message: I updated the flag to Union flag. The Ulster banner has not been official flag of NI since 1972. This is an encyclopaedia, right? Encyclopaedia are supposed to have the facts correct. Fact: The Union flag is the only official flag of NI. See Flag of Northern Ireland for more detail. Snappy56 17:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Snappy, neither the Union Jack or the Ulster Banner should be used as none of the Flag of Northern Ireland. Either a blank white flag or no flag at all should be used.--Vintagekits 19:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

text: Fennessy, I totaly agree about the Ulster Banner but this template is used in many sports articles that do you the UB, such as international football and the Commonwealth Games.  For that reason this template cannot be changed, until such time as the sports templates are sorted to not use this template. So edit warring on this template is pointless, and not the way to resolve this issue.--padraig 14:41, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The hydrography here makes little sense to me:
:The town lies at the confluence of Green River into the Hoosac River. Several other brooks emanate from both, spreading out through town.
Surely the brooks don't emanate from the Green and Hoosac? Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that several other tributary brooks pass through the town before reaching their confluences with the Green and Hoosac rivers? We could perhaps just delete the sentence about the brooks altogether--they seem like a fairly minor detail. 65.213.77.129 (talk) 14:49, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Environmental Blog

message: At the moment this article is only a stub, however I think it merits a category of its own, such as political blog. I understand the environment is a very contentious issue, as the page has even been redirected, simply to blog. This should not be the case --Cindymagig 18:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The point is that this article doesn't provide any meaningful content. It's plainly obvious that an environmental blog would be about the environment. Certain blog types like political blogs have articles because either there are so many of them that they have garnered attention or they have entered some sort of recognized mainstream importance. Also, as it is, this article doesn't even assert notability. Redirecting it until there is some worthwhile content is the best option. At the moment, it probably qualifies for speedy deletion for not even asserting why it's important. Reverting one more time to redirect, if you want to change it back, I'll probably tag it for AfD to get a community consensus on it one way or another. -Cquan (talk, AMA Desk) 20:45, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Article Modification

message: There seems to be a lot of confusion on some of the language used on this page. While researching I could not find the terms preopercle, interopercle, and subopercle. I instead found the terms pre-operculum, suboperculum, interoperculum and operculum. The term operculum and opercle bone can be used interchangeably when describing the overall components as one. To avoid confusion I would like to edit this page so that we can refer to the overall bone as the opercular series and the components as pre-operculum, suboperculum, interoperculum and operculum. I think this will make it easier for readers to distinguish the operculum section, from the overall operculum bone that contains all of the components listed above. I will also go into detail of the anatomy and placement of the opercular series and its components. Please let me know what you think of this. If there is a specific reference anyone used to compose this page, please make it available so we can expand even further. Thank you! Liz0618 (talk) 04:09, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: The policy of most geographic names boards in North America is to remove apostrophes from geographic names, either by removing the possessive entirely (Hudson's Bay → Hudson Bay), or by just dropping the apostrophe (Smith's Falls → Smiths Falls). Don't ask me why -- that's just the way it is.  Names are de-apostrophized on a case-by-case basis, and sometimes there are exceptions that keep the apostrophe.  The official spelling of place names in Canada are online at Natural Resources Canada's web site. If you do a query there, you'll see that "St. Margaret's Bay" was "rescinded" in 1963 and that "St. Margarets Bay" is now "official". Indefatigable (talk) 17:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Enfield Falls Canal

message: Does anyone know why this article is titled "Enfield Falls Canal" rather than the common name of "Windsor Locks Canal"?  The original National Register of Historic Names is listed as "Enfield Canal" with a common name of "Windsor Locks Canal".  The document shows that the owner was the Windsor Locks Canal Company.  The state lists the name as the Windsor Locks Canal State Park.  Books are published and promoted under the name Windsor Locks Canal.  Based on preliminary Web searches, there doesn't seem to be much support for current article title whereas it should be Windsor Locks Canal which is the common name or Enfield Canal if we have to go based on the official title in the National Register of Historic Names.

replies: text: I don't think this is an issue. The term "women" is used 33 times and 13 of these are in the citations. When the term is used in the body of the article, often the age range is given. If you have a source for the differences of the cycles in girls, we could include these. It would insult our readers to say "in adult women who are still menstruating" when the meaning of post-menopausal  is so obvious. I would be interested to see if any  editors think "girls" is an issue. Graham Beards (talk) 21:41, 30 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text:  I don't understand why the term "adult women" is used twice in the article - why not just "women"? I would have thought cycle length is on average the same, no matter if it's a menstruating teenager or an "adult woman" (perhaps different again during peri-menopause?). From a society point of view (or call it history), girls where officially women once they started menopause... Nowadays we don't think of them that way: we have girls pre menarche, then girls post menarche and then adult women. But biologically, the menstrual cycle is the same for a post menarche girl as for a woman, isn't it? In summary, I don't think we need to mention girls separate but I would prefer "women" instead of "adult women" here. - I've also seen the term "females" in publications to include women and girls in the one term.
