message: The distance from Marathon to Athens is not 26.2 miles.  The reason why a marathon race is 26.2 miles has nothing to with the distance from Marathon to Athens, which very well may be 26 miles(or not even 26 miles).  the .2 came about when the Royal Family, in one of the early olympics wanted a better view of the race at the finish, so they extended it an additional .2 of a mile.  The rest, well, as we say, is precedent and history.

Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Porkbusters

message: What, so any campaign or activist project needs to meet your personal stamp of approval in order to be worth providing information on?  Whether or not Wikipedia has an entry on it, the Porkbusters campaign is the collaborative effort of a huge number of people, writing to their congressmen and putting up the legislation that brings money to their localities.  It exists and I can't see any justifiable reason for there not to be an entry here about it.  As always, those within the wikipedia community are well within their rights to edit the content; if they believe the campaign is irrelevant or has had no influence or never will, they can say so, preferably adding further sources to the article when they do.  Of course, those who believe otherwise are also within their rights to try and check them, and that is how I have been led to believe the system works here.  Calling for the deletion of this simply because you don't like the sound of it demonstrates a stunning lack of comprehension of just what it is that Wikipedia is all about.--Amargo Scribe 21:17, 13 October 2005 (UTC)

message: This article has serious issues aside from lacking citations.
 
* The tone is like a personal reflection or essay:
:: "All seem to know him and deal with him as sort of an old friend."
:: "That eternity was (perhaps) cut short as Ricardo disappears into television black space on April 1, 1960."
* It's at times excessively detailed:
:: "Only the Duffs (Ida Lupino and her husband Howard Duff) seem to not know him during their stay in a cabin in 'Lucy Takes A Vacation' on the Comedy Hour program."
:: "Their move coincides with the release of the very popular movie and Sloan Wilson novel 'The Man In The Gray Flannel Suit' in the public domain."
* It's often written in an in-universe style:
:: "Ricardo is fairly unique for someone in his position and era."
:: "Even when Ricardo catches on his wife she finds some way to get around him."
The grammar often has issues too, as the above quotes also illustrate. The article has some good information but it needs serious work. It probably has the largest number of distinct, serious issues of any article I've read on Wikipedia. 24.220.188.43 (talk) 14:09, 18 April 2011 (UTC)

message: I added the following to the paragraph about nostalgia for the Mao era, because I thought it was important to have an illustrative example of exactly what people were talking about. Additionally, I added a link towards the bottom with the full text of the mentioned leaflet and analysis thereof. I've never made a big Wiki edit, soooo... I hope this is OK?
"On December 24, 2004, four Chinese protesters were sentenced to prison terms for distributing leaflets entitled "Mao Forever Our Leader" at a gathering in Zhengzhou honoring Mao Zedong on the anniversary of his death. Attacking the current leadership as "imperialist revisionists", the leaflets called on lower-level cadre to "change (The Party's) current line and to revert to the socialist road." The Zhengzhou incident is one of the first manifestations of public nostalgia for the Mao era to make it to the international press, although it is far from clear whether these feelings are isolated or widespread."
The New Zealand Red Flag group has been defunt for a very long time now, thus has been removed. The Communist Party of Aotearoa is the present representive of Maoism in New Zealand, but are so small that they don't warrant being mentioned.

message: This information added " In 2001-2002 at the University of California, Fresno Veterinary College, a genetic study of 300 DNA samples taken of Thai Ridgebacks from across Thailand found the Thai Ridgeback to be a unique breed unrelated to the Rhodesian or Phu Quoc dogs. " is blatantly wrong. First off there is no "UC Fresno." I have been in contact with the university and tracked down the actual study which actually provides evidence of a common ancestor. You can see the study here http://diss-epsilon.slu.se/archive/00001669/ And it was done by Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Some samples were collected by Dr Mark Neff at UC Davis Regalthai (talk)  —Preceding undated comment added 23:01, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  "UC Fresno study" 

message: I believe this section is in error with known facts. Phu Quoc was the island where the western dog-fancier first encountered the breed and obtained the dog in the 19th century, when the island was colonized. However, it is long known that the so called Phu Quoc Dog and the Thai Ridgeback is one and the same dog. Actually, this dog is found in Thailand, Vietnam, Kamphuchea (Cambodia) and Indonesia. However, the it is found only on the islands of Vietnam, Kamphuchea and Indonesia, while it is found on both the islands and the mainland of Thailand. Nevertheless, the Thai Ridgeback and Phu Quoc Dog is one and the same breed, as stated by Ph.D. S. Wannakrairoj in 1995.
:When S. Wannakrairoj state that the Phu Quoc Dog and the Thai Ridgeback is one and the same, he is of course 100% right. However, there is of course a distinct difference between the original ridgeback type (the dog from Phu Quoc if you like), which was primarily a semi-wild swift hunting dog, and the Thai Ridgeback of today, which has been breed to gain weight and so be more of a street fighter. This dog i no longer a hunter, but a product of modern breeding with a primitive attitude. There may still be a few original ridgebacks’ out there of course.
:However, there seems to be a great deal of confusion regarding the ridgeback, which really is just one of three different varieties of the Boran Dog (a.k.a. the Mah Thai). The two other are the common Thai Dog and the Siamese Hairless Dog. The last by many thought to be extinct, though some experts believe some may have survived in northeastern parts of Thailand.

replies: text: I also found this phrase very peculiar, especially in the first explanatory paragraph.  wiktionary says the phrase is "(idiomatic, US) A way to designate special coins, namely coins that are both odd and imperfect or seriously damaged." so it doesn't seem to apply specifically to early currencies.

thread_title:  Odd and Curious 

message: I'm not sure one specific example like this adds to the article and follows encyclopedic style, but I also feel hesitant to delete this person's edit.  If it is kept, perhaps it needs an introductory sentence explaining that (for example) numismatists may analyse symbolic and cultural elements of coin design and relate these to an historical understanding of the location and era of a coin's creation / use?  It also seems to be placed in a strange spot, under the Modern Numismatics and Subfieds sections, though it does not relate to either of these and might sit better higher up in the article.

message: Is the derivation of the name given here correct? Draco is a masculine noun, while -ula is a feminine ending. Other masculine nouns ending in -o (e.g. leo, homo) use the diminutive ending -culus (leunculus, homunculus), and the form dracunculus is attested in Pliny's Natural History as well as in Linnaeus's name for tarragon (which I believe he got from Pliny). Does anyone have the original reference, and if so, did Carlyle Luer explicitly say that the name is from the Latin? —Charles P. (Mirv) 22:19, 13 October 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: the name

message: Charles - I think you are right about "Dracula" not being Latin. I have Luer's Icones Pleurothallidinarium X - Systematics of Dracula in front of me. Here's the excerpt from the Etymology section for the genus dracula:
::"The name Dracula, literally  meaning a little dragon, and by insinuation, a vampire, satisfies the inclusion of Chimaera as well as other draconian and chiropteran epithets applied to these species."
Nowhere does Luer state that Dracula is latin for "little dragon". Refer to the Vlad III Dracula wiki  for the Romanian origins of the word "dracula".  Because of this, I recommend that the description for this entry be updated to remove the reference to the latin origins of the word "dracula". Thus, I also need to update the description on my website, www.draculaspecies.com.--Wsarles 16:27, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
