message: *Darius, King of Persia, continued work on a Suez canal which had been started by Pharaoh Nechos c. 600 BC, Herodotos 2.158. It was perhaps uncompleted at his death (an inscription is ambiguous as to whether it was or was not completed). Ptolemy II Philadelphos completed or renovated it early in the C3 (DS 1.33.11), and Trajan refurbished it in AD 98. Gun Powder Ma (talk) 18:30, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  When was it built 

message: this page is referenced from a page on King Sesostiris/Senusret (1878 BC to 1839 BC) which says he built the canal of the pharos. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Senusret_III
There's an unaccountd 1200 year differenc between that page and here as to when the canal was built.
The earlier date seems agreed to by Richard Pankhurst in "The Ethiopians, A History" Blackwell Publishing. And he cites, Brested 1905 pp183-4 "A History of Egypt"
btw Also, this article mentions a difference in height. Which was higher, the nile or the red sea?

There's about 8 sentences that claim to be sourced to third party materials (not RMN, UMC, or an organization announcing it's working with them).

message: Last paragraph currently says:
:Chromosomes in the ZW region in birds are autosomal in mammals, and vice-versa.
Does vice versa mean:

Surely not.  After some cogitation, I thought maybe this:
:Chromosomes in the XY region in mammals are autosomal in birds.
If so, vice versa is inappropriate.  In any event , could someone make this clearer?  Thanks. —johndburger 15:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Asexual reproduction 

message: The second paragraph of the Significance section reads:
:"The platypus, a monotreme mammal, has a system of 5 pairs of XY chromosomes. They form a multiple chain due to homologous regions in male meiosis and finally segregates into XXXXX-sperm and YYYYY-sperm. The bird Z-like pair shows up on opposite ends of the chain. Areas homologous to the bird Z chromosome are scattered throughout X3 and X5."
This needs some sort of clarification and/or context, especially regarding the 3rd sentence. It's unclear what exactly "bird Z-like pair" means, and the way it's phrased makes it seem like it's been talked about before when it hasn't. The paragraph then goes on to say that the platypus doesn't actually have X chromosomes, further confusing the paragraph by indicating that none of it was actually notated in any sort of correct way. 2600:1702:3C80:3050:310D:7AD3:D74C:903A (talk) 03:40, 2 June 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Baldassare Forestiere

message: I have added a reference to an article on Mr. Forestiere in the Whole Earth Review (WER). I do not know if this is available online, and have limited time. I have not yet checked the date of the article, though it is in my library. It will be time-consuming to find, so I may not be able to do this personally. 
The WER article would be a source of excellent additional material. For example, the original post indicated that Mr. Forestiere build the underground gardens by himself. However, the WER article indicates that his brother assisted him. However, he was a perfectionist, and re-did his brother's work afterwards. 
There is much more material in that article.

Talk:Rift zone

message: I've been searching today for some good web references about Hawaiian rift zones, but I can't seem to find any that deal directly with the subject that are professional and sufficiently extensive. The stub was written from my personal knowledge which I've gained from books I own but that are currently several states away in an attic. I'd appreciate any help finding references that anyone can offer; I'm sure there must be at least a few, as the material covered thus far in this stub is well-established, uncontroversial, and highly important for understanding of the behavior of Hawaiian volcanoes. But, I'm not the most skillful googler in the world. Everything I've found so far simply assumes the reader already knows about rift zones, or expects readers to pick up a clear idea from context - not direct explanations. Thanks.

text: The unfortunate fact that Wikipedia contains many unencyclopedic articles does not mean we should add more (see also the essay WP:INN). You are free to nominate these other articles you named for deletion if you think they don't meet WP:MUSIC, and/or to resubmit the article on Errata in a form that asserts that band's notability under WP:MUSIC. Sandstein 09:56, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

text: Well, notable bands include U2, Nightwish, The Beatles or The Rolling Stones (see more good examples here). In any case, an article is speedy deletable under WP:CSD#A7 if it does not state that its subject is in some way notable, preferably under the rules of WP:MUSIC. Just saying "It is a band" is not enough. The article should feature either multiple non-trivial third-party coverage or explicitly mention that they have had some notable accomplishments like national tours, charted hits, etc. In a pinch, just saying "it is a very popular band in Australia" is also an assertion of notability that prevents speedy deletion, but this will not save the article from regular deletion through WP:AfD.

Talk:Servicemembers Legal Defense Network

message: DADT was not enacted into law. Much of it was, but the entire "Don't ask" part was not. That part was included in DOD directives. I will be making that clear in my updating of the DADT entry, which I'm working on. The whole enactment/initiation of the policy is not dealt with very well in the DADT entry, especially compared to the great length with which we cover the lifting of the policy. But even now the DADT entry says: 
:Congress included text in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1994 (passed in 1993) requiring the military to abide by regulations essentially identical to the 1982 absolute ban policy.[33] The Clinton Administration on December 21, 1993,[34] issued Defense Directive 1304.26, which directed that military applicants were not to be asked about their sexual orientation.
(There were actually a bunch of directives.) So it's clear that it took two actions to get DADT into place. It was partly enacted and partly established by military directives which could be withdrawn at any time because they were not legislated. That's one of the reasons hard-line critics of DADT who wanted to return to open inquiries about sexual orientation were mad at George W. Bush for not simply withdrawing the directives and going back to asking the sexual orientation question outright, which he could have done.

It is October of 2012, and I'm starting to find articles about the merger. When does it make sense to update or merge the articles for OutServe and SLDN? Does it make sense to make a new page for the combined organization? I'm probably making an article for Allyson Robinson in a minute. Awk (talk) 16:35, 25 October 2012 (UTC)
