message: thumb|Proposed alternative (by Lewis Hulbert)
I added the image I'm proposing as the alternative to the article at an earlier date, but it was reverted by Wyrdlight with the reason "Not sure its a better photo as too dark to see statue detail". I'm not sure if this is really true, and would like a discussion over this. The two images have almost the same detail in the thumbnail, the current just a little more (although that's due to the image being a little overexposed.) The text saying "Wellington" is also near unreadable in the current image. On top of that, the replacement is of a much higher resolution, and has far more detail than the current photo when at full resolution which makes it possible to see features on the statue such as veins on the horse and face detail.--Lewis Hulbert (talk) 14:36, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I think an improved image would be helpful no matter the result of this. I'm going to add a link to the Commons category to the article so people can see all of the images. I took a large amount on the same day, but I haven't got around to processing those yet so that should again populate the category. Lewis Hulbert (talk) 16:59, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Leo Africanus

message: Some editors and IPs have been going back and forth for a while over a claim that Leo Africanus is Berber (latest examples: , ). In the contested edits, the claim is attributed to Rauchenberger (1999; see sources section), which is in German and which I can't access. However, I've looked at multiple other reliable references (e.g. , ) and all of them consistently mention his Andalusi origin (or sometimes "Moorish"), while none of them ascribe him a more specific ethnicity. One reference even states categorically that he was "not Berber" (). According to the introduction here (see first page of introduction chapter, "Who was Leo Africanus?"), it seems that the only clue we have about his family origins is his surname, which could have a Berber connection or could have some other origin, but this is only speculation.
Either way, this does not seem like something on which an academic consensus exists. If so, then it would be WP:UNDUE to state any further ethnicity in the lead. Theories about his family origins would be better discussed in the body of the article and should respect WP:NPOV. R Prazeres (talk) 07:47, 25 January 2024 (UTC)

text: 'Gharqad' no longer redirects to this article, but instead to the article on Nitraria retusa, which also does not mention the word. However, an alternative spelling, 'Gharkad', still links to this article. At least one of these articles needs a section on the cultural significance of the plant. (I had a quick search of the Net but was unable to find reliable sources, only some contributions on Quora, and an abstract posted on Oxford Scholarship Online.) For now, I'll add 'See also' links to both articles, pointing to a

Talk:William Connolly (VC)

message: I have removed a forum board at liverpool-genealogy.org.uk and generic website addresses (Ancestry.co.uk, Findmypast.co.uk, and findawill). The latter should be fairly obvious, because they do not support the text. Forums are not reliable sources, and if indeed the material that is being sourced can be found indirectly on that forum board, then a link to the original material should be used instead. Linking to a forum so that people can hunt-and-peck for the original source is both a combination of OR and not-the-point-of-references. Please do not re-add the removed sources. Primefac (talk) 22:03, 11 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: It is standard practice to indicate where information has come from. How come book references are allowed but not genealogy websites like Ancestry and FMP where the information can be accessed? Do you know how these websites work? You can access them free in libraries or get a free trial subscription. Why are you being so petty? You are not making sense. All source checking involves some work. I don't have a copy of the book currently referenced on the page how can that be supported using your logic? The Genealogy forum referenced provides expert analysis, transcripts of information from genealogy websites and images you can view. Perhaps you don't understand this subject? Or are you just trying to be difficult because you don't like what is on the page? A copy of the will can be obtained from the government's Find a will site and you can do a search on there and look at brief details of the probate record. Please stop this foolishness.

replies: text: We can all agree forums are not reliable sources. Homepages of a genealogy website is not reliable either, it's not even a source. Sources need to be specific and useful if there is an article on Ancestry.co.uk which speaks to this topic it may be possible to use it as a reference if it meets the requirements of WP:RS and you link directly to the article on the website. Even when someone uses a book, newspaper or journal as a reference they are required to provide specific information like volume, issue and page.

Talk:Extraordinary optical transmission

message: I'm not sure the definition given here is precise.
The EOT is first of all the enhanced transmission through subwavelength apertures arranged in a periodic way. the transmission is usualy compared to the theoretical transmission efficeincy given by Bethe-Bouwkamp model: ~(d/lambda)^4. and if the design of the periodic pattern i s successful, one can see an enhancement of ~1000.
what is described here is another effect called beaming due to corrugation around a subwavelength aperture.
--Mmrejen 11:32, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I do agree with the previous comment, EOT is the enhancement of the field related to the field at the aperture and beaming as a property than one can encounter by additional structuring. In additon it is evident that surface plasmon plays the fundamental role in performing subwavelength transmission. I strongly recomment modifying of this work.
