thread_title:  Sections needed 

message: Article claims these first appeared in 1960's or something but i would say that is pretty incorrect, and that missile silos were first dreamt up in the 1940's with the german missile bunkers in france for V-2's. True, because number of reasons these never went operational, but the general idea was there.

replies: text: The V2 sites (such as at Watten) were more underground launch complexes rather than silos. A silo houses one missile and is self-contained. The term itself come from its similarity to grain silos.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.40.251.36 (talk) 19:36, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: ABS Data

message: I've changed the Wikidata sitelink for this article from  (the "city" which is not the same as the LGA) to  (the suburb) because it seems from the language used in the article that it really is about the suburb. Actually, I'm a bit confused about the difference between the "city" and the suburb — the former is I guess the general idea of Joondalup, and probably extends beyond the boundaries of the suburb and maybe also doesn't include all of the suburb. I'm not really sure how to resolve that (and other similar LGA-cities like Fremantle), but as the intro sentence says that "Joondalup is a suburb of Perth", I think it's reasonably clear. Sam Wilson 12:51, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Makes sense. It's another one of these cases where we've got an article on a place that has a specific locality or localities but also has a broader conglomeration that doesn't necessarily align with those boundaries. Usually, it winds up with the article covering the conglomeration, and a separate article for the individual locality; here, it might not be needed because the boundaries of the "city" (rather than the LGA) beyond the gazetted suburb boundaries are vague.

Talk:Intermittent claudication

message: These signs are more specific to arterial disease in general than intermittent claudication. Intermittent claudication occurs intermittently - when walking. I'll update the definition to reflect that. We should consider removing most of these general signs of arterial disease or amending that section to reflect that....
In addition to what the person above has said; the P's are (poor) signs for an acute occlusion rather than the chronic course of intermittent claudication.

I'm dubious about leaving the Jargon File as the principle reference, as it exists in many forks and versions and contains much "myth" and "folklore". It lacks proper sourcing and dates to provide context and verifiability.

Talk:Tucson, Arizona/Archive 2

message: I've lived in Tucson since I was born here in 1981. I don't see the piont of all this bickering about inclusion of 'Chuk Shon' in the article.  Chuk Shon should be included somewhere, probably within an explanation of the origin of Tucson's name, though not misleading the reader into believing that Tucson is commonly also refered to as Chuk Shon. I think it's fine the way it is. If this explanation belongs in Wikitionary, just include a link to it.
I have seen Tucson also spelled 'Tuxon', in a lowrider bike(bicycle) documentary i saw on Access Tucson. 
--worm
:I don't see what's so misleading about it - it says (Tohono O'odham: Cuk Ṣon), not (also known as Cuk Ṣon).
:While you, an English speaker, may never have heard anybody refer to it as Cuk Ṣon, this is a second name for it more common than Tuxon (and is different in pronunciation as well as spelling), although not among English speakers. If you don't believe it is a "common second name", you can call Ofelia Zepeda at the number I gave above (a local number). --Node 00:33, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I should probably add that this isn't just something I've read in a book, I have actually heard people refer to it by this name, and this name is used by over 35000 people which, when compared with the population of the city itself, is significant. If I stop on I-10 just outside of Phoenix, there is a gas station where I can stop and when I come in, the clerk - who is an O'odham - might ask "bap do hi?" and I can say "Cuk Ṣon ui". In Casa Grande, I might meet an O'odham at an outlet store, and I could ask them "bap do api ki?" and the reply might be "Añi añ am ki Cuk Ṣon". On the road to Nogales, I might ask an O'odham family heading the opposite direction "bap do hihi?" and the response might be "Cuk Ṣon ui". The O'odham language is one of only a couple dozen native American languages from north of Mexico that is growing in number of speakers rather than shrinking. Often at a walmart you may think somebody is speaking Spanish, but if you don't know Spanish they might be speaking O'odham, if you do speak Spanish then they probably aren't because you'd not think it was spanish :p --Node 00:39, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)

text: personally, i agree with you. in the interests of appeasing a very very very passionate person on the subject of native american place names (mesa, tucson, etc) i've decided to work towards a compromise that prevents a simple injection of Chuk Shon into the first paragraph without any explanation whatsoever.  i think the compromise replacement for the introduction is pretty good at doing that.  do you have any thoughts for improving it?  thanks.  --ABQCat 09:07, 13 Dec 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Criticism in the Telegraph 

message: Reading some literature, I stumbled upon the paper "Trustworthy maps" in the peer reviewed Journal of Spatial Information Science. I'm looking into how it could be incorporated, but thought I'd share. Relevant text states:
:"There are many maps of coronavirus case or death counts and/or rates.  If one does a Google search on “coronavirus map”, the first result is a map from Wikipedia (Figure 1).The dataset underpinning this map also comes from Wikipedia, and is a mashup of source sof highly varied levels of authority and reliability.  Wikipedia, moreover, can be edited by anyone,  so  the  data  quality  can  vary  depending  on  who  has  contributed  the  edit,  their knowledge of reliable sources, and (sometimes) on their politics or other motivations.  In fact, when inspecting the edit history for the Wikipedia page whose information is fed into this map, it was not hard to find one such instance (Figure 2). Although any errors or edits made with political or mischievous motivations may be corrected quickly by other editors, anyone inspecting the map at a particular point in time may be looking at unreliable in-formation, meaning that the trustworthiness of the information as well as the information itself varies dynamically. If one accepts that Wikipedia’s data may not be sufficiently trustworthy, where can one find more authoritative, if slightly less timely, data?  Figure 3 is a map published by the World Health Organization (WHO). Although it may also suffer from data quality issues such as different data reporting practices in different countries, it only includes cases that meet the WHO case definition, a data quality standard set by the WHO."
