Talk:Yamaha Tenori-on

message: I'm wondering if we should remove the link to the Yamaha Tenori-on site - since linking to it contravenes the external links advice concerning sites which "primarily exist to sell products or services".

thread_title:  Link to Source for version 2.0 firmware 

message: 2011-09-16 2355 - RD - All that I can see on the first couple of pages on Google talks about the white and orange versions, and who uses it. I'd never heard of it until today, and I can't find any reference which tells me what it does. The fact that it has a given number of LEDs and that you hold it in your hands and you can copy a block from one place to another doesn't in any way address this basic question. A paragraph in this page which explained that would be very good. Pretty please? Rd@cotswold-it.co.uk (talk) 22:58, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  What does it do? 

message: There is still not an answer to the question above ("What does it do?"), at least for someone who expects an "instrument". If it weren't for the loudspeakers, I'd expect to see it described as a controller or interface. More detail about sound production, if any, and the functions of the array of buttons beyond "Any of these switches may be activated in a number of different ways" would certainly be helpful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:16B8:2CF6:F200:CD47:83AD:AA4F:4621 (talk) 14:04, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Zygoballus

message: I'm trying to locate the original descriptions for some of the more obscure species. Here's the info I've found so far:
The original descriptions for Zygoballus maculatus and Zygoballus tibialis are both in:
Pickard-Cambridge, Frederick Octavius (1901). Arachnida - Volume II: Araneidea and Opiliones. In Biologia Centrali-Americana. Dulau & Co., London.
Here are the original descriptions for Zygoballus tibialis and Zygoballus maculatus:
Zygoballus tibialis, sp. n.
Type male, gynetype female in coll. Godman and Salvin. Total length, male 3, female 4 millim.
Hab. Guatemala (Sarg).
The male can be at once recognized from other Central-American forms by the much enlarged tibial spur of the palpus. Legs ii., iii., and iv. are unicolorous yellow. In the female the legs are spotted with black at the apex of the segments, and the abdomen has a very striking dorsal pattern of white spots and bands. The latter sex can be known amongst closely allied forms by the shape of the vulva.
Zygoballus maculatus, sp. n.
Type, female, in coll. Godman and Salvin. Total length 3 millim.
Hab. Guatemala (Sarg).
This species is black, with a few white dorsal and marginal spots on the abdomen, and the legs i. brown, and ii., iii., and iv. yellow, annulated with black. It is probably recognizable by the form of the vulva only, for the coloration in these spiders is very variable, the general pattern being common to many of them.

Talk:Portia labiata

message: Hello! I am a student from a behavioral ecology course working on the Wikispiders project. This article has some really interesting, well-written information especially about the hunting tactics of the spider. I would suggest breaking some of the larger blocks of text into some of the WikiSpider General Guideline suggestions. For example, making a section on webs and physiology of the spider. This will make the article more user friendly and organized. Akwan826 (talk) 05:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

message: Hi, I am also another student working to contribute to the Wikispiders project. I definitely think that some of the larger paragraphs could be further broken down to be read more easily. I would also suggest adding an "Enemies" section to be able to talk more about the diseases. In addition, adding the "parental care" section could be helpful because I think some of the paragraphs in the "Reproduction and lifestyle" has a lot of elements that could be under "parental care".

thread_title: How long do they live for?

message: Hello! I am a college student taking a Behavioral Ecology course. This article written on the zebra spider is fairly detailed in the information currently presented, but it is lacking a bit in the behavioral department. The lead section is interesting and definitely tells you important information about the spider, such as the fact that it is a jumping spider that doesn’t build a web and is named based on its black/white coloration. It also talks about the scientific name’s Latin origin. For the behavior section, a very detailed account of the zebra spider’s hunting process is given, which is a definite plus. In terms of missing information, more could be given on the reproduction/mating section. While there is some information about courting, more detail could be given about, for example, male-male interaction/competition. The article could also benefit from adding information about social behavior as well. There is no information regarding whether the spider often associates with others or hunts alone. The only part addressing more than one spider is the section about reproduction. Lastly, information regarding the zebra spider’s predators could be helpful as well. The article only mentions what the zebra spider will hunt, but not what it gets hunted by. The talk page had one comment asking how long the spiders live for, which also would be a good thing to include in the article. In terms of the importance rating, I would agree that it is mid-importance. These spiders seem fairly common depending on where you are from, but I haven’t seen one myself so I don’t think it deserves to be any higher than mid-importance. B-class also makes sense since the article does have some good information, but is missing some other important info. Nickh994 (talk) 05:39, 6 October 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Sedimentation (water treatment)

message: --Alex 10:01, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

message: There are presently two articles and a redirect on this subject.
This article contains information about the physics of sedimentation and some of the more sophisticated implementation designs.
Clarifier presently redirects to this article.
Settling basin was originally intended to describe primitive sedimentation structures, but has been expanded into a better-referenced description of sedimentation physics and clarifier design.
I propose to convert the clarifier redirect to a description of steel and concrete structures with continuous sludge removal machinery. I then suggest moving much of the material from the settling basin article to either (1) this article if it pertains to the fundamental physics and mathematics or sedimentation, or (2) the clarifier article if it describes mechanized applications. Material remaining in the settling basin article would be a parallel description of low-tech earthen and concrete basins without sludge removal machinery for storm water treatment, dairy waste, construction site erosion control, and similar intermittent or short-term use. Some information in this article might be moved to the new clarifier article.Thewellman (talk) 00:56, 16 October 2013 (UTC)

A possible title might be "Grocery". This is the business itself, without regard to the shape of the building or the other types of business transacted in that place. A supermarket includes the grocery business and requires real, trained, grocers to work in it but it is not really a store or a shop. As far as I know, all English speakers use the word grocery in the same way. The calling of grocer, the professional skills and training could be a section of the article that combines grocer and grocery store. I think a merger would be good.
