Talk:Martyrs' Square, Beirut

message: Can someone in Lebanon go to the plate on the memorial and take a photo of the plate showing the names of the martyrs? I would appreciate it if the names were written here and when this article is expanded because there is a lot of history behind the story which lead to the murder of the leaders.

Talk:Olav Kallenberg

message: The original article has mysteriously disappeared and I do not care to waste my time repeating it, as I see it as an abuse of Wiki´s "deletion policies". It was based on a very personal CV that came to my knowledge some years ago and reflected only facts. I have met Kallenberg decades ago when he was still in Sweden, which does not make him one of my friends or more worthy of a campaign than say Hannes Alfvén or other people or things I happen to know of. :( Kurtan 12:48, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: Regret not having spent time watching this article. Cannot understand the allusions to potentially libelous material, but I understand JINSOO himself has removed unwanted personal details, which I then abstain from sourcing. As for the deletion concern I cannot see why such an academic success story with books and some 70 peer reviewed articles published would not be notable enough for inclusion in wikipedia??

replies: text: Jinsoo is actually Olav's wife, but they mailed OTRS jointly. I am inferring that Olav used his wife's account to perform the modifications. The Notable Wikipedian template is possibly misused in this instance, but it's the best solution at this time. If you're going to watch this article, please try to make sure that others are aware that the subject of the article is very sensitive to it and would much prefer it be deleted entirely than corrected: Let's not give them a reason to request it again. :) ~Kylu (u|t)  06:22, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Olav Kallenberg is one of the world's leading (theoretical) probabilists, who was entrusted for years with editing the world's leading journals of probability.

Talk:Indian bread

message: Last night in Fort, Mumbai we ate a meal at a small restaurant with only local people. We had paneer masala and bogi chili and they came with a type of doughy bread that was round but stringy rather than solid. I asked the name but could not remember it other than that it contained the word "ali" plus a few other syllables and I was told that this bread originates from Kerala. Any idea what this bread is? I can upload a photo later if necessary. — Hippietrail (talk) 09:48, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Name of bread from Kerala 

message: Going by the definition of bread, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bread, 'Bread is a staple food prepared by baking a dough of flour and water.') Dosa does not qualify as bread. It is prepared from a batter, not dough, of rice and lentils.  Moreover, dosa is never baked, but roasted on an iron girdle with oil. It would qualify as a Crêpe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crepe  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinoo202 (talk • contribs) 17:28, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Animal Magnetism (Scorpions album)

message: The original version of Lady Starlight from Animal Magnetism (1980) features a lonely guitar in the opening of the guitar solo. I have heard of a version of the song that is very similar to the original but that features the same guitar on a sythesizer. The effect is completely different. To me it is very magical, a masterpiece on its own. It must be an edited/newer version of the same song. I was wondering on which album/year that version of the song first appeared.

Talk:Governance of England

message: "England ceased to exist as a sovereign state in its own right after 1284, when Wales was joined to England under the Statute of Rhuddlan to form the entity England and Wales." - this is quite a novel interpretation of what happened and not one ive encountered  before. I fail to see how Wales being conquered by the English and annexed as part of England brings an end to England existing as a sovereign state. From what ive read i was under the impression that "England and Wales" was a rather new creation which was preceeded by simply by "England" (which of course included the conquered Wales). Can anyone shed any light on this? Because as it is the quoted statement seems illegitimate to me and il be changing it unless its justified. siarach 13:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hi, should have been clearer.  When I said "that's a problem", I meant that there was a problem with the sentence.  "a series of unelected regional assemblies have been elected..."  The sentence asserts that the unelected assemblies have been elected.  Clearly this is self-contradictory.

Talk:Rauvolfia

message: Firstly there is no such thing as the 'Modern Western Medical system'. The level of grammar in the same sentence also leads to suspicion and doubt as to the scientific validity of the satement. Homoeopathy is not medicine, in any case it may be harmful. Doctors study hard and are examed intensely and so are trusted to communicate scientific research to the population. Seeing this kind of information circulate not only reminds one of the mass of ignorance that pervades this field, but of the uneducated and therefore harmful nature of this kind of information.
:Actually, there is a significant difference between homeopathy (where a substance is diluted to the point where no active agents are present) and herbal medicine (where one or more plants are ingested, usually as an extract).
:Digoxin, for example, is used in conventional medicine, and is extracted from digitalis aka foxglove. This is an excellent example of well-documented herbal medicine.
:Obviously, not all herbal medicine is well-documented, and not all of it works as advertised.
:But this article is about Rauwolfia, which contains several active agents, the most interesting of which is reserpine, which is an antipsychotic agent that works by depleting monoamine stores, which in turn has well-known, well-documented effects.
:Obviously, the exact quantity of reserpine for a given weight of the Rauwolfia plant will vary, which is why serious manufacturers will use standardized extracts instead, where the amount of the active ingredient will be sampled, and the batch is then diluted to a known strength. Of course, not all suppliers are concerned with consistent quality, and back in the days when herbal medicine was more of an art than a science, one would have no way to determine the quality, leading to variable efficacy.
:I agree that the phrasing 'Modern Western Medical system' is inappropriate, and I will change it to 'conventional western medicine' instead, which is a more accurate term to describe what the author probably intended.
:Hope this clarifies the matter. Zuiram 06:30, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

message: "Others: Dangers outweigh any benefits. Don't use."
Yes Dangers outweigh benefits that would be the case with any substances taken in the body.  But there are very well researched and traditional herb mixes that work in balance.  Carditone was not mention but it also is a herb using the plant Rauwolfia Serpentina and it also has been effective in treatment. Wouldn't it be better to take something from Nature instead of a Chemical generated pills.  If it's out in Nature God must have wanted it to do something. Better to Lower Blood pressure naturally   and other ailments if you can.

Talk:Jason Morrison (radio broadcaster)

message: I think this is very relevant: this man is a radio broadcaster/reporter for number 1 radio station in Sydney 2GB!
This should be stand alone. Why is it not?
*Clearly it should stand alone. There are a lot of broadcasters who have their own pages in wikipedia (see the category Australian radio personalities), perhaps this article simply needs more information. After all, broadcasters have their own careers which often move between stations, so such information can't really be tied to a specific station's wiki page. Also, information about a radio station should be distinct from biographical information about people who are working there at this time. - Therandom 9:13, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
