Talk:Cypraeidae

message: As my edits regarding several genera that link other articles (eg. Trona links to the mineral species) could someone else please preform this? Kevmin 03:52, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

message: From years of first-hand experience with the cowries and their predators, I have included a few of the predators of these shells. Keep in mind that fish gulp them down (up,... whatever!) whole and digest them, shell and all. Also, the rays (sting- and eagle) can crush their shells and eat the flesh.

thread_title: Vulnerabilities of the cowry shell

message: Crabs use their claws to grasp and crush. Some claws have very sharp edges which may cause material to break and separate in the act of being crushed, but no slicing action occurs. It would be necessary to give a reference for the claim that a crab can "cut" the top off of a cowry shell.Makuabob (talk) 12:00, 22 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: As far as I could work out, the article has never been sourced in all these years. I've rewritten this based on a couple of sources that I could find but it looks like the meaning has changed completely in the process. The only stuff I can find that refers to the old meaning is a series of Raj/Raj-based sources that mention the Sirki Khels - eg: this and  this. Raj ethnographies are not usually considered reliable and the title was different anyway. I have no problem with someone creating Sirki Khel or even another version such as Sirki (Sindhi tribe) if it is reliably sourced. - Sitush (talk) 15:04, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Thank You.
Hopiakuta 04:11, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: No connection, apparently.  The suffix 'chester' (and related terms such as 'caster' and 'cester') is common in English place names, deriving ultimately from the Latin 'castrum', meaning an army encampment.  The Anglo-Saxons used it as part of their place names for many towns of Roman origin, such as Chester, Manchester, Lancaster, Leicester, Colchester, Winchester, Cirencester, and others.  The 'Dor' part of the name of Dorchester in Dorset comes from the Roman or pre-Roman name of the inhabitants, but the 'Dor' in the Oxfordshire Dorchester has an unknown origin.  There is no apparent reason to connect the two names.31.48.60.195 (talk) 19:04, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Cassegrain reflector

message: Cleaned up problems created by wholesale moving of sections from other articles. Deleted Schmidt camera since it is not a cassigrain. Moved other types into organized sub types. Removed "VISAC" since it does not seem to be a distinct sub-type, an external review states that it is basicaly a Richey-Chretien with an added a "field corrector lens" to correct field curvature in wide field applications. Moved it down to Commercially produced Cassegrains and moved extended info to its parent page Vixen (telescopes).Halfblue 04:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Cleanup edits

message: The section on the Schmidt Cassegrain currently begins by stating that it is a 'classic wide field instrument' or words to that effect.
If you click on the link to the main Schmidt Cassegrain article and look at ITS section 'applications' you will see that it says the Schmidt Cassegrain is a narrow field instrument - a direct contradiction.
My own understanding is that the Schmidt Cassegrain has a limited (narrow) field of view i.e. the dedicated article is correct while the general cassegrain article is wrong on this point. I think the author may have got mixed up with the Schmidt Camera (a different instrument) which is classic and does have a wider field of view.
Propose to delete or amend the claim that the Schmidt Cassegrain is a wide field instrument.
To back up what I have said, look at:  a review of a very common and typical SCT (Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope). One of the 'cons' noted is 'narrow field of view'.
Look at the first bullet point at the bottom of the page here: ; look at the last sentence of the first 'catadioptrics' paragraph here: .  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.67.127.181 (talk) 12:24, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm aware he's not requested and that there's little on Google. However I don't think the transliterated name of a Japanese musician who died thirty years ago can fairly be put to a Google test. Added to that the "Fumio Nanri Award" has apparently lasted thirty years and is mentioned in some noteworthy Jazz sites. Possibly I'm being misled, but it seems like he is notable enough.--T.

message: Comments about the "action theme, performed on the upper-registers of the piano" or the "romance theme, first heard in the film during the skiing sequence, but not heard here until the "Christmas in Turkey" cue, in a simple arrangement for piano" may be accurate but constitute original research without a verifiable independent reference.

Talk:Dakota

message: I recognize that the policy for disambiguation pages does not include the use of boldface in the individual enteries.  In that case of Dakota, however, I think it is appropriate because the page is longer than many disambiguation pages, making it more difficult for the reader to quickly find the entery she is looking for.  Adding the boldface enables the reader to quickly find the appropriate meaning of Dakota, which, after all, is the point of a disambiguation page.  In this, the use of boldface is supported by Wikipedia:Ignore all rules; boldface may not follow the typical format, but it does make the page more useful. --Badger151 05:09, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

In the meantime, the lk to Dakota (given name) provides a low-clutter life raft for the one or two users (among the multitudes who don't know who is meant when "Dakota" is the name someone drops) who imagine that it's important that they become that much hipper. --Jerzy•t 21:37, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Mohammed Abdel Wahab

message: First time I've ever tried to contribute, but here goes - it seems to me that a lot of the language, especially towards the bottom of the page, is very biased in favour of the singer. Phrases such as "the giant that is" and the stressing on "ALL but ONE" as if it is to defend his honour or somesuch seem quite uneccesary for what is meant to be an encyclopedia, not a review. Anyway, that's just what I thought :)
