Talk:Cholagogue

message: This sentence makes no sense to me-  "The operation is more recommended because the biliary purge, alike the traditional kidney purge, can cause pancreatic problems."  I would correct it but I honestly don't know what it is trying to say. I assume it is quoting the ancient volume used as a ref, which is surely not good.

Talk:Confection of hyacinth

message: This list of ingredients includes "the santals", which originally linked to Santals, a tribe of people indigenous to India.  However, I think it is unlikely that this ancient medicine contained ground-up people!  Based on a reference on page xciv of "The Works of Thomas Sydenham, M.D." (published 1848), I believe "the santals" actually means "the sandalwood varieties" or "red, yellow, and white sandalwood" (see also page ix).  Therefore, I have changed this link to Sandalwood.  Johnson487682 (talk) 14:52, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
Talk:Conservator of the peace

message: Since yesterday I've been thinking about what it would take to salvage the article in its present form. It seems to me that two things are necessary. The first, and I think it's non-negotiable, is that Matthew LeFande has to repost his paper, with the existing permission statement replaced with an explicit Creative Commons CC-BY-SA 3.0 License. Until this is done, I don't think it is permissible to post an adaptation of the paper as a Wikipedia article. Note that CC-BY-SA allows commercial use and further adaptation, but requires that the original be cited and that the adaptation be licensed under the same license. I'm going to try to email LeFande and ask him about this.
The second thing is much easier. Most of the existing content needs to be placed under a subhead like "in Virginia" and appropriately introduced. "An example of a modern-day conservator of the peace is provided by the state of Virginia. Here, the history is as follows" or something. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:06, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: What would it take to salvage this article?

message: Mr. LeFande, if you're reading this, I encourage you to read Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.  I'll quote the most important section here:
We're not trying to "lawyer" here, we're trying to abide by the established licensing policy here at Wikipedia, guided by legal advice from the Wikimedia Foundation.  We cannot use your material either word-for-word or closely paraphrased unless you explicitly grant us permission to use it according to the licenses above -- which will require you to eliminate your "non-commercial" restriction, because all material published on Wikipedia is automatically licensed under those two licenses. —Darkwind (talk) 03:21, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment to Mr. LeFande 

message: I've received a one-sentence reply, "I put that material in the wiki article.  This issue has been previously discussed in the notes." I don't see where it's been previously discussed. I've asked him for clarification, and specifically whether he's willing to republish the material with a CC-BY-SA-3.0 or other Wikipedia-compatible license. If he declines to license the material, or generally declines to discuss the issue, I think I need to revert the article to this old and very sketchy version. I hate to lose the content, but I don't see how copyrighted material licensed only for non-commercial use can be properly included in Wikipedia. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:30, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

Category talk:Melodic death metal musical groups

message: This category was created for musical groups which have either always played melodic death metal or have played melodic death metal throughout a notable portion of their careers.
It is quite misleading to categorize a band as a melodic death metal band when they only played melodic death metal for a brief period in their careers or for only one or two albums, so these kind of bands shouldn't be included in this category. --Leon Sword 03:59, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

message: "Formerly, this term was widely believed to refer to scaphism."
What the heck is that supposed to mean?  It's one thing for a term formerly to refer to something.  "Formerly . . . widely believed" makes it sound like the man on the street commonly confused it, in much the same manner as, oh, 'imply' and 'infer'.  However, I have my doubts that the man on the street is sufficiently learned in the history of torture actively to concern himself with what 'cyphonism' does or may mean!

Talk:Oil of brick

message: That's nice. But this is a modern encyclopedia. This would be adequate if the existence of the obsolete enc entry were notable, and if the translation into modern English were obvious or provided. What are the meanings of these?:
: an earth half-saturated with olive oil
: pounded grossly
("Empyreumatic" means "being or having an odor of burnt organic matter as a result of decomposition at high temperatures". Probably not an encyclopedic topic, so i'm un-lk'g the word.)
I assume that resulting substance is not even a simple mixture of a few compounds, but what chemical characteristics could be predictably expected? Is the process well-defined enuf that the substances produced on different occasions are likely to be similar in any useful way and degree? -- I.e., is this process more than a ritual that makes those who carry it out feel like they've earned some result that they've been told to expect? --Jerzy•t 17:55, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

The article in question is from The Scotsman, dated 04/03/1864. Hopefully someone with more resources could gain access to the source and expand this page.
