Talk:History of biotechnology

message: The article calmly assumes that the only thing that can be called biotechnology is science-based biotechnology. Yet some of the oldest technologies were biotechnologies e.g. the manufacture of yoghurt, sauercraut, leavened bread, salami, wine, beer involved live organisms and things like the vegetable tanning of leather might also be considered a biotechnology.Sheredot (talk) 17:21, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: except its not considered biotechnology. the term may sound like it covers all biosciences, but the actual definition is around the laboratory manipulation of gene sequences, not the exploitation of natural biological phenomena. This is the same kind of thinking which leads to snarky comments like "all food is organic, so labelling it organic is silly". its two different meanings for the same word. for biotech, its actually two words with two meanings: biosciences, for all biological sciences, and biotechnology. and anyone who thinks we have "always" practiced genetic engineering/biotech, because we have bred sheep, tomatos, etc. might as well say we have always practiced nuclear science, since we have been using atoms, which have nuclei, for millenia. we have also had our major source of energy a nuclear fusion power plant, so are we a fusion powered society?(mercurywoodrose)99.101.137.13 (talk) 01:13, 21 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Rothamsted Research

message: It seems strange that there is no mention of Rothamsted Research's role in testing genetically modified wheat, and the protests that have greeted that, as described by The Guardian.  As it stands, the article is little more than a public relations flyer for the institute, and hardly qualifies as following the Wikipedia policy of a neutral point of view.

Talk:Portobello railway station (Wolverhampton)

message: The original phrasing of the article included the sentence:
:There have been recent proposals to examine reopening of the station, along with Willenhall Bilston Street, though a reopening of Portobello seems very unlikely.
The reason that it seems unlikely is twofold.  The reference given (West Midlands Local Transport Plan for the corridor) is the only place that I've heard of as examining the reopening of the station, or at least a station in Portobello, if on a different site.  There are many references to Willenhall Bilston Street potentially being reopened, but not Portobello.
Secondly, a station that closed in the 19th century due to "being unprofitable" (The History of Portobello) seems a very unlikely candidate for reopening. 
Still, you can't prove a negative, so I've removed the offending phrase. My apologies for getting the wrong end of what you were querying, Andy! Fingerpuppet 19:24, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Seventh-day Adventist Commentary Reference Series

message: The words "ibid" are being used, for Wikipedia, incorrectly. Wikipedia must be allowed to insert it's own reference. The reference must be cited so that future editors do not have to worry about ibid following when they insert a new reference. Student7 19:46, 30 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing this out. The policy states that instead of ibid., editors can use either "named references" (which I didn't want, because the individual page numbers would be lost) or a form like "Smith, Short Title, 182". This will look a bit messy, as I suspect the Cottrell article will always be the predominant source, even though I expect other sources will be added also. Comments please. Colin MacLaurin 07:33, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: My suggestion is to used the "named" reference template. It is supposed to generate something similiar to what you are looking for. Student7 14:37, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The named reference system as I have used it ends up looking something like this: "a b c d Hawking, Stephen. Black Hole Radiation...." etc. It doesn't allow you to associate a particular page number with each reference. If there is functionality I am not aware of, please let me know. Could use named references and simply comment out the page numbers, to be reinserted if and when extra functionality is implemented, or for the reference of the serious student. Other option is use the other form suggested by the policy. Colin MacLaurin 15:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Ibid needs to be replaced

message: I am expanding the scope of the article to be the entire Commentary Reference Series, of which the Bible Commentary forms the first seven volumes. There is currently little content given about the other volumes. If there is any ambiguity, the comments probably refer to the Bible Commentary only. Colin MacLaurin 10:20, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Template talk:World of Darkness

message: I think there should be separate boxes for the old-line games (Masquerade, Dark Ages, Victorian Ages, Kindred of the East, Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom) and the new-line games (currently Requiem, soon to include Rome). There's so little overlap that the current box is more confusing than anything else, especially when placed on Requiem pages. If anything, a shared sidebar would be more appropriate for Requiem and Werewolf: the Forsaken than for Requiem and Masquerade. 208.54.95.1 21:48, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I could support this being done if the "line" part of the box (Masquerade, Dark Ages, Victorian Ages, Kindred of the East, Kindred of the Ebony Kingdom... etc) were given its own nav-box, then the line/version specific aspects of vampirism could be divided up appropriately into your suggested boxes.

message: The template was needlessly divided into sections, especially since almost everything in each section linked to the same article.

Nothing was removed, just better organized.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Flygongengar (talk • contribs) 04:54, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Okay Did Some Serious Clean Up 

message: I've had a hard time coming up with a good label for that grouping for a while, that is not overly long but does not overlap with the others, and something like "novels" doesn't work as Revelations of the Dark Mother is a poem (and there are also anthologies that likely pass WP:GNG, that just haven't been written about yet). I agree that "written fiction" doesn't really work for this, but "books" overlaps with the TTRPGs and TTRPG supplements, since they are published as books. Do you have any ideas for how to handle this?--AlexandraIDV 11:17, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Toy programming language

message: I noticed the last sentence of this article says "Whether this means that all purely interpreted or virtual machine languages are toys is left as an exercise for the reader.". I don't get why somebody writing an encyclopedia article would say something's left for the reader to figure out. I'd think this is copied directly from some textbook with no source given.
: No, that wasn't a cut and paste; I wrote it in jesat, as a nod to the academic aspect of programming languages.  Perhaps it was in poor taste; it is obviously misleading.  I would not object to it's removal. -- 66.15.179.18 (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this copied from a textbook? 

message: This last section is quite silly I'd say ... assuming your "toy language" is Turing complete, then of course you can write a compiler for itself in itself.
The operating system test is equally silly. Any language can be used to write an OS (again, if it is turing complete), as long as there is some way to run the language without one. For almost ALL modern languages, this requires some low level piping work - this would include Python, Java, Haskell, C#, Ruby. Surely at least one of those is "not a toy".
A far better test is whether the language implements facilities useful for humans, or whether it only provides primitive constructs necessary for its desired purpose. The latter would be a "toy" - by the admission of its designer. EatMyShortz (talk) 12:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
