I have conflicting nomenclature for the trees found from Costa Rica to Surinam: Helicostylis sp. the books I've seen say Cannabaceae- but now searching web says Moraceae-I do know that several specie have that "effect" =:o) Also, of

message: I volunteer to add IPA phonemic transcriptions of Cannabaceae to this article. Since I cannot find Cannabaceae in any dictionary, can I instead reference sources such as EmmaSaying's video "How to Say Cannabaceae" and PrairieLandscapes' video "Cannabaceae" to justify my phonemic transcriptions? Please let me know if you have any objection to this approach.

replies: text: YouTube is not a reliable source, as per WP:UGC. And, as has been discussed multiple times at WP:PLANTS, there is little point in giving pronunciations of scientific names, since these differ widely – even "wildly" – even among biologists in the same institution.

Talk:Seawolf-class submarine

message: According to the MIT article previously cited [1], the reactor has a thermal output of 220MW and a shaft power output of 57000shp. However, an article from Global Security [2] states that the S6W has a thermal output of 270MW and a shaft power output of 52000shp. Currently, I’ve continued to use the figures from the MIT article while adding the Global Security article’s information on the steam turbines. Nevertheless, I would like some input on how to reconcile these two conflicting sources. Thanks!

message: There is something wrong in this statement, at least in the context of the article. Cold someone clarify in more detail in mind? Also, if these operations are different (which I strongly doubt) then both should be described.
<< Some software distinguishes the Union from a different operator, Merge, which does the union in such a way that the surfaces inside the merged region are not rendered. This would be desirable in cases where the objects are transparent, and the union should be treated as a single solid object. In particular, the POV-Ray graphics package implements this concept. >>

Talk:Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel

message: I'm somewhat concerned that the National Portrait Gallery baldly classifies this Thomas Howard as "Thomas Howard, 14th Earl of Arundel, 4th Earl of Surrey and 1st Earl of Norfolk (1585-1646)" - and I presume that the usage of the NPG is the one accepted in England. I know that there are variations, especially historically, but would it not be best if we followed the usage that is most common in such venues as the National Portrait Gallery?

thread_title: On numbering

message: I've merged in the much longer article for Thomas Howard, 2nd Earl of Arundel and Surrey (the earldom of Arundel gets numbered differently by different historians). There was only one inconsistency between the 2 articles (besides numbering the earldom). One gives his birthdate as July 7, 1592, the other as 1586. I've gone with the latter, which is the date given in the Dictionary of National Biography. It's also consistent with the fact that his father was imprisoned in the Tower of London in 1585 and remained there until his death.
- nice, but you know what they say about his mother..... (actually I think conjugal visits were allowed)

thread_title:  Mary Anne Howard 

message: In this version I've expanded the biography based on the 1911 EB. Because of the staccato nature of their account of his court career, I've presented that as a bulleted list, which is not particularly satisfactory. Also:
* EB says "In 1625 he was made lord-lieutenant of Sussex and in 1635 of Surrey" but may be confusing him with his son. I don't know of any sources that clarify.
* EB says "In 1638 he supported the king's exactions from the vintners," which while it tantalizing makes it sound like the king refused to pay his wine bill, I don't know what it means.

Talk:Mora (mythology)

message: I would also to mention that the Slavic word "mora" also has another meaning. In some parts of ex-Yugoslavia (mostly Bosnia and Serbia-Montenegro), people also believed in "more". More (pr. moh-reh) were said to be visions that afflicted people when they were between the "san" world and the "yava" world. These mora would appear as real people (mostly men) and would attempt to kill -either by choking or some form of suffication- the victim while they lay in bed. Of course, these visions weren't real, they were more likely products of sleep depravation or some form of sleep paralysis. According to some Serbian people I talked to, if you manage to grab your moru(e) (well if you're not paralysed with fear that is) you will see what or WHO is tormenting you in the yava (concious) world!         
  
This interpretation is purely based on word-of-mouth school of citation. That is, it does not come from any of the following: text, journal, book, encyclopedia, etc.... It is not copyrighted work. It is simply an opinion and a belief that many Serbian and some Bosnian people share. I talked to a lot of people about this since while there, I experienced a mora myself!

message: Copied with specific permission from . silsor 04:22, Jan 4, 2004 (UTC)
It seems like a name of one of the three worlds of Triglav, Nav, which is, indeed, the world  of the dead. The Slavic mythology says that Svarog separated Yav, the materail or living world, from Nav, the world of the dead, when he fought Zmey (the big snake). 
So can it be just a general name for a spirit of a perished/dead person, rather than the specific name for the particular spirit?
Another question. If Nav appears in Yav, does it mean that Prav has gotten corrupt in some way? How to restore Prav then?
