Talk:Allotment

message: *I have added the definition of allotment as used to describe the Greek system of selecting candidates for office.
:I've come across this term in several books and papers on Greek Democracy (e.g. The Athenian Democracy in the Age of Demosthenes), in which the author liberally uses the term "allotment" alongside "allotted" etc.
:I contacted the Oxford English Dictionary to see whether this was a correct use, and although it is not in many dictionaries it is in fact in their larger dictionaries and is an acceptable use of the word (in fact it is probably the origin!).
:The use of allotment came to political prominence in the UK House of Lords reform. Although the term sortition can be used in place of allotment, there is unfortunately no verb "to sortit" and the terms "allot" and "allotted" began to be used by some contributors.
:I've looked at the historical background of "allotments" of land. The evidence is ambiguous. The term may derive from a random allocated of portions of ground (I think as compensation for enclosure of common ground) or it might literally mean a "lot" (a portion) of ground being given out. I.e. it is difficult to tell whether the main concept is random allocation or the act of allocation of a portion.
*I was trying to explain to my son what "drawing straws meant" and how it was a fair may to decide who should wake up mum. I somehow got to cleromancy (divination), which was not at all appropriate. Having changed the redirects from cleromancy to be more sensible, I've added a note here to point back to cleromancy, in case anybody might ever looking be looking for a form of divination (who knows?)--Mike 11:41, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Giant leopard moth

message: A recent edit changed the article to remove the portion stating that this is not a wooly bear. However, if you follow the link to wooly bear, you get an article to Arctiidae, which family includes the Giant Leopard Moth, so it would seem it IS a wooly bear. This apparent contradiction needs to be resolved before the edit is remade (maybe link to something other than Arctiidae?). Victor Engel (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Maybe in a few days(going through Canon's lens charts not fun!). BUT!!! If people could add to the individual lens sections, that would be great. Also if anyone has these lenses(I don't), could you please take some photographs of them, in a style such as this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:EF_50mm_18_II.JPG and either add them your selves, or provide a link here.

message: The edit in this section as per the old edition 
[March 3, 2010 version] 
to
[March 13, 2010 version]
was partially irrelevant and has not been changed yet. The Article is NOT about the Chief of the Army staff. It is about Bhiwani. Thus the slight description of the Chief is sufficient. Details about his family and other descriptions have already been given in the article specially devoted to General Vijay Singh. Hence, I am editing the part as per it looks good to the essence of Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nitin.i.azam (talk • contribs) 09:51, 30 November 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Activated complex

message: I'm wondering if each instance of the word "configuration(s)" (currently 5 total) should be changed to "conformation(s)".  Configurations are permanent 3D arrangements of atoms and, while they may be inter-converted over the course of a reaction, most infinitesimal changes on a potential energy surface do not produce a change in configuration.  Rather, I think of those as changes in conformation.  Comparing the descriptions in in Molecular configuration and Conformational isomerism lead me to a similar conclusion. Shanata (talk) 20:24, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Organic chemists distinguish configuration and conformation in the way you propose. But physical chemists concerned with smaller molecules tend to just use configuration for any instantaneous 3D arrangement of atoms, not necessarily permanent. The word conformation is not really used much in this context. Dirac66 (talk) 22:15, 30 April 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Flucytosine

message: On the page, there is written (without reference) that:
:It is not known if flucytosine is a human carcinogen. The issue has been raised because traces of 5-fluorouracil, which is a known carcinogen, are found in the colon resulting from the metabolization of flucytosine.
However, on the 5-fluorouracil page, there is shown that 5-fluorouracil is a chemotherapy agent, but no mention about its carcinogenic properties at all (which, in context, would definitely seem dubious).
Can someone elaborate on this, please?

Generally, a local small town newspaper is not a very reliable source for controversial local information. Newspapers are expected to take a position on local issues. When there is only one, we cannot write about it here because we cannot find neutral sourcing, or even sources on both sides of an issue. In short, until we have either official state or national stats, or in depth journalism on the subject; we do not have enough information to add anything about the MJ business in Kalkaska.
