repulsion when the surfaces are brought in contact. The statement that N=mg is also partially incorrect since it is only true on a horizontal flat surface. On an incline plane 
N=mg cos(theta) where theta is the angle of incline. One should also explain that the statement N=mg does NOT mean that these the normal reaction is the same as gravity. The ambiguity must be explained; the magnitude of normal reaction is equal to the magnitude of gravity (on flat horizontal plane) but N and mg are two forces acting on two different points of action (mg acts at center of mass and N acts at a point of surface of contact), the direction of gravity is opposite of direction of N AND the nature of gravity and N are different (gravity & electrostatic force).
