Talk:Furan

message: I don't understand the part "in a similar way to which a carbon-carbon double bond is in benzene". What is the omitted verb after "is"?
I think it means there is a carbon-carbon double bond in Benzene, similar to the one in Furan. Of course I don't know what any of that means.
The structures are mislabelled as tetrahydrofuran
Furan is certainly not aromatic. The doubles bonds are only conjugated. See Huekel's Rule.
:Furan is aromatic - two double bonds plus one of the two lone pairs from the oxygen atom meet Huckel's rule.  --Ed (Edgar181) 11:29, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Chemistry

message: Some time ago there was a discussion about the number of articles that should have a place in the chemistry category. I suggested that the number should stay below 150 and there was some consensus. Now we have a tag suggesting no articles should be in chemistry and indeed most articles have been relocated to subcats. I do not understand why. What is wrong about selecting the top-150 key articles (excluding portal articles like organic chemistry or analytical chemistry) that would explain everything you need to know about chemistry. I would suggest articles like periodic table, covalent bond, chemical equilibrium and so on. By the nature of these articles (concepts well established) I would expect not a lot of mutations in these articles especially as they will become featured. Also note that the physics cat does not bother with this tag, biology does but contains many more articles, so there is no consensus in the overall sciences. Chemistry is not an empty science.

Talk:Greater Poland Voivodeship

message: I think it would be better to title the "counties" as "Powiat"s. Instead of "Mogilno county", the daughter article should be "Mogilno powiat". This might eliminate a few rare duplications with some other article, but it also self-describes the article as being about a Polish land region.

"(who gutted this article and why? I restored essential information and added a disambiguation)" Answer: WLKP, who I suspect is also known as "PolishPoliticians" before that and last as "Grand Duke of Poznan". This person comes on evey month or so with a new name and spends about a day making about 100 page changes, mostly to remove traces of the German history and references, or to add material that gives unrealistical importance/treatment to a Polish-pride view of history. Thanks for fixing it, I didn't go back far enough in the history to see the true story and just fixed the part that affected pages that I'm watching. Suggest you add the Poznan Voiviodship to your diambiguation, I think that it could often be confused with this article also. Bwood 01:09, 5 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Neuro cybernetics

message: * Someone with a strong familiarity of wikipedia its style and its coherence may please shape this article up in order to make it match to wikipedia in style (that is hopefully a strong technical language and the omittance of uncertain or superfluous information) --Slicky 17:39, Sep 23, 2004 (UTC)

thread_title:  Messages 

message: computational neuroscience is ultimately one of the fields that will have to be matured and progressed far enough to further advances in terms of applications of neuro cybernetics but is essentially something completely different than neuro cybernetics. They all clearly are subject to neurology though and as such could be seen as subgroups or branches of this discipline!
Also it is usually referred to as neuro cybernetics or bio cybernetics ( i dunno if there really is a difference; at first guess i would say the first is more microscopic and not necessarily restricted to living / macroscopic organisms, neither would be the latter but it implies a certain tedency towards the application in higher organisms). When doing research search always for both as both are essentially underlying the same fundamentals.Slicky 17:53, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Tianjin dialect

message: Fellow Wikipedians,
I obtained this information about the Tianjin accent (DF08 edit, creation of article as a stub) from a friend who travels back and forth from Beijing to Tianjin. I've also been to Tianjin a fair number of times. I disclose what I've written -- but it may be that some of this contains faults, so feel more than free to tweak the article as you see fit and as it fits in with the facts.
--DF08 11:11, Sep 21, 2004 (UTC)
Hi, my father and his family were originally from Tianjin. They still speak Tianjinese amongst each other, so I often have the chance to listen. Here are some characteristics that you seem to have left out, but I am not sure on their accuracy:
-The lack of 捲舌音 (similar to Taiwan Mandarin) so that zhi shifts to zi, shi shifts to si, chi shifts to ci, and ALSO, ri shifts to yi (so 讓 > 樣 & 人>"yen2")
-Certain null initial words get replaced with n-initial, such as 愛ai4 become 奈nai4.
-餓e4 becomes wo4臥.. I don't see a pattern to this change, only that 餓 is read with the original syllable of 我..
Also, here's a reference to the Tianjin dialect's tone sandhi that I found that was quite useful:
http://aune.lpl.univ-aix.fr:16080/~sprosig/tal2004/tal2004-Beijing/Davison.pdf
1-1 > 3-1 || 天Tian1 津Jin1 > Tian3 Jin1
3-3 > 2-3 (similar to Mandarin's tone sandhi)
1-4 > 2-4 || 上shang1 班ban4 
4-4 > 1-4 || 政zheng4 治zhi4 > "整"zheng3 治zhi4 (I have not heard this pattern at all in our family's speech, so take it with a grain of salt).

message: I wish to add (or get someone else to add) a section on inline SVG, and its usage for application interfaces, so I'm just testing the water to see if anyone objects. This usage differs from "SVG files" in two main ways: firstly, inline SVG (i.e. embedded in an HTML document) allows HTML elements and SVG elements to be combined to produce a richer UI, sharing CSS and event handling (e.g. see SVG-FTG), and secondly the security risks associated with "SVG files" (i.e. being accidentally treated as image files when they're really document files) is not applicable to inline SVG because you're already using a document.TonyP (talk) 19:50, 22 January 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Voivodeships of Poland

message: Let us start with 'świętokrzyskie - the Świętokrzyskie Province'. This is how the name is spelled on the map at the top of the actual page, complete with a Polish letter.
Next we should consider Gdansk/Gdańsk and the battle that took place on that page between Polish and German editors, the latter who wanted it to be Danzig.
I have seen the arguments about which encyclopedias use outdated names, presumably still using data from the 19th century when Poland as a country did not exist. However, Poland does exist and has certainly existed since the very early 1920s, and if they have been too lazy to update their records then that is their problem - not ours.
I have lived in Lublin, which is a city according to the maps and road signs, in Lubelskie voivodeships. Yes, in Polish they could both be written as Lublin and Lubleskie etc. but Polish grammar does not work in the same way as English grammar.
Now if we examine the Polish language wikipedia then we can see how many times the voivodeship map (https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wojew%C3%B3dztwo) has been redrawn over the past 120 years, and yet still we hang onto a set of Germanic names and insufficient consideration of Polish grammar and of the needs of Polish people living in Poland today.
