message: Hi Tannin - looking at this makes me wonder, is your photo at Richard's Pipit (Anthus richardi, recently split from A. novaeseelandiae) this, or an Australasian Pipit (A. novaeseelandiae sensu stricto)? - MPF 16:51, 4 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Damn it, MPF, I was flat out deciding it was a pipit, never mind the finer points. :) Those brownish grassland birds - there are about half a dozen of them - are hard! It would be A. novaeseelandiae, no doubt, as it was taken ony a few miles from Ballarat. Until now, I wasn't aware there was a difference. My field guides say "Australian(Richard's) Pipit" and I never thought to wonder why. Tannin 07:56, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Tannin - thanks; I fear it may not be quite so simple, as although A. richardi breeds in Asia, it winters in Australia. So if your pic was taken between October-March, the possibility of A. richardi remains. Could you check HANZAB please, to see if richardi gets as far south as Ballarat? - if yes, we'll have to get someone familiar with both species to identify it on plumage :-) I had a go myself comparing it with pics on the net, and couldn't decide . . . - MPF 13:31, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Regarding the photo: The chick on the left looks like it has a buzz-saw of teeth on the roof of its mouth. The article on Wikipedia doesn't mention what it could be. Is this "throat" a gape marking? Hubzilla 02:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Article requests 

message: I am trying to disambiguate this.  Actually, disambiguation won't be too hard, but some of the target articles are a problem.  Substrate (biology) was a completely wrong article, so I wrote a stub.  I am going to redirect Substrate (chemistry) to Substrate (biochemistry) because I don't know how they differ.  I'll direct those articles to both as seems apropriate, but if I am not sure and I see the word "enzyme" anywhere on the page I'll just go with Substrate (biochemistry) and call it good enough.  The article on Substrate (marine biology) is also pretty bad.  There's no article for some uses, such as Varnish.  I am going to unlink those.  So I've decided I know enough to disambiguate this, but the target articles are weak.-- Randall Bart 07:28, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

message: So,  was only partially correct. #top all lowercase is actually special cased by MediaWiki (see mw:Help:Links#A manual anchor). Any other capitalization falls back to the HTML spec.

Please reserve your chosen approach (BOLD, revert, revert) for genuine mistakes, where you have no reason to believe the discussion will need to continue.

message: There is a different kind of throttling, which is used on some CPUs like Northwood or Prescott, when they get too hot. This is different from dynamic frequency scaling or Throttling process (computing). This kind of thermal throttling actually replaces some clock cycles w/ idle cycles w/o reducing the clock speed. This kind of throttling is called TM1 by Intel (TM2 lowers the multiplier like Intel SpeedStep, it is a form of dynamic frequency scaling).   --MrBurns (talk) 02:47, 8 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Tongyangxi

message: Perhaps this is an archaic usage of the word "shim-pua", but I'm quite certain this is not the contemporary usage.  "Shim-pua" is the Taiwanese word for 媳婦, daughter-in-law (although the word itself is somewhat antiquated).  The concept described in the article is more like 童養媳.  I wish I could find online references to back this up, but I can't find an English source that has the latter word.  Any other Wikipedians from Taiwan want to back me up (or contradict me ^_^)?  madoka 11:41, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
:I agree.  Phonologically, the character 媳 cannot be the correct one for sim (its Old Chinese reading is *slɯɡ and cannot account for the -m ending in Hokkien).  It has to be 新, which does have an Old and Middle Chinese -m ending.  Moreover, the term 新婦 means daughter-in-law in a number of other southern Chinese dialect groups, including Wu and Yue.

Talk:Sotalol

message: "Sotalol is contraindicated in the setting of decreased ejection fraction due to ischemic heart disease."
In my opinion, the sentence is at best simplistic. It is certainly not the logical conclusion of the reference. 'Regular' sotalol is composed of D and L isomers as a racemic mixture. Both isomers have class III activity, but only the L isomer has class II activity. The study specifically chose the D isomer to exclude beta-blocker activity. However the benefits of beta blockade in acute MI are well-known.
While beta-blockers are not indicated in acute LVF, they are useful in stable disease. [Metoprolol, carvedilol and bisoprolol certainly are, and this probably represents a class effect.] Axl 12:21, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Talk:Auto Train

message: Is anyone actually working on getting those removed? They have been there for 7 months now. The two sections in question are certainly unreferenced and infested with weasel words. If no one objects to this I frankly suggest that they be deleted from the article until someone is actually able to source the information in them. Dispute tags are not meant to stay there forever. They are meant as an encouragment to improve the article/section. If that doen't happen then it needs to be considered if it should be removed. MartinDK 15:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

References
I need to add references to the two suggested  l'homme arme origins:-
The St Michael the Archangel attribution is from 'The Pelican History of Music, vol2' ed Robertson & Stevens, Pelican 1963
The 'Cambrai pub' attribution is from Pryer's article on Dufay in 'the New Oxford Companion to Music' Oxford 1983
I think the standard reference on Cantus Firmus is still Sparks' 'Cantus Firmus in Mass & Motet' Berkeley 1963

replies: text: I think we definitely have enough for a l'homme armé article.  It will need a musical example, of course.  Thanks for the Pryer reference--I had never heard this one, and it's a good story.  I remember reading that the "armed man" probably referred to arming oneself for the ongoing fight with the Turks (remember, this was right around the time of the fall of Constantinople) --there's a pretty good article in Grove which I can look up when I get home from work.  Also if I remember there are a total of 31 settings of the tune in masses between 1450 and 1650.  Fun stuff.  Antandrus 16:03, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/HistoryBuffEr and Jayjg

message: I think that since HistoryBuffEr and Alberuni have reached Wikipedia, the atmosphere has become significantly worse, and this is flowing over to other areas of Wikipedia. Personally I find myself writing talk responses that are too short or even blunt, then stopping myself in midsentence saying hey, this guy isn't HistoryBuffEr, and rewritting. And I see this pattern of lack of patience and disrespect in other Wikipedians. As a result we had a number of aggressive newbies in other areas (User:Melamed, User:CheeseDreams, User:ranamim). They see and they learn. This must be stopped now, the danger is imminent. I suggest that as a temporary injunction, everyone involved in this dispute (me included, of course) would receive a three revert rule parole (and possibly a civility parole). Gady 13:59, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
