Talk:John Macleod (physiologist)

message: I have removed the "rumour" that MacLeod did not participate in the discovery of insulin and was on holiday when it occurred.  John Waller's Fabulous Science describes the way Charles Best attempted to discount the contributions of the other scientists involved - Best and Banting only obtained good results once MacLeod started advising them on experimental technique, and the crucial use of alcohol in extracting insulin was entirely MacLeod's suggestion.
--Andrew Norman 17:28, Dec 5, 2004 (UTC)
:That MacLeod was on vacation in Scotland while Banting and Best did their initial experiments in the summer of 1921 is not a rumour.  It's a fact.  However, whether Banting and Best's results from the summer of '21 were good enough to constitute the "discovery" of insulin without MacLeod's input and supervision is a separate question.

Talk:Gitanos (version 2)

message: Gitanos don-t live only in Andalusia, but in another regions too.
Around 40% of Gitanos live  in Andalusia but also in the rest of Spain, Southern France (Perpignan area bordering with Spain) and in Morrocco. Contrary to what is written below, Gitanos did not invent Flamenco (an Andalusian art) but contributed greatly to it. Roma are not creators of any of the musical styles listed below. They have influenced some of them... "Roma in Spain" and "Gitanos" perhaps should be merged but they are not the same thing. There are Roma immigrants in Spain who are not Spanish (coming from the Balkans) and are not Gitanos. Gitanos are ethnic Roma but are also ethnic Spanish (wherever they live).--Burgas00 13:13, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Treaty of Versailles

message: Whilst in the end not resulting in very much in the way of convictions, the war crimes issues around the Versailles agreement were an important factor in both the negotiations and the implementation of the agreement. That this is so is evidenced by, for example, the last-minute refusal of the Germans being explicitly because of articles 227-230 (i.e., the ones dealing with putting the Kaiser on trial, and trying war criminals) as well as article 231 (i.e., the "war guilt" clause). Previously this article did not mention the topic at all which is a serious omission. Even general histories of the WW1 period typically mention this issue, and there is substantial scholarship on the topic. I've added in the relevant content to each of the "big four" (though I don't think the Italians had an explicit agreed position), to the description of the agreement, and to the violations section (since in the end extradition was refused and the Germans declared not to have carried out the trials properly). FOARP (talk) 09:38, 3 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  War crimes 

message: I think one thing this article is possibly missing is some of the context of why states wanted what they wanted from Germany. For example, regaining Alsace-Lorraine was a very important goal of France, but we essentially leave the question of "why?" hanging. similarly, Poland kind of just appears in the text of the article with no real explanation as to why so much Polish territory was occupied by Germany. Since the article is already very long, and also since I am aware that one can always extend the period in a history article backwards to further explain who-did-what which can turn in to a historical blame-game, I don't feel confident to simply add this in without discussing first. What I'm thinking of is something along the lines of:
::===The German Empire===
::During the German wars of unification, Prussia under Bismarck successfully unified the smaller German states into an empire. In the course of these wars Schleswig-Holstein and (formerly-French) Alsace-Lorraine were added to earlier Prussian conquests in Poland as constituent parts of the German Reich. The peace Bismarck imposed on France in particular caused lasting bitterness in that country.
For sources on all this Weinberg's "The Defeat of Germany in 1918 and the European Balance of Power" appears to be a good source both factually and for these being relevant to Versailles (see, e.g., 252-3 on Poland). FOARP (talk) 10:10, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

I understand that there was a suggestion that a general crime of taking be implemented but that what was done instead was to make two particular crimes of taking (1) vehicles (and bicycles, although the punishment is a lesser one for a bike); and (2) works of art in collections open to the public -- there has been a spate of art students wanting works of art to "be" with them.

Talk:The Limits to Growth

message: In the 2010s the UN released its Decoupling Natural Resource Use and Environmental Impacts from Economic Growth report. Writing in The Conversation in 2017, a team lead by University lecturer James Wards, noted that "most conventional economists and policymakers now endorse the idea that economic growth can be decoupled from environmental impacts that the economy can grow, without using more resources and exacerbating environmental problems" and that this is presently ongoing, citing a paper by Hatfield-Dodds et. al published in Nature  that incentivizing technology to do so, would suffice alone, with multiple example economies growing upon this trend, without using more resources or exacerbating environmental problems. In 2021 Our World in Data presented data that the countries of Sweden and Switzerland most notably have continued economic growth over the last decade at 50%, yet with declining carbon emissions and energy usage.
If another editor would like to include Lecturer James Wards non-peer-reviewed personal opinions in the supporters section of limits..., or any other papers they may cite, then they may. However the repeated egregious blanking removal, of what is most notable about this reference, is the quote "most economists [disagree with Limits...]" and the Nature paper Wards links to immediately upon these very words. Hatfield-Dodds. That make it WP:NOTABLE and representative of a WP:CONSENSUS in the field. 
By contrast the low impact rating of the paper that Wards personally sides with, claiming decoupling hasn't occurred, isn't particularly relevant, notable nor is it supported by either "most economists" nor the very data that has come out of Sweden & Switzerland. So the repeated attempt to shoe-horn it in, between the two, as another editor has repeatedly done, is looking more and more like WP:FRINGE. As our world in data summarizes "decoupling has occurred "even [when] offshoring is taken into account".

replies: text: Neither the UN report nor Ward's commentary mention Limits to Growth.   Those views may be relevant to other articles, such as Eco-economic decoupling but they have zilch to do with criticisms directed at Limits to Growth.  Also, you don't mean "notable" because WP:NOTABLE refers to what articles are worthy of existing.   What I think you mean is WP:WEIGHT, which is about what content is worth including.

:Machine learning model (PERFORM) have been developed to generate a patient-specific risk score for PE by analyzing longitudinal clinical data as clinical decision support for patients referred for CT imaging for PE in order to reduce the rate of CTPA imaging. The model was tested on holdout patient EMR data from 2 large, academic medical practices. A total of 3397 annotated CT imaging examinations for PE from 3214 unique patients seen at Stanford University hospitals and clinics were used for training and validation. The models were externally validated on 240 unique patients seen at Duke University Medical Center. The comparison with clinical scoring systems was done on randomly selected 100 outpatient samples from Stanford University hospitals and clinics and 101 outpatient samples from Duke University Medical Center. The model achieved an AUROC performance of predicting a positive PE study of 0.90 (95% CI, 0.87-0.91) on intrainstitutional holdout data with an AUROC of 0.71 (95% CI, 0.69-0.72) on an external data set from Duke University Medical Center; superior AUROC performance and cross-institutional generalization of the model of 0.81 (95% CI, 0.77-0.87) and 0.81 (95% CI, 0.73-0.82), respectively, were noted on holdout outpatient populations from both intrainstitutional and extrainstitutional data
