Talk:Genetics and abortion

message: Copied from Talk:Sex-selective abortion and infanticide.
I have moved Selective abortion back to Sex-selective abortion and infanticide. "Selective abortion" is far too ambiguous, as there is also selective reduction, which is when the number of fetuses in a multiple pregnancy is deliberately reduced by abortion. The title of this article should give some indication of what is being selected. Also, there is no logical basis for lumping together Sex-selective abortion and Genetic-selective abortion into one article, as the term "prenatal discrimination" is neologistic and POV. I will thus be splitting off content related to genetic-selective abortion into Genetics and abortion in order to preserve thematic integrity. -Severa  (!!!) 04:02, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article move

message: I've always wondered...
Of the women who have an amnio or other procedure, some of them are told "your baby seems to have (some condition)".
Each woman (hopefully with her partner) makes a decision, to have an abortion / termination or not.
Some of the ones who have an abortion / termination - are wrong to do so because the test was a false positive.
My question is - 
Has any study been done on the number of abortions / terminations resulting from false positives?

Talk:Evelyn Scott (writer)

message: Hello - in researching Evelyn Scott's biographical sources, I came across a Wordpress site authored by her granddaughter called A Life in Letters (alifeinletters2017.wordpress.com).  The website is purportedly a collection of letters written by Scott that the author uses to chronicle her life.  It appears to be a unique and very valuable source for study of this author, and I have no reason to doubt its authenticity.  However, I am not able to find the name of the blog's author, and Wikipedia's filters caught that it was a Wordpress site.  Should I go ahead and include the website under the "Further Reading" section?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mi-parti (talk • contribs) 17:21, 29 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Large Scale Concept Ontology for Multimedia

message: My first article ... surprised to see a "speedy deletion" candidacy notice appear as soon as I created a redirect page ("LSCOM" is a known (try Googling it) initialism for "Large Scale Concept Ontology for Multimedia").  If I read the notice right, apparently the article doesn't assert the importance of the subject.  I'm not sure what the criteria for having successfully done that is; however, I would argue that this is a US-government funded project to create a standard vocabulary for video annotation and that there is evidence of research in Europe that makes use of this work is something of a testament to some level of importance.  The article--again, to be clear, I wrote it--seems to make these points clear.  Any advice from veterans is appreciated! Best, JDTejas

Talk:Lou Henry Hoover House

message: The "NPS" tag in the article suggests someone was proud that the article incorporated text from a National Park Service website.  However, based on how that tag is associated with plagiarism in other articles, this is a clear indication that the article is plagiarized.  I suppose if it is plagiarized, it is better to acknowledge that than not.  The article is now a mess, a mixture of plagiarized text and newly written text.  I am inclined to blank it out and start over, although that could lose some newly written text.  I marked it with "refimprove" tag for the moment, may return to blank it all out. doncram (talk) 20:34, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Map of World Mythology 

message: Due to the complex nature of Mythology its good to have them all listed under different regions for people like me that are trying to understand how to properly document each one appropriately.
However there is a bit of a problem with certain fantastical creatures such as the Yale which is only listed as part of Medieval European Mythology (does not specify which European Mythology sub category), and seems to affect a lot of Medieval Bestiary monsters though they have some kind of connection to Pliny the Elder; would make it connected to Roman Mythology? This is probably incorrect on my part as I'm just amateur researcher. 
If someone out there can fix this problem that would be helpful that has more knowledge on these medieval creatures. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Medieval_European_legendary_creatures
This is the page in question, and its categories for each creature is all over the place, and while some like the Basilisk is listed under Cantabrian Mythology which seems to be relatively new as I don't remember that being a thing last time I looked up the Basilisk or maybe I simply overlooked it somehow.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.124.162.10 (talk) 14:08, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

message: The collections are divided into eight disciplines: Entomology, Botany, Palaeontology, Ichthyology, Invertebrate Zoology, Herpetology, Mammalogy, and Ornithology.
As I understand conventions pertaining the capitalization, departments are capitalized (along with many other forms of titles and specific proper nouns), but disciplines should not be. 
Hence the sentence above should either read: 
The collections are divided into eight [discipline-based] departments: Entomology, Botany, Palaeontology, Ichthyology, Invertebrate Zoology, Herpetology, Mammalogy, and Ornithology.
Or it should read: 
The collections are divided into eight disciplines: entomology, botany, palaeontology, ichthyology, invertebrate zoology, herpetology, mammalogy, and ornithology.
For myself, I find these extra capitals pompous and unpleasant to wade through.

Talk:Mungaru Male

message: In the last few days there has been a dispute over the film's gross. In this edit IP 103.16.70.82 changes the value to 40-50 crore based on this reference, noting that the gross value of 75 crore comes from the director. In this edit from IP 106.76.31.63, the value is changed back to 75 crore, citing this reference. The explanation used is confusing: "We dont consider only director starement" 
Firstly, I don't know why this was not taken to the talk page by either user. It should have been. Secondly, primary sources (a film's director, an actor, a producer, a distributor--anyone directly involved) should not be used as a source for controversial data. If independent estimates can be found that support the 75 crore value, then we could present the total in the form of a range, between {{INR}40-75 crore. Care must be employed here, though, because there is a lot of shitty entertainment journalism out there. A source could simply fail to mention that the director is the source of the information, and how would we know. This is why it's important to use reputable sources. I think The Hindu fits the bill for now. Indiaglitz was added as a reference alongside The Hindu in this edit, but it's a poor choice as it is expressly indicated as an unsuitable source at WP:ICTF.

thread_title:  Justice 

message: Despite my 2016 diatribe above, a closer look at the DNA reference for the film's gross reveals that the 75 crore figure came from a film critic called Prahlad Rao, not someone related to the production, which was already problematic and likely should have warranted the removal of the high figure. I don't know what expertise a film critic would have in Indian film finances and I can't find Prahlad Rao on Google News other than in the DNA article. There are other hits for the name, but they're for politicians and military figures and stuff like that. There might be a strong argument for removing the 75 crore figure.

Talk:Taco del Mar

message: I represent Taco Del Mar, and I want to bring several points to someone's attention. It states in the article that "20 franchisees are currently preparing a class-action lawsuit against Taco Del Mar."  There are no credible sources to back this claim up.  The link provided(http://www.bluemaumau.org/comment/27957/Re_How_long_until_people_have_had_enough)   takes the reader to a blog page where one guest contributor claims "20 owners have been financially destryoed." However, this in no way implies that 20 class-action lawsuits are currently being prepared, or are even in existence. 
Please retract the statement that "20 franchisees are preparing lawsuits." I do not believe Blue Maumau to be a credible source.  It's a site where "columnists" can post opinions for the purpose of "amusement" as it so states in the title.
Posting opinions like these are slanderous to our brand, especially when there have been no published reports of such claims from non-partisan 3rd party websites.
In addition, the group called "The Truth About Taco Del Mar" claims that Taco Del Mar executives took secret kickbacks from various suppliers. 
(http://www.bluemaumau.org/seeking_opinions_and_experiences_taco_del_mar)
Again, there is no published material to support these claims.  All of the speculation is coming from "Blue Maumau" which authors "an online diary of thoughts," not published facts.
I am a strong believer in Wikipedia as a non-biased information source.  However,  it can only be as accurate as the editors who verify the credibility of the posted information. Blog "insights" are not credible sources of actual information.
