Talk:Thioflavin

message: The molecular weight is 318.86 of Thioflavin T (Sigma).
Jitendra
Well, I have a few questions about this compound and its use, maybe writing them here will serve as a book mark for me to come back and answer them, if no one else does first. 
Is Thioflavin T in fact a fluorescent dye? The article discusses the blue shift that is observed upon amyloid binding. Does thsi make the emission appear green? Yellow? Blue? What does unbound dye look like? Are images of dyed amyloids obtained by difference or is the location of the amyloid apparent a stained sample? How long does the stuff stick around in an amyloid aggregate?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Weise (talk • contribs) 22:38, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

message: I am a biophysicist who uses Thioflavin T to study amyloid-forming proteins. The parts of the article dealing with this application of ThT are quite out-of-date. I plan to update this article over the next couple of days with references to recent findings that show how our understanding of this important dye has evolved. Please let me know if you have comments or objections. Ignoramibus (talk) 20:06, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Planned update 

message: The following passage is erroneous: 
"Thioflavin T molecule consists of a benzylamine and a benzothiazole ring connected through a carbon-carbon bond."
I think the author who wrote it meant "consists of a para-N,N-dimethylaniline and a benzothiazole..." N,N-dimethylaniline is completely different from benzyl amine. The former molecular fragment has a condensed structural formula of (CH3)2N-C6H4- (consistent with the structure), but the latter has a condensed formula of H2N-CH2-C6H4-. 45.62.183.154 (talk) 17:41, 9 February 2024 (UTC)

If I broke any rules or guidelines, please let me know what I did wrong so I can fix it, or feel free to fix it yourself (I shouldn't have to tell people this, it's Wikipedia by golly).  I did this initial upload late at night, and I'm a bit tired and my laptop battery is near dead, so I didn't get a whole lot done.  Tomorrow I will add a bunch of details and links and all that good stuff, so please don't delete this.

thread_title:  Runtimes?? 

message: McFly may have had the legal authority to choose Fox's heir, and so Sarah's trick at the end may appear to be a stroke of genius.  However, everyone seems to forget that it's a basic rule of law that a murderer may not inherit from his victim.  Fox's estate is worthless unless it benefits from Lone Star's death, which it cannot do since Fox himself murdered her.  That may or may not be the case in Italian law, but it's certainly the case in American law, and since Mrs Sheridan's estate is in America, no US court would release it to Sarah.  Sorry, but the final twist just won't work.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 176.61.67.237 (talk) 07:38, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Open access (disambiguation)

message: Dear friend Beland, you seem to have confused this a little further, because you've lost access (pun intended) to the principal page on open access in academic publishing, which is appropriately called "Open access"; Open Access publishing is one of the 2 major divisions, and self-archiving the other (or at least thats the names of the 2 long established WP articles on the divisions. I know it isn't logical, but that's the way all the books and articles use it. 
:If you want to do it differently, in order to avoid confusion, I think we'd need consensus of the editors. I can think of two possibilities:
# Rename the page on open access in this sense in general to "Open Access in academic publishing" or Open access (academic publishing)--which I thing will jus tcontinue the problem, or 
# Rename that page to Open access movement. -- which I have not thought of until just now and might be fully satisfactory to everyone involved. 
I am about to propose this on the real open access page, and see if there is consensus. I think there will be, but i would think it very wise to wait for it, and not try shifting the names around without it.
I will restore the other good clarifying edits you made to the page which got reverted.

replies: text: Hi, I can't remember my wiki password, but my name is Chris Gutteridge and I'm lead programmer for the "EPrints" software and have been working for open access since before it was cool. My vote would be to rename the page to "Open Access Movement". Although Open Access is IMO really important, it's an ambigious term on wikipedia as other groups do use it for other things. (eg. the countryside thing). I would suggest the current page becomes disambiguation, but with the prominent link to the movement. Possibly as "Open Access Movement (for open access to scholarly materials) or something. OA covers things like datasets, not just publications. 152.78.69.148 12:19, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Telnarian Histories

message: Not sure how to neutrally phrase this, but the first book at least was fairly widely criticized (among those who read it) because Norman wrote about a high-tech Galactic empire while not seeming to have very well thought-through ideas about its basic technological and organizational foundations (something which would have been necessary in order to present the various manifestations of the empire in the book in a somewhat believable and consistent way).

message: The other main difference from Gor is that the Gor books have certain "fairy-tale" elements (as I've referred to them), such as stabilization serums (immortality potions), the almost complete lack of violence with permanent or fatal effects which affects anyone other than adult males, the technology restrictions of the Priest-Kings etc.  When the the Telnarian series departs from these controlled closed-world aspects of the Gor books, it's mostly for the worse.

Talk:The 13 Clocks

message: On rereading this sentence --
It is a fantasy tale -- written with a unique style of banter — in which a mysterious prince must complete a seemingly impossible task...
-- I decided that "banter" didn't quite cut it; there's not much of what I think of as banter, in the sense of Thurber acknowledging the existence of his readers, and lobbing things at them directly.  James Barrie or Douglas Adams might do that on occasion; Thurber is more subtle -- obviously the references (e.g., to the "wandering minstrel" song in The Mikado), alliteration, puns and wordplay are directed at the reader, in some sense, but direct attention is never called to these literary tricks. -- Dave Greene 18:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

The book has contempoary importance related to the development of what some refer to as the "deep state." A new edition was published by Taylor Francis in 2007 with a helpful introduction by Hugh Miller that would be of great help in rewriting the existing article.

Talk:The Adventure of Charles Augustus Milverton

message: How conclusive is the evidence for Milverton being based on Howell? Other than the name, that is? There is a citation for the paragraph, but I can’t tell from the way it’s placed if it establishing that claim, or the linked reference to his having been involved with Dante Rossetti.
The Wikipedia page on Howell repeats the claim made here, but the article presents his activities more broadly, and gives character descriptions from contemporaries which paint him as everything from a bad lot to a highly entertaining braggart, who might not have been much in the business of blackmail as just being a blagger who wheedled money out of his circle by being persuasive.
