message: Is there a particular reason why the biblical Flood is almost entirely missing from this page (apart from a few offhand references)? It would seem to be one of the most prevalent versions of such a myth in contemporary mythology. FabBol (talk) 18:05, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: You are correct, apart from images, where it seems over-represented, it's pretty much WP:LEAD-only in the current version. Perhaps it was removed when someone trimmed uncited text from the article, but that's a guess. It does have its' own article, Genesis flood narrative, but a paragraph in the Mythologies-section seems WP:DUE. Get a couple of good refs and be WP:BOLD. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 18:36, 10 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, this needs to be fixed. Per WP:SUMMARY, it should be covered here, just in highly-compressed detail since there is a main article on it. In its present state, this article is actually quite confusing in mentioning the best-known flood myth in the lead then never covering it the main body of the article. I suspect that coverage of it was removed by some Abrahamic religionist.  — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ 😼  22:10, 26 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Cornmarket Street

message: Now that the renovation is done, someone should take a photograph.  I suggest taking one from the Costa coffee shop in Waterstone's. -- Kaihsu 14:06, 2004 Apr 18 (UTC)
I have rephrased the portion about the street being the second worst street in the country. As originally worded it suggested that buses still used the street until the 2003 repaving. The reality waas that they ceased to use Cornmarket in 1999. The vote was no doubt influenced by the false start made in repaving the road in c.2001. GraemeMoughan 16:17, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Legendary creature

message: Do the sources in this article actually use the term "legendary creature" as used in this article? :bloodofox: (talk) 17:04, 15 March 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article Status 

message: Perhaps this came after a lot of compromises and additions or something, but the current article opener is a holy mouthful. I made bold the stuff that doesn't seem like it makes the sentence any more informative: A legendary, mythical, or mythological creature, traditionally called a fabulous beast or fabulous creature, is a fictitious, imaginary and often supernatural animal, often a hybrid, sometimes part human, whose existence has not or cannot be proved and that is described in folklore or fiction but also in historical accounts before history became a science. What is the difference between mythical and mythological, and why isn't one enough? Giving the "fabulous beast"/"fabulous creature" alt name is questionable because I doubt that term was used for any and all sorts of legendary creatures. Saying it's usually a hybrid is kind of specific, and the "sometimes part human" is far too specific to lead with. "but also in historical accounts before history became a science" is just going to confuse readers. Syrian elephants were only attested in Ancient sources, yet they are not "legendary".

Talk:Hebern rotor machine

message: This article claims, in its "History" section, that: 
"He [Edward Hugh Hebern] made his first drawings of a rotor-based machine in 1917,[2] built a sample, and patented it in 1918."
This claim – namely, that Hebern patented his cipher machine in 1918 – is repeated in the Wiki article "Edward Hugh Hebern".
These claims are false.  Neither this article nor the article on Hebern cites any reference for this claim – because no such reference exists, because the claim is false. 
In 1918, Hebern did indeed build a model of his cipher machine – it's displayed in the U.S. National Security Agency's museum (https://www.nsa.gov/resources/everyone/digital-media-center/image-galleries/cryptologic-museum/machines/) – however, he did NOT patent it in 1918.
*  In the records of the U.S. Patent Office, there is no record of a patent for a rotor cipher machine having been issued to Hebern in 1918.
*  Hebern's 1924 patent for a rotor cipher machine can be seen here:  Hebern, Edward H.,  "Electric coding machine," U.S. Patent no. 1,510,441 (filed: 1921 March 31 ; issued:  1924 September 30)
*  There are multiple sources that state that Hebern applied for a patent for a rotor cipher machine in 1921 and that such a patent was issued in 1924. See, for example: 
:*  
:*  
:*  
:*  
Therefore, I am revising the above cited sentence to read:
"Hebern made his first drawings of a rotor-based machine in 1917,[2] and in 1918, he built a model of it; in 1921, he applied for a patent for his machine, and a patent for it was issued in 1924."
