thread_title:  needs to tell how long sequencing takes 

message: This article as it stands needs a lot of work. There are now several different sequencing technologies available and this article seems to be written as if we were still in the age of capillary sequencing.  I think it would be useful to include some of the following sections:
* History of sequencing machines - which would cover the various companies and machines that they released with some indications of their underlying technologie and capacities (could be expressed as a table).
* Growth of sequencing capacity - includes some discussion of the growth in DNA sequence data enabled by sequencing machines
* Technologies in development - It would be useful to point to some of the upcoming technologies that do not yet have production machines available.

replies: text: The article on DNA sequencing looks much more developed and covers similar ground to my suggestions above.  Should we consider merging this article into that one?  Perhaps by adding a  historical perspective on the development of sequencing machines to that article. Alexbateman (talk) 15:58, 25 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The two are obviously related subjects, though to me it would make more sense to discuss the science and reasoning behind DNA sequencing itself at DNA sequencing and to leave this article open for discussion of the actual machines performing it.  So, as in the table above, I'd place the first item in DNA sequencer and the other two in DNA sequencing. §everal⇒|Times 19:38, 5 September 2012 (UTC)

Surely this plane was close enough to the de Havilland Dove, like as not inspired by the same recommendation from the Brabazon comittee? Yet the Dove did well enough commercially.

Talk:At Yankee Stadium

message: The original release of the "At Yankee Stadium" LP contained an additional song: "Ridin' In My Car".  This was originally released on NRBQ's previous album "All Hopped Up" and as a single.  Mercury Records thought the song might improve AYS's sales, so they arranged a licensing deal with the band to include it along with the tracks the band recorded specifically for the new album.  Mercury decided not to renoew the agreement, so on subsequent versions of the album, including the CD release, "Ridin' In My Car" does not appear.  Does Wikipedia have a standardized way of presenting an album's tracklist when it varies between releases?  The tracklist as it stands is correct for most versions of the album, but not for its original release.  --Skyraider 05:03, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Our Lady of Porta Vaga

message: I recently changed the phrasing in the lead here 
I did this because using one religious title to give context to another is not useful to readers who are not familiar with the subject. 'Mary, mother of Jesus' is understandable to a wider audience and is a neutral term. This is per policy such as WP:NPOV.  Though Catholics and some others may think of Mary as the BVM, this is not a neutral term. 
An IP editor (172.250.99.70)  reverted this change and additionally added the phrase Roman Catholic before Marian in the lead. I will now re-instate my change whilst also keeping this editor's 'Roman Catholic Marian title' phrasing. From their edit summary, which said 'this is a Roman', I think they may have only intended to add the Roman Catholic phrase as they did not engage with my reason for my change in the edit summary. 
In any case, if anyone has any comment it would be good to build consensus.JohnmgKing (talk) 22:34, 7 November 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Evanston Township, Cook County, Illinois

message: It appears that Evanston Township and Ridgeville Township are the same civil township, though before and after a split and boundary change: According to the Ridgeville Township article, the township underwent three changes on February 17, 1857: the south part was detached to form Lake View Township; an area called the "Ouilmette reservation" was attached on the north; and the township was renamed Evanston Township.  (Apparently the attachment on the north was reversed two years later and given over to New Trier Township.)  Arguments for merging: It appears to have been the same township legally from 1850 founding to 2017 dissolution; the target article is more or less a stub; and neither subject exists anymore to expand beyond its current scope in the future.  Argument against merging: It could be said that Evanston Township and Lake View Township both have a common historic origin in Ridgeville Township, which had a different boundary under that name.  However, the Lake View Township page is currently just a redirect to the neighborhood of Lake View, Chicago, and Ridgeville Township only existed formally with that name for 7 years. --Closeapple (talk) 05:14, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

thread_title:  Misleading - see talk on Mandate Mesopotamia  

message: This article, compared with other articles on Wikipedia, is shockingly brief and cursory, as is its adjunct, the British mandate of Iraq. It is not that content is biased or unbalanced, it is just lacking in the detail other histories of the same period receive. Is this all there is to say about decades of fairly recent Iraqi history? It is not as though there is no research available on this subject, although the article does not even have a bibliography, and the references given for the few footnotes do not include any of the significant sources for this period. Unfortunately, I just don't have the time to do anything about this myself, but I am disappointed that the modern history of Iraq has merited so little description. The articles in Arabic, French, and German do not look too impressive either. The Arabic one only is a brief part of the general history of Iraq (!). The French one might be slightly better, but not much. This article certainly exposes a weakness of Wikipedia.LCalpurniusPiso (talk) 23:14, 12 November 2018 (UTC)

message: The link to the GRIN page now gives Platanus x hispanica as the accepted name and Platanus x acerifolia as a junior synonym.

Given that this taxon is used as an illustration of a rejected name in some GBIF nomenclatural documents it would be nice if this was better supported by explicit references. P. hispanica is still accepted, for instance, by British botanists, it was not revised by Stace in 2019 (p. 130). Somewhere I've seen this paper as a possible source, but it's paywalled.

Talk:Education in Bosnia and Herzegovina

message: I recently removed the following statements about the nature of BiH higher education which were either unsourced and/or very good examples of original research:
:Bosnian education is one of the most dynamic, progressive and intellectually rigorous education systems in the world. This system not only encourages study and higher education, but it also respects academic achievements
and
:This concentration of talent is remarkable in a country whose total population was severely depleted due to the diaspora of individuals fleeing during the recent war years. Bosnian college students abroad are good and recognized students; most of them attend universities in North America, Australia, and other European countries.
