Talk:Lao (Italian river)

message: * Removed the text about the Gulf of Policastro, can't find a reference for it and not really important anyway. Mentioning the Tyrrhenian Sea is more informative.
* Write that Laüs was located near the river, close to the coast. I've invested a lot of time in looking for more info on Laüs and figured out that the ruins simply haven't been found. If I'm wrong I'd be very interested in a source to prove it.
* Don't mention provinces, regions are adequate. That's how I see it's done in other articles for rivers. Mentioning a place, province and region makes sentences too long.
* The Argentino can be seen on Google Maps (albeit without a name), but I can't find the other tributaries which are mentioned in the Italian article.
* The Italian Wikipedia article claims the mouth is located in the territory of Scalea, if you click with the right mouse button on the river's mouth in Bing Maps it also says Scalea.
* The Italian article has more info, but without references, so I didn't translate everything. --AlexanderVanLoon (talk) 22:35, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

message: acording to   John Stuart Mill
"The propounder of a new truth, according to this doctrine, should stand, as stood, in the legislation of the Locrians, the proposer of a new law, with a halter round his neck, to be instantly tightened if the public assembly did not, on hearing his reasons, then and there adopt his proposition." 
Could this be documented if true and included?

message: "It was because of this that Gunn was chosen for the Ashes tour of 1901/1902 when Rhodes refused to go - apparently because he feared it would affect his performance." I'm not sure enough to make the change, but wasn't it his Yorkshire captain Lord Hawke who refused Rhodes permission to tour, because he was afraid that it might make him fatigued the following English summer?

Talk:Scylletium

message: I am confused by the list of alternative names for this place listed in the note. The note lists the names Scolacium, Scylacium, Scolatium, Scyllaceum, Scalacium, Scylaeium, Minervium, and Colonia Minervia for alternative Latin names as well as two Greek names. The note references the 'notes' for Map 46 of the Barrington Atlas of the Greek and Roman World. However, I only see "Scylletium/Scolacium" listed on the map itself and those two names as well as "Scylaeium" listed in the Map-By-Map Directory (Volume I, page 700). This would presumably be the 'notes' alluded to. Since only a few of the names are listed in the Barrington sources I have seen, where are the other alternative names listed?-Schnurrbart (talk) 19:18, 8 July 2018 (UTC)

message: Would it be appropriate to have Idrias and Chrysaoris redirect here?

There are a couple pages that already point to those blank pages instead of here, but I'm pretty new and I'm not sure if it's better to add the redirects or change the page links (or, both, I guess)  JQ East (talk) 15:09, 9 October 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirects? 

message: The article currently mentions that "Like many other non-Greek cities on the 425 BC assessment Idrias is never recorded actually paying any tribute to Athens[3] and was never a member of the Delian League." I am not an expert on the subject, but as an enthusiast on the Delian League I have been looking at the cited source (The Athenian Tribute Lists by B.D. Meritt). In the assessment of 454/3 the name "Εδριης" is included in the Karian tribute (Volume III, p. 22). Could this be a reference to Idrias? If it cannot be excluded that this is a possible reference to Idrias, I would propose to rephrase the current text as follows: "Like many other Greek and hellenized cities in Asia Minor, Idrias is likely to have paid tribute to Athens[3] and to have been a member of the Delian League." In any case I would be personally very interested to hear an expert view on this.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.64.172.16 (talk) 07:18, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

message: I find this article dubious as per the historian Peter Štih, the County of Gorizia formed gradually from the 13th century and only achieved its final form in the 16th century. The article does not reflect that.
* The Counts of Gorizia were elevated to the rank of state princes in 1365.
* In the 14th century they became independent from Friuli.
* In the 16th century, the land County of Gorizia took on its full form.
Source: Goriški grofje in oblikovanje pokrajine ob Soči in na Krasu v deželo
Much is said about the estates of the Counts of Gorizia and their lineage, but not about the county itself.
I've therefore tagged the article with  and .
There are some other interesting citations:
:"It is also clear that the Counts of Gorizia, who have borne this title since their appearance on the Soča, are not named after a county called Gorizia, because this county did not exist at that time and the territory was part of the County of Friuli and firmly in the hands of the Counts of Friuli - the Patriarchs of Aquileia. The Counts of Gorizia were named after the count rights they had in the Upper Carinthia, where they originated from."
:"The first and last sum-up of all the Gorizian estates under one name is the designation comitatus et dominium Goricie at the time of the division of 1271."

message: I was surprised to see the paragraphs on respiration in this article.  That's OK, I'm allowed to be and might quite often be surprised.  But, it almost seems like respiration has been snuck into the article, in two respects.  
First, in the paragraph after point #2 that seems to start off being about gain in general ("Loop gain is an engineering term used to quantify the gain of a system controlled by feedback loops."), and then, without much warning, starts talking about respiration.
Second, if it's going to talk about gain in respiration, it should make it more clear that the discussion about respiration is only one example of the use of gain, and there are many other possible examples.
Third ;-) , imho, it's a very non-traditional example of the use  (or application, or whatever) of gain.  Maybe the non-traditional example is good, but then maybe at least equal weight should be given to a more traditional example.
I'm going to make an attempt at modifying the article based on my comments above.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rhkramer (talk • contribs) 13:08, 23 May 2011 (UTC)
