Category talk:Association football clubs by year of establishment

message: Seriously, why would anyone need to view all clubs established in the same year. This category goes against the guidelines. A category must provide useful and meaningful grouping of information. Rimmeraj 21:06, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Why? 

message: The football clubs established in a given year could be listed on the appropriate year in football (soccer) page and this list would not break the Wikipedia guidlines. However, using the categories is to be prefered for several reasons, not least because the source data is contained on each club's page where any errors are much more likely to be spotted and corrected.

message: The article for football (soccer) is now called Association football, and seems to be the agreed term to use. the (soccer) implies that football is a form of soccer, which is not really the case. Anybody think the categories should be changed to "Association football clubs by year of establishment".

Talk:Laryngeal paralysis

message: * alternative surgeries like debark when the dog is not a candidate for the more invasive tieback, and different combinations of these two operations
* sedatives and cortisones - while not a cure, they can still be of  help when waiting to get to a surgery and are often prescribed
* vitamins and other supplements used to help the nervous system
* as hind-end weakness seems to be so common in LP dogs, it should probably be added to where it talks about neuropathies etc. Not sure if there's any evidence to back this up, though - just the collective experience among caretakers.
* post-op care (with tieback, expect at least 24 hours at the hospital plus several weeks of restricted activity and careful feeding)
* some surgeons forbid certain types of food and swimming, but many dogs can eat anything after the recovery period and go back to all old activities
* quality of life after surgery usually improves greatly
* a drawing of the laryngeal area and maybe also a post-op photo of the surgical site

The usual Wikipedia policy seems to be not to link to discussion groups, but the best source for LP information online is the Yahoo group for LP dog owners. It's not only a discussion forum, there are many documents and scientific papers posted in the group's files, and there is a huge database of LP dogs with information about surgical outcomes and other related notions. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/LP/
Also, if anyone could find another reference to replace the "Laryngeal paralysis in dogs and horses" article, that would be great. A lot of the information in it is outdated, wrong and/or downright dangerous if pet owners make decisions based on it, so it would be best to remove it.

I made an article because it was a company I knew I'd read about, but I have had trouble finding what I originally read in print. Aside from my own interest in sticking to NPOV as an editor, I also don't want it to come off like an ad because I think the company gets plenty of hype already because people want to seem "cool" and "diverse" and "open-minded," so even the products that aren't that great get a lot of buzz because they're different from the U.S. mainstream and are marketed cleverly. --Lawikitejana 21:15, 22 November 2006 (UTC)

Surely the Federal Reserve notes carrying the signature of a Treasury Secretary in office for less than a month would be worth a small fortune, many thought.

Talk:Jean Picard

message: Picard did not develop right ascension coordinates:  According to Wikipedia's own article on right ascension, right ascension was used by Hipparchus (c. 190 - c. 120 BC).  What Picard did was to use very accurate pendulum clocks that had been developed by Dutch physicist Christiaan Huygens to time the transit of a celestial object through the (Paris) meridian, which allowed him to determine very accurately its right ascension.  See:  
(1) http://books.google.com/books?id=P5qICQuiGo8C&pg=PA57&lpg=PA57&dq=%22right+ascension%22+meridian+Picard&source=bl&ots=96j2AxzCN5&sig=mGfCKzme7cfF-B0pMKVsiglLPOg&hl=en&ei=P9fPSvzIKszM8Qab2ejvAw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=5&ved=0CBgQ6AEwBDgK  ;

(3) the first page of this pdf file:  http://syrte.obspm.fr/journees2005/s1_17_Debarbat.pdf  ; and

message: Added to lead (with three original cites, retained in article body): 
In 2016 and again in 2019, JD Sports was profiled in British media amid allegations of mistreatment of its UK warehouse staff.
The lead is supposed to summarize important content from the article body. This rule is most often neglected, in my experience, with personal or corporation "biography" pages where the original author elected to put a single definitional paragraph in the lead, and then structure the rest of the article chronologically. 
That's a fine way to obtain initial coverage of a subject matter, but over the long run, this isn't the preferred structure. 
If there are other subject matters that also deserve summary in the lead, these should also be added. Any balance problem with the lead should first be resolved by bulking the lead out until it achieves a full topic summary. Then, if it still seems out of balance, perhaps some less important material can be cut. — MaxEnt 00:52, 1 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Rock Mass Rating system

message: The opening paragraph should be one or two lines saying what the RMR is and what it is used for.  Is it used for determining how much reinforcement to use?  That seems to be be implied further down, but it's not completely clear that that's the case.  Either way, what else, if anything, is it used for?
Bieniawski is at the moment the main focus.  His creating the system should either be moved down and given his own paragraph, only be reworded so that he is mentioned in passing rather than being the whole of the lead sentance.
The relationship between RMR and 'Geomechanics Classification' needs to be made clear.  Are they the same thing, or does one feed into the other, or what?
Most of the gramma and speeling errors have been fixed (thanks Ideogram) but there are still bits that need to be put into the encyclopedic voice (eg "is used" instead of "we can use" and so on).
The stuff about fuzzy logic is bordering on speculation, as written.  If this has been done, we should talk about that.  If it hasn't, then it's OR.
So this is a good start, but there's still more to be done.
Lastly, the German page has some weblinks that might be useful to look at and/or reference.

message: What did the Aros call their confederacy in their own language? I assume that Igbo was the "language of state" in this instance.

In the Ashanti Empire, the real name of the state was Asanteman (Asante Union).
