thread_title:  Unclimbed? 

message: The islands seem to be almost along the same line as a transform fault to the northwest. That, and the fact that the most recent (and it seems the only) known eruptions happened on an island near the middle of the group, instead at one end or the other, seems to indicate that the island might not be the result of a mantle plume. Plus, the Global Volcanism Program's entries on the volcanoes says that their tectonic setting is a rift zone. ZFT (talk) 21:40, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Some hotspots occur along rift zones (e.g. Iceland) where eruptions can take place at volcanoes in no recognizable order. All of the Balleny Islands may have had volcanic activity in recorded history; Young Island has active fumaroles, Buckle Island had an eruption in 1899 and Sturge Island may have had an eruption in 2001. The Balleny Islands are also poorly studied due to their remote location. With that being said, it's possible eruptions may have occurred under the ice caps of Young and Sturge islands without being noticed; none of the Balleny Islands are monitored.

Talk:Brown Peak (Sturge Island)

message: According to recently released TanDEM-X data with a resolution of three arc seconds (about 90 metres), the highest point of Sturge island is located at S 67:22:18 E 164:44:54 and is much higher than reported here or anywhere else. The highest cell is 2117m above the earth's ellipsoid, but the highest point is higher and should be adjusterd upwards by 48 metres to take into account that the local geoid (sea level) is 48 metres below the ellipsoid. I estimate the height above sea level at 2180 metres. Viewfinder (talk) 17:53, 24 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:List of time travel works of fiction

message: My addition of TNG to this list was reverted, and I can see why. I personally think it DOES belong on this list, but I do not plan to start an edit war. While there isn't much of a continuous plot in the show, one of the only ongoing conflicts in the show is against "Q" a near-omnipotent being who causes mischief, transporting the main characters through time in at least one episode in nearly every season. If there is a plot to TNG as a whole, most would agree that it is Q's test of whether humanity deserves to be a space-traveling species, and frequently uses time travel to do so. 
Cassie Schebel, almost a savant. <3 (talk) 15:58, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think there's several TNG episodes (I haven't seen Picard) in which Q places the crew in scenarios representative of different time periods. I'm less certain of episodes in which there's actual time travel (as in, the crew have the ability to influence past or future events). I also think it's overly-broad to call TNG on the whole a 'time travel work of fiction'. It would more accurately, IMO, be called a 'work of fiction featuring time travel' (in some episodes), but if my work with categories is any indication, we should focus on items where the work is about time travel (or where time travel is a strong element). Time travel is a major point in several TNG episodes, but the series as a whole isn't about that. Arguably you'd have more success with ENT, which had an entire Temporal Cold War plotline.

text: The Welsh and English language pronunciations are different. As noted above by Ti, "English speakers tend to pronounce the name as it is written, however Welsh speakers give the first syllable more of an 'oh' sound and the w is also made a part of the first syllable." Native Welsh speakers never pronounce the first syllable as in "cow" and the accent falls firmly and roundly on the Pow- part. This needs to be made clear in the article but I admit I'm not much good with the IPA so don't know if the  given above is correct.

One of three items might be called research; the other two might be the results of research.  I was going to copy-edit it, but I'm not really sure what to do with it, and what is meant in places.
"Researches in Preveza"
There are available three researches about Kostas Karyotakis, accomplished in Preveza. 
* First of them is the television Documentary film of Freddie Germanos in 1981 performed by the Greek State Television ERT. In this research is available the interview of old shepherd Taxiarchis Nitsas, who saved Kostas Karyotakis in the Mytikas Beach and also the interview of his house owner Penelope Lygouri. Penelope was a young girl in 1928 and said "Mister Kostas had three French costumes and no books at home. After his death I found some papers, but I didn't know that was poems, so I throwed them as litter".Freddie Germanos: "Kostas Karyotakis in Preveza", ERT TV Documentary Film, 1981 
* The second research in Preveza about Kostas Karyotakis is work of Dr. Harry Gouvas from 1990–2009, which contains 3 interviews of persons who knew Kostas Karyotakis, in his book "History of Preveza Prefecture". Harry Gouvas's office is today in the same building where Kostas Karyotakis was working.Harry Gouvas:"History of Preveza Prefecture", edition 2009,  
* The third recearch in Preveza belongs to cinema director Tassos Psaras, who made the TV serial "Kostas Karyotakis" during year 2009.Tassos Psaras: "Research about Kostas Karyotakis", Speech in Kyani Akti cinema, Preveza, 21 July 2009

It is true that the Thesaurus Linguae Graecae text of Athenaeus says this, but that is because the TLG text is copied from the edition by Kaibel. As already explained in the article (and footnoted), all recent editions of Athenaeus have this text, based on the emendation by Korais. But the manuscript doesn't have it.
