thread_title:  Rename proposal for this page and all the pages of the set this page belongs to 

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)

replies: text: I was wondering about that too. A search on Memory Alpha turns up nothing, which indicates that it probably doesn't come from canon. Since the same user seems to have put the same term on the the Klingon Empire (Star Fleet Universe) page, I'm wondering if that might be the Klingon name for the Holdfast, given in PD Klingons (which I don't have).

People of Goryeo did not show people of Balhae as foreigners but rather saw them as distanced cousins. This is visible when Goryeo accepted refugees from Balhae as many as they can, and even today only Korea have Balhae's nobility surnames. --Korsentry 02:47, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

message: Office 2.0 now redirects to online office suite (the subject of the term itself, which is credited to Ismael Ghalimi accordingly). I have also created an Office 2.0 Conference article as this one was essentially just a dupe of online office suite with some external links to the conference site; that way the conference (certainly notable enough) will get the attention it deserves without causing confusion here. I also considered a disambiguation page, but going for a redirect since it's a partial title match. samj (talk) 09:22, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Oliver Ames High School

message: I think you should have just protected this page rather than block that IP address. Many people use it and it is not fair to them that they can't do it because of one person. While they can mess up many pages, if they are only targeting particular pages, those page should be protected rather than left open since the block for an IP address can only be temporary(maybe except open proxies) and they will just do it again when they get unblocked. All a blocking does is anger users who can't edit pages because of a few vandals(apparently it was just the same individual over and over again). —Preceding unsigned comment added by You're The Man Now Dog (talk • contribs) 18:06, November 28, 2006
:Sorry, standard operating procedure is to block an IP address when its misbehaving; the protection policy is clear about the level of vandalism necessary before an article will be locked.  The good news is that most times when an IP address is blocked, it is blocked for anonymous edits only.

thread_title: Choreographer

message: I would propose different etymology of Sirtaki (Συρτάκι). For me this word is of Irano-Baltic origin, cf. Armenian sirt, Latvian sirds 'heart' and Latvian tik(i) - tak(i) 'tick - tock', takts 'rhythm', sirds tákt ī 'in the rhythm of the heart', and the measure of this dance really is in the rhythm of the heart, - initially slower and then faster and faster like heart beating! The Greek origin of Sirtaki is questionable because of non-greek ending ι (not oι or η !). Roberts7 15:00, 18 October 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Dentate gyrus

message: I just finished reading an article that implies that there is no correlation between cortisol and neurogenesis in the dentate gyrus, which is directly contradictory to what the wiki article says. (Thomas, Urban, Peterson, "Acute exposure to predator odor elicits a robust increase in corticosterone and a decrease in activity without altering proliferation in the adult rat hippocampus." Experimental Neurology Issue 201 (2006): 308-315.) Update the article to at least reflect that this is an open question?
----
We need to have the function of the gentate gyrus in the main page.
----
The corticosterone-neurogenesis discussion would be better suited for the adult neurogenesis page. Still, corticosterone is one of the best-identified negative regulators of adult neurogenesis. I'll read the paper but it's not that open of a question.
I'm planning on doing a major edit of this page since it's pretty weak. But I need to hone my wikipedia skills first.
