thread_title:  9th Council 

message: "Members of the Council of State, which serve in the National Assembly, do not reflect popular outcomes in the elections. According to a 2021 study, under competitive elections, most members of the Council of State might have been defeated."
There's at least 3 issues here. 1) What study? Source should probably be placed around the end of that paragraph. 2) There's at least two widely held views of democracy afaik, "people getting their legitimate interests" and "people getting what they voted for". Is the study sufficiently aware of that? 3) The electability of persons does not in an intuitive way reflect onto the policy substance in the first place. Is the study sufficiently aware of that?

Talk:Minnesota State Highway 135

message: From 1975 until the late 1980s, there's a little piece of highway marked on the state map running from Gilbert to McKinley. It appears at first glance to be an extension of Highway 37 but there's no direct indication of what highway it is. Given the evidence available I'd suspect that it was one of those unmarked 8xx/9xx highways to maintain a highway into McKinley as required by the definition of the route, but I have no way of confirming that. (I'd surmise that it was removed once McKinley's city limits expanded to include the current alignment of 135.) --Sable232 (talk) 01:28, 12 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Höttinger Bach

message: The article states, "1.100 metres above Sea-Level".  In English, the comma notation is typically used, so I assume this is one thousand one hundred metres above sea level?  Can someone please clarify?  Thanks. Samw 01:26, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hello.
In German and Austrian language the dot is used as thousand separator. (e.g.: 1.000 = 1000)

Talk:Helmstedt–Marienborn border crossing

message: The brief mention of Checkpoint Alpha within the article on the Helmstedt-Marienborn border crossing serves more to highlight the inadequacy  of this article than to provide any useful information.   While Checkpoint Alpha was approximately co-located with the Helmstedt-Marienborn border crossing, they were physically, administratively, and operationally separate.  Checkpoint Alpha was the autobahn crossing operated jointly by the American, British, and French military authorities with absolutely no involvement of the West German authorities.  Only travelers sponsored by the US, British, or French military were processed through Checkpoint Alpha.  Those travelers were then processed through a Marienborn checkpoint operated by the Soviet military authorities (NOT the East German authorities).  Both the allied military Checkpoint Alpha and the Soviet Military checkpoint at Marienborn were located immediately south of the Autobahn with traffic through the checkpoints being separated from Autobahn traffic.  All other autobahn traffic at the Helmstedt-Marienborn crossing was processed by West German and East German authorities at facilities located on the autobahn.
The rail crossing point at Helmstedt-Marienborn was physically co-located for both military travel and civilian travel but military rail traffic was processed by allied military authorities and Soviet military authorities while civilian rail traffic was processed by West German and East German authorities.  US military operated a nightly "Duty Train" between Berlin and Frankfurt.  The British military operated a daily "Duty Train" between Berlin and Braunschweig. Each of these trains also served the rail station at Helmstedt for military travelers.  There were also occasional "special" military trains but these were rare.
The more-or-less corresponding article titled Checkpoint Bravo also conflates the separate military and civil crossing points but chooses to use the name of the military checkpoint.  The crossing point between West Berlin and East Germany was also two entirely separate crossings: one operated by the Allied Military authorities paired with a crossing operated by the Soviet Military authorities and a nearby but separate crossing operated by the West German authorities paired with a facility operated by the East German authorities.  The photo File:Checkpoint Bravo Brückenhaus.jpg shows the exterior of the building housing the military Checkpoint Bravo while the other photos in the Checkpoint Bravo article are of the entirely separate East German crossing facility.N4aof (talk) 00:33, 30 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Reuven Paz

message: The reason given for this article's deletion is: it is an article about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or website that does not assert the importance or significance of the subject.
Ok. Maybe I didn't source facts about him from the right places. If so I accept that, but the article clearly states that he has published over four books about Islamic Fundamentalism, given testimony(although perhaps the article doesn't stress the importance of the cases: "Flatow family versus. the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad in July 1988," and "Eisenfeld and Duker families against the Islamic Republic of Iran and Hamas in May 2000," are just two examples. He clearly is important and I think definetly meets the criteria set out in Wikipedia:Notability. I know this doesn't impact on the decision to delete but a simple Google search for him renders over twenty two thousand results. He is an expert in the fields outlined in the article. A cleanup or re-arranging the article by all means is a good idea. But deletion just doesn't seem to make sense in this case. Olockers 01:49, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Barry Knight (referee)

message: Hi. With respect, this article was in need of an overhaul, consisting mainly of speculation, opinion and point of view, with very little actual biographical content, and some unsourced material. I have retained the reference to the Newcastle lads fighting each other, as it was news-worthy at the time and also notable with regard to his handling of the situation.
If you have any problems with this edit, please discuss here, or here. Merely to revert would be a sin in this case. We could, if you insisted, re-word other points contained in the previous edit in a non-sensational style, and try to provide sources for it.

message: Not much here about Dr. Beckett. Also, I'd be interested in reading about possible perverting prices in the 80's/90's of the guides. Those went out with lead time, where others with knowledge could have profited. Also did he and PSA destroy the industry and hobby?
:The last question is most definetly a matter of debate (personally I think too many products and overdoing the game used memobilia cards and 1/1's are what are killing the hobby).  However, I think there should also be a seperate article about Beckett Baseball Card Monthly itself.  Especially in the 1980s and 1990s, that was THE trading card price guide; every dealer I ever seen used only that guide.  I personally have almost a whole run from 1988-96 (IMO, Beckett's peak years in popularity), but I'm not sure how to use them to really do the BBCM article justice.76.177.174.82 08:01, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Do mole rats navigate using the earth's magnetic field? 

message: The ignorant and harmful convention of forcing the name of practically any article on a biological taxon to be a "common name" has made a mess of this article. For one thing, the name "blesmol" is only Afrikaans and only applies to one to three species at most; the general Afrikaans term is "tandmol" (literally "tooth mole": all species in the family have consistently exposed incisors) and in English "mole rat" (hyphenated or catenated according to taste). "Blesmol" is used (fairly logically, as common names go) as being correctly descriptive of Georychus, and sometimes Bathyergus, which latter however are generally called "duinmolle". To call all the species "blesmolle" (the suffix "-le" denotes the plural) is about as natural and helpful as calling all Equids "striped zebras" whether they are striped or not, or whether they are zebras or not. Similarly, "bles", depending on context means "blaze" as in the white patch on the face of a "blesbok" (the term is not used for Damaliscus in general) or the blaze of a horse; it simply does not apply to animals without blazes. "Bles" can however also mean "bald patch on the head" as in human heads or coots ("bleshoenders"), but that is not applicable to any mole rat species. Only Georychus consistently have anything like a bles. 
The article also contains some inaccuracies and other flaws. I am inclined to rewrite it as an article on Bathyergidae (with links to Heterocephalidae etc) and then replace this article plus "Tandmol",  "Duinmol", "Grysmol" etc with redirections or disambiguations. This "blesmol" misnomer in a WP article is harmful to our reputation and already shows signs of influencing usage on the WWW, so to leave it as it stands is irresponsible.
