Talk:EOG Resources

message: The section on environmental record is full of POV, and is poorly documented.  An anti-EOG website makes a poor reference, and a You-Tube video (in which the volume can be manipulated) is even worse.  The World Bank document cited concerns Romanian bird flu.  That a neighbor compares the noise to a distant airplane is extremely vague.  Noise pollution, like any other type of pollution, can be measured (in decibels), and presumably is regulated by the relevant authorities.  Nowhere in the section is there any actual measurement of the noise, or a comparison to noise regulations.  Unless this is fixed, the section should be reduced to:  "some neighbors believe that an EOG compressor station is too noisy."  Plazak (talk) 13:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Left on base

message: I would like to clarify what happens when there are runners left on base as a result of the winning run being scored.  Are they counted in LOB stats?  On the one hand, this type of LOB does fit the strict definition, but on the other hand, it doesn't seem fair to include them in LOB, since LOB reflects negatively on the team/player responsible for them, and in the case of scoring the winning run, the team/player did nothing wrong! Tzadik 14:33, 10 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It's been almost a year since you asked this question, but... I think the runners who don't score at the end of a game when the home team has won in its last at bat are counted as LOB.  This may not seem fair, but LOB is merely an old method to check box scores that's isn't particularly helpful in measuring lost opportunities to score -- though it's commonly used for that purpose.  For example, if a player comes up with a runner on first and one out and grounds into a double play, there is no LOB recorded (all batters/runners made outs), but if the batter came up with two out and one on and grounded out, then there's one LOB (one batter/runner was not put out) --- most baseball fans would see the two situations as identical (a runner reached base but didn't score).  For some reason, though, LOB has hung on as a stat that fans talk about as a meaningful measure of lost scoring chances and no alternative stat (all runners who reached base and failed to score, including those caught stealing, picked off, forced out, etc.) has caught on.

thread_title: LOB after winning run?

message: The article needs to better explain the difference between team and individual LOB. The article says team LOBs refer to runners left on base only at the third out. Other the bottom of the last inning, when else can runner be left on base but at the third out. The bottom of the last inning isn't a sufficient explanation on its own because the difference between individual and team LOBs can easily exceed three. -Rrius (talk) 05:44, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

*a subheading that fully treats an element of the topic 
*multiple subheadings that indicate material that could be added to complete the article

Talk:Raki

message: Rachis' and the distillation of liqueur from grape vines.
This is a proposal to cross-reference and link the Wikipedia page for the scientific term Rachis to the article for 'Raki, a distilled liqueur originally developed from the byproducts of grape wine production. The "spines" of the fruit bearing portion of the grape vine (from the ancient Greek word 'Rachis') are the primary ingredient along with partly crushed grape or the addition of dried grapes (typically unsuitable for wine) and herbs (many times anise stars predominately).
The alcoholic drink that is made from the distillation of rachis and other wine making byproducts is believed to be one of the oldest distilled drinks produced. The historical record is clear that the 'spine of the grape' was processed and used.
The Wikipedia article for Raki is filled with material errors and fails to cite the facts of what the rachis is, the significance it has to the science and history of wine making and the indisputable etymology of the word rachis and it's alternate spelling rakis from a Greek word for spine.
There is a deliberate attempt to misrepresent and co-opt a culturally significant contribution here.
The origin of the word Rachis (masculine form) and Raki (plural), are proven as fact by reference to the written historical record in the context of it's original sources. Any scholarly dictionary that can be cited confirms this information.
All linguistic rules are consistent grammatically and these examples are the first occurrences in common use. Other claims are illegitimate as a result.
If fraudulent information that has been entered into the pages of Wikipedia is not corrected, that would show prejudice. To have any credibility these article need to be changed.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.252.112.51 (talk) 21:12, 6 February 2014 (UTC)

Allright! That's what I'm talking about! Now for an article that is sourced from those reliable sources in a neutral way (as opposed to what the self-published sources say). As of now the article makes fairly few statements; the "largest meeting" and the attendee list are pretty much the only ones that could be sourced. Although "largest meeting" may need to qualified with e.g. "...until then", because the sources from 2001 can't of course verify that there hasn't been a larger meeting after that.
