Talk:Mandible (insect mouthpart)

message: I have removed the following text as it is rubbish and badly worded. --5telios (talk) 08:16, 16 April 2010 (UTC)

message: I have seen in this article and several other articles where the proboscis is described as a "tongue". While a rather descriptive word to describe the appearance, it doesn't seem to really match the function and modified body parts, which may possibly lead to confusion on the part of the readers. If I were to equate these parts to those in a human mouth --in terms of function-- the proboscis primarily acts like lips, rounded and extended for sucking (say, drinking out of a lake). Thus the proboscis it typically modified parts of the maxilla, which in chewing-insects serve the same function as human lips in manipulating food while chewing. The labrum and labrium (literally, upper and lower lips) serve the function of our lips in providing an opening and closing of the mouth. The mandibles (literally "jaw") serves the function of our jaws in chewing, only it's part of the exoskeleton thus is on the outside. The part that serves the function of the "tongue" in manipulating and swallowing food once inside the mouth (possibly taste, definitely saliva and to produce suction) is the hypopharynx.

About the notation:  notation
and the new collection (nothing new against pmatrix, but more straight and encyclopedic)

Also if it would be appropriate one may link to these pages in the article (the last one under construction and will be filled up from time to time).

thread_title:  Composition and physical properties? 

message: I hoped this Talk section would help editors improve the accuracy and reliability of the hardness of moldavite, with at least one suitable source that supports the agreed hardness. I hoped the article could be changed after we agreed the hardness and source. I think we seemed to be moving towards a consensus but this has been complicated by editors editing the article before agreement, even after being asked to wait. This suggests to me that discussion is not having a positive-enough effect and we are going round in circles, for example Onohej zlatove's edit (as 31.15.169.67) in the Wikipedia article on 9 December that changed the hardness to "6.5 - 7" without agreement and with source references that do not actually support a hardness of "6.5 - 7". (The cited sources support a hardness of 6-7 only). 
I think we have reached the stage when voting on a specific version of text may be useful. Therefore, I suggest that we vote: do you agree or disagree that the hardness of moldavite should be changed in the article to the following text? :
in the Infobox: Hardness: 6–7O'Keefe, John A. Tektites and their Origin, NASA 
in the Properties section: Its properties are similar to that of other types of glass, and its Mohs hardness is 6–7.O'Keefe, John A. Tektites and their Origin, NASA 
_______
Only the NASA secondary source is needed to support the hardness 6–7. There is no need to use another source (e.g. University of Texas or Australian Museum) because these sources give the hardness of tektites, rather than moldavites, and although moldavites are tektites, they do not state where moldavite lies in the hardness range for tektites.

Talk:Hazlet, Saskatchewan

message: I don't have very much information about Hazlet.
The one thing I do know is that I had a cousin who lived in Hazlet, I know he arrived in Canada in the first half of the 20th Century.  He lived in Hazlet with his wife, who predeceased him, his name was Jack Barlow, born in England in 1908, and he was still alive in 1979.  My reason for writing this is to learn a little more about the place he settled in, and also to find out, if possible more about his life in Canada.  I know he often did odd jobs about the place.
Jack passed away Dec. 22 1979. See the link to the Hazlet History Book: http://www.ourroots.ca/e/page.aspx?id=641644 If you search the volumes his name comes up on several pages.--Ringading 123 (talk) 22:30, 7 May 2012 (UTC)

message: The long section on the Pekingese should probably be moved to the Pekingese article, a short reference is only needed in this article as an example of a lapdog with a provable very ancient history.

message: In China there was also a true lap dog, a dog bred to not need any more exercise per day than climbing in one's lap. Perfect for old people or invalids who can't take their dog for a walk. Anyone know which breed this was? kwami (talk) 08:40, 8 March 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  true lap dog 

message: In this context... 
"He's small, but he's not really much of a lapdog."
...the word "lapdog" refers to a sort of temperament or  predisposition to act in a particular way.  
Yet this article says it refers to any small dog.
There was once a very small working dog, a turnspit dog, and it was small, but it wasn't a lapdog.  
Badger dogs and other hole-flushing hunting dogs tend to be small, but that doesn't mean they want to spend that many hours sleeping on the master's lap.  Or mistress, traditionally.  
Some terriers are small, the Jack Russell for example, but there are many things your average Jack Russell would like to be doing other than just curling up on a person's lap.  They like activity.  Alot.
Think about the Boston Terrier, which is really just a small molosser, they'd probably prefer to go running out with the big dogs than lie around on a lap.
We should edit the article, it's the lead sentence I have in mind, to reflect the fact that to be a true lapdog in the strict sense commonly refers to a dog which has not only the proper size, but also the proper disposition, for the lapdog life.  Not every small dog is so inclined. Chrisrus (talk) 06:30, 14 November 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  any small dog a lapdog? 

message: I think there is, around the world, too. For example, some "jet-set lap dogs" (mainly pugs) are always carried around (often in special purses) and thus hardly ever have the permission to walk alone. I think this is a crucial issue for e. g. animal rights activists, because it can induce lack of physical activity! -andy 217.50.43.194 (talk) 11:02, 22 July 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Missionaries of La Salette

message: Before the 1970s, the main building at the shrine in Attleboro on Route 118 consisted of a large, handsome 4-story gothic building that served as a dormitory and meeting center.  In the 1960s and 1970s, the order built a modern center down the hill from the original building.  Somehow in doing so the LaSallettes became the victims of fraud and lost a lot of money.  They started hosting a Labor Day weekend carnival, and began to market the shrine during the Christmas season by promoting the Christmas lights; many thousands of people attend each winter.  In the late 1990s, a brother visiting from England fell asleep with a lit cigarette and the original buildling burned to the ground, leaving only the masonry shell; the building was unrecoverable.  There was only one fatality due to the fire.  Here is a photo of the remains of the tragic fire: from SouthCoastToday.com dated 1999.  According to a link from topix.net that I couldnt' bring up on my screen, the La Sallettes are preparing to start construction on a big new addition.  And on a happier note, here is a link to Father Pat, LaSallette's famous singing priest and songwriter: Father Andre Patenaude --McTrixie 17:46, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Proleg

message: I am new to detailed lepidopteran anatomy; I have known about prolegs for years but until today I was unfamiliar with plantae and crochets.
In trying to determine how to say "crochet", I ran across difficulties. Some of the published scientific papers discussing insect anatomy spell the word as "crotchet" (pronunciation ˈkɹɒtʃ.ɪt). Wiktionary lists "crochet" with pronunciation kɹoʊˈʃeɪ, crow-shay, for the textile craft, but it does not mention anatomical crochets of any type. 
Can someone with a solid entomological anatomy background please give some input? Do crochets on a proleg sound like crotchets, the musical notations, or like crochets, as in "he crochets a cardigan"? Should wiktionary be amended to add a biological or anatomical definition for crochet? Krnntp (talk) 12:55, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
