Talk:Cordilleran ice sheet

message: I understand that this is a C-Class article and would have some deficiencies. However, I see that the section "Sea Level During Glaciation", in my understanding, contains a significant lack of scholarship.
It is an accepted fact that during an Ice Age glaciers form, and as the result, sea level drops.  The "Sea Level During Glaciation" section begins by stating that, "sea levels at the Last Glacial Maximum were over a hundred metres higher than they are today".  Of course, there is no ready reference for this claim.  In the second paragraph, there is a discussion about the sea level being lower with an explanation that is bewildering.
The third paragraph discusses how the migration from Beringia to North America was facilitated due to the subsequent deglaciation "due purely to the exposure of submerged land between the mainland and numerous continental islands".  Logicaly, deglaciation would raise the sea level; deglaciation exposing land is not true.  
The fourth paragraph is clearly non sequitur.
As a minimum, the third and fourth paragraphs should be eliminated.
Overall, this section does nothing to the purpose of describing the Cordilleran Ice Sheet.  I suggest, lacking significant improvement, this section should be deleted.

:According to the [hot dog] article, skinless meat hot dogs have a cellulose casing when cooked, which is removed after cooking in the factory. It's the same thing with vegetarian hot dogs. The more expensive "natural casing" meat hot dogs have a casing of animal intestine.

I'm sure that's not how it was stated, considering that in Europe the fuel consumption is usually given in "l/100km". And than  the French invented the litre and the kilometer and may not be too sure what a gallon is. (That is easy, of course. A gallon is 4.54609 l or 3.785411784 l.)
Doing the math, 9.4 mpg is either 25 l/100 km (U.S. gallons) or 30 l/100 km (British gallons). I have no idea which.--ospalh (talk) 16:20, 10 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Hi, I'm a newcomer to Wikopedia. I'm aware this article needs more work regarding policy and convention. The article is currently a stub, feel free to assist in creating it. I'm learning how to edit and add articles but it may be a few days before I can spend more time on it again. 
Not sure at the moment how to properly categorise or even mark articles as a stub, I'll learn as I go.
Also the links could be annotated into the article. It seems to me the article should link into the article on "spacetime". Unless someone else feels a great need to do this before me, I'm on the case. I'd consider it an honour to edit/create that connection myself.
The important thing is that the article is up now, it's useful to people, and I'm looking forward to seeing how (if) it develops through collaboration. Glad to be giving something back to Wikipedia for all it has given to me, and hoping people may enjoy the article.

Talk:Hacia Dos Veranos

message: Hacia Dos Veranos is one the most notable post-rock band of Argentina, and the only one that released their work outside the country. (Which, for a musical genre that not popular at all, that's quite remarkable).
For example, the Gideon Coe's BBC show 6music used several tracks of Hacia Dos Veranos in his program.
In Google, the "Hacia Dos Veranos" string (and yes, I know that Google isn't a reliably source) throws up 31.400 results.
And, mainly... post-rock isn't a popular musical genre, but, popularity not necessary means relevance.
And if anyone, anywhere thinks "Are There any post-rock bands in Argentina?" or "If you say post-rock in Argentina, would people there know what you're talking about?"; here is the answer, here is the quintessence of post-rock in Argentina. An argentinian band, of a non popular genre (not here in Argentina, and not anywhere in the world), that went out of borders and landed in Europe.
And if you think that this is self promotion, that I have "personal interests" placing this article here; I invite you all to see my contributions in spanish Wikipedia. Under the subtitle "Música" you can see that I created (or severally edited) the majority of post-rock related articles in spanish Wikipedia. I've created the spanish equivalents articles of such bands like Godspeed You! Black Emperor, A Silver Mt. Zion, Do Make Say Think, God is an Astronaut, Explosions In The Sky, and the articles regarding their albums.
I'm not doing self-promotion here (I want to make this clear, in case you were wandering). I love post-rock, and as I'm just taking the time to create and maintain post-rock related articles in spanish Wikipedia, I wanted to give back a bit to english Wikipedia and create the article of a notable post-rock band that isn't present here yet.
And finally, yes, I'm aware that my english writing is quite far from good... what can I say?. I'm sorry, but I'm still learning. Cheers!. Kved 02:01, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fourth Reich of the Rich

message: If I recall this book is explicitly anti-Masonic and anti-Vatican, but the anti-Semitic content, while present, isn't explicit nor the main point of the book.  It is more or less a rehash of the Illuminati conspiracy theory with an anti-Catholic and anti-Masonic slant.  As written the article makes it sound like strictly an anti-Semitic book, and reads like a third-hand description by somebody who has not actually read the book, relying on somebody else who has also not actually read the book as their source.  I also doubt this book is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia anyway - it is self published and rather marginal.  At best the article needs a complete rewrite.  More likely this article probably belongs on AfD. 70.108.47.232 02:20, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: This citation does not support the preceding first half of the sentence, "Despite it being under centuries of Chinese-speaking environment,..."[]
First, this edit's citation uses 2 separate quoted citations. Perhaps, if there is a need to use 2 separate and unrelated quotes, there should be 2 individual and separate citations.
Cited quote #1 (from page 3) is "In 1710, during the reign of the Kangxi emperor, a large part of my native Amdo had been incorporated into the Manchu empire as part of the region known as Qinghai" (p. 3) 
''
This quotation does not support the assertion of language dominance as used in the phrase "Chinese-speaking  environment"- when the Machu Empire used military force to "incorporate" parts of the Amdo province of Tibet. Also, a fact worth noting in the selection of this quote is that the next sentence says, "Manchu control, like that of the Mongols, never reached our villages." It seems that Taktser village was unchanged, both physically as well as linguistically by the expanding Machu or Qing Empire. In addition, Manchu is not a Chinese language and was recognized as one of many languages within the Qing Empire.
Cited quote #2 (from page 2) is "The village sits just at the edge of Tibet at a juncture of several cultures - Mongolian, Chinese, Uighur, Tibetan and Hui, with each culture speaking its own distinct language. Much later, as more Chinese moved into the area and we began to intermix, we began speaking a mixture of Tibetan and Qinghai Chinese language." (p. 2) 
''
This quotation itself, refutes the assertion in the sentence that there was a "Chinese-speaking environment," as this implies the dominance of the use of the Chinese language for these centuries. This cited quotation itself states that were many languages spoken, certainly Turkic, Mongolian, Chinese, Tibetan and perhaps others such as Arabic.
