message: Here's a really nice image I found on Commons if someone knows an appropriate article to use it for. — BrianSmithson 19:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, nice picture. Unfortunately, there are no articles in wikipedia at all below the level of Diopsid; even if there were, we need a better identification.

message: The article by L. Papp, M. Földvári & P. Paulovics (1997) in footnote 3 may be correctly quoted, but the composite word “sphyracephala” is wrong; it has to be sphyrocephala. The scientific name of this “hammerhead”, cf. Greek σφῦρ|α [spʰȳr-] + κεφαλ|ή [kepʰal-], results from a combination of the main chunks of these words and --
::a) the insertion of a buffer element -o- in between, and
::b) the addition of another -o as a neuter inflectional morpheme. 
Consequently, we get σφυροκέφαλο [spʰȳroképʰalo], a word which necessarily is furnished with an -α in plural. In Latin the name would be sphyrocephala. 
The entomologists should perhaps ask a linguist before they go public with their new species…
A detail ? Well, this hammerhead article is replete with interesting details. Should a linguist renounce the same pleasure of diving into the nitty-gritty of how the entomologists account for their research ?
I have now corrected two instances of “sphyracephala” and one of “sphryacephala”[sic]. The one belonging to the article should remain morphologically wheelbroken. We can’t correct what is already printed, but we could do better next time. Hirpex (talk) 18:13, 12 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: While Sphyrocephala may be linguistically correct, Sphyracephala is the established spelling of this genus in the scientific literature e.g. Sphyracephala beccari. Examples from the literature include: "A cladistic analysis of Diopsidae (Diptera) based on morphological and DNA sequence data" and On the egg morphology and phylogenetic relationships of Diopsidae (Diptera: Schizophora). I have amended the one instance, and now Sphyracephala links to the existing Wikipedia article on this genus. Just to be nonsensical, Prosphyrocephala keeps its o based on the existing literature (Scientistchic (talk) 12:50, 29 August 2012 (UTC)

I also remove the Research section, as if was unnecessary, poorly referenced and receptive.  Also the good information in this section was placed in context in the other sections and elaborated upon.

message: Early on in Chapter 1 it says that while he was called a nephew, he was actually a cousin. I suppose that works better, since most people know that apart from Joseph Jr. who died before he could start a family, there were no other brothers except for Jack, Bobby, and Ted, hence no possibility of Kennedy nephews beyond those 3 families. What most people outside of genealogy circles don't know is that the brothers also had no first cousins named Kennedy, since their father had only one brother, who died in infancy. 71.184.87.187 (talk) 21:55, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Today's featured article/June 8, 2006

message: Could someone change the FA box to read as follows (to reflect recent changes in the article)? Thanks.
The FIFA World Cup is the most important competition in international football. The world's most representative team sport event, the World Cup is contested by the men's national football teams of Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) (the sport's largest governing body) member nations.  The championship has been awarded every four years since the first tournament in 1930 (except in 1942 and 1946 due to World War II). However, it is more of an ongoing event as the qualifying rounds of the competition take place over the three years preceding the final rounds.
The men's final tournament phase (often called the "Finals") involves 32 national teams competing over a four-week period in a previously nominated host nation, with these games making it the most widely-viewed sporting event in the world. In the 17 tournaments held, only seven nations have ever won the World Cup Finals. Brazil is the current holder, as well as the most successful World Cup team, having won the tournament five times, while Germany and Italy follow with three titles each. The next football World Cup Finals will be held in Germany between June 9 and July 9, 2006.

I am a huge advocate of women's football, as is anyone who loves the game- but this is simply not true. The World Cup is (by a huge margin) THE greatest tournament in football. Bar none.

message: This article claims that there are three roads in San Antonio named after Harry Wurzbach. However, Place Names of San Antonio claims that Wurzbach Road and Wurzbach Parkway are named after Harry's brother William, as does this book. abwayax (contribs, talk) 02:32, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That does seem to be the case; the original Wurzbach was one of the many 'farm/ranch to market' roads in SA and is named for the homestead, not Harry.  Not sure on the Wurzbach Parkway; since it is a recent creation; was it explicitly (re)named after the old road or Harry?  The "San Anotnio Names" cite infers the former, I'd use that.  Since the original line in the article is completely uncited, I've made the change.  If I worded that incorrectly, please feel free to fix it.  Nice catch on an obscure article! Kuru (talk) 14:54, 5 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think it's safe to say that the parkway is named after Wurzbach Road, because the parkway is an extension of that road.
