message: Take a look at this page... [| http://forums.davidweber.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=489].
Read the first (and long) entry,
title "Belated authorial response to BBs (thanks Gena and David!)"
also labeled "by Duckk    » Tue Mar 23, 2010 7:58 pm".
About half way down the quote (from David Weber) states...
Space constraints were another huge (and steadily growing) factor in the 1950s and 1960s, because of the sheer volume consumed by the electronic systems involved, especially when those were vacuum tube technology, and the need to somehow provide sufficient generating capacity to simply power all those systems put yet another squeeze on the internal volume (and expense) of the vessels. To build a surface ship with the capabilities the Navy really wanted in a dedicated anti-submarine destroyer in 1949 required the USS Norfolk, which, at 5,600 tons standard, was darned near three times the displacement of a Fletcher-class destroyer (2,100 standard), one of the most powerful destroyers in the world when she was built to a design that was less then seven years old when Norfolk was laid down. (Norfolk was also so expensive that only one of her was ever built.) The situation was just as bad when the designers started looking at dedicated anti-air escorts, and the possibility of combining the needed qualities in a single hull which would be capable of performing both the anti-air and anti-submarine missions in anything much smaller than a battlecruiser hull simply didn't exist. Faced with limited funding, the Navy was forced to build much less capable units than it wanted and then to operate them in a sort of proto-net centric fashion, if you will. Dispersed platforms, each dedicated to a particular type of mission, functioning as an integrated whole in order to provide the required capabilities it couldn't afford to buy in single units. In other words, the carrier battle group.
If there is some informed "Gearhead" out there who can elaborate on this, and place the cited material in the article, this would be a Good Thing.

thread_title:  WUSTL Behavioral Ecology 

message: Overall, the article was really great! It’s best feature for me was its wide breadth of topics covered, clearly seen in the extensive outline box. However, here are a few ways to improve this article. Although the use of hyperlinks was very good, I added a few more throughout the article for even more clarity (i.e. words such as palearctic realm, mimicry, proboscis, olfaction, etc.). Another type of edit I made was in regards to capitalization. The standard way of writing section headings is in sentence case on Wikipedia. I edited two section headings to reflect these guidelines. Although there is a variety of topics discussed, I would also consider inserting a section specifically on host plants. Although briefly mentioned in the egg subsection, it would be nice to learn more about the importance of host plants both as a food source as well as its potential role in oviposition. Lastly, I made some grammatical edits (such as missed commas, a few spelling errors, and incorrect subject-verb agreement) and rearranged the structure of a few sentences to make the sentence flow better. Overall, a really great article, and good luck editing! Krecto176 (talk) 02:02, 1 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Hi! I have a few more suggestions organizationally.

message: All taxa above genus are plural by design and language (borrowed/created from Latin or Greek plurals).  I can't help it if some biologists or taxonomists are ignorant of this.  They probably think "bacteria" are singular, too.  The only sense where Encrytidae (and the like) would be singular is "Encrytidae is the name of ...".  In that case, leave the word "name" in place to recognize the sense.165.225.34.56 (talk) 21:03, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Eriothrix rufomaculata

--TristramBrelstaff (talk) 21:25, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Wikipedia is following the ICZN Code. 'Thrix' is the classic Greek word for 'hair' and its gender is female. So the final part of the name has to be a female form too (see article 30.12 of the code). In Latin the ending 'a' represents the female and 'us' the male gender. So Eriothrix rufomaculata is the correct name of the species. --Pristurus (talk) 21:41, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

I am not sure what you doubt. The recent ICANN meeting (www.icann.org) in Mexico City was held at the Sheraton Centro Historico. The main restaurant in that hotel is "El Cardenal" and I had the escamoles, ant eggs, as an appetizer dish. I'd imagine you could call the hotel ((52)(55) 5130 530) ask for someone who speaks english in El Cardenal restaurant as you have a question about the menu, and grill them as to whether some of that menu comes from ants.
Typing "escamoles" into google seems to provide lots of corroboration. Maybe I misunderstand what it is you doubt.
Also, I notice the word "References" on the page is spelled "Rederences" for some reason I assume a typo. I'm not comfortable with editing these pages yet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bshein (talk • contribs) 23:37, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Essex skipper

message: It was interesting to know that the Essex skipper was accidently introduce to Canada.  Also, eggs do not hatch until after winter and I thought that was really cool.  It is because most of the butterflies that I have looked at, hatch in late summer and fall. I think that the content provided is a good starting place, but more work needs to be done.  Of the categories listed the information is just enough to provide insight as to how the butterfly works. I first wanted to point out the that the article is missing a table of contents and that makes it harder for people to know what kind of information that the article contains. A category that could be added to help the article is one about habitat.  It is because just stating that the butterfly lives in certain countries is not enough.  Another, category that could be added is social behavior of both the caterpillar and butterfly.  I think that adding this category could show where the two are similar and different from each other, besides morphology.  However, before having a category about social behavior, I think that having a category about the life history of the Essex skipper would be good to know.   It is because it can provide some insight and background knowledge before going to the next topic of social behavior. There is only one other comment on the comment page so that leads me to know that no one is really trying to improve this article. The article is rated as Start-class and low-importance.  What that means is that the article has content, but could use quite a bit more to improve its status.WAdekunle (talk) 09:00, 21 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion

message: The article itself states that "the events passed by with little notice from the public at large". Overall, it seems like a "much ado about nothing" situation that can easily be summed up in several paragraphs in the main article, if that.
Ultimately, Oblivion remained extremely popular despite the M rating, and Skyrim got an M rating from the get-go and became one of the most popular games of all time, making it dubiously relevant as a controversy.
I should add that the FAC for the article was very basic and lax, being done in 2007 when standards were far lower than they are now, so it shouldn't be a reason to retain the article simply because of that.  ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 15:12, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
