Talk:Trunk (botany)

message: Isn't trunk more a horticultural and gardening term than a botanical one? A main trunk marks the dirrerence between a small tree and a large shrub in gardening practice. Wetman 03:51, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

message: Having come across a confusing puzzle in the Pando article and the Quaking Aspen article, I'm trying to figure something out.  What's the distinction between a trunk and a stem?  Is a trunk a specialized stem, or an entirely different structure?  Geofferic T•C✡ 04:01, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Removed the following section called; "North Battleford Mystery"....
North Battleford is one of a number of locations where eerie sounds, seemingly coming out of the sky, were heard by inhabitants. They occurred in January 2012. A BBC documentary recorded them and describes them as unearthly sounds reminding of trumpets. Their origin is not known and gave rise to several theories, such as an alien origin.
*New information has shown that these sounds were created by the wind blowing through construction pipes making sounds in the same manner as a pipe organ would. This is not notable. -- Kayoty (talk) 16:37, 10 April 2017 (UTC)

Could Hyacinth or someone else explain to me the rationale for these conventions, perhaps giving some examples?  It seems to be concerned with general terminology, not article naming in particular (which is what the page is about, I think?). —LarryGilbert 21:47, 2004 Apr 5 (UTC)
:This is very much a big issue in article content, but is also a current naming issue. MSM, which was about the term "MSM" which refers to people, now redirect to Gay sex the activity, which used to be Same-sex sexual practices, which used to be Homosexual behavior.

:Category:BDSM submissives Wikipedia:Categories_for_deletion/Log/2006_November_24#.5B.5B:Category:BDSM_submissives.5D.5D is currently being discussed for possible deletion because it contains only one article (Bob Flanagan). This drew my attention to several other BDSM-related categories, at least one of which is, well, weirdly populated. Copying some remarks (mine) from the discussion in question: 
It is remarkable that this category is so empty when (I just checked, following a guess) :Category:Dominatrices has 12 entries and :Category:Bondage models has a whopping 76. [Warning, slightly tasteless humor follows.] Just goes to show what the nerdboys writing articles in this subject area are into, I guess. And at a quick look, 100% of the bondage models listed are female. Don't we have any gay nerdboys into leather here at the 'pedia? Practically worthy of WP:CSB.
Anyway, can someone help populate :Category:BDSM submissives rather than delete it? And is anyone writing about male bondage models? - Jmabel | Talk 18:11, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

:It is strongly supposedly, but no evidence. Further information is available at their official site. It combines two notion "education(or humanities)" and "capital(or city) ". But we must remark Todai is not only one educational faculty in this ward at that time, though the most significant.

Talk:Lexus RX Hybrid

message: Does the 400 designation mean anything, or is Toyota just estimating that it would deliver the performance of a 4.00 litre engine? -- stewacide
Not sure if you'll see this, as you asked the question a few weeks ago, but yes, the 400 does imply that the RX 400h delivers the performance of a 4.0 liter engine.  It's very common for manufacturers to name their vehicles this way, and very common for the name to not exactly reflect the size of the engine.  Check out the available engines for the BMW 3 series for some more examples of this from another manufacturer.  The cars' names roughly correlate to the engine displacement, but there are some cases where BMW offers two engines with the same displacement but different levels of performance and names them differently.  For example, next year they'll offer the 3 series with a turbocharged 3.0L engine and call it the 335i, selling it alongside their naturally aspirated 3.0L 330i. TomTheHand 18:17, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

message: I propose we change the article title from "Lexus RX 400h" to "Lexus RX Hybrid." Just as the gas RX was changed from the RX 300 to the RX 330 (and later RX 350) when it switched platforms, the next RX hybrid's engine will likely be larger and more powerful, necessitating a change to a new nomenclature such as RX 450h or what have you. I think we should identify the current model as RX 400h, but Lexus' website separates the cars into RX and RX Hybrid instead of RX 350 and RX 400h. It seems logical for Wikipedia to do the same.

message: The hypothesis of an Ainu origin of the toponym Musashi is completely unfounded, and the cited protoform (*mun-sa-hi) is insupportable.

In Ainu, /-h/ followed by an echo vowel (repetition of the previous vowel of the noun stem) is used to create POSSESSED forms (not POSSESSOR forms), e.g. /sapa/ = "head," /sapa-ha/ = "someone's head."
