Talk:Hemichordate

message: I think this article needs a lot of help- I am not a biologist, and hemichordates are not really my area of interest as an amateur- but I thought it had been reasonably well established with molecular data that hemichordates are monophyletic, and sister to echinodermata as ambulacraria, and that the main taxonomic controversy remaining was whether pterobranchia is really a sister group to enteropneusta, or whether enteropneusta is paraphyletic.  Any biologists wish to comment.
Except that marine worm is far more general, and pterobranch is more specific. Please be careful with this stuff! --Josh Grosse
:I'm just copying over what was in metazoa. I plan on checking out all the facts later - and in the meantime have placed each one of these on my watchlist. Pardon the mess. :) --maveric149

message: I added a citation needed template to the claim "A hollow neural tube exists among some species (at least in early life), probably a primitive trait they share with the common ancestor of chordata and the rest of the deuterostomes". Which species? I know very little about hemichordates. enteropneusts have a neurocord, but it seems that "Although comparative data are scanty, it seems likely that the neurocord is a unique attribute of Enteropneusta and is unlikely to be homologous with the chordate neural tube" (doi:10.1139/Z04-158). The same ref states that echinoderms may have have a neural tube homoplasy. Cmungall (talk) 07:11, 28 June 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Backgammon

message: I suspect that the description of the rules will be unintelligible to anyone who doesn't already know the game.  For example, it states that:  " The points form a continuous track in the shape of a horseshoe, and are numbered from 1 to 24."  Huh?  The illustrations of actual backgammon boards, and other images online, don't show anything of the kind. The article includes a diagram showing a 'horseshoe' track, with numbers placed against the 'points', but the source for this is not stated, and the 'horseshoe' seems to be a complete invention. 2A00:23C8:7907:4B01:F85A:2758:922A:5E96 (talk) 15:03, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Keratin

message: On the Mongoloid page, we say currently 
 
This is referenced to Pre-History of the Indo-Malaysian Archipelago., a 1985 book by Peter Bellwood.  But on this page we say
Am I correct to believe that this sentence does not apply to white people because white people do not have keratin in their skin? This would seem to imply that unlike all other people, and indeed unlike all other mammals, humans of European ancestry such as myself have skin that is extremely delicate and permeable, comparable to that of a frog, through which water and pathogens pass unimpeded.  
Am I reading this right?
Am I missing something very important? 
Although this claim is on the Mongoloid page, I bring this up here because it's the claim about white people that I find puzzling, not what it says about Asians.  Further down the same page, we say 
Given the similarity of the two words, is it possible that Bellwood also meant   carotene   instead of keratin?  This would make more sense to me.  I assume Bellwood's text is top-notch, but he was writing about cave paintings and flint tools ... he may have simply made a silly mistake that escaped both his own eyes and those of his publishers.  Are authoritative texts authoritative even for claims that are out of their field?   
On the other hand, yet another quote from the Mongoloid page states
 and the full paper is available online   here (Loomis 1967).  Loomis' description makes it clear that he really is talking about keratin and not carotene.  Apparently both are yellowish pigments.  He cites Carleton Coon's studies in the 1930s.  However, Loomis never states that European skin lacks keratin; only that Asians have more of it than others.  Does this mean that Bellwood was close but not quite right? There's a lot of difference between low amounts of keratin and none at all.  I think that once we can figure out what's really going on, it should be corrected in the Mongoloid article and also repeated here.
Thanks,

thread_title:  Phrase needs copy edit? 

message: I'm sorry to say that this article contains a number of errors. The Moulin Rouge was always an entertainment venue, a "legitimate nightclub". It was opened in the year of the Paris Exhibition in recognition of the fact that the city had become a truly international tourist attraction. It showcased the cancan, because that's what the tourists coming to Paris expected to see, but the cancan had existed as entertainment for decades. It was never a "respectable" dance - the working-class dancers were having a good time, daring each other to be more and more outrageous (both men and women). Their dance-floor antics were disapproved of by respectable society, and on a number of occasions the gendarmerie intervened when the cancan was danced. The dancers at the Moulin Rouge were not courtesans - the age of the courtesan dancer came to end with the end of the Second Empire in 1870-71 - but were in fact well-paid professional dancers. La Goulue, one of the most famous and subject of Toulouse-Lautrec's paintings and lithographs, earned enough money in the time she was there to "retire" and open her own entertainment business (it failed, but that's another story). The Tavern of Hell was a different nightclub in Montmartre, not at the Moulin Rouge, where the waiters all dressed as devils. There was another that simulated heaven, where the waiters dressed as angels.  In fact the nightclub Moulin Rouge was named after the old Moulin Rouge, one of the windmills which used to be in the Montmartre to grind wheat, etc.71.130.152.15 (talk) 21:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Not really. "Planet X" is a term used to describe any hypothetical object beyond Neptune whose existence is inferred through gravitational interaction. Right now there are at least two different "Planet X"-es being discussed in scientific literature, and no one knows whether either of them exist or not. If either of them were to be found, it wouldn't be Planet X anymore, but another Planet X might show up to replace it. So it's probably better thinking of Planet X as a concept, rather than as a planet.Serendipodous 08:16, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

message: I think this is either perfectly ambiguous and/or wrong: "1 km2 denotes 1 km × 1 km = 106 m2, not 103 m2"; I think it should be written more like "3 km2 denotes 3 (km × km) = 3 × 106 m2, not 3 × 103 m2" (and also not 9 of anything).  An an example of "1×1" is ambiguous, and if you change the 1 to something else, say 3, I think you'll agree that it is erroneous to claim that 3 km2 should be equal to 3 km × 3 km which would be 9×106 m2.  I would request that someone more expert or confident than me update this example to at least be less ambiguous if not more correct.  We are simply trying to convey that "prefixing" binds more tightly than exponentiation (which of course binds more tightly than multiplication).  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.135.146.241 (talk) 19:16, 16 October 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Redundant 

message: made a sweeping-change edit , with an edit summary stating "I have added some customary lores, added some on the history of folk, added references for further reading and lastly paraphrased some." But this added no new sources at all, just two "External links" entries (one an organization homepage, the other a reading list; neither them are usable in the article as sources of any kind); removed a lot of sources and material cited to them; removed numerous citations while curiously leaving material reliant upon them alone otherwise; added a large number of claims and new lists (misformatted as blocks of one-line paragraphs) based on those claims, without any sources for any of it; and drastically changed the nature of several sections.  The only kinda-constructive thing I can see in any of that was removing the unnecessarily detailed paragraph about Ireland in particular, which really doesn't belong in this article. Many of the new claims do not appear to be  on a cursory examination, but this is an encyclopedia, not someone's blog, and they don't get to just write what's on their mind without backing it up, much less also get to do violence to well-cited material already present.
If someone doesn't beat me to it, I'm of a mind to revert this completely, unless someone has good reasons not to (e.g. evidence that the removed sources were faulty) and is prepared to properly source everything added in the new version, and defend (one by one) the sourced statements that were deleted.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  23:06, 13 November 2023 (UTC)
