message: I am assuming that the transcriptions are not mere transliterations, but are supposed to serve a purpose of pronunciation guide, as well? If that is the case, apart from some transcriptions missing entirely, the existing ones are erroneous considering the ħarakāt that were used, so I suggest the following amendments/inclusions:
: 1)  → Arab world (Arabic: الْعَالَمُ الْعَرَبِيّ al-ʿālamu 'l-ʿarabīyy)
: 2)  → Arab homeland (Arabic: الْوَطَنُ الْعَرَبِيُّ al-waṭanu 'l-ʿarabīyy)
: 3)  → Arab nation (Arabic: الْأُمَّةُ الْعَرَبِيَّةُ al-ʾummatu 'l-ʿarabīyyah
: 4)  → Arab regions (Arabic: أَقَالِيمُ الْعَرَب ʾaqālīmu 'l-ʿarab) (Maybe keep the Hamzatu 'l-Waṣli in this one, if it is a direct quote from Al-Maqdisi?)
: 5)  → Darija (Arabic: الْدَّارِجَة ad-dāriǧah, “everyday/colloquial [language]”)
: 6)  → ʿAmmiyya (Arabic: الْعَامِيَّة al-ʿāmmīyyah, “common [language]”)
Note that I have removed ħarakāt in pausal form, to conform with pronunciation rules, though the diacritics themselves can be added back if that is more in line with Wiki style guidelines for Arabic. I would not suggest adding them to the transcription itself, though, since these are only pronounced within a sentence, and even then only in a high register of Modern Standard Arabic.
I have also removed the Fatħä from the first letter of the first definite article اَلـ, since I am not positive the definite article in modern practice receives a vowel diacritic itself. I have only ever seen (in very posh, linguistic, or religious texts, as well as dictionaries) a Hamzatu 'l-Waṣli used above it. I would be open to using Waṣalāt consistently, too.
Any input is appreciated! –Konanen (talk) 14:02, 28 May 2024 (UTC)

message: The article states The name of the hundred, first recorded in 1196, is simply the Latin for "of the Danes", since the hundred lay within the Danelaw, the southern boundaries of both being formed by the River Lea.   
Since the River Lea lies to the east and north of Dacorum then this contradicts itself. I believe it meant the last Saxon land before the Danelaw. A sort of frontier zone. I will try to verify this.   Lumos3 19:50, 3 May 2004 (UTC)

Don't living things absorb other molecules, small or big? And don't living organisms also absorb other non-organic things?

message: Psychological pricing is one specific cognitive bias, described under the umbrella term "left digit bias"; left digit bias includes mileage, academic grades, etc., but pricing is the most extensively research area, notably in behavioral economics. There is no article on left digit bias. This article should be completely changed.
Left digit bias is a cognitive bias where the difference of a number compared to another closely valued number is irrationally perceived as more distant, due to a difference in the largest, or the leftmost, digit.

I have made this edit one more time. It is not in the cited source. 
On one hand, there is an issue with making edits based upon original research versus research from reliable sources. In addition, it is a slippery slope to make edits, even a relatively minor edit like this, without adding the source. Then the article loses its verifiability, credibility, and reliability.

Talk:Stanford White

message: The second paragraph contains the sentence  "By the time of the killing, Nesbit was a famous fashion model who was performing as an actress in the show."   This is misleading in the way it describes the timing of Nesbit's fashion model fame.  It makes it sound as if she were modeling at the time of the murder.  In fact, she was a famous fashion model well before the murder and before she had ever met Stanford White, and by the time of the murder, she was no longer modeling. 
As far as "was performing as an actress in the show", that is just inaccurate.  She had performed in Broadway shows earlier in her life, but she was not performing in and never had performed in "Mam'zelle Champagne", the show which was being performed at the time of White's murder.
