thread_title:  Wikilinks in template? 

message: Just to clarify what the documentation states: should this template only be used in infoboxes and only once in such templates? I've come across quite a few uses in Template:Singles, which is added to and embedded in Template:Infobox album. Much like Template:Duration, it appears some editors believe any instance of a date in templates (and sometimes outside of them) should be formatted with this template and I'm clarifying that we should still abide by the documentation for only using it once in an infobox and not outside of them. Ping  as the creator of this template. (Apologies if this "should be obvious" or is considered a silly question, and I'm aware Template:Singles states, under "Single # date", "Do not use the Start date template in this field", but I've recently come across editors who still actively use this template more than once outside of an infobox, even after I explained this to them.)

replies: text: Thanks for clarifying. I thought it was clear enough too, but some editors still format dates in Template:Singles with this, even after I linked to the documentation and explained.

text: *Oppose all except WIMS, per stickguy. I don't know about stickguy's additional suggestion to revert to 'base-callsign titles', since I'm not familiar with this domain. However, the relative notability of the various entities seems to be nicely handled by DAB pages that now exist, and I oppose this particular set of requested moves. (Otherwise we use up space emphasizing the titles of stations that are no longer in service under those names) WIMS is the exception because there is no clear leader in notability among the things called 'WIMS' that are still in service.

replies: text: Comment: My reference to "base-callsign titles" was to the fact that the requester had moved the article previously at WAGA to WAGA (TV), and so on for most of the others, in advance of this request.

Talk:Crematogaster

message: Under the heading: Division of labor
•	I added the following text: “Soldiers are typically larger with a more developed metapleural gland specialized for colony defence or food acquisition. A worker ant is generally smaller than soldiers and queens, and its main task is to assist the queen in rearing the young. Workers vary in size more than soldiers. This considerable variation in size may have played a considerable role in the evolution of "large workers" in this genus [13].”
•	Reference 13 is a new source that I used and is cited here: Peeters, Christian, Chung-Chee Lin, and Yves Quinet. "Evolution of a Soldier Caste Specialized to Lay Unfertilized Eggs in the Ant Genus Crematogaster (subgenus Orthocrema)." Elsevier 42 (2013): 257-64. Web. 10 Nov. 2013.
Under the heading: Habitat
•	I added the following text: “Acrobats ants can be found either outdoors or indoors with great frequency in each case. Outdoors, acrobat ants are usually arboreal, but they often live in many common areas in the wild. These areas are typically moist and are often dark.”

: etymology fact: Crematogaster, composed from latin crematus + greek gaster means burning stomach (with reference to the secreted acid) but many specialists believe this is a typo error and the name was intended to be Cremastogaster, from greek cremasto=suspended + greek gaster, meaning suspended stomach with reference to the special attachement of the abdomen and the possibility to raise it.

Thats an entirely different thing to the process in the article where a slavemaker queen fools her way into another species colony and kills their queen before taking over on mass.

Talk:Formica polyctena

message: The Behavior section seems very complete, but there is nothing other than behavior. I'd add a quick Range section that takes the info from the intro and I'd set that there. I'd also add some info about the general habitat they live in. The ants are pretty common, so a short section describing what they look like would really help add breadth to the page. A subsection on foraging would be a nice addition. Foraging is a big part of ant life and there should be some mention of the behavior. I checked over the grammar as well.Dudas 91 (talk) 23:16, 31 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Peer Review 2013

message: This article covers the behavior of these ants very thoroughly.  However, it leaves several interesting and important questions unanswered.  What is this species' ecological "role" in an environment (ie. predators, prey)?  What are the main sources of food for this ant?  What might threaten a colony in terms of predators or resources?
Additionally, the article mentions that the ants use pheromones and other genetically-based methods of communication.  However, it doesn't really go into the details of this.  Are there any studies that specifically address these questions?  It is an extremely interesting topic, but this article glosses over the genetics.

I'm not a pro in ant identification, so I don't want to make a mistake by changing the pictures, though, I have some doubts regarding the fact that the queen (and maybe worker) presented in them are really of Formica pratensis. I think the red mark on the head should go more around the eyes, nearly surrendering them... Maybe this could be due to some variability in the individuals though. Can any one confirm or infirm ?

There are still some comments I am not sure about but whose English in not correct. I removed some duplicate sentences about identifying the Guam use - you really only need to ay it once. You references need a good bit of work and I will point you to the correct way to do them. Check out this page for the correct citation tags that you should be using. If you look at Postage stamps of Ireland you will see their correct usage on some of the references. Also I was able to find an image and maybe you have more, especially for each topic.

Talk:Die head

message: Would some of the contributors to the page on die heads describe in greater detail how to set up and use the die head.  I acquired a metal working lathe that has a die head very similar to the one shown on the page, but no instructions were provided.  Specifically, I cannot seem to figure out how to change the chasers.  Possibly something is broken, but I don't think so.
Dmbelisle 17:05, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

message: On your question about Die heads:
Yea, it's not obvious how to use one is it? You might want to disassemble it completely, it will give you a good understandig of how it works, you can also give it a thorough cleaning and lubrication at the same time.
What is the make of the Die Head? The most common ones are Geometric.
If it's a Geometric head then the first thing to do is allow the chasers to go back to their open position - just pull the body of the head straight out away from the shank and the spring load will cause it to rotate and open. Next pull the little knob out, look at the top picture in the article, the little knob is the one just above the red knob. When you pull that out, the head should rotate a little bit further. Once it is in that fully rotated and open position, the chasers should slide out.
There is a spring loaded ball bearing underneath each chaser that positions the chaser. You need to overcome the load of that little detent to get the chaser out. You can see the balls in that same picture - look at base of the two slots that are nearest the camera. BTW, that spring loaded ball is what you rely on when you replace the chaser. Slip the chaser in until the ball pops into the groove in the bottom of the chaser and the chaser should be aligned with the closing mechanism. If this last sentence makes no sense whatsoever, don't worry, it will once you come to changing chasers.
Thanks gargoyle888.  Being able remove the chasers also shows how the die head will open up to retract after the threads have been cut.  Dmbelisle 06:48, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
