Talk:As Maine goes, so goes the nation

message: Looking at the maps of Presidential elections since 1860, the impression I get is that Maine was a normally reliable Republican state, only going Democrat on rare occasions in unusual circumstances (e.g. 1912) and being one of the few to stay Republican in 1932. Was it really a bellweather state or was it the frequent Republican victories over seventy years that gave an artificial impression? Timrollpickering 19:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's really irrelevant whether, scientifically, it was a bellwether state, merely that it was at one time considered to be a bellwether state.  --Xinoph 03:16, 22 December 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  The alternative view, stated in secondary sources, is that even though it was a reliably Republican state, with the early election the *size* of the Republican win in Maine would be a useful bellwether. Since it was reliably Republican, a close-fought Republican win would still predict a relatively good national year for Democrats when the rest of the country held its elections two months later.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.28.41.34 (talk) 14:46, 2 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  This is explained at the beginning of the article itself: it wasn't considered a bellwether in the sense that it tended to vote for the winning presidential candidate, but rather that the September gubernatorial election tended to predict which party would win the upcoming presidential election a couple of months later. marbeh raglaim (talk) 22:36, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

message: New ultrasound technology - Acoustoelastography - EchoSoft from University of Wisconsin-Madison (Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation) and Echometrix - waves not just for vision, but give quantitative data about mechanical characteristics and properties, like stiffness, and functional status of musculoskeletal (tendon and ligament) tissue
Someone at http://www.sorehand.org/ (repetitive strain injury mailing list) posted a link about a new type of ultrasound technology.
http://www.news.wisc.edu/23139
Echometrix was just granted a patent on September 19.
http://wisconsintechnologycouncil.com/newsroom/?ID=2708
Should there be a Acoustoelastography section under Elastography?
I grabbed some search results from the top of Google scholar.
>(Research has shown that Google Scholar puts high weight especially oncitation counts[20]and words included in a document's title.[21]As a consequence the first search results are often highly cited articles.)
I'll dump some of what I found so far here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iCJE0d1cpUneSrtiEK3oi2H9nuYX812gL6g1rFdfP20/edit#
If you have the time, it's worth reading some of it.
I grabbed the most prominent articles, extracted abstracts, introductions, and concluding discussions, segmented by sentences, made headings, and created a table of contents.
The various articles frequently reference the same thing, so as you read, you sort of get the gist of what they're talking about.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bboyjkang2 (talk • contribs) 22:59, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Scattergories

message: The rules about the use of adjectives in this game are unclear. The wordage on this page is very strong in favor of *never* using adjectives as the 'chosen letter', but numerous arguments arise around the use of adjectives.
Assuming that the category is agreed to match, do you think the following should score points?
Dead bodies
Iceberg lettuce
Dairy products
Time machine
Illicit drugs
Cell Phone
Ice cream
Beastie boys
Complex numbers
South Africa
My opinion: I play this game religiously with friends and we allow some adjectives.  Here is what we do: if the noun fits the category and the adjective accuratly describes it, we accept it.
For example, if the category is candy and the letter is W, we would accept 'watermelon gum' because watermelon is the kind of gum.  One answer we would (and have) voted down is if the category is body parts and the letter is S, a bad answer would be 'sticky fingers' since sticky doesn't really relate to the category or noun.
-jivesukka
this page could use more references to the actual rules and less original research on wikipedians' house rules. fwiw I think "watermelon gum" should be allowed and "sticky fingers" should not, but that's not really relevant. Farannan (talk) 22:44, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

message: From epididymis article:
The epididymis possesses numerous, long atypical microvilli. These processes are often called stereocillia; this is incorrect, as they neither contain the microtubular structures of cilia nor function like cilia. 194.88.158.170 (talk) 15:03, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article states clearly the difference between cilia and stereocilia. The name is similar but the structure is different. They are not cilia (despite their name) but they are similar to microvilli. The problem is just the name; it contains "cilia" as a part of the name (stereocilia) because originally they were given that name. And there are a lot of sources referring to stereocilia in the epididymis. They are also called stereovilli.Miguelferig (talk) 13:19, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:GTP'

message: I've created this page to allow a little more expansion on GTP'.
Some notes, which I'd be happy to discuss:
# Page is called GTP' as there is no expansion defined in the 3GPP TS 32.295 v7 other than "GPRS protocol, used for CDR transport". So  I don't believe expanding it, as per normal Wikipedia convention, is correct.
# I've heavily borrowed from the structure, and some content, from the main GPRS_Tunnelling_Protocol page. 
# I've done some linking from the other pages that reference GTP' and some little corrections on that page. I learnt that TCP is (apparently) not deprecated for GTP' too, although it is for GTP. 
Bwooce (talk) 08:16, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

message: Hmm. Had an anonymous update that removed the reference to Gz and said that this was Diameter transported. This disagreed with my original reference to Ga/Gz being identical and GTP' based.
That's not what the docs I'm reading say. For example, TS 32.240 (R6) says:
"4.4.1.2 Gz
The Gz reference point is functionally equivalent to Ga, and hence is replaced by Ga within the common charging architecture. See also clause 4.2."
Does anyone else care to weigh in? I'll have a look at something from this decade and see if this changed.

Category talk:Macedonian basketball players

message: Macedonian basketball players is the original category which was moved to North Macedonian basketball players without discussion. The nationality has been a part of a heated RfC which generally concluded (see the detailed consensus) that the nationality shouldn't be changed from "Macedonian" to "North Macedonian". This is also supported by the vast majority of reliable sources. While this is still not an official naming convention, the old naming convention still applies and that's "Macedonian".

It is unlikely to get larger (unless South Africa also does), but the point of a list is not necessarily to grow, but to be accurate, complete, and succinct. Articles that also try to be lists often end up as awkward listicles, doing both jobs poorly. Biodiversity of South Africa is clearly related topic, but its subject matter is likely to be broader and more diffuse. It may or may not take an ecoregion approach to biodiversity.
