message: This article states that Guthrie was one of the "founders" of the Almanac Singers.  Yet he doesn't appear on their first album.  Should a correction or clarification be made?
Is it possible that there is not really a definite beginning to this band?  From the article, it sounds as if many of these folks played together in informal settings in late 1940 and early 1941, and eventually this informal group congealed into the Almanac Singers?  If that's the case, and if Woody was involved in the informal pre-AS stage but not on their first album, then I don't think he can be called a founding member of the band. — Lawrence King (talk) 23:35, 1 October 2012 (UTC)

File talk:Million dollar mystery.jpg

message: I've long been curious to know whether anyone ever actually found the Glad-Lock Million Dollars.  During the movie I saw a poster for a rock star's concert called, "The Bridges", a car was stolen from the Brucke Bros. car lot (Brücke is German for bridge), and once or twice I saw a truck called Ponti Bros. (Ponti being Italian for bridges.)  And I now know that there were supposed to be clues in Glad Lock bags.  Great cast of wild characters.  Though the story doesn't make much sense, we've enjoyed this film several times and have always wondered about that lost million...75.5.242.102 18:39, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

User:hicksw 18:37 15 MAY 2017 (UTC).
:The two other sources you mention are uncited and hence irrelevant. The Wikipedia list distance might usefully be corrected since it ought to at least be consistent with the one given here with a reference. The Kaler distance is simply out of date. The distance in the article is derived (automatically, by the starbox template) from the Hipparcos parallax. As discussed in Puebla et al (2015), this value does give a substantially higher distance than most previous estimates, but it is the one they adopt and use in their analysis. This difference is mentioned briefly in the article. Maybe the Hipparcos distance will turn out to be wrong, maybe the older distances will turn out to be wrong, or maybe both, who knows. For now, we just quote the "most reliable" references we can get our hands on. Lithopsian (talk) 19:22, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Charlestown Bridge

message: Across the width of the bridge, there are three sections that appear to be able to carry traffic, which appear to be two lanes wide each.  Yesterday evening, the middle section was closed off.  Was the bridge constructed with the intent that there would be two northbound car lanes, two southbound car lanes, and two lanes of streetcar tracks?  Or is this an intentional extra two lanes so that part of the bridge can be closed for maintenance?  Or is the bridge configured for four lanes in the busy direction during rush hour?
(It should be noted that there is also a sidewalk on each side.  The east side sidewalk is currently an open metal grid; you can look down and see the river under the grid.)  JNW2 19:10, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Ashness Bridge is certainly one of the most photographed bridges in Britain so the quotation from Hinchliffe's book might refer to that, rather than to the Watendlath packhorse bridge, however Ashness bridge is a road bridge, not a packhorse bridge (although it may have originally been a packhorse bridge that was widened for vehicles).

thread_title:  Corpus striatum of the basal ganglia? 

message: Does anyone have a reference for the assertion of "90% of the neurons within the corpus striatum of the basal ganglia"? I've been trying to check this up for a couple of days. The numbers differ for different species - over 95% in rats and mice, and 75-80% in primates (e.g. Chapter 1, of Tepper J.M., Abercrombie E.D. and Bolam J.P. (eds), GABA and the Basal Ganglia: From Molecules to Systems, Progress in Brain Research Vol 160, Elsevier B.V., 2007. I've also seen "These GABAergic (GABA is γ-aminobutyric acid) cells are the most populous neuronal cell type of the striatum (90–95% in rats and over 85% in humans)" in Kelly C.M., Dunnett S.B. and Rosser A.E., Medium spiny neurons for transplantation in Huntington’s disease, Biochem. Soc. Trans. (2009) 37, 323–328; doi:10.1042/BST0370323. But nowhere have I seen a value of 90% or over for humans. 
Perhaps it would be an idea to split off the values for different species and give citations for each? 
I'm also going to make this comment on the Talk: Striatum page, where the figure is given as 96% - apologies for the multiple post, but these numbers really need the attention of an expert in the field - which I am not.
