Talk:Van Ness–UDC station

message: Someone write an entry on the history of the van ness name... any relation to Van Ness St. in San Francisco?
Well, the information currently in the article (that Van Ness is derived from the businesses in the area) is incorrect. The name derives from Van Ness Street NW, which intersects Connecticut Avenue NW a block south of the station entrance. So I'm removing that. The Van Ness that SF and DC streets are named after is probably a revolutionary war hero or some such. 74.73.86.222 02:59, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Union Station (Washington Metro)

message: Is there any particular reason that this article should be separate from Union Station (Washington, D.C.)? --Jfruh 22:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because it's about the metro station, and all the metro stations have their own articles. However, this is one case where I could possibly see an overlap, since it's, well, a train station.. in a train station. Worth discussion at the very least. Schuminweb, what do you think? --Golbez 23:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It just seems to me that this is one big train station (and yes, I've been in it). As it is, the overlap in content between the two is a bit confusing. Union Station (Washington, D.C.) states that the Red Line stops at the station; Union Station (Washington Metro) says that connections to MARC, Amtrak, and VRE are available at the station. Do we want to talk about them as if they're two separate entities? If not, why do we need two articles about what is essentially a single complex? --Jfruh 23:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

text: This article is about the Metro station specifically, which has a fully different history and is operated by a completely different entity than Union Station. Basically, this is the Metro station serving Union Station. Unlike Amtrak, VRE, and MARC, the Metro station is not within Union Station itself. I am all for NOT merging the articles. SchuminWeb (Talk) 15:51, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, then, the text on both pages needs to make it clearer that these are different entities. As it stands, you could look at either page and not realize that the other exists. In particular, the succession box on the Metro station page implies that that MARC, VRE, and Amtrak trains are available at that station. --Jfruh 16:46, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: why not merge?

message: Old discussion, I know, but I think this station should be merged with Washington Union Station. It's already confusing in itself having two Union Station pages about 2 stations that are located at the same spot. Even with disambiguation's.

Talk:Forest Glen station

message: One of these days we're going to figure it out. Forest Glen technically has a center platform, since it is in between the tracks rather than on the outside, but it is less-than-descriptive for the situation. To me, "separate platforms" doesn't quite work, since the first thing to come into my mind was side platforms. Additionally, they're not entirely separate. The trick is determining how to describe the unique station design in only a few words. And therein lies the rub. Any ideas? SchuminWeb (Talk) 09:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Anhydrate

message: I changed  from the Greek word án(h)ydros meaning "water loss" to from the Greek word án(h)ydros meaning "without water".  But I don't speak Greek, have I mis-stated the intent of the original word by substituting the English meaning? RJFJR 01:36, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

message: In my 10 years as a practicing chemist, I've never heard of an anhydrate.  This group of compounds is properly referred to (perhaps counterintuitively, given hydrates are called what they are) as anhydrides.
Their relationship to hydrates is tenuous at best.  e.g. sulfur trioxide is indeed the anhydride of sulfuric acid, and copper(II) sulfate hexahydrate is a hydrated form of copper(II) sulfate, but in the former pair the difference is that the water is covalently bound to the anhydride, whereas in the latter the water is loosely held in the crystal lattice, held in there only by noncovalent interations.  What I'm trying to say is that nobody thinks of sulfuric acid as a hydrate, nor do they think of sodium   hydroxide as the hydrate of sodium oxide, whereas magnesium sulfate decahydrate is indeed thought of as  a hydrate.  Is that clear?
While I'm at it, a chemist would call copper(II) sulfate without any water in there 'anhydrous copper(II) sulfate'.  It's not an anhydride in any sense of the word.  The word ahydride implies that there is a corresponding ionic or covalent compound that has the formula anhydride + water, not one with loosely-bound water.  It's not a suitable example for this article. 66.65.37.68 03:17, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Economy of the Caribbean

message: Reason for creating this.  I'm seeing these little blue tabs show up exclaiming that the Caribbean articles need to be 'conformed' with Wikipedian styles see Anguilla's. There's also a strong bias on the Economy of North America article which basically exclaims you have the Unites States and Canada and then a much "poorer Mexico" and pretty much of the other countries south of there are "poor", to pretty much sum up the region's economy.  But in fact, many of the Caribbean islands rank globally between upper-middle-class to middle-class areas.  Also, the Caribbean just established it's own credit bureau and other things which is going to make future growth better regionally.
I'm also thinking, it may not be a bad-idea just to update the CIA Worldbook info portions in each nation when the new year begins.  I personally am all for preserving the other parts besides the figures, which are able to be updated.
I figure 2005 is almost done, so the new 2006 CIA Worldbook info I believe will be coming out within the next ~90 days or so for the year 2006. CaribDigita 01:52, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

Also, we are thinking of adding a "cyclone/hurricane/typhoon" parameter to , so that we can use for instance  when a disambig page lists several other things under the same name.
