Talk:Alaska Zoo

message: Twice a link to Maggie the Elephant has been added, & now twice removed because no such article exists. However, turns out that a stub article Maggie the elephant -- was created a few days ago.  I'm going to change it to a redirect page to this article, seeing as it provides less info than this present article provides, & is not sourced & unencyclopedically written to boot. I will add further details about Maggie's current status hopefully today. (The Alaska Zoo Board has finally decided she should be moved.) Possibly later, after that info is expanded, it can be moved back to the Maggie the elephant page with briefer info about her here. --Yksin 17:43, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Is it true that the zoo has only 100 aninals? This seems rather few for 25 acres... 217.111.34.154 (talk) 08:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I asked the same, wrote the zoo, and got no answer. The cited article says literally "more than 100 birds and mammals", not "species." It would be helpful if someone in Alaska could sort this out. Donlammers (talk) 10:29, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

text: I note that someone has corrected this to 120 animals of 50 species. The 120 animals still points to the original citation, so I changed it back to 100. The 50 species is not cited. I am going to go aheat and add it to the infobox anyway. Donlammers (talk) 10:32, 11 May 2010 (UTC)

text: Sorry, infobox already contained a ref. I didn't touch it (though I did find other things to fix). At this time, we have 50 species in the text, 35 in the infobox, and 41 species actually listed in the article (but not in alphabetical order). I don't have time right now to try to reconcile this.

message: The In popular culture section has been tagged since March for cleanup, but that has not been done, so I have moved it here rather than removing it completely. It can sometimes be difficult to judge when information is indiscriminate per MOS:CULTURALREFS (and as mocked in this cartoon), and when it is encyclopaedic and useful. The best way to judge if information is worthwhile is when an independent reliable source mentions it, particularly as part of an explanatory discussion of the topic rather than as part of a trivia list. If the reference is in an article on another topic (such as the Muppets) then the more appropriate place for such information would likely to be in an article on that topic.

Talk:Federalism/Archive 1

message: I think a part on the distribution of power and the purpose of federalism would be especially useful at this point in history. Also, didn't Franklin invent federalism? That'd be some nice background too.
: No, the theological use of the word was common well before Benjamin Franklin. See my note below. -- Chris 18:15, 31 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Purpose of federalism 

message: The Federalism page should be a disambiguation page because there are various quite distinct meanings.  The primary meaning is a group or body of members that are governed by a representative head.  That representative head can be a monarch (in theology), or the consensus of the federal assembly (in politics).  In theology "federalism" is a synonym for Covenant Theology.  It is a commonly used term in serious theological treatises since the 17th century (yes, prior to the political use) and to this very day, particularly among Reformed thinkers.  Federalism describes the relationship between Adam and those born of the flesh (i.e. all mankind), and likewise between Christ and those subsequently born of the Spirit (i.e. all regenerate mankind), which is most clearly described in Romans 5:12-21.  I will make the addition to the current article. -- Chris 18:11, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

message: I originally split the Appropriate technology article into two, but I now want to revert that. I separated the concepts to avoid potential edit wars over what constitutes appropriate technology - however, a better solution would be to add something along these lines, to make clear exactly what the article is about: 
:It is sometimes argued that "appropriate technology" for a technologically advanced society may mean a more expensive, complex technology requiring expert maintenance. However, the term "Appropriate technology" is generally used to mean appropriate technology for developing countries, or for other settings where low cost and low maintenance requirements are of prime importance. This is the meaning intended in this article.
If no one objects, I'd like to do the merge and start working on the article (and related categories) in a week or so. Apologies for the stuffing around. --Singkong2005 03:27, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I'd suggest such a merge is premature. This has the whiff of the Son of Sam although I see that has been merged with the David Berkowitz entry so that might be a precedent to support a merging. Anyway as there is a missing accomplice and she can only be linked with 30-60 murders there is plenty of room for other candidates to emerge especially with her links to the Saint Death cult. If her defence lawyer has any sense they'd certainly suggest some wider conspiracy. It is almost inevitable that some of these crimes will be from copycats or more than one killer getting lumped together although it is doubtful if this issue will be fully resolved one way or the other.

When the subject is out of focus, the upper and lower half of the image within the circle don't line up; one is shifted left, the other right. What is this device called? How do they work? —BenFrantzDale 01:44, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: That's called a split-image rangefinder (called a split prism in the focusing screen article).  It works by showing you the image through the left side of the lens on top, and the right side of the lens on the bottom (or vice versa).

message: The disambiguation page for focusing leads here (in the case of optics).  This page describes focus as a noun: a point where light is directed by a lens or mirror.
