Talk:Sedimentation

message: Hi, this page is for discussing our presentation of sedimentation.  Willow 11:50, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

message: First, settling and sedimentation are very important concepts in earth sciences, namely sedimentology (which is not physics!). Having said that, let me point out why they should not be merged.
Sediment transport has three parts, start, ongoing, end. The start can be erosion, or a mass movement that merges into a mudflow that merges into a hyperconcentrated flow that merges into a normal flow. The ongoing is by suspended transport, saltation, or bedload transport. The end is sedimentation, resulting in sediment accumulation, deposition, accretion. Erosion - transport - sedimentation is an established concept. 
Settling on the other hand refers exclusivly to the tendency of suspended particles to fall under the influence of some force, notably gravity in an earth science context. Thus, the end point of settling is sedimentation. Just the end point! And sedimentation does not have to be preceded by settling. Boulders rolling on the bottom are not settling, for instance, since they are always matrix supported.
Thus, don't merge, but make the division of concepts strict as I have outlined here. 24.127.208.87 (talk) 17:49, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Prince Naif bin Abdulaziz International Airport

message: The word "Regional" is not in the new name of the airport, according to the second cite (in English). I don't read Arabic – can someone confirm what the first cite says? How about the actual government press release? The only Google hits for the various permutations of "Prince {Naif|Nayef} bin {Abdul Aziz|AbdulAziz} [Regional] Airport" are thousands for "Prince Naif bin Abdul Aziz Airport" and just one for "Prince Nayef Bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport". —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 10:21, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Anyone? —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 12:45, 24 July 2012 (UTC)

text: I understand that the airport may be "regional" (though even that classification is doubtful, given the international flights). What I'm looking for is the actual, official name given by the government and a source to cite. From my initial research, I suspect the word "regional" is no longer part of the name and that we need to fix and move the page. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 16:10, 4 August 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regional 

message: As of this revision (at 2012-08-04T15:53:04Z) of Prince Nayef Bin Abdulaziz Regional Airport, I had researched and cited each of the destinations flown to from this airport, removing several in the process.
User:89.211.136.130, in 3 edits ending at 2012-08-05T19:49:33Z, removed my carefully-researched cites and added destinations (LHR by two carriers, BAH, Medan, Surabaya), for which I can find no evidence of flights existing. I attempted to use his talk page to work it out, but got no response. Assuming good faith, language could be an issue – the IP address is registered in Qatar.
At 2012-08-07T00:27:29Z, User:72.89.35.142 then replaced LHR, Medan, and Surabaya via QR with Doha (also no evidence of a flight there).
Ending at 2012-08-09T16:09:41‎Z, another IP user (User:2.90.15.72) then reverted the last edit, and removed the other LHR (correctly!)
Ending at 2012-08-09T23:09:11‎Z, another IP user (User:212.118.143.32) then added Nesma Airlines to Cairo – also apparently incorrect. They have only 2 A320s, and fly CAI–TIF and CAI–TUU according to their website.
I'm reverting the destination table back to the way I had it (at 2012-08-04T15:53:04Z). Please – if anyone wants to add/edit/delete destinations, make sure you are looking at a direct (i.e. only one aircraft, not necessarily non-stop), non-codeshare flight (as documented somewhere in WP:WikiProject Airports) and cite your source (hopefully the carrier's official timetable). —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 22:29, 14 August 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Less than two hours after posting the above, fixing the article, and notifying the involved IP users at their talk pages (at 2012-08-15T00:23:56Z), User:72.89.35.142 added carrier QR again, with a (non-existent by all sources) flight to DOH, without explanation anywhere. —[AlanM1 (talk)]— 22:47, 15 August 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Thuringii

message: It seems Walter Pohl and others equate the Thuringii with Odoacer's group, the Turcilingi, who may have been a part of the Scirii, who were in any case apparently along with them within the group of peoples that had been powerful within the empire of Attila. Odoacer's father is often thought to have been an important man in that empire. Odoacer himself is associated with the Danubian peoples, and after becoming king of Italy fought for control of the area against the Rugii. Guy Halsall has a section on the earliest mentions of the Thuringii under that name, which seem to be all post Attila. The name of their early laws also seemed to connect them to the Varni? (Varni are also mentioned by Procopius as being very widespread.)--Andrew Lancaster (talk) 15:21, 13 January 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  notes for further work 

message: I'm removing this statement from the article, which makes a claim about something Procopius said, apparently in "Gothic Wars":
:He also mentions a story about a marriage alliance between the Varini and the Angles in England, indicating long distance links.
I couldn't find this statement in "Gothic Wars" and I'm having a hard time finding anything about the Angles in the works of Procopius. Because of that, this statement seems suspicious and I'm removing it; if someone can provide a reliable cite that Procopius did say it, then please do so.--Beneficii (talk) 23:59, 30 July 2017 (UTC)

message: The quote attributed to Davis is all over the internet as a result of the movie's PR campaign, but the book itself does not include the quoted text at all.  The closest I can find is on page 298: "As even The [Los Angeles] Times recognized, the decimation of the Panthers led directly to a recrudescence of gangs in the early 1970s.  ‘Crippin,’ the most extraordinary new gang phenommenon was a bastard offspring of the Panthers’ former charisma, filling the void left by the LAPD SWAT teams.

message: This is a perfectly good and adequate discussion of what a barback does. It need not be marked "stub." Nor does it require criticism on the ground of not including any references. What kinds of references could one find? On bartending in general, and on the mechanics of running a bar, sure, there are plenty of books. But not on the subject of "barback." In this regard, a search of Amazon books did nothing to dispel my assumption. There are no books about how to be a barback. Dratman (talk) 04:18, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

These banners existed because, originally the article was about a singular character named Renn (or Singer Renn) from the novel trilogy The Echorium Sequence.

Since that time many articles were created with the name “Renn” in title (I have found 16), or with redirects with “Renn” in them.

I believe this paragraph includes unverifiable statements. "A community" assumes that no community can achieve said focus. "only people who offer a service" is also too general.
