Talk:Slalom skiing

message: In modern slalom events (world cup, olympics, etc) there are no flags on the gates. Rather, they are just poles. I don't enough about Arnold Lunn and everything else to change the article, but i'm pretty sure its obsolete. lommer 00:51, 6 Apr 2004 (UTC)

thread_title: interwiki links (2006)

message: At this time, seven years into the new century, there are a vast number of adults, actually all adults, who grew up with "turn of the century" meaning the year 1900. Now that we have gone through another "turn of the century" and ambiguity creeps in. 
I deduce that the phrase in this article, refers to the year 2000 but I am not sure.
Could someone who knows please make this clear.

thread_title: Untitled

message: If both Agouti and Dasyprocta are included in the family, shouldn't Agoutidae Gray, 1821 have priority over Dasyproctidae (Gray, 1825)? McKenna and Bell use Agoutidae and they don't seem to indicate any problems with the name. Helioseus (talk) 22:30, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds plausible. The only reference I've got that doesn't consider them separate families (Encyclopaedia of Mammals, Gould & McKay, eds., 1998) uses Dasyproctidae, but doesn't explain why. I've certainly got no objection if more recent (or definitive) sources use Agoutidae instead. Anaxial (talk) 23:02, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Molecular results (Rowe and Honeycutt, 2002)  have shown that the group in a broad sense is paraphyletic with respect to the Caviidae so they need to be split.  The issue between Agoutidae vs. Cuniculidae is not the familial authority, but the validity of Cuniculus Brisson, 1762 as a genus.  There was a 1998 ICZN ruling that recognized Cuniculus thereby making Cuniculidae Miller & Gidley, 1918 the valid familial name for the pacas.  Woods and Kilpatrick (2005) recognize Cuniculidae and explain this in Mammal Sp. of World vol 3.  Incidentally, the statement in the article that some people use Cuniculidae because Agoutidae is confusing is simply silly.  --Aranae (talk) 23:18, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Fair enough. Taking a quick look at the paleo literature, it looks like there's a third family to split off here. Everyone except McKenna and Bell treats Cephalomyidae as a valid family, probably basal to several living families. I'll add it to the template. Helioseus (talk) 05:18, 7 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds like some of these really old "dasyproctids" are actually basal caviods.  McKB doesn't even treat it as a subfamily or tribe.  I'll leave it to you to assign genera to Dasyproctidae vs. Cephalomyidae.  --Aranae (talk) 06:41, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  An estate agent, John Morrisby, conducting an auction of real estate in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. 

message: Under the heading "Types: Visibility of bids", it states "In an English auction, all current bids are visible to all bidders and in a sealed-bid auction, bidders only get to know if their bid was the best. Best/not best auctions are sealed-bid auctions with multiple bids...Rank auction is an extension of best/not best auction, where the bidders also see the rank of their bids." (emphases added) The use of the term "best" is inappropriate here. There is no such thing as a "best bid", and bids are not selected for being "best", but rather for being highest. "Best" is the superlative form of "better"; "highest" is the common way to describe a quantity (such as a bid or a price) that is greater than all others. In many decades of observing and participating in auctions in the US and UK, I have never heard any bid described as "best". In actual usage in auction houses, the term is usually "winning", as in "the winning bid is (insert amount here)", or "the winning bidder is (insert bidder number here)". Nor do the sources provided support the use of "best". Bricology (talk) 04:44, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

message: Hello and Happy New Year. This article has a contentious Etymology section. It is written using wording like "Some accounts say", "Some accounts disavow", "Several accounts" (tagged with ) and the sentence includes a CN tag, as well as "By other accounts". These types of wording, lacking content to back it up, certainly beg questions that require sourcing, meaning the tag is justified. The end result is that the B-class article assessment, per the three projects, is questioned. 
I have not been involved with the article but the section is certainly in need of correcting or, depending on the importance, removed. If someone would take a look at this I would appreciate it.  Otr500 (talk) 14:59, 2 January 2020 (UTC)
