Talk:Parvancorina

message: Maybe it's just me, but the first two sentences in the Affinity section leave me wondering what meaning they are intended to convey. Is there somebody with knowledge of this topic who could perhaps re-write them? "Pij" (talk) 03:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That's the problem with incertae sedis: we don't really know what it is.  Parvancorina is suspected of being an arthropod by a lot of researchers due to its superficial similarity to trilobite protaspid shields, but, its growth habit is not suggestive of an arthropod.--Mr Fink (talk) 04:30, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text:  No, missing my point. I'm not talking about the content of the sentence, but its structure. How do the words "is the Cambrian trilobite-like arthropods" relate to the rest of the sentence? Are they an artefact of some previous cut-and-paste, or are they supposed to be linked somehow? "Pij" (talk) 00:22, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I would think that "Cambrian trilobite-like arthropods" is an artefact of sources which talk about Parvancorina's similarity to the protaspid-stage of trilobite larvae, and of various primitive Cambrian arthropods like Skania and Naraoia.  Perhaps simply going with "primitive arthropods" would be less confusing?--Mr Fink (talk) 00:49, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

text: I excised "is the Cambrian trilobite-like arthropods" altogether.  Is it clearer now with my modifications?--Mr Fink (talk) 00:56, 20 November 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Now that I can see the intention of the sentence, I see that simply excising "is the" would have been the main requirement. Those two words, it would seem, were an artefact that didn't belong at all. Yes, it is clear now. Thanks. "Pij" (talk) 05:42, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Rangea

message: Jerzy Dzik identified 4 petals on single specimen of the Russian Rangea sp. (originaly this specimen was described as Bomakellia kelleri). The preservation of this specimen does not allow to assert that this organism had 4 petals only. Others well preserved Russian specimens have 6 petals, as well as type Namibian Rangea schneiderhoehoni.
I deleted description (The features found in Rangea are a double-layered quilted structure, a tripartite stemless body with four-fold radial symmetry, a mucous-supported sheath, smooth surface, radial membranes, and internal organs that are a system of sacs connected by a medial canal.) because it is out of date. I do not have time to do a new description. Please see the article P. Vickers-Rich et al. 2013, link to free PDF. Aleksey (Alnagov (talk) 13:18, 8 August 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Six- or four-fold symmetry? 

message: The final paragraph is suspect. While I suppose it's technically possible that Rangea is an alga or fungus in a subaerial environment, the vast majority of Ediacaran paleontologists don't buy it based on multiple lines of sedimentological and paleobiological evidence. I suspect this is Gregory Retallack attempting to present his ideas as accepted science when they're not. At the very least, this paragraph should reflect that the idea has been proposed but that it it is not universally accepted.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.87.207.12 (talk) 19:31, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Yorgia

message: (I've just had a batch of downloading original papers, so this may well be answered there.)
It is common practice to give an etymology (what the name means and what it refers to) when publishing a formal description. The "waggoneri" part of the name is obviously a refernece to Ben (?) Waggoner, a researcher in the field ; "Yorgia" sounds to me like Russian for "yorg", a hedgehog. I'll check the references shortly.
The "Palaeonological Journal" looks like a mis-type, but I'll check that too.

thread_title:  Etymology 

message: Hi, thanks for your additions to this article - it's looking a lot better now!  The one thing which troubles me is that non-metazoan hypotheses are not well represented in the text, leading to a point of view being presented that does not have universal acceptance, as far as I understand it.  Perhaps my lack of Russian is holding me back, but I don't recall any of the English literature asserting that the organisms are animals with as much confidence as you are!  Ivantsov's done some great work on this and other organisms, but his point of view is one of very many in these controversial organisms!

thread_title:  Animals? 

message: "Yorgia waggoneri is a discoid Ediacaran organism. However, its growth form indicates that may not be the case."  
What does this mean? It may not be discoid?  Ediacaran?  An organism? Shofutai (talk) 14:05, 28 August 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: On the one hand, the second sentence is intended to communicate how the identities of Ediacaran organisms are in a constant state of flux as new information from fossils force researchers to reassess what these things were.  Having said that, on the other hand, without specification, the second clause is useless.  The second sentence was originally addressing an uncited claim that Yorgia may have been a missing link between Spriggina and Dickinsonia in the first sentence that was deleted.  I've fixed that.--Mr Fink (talk) 14:14, 28 August 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Washington Journal

message: This article contains plenty of good information, although one might fail to recognize the fact, given the lack of third-party sources. (There are two references total, both lead back to C-SPAN.org.) Meanwhile, presented as one continuous block text without internal headings, one might not know where to begin in any case. To remedy these problems, and expand the article as reliable sources permit, I've created a proposed replacement draft of this article, available in my user subspace here. As I've discussed on other C-SPAN-related pages, I have a potential conflict of interest with the network and topics related to it, so I'd appreciate someone else having a look and considering its suitability to replace the current version. A response below, whatever it may be, would be most appreciated. Cheers, WWB Too (talk) 15:35, 10 November 2010 (UTC)

Neal attended Reagan Junior High School and Wichita Falls High School in Wichita Falls, playing football at both schools. In high school, he was a two-way player, serving as the team's fullback of offense and while also playing defensive tackle. His high school team won the state quarterfinals, a game where he completed a 78 yard touchdown pass.
