message: I may be prejudiced, since I suggested it, but I think this is a potentially very useful tag, and I'm glad to see it implemented. For the description, I might suggest that "group, organization or ensemble" seems a little more clear and general purpose, at least to me.  But I won't insist on it.  Anyway, good show, thanks.  :)  Xtifr tälk 22:33, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

message: The photograph is not of the best quality and may appear a bit reddish due to aging. There seem to be some rather strange image removals by some editors. Knowing the background and provenance of that photograph, I find little chance of the Sri Lankan species turning up in southern India. Shyamal (talk) 16:50, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The strange image removals were due to the fact that the image was actually listed as the wrong species (now corrected). Although the caption did state that the photo was taken in Wynaad, I very much doubt that most people have any idea where it is, or indeed that it was meant to refer to the place of origin given the bare context.

Also, the image is not being used on the red slender loris article as you say.

Talk:Northern pig-tailed macaque

message: I have posted a long comment in the Talk section of the main Macaque genus article, about the renaming of all the macaque species articles to "[Name] Macaque" (e.g. "Barbary Macaque") from their traditionally names (e.g. Barbary Ape).

And then correct this individual species article as necessary — I'm not sure which macaque species may have actually been called "[Name] Macaque" traditionally.

Talk:William Luther Pierce

message: The article states at least twice that Pierce was highly successful academically and that he "skipped" grades. He graduated H.S. spring 1952 (he was born in Sept. 1933), at the age of 18 1/2 (nearly 19), which means that, even without skipping a grade, he would have been one of the oldest in his grade to graduate according to the conventional ages of most high school students. Perhaps he was a "brilliant" student, but this hardly makes him precocious, which the article implies. By contrast, his near-contemporary and ideological/temperametal opposite Philip Roth (who had a few things to say about history, antisemitism, and bigotry, to put it mildly), born March 1933, graduated from Weequahic High School in inner-city Newark, NJ, in 1950, two years before Pierce completed high school and shortly after Roth turned 17, having ACTUALLY skipped a grade during his pre-collegiate years, in spite of being only six months older than Pierce. I would like to know on what basis the article discusses at length Pierce's brilliance and implied academic precocity.Maccb (talk) 23:50, 7 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I zapped the bit about the skipped grade, as I agree the math doesn't add up. The rest of his academic achievements appear to be properly sourced, whatever we may think of his socio-political philosophy, he apparently did manage to earn a doctorate and get hired Los Alamos and Oregon State.

Talk:Jeroboam II

message: It seems from the books I'm reading (i. e., McKenzie's Dictionary of the Bible, New Jerome Biblical Commentary) that it is Albright's—not Thiele's—dates that are accepted for Jeroboam II.  Hence, 786–746 B. C.  But, I'm open to further evidence that Thiele's view is not the dominant oneMwidunn (talk) 08:43, 10 October 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Dates

message: I had to leave this page, and go and an article about Hebrew naming customs, to be able to understand this sentence:
"Under Jeroboam II, HaShem was worshiped at Dan and Beth-el and at other old Israelitish shrines"
It sounds as if the people of Israel at this time are worshipping some non-Jewish god.
Here, the word 'HaShem' apparently means "the name", and is being used to refer to Jehova/God, because among some groups there is a taboo on naming God. But I don't believe such taboos have any bearing on how Wikipedia expresses itself, which is about making accurate information accessible. So I think "HaShem" should be replaced with "Jehova".

Talk:Matusadona National Park

message: Editor Kelgreen recently edited the article changing instances of "Matusadona" to "Matusadonha", and moving the article to "Matusadonha National Park", without discussion.  The problem is that while the Hills are properly spelled with an "h" , the national park is spelled without the "h".  The Zimbabwe Parks and Wildlife Management Authority spells its name without an "h", see here.  A google search of Zimbabwe websites found 1,140 hits without the "h" here and only 116 with the "h" here. Similarly, webwide searches without the limitation to ZW sites, found 45,800 hits without the "h", and only 8,710 with the "h".  The United Nations List of National Parks and Protected Areas for both 1973 and 1990 list it without the "h".  I found no basis, except for the original name of the hills, to suppose that the "official" name of the park is with the "h".

text: It isn't, you know: It's an italic lower case L. This is why I assumed it was meant to represent pounds (as in LSD). If it is meant to be a solidus then why not use one? In any case if used it should be followed by a hyphen as in "5/-" (or, as anonymous says, stick to "s"). The fact that it would have been a significant fine was why it interested me. Mucky Duck 08:38, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

text: Well if it's 5 shillings, a constable would have been charged 8 times as much as a magistrate. If it's 5 pounds, a magistrate would have been charged 2.5 times as much as a constable (100 shillings). The fact that the fine was split suggests it's the latter and steeper fine, but instead of guessing maybe we could find the original act online somewhere to check?
