message: I'm soliciting someone's interest in creating a link to A-lyric.com News about song lyrics and the people that write them. I've been running a news site about lyrics and lyricists since 2001. Although I quote from lyrics, this is pretty much the opposite of other cut'n'paste lyric sites.

Talk:Gaff

message: I've moved, and revised by adding edit-hist info & reformatting, the following to this talk page, from the article's comment where i initially placed it:
:The following dict-def item (contributed primarily by User:Ryaskgoldengryph at 21:56, 17 July 2007) could become a Dab entry IF and WHEN there is a corresponding article that *mentions* gaffs, AND includes encyclopedic information on gaffs (in this sense of "gaff"): 
:: * Gaff, metal spike worn on the inner sides of each foot of a lineman (occupation) or other climber of poles or trees
: Note: There is mention of gaffs used in this sense in the Utility poles#Access article
Someone who presumably chose to disregard that restored a version of that entry; i've left it in place, modified in compliance with the red-and-blue-link format, which serves to inform savvy users (and hints it to others) that there is no encyclopedic treatment of climbing gaffs at the blue-linked article.--Jerzy•t 06:50, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Tulip festival

message: Hey, isn't the "Keukenhof" missing, a festival in the Netherlands?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.238.145.225 (talk) 20:32, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

message: So how exactly is a title like that decided and who exactly decides? The festival in Ottawa, Canada has only(!) one million tulips on display while Holland, Michigan displays up to SIX million. Of course, Ottawa gets more visitors since it is a much larger urban area than Holland, MI with more hotels and infrastructure. But then again, Ottawa's festival just filed for bankruptcy protection while Holland's offers many more individual events. I suggest removing Ottawa's claim to "The World's Largest Tulip Festival".
Todo suggestions:
*place in context of floral festivals in general - create categories
*add reference to Bataille de fleurs in Nice (first modern floral festival), or put in new umbrella flower festival article
*expand Ottawa section (original 100,000 bulb gift from Juliana, twinning with other festivals, technical details etc)
*add Tonami Tulip Fair (Japan)
*add Skagit Valley Tulip Festival (USA)

thread_title: article

message: I've recently created a disambiguation page at 'Gybe', since it references two particularly different subjects and is used as a search term for both. As such, I've followed the what-links-to for 'Gybe' and edited all the references to it in this article to now be 'jibe' instead, and updated the links to point to 'Jibe' instead. I'm not particularly nautical but I've found the term 'jibe' in use over 'gybe' so I thought this would be acceptable. If not, I guess you can pipe gybe references to 'jibe', or contact me and sort something out. Cheers! Harmonica 06:18, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:William Hall (governor)

message: The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress has some points in its biography of Hall which contradict the official Tennessee Blue Book.  The material in the Congressional version is more in keeping with the biography published by the Memphis State University Press, and also makes more sense in one instance: the Blue Book verison has has Hall achiving the rank of Brigadier General in the Creek War prior to his election to the state House for the first time when he was only 23.  While possible, the idea that he was made such in the War of 1812 after his service in the state House (and before his service in the state Senate) makes much more sense.

message: I've replaced the unsuitable lk to Signature with one to John Hancock#Famous signature. Especially if this violates the normal prohibition on multiple lks to the same "place" in the same Dab, it may make sense to break that section out as John Hancock's signature, since among users of the existing article, the few interested in his bio as a bio will consider the sig obstructively over-prominent, and the many interested in the sig will consider it annoyingly lost in material irrelevant to them. --Jerzy•t 22:06, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

message: The following statement is unclear:
:Sulfonamide drugs are structurally similar to PABA, and their antibacterial activity is due to their ability to interfere with the conversion of PABA to folate by the enzyme dihydropteroate synthetase.  Thus, bacterial growth is limited through folate deficiency without effect on human cells.
Yes, sulfa drugs inhibit bacteria growth by causing the bacteria to be folate deficient.  But how can that not also cause human cells to be folate deficient?  And if human cells are not folate deficient because humans eat green leafy vegetables that supply folate to the humans, would that not also supply folate to the bacteria, thereby neutralizing any deficiency caused by the sulfa drugs?  This needs an explanation with reliable reference. Greensburger (talk) 02:01, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
