Talk:Freur

message: There's one thing I will always remember about Freur. At the time they were promoting "Doot Doot", one of them (Rick Smith, I think) was playing a strange instrument, a sort of electronic metal stick. He held it like a guitar or a fretless bass.
I never saw anything like that again.
Recently I got hold of some videos, and it looks like it was fake, like the sound was from a synthesizer, and Smith smashed one of those sticks at the end of nearly each performance.
If anybody knows something about this mystery instrument, I think this is the right place to ask!
Ciao,
Andrea.
: You are right, Rick Smith used a stick as an "instrument."  It was mainly for theatrics as the sound came from a synthesizer.  He did smash the stick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7rbId3feNw&feature=related and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWkccmluYOs&feature=related  On a sidenote, is it me or does it seem that a lot of the 80's and early 90's musical acts owe a great deal of gratitude to Freur.  They seemed to have covered a wide range of sounds before they became established genres and sub-genres.--Leonidas1982 (talk) 04:46, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Just a quick observation, the efforts to create an OBU organization in Australia appear to have started well before the effort in Canada. For that reason and others, a separate article for the Australia OBU organization is probably justified. Richard Myers (talk) 20:03, 22 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  One Big Union organizations 

message: The abbreviation 1U and the hashtag #1U are both used by labor organizers and organizations, at least online and on social media. A cursory search on Twitter or Facebook will reveal this. I felt this might be worth mentioning in the article somewhere (maybe a passing mention in the lead?) but I'm not sure where would be best to put it. Also, I'm having trouble finding good citations. I know that 1U is definitely used because I've seen it being used for years, and I've asked people who use it what it means, but I can't find any good secondary sources to cite. The only source I found was this entry on hashtags.org that was submitted in either 2014 or 2015: https://www.hashtags.org/definition/1u/
I've gone ahead and added an entry to the 1U disambiguation page redirecting to this article, but until a better source has been found, I thought it might be better to just mention this on the talk page before adding it to the main article here. Delvethedragon (talk) 19:04, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

message: The history section needs to be updated, clarifying what has been completed and what is still in progress.  See Wikipedia:Avoid statements that will date quickly for some pointers.
: The college has grown a lot since 1996 from 635 students to 1,200 full-time students. However it still plans to grow to 1,600 full-time students. This can now be accomplished through a major redevelopment project involving a complete college rebuild at a cost of £20.8m. The new accommodation opened in September 2005, although it is not officially open until 21st July. The new building is divided into 3 blocks (A, B and C) and 4 floors (0-3). The new building has a lecture theatre, theatre, refectory, large art rooms, library and sound proof music rooms. Previously the students were in a building that had lasted since the 1950s however this has now been knocked down and is currently being re-landscaped.

thread_title: Untitled

message: This article is in need of a complete rewrite, and I plan to do some work towards that goal. Before doing so, I would like to offer some thoughts on the article title, and request some community feedback.
The term of art within the field is RNA processing, which is used to describe all of the co-transcriptional and post-transcriptional modifications to the whole constellation of RNA molecules (see List of RNAs) in all organisms and cells. Since the late 1970s, RNA processing has grown to be a very active field of biochemical research that is extremely broad in scope. (Currently, the wiki article on RNA processing is a redirect that links to this page.)
I don't like the current title of the present article, for two reasons--
# The title does not directly mention RNA
# The title uses the word "post-transcriptional" when most of the RNA processing events actually occur during transcription (co-transcriptional)
Secondly, I don't like the content of the present article because it is focused on a very small subset of the RNA processing universe, only pre-mRNA processing in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It would make much more sense for the article to provide a broad perspective on the overall field, and then link to articles that focus on the individual topics (e.g. transfer RNA processing). 
Questions for the community--
# What are your thoughts about moving the present article content to RNA processing?
# Do you agree that this article should provide a broad perspective on the entire field of RNA processing, with links to more detailed articles on individual topics?

Just a thought, but is 'carry' the right word to use here?  This sentence seems to be addressing the genetics of the disease and I was under the impression that to 'carry' something in genetics meant something like to contain the causal variant within one's genome without expressing the phenotype ie. the disease.  Maybe something like "There are usually more male than female sufferers because males only have one X chromosome, while females have two." would work better?

message: I see this article is partly translated from the French article.  I've had a bit of a go at re-adjusting some of the language so it reads a little more naturally in English.  This section doesn't make sense to me:
Neurology and comportment
often describe as funny but it's not constant. This pathology is also responsible of brutal fall without lucidity lost when visual and auditory stimulis. This affects about 20% of the patients.
Can anyone shed some light on how that ought to be translated?
I'm in two minds about what to do with this sentence:
A new mutation means that neither parent has the altered gene, but the affected individual could pass it on to his children.
Since this is an X-linked disease, technically an affected male could only pass this on to his daughters.  Do people think I should edit the text to reflect this or would that confuse the matter?  Another way round it would be to edit the male 'his' to be gender neutral 'their'.  Trouble is, most sufferers seem (from the article) to be male.  What do people think?
