message: The Los Alamos Campground in Angeles National Forest is under control of the U.S. Forest Service.  Though this is sometimes referred to as the "Pyramid Lake Los Alamos Campground", it does not have on-premises access to Pyramid Lake.

message: A local news report covered the sailing stones last night, and it took me a bit of hunting to find this article. I've create a couple redirects to make it a bit easier to find, but perhaps a new article is in order?

thread_title:  Project Outline 

message: Hey Jack, So it looks like you have a pretty clear idea of what you are wanting to focus on regarding the Raker Act. The sections you have planned are all solid, each one focusing on important factors ranging from socially, environmentally, and historically importance. Once you start adding to each section though you should a lot more detail to really give the readers the idea/objective behind the Raker Act and it's outcome. Definitely start putting the work in and creating these sections! Your sources so far all seem to be credible. Nothing really to critic heavily but the subject and thought put into this outline has me excited to read the finished page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sydneyberrios (talk • contribs) 04:49, 20 April 2016 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a good point.  I didn't notice until now that someone had inserted a portrait of a particular person.  It makes it look as if that's the most important or representative librettist.  Better to have a sample page from a public-domain printed libretto to show how the text is laid out.  I will try to come up with something to substitute for the existing portrait.  Mademoiselle Fifi 14:18, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Musical requirements?

message: How does the libretto of a musical differ from a "book"? Is the libretto simply the script without the songs, or does libretto refer only to the combination of the book and the lyrics? There's some confusion over how to categorize musicals: we have :Category:Musicals by lyricist, :Category:Musicals by librettist, and :Category:Musicals by author, and we're not sure when to use the librettist category.

Talk:Rancho Tehama, California

message: , you have reverted any mention of the Rancho Tehama shootings claiming there is a consensus. The consensus at Talk:Tops Friendly Markets#Buffalo edit war is about mentioning events at a single unit of a corporation in the article about that corporation wherein the location of the event (local store typically) does not have any relevance to the corporation. This does not apply to a city, community, or other location of an event and is not relevant to this article. The Tops shooting is mentioned in the Buffalo, New York, article as is most any tragic event included in the city or community article where it occurred. Fettlemap (talk) 23:22, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: How is Google Books "not relevant" for Australian political history? If "Nutty" is a noteworthy nickname for James and not just a pejorative used by his "foes", surely there is a source on the Premier of Western Australia that says so. Based on the tone used in the newspapers you're citing, I'm not convinced the book I linked got it wrong. For starters, where did he get the nickname? Secondly, where in these sources does it say "Nutty" was how he was "popularly known"? If that conclusion is from a few newspaper mentions, it's an original research conclusion. It would have to be tempered into "Some newspapers called him 'Nutty' James" but even then you can see the neutrality issues... czar 01:14, 21 December 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Alnus rubra

message: I replaced "the world's largest species of alder" by "the largest species of alder in North America and one of the largest in the world". The Alnus rubra site say the tallest A. rubra is officially 32 metres tall. The tallest measured Alnus glutinosa subsp. glutinosa in Finland is 32 metres tall (Väre, H. & Kiuru, H. 2006: Suomen puut ja pensaat (=Trees and shrubs of Finland). Metsäkustannus, Helsinki.), and in Central Europe the species grows even taller, but I haven't found information about the tallest measured specimens. In moist forests along the Caspian coast in northern Iran I have found giant specimens of A. glutinosa subsp. barbata which greatly exceed in size all the A. glutinosa subsp. glutinosa trees I have seen in Europe and also all the A. rubra trees I have seen in the Pacific Northwest of North America, but again: exact measurements are missing. I am not saying A. glutinosa is the largest alder species. But surely we have not information about world's alders enough to say A. rubra is the largest. However, it is safe to say A. rubra and A. glutinosa both are in the largest size class of the alders. Krasanen (talk) 12:19, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: "The largest in America" does not automatically mean "the largest in the world"

message: The paragraphs you added were well written. One suggestion would be to add more information specific to you plant species. I loved having the background knowledge needed to understand some things about your species but it was more general information than information specific to Alnus rubra.
	Another suggestion I have is that you could add specifically how endangered this species is. There is an official conservations list and it would be interesting to see that how threatened it is and if the need for conservation is urgent.
	The only edit I made was to a run on sentence that started out with, “Without a large amount of genetic diversity…” under the section Genetic Diversity.

message: why I deleted a quote
"fact" is not a fact unless it is documented as such; you need to provide information about the day and time of the show as well as a quotation from syler showing her saying it that other people can check for accuracy to verify it; or a newspaper article quoting the statement from the show (for example, as an alternative, if there is no transcript or podcast that one can link to so people can hear her say it). Scranton
Syler was actually fired from the Early Show before her departure in December 2006 as noted in the following quote from an interview on WGN News at Noon on April 11, 2007 while being interviewed about her new book and asked about her why she decided to have a bilateral prophylactic mastectomy:
"Yes, it really was.  It was absolutely about wanting to stay around for my children.  I had a very strong family history of breast cancer with both a mother and father with breast cancer which always gives doctors a cause for concern when it's a father.  I had my own breast disease diagnosed in 2003, hyperplasia atypia which is widely seen as a stage right before breast cancer.  And after 4 biopsies in 4 years, it just was too much.  And so I made the decision in January to have a prophylactic mastectomy.  All of this was happening as I got fired from my job on the Early Show at CBS and was having my breast removed.  And you know what, I felt like it made me stronger and I didn't know that's how strong I was."23:23, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
