Talk:Erythema

message: Language used in a technical fields is often different from standard English.  "It occurs with any skin injury, infection, or inflammation" appears like it might mean "It can occur with any skin injury, infection, or inflammation" in standard English.  Can an expert confirm that there is erythema in absolutely every instance of skin injury, infection, or inflammation?  If not, then this should be converted to standard English, unless there's a WP that says otherwise.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.203.125.108 (talk) 00:21, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

It has lot of ads and since I'm comparatively new, I'm not sure if its suitable as a reference. Traintogain (talk) 07:15, 8 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello! and welcome to Wikipedia. The number of ads on a page is often a sign of bad sources but that is not always the case. Have a look at WP:MEDRS for a good guide on preferred sources on WP:MEDICINE articles. In my opinion the linked article is not a high quality source because it offers advice rather than scientific health information suitable for an encyclopedia. Try going through the list of references at the end of said article and see if it leads to some good sources. Wafflephile (talk) 18:14, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Augusto, Michaela, and Lorenzo Odone

message: They are not both deced.  The way the article is written, it makes it appear both parents were born on the same day and died on the same day.  Some entry needs to be made for Augusto, at least a birth year to indicate he is still living.  That info was most likely lost in the merge.Lisapollison 08:18, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

However, such material is copyrightable under the United States law that governs Wikipedia only to the extent that human creativity is involved either in the information or the method of display. In this case, creativity is reflected in neither. The chart consists of a numerically organized one-for-one comparison of the size of the French catheter scale with millimeters and inches.

Frysk (West Frisian) fy:Allen & Unwin is a shorter article that features the Australian company; with some information about the British ancestor, who is prominent in the brief lead. Only Frysk fy:George Allen & Unwin covers the British publisher in a separate article. That is, only FY.wiki covers the two publishers on separate pages, with proper sorting so that I can find them via Wikidata. It's the unique XX.wiki article with Wikidata-item "George Russell & Unwin" (really?) (inception 1976; founded by US American-football coach George Allen). It's interlanguage link to our article[here] is manual. That is, it's locally curated, not managed via Wikidata "Allen & Unwin"; see the very last line of the latter FY article.

replies: text: No, but it is the only language I know of that has primitive wrappers as part of the standard library/language.  The distinction here is that the wrapper classes are to 'wrap' the non-object primitive types in an object so that every type can be treated generically as an object. —Doug Bell talk•contrib 09:59, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Other languages

message: It's my understanding that wrapper classes need not refer specifically to the case of primitive wrappers, and for that matter they need not be specific to Java.  I believe that in general wrappers can be used to add additional layers of encapsulation, but I came here hoping for a better definition only to find that Wrapper class redirected here.  Shouldn't there be a separate page for wrapper classes in general, or at least something to indicate that not all wrappers are primitive wrappers? Mickeyg13 (talk) 22:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Non-primitive Wrappers

message: The article should mention that there is a significant difference between primitives and their wrapper objects when it comes to memory consumption. Although this might not be part of the Java language specification, in real life JVMs an Integer object requires typically several times as much heap space compared to a primitive int.

message: The information provided on speech in noise testing is very limited to a description on hearing in noise. It is a very valuable portion of the test battery as it represents a key complaint found in hearing aid users - this being the issue of being unable to hear speech in noise.  It would be good to mention how well these types of tests evaluate the two component characteristics of hearing loss: the loss of acuity and the loss in the ability to clarify speech. 
The information also only encompasses a description of one type of speech in noise test. In fact, there has been new test developed to be more efficient, such as the QuickSIN.  A brief overview of the more popular tests would be a good idea to include in a description page such as this.
