Talk:Karen Briggs (musician)

message: The following phrase has been marked as "dubious": "Briggs has a natural ability to improvise in various styles of music..." I don't consider it "dubious". As to how many styles of music in which she can do this, I do not know, and whether it is "natural" I do not know, but having watched videos of a few live concerts in which Ms. Briggs has performed, it seems to me that she can improvise well. Perhaps replacing the phrase with something like "...noted for her improvisational style..." might be appropriate. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.243.155.254 (talk) 17:22, 14 July 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Controversies section relevance 

message: This paragraph in the intro
Firearms are overwhelmingly used in more defensive scenarios (self-defense and home protection) than offensive scenarios in the United States.[14][15] In 2021, The National Firearms Survey, currently the nation's largest and most comprehensive study into American firearm ownership, found that privately-owned firearms are used in roughly 1.7 million defensive usage cases (self-defense from an attacker/attackers inside and outside the home) per year across the nation, compared to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (C.D.C.) report of 20,958 homicides in that same year.[16][17][18]
conflicts with the rest of the article. The text in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_violence_in_the_United_States#Defensive_Gun_Violence has text that disproves it. 
The sources for the information in the intro paragraph seems to be in favor of guns and might not be entirely independent.

Talk:Copper gluconate

message: How much Copper gluconate is too much?
:Copper gluconate supplements typically deliver 2 mg copper per dose, one dose per day. As the copper gluconate molecule is 14% copper, this means 14.3 mg of copper gluconate. The U.S. recommended upper limit is 10 g/day for copper (European Union says 5 mg). To get to 5 would mean 36 mg copper gluconate. David notMD (talk) 23:54, 28 October 2017 (UTC)

Relatively few movies existed in 1913, and I cannot seem to find any mention of another movie named "Twister" being played in theatres at the time.  Can anyone substantiate this claim in the article and add a reference, or should it be deleted?

Talk:Château de Talcy

message: I wonder if "It was commissioned toward 1520 by Bernardo Salviati, a Florentine banker with connections to the Medici family. The château, which is imbedded in the village to one side, where the village church forms one side of the courtyard, is more Gothic in its vernacular feeling that might be expected in a structure built for an Italian at the height of the Renaissance."
Might be better as "It was commissioned in approximately 1520 by Bernardo Salviati, a Florentine banker with connections to the Medici family. The château which is located to one side of the village centre, with the church forming another side of the courtyard, is more Gothic in its vernacular feeling than might be expected in a structure built for an Italian at the height of the Renaissance". 
My french is non-existant so I'm not translating - but "imbedded in the village to one side" sounds a bit peculiar. "Gothic in its vernacular feeling" might perhaps benefit from another look - "is more Gothic in execution than might be expected......" --Mcginnly | Natter 17:51, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Al Sabo Preserve

message: Hi - 
Clawson has removed a mention of beavers in the Al Sabo Preserve article I wrote.  While I don't have citations from external sources to bolster that mention in the original article, I have the personal experience of taking a canoe upstream into the Al Sabo Preserve from nearby Atwater Millpond every spring for 12 years.  
While rare, beaver have been found in Kalamazoo County - see 
During many of those trips, I did one or two short portages over constructed dams (at 42°13'52.89"N 85°39'42.60"W and 42°13'20.73"N  85°40'46.22"W) that were clogging the outflow of the west branch of Portage Creek.  These dams were surrounded by the gnawed stumps of toppled saplings - with characteristic pointed tops.  The dams themselves ranged in width from 15' to 30', and were quite sturdy enough for me to stand on, portage a canoe over, etc.  The saplings and branches making up the dams also had the characteristic pointed ends.
This waterway is remarkably untravelled.  There are only a dozen or fewer houses on Atwater Millpond, and only two families had canoes.  There is no public access to Atwater Millpond, and a series of culvert gratings, shallow marshes, etc. isolate the waterway from upstream traffic in the boy scout camp.  
If there were to be a spot for beavers in southern Michigan, this would be it.  
While I haven't seen the beaver that created the dams, my wife (a board-certified veterinary pathologist and birdwatcher) have seen deer, muskrats, and a mink swimming from our shore to the island in the middle of the lake.  We've also seen coyotes and red fox on the winter ice, and have found the carcass of a deer eaten by coyotes within a couple hundred yards of our house.--[User:Sfjohnso|Steve Johnson]]
:Thanks for the cite, Steve. I've been hiking there for the last 20 years or so and I've never seen any gnawed stumps, but now I'm curious. Might have to hang out there next spring and keep a sharp eye out.--chris.lawson 04:24, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
