Talk:Vergée

message: The article says a vergee is a "22 foot square".  So, is tha a square with each side 22 feet long?  Or is it a square with an area of 22 square feet?
The article says that prior to metrification a french vergee was 1.011 square kilometers.
1.011 km^2 is 10,882,313 square feet.  
1.011 meters^2 is 10.9 feet^2.  --  Geo Swan 17:09, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The French figure is from :fr:Vergée. An alternative definition for the Jersey perch is a square 22 feet each side or 484 square feet. Any help with sorting this out is appreciated. Man vyi 18:18, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: careless language

message: Dubious etymology removed from article:
:a Norman word for orchard. 
Norman vergi (orchard) and vergie (vergée) coincide in form (but they are however different in gender) - both probably deriving from Latin virga. English verge for boundary derives likewise and I'd have thought that the orchard was something that was bounded (rather than the boundary deriving from the orchard). Unless, of course, anyone knows better? Man vyi 15:54, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

Talk:USS Cobia

message: The main article says that the Cobia rescued two Japanese officers who had been adrift on a raft for 40 days. This seems very unlikely, as a raft would almost certainly not have 40 days worth of fresh water and food for two people, unless it was much more than just a raft. --Zippy 17:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Union Bay (Seattle)

message: I believe that this page should be moved to more accurately reflect the subject.  "Union Bay" refers to at least one other community (with a wiki page) which is in British Columbia and, from what I understand, a textile company.  Currently users searching "Union Bay" are automatically directed to Union Bay, Washington's Wiki page, and in my opinion this is detrimental. To me it would just seem to be good form to follow the convention of "City,State". Billpeanut

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 00:07, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Now David Syndrome?

message: In Hans Hellmut Kirst's novel, The Night of the Generals, the character of General Tanz (played by Peter O'Toole in the 1967 film version) suffers some type of transfixing, violent attack while observing the 'decadent' art that the Nazis have seized. Could this be an early example of Stendahl syndrome in fiction literature? This being long before Dario Argento's 1996 film and indeed before Magherini's book itself.

Talk:German model

message: I suggest that the article Rhine Capitalism be merged into this article.  It appears to me that these two articles primarily deal with the same subject and there is a great deal of overlap.  I think that it would be better if the articles were merged, because it would consolidate the inherently information which is now scattered and split into 2 articles. Besides, this article is the more suitable place, as it uses a more widely recognized term, whereas that article uses a (fancy?) term invented by an economist in his book. Well, perhaps his book is not so notable as to deserve an article of its own (which could be the more suitable place for some of the ideas), which may be the reason for the current state of things.  Or not?  Anyway, I think that the content would fare much better if it were incorporated into this article (as its section), it would be more beneficial to the reader as well. Moreover, that article is not divided into sections and does not have a "related articles" (See also) section, which suggests that it could integrate fairly smoothly into this article.  What do you think of my proposal? --95.102.30.165 (talk) 18:35, 1 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The text says "As such, there is a lower percentage of university students in Germany when compared to other Western countries, and a much lower percentage of persons entering the workforce for on-the-job training." However, it should be mentioned that qualifications required for some academic professions in many Western countries require a non-academic vocational training in Germany. One example for a non-academic profession in Germany is Nursing.

Talk:Shield (geology)

message: Articles title should be "Shield (geology)". It's geological, not geographical term. Definition is also bad. It's absolutely not important whether the shield is in the middle of the continent or not. Important is that shield is extended area, where crystalline rocks of continental plates basement are outcropping. Siim 17:57, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I've just picked up my copy of "The New Penguin Dictionary of Geology" 2nd ed (2001) and it defines a shield as "An extensive area of exposed bedrock with long-term tectonic stability, generally of Precambrian age and forming the central core of a continent". I'm going to go ahead and add it as a reference for the first sentence, but I'll leave it as it otherwise.Therizinosaurian (talk) 00:31, 9 February 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Article title

message: I noticed that Zyzzy removed word "basement", but it was important in this article. It should be replaced with something else if this term is not preferred (I don't know exactly because English isn't my native language). Shield is large area of exposed crystalline rocks but these crystalline rocks have to be the layer of continental crust which is usually under sedimentary cover (mainly metamorphic with igneous plutons). It can't be rocks of large igneous provinces or volcanic rocks or something else. So please put this word back or replace it with something appropriate to make sure that for instance volcanic field is not a shield. Siim 19:59, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug

message: The em dash used in Russian is not used this way in English. We'd punctuate it instead as Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug / Yugra or Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (Yugra) or—if you want to use dashes—Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug – Yugra. But the Yugra part is not common in English, so per WP:COMMONNAME we should probably go with just Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (or Khanty–Mansi Autonomous Okrug if you like dashes). — kwami (talk) 20:53, 10 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Oil reserves

message: As was pointed out above 3 years ago, the numbers given in this article are obsolete.  Even worse, many or most sources of data don't use the SPE definition distinguishing "reserves" from "resources". (The academic source quoted and cited below is an exception.) Aside from the lede, reverted by User:Plazak to conform to SPE (and then clarified by me), most of the article and its tables presently present SPE "resources", but calls them "reserves". (This is exactly the sort of issue that WP should get right.) 
The data appearing in this table can be updated using this table, which contains those of both Rystad Energy from 2016, which is independent of any oil company or government, and those of BP from 2015.  It would be good to include several of these columns for comparison, as they do.  Furthermore, the bottom note below their table clarifies that their numbers represent technical reserves, not economic reserves: "including non-commercial volumes".  These data were reported by citable news sources here and here. 
A 2015 source distinguishing technical resources from economic reserves is this academic article in a prestigious peer-refereed journal.
  They provide some numbers for regions, and some individual countries, using these definitions:
 In this work ‘resources’ are taken to be the remaining ultimately recoverable resources (RURR)—the quantity of oil, gas or coal remaining that is recoverable over all time with both current and future technology, irrespective of current economic conditions. ‘Reserves’ are a subset of resources that are defined to be recoverable under current economic conditions and have a specific probability of being produced. Our best estimates of the reserves and resources are presented in Fig. 1 and, at the regional level, in Extended Data Table 1.
