Talk:Incubator (culture)

message: I changed the name of the article from "Incubator (laboratory device)" to "Incubator (culture)". It is not a perfect name, and if you object to the move, please let me know on my talk page, and I will move it back. I thought that the former name was both too long and imprecise. It indicated that the device was used in laboratories, but it did not give any indication of what it is for. Also, incubators for microbial cultures and cell cultures might be the most common laboratory incubators, but they are not the only incubators used in laboratories. For example, incubators for reptile or bird eggs could be found in some laboratories. The thing I dislike most about the new name, Incubator (culture), is that culture has multiple meanings. I suppose it could be mistaken for some kind of sociological phenomenon. I like the names "Incubator (microbiology)", "Incubator (microbial)" and "Microbial incubator" better than the current name. However, the article includes incubators used for cell cultures, not just microbial cultures. I hope that the new name is not too confusing. Again, please use my talk page to get my attention, as I will not be watching this page. Also, my presence on Wikipedia is erratic, and it might take a little while for me to get back to you. -- Kjkolb (talk) 02:53, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with most of what you said. Maybe Incubator (cell biology) would be a good solution, as this encompasses both microbiology and cell culture? However, it disregards tissue culture, but maybe there is no ideal solution. On the other hand, Incubator (culture) is fine too imho, the only problem it that it's not an obviously biology-related title. -- Shinryuu (talk) 09:08, 16 September 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Very good point. In the article on Fe Del Mundo, it only says that she "devised an incubator made out of bamboo", and in the incubator article, there is no source for that claim, so I removed it. --Shinryuu (talk) 19:53, 22 February 2012 (UTC)

I've compared this list to the Detroit Tigers players category (and checked all the discrepancies), but that doesn't clear out the red-linked guys, nor does it clear out players who are incorrectly categorized. --Fabrictramp 14:39, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

message: None of the novels of the series rise to the notability of having their own articles? This seems unlikely. And even this article on the series is lacking most of the encyclopedic information articles on books or a series have. This is my favorite Piers Anthony, and I'd had the impression it was his second most popular/successful series. I take it I was mistaken...but there's no "reception" section in the article to clear things up for me. I'm going to expand the article, maybe make separate articles for the first few books...but I really could use some help. --Kaz (talk) 23:05, 2 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Lamberton, Scottish Borders

message: There needs to be some redirections to this page set up. "Lamberton, Borders, Scotland" is too long and clumsy to incorporate into text. Probably the simplest (and correct) designation should be "Lamberton, Berwickshire". David Lauder 10:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: 2007

message: I'm sorry, but I dispute the accuracy and completeness of the history stated in this article, especially as it only goes back to the year 1200.
The township of Lamberton was already a settlement around 890-900AD, with its original settlers arriving from the former Empire of the Franks; specifically, from the tri-border region of Belgium, France and Germany.  They were the followers of Bishop Lambert of Maastricht i.e. St Lambert (patron saint of marriage) who was murdered and subsequent made a martyr after he denounced the infidelity of the Prince.  They fled persecution after  the Prince's illegitimate son gained the throne, and settle in Berwickshire, with the town's original name "Lambert's Toun" or "Lambert Toun" (which was a homage to St Lambert, whom they venerated), becoming "Lamberton" (when anglicised) by the 12th century and from which they took what was to be their surname.
Furthermore, the town / Barony of Lamberton was recognised by King Edgar of Scotland in a Royal Charter dated 1096 (one of the oldest surviving charters of the early kings of Scotland).  The original baron was not a Lindsay (as stated elsewhere in Wikipedia); the Lindsay's were originally an English family who only rose to prominence in Scotland around 1150 after William, a son of the Walter de Lindsay from the Barony of Lindsay in Anglia, married into and inherited the Barony of Crawford in South Lanarkshire, an later extended their estates into Mid and East Lothian.
I gained this knowledge while researching the history of William de Lamberton, Bishop of St Andrews (who has originally from Lamberton, not Coldstream as noted elsewhere) at the National Library and Nation Archive of Scotland for his role he played in supporting Scotland's independence in the late 13th and early 14th century.  The article should therefore be updated.

Talk:Highlander: The Element of Fire

message: Although I have recommended that all of the book articles be merged with the Highlander: The Series article, an alternative option could be to create a separate article that covers the entire set of books. It could possibly also include the new audio books.

message: Không phải sử dụng ngôn ngữ của các bạn khi nói tiếng Anh là thể hiện sự yêu nước. Nó chỉ làm cho mọi thứ trở nên khó hiểu. After all, even Ho Chi Minh left off his diacritics when he wrote in English, as you can see here. As far as GBooks goes, I searched for post-1980 English-language books on this subject. Only 2 looked relevant for “Hồ dynasty." That's out of nearly 100 deghosted books for “Ho dynasty.” But I suspect that this is less about GBooks than about throwing as many non-English elements into articles as possible.

replies: text: Other encyclopedias don't use Vietnamese diacritics either. See Britannica, Columbia, Encarta, or Encyclopedia of Modern Asia. It's not about faster typing; It's about making it easier for the readers. But why they drop the diacritics isn't the point. The purpose of a title is to tell readers what the subject is called in real world English. To the give the name in Vietnamese misleads readers as to what actual usage is. As for Baomoi and Gov.vn, both of those are outlets for VGP News. VGP stopped publishing diacritics at least six month ago, as you can see here. On VTR, some articles use diacritics, others don't.
