thread_title: Merge - Incorporating [[Nasa pro racing]]

message: Yikes, a lot of this article seems to be ad copy that's just been copy-pasted directly from the National Auto Sport Association website. I don't think it's any problem to use the NASA website as a source for the basic structure of the organization, but going beyond that and using their claims about their products verbatim as encyclopedic text is definitely inappropriate, especially as their website is a copyrighted source. As this seems like a pretty obvious violation of WP:PROMO and WP:COPYPASTE, I am removing it, but this unfortunately consists of a large portion of the article. As this page seems to get little editor attention, I've boldly gone ahead and made these changes, but if anyone sees this as more contentious than I do, please feel free to revert my edits and join the discussion.

message: Pages for both Santa Cruz County, CA and the area code 831 seem to indicate that 408 no longer goes into any part of SCZ County, and 831, as is logical to me because of media market, covers SCZ County, San Benito County, and Santa Cruz County solely and in full. I'd go through that list of communities served, but don't have time right now. Based on what I've seen of other area code pages, maybe a vertical, and linked (wherever possible) list of counties and the communities within them is appropriate. I'll look into this in the coming days. I think that might make this article more legible. YellowAries2010 (talk) 07:50, 7 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sylvester's sequence

message: I removed the factorizations of e_1 through e_5, because since most of them are prime, it was pretty pointless. The fact that 1807 = 13 * 139 is very easy to calculate. It is for the larger terms that I think it's actually useful to list prime factors. PrimeFan 19:06, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: 1807 being composite is sufficiently nonobvious that in one version of the article I erroneously wrote that the first five terms are prime.

Talk:Sulfates as climate forcing agents

message: Certainly possible to merge it with sulfate. However, I am not sure how large it is going to become and didn't want to swamp that page with climate related stuff. The other possibility is to make it just a redirect to Global dimming. I have asked User:William M. Connolley to consider this as he is a suitable expert and active on wikipedia. crandles 19:07, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, Sulfate is barely more than a stub as it is and could definitely use some information about the biological and (as here) environmental aspects of sulfates. If the section in Sulfate gets really long it can be split out into another article and summarized in the main article, but this article is currently nothing more than a summary anyway. —Keenan Pepper 19:13, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hmm, shame you couldn't spell, though you got it right in the text :-). I've expanded it a bit. I would say it doesn't really belong in sulfate which is all about the chemical. It might belong in radiative forcing instead? William M. Connolley 20:53, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Take a look at Nitrate for an example of a better article about an ion. It has sections about the use of nitrates in agriculture, explosives, food, and medicine, as well as "effects on aquatic life". I can't imagine how such an article could become featured with only information about the chemical properties, so that extra information is not only appropriate but necessary. —Keenan Pepper 22:02, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree at, it's current length, it would be better in sulfate. (BTW I hate the spelling with an f but I presume the audience is more American than British so I reluctantly accept the need for conformity overides my desire to see ph.) I will merger it soon unless someone else beats me to it or there are more objections. I don't really agree with putting it radiative forcing. crandles 13:52, 28 May 2006 (UTC)

message: The last line of the article reads, "Tayasal fue tomada a sangre y fuego por los españoles."  Does this imply burning at the stake, or is it idiomatic for dismemberment, etc?  Thanks ;-)  Gershonw 20:08, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I think "blood and fire" is just a rhetorical flourish - the final conquest of Tayasal by Urzua's troops was actually a relatively relatively bloodless affair, once the inhabitants saw them coming across the lake in boats armed with firearms they quickly dispersed, and actual resistance on the day was scarce. The conquistadores did burn Tayasal's records and documents, and later on reneged on a promise of safe return to some of the leaders (torturing one at least to death); but overall, it was not a massacre.--cjllw | TALK 00:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Louis III of France

message: There are various differing statements in the article regarding the start of his reign:
*in the lede: "Louis ruled from March 880 to 5 August 882"
*infobox: "10 April 879"
*in the article body: "In September 879, Louis and his brother, Carloman, were crowned"
Which one is it?
This also makes me wonder which Louis exactly it was who was defeated by the vikings:
"On 2 February 880, Louis was defeated by the Viking Great Heathen Army at the Battle of Lüneburg Heath."
The article on the Battle of Lüneburg Heath says that it was an entirely different Louis, i.e. Louis the Younger? Nakonana (talk) 22:58, 20 November 2023 (UTC)

On the other hand, going through his biography, both the one written by him and the one written by historians, it can be seen that there is no two-year period in which to go through the courses of this school.
Consequently, corroborating this information, it is very clear that he did not attend the two-year courses of École spéciale militaire de Saint-Cyr.188.25.56.107 (talk) 19:39, 28 April 2022 (UTC)
