message: On the ZSL website it states that the arabian oryx sent to Phoenix was part of the first international breeding programme: http://www.zsl.org/info/about-us/zsls-history,129,AR.html. Is this incorrect then, since it has now been removed from this article. Chris_huhtalk 10:36, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, that is incorrect on the ZSL website: somewhat embarrassingly, IMHO, since their own publication (International Zoo Yearbook: vol 4, pp. 63-65) in the same year (1962) has an article detailing pre-existing *formal* international breeding programmes for Père David's Deer and the European Bison dating back many years before that. What context ZSL means by "the first international co-operative breeding programme" on their website timeline is unclear to me, anyhow: if that was just relating to Arabian Oryx, it would have said so more clearly I'd've thought.

message: What is the reason for a separate entry for IX-77? The text for this "article" is in any case lifted from a Navy site, with all its inaccuracies (the ship was not launched as "Vega"...).
Is it the policy of Wikipedia to have a separate entry for each name of the same ship, or a single article per ship that includes the ship's name changes?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andarin (talk • contribs) 17:34, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: It depends, largely upon notability.  For example each ships that serves in the US Navy is considered sufficiently notable to warrant an article.  Since it was only a Navy vessel for 3 years, it seems like perhaps it should be merged with Schooner Etak, and this article would then simply redirect visitors to the other article.  But you'll also notice in some cases, some vessels have more than one article for example, USS Phoenix (CL-46) became the ARA General Belgrano.  Since each title carries with it considerable history, and independent notability, two articles seem to be more useful than just one very long article.  I'll start the process of merging this article into the other.  Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know the other article existed. -- malo (tlk) (cntrbtns) 21:14, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

I think this is unnecessary. I have done this trick hundreds of times and although it is difficult to learn, I have never been injured while doing it.  I highly doubt 34 individuals were killed on one lake while performing a spinning kneeboard maneuver.
: Agreed. It has been removed. If nothing else, it needs to be sourced. The notion that 34 people died on one lake attempting one kneeboard trick seems patently absurd, and without a citation it doesn't belong here. NihilisticMystic 17:58, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Vice-President of the European Commission

message: This is a useful start and a good framework to place names in a historic series. Please note that three European Communities have or had vice-presidents if one includes the Coal and Steel Community High Authority. The colleges have members who are not defined by nationality or political party. The Commissions were to be honest brokers for Europe. The ECSC had one co-opted member. Members were not allowed to take any paying or non-paying job in the sector for three years after they left office. The EEC treaty says that any nationality cannot have more than two members, and that includes Luxembourg. There is nothing about France or Germany having two members. Commission Members have in contrast to bad political practice or abuse to be independent of governments, and by implication political parties. We should firstly define what the treaties say. Secondly say what governments do which is quite often in violation of the treaties. The early members of the Commissions were ordinary, non-political citizens. Jean Monnet, first president of the High Authority never had a party card. Hallstein was a former Law professor, Louis Armand, first president of Euratom was an engineer. The posts of Commission Members are open to all citizens. The treaties define how they should be chosen. Only 2 per cent of the population have party cards but this 2 per cent is now dominating the choice of Commission members, because governments are not choosing the most independent, experienced candidates. There are many European NGOs who have members with practical experience and independence. According to the treaty these should be considered once the governments revert to the principles, letter and spirit of the treaties at the origin of the EU and words of the present Nice Treaty.

message: "The European Commission has a total of six Vice-Presidents. Since the 2009 Lisbon Treaty entered into force, one of these is.."
This phrasing, by the absence of the word 'currently' or any equivalent, clearly implies that the total of six Vice-Presidents is to be considered the normal state of affairs under Lisbon. However, as the table makes clear, during the first two years of the Juncker Commission, there were seven Vice-Presidents. Whatever the explanation for this, it needs to be made clear in the article text. Harfarhs (talk) 12:54, 9 August 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Toyota S engine

message: I removed this block from the intro:
:The S block has been fitted with three different kinds of cylinder heads, the FE, GE and GTE. The majority of the S engines produced are of the FE or GE variety, which are naturally aspirated and tuned by Yamaha Motor Company Ltd.. The only S engine to be fitted the turbocharged GTE cylinder head is the 3S-GTE.
This refers only to the 3S DOHC heads. The designations FE, GE and GTE (among many others) refer to engine configurations, not specifically to the heads. There are vast differences between early and late 3S-GE engines, heads on early 3S-GE engines are much more like those on early 3S-GTE engines than those on BEAMS engines for instance. -- Karldoh 11:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
