thread_title: Location

message: The map of India highlighting the State of Mysore (1956) is very incorrect given that Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, and Uttarakhand hadn't been separated from Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Uttar Pradesh, respectively, and still formed a part of those States.
Therefore, I would like someone to rectify that senseless mistake.

Talk:Boomslang

message: Just one thing to explain: I removed "many" from the sentence: "[...] deeply grooved fangs that are (like in many other venomous colubrids) located in the rear of the jaw." All the venomous colubrids have fangs in the rear of the jaw. AFAIK there are no proteroglypha of solenoglypha among colubrids. "Many" suggests that there can be venomous colubrids with other type of fangs. Of course there are many (most in fact) non-venomous colubrids. Jasra 23:21, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Some species, like Ahaetulla sp. are not exactly rear-fanged, others have no directed method and are aglyphous... but with or without the word "many", it conveys the point. :) -Dawson 23:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

message: "Their diet includes chameleons, arboreal lizards, frogs, and occasionally small mammals, birds and eggs from nesting birds which they swallow whole, without prior strangling."
This sentence doesn't sound right - "prior strangling" isn't the right term as they don't strangle, but rather crush or asphyxiate, and it doesn't apply to eggs anyway, where it would be simply be crushing, but I'm stumped as to how it ought to be phrased...
:"without employing constriction" should be adequate to make it sound more encyclopedic and explain the term via wikilink. -Dawson 15:35, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Anacreon (poet)

message: I removed the following translation from the main article page because it is not a work by Anacreon but is instead from a collection of anonymous imitators from a manuscript known as the Anacreonteia.  I have substituted another translation (also in the public domain) in its place.
A Poem
The Wounded Cupid. Song
Cupid as he lay among
Roses, by a Bee was stung.
Whereupon in anger flying
To his Mother, said thus crying;
Help! O help! your Boy's a dying.
And why, my pretty Lad, said she?
Then blubbering, replied he,
A winged Snake has bitten me
Which Country people call a Bee.
At which she smil'd; then with her hairs
And kisses drying up his tears:
Alas! said she, my Wag! if this
Such a pernicious torment is:
Come, tell me then, how great's the smart
Of those, thou woundest with thy Dart!
Translated from the Greek by Robert Herrick (1591-1674).

message: There is a neat summary:
One nat corresponds to about 1.44 bits \left (\tfrac{1}{\ln 2}\right ), or 0.434 bans \left (\tfrac{1}{\ln 10}\right ).
But I am still having trouble counting and converting to Nat.
What are the digit (Natit) symbols?
How many are there?
does 1(nat) = e(decimal)
What is 2(nat)?
help me count to e^3 in nat.
Thanks!--Lbeaumont (talk) 13:53, 18 February 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You can count in base e if you want, but you lose some properties of normal bases which you might expect. The biggest one is that there is no canonical representation of a number. To answer your questions: If I remember correctly, sequences of {0,1,2} are sufficient to represent any number base e. 1 is equal to 1 in decimal (1 times e^0), 2 is equal to 2 in decimal. e^3 could be written as 1000.--2003:69:CD03:4301:2E81:58FF:FEFF:8F4B (talk) 21:52, 13 August 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: It's "natural" in the same sense as the "natural logarithm" is natural, that base 'e' is the "natural base".

message: The sentence "In 1975 Sikkim joined the union of India through a referendum receiving a 97%-majority election vote, thus ending his rule", is Indian propaganda.

message: This article reads:
:Shortly after Namgyal's marriage, his father died and he was crowned the new Chogyal on an astrologically favourable date in 1965. In 1975, the Prime Minister of Sikkim appealed to the Indian Parliament for Sikkim to become a state of India.
In other words, it skips directly from the Chogyal's coronation to the beginning of his being deposed.  There is nothing at all about his reign (the most important part of almost any monarch's biography), which lasted ten years.  In light of the previous comment, I have to wonder if this glaring omission is intentional. --Piledhigheranddeeper (talk) 14:01, 31 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Shravasti

message: Hi. I see this:
"Savatthi was located on the banks of the river Aciravati (now called the Rapti river). It was the capital city of the kingdom of Kosala, and its king was called Pasenadi, who was a disciple of Buddha. It is a beautiful city with vast amounts of agriculture and diversity. Buddhaghosa says[1] that, in the Buddha's day, there were fifty seven thousand families in Savatthi, and that it was the chief city in the country of Kasi Kosala, which was three hundred leagues in extent and had eighty thousand villages. He stated the population of Sávatthi to have been 180 million.[2] The road from Rajagaha to Savatthi passed through Vesali, and the Parayanavagga[3] gives as the resting places between the two cities: Setavya, Kapilavatthu, Kusinara, Pava and Bhoganagara. Further on, there was a road running southwards from Savatthi through Saketa to Kosambi. Between Saketa and Savatthi was located Toranavatthu.[4]"
The figures and numbers cited seem wildly implausible from a historical/archaeological/scientific point of view (there aren't even any cities today that have a population of 180m!). Is there any serious archaeological, etc. research that would give a more realistic view of the history of this area? I notice that this is treated as though it is historical. There isn't even a qualifier like that it's mythic, or similar, any expression of any skepticism. But the pumped-up numbers just don't ring true. mike4ty4 (talk) 02:31, 10 July 2013 (UTC)

“Illinois Nature Preserve”, on the other hand, is a status that can be given to natural areas of the highest quality, which need not be IDNR property (i.e, some are part of county-level forest preserve districts, some are owned by NGOs, etc.).
