Talk:Neogastropoda

message: Neogastropoda is recognized, accepted, as an Order in both WoRMS  and the ITIS Report , both checked May 18, 2013. So to be current as of at least May, 2013, Neogastropoda should be presented as a taxonomic order, not left as an unranked clade. The automatic taxobox is obsolete. J.H.McDonnell (talk) 12:40, 18 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: The Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005) recognizes the Neogastropoda as a clade. Even if WoRMS still classifies the Neogastropoda as an unassigned order, when you look in WoRMS in the section classification under Littorinimorpha, you can read : Tree of Life (based on Ponder & Lindberg, 1997 and on Strong, 2003) may be more realistic in using only Neogastropoda as a clade. Here WoRMS contradicts itself. Therefore we better stick to the Taxonomy of the Gastropoda (Bouchet & Rocroi, 2005). --JoJan (talk) 19:15, 18 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Hi. The image which goes with this article  Nucella.jpeg  was apparently accidentally "flipped" by the original author, such that all of the snails shown now look as if they are left-handed rather than right-handed. That makes it misleading information.  Could someone flip it back the other way so we can use it? If not we may not be able to use it at all. Thanks. Invertzoo 01:28, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Orthogastropoda

message: Did I just make Apogastropoda for nothing? What's the difference between that Apogastropoda and Orthogastropoda?
Should Apogastropoda be listed as a subclass of Gastropoda? Gastropoda articles claims only four subclasses . Are there five or more? I know nothing about this. I just made the Apogastropoda article because there was high demand for it.
Wikispecies redirects Apogastropoda to Orthogastropoda. Are they the same??? Please advise.

Talk:Undisputed championship (boxing)

message: The proliferation of sanctioning bodies in the sport has made it virtually impossible for a boxer to become a true Undisputed Champion, as it would be necessary for a fighter to literally hold over a dozen titles simultaneously (those of the IBF, WBA and WBC, joined by titles recognized by the WBO, International Boxing Association, International Boxing Council, International Boxing Organization, World Boxing Federation, World Boxing Empire, and World Boxing Union; as well as "fringe" groups such as the National Boxing Association, the International Boxing Union, the Global Boxing Union and others). As a result, the term has become a misnomer of sorts — the Undisputed Champion is in fact, not undisputed, but is the boxer generally recognized as the best in his division. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ed Poor (talk • contribs) 17:42, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Copyright problem removed 

message: I'm a biologist who studies these snails, and I do not think that the image is Penion cuvierianus from New Zealand. It instead looks like the species P. maximus from Australia. The colouration is typical for the latter species, and the axial ribs on the shell are more regular, and the protoconch has broken off, which is more common in P. maximus because the protoconch is very small compared to that of P. cuvierianus. The locality informaiton is also doubtful, as only extant P. cuvierianus jeakingsi can be found on the Kapiti Coast (rarely), and these look very different to this shell. A quickly internet image search can demonstrate this.
Second issue - the name of the species is P. cuvierianus, not P. cuvieranus.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.123.96.22 (talk) 22:33, 5 July 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Newton Free Library

message: Congratulations to whoever wrote and submitted this page!  Good idea.
I'd like to offer a comment and a suggestion:  
In the "Architectural Features" section, under "Quick Facts," I found it confusing, initially, when my eye was drawn to the link for "Victorian Gothic" architecture.  It took about 3 re-reads before I realized that no-one was trying to describe the current library's style as Victorian Gothic!  I'm not sure how the confusion could be minimized -- maybe by changing the formatting of "Original building" to make it more prominent?  The problem was that my eye skipped right over that line and went directly from "Architectural Features" to the link.
The suggestion/request is that someone add information about the fate of the original building.  I believe it was torn down, but I'm actually not sure.  And a photo of it, if one is available, would be a nice addition as well.
Thanks for your work!

replies: text: I don't know the exact date the West Newton Branch closed, but I do know that it was closed on my last visit to Massachusetts which was in October 1985. I was very disappointed because in 1945 when I was 5 years old, it was the very first library I ever visited. I was able to print my name which was the only thing I needed to do to get my own library card. Whether my parents or an older brother took me or whether Miss Monroe, my kindergarten teacher, walked her class the few blocks down Chestnut Street from the old Peirce School I can't remember. I do know that, while I grew up in a home full of books, this visit to the children's library in the basement of the West Newton Branch was my first contact with the world of libraries and I was hooked. I remember the solemn quiet and dignity of the place where people only spoke in hushed voices. One set of books that I particularly remember was the orange covered Bobbs Merrill set of biographies of famous people for young readers. I'm sure I read every single one they had. It's a real shame that Newton now has no more branch libraries. The Florida county I live in now has only 20,000 more people than Newton (100,000 to 80,000) but it has one big main library with 5 branches, so that each population center in the county has its own local library.  clariosophic (talk) 19:41, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
