This article is really about the disputed territorial unit created by the Treaty of Versailles and its aftermath.

The article describes the book generally, and describes what the book argues, without taking a side of the argument,  the article is in full compliance with WP:NPOV, and not sexist itself.  It is expected for this subject to be in an encyclopedia.

Talk:Cetomimidae

message: Would it be better to have this page at Cetomimidae with Flabby whalefish as the redirect?  Personally, I find it quite ridiculous to have "common names" for poorly known marine organisms, given that these common names will almost never show up in conversation, while almost all discussion of the organisms takes place in scientific literature where the scientific name is used.  
I know google hits aren't the be all and end all, but there are 48,000 google hits for "whalefish" (many of them unrelated to Cetomimidae), 1,530 for "flabby whalefish" (many of them mirroring Wikipedia), and 102,00 for Cetomimidae. It seems like a joke to pretend that "flabby whalefish" are what this group of fish is most commonly known as.
Also, today's news articles about the Johnson et al. paper use Cetomimidae far more than "whalefish" (and don't use "flabby whalefish" at all).  However, the news articles I saw seem pretty confused; it appears the journalist believes Cetomimidae is a species ("a type of whalefish"). While this is an example of usage of "whalefish" as a common name, it's presented in such a misleading way that I got a much better idea of what was going on through the scientific name.
Spade-toothed whale (Mesoplodon traversii) is a particular egregious example of this phenomenon; it's known from 3 specimens and has never been observed alive.  It's not like anybody is having a conversation saying, "I saw a spade-toothed whale today".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.104.39.2 (talk) 20:34, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I merged in the page for Mirapinnidae and redirected all the formerly-thought-separate names into this page.  I took a stab at rewriting pieces but am not sufficiently expert to know what is true only of one morph and what is true of the whole family (and perhaps even the experts don't know).  I also left the old classifications in because I wasn't sure how they mapped to the cetomimidae classifications (and maybe they don't, yet).  Anyway, this all still needs more work. /blahedo (t) 04:37, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Difference between Male & Female 

message: The battle of Five Forks on April 1, 1865 was lost by the Confederacy, led to the unhinging of the Richmond defenses, and within 9 days to the surrender of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia, and soon thereafter the surrender of the Confederacy, because the principal commanders of the Confederate troops present at that battle were at a shad bake that morning. It's a fairly famous historical oddity for Civil War buffs. 
The principal commanders at the shad bake were George Pickett (yes, that Pickett), and Fitzhugh Lee (nephew of Robert E. Lee), commanders of the infantry and cavalry in the Five Forks area. Their absences resulted in most of the Confederate forces being unable to move, and launched counter-attacks without coordination. By the time Pickett and Lee returned from the shad bake, the battle was largely lost. 
The loss of Five Forks meant Lee's army could no longer by supplied by the rail line leading east and south from Petersburg, and he was forced to order a retreat the next day, which was put into effect on April 3. And the rest, they say, is history. 
In the "Society and Culture" section, I would therefore recommend a single sentence to refer to this famous shad bake, and to link it to the relevant section at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Five_Forks  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.118.219.242 (talk) 17:34, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
