Talk:Glossary of cricket terms

message: A relatively recent slang term in cricket is to "cloth" the ball, for a mistimed lofted shot.

Talk:Ginny Weasley

message: I don't think it's appropriate to apparently casually and systematically describe characters by the proportion that they are witches and wizards.

replies: text: Blood fractions are important to Voldemort's followers, and among others to the Black family with exception of Sirius Black and of Nymphadora Tonk's mother (Andromeda Tonks née Black, sister of Bellatrix and Narcissa). The fact that the Weasleys are full-blood wizards (and, as the Dark Wizards call them, "blood traitors") is mentioned in Order of the Phoenix chapter six, when Harry discovers the Blacks' genealogical tree affixed on the wall, and has Sirius explain it oo him, so it is part of the Harry Potter epos as told in the books. About being offensive, I don't see any offence in calling the Weasleys "full-blooded", Snape "half-blood" (he labeled himself the Half-blood Prince, remember?), and Hermione herself said she was "a Mudblood and proud of it" (Deathly Hallows ch. 24). It's all in the tone: Mudblood becomes an insult in Draco Malfoy's mouth or even in Kreacher's, but they miss their mark because Hermione decides not to take offence. — Tonymec (talk) 19:57, 14 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Thymus

message: This section is grossly false:  "Removal of the thymus in infancy results in often fatal immunodeficiency, because functional T cells have not developed.[2] In older children and adults, which have a functioning lymphatic system with mature T cells also situated in other lymphoid organs, the effect is lesser, and limited to failure to mount immune responses against new antigens."
This is dangerously incorrect since pretty much any major infant heart surgery involves removal of the thymus.  These patients go on to live decades.  There is no evidence whatsoever that these patients suffer "fatal immunodeficiency".

Talk:American values

message: Surely this is a load of cobblers? I didn't think there was any consensus whatsoever as to what constituted 'American values' and if there is no consensus on what they are, or if they even exist then it hardly seems a fit topic for an encyclopedia. Nordic? The link to Nordic contains lots of stuff on socialism and social welfare projects!
While I actually agree that some of the things in the list would seem to characterise one view of America, I would like to add
* A belief that violence, whether by the individual or the state, represents an acceptable solution to problems.
* A belief that food should be served in enourmous portions.
Obviously such  statements would be zipped away as unNPOV immediately but I think they are as valid as some of the things in the list. This indicates the fundamental flaw with this article as it currently stands--all it does is invite "what America means to me" type contributions. 
Still, might be interesting to see where it goes.  Monk Bretton 17:00, 17 May 2004 (UTC)

It's clear that you didn't wrote that there is a *different* manufacturer. My speculation might violate the Wikipedia policy about "no original research".
However do you think it's impossible ?
There are IMO three hypotesis for the clone version :

- fake.
