Talk:List of Belgians

message: Was there really a saint Conan O'Brian and saint Guy Smiley? Should we check the list for possible vandalism?

thread_title:  Possible vandalism? 

message: Shouldn't all these people belong to a "Belgians" category, i.e. Category:Belgians? It would be a lot easier to maintain, and subcategories (i.e. "Belgian singers") could allow a more generally (in wiki terms) accepted list of belgians. Of course, categories wouldn't allow us to include the distinction between belgians by citizenship and by birth. Has this idea been brought up before? --Anthony Liekens 12:45, 5 Jul 2004 (UTC)

Were the lads workers on a failing railroad, members of a perpetually losing cricket team, a team of Arctic explorers, condom demonstrators?

message: It has emerged via the closed Facebook group of the Kaleidoscope thet the claim on the BBC Treasure Hunt page that the audio of several missing episodes have survived is false.

The BBC page (still necessary to confirm the surviving TRs) is likely to have more credibility than my changes, so the issue may resurface here at some point.

thread_title: Removed this old section, because I'm not sure what the unsigned editor was trying to say

message: For some reason, the lead word has "namely characteristics or qualities" when "properties" is probably a better term.
I am thinking of added in "property" in addition to or instead of "characteristic", as per the Van Inwagon..
"Universals, if they indeed exist, are, in the first instance, properties or qualities or attributes (i.e., “ductility” or “whiteness”) that are supposedly universally “present in” the members of classes of things and relations (i.e., “being to the north of”) that are supposedly universally present in the members of classes of sequences of things" Van Inwagon, "Metaphysics"
JP Moreland uses the same terminology:

message: High Force is in the administrative county of county durham but forms part of the border between the traditional counties of Yorkshire and County Durham. Its not in North Yorkshire as that is also an administrative county that co exists with the area currently run by durham county council. To describe a geographical feature such as a waterfall I think the use of traditional counties that have fixed boundaries is more appropriate. Administrative areas change over time and are of more use when describing how towns are governed rather than the location of a physical feature. Anyway I'll let someone else decide whats best.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Teesandhumber (talk • contribs) 19:57, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Yaoi

message: First of all, thank you for your efforts to expand this section, and please do not take my reduction of your contributions as attempting to discourage you from contributing further. That said, I think we need to be careful that this section is not conflating "media that depicts male same-sex couples or homosexuality generally" with yaoi/BL, as these are not precisely the same thing. Also, as this article about yaoi/BL as a concept generally, we have to ensure it does not give WP:UNDUE weight to certain topics, which means it should only address BL television dramas that are specifically notable – dramas that are the first BL drama a country has produced, dramas that have achieved a high bar of critical or commercial success, etc. – and that it isn't just a laundry list of every BL drama a country has produced.
If you intend to expand these sections further, I think it would be appropriate to start breaking them out into their own articles, e.g. BL in Thailand, BL in China, etc. Morgan695 (talk) 04:31, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Chemistry 

message: The second paragraph of the Isotopes section talks about 100Sn having a doubly magic nucleus, then in the next phrase it says that it has a "very uneven neutron-proton ratio" which is obviously incorrect; since tin is element 50 it would have 50 protons in its nucleus, and an isotope at 100 amu would thus also have 50 neutrons, making the ratio 1:1 (which is about as even as you can get). The other isotope referenced, 132Sn, would certainly have an uneven ratio, and the following portion of the sentence states that 100 and 132 are the endpoints above/below which isotopes are much more unstable, but I'm not sure how to reword this to keep the relevant information and get rid of the contradictory information.

Talk:North Brabant

message: Though possibly ranging into the somewhat insignificant, it can be said that the culture and general mentality in Brabant, more specifically the area identified as "beneat the rivers", that area which has mostly remained catholic due to the fact that it was not part of the Union of Utrecht is quite different when compared to the rest of the country, if only due to the fact that the religion is entirely different. Generally, southern Dutch people, especially in more rural areas, are identified as "Burgundians", which is basically a name given to people with a relatively lavish lifestyle. This can be justified by the fact that the Duchy of Brabant was part of the House of Burgundy. --213.84.161.16 21:51, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
