Talk:Mentha × gracilis

message: The assertion that "In Britain, it is used as the traditional flavouring of Scotchmint candies" seems doubtful. The term "candies" would not be used but I've never heard the term term "Scotchmint sweets" used either. The sweets that are most similar to American Scotchmints are, I believe, what would be termed pan drops or mint imperials abut, as far as I'm aware, they use peppermint. Mutt Lunker (talk) 23:12, 10 March 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: if you follow the reference given, you first get to here, which says "Ginger mint is a main ingredient in Scotch Mint candies from England (4)." This doesn't support the wording used in the article since there's nothing about "traditional" nor "in Britain". The "4" leads to a dead link, but is archived here. It says nothing about England, and anyway it's a blog, not a reliable source. So I will revise the statement in the article. Peter coxhead (talk) 07:09, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Mentha sachalinensis

message: The first version of this article, of 1 July 2007, said (incorrectly) "Mentha sachalinensis is known by the common name of garden mint". That statement remained until 19 June 2017, nearly ten years. The Mentha article also contained this error for the same 10 year period.
Prior to 1 July 2007 no books (at least as indexed by Google) contained this error. After that date, several books contained the error. Among them:
* An Experimental Text Book on Phytochemical Analysis and Antimicrobial Activity of Mentha Piperita, Onlinegatha, 20 May 2016
* Florida's Best Herbs and Spices: Native and Exotic Plants Grown for Scent and Flavor, Pineapple Press Inc, 2010
* Textbook of field crops, PHI Learning Pvt. Ltd., 1 May 2015
* Molecular Targets and Therapeutic Uses of Spices: Modern Uses for Ancient Medicine, World Scientific, 2009
* Allotment Gardening For Dummies, John Wiley & Sons, 5 Mar 2010

Talk:Le Mariage de Loti

message: I would ask future editor who is considering adding new section titles/breaks to please justify why it's needed. I make this point because whenever there are more than 2 or 3 paragraphs someone swoops in and adds a section breaks - for no seeming reason other than they can, or they don't visually like blocks of plain text that take more than 1 minute to read. Section breaks are a 2-sided coin they can actually disjoint a work and make it choppy and without focus. They are not needed here unless this article is expanded on. -- 71.191.47.120 17:05, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Some resources 

message: I'm working on a few updates for the page. I took out the links to the organization's twitter and facebook websites, as that is not typical practice for Wikipedia and it's easily found through the website. I also took out some very general categories (like ethics) that didn't really add to the understanding of this article. I added a new category of animal welfare organizations. 
I noticed that the first paragraph seems to cut the org out of animal welfare but that just isn't so. Even the first activity, of providing low cost spaying and neutering for cats and dogs, concerns itself with animal welfare. I also noticed this comment about the founder: "Gary Francione writes that Herrington was one of the earliest members of the modern animal rights movement to recognize the difference between campaigning for rights and welfare.Francione, Gary L. Rain Without Thunder. Temple University Press, 1996; this edition 2005, p. 11." I'm going to edit this out because it doesn't relate so much to the work of the org as to the founder's opinion. 
The description of the Wildlife Law Program has a bit too much opinion: "Animal activists often fail to fully utilize the array of local, state, federal and international environmental laws as a means to protect the rights of animals to live free from human interference.  Environmental activists often utilize these laws, but do so to achieve broad environmental objectives that may not always protect the rights of free-living animals. The mission of the Wildlife Law Project is to utilize the law for a singular purpose: to ensure the right of all wildlife to live in an ecosystem free from human manipulation, exploitation, or abuse. Friends of Animals, http://friendsofanimals.org/programs/free-living-animals-their-environment/wildlife-law-program." I'm going to trim it down and talk about some projects they have worked on. 
It is now an international organization with some global influence, so I will add that.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Canadianknowledgelover (talk • contribs) 05:34, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

Mr. Wright's district is on the opposite side of the city from the light rail line. Arguably, his constituents were more concerned with the fact that the City fought them in court over the "Bay Oaks Park" issue. Wright's constituents were upset that the city fought them in court over the need for a park versus the need to tear down century-old trees for development land when plenty of vacant lots already existed.
