Talk:Oswald Avery

message: Why does the photo seem to attribute the discover of the double helix to Avery?  I am an outsider, but it seems to me that Avery did tremendous work - but did not discover the double helix!
----
Discovery - not discoverer.  Look under the photo for others involved in the discovery.
----
Avery did not use mice in his experiment
----
He found that DNA was the source of genetic information. NOT that it was a Double Helix (that was Watson and Crick) and he was not involved in the discovery, he helped find out what it did.
----
Oy! Somebody's got some splainin' to do! It seems there's plagiarism from http://profiles.nlm.nih.gov/CC/Views/Exhibit/narrative/biographical.html on here (at least in the section about his family life). --ArtifexCrastinus (talk) 06:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: It is a shame this article is only a "C" (which I agree is reasonable) as Avery didn't just help find out what DNA does.  Using his years of dogged and highly scientific work and standing on the shoulders of others he rose alone above other scientists of his day and identified DNA as the genetic material. As a physician, I think he should get a "top" ranking, but given that this is a "popular" rating and the Mendel only gets a "high" Avery should get a "high" as well, since everything genetic we do today is based on his discovery.

thread_title: untitled

message: Contrary to the current text "churn" as a common word does not imply violent motion. Classic 100% diametrically wrong thing here. Rather, churn as in a butter churn, refers to a consistent, rythmic and regular folding motion in some medium with a medium viscosity. 76.180.168.166 (talk) 17:00, 10 September 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: fallacious meaning

message: Can someone check the way this is phrased?  "Churn is closely related to the concept of average customer life time. For example, a churn rate of 25% implies an average customer life of 4 years."  If 25% of the customers are leaving each year, it would seem that the longest life would be four years, but the average life would be more on the order of two years.  Perhaps what the meaning of "average customer life" is should be defined?  Apologies if I've provided feedback in an incorrect manner.

thread_title: Definition

message: I can't see listing, but am colloquially aware, of usage in a business context where a large number of similar, on-going products (e.g. SIM contracts for bulk buyers / operators) has a continual "churn" that will cap the number of connection / disconnection requests at an agreed amount, above which additional costs are incurred - this is to prevent sudden, unexpected volumes of administration, and to keep revenue from unit-costed items to a predictable level. I've not easily been able to find any attestation of this usage, but I have encountered it several businesses, and seems mutually understood whenever used. Does anyone have references that can properly define this usage? — Sasuke Sarutobi (talk) 11:58, 26 May 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Harry Potter/Uncited

message: As of 1 January 2006, over three hundred million (300,000,000) copies of Harry Potter books have been sold worldwide.
The books have become popular enough that bookshops worldwide now hold simultaneous "release parties" on the day Harry Potter books are released, since the earliest time the books can be sold at retail is 12:01 a.m. GMT or BST (or the equivalent local time at the point of sale).
The Harry Potter books have been translated into many languages.  For the English language, there exists an adapted American English version of each book, with lexical changes like "football" to "soccer", "video recorder" to "VCR", "do his nut" to "go ballistic" and "rubbish bin" to "trash can" and spelling changes like "defence" to "defense".
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them was intended as a reproduction of a Hogwarts textbook owned by Harry, complete with notes scribbled in the margins by Harry and his friends, while Quidditch Through the Ages is supposed to be a reproduction from the copy at Hogwarts's library. These were written by J. K. Rowling with proceeds going to Comic Relief.

Talk:Streptococcal pharyngitis

message: The statement that “it is reasonable to suggest that no antimicrobial treatment be given to healthy adults who have adverse reactions to medication or those at low risk of complications” cites 2 sources.  The first is a practice guideline that was published in 2001 and says that it expires automatically after 5 years.  The second has its full-text behind a pay wall (and the abstract does not say anything about this). I think the newest U.S. (AAFP) guidelines are also behind a paywall.

Talk:University of Montana System

message: ----
I'm trying to create this page, and having trouble.  See the following, which I will send as mail if  this does not work:
I'm   pretty new to the  editing process, and am trying to bring some order to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Universities_and_colleges_in_Montana
At this point, there are a large number of Montana colleges not listed there at all, but the problem I am trying to work on  first is the name of the main University of Montana campus in Missoula.  At THIS point that  Missoula Campus is (since I renamed the article)  listed as one of two subcategories, under the Category article, the other subcategory  being http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Montana_State_University_System  -- which has four  campuses under it.   The page that is giving me the trouble is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:University_of_Montana  That  Category name needs to have "System appended to its name.
As you can see from http://mus.montana.edu/campuses.htm  The University of Montana  is now  (since  July 1,  1994)   ALSO a four-campus system, and  the campus in  Missoula is, properly,  headed as you now see at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/University_of_Montana_-Missoula  In that University of Montana System, there are also these three campuses:  A)  Montana Tech of The University of Montana  (which, just to confuse the issue,  has  not adopted that style on its own webpage-- though it IS listed  that way in the Wikipedia-- which is   probably  the correct way to handle that problem-- see  the logo at http://www.mtech.edu/ ), B) The University of Montana -Western at  http://www.umWestern.edu
and C) The University of Montana  - Helena College of Technology  http://www.umhelena.edu/Home/tabid/349/Default.aspx   As you see, the latter two campuses need wikis. 
It seems clear that to avoid confusion,  the  Wikipedia entry for the University of Montana's flagship campus in Missoula ought to be  headed  University of Montana  - Missoula, with  that one and the three other campuses being listed under the    renamed page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:University_of_Montana System  -- except that I don't seem to be allowed to change category names.
There was already a page at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montana_State_University_System  when I started work, with a  non-existent link to University of Montana  System.  I've tried to create that   University of Montana System  page,  and I HOPE I've succeeded this time!.  I am also having trouble  fixing  the  link  to the Missoula campus  in the existing page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_colleges_and_universities_in_Montana.
