message: About 2005, in the American Scientist interview i lk'd, he said he'd climbed for 25 years. If he started at age 15, he was born 1965. So 1960s is a decent guess. Undergrad degree date would give us a much better one. --Jerzy•t 18:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: "A decent guess" is a slang expresssion for "the most reasonable estimate available at this time", and such an estimate is valuable, as long as it's labeled as such (that's what "c.", for "circa" does, widely in WP), both for improved confidence in identifying him and for putting him a little more in context (e.g., helping us speculate on how long a career he has left). --Jerzy•t 18:21, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

: No special evidence of notability presented. Strongest claim (climbing Kilimanjaro) is interesting, but doesn't really convey notability.
Creator's responses:
:- Against notability: Kilimanjaro confers no notability per se: i've drastically out-climbed a younger guy who did it, and i am far from notability as a climber.
:- For notability: This is a stub, and a one-month old one. I created it (without being sure if he has sufficient notability), bcz of the topics he writes on, the doctoral-level expertise he brings to the relevant science, and the charisma he brings to the climate debate by having personally inspected K's retreating glaciers.
Nom this bio for AfD, if you care too. My hope is that 6 months or a year will build the article up to where keeping it is a no brainer, but any AfD debate will bring forth more concrete evidence, quicker, and probably a good decision.

Talk:Political institutions of ancient Rome

message: who piped "politics of ancient rome" into "politial institutions of ancient rome"? the latter is more sections of the govenmental group, while the whole idea of politics is individual people and actions. the "roman law" page is also too small. it should be more of a list page to the different sections of how the laws worked. for example: what was an ancient roman courtroom like? were there lawyers who debated the ideas? were there investigations or witnesses? there is definite lacking in this area.

message: The older core of Norcia is almost flat, which is relatively unusual among the towns of Umbria. It is completely enclosed by a full circuit of walls that has survived intact from the 14th century. They stood up despite many earthquakes, of which several were devastating (1763, 1859, 1979). After the earthquake of August 22, 1859, the Papal States, to which Norcia then belonged, imposed a stringent construction code forbidding structures of more than 3 stories and requiring the use of certain materials and building techniques - I wonder if someone can find this code. thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.41.3.21 (talk) 08:17, 28 August 2016 (UTC)

However, many pianists - Debussy's pupils excepted - do not do this, his notation not being obvious.

Talk:Morman

message: I just have read in the National Quarterly Review, Vol. XVI, Dec. 1867-Mar. 1868 (ed. Edward I. Sears, L.L. D.), New York 1868, available online at https://archive.org/details/nationalquarter07unkngoog, in the article Mediaeval German Literature — Eschenbach pp. 139-140 that the person might be connected with Eschenbach's poem and medieval legend in general. The article states that "(...) the romantic Sir Parcival was created out of a certain Morvan Lez Breiz, of Brittany, who lived in the ninth century, and is celebrated in numerous ballads as the hero of many fights against Louis the Pious. The ballads tell how young Morvan was raised by his mother in strict seclusion from the world — she intending to keep him ignorant of its turmoils and battles — but how the child once went into the lorest, and there met a knight, whom it took to be an angel; how the knight spoke kindly to the child, and thus awakened in the boy's heart a passionate desire for knightly adventures; how, finally, the boy ran away from home, and became the successful knight known in history. But when, alter ten years of adventure, he returned to his home, he found that his mother had died of a broken heart. These few circumstances — all of which we meet again in the story of Parcival — will show how natural it was for legendary lore to connect Morvan, the boy so ignorant of the world, and yet so evidently longing to become a knight-errant, with the glorious Round Table, and to attribute many circumstances, ascribed in immemorial fairy tales to marvellous simpletons, to this simple-hearted hero. In this, his earliest legendary shape, we meet Morvan in some old English manuscripts as Parcival the Crusader, who died in the Holy Land; and in the Welsh Mabinogian as Peredur, the son of Evrawc."
I have no idea, how much of the above passage may be still considered as probable or true, since the text was written about 150 years ago, but I met with this theory first time and it seems too me very interesting indeed. However I do not feel competent enough to mention this thesis in the article, I still think it might be perchance good to include it in some paragraph, so if someone would prefer to do this instead of me, feel free to use the source, as the mentioned article (as the whole review) is obviously not in copyright.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rubor Sanguinis (talk • contribs) 10:39, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Caulk boots

message: There are a lot of problems with this article.
:1) The article is a stub.
:2) The lede is full of incorrect information.
:3) Insufficient and irrelevant references. (the OSHA reference, for example, addresses that boots must be chainsaw resistant, and says nothing about the studs on the soles, other than to note that studded boots must also be chainsaw resistant.)
For starters, the name of the boot is spelled "Calk" or "Caulk", but is almost universally pronounced "Cork" regardless of spelling.  Other names for the boot (logger's boots; timber boots) are found outside the logging industry, but almost never heard inside the industry.
:Newby, R.; The Rocky Mountain Region; Greenwood; Westport, Conn.:  2004. 0-31332-817-X. p. 149
:Image: FHS5063: Bill Engstrom Caulking his boots.
:Forest History Today; The Clearwater River Log Drives; FAll 2000.  pp.25-26.
Etymological evidence strongly suggests that the original spelling was "Calk" since that word specifically references a cleat attached to a horse's shoe to improve traction, and predates the first use of the word "Caulk" by at least a century.  "Cork" is most likely the result of a regional mispronunciation at some point during the 20th century.
:Straight to the Point:  What Are Those Spiked Boots?; February 16, 2017.
:[See also entries for "calk"; "caulk"; and "cork" in Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, and Online Etymology Dictionary 
One can find dozens of makers and sellers selling these as "Caulks" and as "Calks", e.g.:
:What Are Caulk Boots?
:Drew's Lace-To-Toe Cascade Calk Boots
But while many sellers mention that the name of the boot is pronounced "cork", I couldn't find any seller listing them as "Corks" in their catalog -- they are always listed as "Calks" or "Caulks".
Consequently, the lead should probably be reworded to something like:
:"Calk" or "caulk" boots (pronounced "cork") are a form of rugged footwear having a number of spiked cleats ("calks") attached to the soles to provide improved traction on slippery terrain.  Primarily associated with the timber industry, they may also sometimes be employed in construction, manufacturing, or farming applications, or (rarely) for hiking.  Because of the timber industry association they are also sometimes referred to by lay persons as "timber boots", "Logger boots", or "logging boots".

message: Content looks decent. The article mostly needs some copyediting. A while back I was considering making this article, and so here are two links I got that could be helpful.
*NCDC - Given that we know Danielle spawned a few tornadoes, NCDC lists 6 tornadoes for early September 1980 in Texas. If you can find a source that the sixth one was caused by Danielle (it occurred in Jefferson County), then you can also add that the tornado caused $250,000 in damage. At the very least, it'd be something for the damage qualifier in the infobox
