thread_title: possibly merged with

message: This article has virtually nothing about post-Renaissance. All the monumental altarpieces of the counter-reformation, baroque, rococo, classicism, 20th century etc. have not been debated. Some of the many, many, many famous examples are:
* Bernini's Ecstasy of Saint Teresa
* Rubens' altar in Santa Maria in Vallicella
* Altar of St. Ignatius in the Church of the Gesù
* High altar of the Basilica in the Escorial
* Wieskirche
* Asamkirche
This list could be nearly endlessly expanded.
Check articles on Baroque churches in Bohemia, Spain, Belgium, Italy, France, Bavaria, Austria, South America. Plenty of good examples to be found there. Important classicist examples like Church of Our Lady, Copenhagen, and later ones require a bit more research. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gerbis (talk • contribs) 12:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:William Street (Manhattan)

message: Okay, so I've produced a few more more options. I went down the entire stretch of William Street and in my opinion looking south at William and Maiden offers the most picturesque view the street has to offer, with many notable buildings within frame. I will at some point go out and get more north-facing images along with some landscape views as I comb across the neighborhood. As I'm sure you know, getting street-level shots in New York City can be quite difficult. You've got traffic and people blocking the view, and meanwhile you have to make sure you don't get hit by a car. On top of all that I'm still getting used to my new camera. #2 and #3 are the same vantage point but one has more of the Federal Reserve in it, the other more vibrant colours. I'm sure BMK or someone can tweak them as well. Hopefully you'll find these useful! — MusikAnimal talk 02:33, 3 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: I've just spent some time trying to think of an alternative which isn't rampantly POV, and failing.  The style of the prose is characteristic of the Victorian period, and is heavy, dull, hard reading, and at least one text was even translated throughout into Jacobean English full of Thee's and Thou's.  "Old fashioned" seems to cover the ground.  But if someone can think of a concise way of saying that, let's have it.  Roger Pearse 20:05, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text:  The thee's and thou's are not there to sound archaic and so beautiful; they are there because the languages translated preserve the distinctions between first and second persons, singulars and plurals. It is also anachronistic to call such old translations "rather old-fashioned" if they hew to the formal literary style of English prose employed in that time.tooMuchData 18:24, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Humanized antibody

message: Once the humanized antibody gene is available, wouldn't the Virginia Tech process known as MEGAPHARM developed by Professor Carol Cramer allow it to be produced inexpensively in tobacco plants?
Croptech went bankrupt before they finished demonstrating the effectiveness of MegaPharm but perhaps you are in the right place to use the IP involved. They had a way to make human pharmaceuticals in tobacco plants. Tobacco phosphorylates  proteins more like people do than like bacteria do.
MEchanical Gene Activation Post HARvest Manufacturing
They have a promoter that takes effect when the tobacco plant suffers severe damage. Not from a mere insect nibbling on a leaf somewhere, or even when the plant is chopped off at the ground, but rather when the plant is shredded as if to make cigarettes.
They use an address on the front of the protein being produced which says "excrete me".
Thus the novel product DOES NOT get made in the field, but only in the shredding shed. After shredding, you put the pile of tobacco in the corner to madly produce the desired protein in the next 24 to 48 hours as the cells are dying. When you wash the product out of the tobacco, it is already as pure as if it had been produced in bacterial vats and gone through five or six stages of purification.
They harvest when the plant is about a foot high since then it has all the cells it will have. This means that you can get several densely grown crops per year. You may even be able to regrow from the roots once or twice.
When you have one plant with the correct gene insertion accomplished, you can get a million seeds from it and have a whole field growing in the very next crop cycle. This is vastly faster and cheaper than the creation of a bacterial vat facility.
The expert I know is Carol Cramer at a university in Arkansas if I have it right.

message: One sentence of the article reads:
"Holy Living is the less interesting but more useful of the two books, being largely concerned with questions of practical morality, of a type that have hardly changed from the 17th century to today. "
There is of course nothing wrong with saying what the books are "concerned with".  But to say one book "is the less interesting but more useful of the two books" is entirely inappropriate for an encyclopedia, since questions of interest and usefulness are ones of personal opinion, not fact.

thread_title:  merge proposal for [[Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens]] 

message: Regarding this edit summary in the article history:
04:21, 2 December 2007 (the play and novel were sequels to TLWB, not adaptations) - 
This is something that would need a reference to support it.  I have not seen any authors refer to Peter and Wendy (the novel), or Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Would Not Grow Up (the play) as a "sequel" to Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens.  They are related mostly by the presence of the Peter Pan character, and the structural plot device of a short segment in London followed by a longer story in a fantasy world, followed by a short return to London.  Other than Peter Pan, the characters and settings are different and there is no consistent backstory that connects the two stories. For example, in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens, the narrator says that Peter Pan never ages, yet in Peter and Wendy, Peter Pan is portrayed as several years older.  There are many more examples.
There is clearly a literary progression between the stories, but they are not sequels and also are not adaptations. (The later novel is however, an adaptation of the play, as stated by references).
Either way though, it's not up to us to decide, we can only describe the relationship between the stories as it is reported by references.  If we don't have the references, all we can say is that the later stories include literary development of the character of Peter Pan, the boy who would not grow up, introduced in the earlier story; and his adventures with human children in a fantasy world.  To go beyond that and call it a sequel or adaptation, we would need references to support that idea. --Linda 08:06, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: You're correct that "sequel" isn't the right word. My point was to correct the implication in the article that TLWB was simply an earlier version of the story in the play.  I didn't call it a "sequel" in the article itself, and I think it's a bit much to ask for footnotes to comments made only in edit summaries.  Whether the two stories are mutually compatible is in fact a valid subject for debate; the continuity differences are arguably no greater than those between the original Star Trek pilot and Enterprise. :) - JasonAQuest (talk) 17:10, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
