Talk:Illinois Central 121

message: I'm wondering if this should be moved to Illinois Central 121 or Green Diamond (IC 121) to disambiguate the train and the trainset.  The Green Diamond train ran for some time after this trainset was moved to the Miss-Lou. —Morven 19:48, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Thionyl chloride

message: Does anyone know easier steps to get the synthesis of Thionyl chloride??
:I recall making SOCl2 in high school via one of the methods you show, SO2 and PCl5, it is easy.  Greenwood & Earnshaw (Chemistry of the Elements) indicates that this is the standard lab method, but on an industrial scale it is done via SO3 + SCl2 → SOCl2 + SO2.  The third method shown presently is in effect a sum of the second method + this industrial route.  I will add the industrial process to the page. Walkerma 15:58, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Highway system in Taiwan

message: The country name on the passports for all Taiwanese nationals(include those from the island of Taiwan, Pescadores, Kinmen and Matzu) is "Republic of China (Taiwan)". The government of Taiwan uses the name "Government Information Office, Republic of China (Taiwan)" (http://www.gio.gov.tw), too. Therefore, officially, Taiwan is a synonym for Republic of China,and this is also the most common usage in the Western. For being information-oriented article in an encyclopaedia, I see no reason to use the expression "Highways in the Taiwan Area of the Republic of China", which is unclear either for a Taiwanese or a Westerner. Therefore, I rewrote it as:
the highway system within the region under the administration of Taiwan(vaguely equivalent to Republic of China after 1949, also known by Republic of China(Taiwan), Chinese Taipei, Republic of China on Taiwan, etc.)..
This might not be favored by those who want to stress that "Taiwan is not a synonym for Republic of China", but this is the way both government of Taiwan and most Western media use them, and the way allows people to understand the Taiwan-related articles more easily and efficiently.

message: I noticed this article listed as one needing sources on the Texas or DFW Wiki projects. Having covered Giddings and the Legislature before, I elected to try to help this article. 
Essentially, the biggest portion with remaining problems is now under "Legislative Accomplishment." That is all what was in the article when I got there to do the edits, and it is taking a long time to find all of the appropriate sources, so I will work on that ongoing. Nothing in that section is actually untrue, it is just that the sources are time consuming to find because of Texas legislative websites. I will work on finding sources for that ongoing. 
I am not happy with the level of individual biographical data on the subject either, and will endeavor to find more to help fill the article out in terms of early biographical data from local news sources, or the Dallas Public Library vertical files.

replies: text: Good point. It also points out that beard growth is hardly the "essence of virility" anyway. "Virtue", for example, does not imply anything about beards. I'll attempt to get this article to start class at some stage, if no one else does it. At that point I'll probably intervene to "spoil the fun". Irrelevant material can be removed by anyone, anytime, though. Alastair Haines (talk) 01:56, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I disagree. The picture represents an aspect of virility, that is beard growth which has recognized throughout time to represent virility.

thread_title:  Redirect 

message: According to the article, Oxford English Dictionary states that virility is just as well applied to women. But here's what the dictionary actually says: 
 1. 
 a. The period of life during which a person of the male sex is in full vigour; mature or fully developed manhood or masculine force.
 b. transf. or fig.
 c. Masculine vigour; masculinity of sex.
 2. 
 †a. The generative organs. Obs.
 b. The power of procreation; capacity for sexual intercourse. [with male examples]
 †c. pl. = 2b. Obs.
 3.
 a. Manly strength and vigour of action or thought; energy or force of a virile character.
 b. transf.
Note that 3a has one female reference: 1716   J. Addison Freeholder No. 26. ⁋7,   "I have lately been told of a Country-Gentlewoman, pretty much famed for this Virility of Behaviour in Party-Disputes."
That seems to imply to me that the woman did not behave as was generally expected from gentlewomen. I don't think the description in this article is correct. Weidorje (talk) 08:09, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

"No good deed goes unpunished" has never been truer than in this article. The tag I placed on the international criticism part (clarification needed) is, well, it doesn't even say what they are criticised for. So that might need a little source-dive to figure out. Also, I meant what I said about eliminating the "Controversy" section in favor of merging the criticism into "History" and other appropriate sections. Thanks. Elizium23 (talk) 13:00, 1 April 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Sounds good. Curious to see how you structure it, since structure seems like the biggest problem to me. I noticed someone moved the part about the hospital up to "current activities" for an unclear reason. The titles "current activities" and "ongoing programs" seem rather redundant (and terms like "current"/"ongoing" are WP:WTW). Then there's the Operation Christmas Child section, which is a sole awkward subsection under ongoing programs, and also combines programmatic activity and criticism, but we have a whole other section for controversy that doesn't include it. It's not immediately clear to me what the best way to set it up is. Maybe a brief section on criticism of the organization broadly, moving any criticism of specific programs into subsections about those programs (and, as you point out, expanding on what those programs do to begin with)? I probably don't need to say this, but of course all information about the organization's activities should come from high-quality reliable sources independent of the subject rather than the subject or sources connected to it.

Talk:Affluenza

message: According to an article at Meriam Webster, it looks like Affluenza was used as early as 1918. Can we add this to the article?
"
Affluenza is defined in Merriam-Webster’s Unabridged as “the unhealthy and unwelcome psychological and social effects of affluence regarded especially as a widespread societal problem.” The word was not coined at Couch’s trial; it has been in English use throughout much of the 20th century. Initially it was employed in a jocular fashion, as in an article from the Houston Post in 1918:
“It is not the sneezing of the Spanish influenza that Liberty needs, but a little more ‘coughing’ on the part of American affluenza.”
