Talk:Flat

message: A flat can also be, in agriculture and gardening, a small wooden or plastic box filled with seed starter or special soil in which seeds are germinated and grown as seedlings, until they are transplanted outdoors.
What about flats on semiconductor wafers?
What about "false flats"
A graph is referred to as being flat if it's possible to arrange all the verticies on a plane in a way such that no edges overlap.
A flat is also a (usually 12"x12" or other square) two-sided promotional ad that bands (well, record labels) send to music stores to promote albums  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.165.225.101 (talk) 22:43, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Disambiguation? 

message: We have "flat" on this page meaning "a residential house or apartment."  I've only ever heard of it referring to an apartment, but apparently there is some sort of house that qualifies.  I'm not sure what a "residential house" is, though.  Here in the states, if it's a house, it's residential, or rather the area where houses are is called a "residential area."  I did some looking around on the internet and there seems no clue what kind of houses would be called flats instead of houses.  But this page is what sent me looking so I guess it is not a mistake (the suggestion is that flats lack yards, although so do apartments, and I would guess they only have one floor but that is guessing).  Of course being slang it's not in wiktionary, and many online British to American dictionaries of slang apparently omit "flat" as being too common to bother with.  Strange.

thread_title:  Imperator? 

message: So in 1939, one Classicist showed that this was just a modern myth or misunderstanding of the sources; when did this myth first emerge? The title of Jean-Léon Gérôme's painting shows that this belief was common by the 1850s -- but did it become a common belief in the earlier 19th century? Or the 18th century, when a renewed interest in the Classical World burst forth? Or perhaps even earlier? (FWIW, I looked through the obvious parts of Edward Gibbon's influential work, but failed to find any allusion to it. Which doesn't mean anything; his Decline & Fall is a lengthy work, & he might have explicitly alluded to this saying in a less obvious passage unrelated to the first centuries of the Roman Empire.) -- llywrch (talk) 06:07, 16 April 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/Somitho

message: A good number of my opposes seem to be related to what people determine are personal attacks directed to Chacor, so I am going to take a moment to clear that up.
When I made the edit, I had no intent on attacking Chacor personally, or attacking anyone at all. I have since made apologies within the statement, on Chacor's talk page, within my RfA and directly on IRC. I have no grudges against Chacor, and am not attacking, or trying to attack him at all. 
This issue is simply this:
*I made a statement showing my disappointment to the reaction following an RfA, in which Chacor was involved. I stated that I had thought Chacor had gotten an attitude, I was wrong. This statement was interpreted as a personal attack, which it was NEVER meant to be. I again apologize to Chacor, for it being interpreted as such.
*I made a sincere apology, which no one has questioned the sincerity of my apology.
*People have said, I was heated during the edit. This is not correct, I was disappointed in the way it (the RfA) was being handled, but not heated.
*This was not a personal attack, which I apologized for. It was never meant to be even misunderstood as one. The apology was for Chacor interpreting it as an attack.
I hope I have cleared up a few issues. Somitho 19:23, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Fossil Cycad National Monument

message: I don't know enough of cycads to make an athoritative article here, but I did notice some innacuracies in describing cycads. First of all, cycads were described as "fern-like". This comparison should only be used carefully, since it seems to suggest cycads are related to ferns. (They are not.) Second, the article, near the end, speaks of cycad fruits and flowers. Cycads, being coniferous, cannot have flowers, nor can they have fruits, I believe. (Although their seeds can be encased in what looks rather like a fruit.) Yew arils are confused similarly. I don't know the proper terminology for cycad seeds, but by flowers, I assume the source meant male and female cones. Vlmastra 21:56, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/ForrestLane42

message: I just wanted to say that I agree that "counterbalance" can be a good thing for an article like the one on Ken Wilber, but I don't think that ForrestLane42 has what it takes to play an effective counterbalancing role. As virtually everyone seems to agree, he's unnecessarily rude and aggressive, but I think more importantly he doesn't have a proper understanding of Wilber's work or anything "spiritual" and so is all too frequently unable to take part in a proper discussion of the issues. He also frequently seems unable to focus on the issue at hand and continues to debate points that are largely irrelevant to the actual editing of the article.  (And then, of course, there is the issue of policy violations....)
Personally, I think there are already enough editors of the Wilber page (and all things "integral") who aren't (entirely) pro-Wilber to provide the needed counterbalance to the pro-Wilber camp and that ForrestLane42's influence is almost entirely unnecessary and most certainly unnecessarily distracting. --Grey 14:09, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
