Talk:Octavia St. Laurent

message: So the first sentence says "Octavia St. Laurent (March 16, 1964 - May 17, 2009)", the box underneath her picure says "Born	June 16, 1964" and the link cited in the first sentence  says "OCTAVIA ST. LAURENT MAY 01, 1970 - MAY 17, 2009 ".  Which one is it?  IMDB corroborates the March 16, 1964 date so I'm inclined to agree with that one, but who's to say they didn't get it from here?  Hard to believe there would be so much confusion for someone born in the past century.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.132.195.12 (talk) 03:13, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Boeing 2707

message: Maybe it's worth mentioning - as a side note in the article, maybe? - that the 717 was never a Boeing original development. It was actually designed, developed and initially marketed by McDonnell Douglas as the MD-95, which in turn was a stretched, more powerful version of the MD-90. It was simply renamed to "717" when Boeing acquired McDonnell Douglas in 1997, and from then on, it was marketed as "Boeing 717". So I think this should be at least mentioned in the article. Cpt Vidal (talk) 19:42, 22 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: That's all covered in detail in the Boeing 717 article itsself, and that's probably sufficient. There's really no place to cover it here, other than maybe to put MD-95 in parenthesis beside 717 in the table. - BilCat (talk) 22:23, 22 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Just a two-penn'orth here, reckon you'd need an international survey of some kind (beyond the scope of this project at any rate, I suspect) to determine how most people pronounce the series numbers. By personal experience, I'd say all the British pilots I've spoken either spell it out ("seven-four-seven") or drop the last seven, as the article says, whilst it tends to be more common for Americans to say "seven forty seven".
Just my view, but at any rate, would it be tidier to remove the "more commonly" from the article? Unless we do indeed feel like commissioning Ipsos or someone to find out who says what.

The list of rules are in User:AlexNewArtBot/France, there is also the log on the User:AlexNewArtBot/FranceLog explaining the rules that sent an article to the search results (the log  is cleared every day, so try to look into the history of the log).

thread_title:  Red Hat Enterprise Linux Derivative 

message: Reading the comments it seems to me this article used to be anti-Oracle POV once. However, what I see now is the exact opposite of that - the article reads like an advertisement, so I've tagged it accordingly. The article mostly consists of positive or neutral informative (e.g. tech specs) statements, completely lacking any objective comments. I guess someone should mix in some of the mentioned "controversies" into the article too.--Arny (talk) 19:51, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That's not an "Advertisement" in my opinion -- the article is already "written in an objective and unbiased style, free of puffery". In fact, the whole article is technical specifications and version numbers. Raysonho (talk) 02:47, 14 December 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  From what I've seen here on Wikipedia people tag things as "advertisements" for whenever they please, something too positive? advertisement, something too negative? an advertisement for another company, an article only mentions another product that is vaguely related with something else on the market? it must immediately be removed even if it's more related to the subject than the vaguely related articles because it's been implemented for advertising purposes and people are "getting paid by Microsoft", if you feel like anything here is written as an advertisement feel free to WP:BOLD remove it, but WP:IOR seems to apply way too much and personally I've read this article twice and nothing here seems like it was written as an advertisement and it's quite well sourced for a Linux article. --Hoang the Hoangest (talk) 10:49, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not bold enough to delete the parts I have a problem with because there wouldn't be much left of the article if I did, but I added a tag to the top of the page.  A lot of statements only cite Oracle's marketing material, to give dense strings of jargon without context: "Oracle's own enhancements for OLTP, InfiniBand, SSD disk access, NUMA-optimizations, Reliable Datagram Sockets (RDS), async I/O, OCFS2, and networking"??  What do the enhancements do, why did they need to be created, why aren't they upstreamed?  Do any independent sources know or care?  I think WP:INDISCRIMINATE is relevant also.

Talk:Acid–base extraction

message: The page says "Conversely, the addition of a base to a mixture of an organic acid and base will result in the base remaining uncharged, while the acid is deprotonated to give the corresponding salt. Once again, the self-ionization of a strong base is suppressed by the added base."
I can understand that it is the usual acid and base reaction and the products are a salt and water but the above text is unclear and doesn't mention water at all. Also, "Once again, the self-ionization of a strong base is suppressed by the added base" seems to be wrong. Vmelkon (talk) 13:48, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does this mean? 

message: I think an illustrative diagram/scheme near the start of this article would help the readability of the article. 
I think this diagram/scheme can take the form of a series of steps where the amine "moves" from an organic phase into an aqueous phase, and then back to the organic phase as the pH of the solution is adjusted. 
Included in this diagram/scheme could be the terms "organic soluble impurity" and "aqueous soluble impurity". At each stage of the diagram/scheme it can be shown that these impurities are be removed, thus giving the amine free of impurities. I don't think this diagram/scheme should be too had to make, it only requires a little imagination ... and as always some time.
It would be nice to hear any reasoned opinions for or against this idea here. -- Quantockgoblin 00:28, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

message: Someone removed my original research tag and asked me to justify it. I put it there because there was a statement on what recent research tends to focus on that was justified (instead of by a secondary source) by a list of various studies that focused on that, which is original research by the policy (i.e. original synthesis). I’m going to re-add the tag now that I’ve explained it, because I think it’s justified. It also helps warn people reading that something is dubious. Mrfoogles (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: The statement is not "original research", nor is it "original synthesis", because it is sourced to this paper, as cited at the end of the enclosing paragraph for the entry. Consequently, the tag is inappropriate. However, I accept the statement is a synthesis based on a primary source, rather than a more appropriate secondary source, so I removed it.

message: This article contains a paragraph outlining a new theory of sap ascent which has been proposed by Henri Gouin, a French professor of fluid dynamics.  The paragraph begins:  "An alternative theory points out that liquids are at the walls submitted to intermolecular forces … ".  This paragraph is copied almost word for word from the abstract of Gouin's paper of 2011, which is cited at the end of the paragraph.  Unfortunately Gouin's English is imperfect and the paragraph does contain some jargon that isn't defined.  Hence some editor wrote:  "[clarification needed (opaque jargon which sounds made up)]".
