Talk:Oldfield mouse

message: Just a note that it appears that this species is properly lower case as oldfield mouse. It is consistently lower case in sources and I have been unable to come up with the origin of the name. However, the mice of the South American genus Thomasomys are capitalized as Oldfield mice after zoologist Oldfield Thomas. See discussion at User talk:Plantdrew#Oldfield Thomas.

Talk:Juha Vainio

message: Adding translations for Finnish-language song/album names was suggested in the peer review. I'll try to add some, although some of them are pretty problematic to accurately translate. I wrote "Moustached Bachelors" for "Vanhojapoikia viiksekkäitä" -- bachelor is not completely accurate, but I can't find an English term for a male spinster anywhere... "Kotkan poikii ilman siipii" is also difficult since the title is a wordplay where "kotka" can be understood to mean either the town or the animal (eagle). That will probably need to be clarified in the text instead of just translating one way or the other. Jafeluv (talk) 08:17, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Since it's been expanded I removed the 'stub' designation and upgraded to at least a 'Start'.  Still needed: -- There seems to be a tremendous lack of info available online on his early life in Virgina, particularly his date of birth. Parents names, siblings, etc. would be nice too maybe. Also, his Personal subsection could stand a little help. Did he have children? Where did he die? Where is he buried?  Anyone who can find this out and add the article will be owed a cold cyber-brewski. I came across one photo of James online in which he is seen with a woman and three small girls in a living room setting. It didn't say if it was his wife and daughters or what.

Talk:Jules Van Nuffel

message: Hello fellow Wikipedians,
 
I have just expanded the stub that this was into a full-fledged article; in passing, I also undid 194.64.147.154’s vandalism. 
 
In writing this article, I encountered—for the first time since I became a Wikipedian—the very complex format used by a previous author (or previous authors) in the Sources. I don’t master that format, and use a much simpler one, like the one with which I refer to pages in the Digital Library for Dutch Literature. This leads to inconsistencies in the article as well as in the list of Sources. I regret this, but not to the extent that I feel I should withhold my expansion.
 
I attempted to fill in the missing ISBN number of the first edition of Fellerer 1961, but the result of this attempt was a blind link and a typographical disaster. I invite all of you who can handle the format used to fill in thisnumber; it is 0-8371-21147-7. Polla ta deina (talk) 10:49, 30 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Julia Peterkin

message: >In addition to the controversy over the obscenity claim, there was another problem with Scarlet Sister Mary. Dr. Richard S. Burton, the chairperson of Pulitzer's fiction-literature jury, recommended that the first prize go to the novel Victim and Victor by Dr. John B. Oliver. His nomination was superseded by the School of Journalism's choice of Peterkin's book. Evidently in protest, Burton resigned from the jury.
Even if he was the chairman of the jury, why is Burton's resignation a "problem" with the book?  Perhaps he wasn't against Scarlet Sister Mary as much as he was for Oliver's book, in which case the problem isn't with Peterkin's book, the problem is with Burton and his inability to persuade the jury to vote with him.  Apparently most of the jury was fine with Scarlet Sister Mary winning the prize and surely that more than cancels out anything Burton did.  
I think this section about Burton should be moved to the area where the Pulitzer is mentioned (in this entry and in the one about the book itself); and the "there was another problem with...." phrase removed for some reason.
Also, Wikipedia doesn't use honorifics.  Presumably, Richard S. Burton has some kind of doctoral degree -- that should be put behind his name the first time he is mentioned; thereafter he should be referred to by his last name.  Rissa, copy editor (talk) 04:27, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

message: >Scarlet Sister Mary was called obscene and banned at the public library in Gaffney, South Carolina. 
Is that it?  Surely there must have been religious and civil leaders around the country who called it obscene, yes?  I don't know how big Gaffney was in 1928, but it only has 12,449 people today.  That hardly counts as a significant claim of obscenity.  I think this section should also be removed until more information is available. Rissa, copy editor (talk) 04:35, 11 November 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Silky mouse

message: I can see that this article about the Silky mouse is quite lacking in information. More information about the prevalence of the animal, its evolution, its diet and its predators would be useful. Try to look at other Wikipedia articles about animals and see how other format those articles. Once you know what you need to look for, gathering information shouldn't be so hard. I'm sure we have some books about these mice in the library and worse come to worse, Georgetown and George Washington probably have books on these animals. Good luck!

message: Dave Sittler's column in the 6/19/08 Tulsa World points out that although the public didn't know it at the time, Tiger was actually pretty badly injured (torn ACL) when he won the 2007 PGA.  As Sittler puts it, "So Woods was basically playing on one leg when he won his 13th and 14th majors."  "Tiger's remarkable run began at Southern Hills."  I don't know if it's important enough to add this to the 2007 PGA article or not, but it certainly puts Tiger's win--on a course he'd never handled particularly well before--in an interesting new light, so maybe it is.

message: I may be comming in very late in the discussion, but I wish to add my voice to those who feel that it is important to retain the Konigsberg entry. I am the eye witness source for the information that follows.
In 1969-70, during their brief residence in Montreal, Konigsberg and his exquisitely beautiful wife Patricia gained some cachet as part of the informal anglophone creative arts circle which included Canadian luminaries Irving and Aviva Layton, Leonard Cohen and Mordechi Richtler. Some of Layton's poetry of the time makes indirect reference to the Koenigsbergs. If for no other reason, this scholarly rational should be sufficient for retention.

Talk:Julius Richard Büchi

message: This should be classified as a stub. (I'm at work so I can't spend the time to recall that simple annotation). Buchi is more notable than the few lines in the article would suggest.  For starters, he has a geneology from the Math Genealogy Project.  I know of his work through reactive systems for which he might rightfully be considered the founder of, since he may have been the first to give an automata-theoretic characterization of this class of systems (although I don't think he actually coined the term "reactive systems").  The relation between Buchi Automata and both model checking and temporal logic, most notably through the works of Zohar Manna, Amir Pnueli, Pierre Wolper, and Moshe Vardi should also be noted.  Finally, a Wikipedia article on reactive systems needs to be written, but look first for synonyms for such a system and include the appropriate redirects.  Informally, a reactive system involves a weaker (more inclusive) notion than that for an algorithm in that, unlike algorithms, reactive systems are not designed to terminate, and if they do, then something is wrong.
