message: It's not at all clear from reading the stub and following the outgoing links whether this is an actual, or believed to be actual, ancient text, a legendary text mentioned in ancient literature, or an invention attributed to Early Modern mystics. With all due to respect to those who practice contemporary religions based on Early Modern mysticism, this shouldn't be too difficult to clarify, and I don't think that willful ambiguation is helpful to anyone.71.67.121.153 (talk) 02:51, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Theoretical chemistry

message: I think the new edits are not really in line with the editorial line which ruled up to now.  Whether this editorial line is a good thing can of course be discussed (see Talk:Quantum chemistry and Talk:Computational chemistry).  
*Theoretical Chemistry: All theoretical approaches to chemistry
*Quantum chemistry: All quantum mechanical approachesto chemistry (since no quantum chemical methods developed after the 1970s without computational realization, this article is an historical introduction to the field.)
*Computational chemistry: All computational approaches to chemistry
As I understood : Computational chemistry is a branch of theoretical chemistry with strong overlap with quantum chemistry and quantum chemistry is also a branch of theoretical chemistry with strong overlap with computational chemistry.  Which branches of theoretical chemistry are not within Computational chemistry are mathematical chemistry, drug design, design of chemical databases and other things (which I don't know about -- it even seems no wiki editor is ready to write much more than stubs about them, see Molecular modelling) which seem to be important and justify the existence of the Theoretical Chemistry article.
All what has been added to the article by 213.84.48.6 are quantum mechanical methods.  The movement of the electrons is quantal (and cannot be approximated anyhow -- except in Rydberg atoms -- within classical mechanics) thus all semi-empirical and force-field methods are approximations to exact quantum mechanical treatments.  They therefore pertain to quantum chemistry or computational chemistry.  Your comments are welcome. --131.220.68.177 08:55, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

message: This is heavily implied in dialogue in the second film, and we don't see a lot of other blue aliens in the GOTG films. When I typed "is yondu" into Google the top recommended search was "is yondu a kree", so it seems pretty likely this has been addressed somewhere. Hijiri 88 (聖やや) 03:19, 16 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: No, seriously: he looks more like the Kree in Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (specifically Kasius's underlings, the ones without the heavy black eye makeup) than Ronan does. Admittedly, these individuals are never referred to as Kree in AOS, so it's possible the Kree (who all have black eyes) have underlings of Yondu's race, but if that's the case then this edit (which specifically referred to one of them as Kree) was in error and should at least be attributed to a secondary source that explicitly describes him as Kree. From what I recall, the only one specifically referred to as Kree who didn't have black eyes was Sinara. I'm not saying my OR should be inserted in the article, of course, just that it's a problem when the only way content can be included in the encyclopedia at all is in a manner that violates NOR.

text: I don't get the question, test2a (and test2a-n) are for removing content, test2 and test2-n are for adding. The difference with -n and without -n is that the "-n" templates are "named" (you specify wich entry they refer to) and without "-n" are for warning without specifying. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 01:24, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Never mind. -.- Apparently flat humour aside, it's a reasonable suggestion; template tags in general should be minimalised as much as possible. Whereas more general warnings may be used for unforseen reasons in the future, specific tags are inflexible. This has the potential to cause heavy creep in the long term. This is especially true since, I imagine, templates cannot be easily deleted without removing occurances of their use. —[admin] Pathoschild 03:59, 29 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Salk worked on influenza research for the military during World War II for a time.  The Wiki article does not have any information on his life from 1941 to 1947.  If anyone can add in some information, please do.  I will try and track down the books I read about his time during World War II. Dwnoone1 (talk) 14:31, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I went and checked through the article history to find out if information about his World War II career had been removed in vandalism that happened before I started watching this article. It turns out that the article used to have this info, but it was actually removed on my watch in this edit by Chiswick Chap. CC, I'm more than a little surprised that you made that removal; since you've written lots of good content around here, I seem to remember that I barely checked out the diff ... also see your earlier archived message. For what it's worth I agree with most of the removals in that diff, but I've put back a brief outline of the info about the influenza vaccine work. Graham87 08:02, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
replies: text:  I noted that it was removing overlapping accounts of his early years, perhaps it went a bit too far. The previous edit removed non-neutral material; it seemed to me then that the tone was close to hagiographic, and the degree of detail inappropriate, more like an account of the early life of an Indian saint ("Rising from a humble background, he quickly proved his aptitude for the spiritual life ...") than it ought to be. Of course these things are judgement calls, but there's absolutely no need for the tone of "you've written lots of good content". Anyway, I shan't intervene further.

thread_title:  references 

message: The scholastic sources utilised in the article, (Axworthy, Lockhart, Willem Floor to name a few), all clearly and unambiguously identify one side as Persian. POV and academic sources are not the same. The scholarship on both Nader Shah as well as the period in general talks of Nader's dynasty as a Persian one. The article therefore, should be in line with modern academic consensus on the issue. Parsa1993 (talk) 12:53, 19 December 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Persian??? =

message: The contents of this article should be divided. Nader's Casus Beli needs to be in the article about the campaigns, the section about the battle of khyber pass is brief enough to be in the campaign article, and the sacking of Delhi should be it's own article. Though the sacking is an aftermath of the battle, theres alot of detail to it, and it makes half of this article. Perhaps the battle of Karnal article can briefly talk about the sacking near the end, but the great detail of the sacking of delhi should be in its own article.

Talk:Samuel Levine (mobster)

message: To comment on the above topic, I would disagree with the comments made by Joe Valachi on the killers. It is well known that he did not have all his facts straight, especially when it came to naming off killers in older murders. In fact, he believed the [Second] Night of the Sicilian Vespers (I agree, a false occurrence) to be a true event.
Also, I believe this sentence: "...1931 murders of Joe "The Boss" Masseria and, along with Joe Adonis, Albert "Mad Hatter" Anastasia and Benjamin "Bugsy" Siegel, of Salvatore Maranzano." should be reworded. Someone mixed up the Maranzano/Masseria names; they should be switched. Jewish gangsters from the Bug and Meyer Gang murdered Maranzano...

Category talk:Grade I listed buildings

message: Wikipedia must have hundreds of articles about Grade I listed buildings. Many of them are obvious, but I don't know of any lists and I am reluctant to make assumptions. The grading of individual buildings can be checked on Images of England, but buildings only show up if that site has a picture of them, and it is still missing pictures for many Grade I listed buildings.

replies: text: The English Heritage Buildings at Risk Register  is valuable, as it allows a database search by building listing grade. Of course, it only has the buildings on the register; there are 268 Grade I at risk. Some of these are difficult to describe for adding to wikipedia, eg, "Grotto in the Grounds of Ascot Place, Winkfield", and may not be appropriate for adding to this page. However, I will make a start on the ones which are missing and stand out as obviously suitable for inclusion. Feel free to add some, 268 will take a while to sift through :) DWaterson 19:56, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
