Talk:Agrotis

message: Needs review regarding taxonomy (parentheses etc). I suspect 10% or more may be wrong, and it's always to better to move authors to taxobox only as soon as the article exists. Except in cases of ambiguous authorship, homonymy etc. of course. If there's only one entity which a scientific name could conceivably be, we don't need to know the the author, we only need to know where we can find it (at the taxon in question's page, or in the higher taxon if the lower is still redlink). And there are too few good sources, CoL has it horribly horribly horribly horribly wrong all the time for example, and in this case it's probably the main source of error. ITIS too is also very bad, Zipcodezoo is generally frowned upon and rightly so. WoRMS is usually good, Savela and Haaramo are often excellent but sometimes very bad (with them it's checking out their sources, they are cited for a reason), BioLib.cz is OK in a pinch. Fauna Europaea is right far more often than not but has diacritics messed up; altogether there is little to no reliable taxonomic index other than to revert to the original literature. There are such indices for birds, mammals, fishes, herptiles, but not for insects.  Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 20:44, 17 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I am no taxonomist so I cannot talk along. For all I can tell, every word you say could be spot on; it sounds like the usual sort of thing. My own interest in the article is rather in the biological and applied aspects, which was why I visited (and marginally expanded) it. I used it for linking. I am all in favour of them as has the skills, tidying up what is to be tidied, (even I would like to see more hard-copy refs) but please don't anyone get brutal and delete it all, even if someone finds reason to change the genus name or split the genus, leaving only 1 species! ;-) Cheers, JonRichfield (talk) 09:41, 27 April 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Megachile rotundata

message: M. rotundata article was well written and organized. However, there were some grammatical errors that I fixed. I added hyperlinks to sexual dimorphism, scopa, and alkenes, so that those who do not have a science background can still understand what is going on. Also, I reworded some sentence to make the article flow better. Some recommendations I would have for you is to expand more on taxonomy and phylogeny and add a section on communication among adults or larvae. Overall it was well thought out. Overall, the sections were well thought out and had lots of relevant information.

thread_title: Peer Review

message: Overall this article was well done - it was well researched and contained a lot of relevant content. I did make several changes. Like the previous two reviewers Mohp7 and Kjkozak, I found the taxonomy and phylogeny section to be too short. I went ahead and made it slightly longer by adding a sentence about the genus Megachile. 
I also made several changes to the overview section. The other sections contained lots of very interesting and unique information about Megachile rotundata which I felt could be included in the overview to hook readrs. I went ahead and included information about its ability to bite as well as sting. I also added details about how farmers purchase M. rotundata prepupae to aid pollination and how they also  fruits in addition to vegetables.

thread_title: Bunsen-Kirchhoff Award reference

message: In the 19th century Kirchoff was a professor at the University of Heidelberg and became interested in the phenomenon of diffraction of light. In his first work in the area, he gave a full demonstration of Huygens principle, noting that the version of Huygens was erroneous. Later, with his fellow, the chemist Robert Bunsen, he developed a very careful study of the spectra of light emitted by various elements, using a diffraction grating. They made a startling discovery: that the elements, and actually, all substances can be characterized by the spectrum of light they emit. This alone would make him one of the greatest physicists in History. But then he had another great idea: he pointed his diffraction gratings at the stars, and found through the spectra, that they were made of the same elements found on Earth (there were some elements not yet known on Earth, which he then discovered). Namely, he showed that our Physics and Chemistry are the same of the stars.
Later he also made major discoveries about the blackbody radiation (concept, by the way, invented by him). But this is getting too long. A large volume is needed to describe the great work of Gustav Kirchhoff.
Notice that even the Kirchhoff's circuit laws the way they are taught in high school, are a very simplified version of his work. Kirchoff made important advances in topology to prove the rules. To get an idea of the level of his work on circuits, a good place is:

thread_title: Behavioral Ecology course assignment

message: I noticed that the article is very repetitive, and it repeats the fact that the moth travels in dried fruit at least 5 times. Still, I did not want to take this information out because it is relevant in every section that it is stated in. That being said, if you can find a way to add information to sections like habitat, geographic range, or interactions with humans, so that they do not consist only of information found in other parts of the article (or perhaps remove some of these sections because they just repeat what was already said). I did not do this myself because I do not want to remove entire sections because they are all important, but perhaps think about it. I removed other information that was unnecessary or repetitive, and fixed several grammatical or syntax errors.Alexandra.payne (talk) 23:27, 5 October 2017 (UTC)
thread_title: potential edits

message: Hello,
The article as a whole is very good and is very close to Good Article Status. For one I would suggest that the habitat section be expanded. It can include a little more about what kind of environment the moths thrive in. For example, what kinds of environments do the dried fruit that the almond moths live in exist? Additionally, in terms of parental care, is there any information available regarding how parental care exists after oviposition? This would be a helpful piece of information to make this article more complete.
Overall, great article! vkrishnan2 (talk) 14:27, 29 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: This is a very well-written and detailed article of the almond moth. I especially enjoyed reading the “Mating” section and found it particularly insightful. I went ahead and made some minor changes to certain parts of your article to make it flow better. I also added a picture of an almond moth larva that I felt fit in well with the information being presented. Some suggestions I have is to expand on the cannibalistic nature of the moth. This was briefly mentioned in “Food sources” but wasn’t really explained any further. This could be a very interesting topic to talk about.Y.shin (talk) 05:50, 30 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Sports photography is an important form of Visual Culture. The article has really good structure by breaking down to three major chapter - Equipment, Techniques and Photographers. 
It provides the basic information about the lenses and camera bodies typically used in sports photography. I think it would be helpful to add motion cameras, such as go pro to the list as more and more source of sports photography are taken in actions. 
I think another thing would help to improve the quality of the paragraph is to give more specific techniques to Sports Photography. As a sports fan, I usually struggled in taking good quality pictures in sports events. It would be better to give step by step instructions from finding the location, to setting up the flash lights and finally framing the picture. The reader would benefit if there is specific instructions, it will increase the impact of Sports Photography. 
Further after Photographers sections, it would be important to add a parallel chapter to list several famous, influential examples of the Sports Photography. I could think of Michael Jordan - “Airness” dunk picture would be a great example to study for future photographers. 
Last but not the least, I think it is important to create a linkage between sports photography and visual arts. Sports photography is an important method of the visual culture. As a student currently enrolled in Visual Culture class, a lot of people have misunderstanding of visual culture. In fact, visual culture is everywhere in our life. As important as sport events are in our life, it is already a component of visual culture, which could not be overlooked. I am looking to use my knowledge learnt from the course to improve the article. My goal is to get more reader to recognize the real meaning of visual culture and potentially leader more people into Sports photography by providing specific and detailed information.Haitaoyu (talk) 04:58, 31 January 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Hantaro Nagaoka

message: The article states "In 1904, Nagaoka developed an early, incorrect "planetary model" of the atom.[1]".  However, in his 1922 Nobel lecture, Niels Bohr said, "In this picture we at once see a striking resemblance to a planetary system, such as we have in our own solar system."  I am working on an electrostatic model of the electron cloud that does not necessitate electrons traveling in high speed orbits.  Rather, electrons and protons/nuclei can coexist without orbiting to keep them separate.  As we have learned, electrons only rarely collapse into the nucleus through electron capture (see the CRC, section11).  And, it never happens with hydrogen nuclei outside plasma hot circumstances.  (The decay of a neutron results in producing a proton and an electron, and releases energy in the form of a neutrino.  Because of the release of energy the reaction is irreversible.  Protons and electrons do not spontaneously combine.)  So who published that Nagaoka was wrong, or right?  I am happy to hear discussion on whether the planetary model is correct with scientific literature references.  My Flatley (talk) 22:43, 5 February 2011 (UTC)
