thread_title:  Okay 

message: The current name as used for the article title and as mentioned in the text has several issues:
# The part « Miss Joaquim » should not be in single quotes, because it is a grex name rather than a cultivar.
# The genus name is now Papilionanthe rather than Vanda.
Here are two references for confirmation:
* http://apps.rhs.org.uk/horticulturaldatabase/orchidregister/orchiddetails.asp?ID=70997
* http://bluenanta.com/orchid/100070997/hybrid_detail/?tab=sum
The first of those references is to the Royal Horticultural Society, which is the registrar for orchid names.
There is also the book Biology of Vanda Miss Joaquim by De Choy Sin Hew, Tim Wing Yam, and Joseph Arditti. I can't copy-paste the text of book here because I only have access to it via Google Books, but it confirms on Page 2 that « Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim » is the correct name, and that it has a cultivar named 'Agnes', giving the full name « Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim 'Agnes' ».  The book also states that is is the grex Papilionanthe Miss Joaquim that is the national flower of Singapore, rather than the particular cultivar.
Note:  As an orchid which is often mentioned in non-horticultural circles, this orchid is subject to having its name mangled a lot.
If there are no objections, I will make the corresponding changes.–Jérôme (talk) 11:07, 29 March 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  Close paraphrasing 

message: Under the general history, the article says in 1962 that TAMUG began as marine laboratory and home of the TMA (without any citation). Nothing i've looked at has shown TMA and the Marine laboratory being united before 1971, when the "moody college" came about on pelican island. I believe from 1962 to 1971 it was only the Texas Maritime Academy of Texas A&M located at Fort Crocket. I've read there was a separate maritime laboratory before 1971 at the UTMC, but not sure how it was affiliated with A&M. Am I wrong?--MarlinespikeMate (talk) 03:00, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Upon further research, I see the Marine Laboratory of the oceanography department of Texas A&M was housed at Fort Crockett in 1958. The Texas A&M Maritime Academy was housed 1962 at Fort Crockett with the marine laboratory. Around 1970 they were later moved to the pelican island land that was donated.--MarlinespikeMate (talk) 06:35, 23 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: So the hard part remains. When did the campus come about? Was it when A&M's oceanography department started in 1958? Was it when the Texas Maritime Academy was created under A&M in 1962? Or was it around 1971 when the Texas Maritime Academy and other majors moved to pelican island? Form what I've seen, the general consencus is 1962, upon creation of the Texas Maritime Academy. This is the backbone of the campus, and there wouldn't be a TAMUG without it.. I feel the current history is misleading, or not accurate (encyclopedic) enough.--MarlinespikeMate (talk) 20:17, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Egbert II, Margrave of Meissen

message: Can I ask why the format "the Emperor Henry IV" was changed to "Henry IV, Holy Roman Emperor" and "the future Emperor Lothair II" to "future Lothair III, Holy Roman Emperor"?  It seems clunkier and less accurate now.  Clunkier because the new method forces the addition of commas and future now modifies "Lothair III", which is not wrong, but less typical: it is important that he was later emperor, not later enumerated "the Third".  Finally, it is less accurate because the term Holy Roman Emperor is not current for Lothair and Henry (in fact, they were not even the III and IV emperors of their names: that's why Lothair II).  I won't revert it, but I think it was a silly and pointless modification. Srnec 06:14, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Marshall Defense

message: I'm not convinced about "White gets a clear advantage with 3.cxd5 Nxd5 4.Nf3! Bf5 5.Qb3."  There are only 5 games in Chesslab with this line of play after 1997.  White won in 4 and had a draw in the 5th.  Crafty version 19.19 rates this as a slight advantage for white with an evaluation of +0.10 after 10 minutes of calculations.
The alternate of  3.cxd5 Nxd5 4.e4?! Nf6 5.Nc3 e5! 6.dxe5 Qxd1+ 7.Kxd1 Ng4! still leads to 8.Nd5 Nxf2+ 9.Ke1 Nxh1 10.Nxc7+ with Crafty version 19.19 indicating a substantial lead of +0.99 for white.  Both kings lose their ability to castle.  The one game in Chesslab gives a win for white.
It looks to me like 4.e4 is the better move over 4.Nf3.  Does anyone have a different analysis?

thread_title:  Queen's gambit refused 

message: No quarrel that it's dubious, but it does continue to be used by a small number of high level players. Looking at the chess game database on chesstempo.com, the starting position of the Marshall Defense was played in Master vs. Master games more than 200 times, including at least 50 times since the Watson reference cited to make this statement. This includes 14 games between 2400+ vs. 2400+ players since 2007. As such, the reference is dated and was empirically overbroad at the time it was made. I suggest the statement be edited to say that it is rarely used by experience players today. Ftjrwrites (talk) 20:06, 27 May 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  "No longer used by experience players." 

message: According to Stockfish 14 at depth 33, 4.cxd5 is the strongest move in this position, with an eval of +1.0 vs +0.2 for Nf3, +0.2 for Nc3, and +0.2 for e4.
I think that this warrants a removal of the line which claims that 4.Nf3 is the strongest response to the Marshall Defense, and perhaps a recommendation of 4.cxd5 instead.
I am new to editing on Wikipedia, so am unsure of the protocol here, but I feel the engine eval is strong enough to change this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by XobTsop (talk • contribs) 00:14, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
