message: This got buried in the edits, yet Google still carries it as the definition given by Wikipedia - anyone object to this being reworked into the disamib page?
"Originally, an "oddball" was any ball that had an offset center of gravity, thus preventing it from being thrown in a wobble-free arc. The term came to be applied to any person or thing that was strangely amusing.  "  --Firetrap  (talk • contribs)  16:35, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ting Hai effect

message: The article states that the Ting Hai effect led to a career trough for Cheng in the 90's but his work on TV throughout this period appears to disprove this.

Talk:Short-chain fatty acid

message: Hi, is anyone watching here? I think we should remove formic and acetic acid from the list at the top of the article. See this post I made at the reference desk , as well as this definition from IUPAC . The definition of fatty acid is obviously a bit loose, but I don't see how formic acid or acetic acid (or even propionic acid) can be said to fit the definition given at fatty acid. If I don't get any feedback within a few days I will make the deletion. SemanticMantis (talk) 21:57, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: The IUPAC page states that the term fatty acid is sometimes used to embrace all acyclic aliphatic carboxylic acids. As such, it's not entirely incorrect to refer to small aliphatic carboxylic acids as fatty acids. --IO Device (talk) 05:54, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:1980 Cleveland Browns season

message: Before anybody reverts this, let me explain why I went ahead and merged "Kardiac Kids" with "1980 Cleveland Browns season":
* There was a lot of information repeated on both sites.
* Everything in the Kardiac Kids article (except the "son of kardiac kids" portion, which I included) took place within the Browns' 1980 season, making the articles basically redundant. This is much more streamlined without sacrificing any information.
* I kept the reference to Red Right 88 as well as the RR88 article because it is a separate thing that is in NFL lore.
* The info held in the "Kardiac Kids" article is info that should have been included in the "1980 Browns" article in the first place. 
*The Kardiac Kids are synonymous with the 1980 Browns

Talk:Lloyd Banks/Archive 1

message: Theres constantly false information. Can someone find how many albums Rotten Apple sold  up to date? I refuse to believe his numbers literally froze since the 4th week.
Lloyd Banks, another popular G-Unit artist, sold 143,000 of Rotten Apple in his first week, a considerable decline from the 433,000 copies of his 2004 debut The Hunger for More. 
http://www.allhiphop.com/hiphopnews/?ID=6465
Also, this part or the article needs to be changed.
"Rotten Apple was released on October 10, 2006, the album sold 350,000 copies in its first week"
The album sold 143,000 in it's first week. This information is misleading.
