Talk:Cloze

message: I've been taught in my literacy classes that for a cloze assessment, the first and last sentences of the selection must be kept intact in order to establish the subject and such.  Is this a variation or what?  Metros232 00:38, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: First/last sentences

message: This article has a merge reco with cloze exam, but the 'cloze deletion' pattern occurs in more contexts than just the examinations. Consequently it is appropriate to expand this article to indicate that fact. It might be also appropriate to merge cloze exam into this article, but the point is more content and sturcture needs to be added. Hope someone out there is willing to help chip in. dr.ef.tymac 16:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:History of genetics

message: The current version of this page is what we would call in the field the "scientist's view of history" -- teleological, Whig history, etc. For those looking to expand this, I highly recommend Peter J. Bowler's, The Mendelian Revolution, which does a much better job at explaining the history of genetics in a non-teleological sense.

replies: text:  I'm afraid this was a terrible idea in retrospect. What we have now is a short but reasonably fluent and at least partly-cited article, followed by a bullet-list, almost wholly uncited, repeating the conventional "wisdom" of a first school course in genetics that is already in the cited text, and ignoring all the nuances (where's mutationism, for instance?) that don't fit neatly into such a naive directional (onwards and upwards! progress!) view of how science works. In short, it's both untidy and unwittingly dishonest. One option would be to attempt a merge, though the things really don't fit (and the whole thing would need a rewrite even more urgently if we put all those bitty uncited factoids into the text), or it could be split out again. Chiswick Chap (talk) 13:13, 14 October 2022 (UTC)

* Goitre, a spoof version - I don't get this at all. A spoof of Jam (TV series)? That's certainly not what Goitre links to. Again, this page if for disambiguation of the term Jam.

Second, this page makes no sense in a few places.  Language like "Block only refer to:"--I'm assuming that this means using the word block as a stand-alone, but that's an assumption and even so, what's wrong with "Block may refer to:"
I'm also confused as to what's going on with the break-down--what makes the last four terms different then the first set--why are they categorised seperately?

Indeed, the pope is elected so by being elected the bishop of Rome. These two articles should neither be separated because of Protestant, or general non-Catholic, views. Most Protestants, to the extent of my knowledge, refer to the current holder of the papacy as Pope Benedict XVI, as do all media sources.
