Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/StuffOfInterest 2

message: Last 5000.Voice-of-All 18:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

message: The correct title of this page should be Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/StuffOfInterest, without the number 2. If there are no objections over this, I would be moving this page soon. --Siva1979Talk to me 19:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Hmm, that had an interesting side effect.  When I went to edit "question 4" the edit button from the main WP:RfA page took me to a blank editor screen.  It appears having a transclude to a redirect causus some oddness with the edit button.  I've fixed it by fixing the transclude, but I wonder if this would count as a bug in the MediaWiki software? --StuffOfInterest 11:26, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Is it correct, that bivalents have at least 1 cross over? According to Essential Cell Biology (Alberts et al.), they don't need to have a cross over. Can we have a citation for the defenition? Some of the earliest version from 2013 also stated that bivalents are just 2 chromosomes (4 chromatids) held together by a complex: nothing about any cross over? None of the later citated sources contain any actual definition of bivalents, they just mention them in a context to other subjects? Benj5378 (talk) 16:32, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:The Pelican Brief (film)

message: "The book's subplot of romantic tension between Shaw and Grantham is conspicuously absent from the film, reportedly because of Washington's refusal to have a kiss scene with Julia Roberts, although Roberts had been the one pressuring producers to cast Washington as her co-star."
If this is true, a verifiable citation is needed. Shannernanner 12:23, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Firstly, no verifiable citation is needed.   Many people have read the book and also seen the movie.   Thus, It becomes self-evident, this fact of the movie omitting the romantic tension beween the two characters.   If this issue is added to the article, then it should include some statement asserting the overall undertones of the final scene.   Grantham is on TV, and grins when questioned about Shaw being "too good to be true."  And then they cut to Shaw in a house watching Grantham on the TV, and she grins, when she sees Grantham on the TV grinning.   This is the only hint in the entire movie to any sub-plot from the book, of any romantic tension.  Marc S. Dania Fl 206.192.35.125 (talk) 16:14, 28 June 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Strange, I don't think it's really missing, just subtle. It seems that the scene showing them both in their beds trying to sleep was meant to help convey this tension, as well the lantern they hang on their hug at the airport. Also obviously the scene that is mentioned above with the shared smile. I get the impression from the film they have a deep connection and a very close friendship, that might turn into something more if they ever make it out of this mess. Plus, the notes on this page imply more of the epilogue is in the book than in the movie, but the movie interview with Grey doesn't appear to be more than a few weeks or months after the article is published. While Grey might join Darby where she is eventually, and likely would at least visit even if there is no romantic connection, right now there is way too much still going on for him to do so.

Talk:English Collective of Prostitutes

message: This article needs verification from external sources.
An earlier edit described this as an organization of English prostitutes: I seem to recall reading somewhere that the ECP was "not a membership organization". It certainly has spokespersons who make speeches and write letters to the press, and people who turn up to meetings, but it's unclear how many actual prostitutes are involved in this organization: most information about it comes from its own spokespeople. 
Currently, the only references provided are from the ECP's own website, and that of a sister organization: it would be nice to have cites from unaffiliated sources: see WP:RS. -The Anome 12:54, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: Given that I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night, I doubt I could locate the 2004 source again!

text: Thanks . The important thing in that article, I think, is "Thus, the total goldfield population, exclusive of Coromandel, Kennedy's Bay, Ohinemuri, and the various sawing stations, appears to be 12,496 ; but we think that at least 15,000 may be set down as the gross total." This acknowledgement that the actual counts are not very accurate certainly lends credibility to the population having been 18,000 two years earlier. Would the 2,500 difference be the Māori population? If no further information can be found, I'll add this to the article, and partially reinstate the claim as "Thames was the one of the largest centres of population in New Zealand at the end of the 1860s, with an estimated population of 15,000 in 1870." -gadfium 04:20, 7 December 2020 (UTC)

message: It truly is nobody's fault, but a series of innocent mistakes have brought about something of a Wiki-discussion perfect-storm of confusion. I intend a two-track remedy, reflected in two "outermost" boxes:
:   The contents of the pink box that encloses several levels of other boxes is a version where all the text is kept in the same order it had originally been placed in, but a small amount of objectively false info is pointed out and put into its proper (and innocent) context.   The contents of the green box make the same factual correction, but also correct for an instance of raising an off-topic point within a discussion, and for an instance of responding to that off-topic point, still within the same discussion. (I let that stand in the pink box, for the benefit of anyone who wishes to confirm the accuracy of my "refactoring" -- inside the green box -- of the two logically separate but intermingled discussions, including integrating part of one discussion with a contribution, on the same topic, made by a separate editor in a separate section.

replies: text:     I tried some Google research, but without success.    My opinion is that any skating "move" where you turn in place gets called a spiral, and the lighter partner in any death spiral evokes the image that she is dead or helpless, and the heavier partner is attempt to rescue her or at least retrieve her body for a decent burial, against the force of a whirlpool or whirlwind (both forms of three-dimensional_spiral, by the way) or figurative (e.g. spiritual) vortex that threatens to pull her irretrievably away. I dunno how skaters exit from the various death spirals (a really good WP article on this topic would tell us the options), but isn't it easy to imagine the performance ending with her inert on the ice?   That said, it would be worthwhile to know what the OED has to say about death spiral. Just guessing (tho i continue to insist that no further explanation is needed), with 1928 rather than ~1904 as the presumed year of naming, aircraft death spiral is eminently plausible as the original, and all the other senses being metaphors evoking it -- especially with the finish normally being a dramatic, if figurative, "resurrection".Jerzy•t 05:23, 13 July 2013 (UTC)
