message: The sentence beginning with  "Russian Jews in America and Israel often use the Novogodnyaya Yolka..." seems to imply to me that Russian immigrants of other religion have dropped this practice while the Russian Jews have continued it.

thread_title:  Russian Jews 

message: The article says: "There is an urban myth that Soviet authorities banned the Christmas tree and reinstated it as the Новогодняя ёлка (Novogodnyaya yolka, "New-year fir-tree") in 1935. In fact, there is no historical evidence or written record to support the revised history perspective.", yet there are no references for that
While the other article on Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Year_tree) gives evidence for that, not only in text, but also with a picture of soviet newspaper.

Only after seeing http://www.jic.ac.uk/microscopy/more/images/5_1.gif, did I understand how a dark field microscope works. The major problem with the current illustration is that it's upside down. But even if it were rightside up, the www.jic.ac.uk image is far superior. Also, the text mentions "patch stop (see figure)", but the illustration has no such label or feature. Also, the text mentions "direct illumination block (see figure)", but the illustration has no such label or feature. MarkFilipak (talk) 00:57, 15 July 2014 (UTC)

message: I disagree with this edit by Graham Beards. Whether the diagram is upside-down is less important than whether it clearly illustrates how dark field microscopy works. The 3D image does not do that as well as the 2D ray diagram. Srleffler (talk) 22:02, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Nzinga Mbemba

message: This page has been incorrectly redirected from Afonso I of Kongo and the king in question has been incorrectly named. His name was Mvemba a Nzinga or Mvemba Nzinga in modern Kikongo orthography. Older sources named him Mobemba aNzinga (as attested in 1545 in the chronicle of Damião de Goes). These spellings, along with those in the detailed accounts of Mateus Cardoso in his letter of 1624, reflect the pronounciation of Kikongo in the seventeenth century when the second vowel of class 1 nouns (Mu-) was still pronounced, and when the original Kikongo b had not yet differentiated into b and bh (nasalized). These changes which took place in the late seventeenth century are reflected in modern orthographies of Kikongo.
This entry needs to be renamed to reflect the correct form of the king's name.
:: I don't know enough about it to be an authority on anything. I just edited the page cause I took a history class and was forced to look up a ton of stuff about Mvemba. Many many of the sources I found wrote Nzinga Mbemba, and I assumed that "Mvemba a Nzinga" was some kinda latinized name ("Mvemba of Nzinga"). So go ahead and rewrite it or move it (make sure to take this discussion along with it), try to provide sources too. Fresheneesz 22:45, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Corneal reflex

message: I've started gathering information to add to and improve the article, but there seem to be inconsistencies. Numerous sources use the terms "corneal reflex" and "blink reflex" freely to describe the reflex in which the eyelids close as a result of corneal stimulation. However, other sources actually differentiate between the blink reflex and the corneal reflex, the latter being the result of corneal stimulation, and the first one being the result of stimulation of the supraorbital region. Links here, here and here.
I'm not sure if we should create a new article named "Blink reflex", or specifically point out the differences concerning both terms on the corneal reflex page. It is clear though, that something needs to be done as the blink reflex generally points to something other than the corneal reflex (and judging from the number of sources that do not mention the "actual" blink reflex, it is not widely known). Perhaps the sources I read are wrong and the "blink reflex" is already known under another name,i.e Bulbocavernosus Reflex. Suggestions are very welcome. Marcus 15:26, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I've removed the 'Errors' section, since while Robin did remove part of the trail, he only did so within a brief run of the surrounding area, and as such their location is easily within ready reach of a horse. Hardly damning. As for the anachronism, that alone is not sufficient to maintain a whole 'Errors' section, its probably worth a footnote at best, providing sufficient other errata can be divined. 
Additionally, this kind of 'trivia' is covered by Wikimedia policy, as the site is not a trivia bin.

Talk:British Broadcasting Company/Archive 1

message: I am a little surprised that the history of a company that lasted for little more than four years should start off with such a heavy emphasis on constitutional affairs, and one which -- to this staunch anti-monarchist, and no kind of enthusiast for the British constitution, let me say! -- has a strong whiff of American nationalist piety about it.
How to explain that the British public-service broadcasting model was followed in many, many other countries around the world -- almost all of them with written constitutions proclaiming the sovereignty of the people? 
In any case, the big difference between the US commercial and the UK public models truly came into being with the creation of the British Broadcasting Corporation on 1 January 1927. Reflections about the politico-philosophical differences in the American and European approaches to broadcasting surely, therefore, better belong in the article concerning itself with that corporation rather than in the one dealing with the short-lived British Broadcasting Company -- or, better still, in one or both of the articles on Commercial broadcasting and Public broadcasting. -- Picapica 19:52, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Taking a brisk constitutional 

message: I still don't think this works.
: Unlike the USA, the United Kingdom does not have a written constitution which defines the scope and limitation of governmental powers. This basic difference established the reason for two approaches to broadcasting which have competed with each other since the birth of broadcasting. Because of its War of Independence from Britain, the ties to the system of communication, which had been established by Britain in America, were severed and the new nation began on the premise that the power flowed upwards from the People, whereas in Britain political power flowed down from the Crown Establishment. In the USA a written constitution defined the powers given by the People to the government, whereas in Britain the government had power vested in it by the Crown.
The relevance of the American Revolution seems at best tangential, and the comparison with the system pertaining in an entirely different country seems beside the point. --Tony SidawayTalk 15:50, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

For instance, if they had your address wrong on a bill and called them up or an amount was wrong, they would say that it is a "computer error".

He was once (Dec. 1901) considered for a major's billet in the Army JAG, but I can't find whether he was appointed to the billet. He was still identified as a Second Lieutenant in 1902.  He was identified as selected for Captain in March 1911, but I could not find the actual date of promotion.  He did see service as a Major in the Philippine Scouts from 1909-1911.  However, after he returned to the US, his rank was identified as Captain. His gravestone identifies his final rank as Captain. As well, the notices of his death in various newspapers identify his rank as Captain. It is possible that he received a posthumous promotion, and they applied to his rank when serving in the Philippine Scouts, but I am not familiar with instances where a posthumous promotion would apply.--KMJKWhite (talk) 18:12, 19 March 2016 (UTC)
