Talk:Phosphonate

message: Following the IUPAC naming recommendations of 2005, the inorganic acid HPO(OH)2 is called phosphonic acid and its salts previously called phosphites are now to be termed phosphonates. This is what is taught in the US system which has adopted the 2005 recommendations. I'll put this on the to-do list! Axiosaurus (talk) 18:48, 5 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Phosphonates are inorganic ionic compounds as well ! 

message: The text of this article is adequate.  I'd suggest a change in the illustration, one that emphasizes--as opposed to unconsciously de-emphasizing--the phosphorous-carbon covalence that is the essence of phosphonates.  My suggestion would be to put the P-C bond on the left end, or maybe at the very top, with the designation R sub One.  If there's an official scientific convention calling on us to illustrate this structure in this confusing configuration in which the P-C bond is way over there on the right, last place we come to, and with the R sub Three designation, I'm not aware of that convention, and I've very recently reviewed the IUPAC rules. I sure hope sombody'll fix this, thanks wikipedia.

message: Roundup and glyphosate are not synonymous. Roundup includes adjuvants with separate degradation products. Monsanto's patent on glyphosate expired in 2000. Today there are glyphosate herbicides manufactured under more than 100 different brand names. At least 40% of the world's total supply is made by Chinese firms and not sold under the Roundup name . AMPA is a degradation product of the compound glyphosate, not the formulation Roundup. It is misleading to state otherwise. Wurdeh (talk) 21:03, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Professional wrestling/Style guide

message: Ever since In wrestling section was removed, the significance of the persona section suddenly elevated. Not all wrestlers rely on their gimmicks. For example, the character of The Undertaker and it's interpretations is worth mentioning where as AJ Styles is not, regardless of how notable they are. I consider this a burden to have this section, considering so many of the high quality articles like Shelton Benjamin, Fin Balor and Becky Lynch are missing section. Even articles like The Undertaker and Bobby Eaton does not have enough information regarding this. Sometimes it's hard to find reliable sources and it is enough to add in the Professional wrestling career section (eg, Becky Lynch "The Man"). Though I am not considering a complex change in policy, I would like more clarification regarding this section on the wrestling BLP style guide. Thanks!

thread_title:  ''Professional wrestling (style and) persona'' section 

message: The "In wrestling" section was removed last year in June but I think that the section was useful in terms of professional wrestling fans and readers who used to search Wikipedia. It was a very useful information for readers as we could get to know about the finishing moves and signature moves of professional wrestlers and we were able to know the real name of that move used. It was a very useful information regarding professional wrestlers but I have found very difficulty in getting that information. Kindly revive the "In wrestling" section.--Mark Linton (talk) 14:32, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

message: This rule has produced some ridicuous results on some pages, for example light comic releif match Steiner & Missy vs Arn and Paul E as "main event" of the 1991 Great American Bash instead of the Luger/Windham world title match and various borderline TV enhancement matches as "main events" of SNME, which was deliberately structured (a la Saturday Night Live) to have the big Hulk Hogan world title defence at the start so that viewers could doze off in front of the support bouts afterwards.  Some of these pages have had the main event relabelled "final match" but I think something should be done about this with this here style guide which seems to be at the root of the problem.Romomusicfan (talk) 11:02, 27 January 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Zooxanthella

message: I recently completed a course at Oberlin College on coral reefs which focused on their decline, the reasons for it, and what if anything to do about it. The professor, a published researcher who has been studying reef decline for decades, did not mention this effect on zooxanthellae. Assuming good faith on the part of the editor who added this effect, I searched JSTOR and Google Scholar for references to zooxanthellae mutation in reaction to exposure. I found no references to this effect in the published literature. If a citation can be found for this, I welcome its inclusion in the article.—WAvegetarian (talk) 19:00, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Monophyletic? -- Removed "fact check" and replaced with citation referencing this paragraph. 
It is widely held that the genus Symbiodinium is monophyletic within the dinoflagellate radiation based on nuclear SSU rDNA phylogeny (Saunders et al. 1997; Saldarriaga et al. 2001). In the phylogenetic tree of nuclear SSU rDNA from wide-ranging species of dinoflagellates, the Symbiodinium strains maintained in our laboratory constituted a monophyletic group with other described strains of this genus, indicating that they are closely related to each other.--JimmyButler (talk) 01:31, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

message: It seems like we need to make the relationship between Zooxanthellae and Symbiodinium clear.  As a non-specialist, my understanding is that zooxanthellae is a functional description (any symbiont of coral), while Symbiodinium is the genus in which all exemplars reside.  I am not sure if this is entirely correct, however.  Perhaps an expert can weigh in and we can clarify the article accordingly. --TeaDrinker (talk) 19:18, 13 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Two lines in the description section state "In the breeding season, the adult has a black plumaged head and a bright red fleshy rim around each eye. Outside the breeding season, the head is white and the eye rim becomes black." and cite Harris's "Breeding Ecology of the Swallow-tailed Gull". However, that source does not describe this phenomenon anywhere. It states that their breeding plumage includes a dark gray hood, while non-breeding plumage includes a white hood with a collar and slight dark area around the eyes. This source does not describe changes in eye ring color varying with the breeding season, nor do any other sources cited. Unfortunately, I don't have any substitute information about the eye ring. I see the difference in photos of breeding/nonbreeding adults, but this citation definitely does not support that.
