thread_title:  Merge 

message: Also...what's the deal with the bottom section, claiming that the most common explanation (like, the one they teach you in Flight School) of "How Things Fly" is false, yet, not offering a single documented example of HOW it's false, or even what the alternative explanation of what the physics of flight really are. Jonathon Barton 03:01, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: This article has a lot of problems, including this one. That section really doesn't belong in this article. If you're seeking an explanation as to the content of that section, checkout lift (force), and specifically the Equal transit-time fallacy. As to the article, if I have some time this weekend, I'll try to fix it up some. User:!jimtalk  contribs 08:31, 9 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Aerodynamics section

message: The two paragraphs under Aerodynamics cover the equal-transit time theory.  This has no relevance to Aircraft flight mechanics and I believe it should be deleted.
The equal-transit time theory already has extensive coverage in at least three places:
*Equal transit-time
*Misunderstandings about the generation of lift
*List of works with the equal transit-time fallacy
Is there any objection to simply deleting the material from Aircraft flight mechanics?  Dolphin51 (talk) 09:13, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Fourth Council of the Lateran

message: I removed the line
Significantly, the Council clearly delineated the Seven Sacraments of the Catholic Church for the first time.
because I could not find such a delineation within the actual text of the canons of the Council (at least, not in the copy found at the Medieval Sourcebook website).  Please correct if I am in error.  Tpellman (talk) 15:43, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seven Sacraments 

message: In "Under Crescent and Cross",  Mark Cohen reports that there was a fourth law pertaining to the Jews which forbade "heavy and immoderate usury" (pg 39). I didn't edit the article because I myself have not studied the council enough to know where this would be, however, Cohen credits "The Church and the Jews" by  Grayzel page 307. edit: I realize that the list is not meant to be a full list of all canons, however I believe this particular one, if deemed to exist, is worthy of being here because of the contemporary view of Jews as moneylenders. Koolaidman (talk) 19:54, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Jewish Moneylending 

message: The sentence "It is enough to remind the reader how long an opposition preceded at Rome this recognition of Constantinople as second in rank among the patriarchal sees," is incomprehensible. Does it mean that they Rome did not want to recognize any other Patriarch at all? Does it mean that Rome wanted to recognize Antioch or some other Patriarch as second? Does it mean Rome felt that there was no ranking of Patriarchs possible, all were equal in their inferiority to Rome? This sentence is non-encyclopedic. The phrase "It is enough to remind the reader" is a clear violation of the Wikipedia style guidelines. Further it begs the question, "What are we being reminded of?" Are we readers supposed to already know that this issue was hotly debated for decades?
So I removed it. Can someone can reword it so it does not speak to the "reader" and so it is comprehensible? Nick Beeson (talk) 04:28, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Incomprehensible

message: I came here to find out what the word Lateran means, and it doesn't tell us.
The origin is the Lateranii, a Roman family, and they had a Saint, St. John Lateran in English, in the family.  There's a church named after him in Rome, and that's where they hold the meetings.
David Lloyd-Jones (talk) 09:53, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: The Laterani were a Roman gens who had a palace in Rome. Imperial horseguards were quartered next door. As they had supported Maxentius, Constantine demolished the barracks and built the Basilica of St. John on the site. (see Lateran Palace).Mannanan51 (talk) 17:30, 4 March 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Giovanni Gabrieli

message: hi, I am working on a project for my choir class, I was wondering if anyone could give me some information on Giovanni Gabrieli?? Thanks for your help!
Sincerly, Amy Sue
:I presume you must have seen the article, which is short and unfinished, but it's a start.  Basically, Giovanni was the most famous composer of the Venetian School right at the time of transition from Renaissance to Baroque style.  He wrote a lot of polychoral music (choirs of singers and instruments split up into different groups in different spatial locations).  Antandrus  (talk) 20:19, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

message: I agree not to make unflattering remarks regarding the undersigned on article talk pages or other wikipedia pages not designed for that purpose. 
I will do my best to assume good faith regarding the motivations and presence of the undersigned, and will do my best not to bias the opinions of others in their regards (with the possible exception of wikipedia pages designed for that purpose), nor to exclude them from discussion. 
Comments left on the personal talk page of the undersigned will be as amiable as possible, attempting to leave them able to comfortably agree with our position. 
If we feel the other is not living up to these agreements, we will refer them here and make a good faith effort to discuss first, before moving towards arbitration with our concerns in these regards.

:::Hi.  Sorry, have been super busy for a few days.  
:::Anyway, I have to say I'm not sure I feel comfortable with this "contract."  After all, really all it says is "I agree to follow the procedures and guidelines of Wikipedia."  Isn't that enough?  Exploding Boy 01:48, 25 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Don't worry about time, real life always has precedence. As far as the contract, it provides incentive for us to follow the rules of the wikipedia. Our problem, in my opinion, would certainly be solved if we both honored wikipedia policy and its underlying philosophy (esp stuff like assume good faith, wikiquette, and so forth). The reason why arbitration has been discussed is that we both have felt the other was not doing this at one time or another. I assume we can both agree that doing so would be in our own, as well as the communites best interest. The only downside to this contract (as I see it) is that it will rather clearly underline our failings if we proceed to edit in an unfriendly and unhelpful manner. I think thats a good thing, over all. Sam Spade 20:41, 25 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Kinase

message: I think that lipid vs. sugar vs. protein kinases should be distinguised, but that all kinases should be grouped on one page because they all derive from a common ancestor. So there should be a huge page discussing the evolution of kinases, with alignments of every kinase and structural access etc...as well as individual kinase pages with specific function etc...
any volunteers to set this up :)?
Merge?==
There seems to be a lot of information on Wikipedia about various types of Kinase, could some of this be merged together?

thread_title: Proposed merges

message: I suggest merging phosphotransferase into this article, since that term is completely synonymous with kinase. There doesn't appear to be that much content in the phosphotransferase article. Sakkura 04:20, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

text: Seems reasonable to me. --chodges 02:03, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

text: I completely support the merge. As a biochemist I know that kinase (by modern definition) = phosphotransferase. I have edited the navbox as well. I think that Jacob Silver and Numzana refer to the Phosphotransferase system which is a cascade of Phosphotransferase reactions that leads to transport (transport is not the same as tranfer!). To sum up we have:
*small molecule kinases: 2.7.1 to 2.7.4
*small molecule dikinases: 2.7.9
*protein kinases: 2.7.10 to 2.7.13  --kupirijo (talk) 10:47, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Why "Paranormal"?=

message: I was talking to some Tico guys today after a kayak trip, and I mentioned the spherical stones of Palmar Sur. I said they were known as Las Bolas by the locals. The guys could NOT believe I had said that because "bolas" are a slang word for testicles, and no one, they told me, would use it in casual conversation. Are we sure that Las Bolas is correct?

Talk:Being Myself (Juvenile album)

message: Questions:
*Who is the artist on this CD?  (I've never heard of it)  Please can the author of the page include this at the top of the page, and make sure the artist is linked by putting the name in square brackets, as in John Lennon.
*Why does it say -Bill Millionaire at the bottom of the page?  Authors of pages don't "sign" their works in encyclopediae, and that is what the page history is for anyway.  If it is the artists' name, can you make that clear?  If it means something else, can you explain it with a full sentence? Walkerma 18:52, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I have fixed this up so it is Being Myself.  There is also a remix album which this was the page for -- kind of, the tracklistings didn't even match up.  So, hopefully this at least has gotten rid of confusion. gren グレン 18:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
Talk:Sam Hill

message: Since Sam Hill can refer to a good amount of things I have reverted this page to a simple disambiguation page. I have redlinked Sam Hill (euphemism) since there seems to be enough information to earn its own article. I will probably start that page with the information which was once in this article but was removed without explanation. However, I do not think Sam Hill (the Development Director at NDO) is notable enough. I have, though, left him on this disambig page, as to not just remove him entirely since at least one person felt otherwise. If anyone disagrees with this, please make a separate page for him and await a possible vfd. --Ektar 18:55, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:List of storms named Ophelia

message: Typhoon Ophelia since three of the four were typhoons, not hurricanes? (The link to the 2005 hurricane should remain but be mentioned separately) CrazyC83 19:09, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. --Golbez 21:21, 16 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe.  I think it's important to disambiguate between tropical cyclones in different basins with the same name.  This could be done all in one disambiguation article (Hurricane Ophelia (disambiguation) or Typhoon Ophelia (disambiguation) or even the more generic Tropical Cyclone Ophelia (disambiguation)), with appropriate redirects.  Or it could be done in multiple articles (Hurricane Ophelia (disambiguation), Typhoon Ophelia (disambiguation), Cyclone Ophelia (disambiguation)) with links to each other.  I lean toward the former since the latter could get crazy (with ~6 basins and 3 different prefixes there could end up being a lot of articles), but it doesn't really matter much I suppose.  For now I've redirected Typhoon Ophelia.  Jdorje 16:48, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think this is probably a rare circumstance; there can't be too many names shared among both hurricanes and typhoons. I have no problem with splitting it up; people will easily claim a pro-western bias if we have the dab page at "hurricane". --Golbez 17:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's more common than you think.  Probably even quite common.  Looking at  and  I see that (for instance) Charlie (not Charley), Ivan (oddly very similar to the atlantic Ivan), and Jeanne are all used (there's no Francis).  Also it looks like Ophelia is used for 2 other cyclones in the southwest pacific .  And yes there's a Katrina  and a dozen Ritas (spread across both basins and including 2 monsters) .  So if we have separate articles for each then we need separate Cyclone Ophelia (disambiguation), Typhoon Ophelia (disambiguation, and (in 6 or 24 years) Hurricane Ophelia (disambiguation).  I didn't have a strong opinion before but now I do: this is too ugly.  These should all be contained in one article (named Tropical Cyclone Ophelia if you want to be neutral).  Jdorje 21:02, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: (disambiguation) is not needed for any of those. At all. There is only one hurricane Ophelia, and none of the typhoons or cyclones [presently] have articles. This really is a solution in search of a problem, as we don't have any historical cyclone or typhoon data yet, not on the seasons at least, and therefore links to the nonexistent seasons would not be terribly useful. Until recently, this was the case for Pacific, and before that, Atlantic hurricanes. All things in time. --Golbez 22:06, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Scabdates

message: I went ahead and massively expanded the descriptive section so that the actual content of the record is described. Some of the phrasing is no doubt a bit awkward so feel free to play around with it, but I think it's nice to describe the sound of the record and whatnot. Unfortunately, I don't know for sure which dates the "Cerpin Taxt" and "Concertina" performances are excerpted from, but "Cicatriz" is unmistakably from 5/12/04 because it's the only show I'm aware of where Cedric sticks in David Bowie lyrics. ;p Cassandra Leo 06:55, 16 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: For NPOV, it's best to describe the sound of the recording in relation to precedents, known and described in the popular press.  For example, where you describe David Bowie lyrics, we can specify Major Tom and Ashes to Ashes, the song the band is quoting.  IIRC, they sing: "My mother said to get things done, you'd better not mess with Major Tom."  --Viriditas 10:52, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
