message: If you can't find those citations (which I cannot) as far as I can tell Mysian Olympus does not appear in Homer, or Hesiod either, but does appear in Herodotus I.36 as a place from which a great boar comes and in Xenophon's Memorabilia as a place of wild animals. I do not think the place in mentioned in Homer nor do I think the gods watched the battle from there but if you find some later ancient author who says it is so by all means put it in. For the presence of monasteries in the late empire I for one would like to see a citation on that one.Dave 15:17, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I temporarily removed this statement:
"It lies 40 km from the northwest to the southeast of the Marmara Region"
But only because its meaning is unclear in English and I do not know how to correct it. In English it would mean a mountain 40 km long aligned in the specified direction, but I doubt that. Do you mean it is 40km to the SE of Marmora? In that case it would be a candidate for the Mount Teleia mentioned in the Catalog of Trojans. If you could clarify that I am sure we all would appreciate it. Thank you.Dave 15:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links 

message: I've been editing this article a bit recently. I have a question about these two sentences:
"Speeches are usually five to seven minutes in duration."
"Depending on the country, there are variations in speaking time, speaking order, whether proposition whip can introduce new points, and the number of speakers."
* Is there any circuit where five-minute BP is standard? My experience has always been that seven-minute BP is the standard in university debating, while five-minute BP is a reduced format used in (for example) novice or school tournaments. If this is generally the case everywhere, then the first sentence should probably be changed to reflect that, rather than conveying the impression that speaking time routinely varies. 
* Are there circuits where there are variations in "speaking order" and "the number of speakers"? That seems like quite a major deviation that would constitute a different format entirely, rather than just a variation of BP. 
Of course, I'm not familiar with the norms in all circuits, and would welcome anyone providing info on circuits where these variations do occur (and are considered BP rather than a separate format). If these don't exist, I think these sentences should probably be amended. Does anyone have any thoughts? Helpful Cat (talk) 15:31, 12 June 2020 (UTC)

message: The bulk of this article is in two sections, Advantages and Disadvantages. Unfortunately, this has produced an article that is essentially two lists of bullet points and, consequently, it fails to explain what DALI is and how it works. I recommend the following to remedy this:
* Convert each pro/con point into a sentence, complete with explanation of the underlying relevant facts.
* Delete the advantages/disadvantages sections, which should be empty when step #1 is complete.

Talk:State nationalism

message: This entry is strange and lacks reliable sources. It verges on original research, and the term seems to be more of popular use than really used by historians. Nationalism, would argue several historians, is a creation of the state; hence "state nationalism" is a bit oxymoric. That nationalism was then, sometimes, reversed against the state and used to fight it is another problem, but historically "state nationalism" precedes ethnic nationalism. Hence the strange use of this term, and of this stub. Tazmaniacs 15:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The terms "staatsnation" and "kulturnation" were coined by Friedrich Meinecke(Meinecke, F. (1908) Weltbürgertum und Nationalstaat. München /Berlin: R Oldenburg). Staatsnation ("state-nation" in English) is e.g. the USA or France, where membership is defined by state citizenship, not by ethnicity. "Statsnationalism" is used with this meaning in Swedish and AFAIU "staatsnationalismus" ("state-nationalism") in German. There might be a "legitimate" use of the word in English, too. However, the article describes something completely different than "staatsnationalismus", something that I don't know the name for (if indeed there is a name).Sjö 09:02, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  RWC 2007 

message: After seeing a picture of Flood and Jonny Wilkinson standing back-to-back on the BBC website, I looked up their heights on here. Wilkinson's page has him listed as 5'10", and Toby is listed as 6'0". This seemed odd to me as there appears to be a far greater difference between them on the photo, so I checked the source for Toby's height - the RFU site, which indeed has him listed at 6'0". I checked the Leicester Tigers site to make sure, and his profile on there says he's 6'2". He made his England debut before moving to Leicester, and he's still only 25 now, so he could conceivably have grown since then as well. Now, obviously I can't make the change based on the fact that 6'2" seems closer to his height in the picture, as that's original research. So my question, if there's anyone to answer it, is - which source is more reliable: Tigers (probably more recently checked) or RFU (senior to Tigers within the spectrum of rugby)? I'll have a look for some other sources to see if a majority can be established anyway. Opcws (talk) 20:41, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

message: "Better to find a non-hydrogenated source of coconut oil from an indian or chinese food store"
I'm sitting here eating chocolate crackles (made with cornflakes and sultanas) that my son & I made the other day, washing it down with a black coffee. Mmmm. Thought I'd wiki "copha", knowing that it wasn't going to be pleasant - I mean, it is pure fat, and I mixed sugar into it. I can feel my arteries hardening. Now I know that it has trans fats too. More coffee needed.
So, does anyone have a brand name for the "non-hydrogenated source of coconut oil" mentioned above? Is it really going to be healthier - it is still pure fat, after all, and it also can't be that good!? Or would it be easy to find coconut oil whatever it is called?
