Wikipedia talk:Submission Standards (a)

message: Looks fairly good. The nature section has a problem for non-US contributors, who need to use a license to upload things which are fair use in the US. Not really keen on a requirement to give the fair use factors every time, since some  things are obvious and a requirement invites those who dislike fair use to delete things which are fair use simply because they don't understand fair use or don't want fair use. A request for fair use factors and requirement for a source identification would be more helpful when it comes to sorting out the actual status of some contribution in the range of English-speaking jurisdictions the Wikipedia appears in.

# He would later join the elite Delta Force and assist in the rescue of some American citizens who were taken as hostages by Iran in 1979. (No, he didn't and he has NEVER so claimed. Whoever wrote that is wrong.)
# He is also the founding member of an organization that, according to a Discovery Channel documentary, is so secretive that not even the United States government knows its mailing address, and that operates like a real-life Mission Impossible organization.  (Some peripheral truth to this.)

Talk:Jeet Kune Do

message: Greetings Fellow Wikipedians,
I'm being bold and making the following edits:
1. Consolidating the editing templates into a multiple issues template
2. Replacing the tone template with the copy edit template which encompasses tone and other issues. Doing this will also flag the article for the Copy Editor's Guild to pick up if I am unable to complete all the editing, which I expect to be the case because of the other issues I'll note in a moment.
3. Adding an original research template. I'm reading numerous statements in this article in which the author says certain things such as "Lee felt" or "Lee believed" which are then not backed up with outside analysis drawing the same conclusion the author makes. That is original research and it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. I believe the original research needs to be corrected and in doing so, the tone of the article would necessarily change. I am not knowledgeable enough about this topic to redo all the research; an expert may be needed. The article overall seems very informative and well researched but it reads like personal research essay instead of an encyclopedia article. Because of the depth of the research present, I am not comfortable simply removing the content which appears to be unsourced because the original research seems to woven into the structure of the article itself.
I will read through the rest of the article to look for general copy editing opportunities and add any additional notes I think may be useful for you in this space. Curdigirl (talk) 06:09, 16 March 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Track gauge

message: Previously today I read in a Wikipedia article that the ideas that governments selected track gauge with military defense in mind and that narrower gauges allow for tighter turning radiuses are misconceptions. This paragraph states both. What is the real story?Fearga (talk) 21:59, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Conflicting Information in Paragraph "Gauge selection in other countries" 

message: As I interpret the section on minimum-gauge, it is defined as "smaller than 2 ft, which equals 610 mm".  I would rather say "smaller than 2 ft or 600 mm".  In Sweden and, I think, other European countries, there were numerous 600 mm railways built.  They had a small gauge, but were not regarded "minimum".  Some were by the Decauville design, with light and pre-fabricated pieces, while others were regularly built railways.  Fomalhaut76 (talk) 17:10, 4 August 2020 (UTC)

thread_title:  Narrow gauge 

message: See Openrailwap permalink 1 in Lille where one metro one line seems to be dual track (1435 mm / 1620 mm) while the other line is only 1620 mm. These are Rubber-tyred metro's where tyres run on metal bands wich are 1620 mm apart. Line two has been build without the normal gauge guiding rails. Example: :File:Lille Metro Quatre Cantons - Grand Stade empty train 2.jpg
The other 1620 mm railway line is Orly Val: Openrailwap permalink 2. Should we treat this as a 1620 mm track gauge or explain the situation with Rubber-tyred metro's. Luckely there are no other gauges with Rubber-tyred metro's.Smiley.toerist (talk) 12:59, 9 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Diene

message: What's the difference between allenes and cumulated dienes? From the description, it looks like they're the same thing. Anyone know enough chemistry to clear this one up? Grendelkhan 07:52, 2004 Apr 22 (UTC)
:Allene is an archaic, non-systematic, name for propadiene that is still allowed by IUPAC, similar to ethylene/ethene.  Propadiene (really techinally propa-1,2-diene) is the simplest comulated alkadiene, so it's common name is sometimes used by the entire group of comulated alkadienes, although this should be avoided because of possible ambiguation. 
:On a different note, this article really should reside at alkadiene, as that's the IUPAC approved name for this class of chemicals, with Diene as a redirect. Gentgeen 10:54, 14 May 2004 (UTC)

message: Linoleic acid should be removed from the second image. Linoleic acid contains oxigen atoms, hence it doesn't belong to the group of dienes. — Assaiki (talk) 06:08, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The article makes several mentions of the broader concept of "diene" as any structure containing two alkene units. Fatty-acids and their biosynthesis are mentioned in . Most (or at least many) Diels–Alder dienes () are functionalized with electron-donating groups such as oxygen or nitrogen. And ROMP () includes fairly complex non-hydrocarbon molecules that just happen to have two separate alkenes. I adjusted the lede to note that "diene" itself might be a hydrocarbon but it could be a substructure of a more complex (unrestricted) molecule. DMacks (talk) 07:04, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Outline of critical theory

message: I deleted the mention of a "full list of critical theory topics" since such a list doesn't exist, will probably be impossible to complete and is unecessary when the topic list is still this short. We can bring it back when we need to. I also deleted some of them theorists. Presumably the theorists listed here should be limited to the most important and influential scholars so thats what I tried to keep. That said there are certainly people who know this stuff better than I do so if you think someone on the list shouldn't be on it or someone else should just make the change.--Jsn4 16:47, 4 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Straw poll and discussion concerning what outlines should be called 

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:04, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Talk:History of the Scots language

message: The article claims that "As a consequence of the outcome of the Wars of Independence though, the English-speaking people of Lothian who lived under the King of Scots had to accept Scottish identity."
This cannot be true as in John Barbours poem "The Brus" the soldiers make a statement (put into English)
For doubt of death we shall not fail
No no pain shall refused be
Unitl we have made our country free.'
