It is also why you won't find find them listed under their scientific name in ANY reputable encyclopedia.

message: It would be nice to see a section added to this entry as well as Crotalus horridus. Living in West Virginia, I was always taught that the "Eastern Diamondback" was one of the two venomous snakes in the state, but the mapping of both species adds confusion to this. It seems like both species are commonly referred to as "Timber" and "Eastern" so it would be nice if a more herpetologically minded editor could clarify the difference between the two species, preferably in both entries.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.80.35.172 (talk) 09:24, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Gatekeeper state

message: This is Michael, in Arizona,USA.
I just wanted to say, that the word Gatekeeper is such an important word.  I went thru Egyptian hieroglyphs by way of the Rosetta Stone, doing the Greek. But really thru the Stone of Canopus, doing all the hieroglyphs.  The "door" in Ancient Egypt, is really used as a 'gate', like in the Book of the Dead, etc. I just found your mikkerpikker/evolotution page, i am just saying hello.  I am considering finally making a page for myself. I have made a couple of nice pages, like Cylinder seal, and Block statue (Egyptian) for the category i made:  Egyptian artefact types, (from the Block statue page).  So, just saying hello, and remarking how important i think the word gate is.... incidentally  Babylon is from Babu- Ilu
(Akkadian, etc.),  Gate, gods... Gate of the Gods. I worked on the Amarna letters after the Egyptian stuff.
Someone from Yahoo Answers just asked me about this page, and I have to say, I have trouble answering. We really need a brief and clear explanation of what a “gatekeeper state” is. The article just doesn't do it. — NRen2k5 09:12, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

It seems likely anything called side effects should be merged into "Effects on the Body" -- either that or Effects on the Body should be gone, and the material in there, as well as whatever would go in a proper Side Effects section, should be put into two different sections: "TFMPP As a Recreational Drug" and "Adverse Effects". Actually, it's probably better just to put it all into one section, "Effects on the Body". I'm deleting the section though, as it's all about BZP, and the statement in there that "BZP causes depression, but only when combined with alcohol" casts a lot of suspicion on the validity of the other statements.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.5.70.65 (talk) 23:08, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

I believe we should do everything practicable to guide new editors in the right way, rather than letting them go wrong and then malleting them. Naming these policies with a brief word about what they are and why they matter would be a useful step in the right direction.

message: Wikipedia article sates  "He is the only person who has ever reached every rank the Army had to offer."
There is no record on Wikipedia that General Vessey ever held the rank of Sergeant Major, Command Sergeant Major, any Warrant Officer Rank or General of the Army. As such, the statement in the first paragraph of the article is incorrect.
The fact that he advanced through the enlisted ranks to First Sergeant and from a Battlefield Commission to Four Star General is quite a rare thing and needs no embellishment. Top that off with Chair of the JCS makes it even more special.

Talk:Walker tariff

message: *Politically there was little talk about tariffs in the run-up to the Civil War. The South's leading port by far was New Orleans. In 1858 it exported $100 million worth of cotton and other goods. But it only imported $10 million of goods that were subject to tariffs, and paid less than $3 million. [DeBow's Review (Oct 1859) pp 475, 478] The other major port, Charleston, paid less. Much of that money of course was spent in the South by the federal government--for example, a fourth of the army was stationed in Texas. The South imported very little machinery from Europe; it mostly imported cotton and woolen cloth. Politically the southerners had their way with tariffs; theystrongly supported the low Walker Tariff in 1847, as well as the additional reductions in the 1850s. Not until the after seven states seceeded and pulled out its Senators did the Republicans manage to pass their high Morrill Tariff -- which would have cost New Orleans another $2 million a year. No leading Confederate said tarifffs were a main reason for secession. Since 1990, however, some neo-Confederates have combined with laissez-faire economists to argue that tariffs somehow caused the war, not slavery.
It seems to me to be appropriate to have text about the effects of a tariff. Why do other ediotrs think this should be deleted? -Will Beback 22:01, 10 January 2006 (UTC)
