Talk:Banana messenger

message: I rode a train in 1961 from the midwest to Utah and noticed the restrictions that certain tickets - clergy, etc etc - banana messenger were not valid on the train.  I have no financial or other interest in any company selling youth clothing or supplies.  I just think it is neat to track how usages change.  In the last few decades I have seen kids wearing sweatshirts or T-shirts saying "loose lips sink ships" - a WW II slogan against gossiping about troop movements - enemy spies could in principle gain an advantage. No one wearing such a shirt and with whom I struck up a conversation had any idea of the provenance of the slogan. See .  I think it's nice to make names and slogans traceable, that's all.

Talk:Meconopsis

message: Meconopsis grandis, a species, redirects to the genus,Meconopsis.

Talk:Meconopsis betonicifolia

message: An expert said that this poppy begins to die around 70F. It can't keep up with its respiration because it's adapted to Himalayan altitude. People often claim that the solution is to grow it in shady conditions. That's not what he said. He said it's a full sun plant. Full cool sun. He also said purple in the petals is a sign that the plant is sick from too much heat. There shouldn't be any purple coloration. He also said that people are scamming others by telling them zone hardiness data that just doesn't work with the way this plant grows. It can't tolerate warm temperatures, even in the 70s. People make a lot of dubious claims about the poppy because they don't realize that they can't replicate the Himalayan altitude in this backyard gardens.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.233.13.82 (talk) 04:18, 20 July 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Papaver nudicaule

message: I removed vandalism from this page.--Auric (talk) 15:49, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: If you ask me, it is still vandalized, by pro-FDA-policy spin control; Icelandic poppies are not poisonous, per se.  They are not as directly medicinal as P. somniferum, but using the word 'poisonous' is misleading.  Almost all drugs are poisonous when consumed from their natural sources in the volume required to count them as nutritive, but we call them drugs or medications when prescribed by a physician in minute quantities.  The silly reality is the state of being 'high' is literally 'intoxication' -- to be poisoned.  So the plant should be called "less medicinally valuable," not "poisonous."

replies: text: Plants of the World Online puts both species in Oreomecon (see here), but doesn't treat them as synonyms, so if the image is indeed of Papaver miyabeanum, it should be removed. It appears that they have been treated as synonyms, but may not be in some more recent sources. Peter coxhead (talk) 17:21, 3 June 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: However, I'm pretty sure that the picture labelled "Papaver miyabeanum" is not of a native occurrence of that species, which according to PoWO is native only to the Kuril Islands, whereas the picture appears to have been taken in the European mountains. The identity of the species in Papaver sect. Meconella ≡ Oreomecon appears to be highly confused, particularly because hybrids are cultivated as short-lived alpines reproduced from seed.

File talk:Scouts du Burkina Faso.png

message: File is being used in :Fédération Burkinabé du Scoutisme, but it usage does not seem to comply with :WP:NFCC. The file is not being used in the infobox as the primary means of identification of the subject of the article as its non-free use rationale claims. The file itself is also not the subject of any sourced commentary within the article so the context the file needs to satisfy :WP:NFCC#8 is not evident. It is generally considered necessary for a non-free image used outside of the main infobox or not as the primary means of identification to be the subject of sourced discussion within the article to a degree that the reader needs to see the image to understand what is written. Otherwise, the usage is considered to be mainly decorative and not acceptable per the NFCC and removing the image is not seen as being detrimental to the reader's understanding. 
Another problem with the image is the lack of proper source information for the file. The only information given is "collection of Chris", but this is not sufficient to satisfy either :WP:NFCC#4 or :WP:NFCC#10a. The copyright status of the image needs to be verifiable for it to be considered non-free and files without proper sourcing information for license verification can be tagged for speedy deletion per :WP:F4. If "Chris" is the copyright holder or creator of the image, then this should be made clear and an permissions email should be sent to :WP:OTRS for verification, so that image can be changed to an appropriate free license.  -- Marchjuly (talk) 05:44, 27 January 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Merger with BI-LO page

message: Red Food Stores was not started by Frank McDonald. It was begun by Grady Parham as a red truck traveling through neighborhoods selling groceries. It was called the Rolling Red Food Store. Mr. Parham was induced to work for Mr. H.G. Hill and became his favorite employee. Upon Mr. Hill's death, the Chattanooga stores became Mr. Parham's. He changed the name of those stores to the Red Food Stores. Around the end of WWII there were about 96 or 97 stores. They were small corner groceries, much like mom and pop stores. The trend to supermarkets brought the closing of the small stores and the company was reduced to 19 stores, while greatly increasing sales. Mr. Parham sold two-thirds of the company in the 1960s and retired. His home was at the very top of the W road on Signal Mountain.
Mr. McDonald started the Home Stores grocery chain. He despised government. He was cited several times for putting formaldehyde in the hamburger meat. It made the meat stay red longer but was very much a health hazard. That was only one of his problems with the government. My recollection is that he simply shut down the company rather than sell it. He also owned the newspaper, the Chattanooga Free Press and started Blue Cross of Tennessee.

message: Adenanthos completely omitted from the germination records appendix. Just a single paragraph on the genus, page 177: "This genus contains shrubs and groundcover plants noted for their inability to produce abundant seeds. The seeds are difficult to locate and require the use of seed traps placed around the plants for a lengthy period. Flowering and fruiting occurs throughout the year and this makes timing of seed collection difficult. Adenanthos species are often propagated by cuttings." Hesperian 01:01, 25 November 2010 (UTC)
