Talk:Tocantins River

message: Initially, I started making only minor edits to this page, just because I saw too many misspelled Portuguese place names. Eventually I came to realize that the original article was based on (or transcribed from) some very old source - the spelling and style suggested a non-Brazilian source no more recent than the early 20th century, almost 100 years ago!
Worse, I found a lengthy reference to "cataracts and rapids" in the lower course of the river. Those are long gone now, since the huge Tucuruí hydroelectric dam's reservoir submerged them. I was unable to find out when exactly that happened, but given that the power plant became operational in 1984, it must have been in the early 1980s - about 25 years ago. No mention was made to the Tucuruí project, which has substantially altered the economy of the eastern Amazon region, creating prosperous booming cities on the river, like Imperatriz or Marabá, and a whole new industrial area based on aluminum processing near Belém.
Likewise, the new Brazilian state of Tocantins, created in 1988 taking its name from the river, was not mentioned at all (and the featured map does not show it, either; the map is certainly from the 1980s, because it does show the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, which was created in 1979).
I also believe that the paragraph on the Araguaia river is too long and has irrelevant data (who cares if one can ride a canoe on the Araguaia?), but I did not change it. I am not an expert and my changes were meant only to remove the most blatant inaccuracies and faults, but if someone else can contribute with a better article, please do so. Unfortunately, the Portuguese-language Wikipedia article on the river (which in theory should be more complete and accurate, being closer to the best original sources) is little more than a stub and doesn't help much.

thread_title:  i edited from 3 MD-GMs to 5. whoever said 3? 

message: I know that in different cultures the concept of first & last names is not always the same as in "Western culture", i.e., "given" and "family name". But I find some contradictions and would like to know the opinion of people who may know better. For example, on chess.com and elsewhere, he is referred to as "Dr. Bassem" which would mean that "Bassem" would be his last and/or family name, and/or the name strangers (not personal friends) would address him with. However, on other databases they use the opposite convention: see e.g.
* https://www.dailychess.com/chess/grandmaster-games/index.php?player=Bassem-Amin&masterplayerid=15876 where they write, for example: "Amin, Bassem vs Nakamura, Hikaru" (which would mean that they use "Amin" as family/last name).
* https://www.chessgames.com/perl/ezsearch.pl?search=bassem : they write just "B Amin"
* also on https://database.chessbase.com/ you cannot find him searching for "Bassem", you have to search for "Amin", and you will find, e.g., "Amin Bassem vs Carlsen Magnus" (so they write the main/family name first).
Isn't this a contradiction, to say "B. Amin", but "Dr. Bassem" ? — MFH:Talk 14:22, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

message: "The UB in all variants was used by the vast majority of Soviet military aircraft of World War II."
Was it really? I was under the impression that the ShKAS was far more commonly used and the UB only was substituted in the late war variants of the aircraft. Maybe if you are measuring by total aircraft produced during the war and the number of aircraft fitted with the UB, because they pumped out such huge numbers of some of the late war fighter variants. But none of the Lavochkin fighters hit the UB until well into production of the Ka-7, the Yaks started with ShKAS, I don't think any of the bombers used them until they were modified later, none of the transports or liaison or reconnaissance or training aircraft. So I don't know about a "vast majority".  Idumea47b (talk) 19:54, 22 January 2024 (UTC)

#In the second paragraph of the "Background" section, I'm confused by this sentence: "Both men escaped the steel cage at the same time therefore Mark Henry made his return and attacked The Undertaker." I'm not sure that I see the link between the two events.
#:.
#In the next sentence, a brief explanation of what a Money in the Bank contract is would be helpful to non-wrestling fans.
#:.
#In the first paragraph of the "Event" section, why did Carlito fall down?
#:.
#In the fourth paragraph of the "Aftermath" section, it would help to explain that Khali's foot being under the rope led to the rematch at One Night Stand. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense to mention the foot in the "Event" and "Results" sections.

Things like this should be explained in the template, either by subheaders on the left or a footnote on the last line of the template. I suppose if the explanation isn't too long it could be in parentheses after the word or the line to which it applies.

"My Dad wrote and recorded that bass line [for Groove Me" in less that 30 minutes in the studio. He was a studio musician and lived in Natchez at the time. They actually called him to come in because their original bass player couldn't make it for some reason. 
Oh, my Dads name is James East and he got paid about $10 for his short time in the studio. And that's all he's ever gotten. lol! I should be rich because of this song. But it's ok.

Talk:Slavery abolition efforts by Les Amis des Noirs

message: I have made a start on the formatting and tried to make the article more readable but there are still several issues which need to be addressed:
*The style is that of an essay or dissertation rather than that off an encyclopaedia. It needs some serious copy-editing.
*The article is long to the point of almost being unreadable & could do with a prune.
*Many of the entries in the further reading section are duplicates of cited references and need to be removed.
*The reference list is very long and contains a number of duplicates which need to to be re-cited using <ref name=nnn>
*There are several sections (mainly quotes) which are in French. Translation to English is required.
*Thought needs to be given to the relationship between this article and Society of the Friends of the Blacks as there is a lot of cross over.
There is also the question of whether the article should be renamed to the English translation to match the above. In the meantime I am renaming to correct the capitalisation.  nancy  10:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:2008 Canadian Grand Prix

message: Here are my thoughts on improving the article further (as per LeaveSleaves' request):
*Minor grammatical issues throughout, e.g. in the lead:
**"It was the seventh race of the 2008 Formula One season and the only race of the season taking place in North America."  Change to "It was the seventh race of the 2008 Formula One season and the only race of the season to take place in North America."
**"Hamilton hit the back of Räikkönen's car at pit lane exit".  Change to "Hamilton hit the back of Räikkönen's car at the pit lane exit".
*All of the sections can be expanded further, especially the practice and qualifying ones.  There could also be a "pre-race" and a "post-race" section.  Hamilton's and Rosberg's penalty could then be moved out of the race report section and into the post-race section.
*Sebastian Vettel's name is spelt incorrectly in several places.
*"Adrian Sutil had a gearbox failure on the 6th lap" - should be 16th lap.
*"Felipe Massa staged a brave fightback" - a bit too POV; should be reworded.
*Some parts could use references, for example "The remainder of the drivers fought to keep their cars on the track and generally ran much slower lap times than earlier in the race as the track surface was extremely worn and there was only a single line upon which a driver was able to find adequate traction." and "For a moment it looked like the Fisichella incident would see the safety car come out again".
*Some comments from drivers, team members etc. after the race could be added to the article (in the post-race section).
*For other opinions on the article, you may wish to request a peer review or leave a message requesting further comments at the WPF1 talkpage.  It may also be a good idea to look at F1 race articles which are already at a high standard: 1994 San Marino Grand Prix and 2005 United States Grand Prix are at featured article level, whilst 1997 European Grand Prix, 2007 Australian Grand Prix, 2007 Malaysian Grand Prix, 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, 2007 French Grand Prix and 1995 Japanese Grand Prix are all at good article standard.
I hope that these comments are helpful; please ask if you need anything clarified or expanded upon.--Diniz(talk) 19:18, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
