Talk:The Cold Equations

message: Either I'm missing something in reading the sentence, or this is a very slanted point of view: "...the power of entertaining people other than shallow pseudo-intellectuals and frustrated academics."

thread_title:  Copied from Lightspeed Magazine? 

message: I entirely understand the modern criticism of this story, but is it not a little strange that the Reception section for a story published in 1954 consists entirely of criticism from the 90s onwards? This seems particularly striking when, as the lede says 'In 1970, the Science Fiction Writers of America selected it as one of the best science-fiction short stories published before 1965'.

Talk:Tom Hart Dyke

message: Pardon my lack of wiki-coding.. I was hoping someone could append to the final sentence in the Kidnapping section, "The story of his kidnapping ordeal was dramatised in the Sky1 documentary series "My Holiday Hostage Hell," and summarized in Series 5 Episode 2 of BBC Radio 4's The Museum of Curiosity." I have a digital copy of this episode, but it a bit unlinkable because it requires either a paywall-download or waiting for it to occasionally become available again whenever the BBC randomly temporarily re-releases episodes for a brief window of streaming.

Talk:Shorea robusta

message: I believe this page ("Sal") should be a disambiguation; the article should be moved to Sal (tree) (or Shorea robusta, since "Sal" is not even in English) and SAL should be moved here. I am proposing this because I don't feel that this meaning is so overwhelmingly more used that it should keep the title when there are so many other possible meanings (and even though this may not mean anything, as an example I'd point that a google image search for "sal" currently returns in the first page two images about Sal, Cape Verde, two about Salt, and none about this plant).

message: I noticed that the orbital angular momentum quantum number, ℓ has a rule that says any sub-shell can hold a maximum of 4ℓ + 2 electrons. Since 4ℓ + 2 looks quite similar to the 4n + 2 electrons of Hückel's rule, I figure they might be correlated to each other and thus both pages might benefit from this being added. I just would need someone more expert than myself to confirm this before adding it to the page(s).

It is evident that in many sources Gilaks are mentioned as different from Persian speaking people, but there are sources too that mention them as Persian people, so they are Persian as well. The confusion is because of the definition of "Persian". In broad sense, Persian people also include Turkic speakers of Azerbaijan. That seem more distance. Gilaks seem more close. Some think (look at the changes of this article) that what I say is nationalism. It is exactly different. i.e  "contra nationalism".
