message: Weylandt was wearing a helmet made by Bontrager, model Oracle, as all professional road cyclists have been obliged to do since 5 May 2003 when a UCI rule was introduced.  Shall this be understood as that all professional cyclists are obliged to wear the Bontrager/Oracle helmet?  Or is it only that all are obliged to wear a helmet?  The latter seems more probable, but I might well be wrong.  If I'm right, though, the paragraph should probably be rewritten to clarify.  Fomalhaut76 (talk) 10:41, 11 May 2011 (UTC)

Template talk:South Central Pennsylvania sports

message: I'd like to know what makes a community college "not a real college".  Considering it's the only college with sports teams inside the city of Harrisburg, I think that makes it notable.  --myselfalso 20:28, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: However, community colleges are recognized by state governments, and do receive state funding.  HACC was founded  combining Hershey Junior College into the Harrisburg campus of the college in 1964.  There is a community college conference for Eastern Pennsylvania.  While using NAIA as a reason why CCs shouldn't be included is valid; calling CCs "not actually colleges" is factually incorrect.  HACC, for example, is accredited by the Middle_States#Commission_on_Higher_Education.  --myselfalso 20:53, 2 July 2007 (UTC)

According to all websites I have found and the page New Zealand National Time Trial Championships, they started in 1995. It could've been an error placing it in 1985 or someone has some earlier results. Until a time which that edit is sourced i have left it as a comment in the article.

Talk:Barbary striped grass mouse

message: This page is a taxonomic mess. The article should be about the Barbary Striped Grass Mouse (Lemniscomys barbarus). In the past it included a whole range of subspecies found widely in Africa, but today these are treated as separate species (see genus page) and the Barbary Striped Grass Mouse is a monotypic species restricted Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia (see e.g., MSW3 and IUCN). In summary, virtually everything in this article is outdated (e.g., subspecies list in taxonomic section) or information for the entire genus (including English names "zebra mouse" and "African striped grass mouse"); not specific to the species the article actually is supposed to deal with. Additionally, while both currently used inline citations are dead, it is evident that the World Association of Zoos and Aquariums citation used the up-to-date taxonomy (quote, "11 species"), but the Russel Tofts citation didn't (used as basis for subspecies). 212.10.92.211 (talk) 12:41, 10 December 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Match play

message: Why would Player A play as "scratch" (zero handicap) and Player B would get one stroke off his score on the hardest holes.?
Why in other words, the 10 handicap becomes zero and the 19 handicap becomes nine.
It is, because the meaning of the words of congu were misunderstood!
"Full difference between the handicaps of the players" doesn't mean, that you must subtract the handicap, but the full HC was account.
You play with the full HC in match play - that is the message!!
The worst case is a HC difference of 1. I.e.: Player A has HC 17 and player B HC 18. In this case Player B get a "bank" on the hardest hole but not on the easiest.
You see, the current HC in matchplay is based on a mistake.
"Full difference between the handicaps of the players" is not "The subtraction between the handicaps of the players"

Talk:Cingular Wireless

message: From the lead: Cingular Wireless LLC was the largest United States mobile phone company, with headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia. Cingular, formed in 2001, was a joint venture of the American landline telephone companies AT&T and BellSouth (formerly known as SBC Communications). The two companies held 60% and 40% stakes in Cingular, respectively, based on the value of the assets each company contributed to the venture. Cingular was the second largest mobile phone carrier in the United States. 
So was Cingular the largest or the second largest? It can't be both. -Phoenixrod (talk) 22:01, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: I completely agree with KansasCity. It is very true that Cingular is now 'off the radar' and www.cingular.com (former Cingular wireless website) directs to wireless.att.com (the AT&T Mobility website).

thread_title:  Title 

message: I think interpreting Wallace's "centrifugal governor" metaphor (CGM) as a model for natural selection (NS) generally is a misreading of the full passage in context:
We have also here an acting cause to account for that balance so often observed in nature,—a deficiency in one set of organs always being compensated by an increased development of some others—powerful wings accompanying weak [62] feet, or great velocity making up for the absence of defensive weapons; for it has been shown that all varieties in which an unbalanced deficiency occurred could not long continue their existence. The action of this principle is exactly like that of the centrifugal governor of the steam engine, which checks and corrects any irregularities almost before they become evident; and in like manner no unbalanced deficiency in the animal kingdom can ever reach any conspicuous magnitude, because it would make itself felt at the very first step, by rendering existence difficult and extinction almost sure soon to follow.
He's applying the CGM to a very specific phenomenon--a supposed balance between highly vs deficiently developed--not NS generally.
I googled ["a deficiency in one set of organs always being compensated by an increased development of some others"] and there is virtually no discussion of this 'balance of organ development' hypothesis (BoODH) by Wallace. I think the CGM has been ignored because the BoODH simply not true.
Virtually all of those who reference the CGM part of the passage OMIT the BoODH part. They (including Bateson and CH Smith) misread Wallace as claiming the CGM as applying generally to NS instead of specifically to the BoODH.
This blog post makes the same point--that the CGM applies only to the BoODH, not NS generally: https://www.science20.com/genomicron/blog/frustrating_press_release_or_adaptation_not_random
So the claim in the Wikipedia entry, "In a largely overlooked passage from Wallace's essay, he says of the evolutionary principle" (emphasis added) is incorrect. He is not applying the CGM to the evolutionary principle generally, he is only applying it to the BoODH. Nick (talk) 18:38, 20 June 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Ontario Student Classics Conference

message: I've done a lot of editing on this page, mainly formatting, spelling and adding content. There is still plenty to be done. 
When you really look at it this page doesn't have much going for it. Major formatting is needed especially in the awards sections, as they just look like one huge block of text right now. Also there is almost no information on this page that is even slightly in-depth, not even a discussion of some of the large events like Arch. Dig and Fashion show, that I think would really give some character to the page. 
Considering how fun and exciting the Conference is, this page is very boring. Pictures would help this, though apparently there are absolutely none online. If anyone could do this it would be great. 
Also, we need to make sure that footnotes and quotes are added for sections that are blatantly copied content or are from a particular source.
