Talk:Ethernet cable

message: This currently forwards to Ethernet crossover cable, and I think this can be confusing for someone who is trying to set up a home network for the first time. They may think that crossover cable is the only ethernet cable that exists, or one that they should use.
There is currently no page that describes all the options for ethernet cables, but i think one is needed. I am no expert in this field, but it would be nice for someone who is more of an expert to write one.

Talk:Kori bustard

message: Hi,
I am one of the editors of the BBC Earth website, and was responsible for this story on the largest flying animals: http://www.bbc.com/earth/story/20160506-the-biggest-animals-that-ever-flew-are-long-extinct
We mentioned the kori bustard as having a wingspan of up to 75cm. Several users have since written in to say that they think this is wrong. They all cited the Wikipedia article, which gives much larger estimates of "230 to 275 cm" for males and "177 to 220 cm" for females.
Our original source was http://animaldiversity.org/accounts/Ardeotis_kori/, which is based on the primary scientific literature and is generally authoritative.
When the complaints began we went to an independent expert: Sara Hallager, curator of birds at the National Zoological Park, Smithsonian Institution, who is also the International Studbook keeper for captive-bred kori bustards. Her website is http://www.si.edu/researchstudy/Staffhp/HallagerS.htm. She confirms that our figure is correct.
On this basis I'm convinced that the Wikipedia figure is wrong. It is not referenced on the page and I haven't been able to find a source for it in the scientific literature, so I'm afraid I can't offer any information about where it might have come from.
Best,

replies: text: This is still unclear/unresolved. There should be more than one point of reference for "75cm" wingspan - almost every other source I can find points to it being at least 116 cm. What does the Birds of Botswana book indicate? Reconrabbit 15:45, 5 June 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Very few scientific sources will ever give wingspan which is measured from tip to tip of the outstretched wing - it will vary considerably and is of little scientific use. On the other other hand that 75 cm measure (629-761 mm) is the length of the wing measured from the tip of the bend of the wing to the tip of the longest primary. See Bird measurement.

Talk:Mancallinae

message: Seems the genera should be split off. FunkMonk (talk) 20:01, 2 April 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: There is a total confusion in this article between ICZN (Zoocode) regulated names and phylocode names. Smith (2011, Zookeys) excludes the ICZN including at the species level. His new species are relevant only in a phylocode (not yet an official code) context. There is also a great confusion regarding the name Mancallinae, which is presented as a clade name (implicitely a phylocode name), with L. Miller (1946) as authorship, whereas it is (and of course was for Miller) a Zoocode regulated Subfamily name. It becomes urgent that Wikipedia provides a way in systematic sections, to clearly differentiate Zoocode names from "converted" phylocode uses. Wikipedia is clearly in a general ICZN (and other linnaean codes for botany etc), and it is normal since they are the official and overwhelmingly used systems. So names under other (incompatible) systems such as the Phylocode, at least should now be indicated by a special police or typology. Species names like those introduced by Smith (2011) should not be presented as if they were ICZN valid species names with type species etc. In addition, here Mancallinae should be presented, at least in parallel, as a Subfamily name.Birdy222 (talk) 12:19, 27 May 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Similarly, genera are not recognized by the phylocode, so the genera listed must be ICZN regulated, which is not compatible with the name concepts used by Smith (2011) publication cited.Birdy222 (talk) 14:12, 27 May 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: Ornithological convention.

replies: text: I removed this section again - not because it's a self-reference, which isn't a problem in itself (after all, we have an article on Wikipedia), but because it's not notable. I see no evidence that this phrase is used to criticise Wikipedia outside of that one website, which quite clearly belongs to a non-notable fringe organisation, and thus isn't very suitable as a source. If you can provide evidence that the phrase is used by mainstream groups, or on a broader scale, then it can be restored, but the old section seemed more like a soapbox for one minor group's criticism of Wikipedia than serious encyclopaedic information.
