Talk:Sepioloidea lineolata

message: :Together with the blue-ringed octopus and Pfeffer's flamboyant cuttlefish, S. lineolata is one of the few cephalopods that are known to be poisonous.
I find that dubious. Leaving the BRO aside, the sources I've seen indicated it was not known whether these two cuttlefish similarly are poisonous or not. Instead, and in the absence of any direct evidence, it simply appears to be the case that some biologists have prudently cautioned that these cuttlefish MAY be poisonous, using the argument that maybe the striking colouration is to warn off predators (as is common for poisonous animals). But that isn't the only possibility (counter-example: zebra). e.g. the pyjama pattern also could simply help camouflage it when half submerged in sand and shell fragments.
Can anyone cite any information on this matter? (Other than ?) Cesiumfrog (talk) 03:22, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

text: At the gov's Species Bank (useful source for this article), Norman wrote "The dramatic colour pattern of this squid is probably advertising a poisonous nature.", which is obviously far more tentative than what he appeared to be telling the doco. Cesiumfrog (talk) 00:10, 16 May 2013 (UTC)

text: Also, while he (in the doco) affirmed the notion of only three known poisonous cephalopods (which seems curious as there's plenty similar dramatically-coloured cephalopods e.g. wunderpus, mimic octopus, giant cuttlefish, common cuttlefish...), in 2009 his collaborator announced that all octopus and cuttlefish are venomous ; supposedly envenomation by a variety of species (which?) has been observed (how?).

Talk:Xenobiotic

message: Dear Editor,
I want to propose a new definition of "Xenobiotics" as the definitions available are not complete.
Xenobiotics are compound that are resistant to biodegradation. They may be synthetic eg. plastics and pesticides or naturally occurring eg. Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) and some fractions of crude oil and coal. It is believed that there are undiscovered microorganisms that can bioremediate the different complex and resistant xenobiotics found on the earth.

Talk:Thoggen

message: When ripping a DVD in Thoggen you can either specify a size (i.e., 700MB so as to fit the file on a CD)... or you can "make video a certain quality".
If you pick 'make video a certain quality' then you tell the encoder how much quality you're willing to give up whilst encoding. The encoder will then output a file that has the quality you desire, but you have no control over the final output size or the average bitrate (which will depend a lot on the input, e.g. what picture size it is, what type of film/how much movement etc.). 
The "quality" range to select from is 0 to 63, where 63 = highest quality. As of version 0.6.0 the meaning of these numbering choices are ambiguous to the user. It has been suggested that for quality, values 0-39 = 'Very Low', 40-49 = 'Low', 50-59 = 'Medium', 60-64 = 'High'. 
Perhaps the programmers "attempts to hide the complexity many other transcoding tools expose" (as quoted on the  article page) went a little too far with the setting-quality feature. The user is left lost, albeit a simplified lost.

Talk:Irish Confederation

message: It would be great if we could expand the Irish Confederation article - I've been reluctant to just jump in but you seem interested in it. It certainly was more than just the passing reference most modern writers give it. Young Ireland was an idea but the Irish Confederation was the manifestation of the idea, and the men involved were not political or intellectual lightweights. It perhaps marked the beginning of a broadening consensus that colonial economic exploitation was the issue that had to be faced, not just civil or religious or land rights. The logical corollary was that the colony had to free itself, as the US had done, to end the exploitation as it would never be treated as an equal within the Kingdom. That's my theory anyway, but it isn't suitable for Wikipedia, which requires just facts and major ideas that academics agree on. The participants themselves like Mitchel and Doheny have already written down the facts, so perhaps an article for Wikipedia would just have to summarise their writing on the subject ? But then they were hardly unbiased were they ?

Talk:Gertrud Gabl

message: I think the most important issue in this article is to get the spelling of her name (and the title of this article) right. 
Most pubished sources I've read say "Gertrud", including the book "21 Years of World Cup Ski Racing", a history written by World Cup founder Serge Lang in 1986.  Their website also lists it as "Gertrud" (see http://www.skiworldcup.org/load/champions/women/gabl/01.html).  Ski-db.com also has "Gertrud" (http://www.ski-db.com/db/profiles/wgblge.asp).  However, the official FIS website currently lists her as "Gertrude" (see ).  It seems that "Gertrud" is the spelling used during her skiing career (and probably the correct spelling as well), but I'm not certain.
