thread_title:  Use in advertising  

message: I think an aspect if fmri that is not adequately covered in this article is its criticisms.
for example, the fact that fMRI is not that good at drawing conclusions on the behavior of individual people due to poor reliability.
also that over 50% (that is a generous figure) of the brain activity is lost due to very poor temporal resolution.
it takes 1msec (=milisecond) for a neuron to send a spike (single electrical pulse) and its been found statisticly that a neurons can send a "sentance" or series of spikes that convay meaningfull 
information to other neurons within 10-20 msec. fmri takes 1 image per 3 whole seconds and fmri has been critisised for this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by RJJ4y7 (talk • contribs) 15:57, 16 July 2020 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Article series boxes

message: This concept reminds me of the days when some professions were not allowed to advertise their profession.  Even today, the public is supposed to magically pick the best physician out of a mob of possible choices.  And, if they managed to chose the wrong doctor, it is all their fault.  Oh! If only they had chosen the correct doctor!  They would never have gotten themselves into their present mess.
Well, surprise, surprise, surprise ... ASBs came into existence out of the necessity for better navigation.  If  Wikipedia had a better lightning fast search facility there would indeed be no need for ASBs.  But, until that time ... ASBs are the answer rather than the problem. -- John Gohde 20:08, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Blaze Starr

message: This article could really use an image, and several turn up with a simple Google search, but I don't know that any of them can be used because of copyright issues. If someone can find a usable image, please add it. -- Scarequotes 05:54, May 8, 2004 (UTC)
----
I cut this paragraph because I don't think there's enough evidence to include it in an encyclopedia-style reference work:
:Starr is also rumored to have had flings with other well-known men, including John F. Kennedy. Some sources claim that he had sex with her the day of his famous 1960 debate with Richard Nixon and gave her partial credit for his winning performance that evening.
It can be put back in if more evidence is found. -- Scarequotes 17:38, May 4, 2004 (UTC)
Eleven years later, I agree with Scarequotes on two points: 1) the above sentence can be used only with inline documentation, and 2) the article needs a non-copyright vio image. Can someone oblige?

Jackie left, and while Earl was elsewhere, I wound up having a quickie in a closet with Jack." Those are her own words, which is a good start.

The link to "Green Parties World Wide" seems questionable. Green != green liberal. E.g. for Sweden, the listed party here is the left-wing  Miljöpartiet, while Centerpartiet, who actually call themselves both "green", "green vote" ("grön röst"), "liberals" and "green liberals" is not listed.

However, whoever added information on green neoliberalism did a very poor job and showed overwhelming bias against green neoliberalism to the point it seems questionable.

I attempted to find it elsewhere online but was unsuccessful.

When the lead starts with, "Milk toast is a breakfast food consisting of toasted bread in warm milk"—an example of just how truly 'simple' the dish can be—to then use "simple" as a descriptor under an image with pooled white sauce and sprinkled cinnamon seems like a misnomer to me. Perhaps some phrasing which doesn't describe 'a bit fancy' as 'simple' might better serve the purpose. Maybe just skip the descriptor and let the image speak for itself, eh?
