Talk:Movement paradox

message: I have removed the following:
A more striking example of a movement paradox can be found in English morphology:
: *I aren't allowed to do that
: Aren't I allowed to do that?
In a transformational analysis, the question is formed by the movement of aren't to the front of the sentence, which does not explain why aren't is acceptable (in some dialects) as a contraction of am not only after movement. The problem may be alleviated if one assumes that morphological processes apply after movement, but this raises a further problem:
: *Am not I allowed to do that?
If morphological processes applied after movement then the sentence above would presumably be the one from which "Aren't I allowed to do that" would derive,  but it is clearly ungrammatical.
Since "aren't/amn't/ain't I" is a sui generis anomaly, I don't see the value of using it to illustrate a general point. jnestorius(talk) 20:33, 14 March 2010 (UTC)

:JAAS is a Java implementation of PAM.  PAM provides low-level authentication functions and wouldn't be used on the protocol level like SASL, although some SASL libraries (Cyrus) use PAM for the underlying authentication.  ElBenevolente 00:47, 18 May 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Numbat

message: "The deliberate release of the European Red Fox in the 19th century, however, wiped out the entire Numbat populations in Victoria, NSW, South Australia, and the Northern Territory, and..."
So do these foxes directly hunt and eat Numbats ? Or do Numbats starve when these foxes grab all the resources first ?
Answer: The red fox eats the numbats. It is believed that numbats are most vulnerable to foxes in habitats where there aren't many logs for them to hide in (ie deserts). The foxes are able to dig them out of burrows but it's harder for them to get to numbats that can shelter in logs.
This species is apparently going to be trial released in the Arid Recovery reserve in Roxby Downs, sometime this year (2005). --SydBoy 11:14, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Spitting Image

message: In the original broadcast series this episode (7:4) created many thousands of complaints and even an official representation/complaint from the Canadian government.
The big issue (not necessarily the only one) was a sketch called 'Canadian Club' - that was a satirical take on the taking of seal pups for their fur.
The sketch was broadcast, the episode was broadcast, there was a huge public and political reaction - but Wikipedia has no reference to this 'are you the nice clubbing man' sketch.

Talk:Salviniales

message: Some of the current phylogenetic research seems to indicate that inclusion of Order Marsileales in the same subclass with the Schizeaceae could be problematic. According to Pryer and Smith, a subclass Schizaeatae that includes the heterosporous ferns and the Schizeaceae could very well be paraphyletic or polyphyletic. They write that "Although the tree ferns, the heterosporous ferns, and the schizaeoid  ferns are each well supported clades, their interrelationships (and those of all basal families) remain unresolved." (http://tolweb.org/tree?group=leptosporangiate_ferns&contgroup=Filicopsida)
Perhaps it is better not to assign Marsileales to subclass Schizeatae if it is not well supported.Tom Radulovich 02:04, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I understand.  The big rbg sequencing indicated this relationship, plus traditional analyses of relationships based on morphology seemed to indicate a relationship between the schizaeoid ferns and the Marsileaceae. jaknouse 02:37, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: In "Fern Phylogeny based on rbcL Nucleotide Sequences" (American Fern Journal 85(4) 134-181 (1995) Hasebe et. al. write that "9) tree ferns of the Cytheaceae, Metaxyaceae, and Dicksoniaceae form a monophyletic group that emerged early in the diversification of the leptosporangiate ferns; 10) Plagiogyriaceae and Loxomataceae emerge with the tree ferns; 11) heterosporous water ferns form a monophyletic group that diverged prior to the tree ferns; 12) Schizaeaceae, Cheiropleuriaceae, Dipteridaceae, Gleicheniaceae, Matoniaceae, and Hymenophyllaceae are basal to the heterosporous aquatic ferns" (Page 135) and that "The heterosporous ferns are more closely related to the most derived leptosporangiate ferns (including the tree fern group) than they are to the Schizaeaceae. Azollaceae, Salviniaceae, and Marsiliaceae form as strongly supported, monophyletic group." (Page 157). If this is so, then it seems that the Cytheatae is supported as a subclass (including the Cytheaceae, Metaxyaceae, and Dicksoniaceae, and perhaps the Plagiogyriaceae and Loxomataceae), as is a subclass of heterosporous ferns, but that a monophyletic clade which includes both the Schizaeaceae and the heterosporous ferns is not supported by the rbcL sequencing.Tom Radulovich 07:49, 18 May 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps I misremembered or misread that article.  Anyway, I have no problem with removing the Schizaeatae thing.

Talk:Watzmann

message: The following content had been inserted as an in-line "citation" in the article's lede.  It is not a citation.  
The Watzmann is frequently referred to as Germany's second highest respectively fourth highest mountain. There are several other peaks in Germany ranking before Watzmann. At least two of these peaks are regarded as independent mountains. They feature a topographic prominence that signifies them as peaks having a major stature (Zugspitze, Hochwanner). There is a good deal of discussion regarding the rank order of German mountains, generally revolving around the question "When is a peak called a mountain?". The general consensus is that the Watzmann is not Germany's second highest peak and not its second highest mountain. The Watzmann Mittelspitze is, however, the highest mountain standing at its full extent on German territory.
Regardless of whether the information it contains is accurate the "facts" stated require a citation from a reputable published source, not simply statement by a Wikipedia editor as true.
