Talk:Port wine

message: 1. "Until 1986 it could only be exported from Portugal from Vila Nova de Gaia near Porto, Portugal's second-largest city."
The statement, as written, is misleading. It sounds as if Vila Nova de Gaia is the second largest city in Portugal which is not the case.
2. For the "white port" section it's not clear when it was first produced and how it's stored.
3. "Colheita port should not be confused with vintage port".
This reference should be made after the "vintages" section.
4. "The earliest known reference to a style of port with this name in a merchant's list is to be found in The Wine Society's catalogue from 1964, which includes Fonseca's Quinta Milieu 1958, bottled in the UK, also in 1964."
The sentence is unclear.
5. "Unfiltered LBV will usually be improved by extra years in the bottle."
What is improved?
6. "It can age as long as Vintage Ports and are very difficult to identify as LBVs when inserted into blind tastings of Vintage Ports."
This reference should be made after the "vintages" section.
7. "Filtered LBVs can improve with age, but only to a limited degree."
What is improved?
8. "Unlike vintage port, which has to be sourced from grapes from a single vintage"
This reference should be made after the "vintages" section.
9. "The term vintage has a distinct meaning in the context of vintage port. While a vintage is simply the year in which a wine is made, most producers of vintage port restrict their production of year-labelled bottlings to only the best years, a few per decade. Contrast with second wines, where (primarily) Bordeaux producers release a year-labelled top wine almost every year, but also lesser quality wines in some years."
This is not a clear explanation.
10. I'm not sure why there is a sub-section called "vintage port" under the "style" section immediately followed by a section called "vintages". I find it redundant and not structured.
11. The image of the Kedem New York State Port is not a good one since it's cropped. The bottle should not take the entire image. I would replace it with a better image.

thread_title:  Spanish Civil War, Menorca 

message: HMS Devonshire (39) is a typical example of numerous Royal Navy ship pages citing an incomplete pennant number. The Royal Navy pennant numbering system is explained on another Wiki page. Simply quoting the number alone is daft, as a number of ships would be using the number at any one time. I suspect HMS Devonshires full pennant to be C39 during WWII. Can someone correct this annoying problem please...............--91.5.150.231 (talk) 23:40, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: If you've read this off the wikipedia page, you've apparently forgotten the detail that capital ships like aircraft carriers, battleships, cruisers, etc were not initially allocated the flag superiors, while the smaller vessels (destroyers, minesweepers, etc) were. So while Devonshire had the complete pennant number 39, the C was a later addition. Other ships also used 39 as a pennant number, but with a flag superior. So the destroyer HMS Amazon (D39) was D39, the sloop HMS Shearwater (L39) was L39. And Devonshire was just 39. Benea (talk) 23:58, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:The Scar (novel)

message: Under the "Themes and Analysis" heading there are these two sentences: "Many critics agree that Miéville's characters in The Scar mark the most significant improvement over his previous works, as they express and relate the more subtle characteristics of fear, boredom, companionship, betrayal and lust. Caught up in all its symbolism and entendre, a reader might forget that this novel is set in a fantastic universe."
While I might actually agree with this statement, it isn't really appropriate for this article unless these critics can be cited.  Who said that the "characters in The Scar mark the most significant improvement over his previous works"?  That's a pretty big claim to make without any kind of reference or citation.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.103.60.28 (talk) 11:14, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Sea of Cortez Fishery

message: This should be a section in Gulf of California, unless it's conceivable that there will be lots of links to this independently of the general Gulf article. Stan 16:08, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Depends on the length and linking, which in turns depends on energy level. Articles can go to 5,000 words before they start to seem "too long" and want to be split up. Also, at 320,000+ articles, new ones have a way of being lost in the noise and never being seen again - it's sad to see an article that hasn't been touched for two years because nobody knows it's there.  So in the fishery case you want to have links into the content, for instance from "Gulf of California", from relevant fish taxa, from general fishing topics, from articles about towns along the shore, etc. In many cases those articles won't exist; go ahead and create them even if they're short initially, they'll connect from Mexico and its sub-articles. Heavily-interlinked articles not only get more attention from within WP, but also come out closer to the top of Google searches, which is nice. Think about how you want new readers to find this info; for instance, I've done some description of types of fish, but rarely have much detail on ranges beyond "Atlantic" or "Indo-Pacific" - how do I find what species are even in the Sea of Cortez, and how they're fished? Lots of ways to connect the specialized subject into general knowledge! (Don't forget pics too, we're perennially short of illustrations that people on the other side of the planet can look at to see what things are like there.) Stan 20:58, 17 Aug 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: In no way do I want to denigrate the efforts of Sharkbait and his pals, but until this gets a lot longer, there's no reason why it shouldn't be in  Gulf of California, under some suitable subheader; that article's barely more than a stub, anyway.

message: I've followed a link here from this page and I don't want to edit without prior explanations.
"He describes it as a mixed government, a commonwealth, and states that all commonwealths are of mixed character."
* This present text is misleading. He classes as a commonwealth pretty much anything that constitutes a society ("A common wealth is called a society or common doing of a multitude of free men collected together and united by common accord and covenauntes among themselves, for the conservation of themselves aswell in peace as in warre.", ff., in book 1, chapter 10), and then says that all are to some degree mixed. 
* This version is also misleading; he does not use the English word republic at all - respublica is used twice: once in the title, in the sense of 'state', being a back-translation of commonwealth, which he uses in this sense, or simply 'constitution', and once in a quotation from Cicero. The phrase "true commonwealth" does not appear and I have no idea where this is from. QEI is mentioned twice: in the subtitle and again in paragraph two of book 3, chapter 9 - in both cases introducing her as the author's royal employer. The diff's wording suggests there was something particularly significant about her reign, which is not borne out by the text.
Neither of the versions reflect at all the major content of the book, which is an outline of the various classes and positions and a commentary on the laws of the the land, and I propose to change the book summary to reflect this.
He's also mentioned briefly here. I'm currently wondering if Queens' has any archives they'll let me use. Presumably, he was a classics fellow, though I doubt the faculty will have much information. --Nema Fakei 11:14, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fundamentals of Engineering exam

message: The article states that you must pass both morning and afternoon sections independently, but I don't think this is true -- or it varies state by state. I took the test in April in Ohio, and your overall score determined whether you passed. There were 120 questions in the morning worth 1 point each, and 60 questions in the afternoon worth 2 points each. So you needed a minimum of roughly 50% of the 240 total points in order to pass. You could probably answer every morning question right and miss every afternoon question and still pass.

replies: text: No, because in 1904 there was no rule compelling them to play a World Series. For 1905, the Giants themselves participated in drafting rules to standardize the Series and to also make participation compulsory. So, for example, if the A's had decided in 1905 that they didn't want to face the Giants, the Giants might have been declared winners by forfeit. However, the Series is about money, so there was no chance of that happening. Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 19:36, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Having already announced they wouldn't play the AL winner (when they thought it might be New York), it probably would have looked fishy if they said, "OK, it's Boston, so we'll play." The Giants' refusal may have actually been a good thing, as it brought the Series under the management of MLB itself rather than the individual clubs, which is what helped sink the Series in the 1880s. →Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots 11:54, 2 October 2009 (UTC)
