Talk:Sandboarding

message: This article has grown (like sandboarding) to the point that it needs to get a little more "professional." In particular, the long list of places to sandboard has the feel of a fanboard chat site ("past Gordon's Well (freeway hill), across Hwy.8, smaller dunes and less people") and is becoming a pointless miscellany. I think it has gotten to the point where items from the list should be removed unless they have an external link and/or a wikilink to a wikipedia article that provides more information.

message: renate is a german female name. --Philtime (talk) 19:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  name 

message: The trend in this ship piece it beginning to include what is beginning to look like an article on the Navy's total survey program rather than the essentially hydrographic survey mission and operational history of this ship.  That would make a good subject, but some being introduced here has almost nothing to do with the essentially coastal hydrographic mission of this particular ship though there were occasional deep water missions. Further, two citations tied to such subjects do not deal with the ship at all—they deal with the ship's namesake, Matthew Fontaine Maury. There are other problems that appear to be related to personal knowledge and not well cited. One that uses a cite to a tribute site misquotes that in "the Maury’s printing plant for the first time in naval history there generated and printed on board in 1967 for immediate distribution multicolored field survey charts" when the tribute site has "During the 1967 survey MAURY printed the first multicolored field charts since World War II" (Seen a few of those on board printed WW II charts personally).

message: The info box says it was sold "November 1941" and lost at sea "March 1941". So they sold it seven months after it sank? That seems pretty shady to me.

With the strain, there is an extra factor of 2 for element 4,5 and 6. With the stress this factor of 2 is missing. There is also at least a third alternaive (Kelvin ?), of putting the factor of 2 into the stress vector. (91.3.118.24 (talk) 18:55, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Template talk:ESH

message: According to ISO 3166-1 alpha-3, the ESH code is assigned to Western Sahara, which is a territory, but not a state. So, there is a issue regarding the current use of this template, mainly in political articles.
This template is often associated with a flag, which is the flag of the Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic, an unofficial state who claims the Western Sahara. Morocco claims also Western Sahara and largely controls the territory. So, association between Western Sahara and the so-called “flag of Western Sahara” is anything, except NPOV.
Therefore, I have replaced Western Sahara with Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic. Since it is inaccurate (regarding ISO 3166-1 alpha-3), we must consider that only as a temporary measure. --Juiced lemon 12:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Huh? Since the ISO code is for "Western Sahara," the template should read "Western Sahara." If necessary, change the context in which it appears in articles, but don't break the article by inserting different text into the template. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 15:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The ISO code is for “Western Sahara”, but the English Wikipedia uses the ISO code for “Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic”. It will take a lot of time to find an appropriate and consensual solution. In my opinion, the replacement I have made in the template is the best remedy for the time being. --Juiced lemon 15:57, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: What? Where did you get the idea that "the English Wikipedia uses the ISO code for 'Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic?'" You're the one that inserted it into the template... Where else is this used as such? You're not making any sense, here. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 15:58, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Right You have restored the proper text, but inserted a map. See where this is used and you'll see flags alongside an inexplicable map. You're still breaking the use of the template. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 19:09, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  May 2010 edit warring 

message: Since Western Sahara is a disputed territory, and since this template associates the name of the disputed territory to the flaf of one of its claimants, it is POV and should be edited.
One of the solutions consists in the replacement of the current flag (SADR's one) by a more neutral one (like this one: ) or any flag that can be consensual. Another solution is to put no flag. 
Any opinions?

Talk:SS Georgiana

message: *Although Mr. Spence created the original article, he never made the claim that he discovered the wreck of SS Georgiana was discovered on the anniversary of its sinking, nor can I find any sources for this information prior to 2010.  The source apparently was a URL identified only as "200.88.35.9" who dropped this factoid into the article, without attribution .  It is true that the Georgiana sank on March 19, 1863, and it is true that Spence first spotted it in 1965.  This believe-it-or-not detail was picked up by the syndicated "Today in History" newspaper column starting on March 19, 2010, with the "exactly 102 years after" phrase apparently borrowed verbatim from the Wikipedia article, but unless there's actually some evidence to the contrary, I think it's nonsense from the days when additions by unidentified editors were accepted without question.

message: I think all the Fucus pages: Fucus spiralis, Fucus vesiculosus and Fucus serratus should be given these titles, as appropriate and NOT Toothed Wrack, Serrated Wrack etc. Best to use the botanical rather than the common name as the title. All the other algae are....I think.Osborne 12:44, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The guideline WP:NC(CN) takes the opposite view, as do very many editors. WP:PLANTS currently mandates scientific names over common names, but doesn't cover algae (even if the ICBN does). You must remember that Wikipedia is written for the lay audience, many of whom wil have heard of bladder wrack, but have no idea what is meant by Fucus vesiculosus. --Stemonitis 14:32, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

text: Anything without a common name automatically defaults to the scientific name, so that's no problem. This is true of very many taxa, not just algae, of course, including most of the ones I write about on Wikipedia, as it happens. The second point you raise, about alternative common names is much more interesting. WP:TOL recommends that where there is no "reasonably unique" common name, the scientific name should be used. This means that if "serrated wrack" and the others are used similarly often to "toothed wrack" (and there is no objective measure of similarly often for this purpose), then the article would go to its scientific name. Let's examine some Google results (excluding "Wikipedia" each time and only searching in English language sites): "Fucus serratus" — 41,800; "toothed wrack" — 1,410; "serrated wrack" — 13,800; "saw wrack" — 143; "notched wrack" — 3; "black wrack" — 103. I have to say, I find those results surprising, but I'm prepared to abide by them. It suggests that "saw wrack", "notched wrack" and "black wrack" are all uncommon enough not to warrant a mention in the article, and that the title should be Fucus serratus. I'll get onto that straight away. --Stemonitis 13:17, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
