thread_title:  Move to "Molly" 

message: Is "Dalmation" the correct spelling?  I would think not, but there are almost as many Google hits for it (19,700) as for "Dalmatian Molly" (22,000). Nick Number (talk) 17:53, 11 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Spelling 

message: I'm very doubtful about this sentence: "All species in Poecilia are called mollies except for the Endler's livebearer (P. wingei) and the well-known guppy (P. reticulata) which have a distinctly different body shape from the rest of the genus.".
First, I think lots of other species are not called mollies, e.g. Poecilia picta is often referred to as the swamp guppy. As a university researcher on these species, I think many close relatives of P. reticulata are not called mollies (and sometimes called guppies). A reference would be nice, but at the least this statement is much too strong. Moreover, the body shape comment should at least clarify whether this pertains the male or the female, and also give a reference.

Talk:Endler's livebearer

message: I just posted an Endler's picture. Despite the name of the picture (Poecilia reticulata 01), this picture is actually a picture of Endler's Livebearer (Poecilia wingei). --Chrisverde 00:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Endler's picture 

message: Because Endler's livebearer isn't the only (or most common) common name for this fish. It's also known as Endler livebearer, Endler guppy, and Endler's guppy. I've made redirects for all four common names to the one Latin name, Poecilia wingei. Using the Latin name avoids all confusion.

thread_title:  Why I've moved this page 

message: In the interest of completeness, should we have at least a mention of the question (still open in many people's minds) of whether wingei is merely a subspecies (or even regional race) of reticulata? Despite the current taxonomy, there are still disagreements between the splitters and the lumpers (full disclosure: I'm a lumper).

Talk:East Low German

message: Hi there, I don't understand this point: "Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch (eastern parts; part of the Pommersch dialect group)". What does it actually mean? The eastern parts of "Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch" belong to the "Pommersch dialect group", e. g. are some type of Pommerian Low German or does it mean that the whole Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch can be seen as part of the Pommerian dialects? By the way I only know "Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch", is it that what you mean? The East Low German dialects spoken today in that region are Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch (which hasn't much in common with all the other Pommerian dialects) and (don't know if it still exits) "Mittelpommersch" (don't know the English name, I'm afraid). Mecklenburgisch and Vorpommersch are very similiar, there are only few differences. --89.53.39.146 18:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: What does it mean?

message: I've just changed Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch into Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch. First of all I'm afraid, that there is no link longer, but the dialect Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch doesn't exists. For all of those you understand a bit of German I explained it here . I would suggest that the whole article Mecklenburgisch-Pommersch should be moved to Mecklenburgisch-Vorpommersch. Then we should do the linking. --89.53.60.91 21:11, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Can that be sourced? Forms which seem dubious include:
:6. daglig - rather "däglich" (compare Mecklenburgisch dagdäglich = High German tagtäglich, and HG täglich)?
:8. Soas - "So as" (M. so = HG so, and M. as = HG als, wie sowie)?
:9. Un vör uns - "führ" (from M. führen = HG führen)?
:10. vun - "von" (M. von [cp. Reuter and Brinckman] = HG von)?

Talk:Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act

message: I was hoping to add something to my short added passage on genocidal takings from a second source, by my Google Books preview did not give me a wide enough view. 
* Nazi-Looted Art and the Law: The American Cases by Bruce L. Hay
Top of page 242: The court acknowledged that it was "well-settled that a state's taking of the property of its own citizens, no matter how egregious, does not constitute an international law violation." 
Bottom of page 244: Such genocidal takings, the court noted, violated international law regardless of whether compensation was paid. "The violation is the genocide itself, which occurs at the moment of the taking, whether or not a victim subsequently attempts to obtain relief through the violating sovereign's domestic laws."
Clearly this concerns American law (and precedent), though possibly prior to FSIA. 
In my view, Wikipedia should have something on international law and genocidal takings, only I didn't find much. 
I entered into this topic through the following article: 
* Far more than just compliant cogs (2012) by Martin Thurau 
With these kinds of laws on the books as early as 1933 (overtly discriminatory by 1938) looking the other way in the rest of Westeren Europe must have got off to an early start. 
And from what little I found, it seems like under modern international law, this is still considered largely a family affair. — MaxEnt 19:08, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

While I know how to start a new page, I'm not sure how to start a new page on something where the same name already exists, and how to get links to direct properly.  I'm also not so good at writing in the language style appropriate to Wiki-articles -- so essentially I'm requesting a page on Pipedown (from Edinburgh, Scotland).

Talk:Absolute alcohol

message: The term "denatured alcohol", when applied to absolute alcohol is misleading, and should not be used in this page unless there are enough sources to back its use up. The most common meaning of denatured alcohol is used for alcohol that has been added some chemicals (e.g. bitrex) that make it unfit for human consumption. However, there are other meanings for  denatured alcohol, just look for it as a Wikipedia entry, and you will get to the  methylated spirits page by a redirect.
I will change the references in this article to anhydrous alcohol; if someone can provide accurate references to the use of the term denatured alcohol as an equivalent to absolute alcohol, then we can add that term to the article. --Paiconos 15:55, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Denatured alcohol

message: I'm not into chemistry at all, but I was curious as to what this bottle of "Isopropyl Alcohol" was, and got pretty confused because this article says it's always Ethanol. The bottle says "99.9% Ultra Pure Anhydrious Alcohol", but it is really Isopropyl. So what I'm trying to point out is, Anhydrious Alcohol is not always ethanol. Either that or this bottle of puretronics techncial grade isopropyl alcohol is mislabelled. --Kilorat 07:43, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't get your question.  Isopropyl alcohol = 2-propanol (C3H7OH, propyl alcohol = 1-propanol, same molecular formula, other isomer), ethanol is C2H5OH.  Anhydrous alcohol in general refers to anhydrous ethanol .. is that the confusion you mean .. ??  Dirk Beetstra T C 07:47, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article says "anhydrous alcohol is purified ethanol, (C2H5OH)", which is the cause of my confusion. It does not say it is generally ethanol, it says it IS ethanol. I'm not at all into chemestry, so I wouldn't dream of editing it myself, so I'm just posting on the talk page here. Kilorat 08:26, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

text: I get it! This has to be changed.  It is the common 'when people talk about alcohol they in general talk about ethanol', though that is really not correct.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 08:29, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Compitalia

message: The article states: "Cicero[16] [relates] that it fell on the Kalends of January; but in one of his letters to Atticus[17], he speaks of it as occurring on the fourth before the Nones of January."  Since the kalends of January is 1 January, and the nones of January is 5 January, wouldn't the fourth day before the nones of January be the same as the kalends of January?
--Bob
*When they counted backwards, they included the day they were counting back from. So, 4 days before January 5th is 5, 4, 3, 2 -- the 2nd of January. January 3rd is 3 days before the nones: 5, 4, 3. More info here. — BRIAN0918 • 2006-06-20 21:34

message: A rewrite's imminent, as and when I can get around to it. The article relies almost entirely on primary source material; the use of such is fine, but it should be critically filtered through secondary scholarship.
