text: I don't think they are the same picture in different forms if that's what you mean by 'original'. I'll try to upload a black-and-white version of the smaller image from Britannica too. I have also uploaded a high quality version of the Naturalist image: :Image:Naturalist on the River Amazons figure 32.png. There are others with Bates in them too; they should all be uploaded within a month at most. I note that the version I have scanned from is almost certainly a truncated one. Would the two volumes one have more/different images, or would they have just truncated some of the text? Richard001 (talk) 06:23, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Images

message: During his 11-year stay in the Amazon, Henry Walter Bates is reported as having collected over 14000 species of insects, 8000 of them new to science. This was reported by Clodd (1892: lxiv) in an obituary. As an entomologist working in the Amazon, I would say this estimate is reasonable. These numbers are again relected in this article, but they are given for specimens rather than species.Wloveral (talk) 00:09, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Curvature of the spine picture 

message: made some changes to cervical vertebrae section. I know the article is about the vertebrae, but thought it appropriate to make reference to the joints and establish them as providing the movement, which also allowed for links to same. For instance, the atlanto-occipital joint includes the occipital condoyles, which have as much to do with 'up and down' movement (no doubt there is a more formal term for this movement -if found will provide) of the skull as the atlas. Similarly for the axis and inferior atlas within the atlanto-axial joint. I included 'for the most part' to caveat that other cervical joints play a lesser part in the movements stated, without getting into all the details that are or should be covered in the associated linked articles. (e.g., I think rotation of the head is continued by lateral/elliptical movement of the occipital condyles upon the atlas within the atlanto-occipital joint? - hope to look into entire presentation in the future, although looking into and editing the entire presentation of a topic within wiki is often a daunting taskJauntymcd 17:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  cervical vertebrae - movement of neck (and head) 

message: I came here looking for vertebrae in general, not vertebrae in humans. This page totally needs a disambiguation link at the least; and possibly a name change. The latter would then necessitate some new redirects, I think. Probably quite a bit of finagling that I'm not capable of.

Talk:Greenhorn, Oregon

message: Most property owners in Greenhorn have small cabins that are only used as summer vacation homes. Those cabins are occupied off and on during summer months sometimes for just a weekend, and at other times for a week or two. Most of the property owners' principle residences are in the Willamette Valley, and City Council meetings are sometimes held in Oregon City. Since 2002 one house has been occupied nearly full time including during the winter. From late November through April or May snow keeps the roads closed to all vehicles except snowmobiles and other over snow vehicles. A few property owners will visit their cabins in the winter using snowmobiles. The Sumpter Snowmobile Club grooms a trail through Greenhorn which is a popular riding area. Cross country skiers rarely make it to Greenhorn in the winter because it is more than seven miles from the nearest plowed road.
This is very interesting, but it needs to backed up with citations to reliable sources. The fact that Greenhorn has "zero population" is pretty interesting and I bet some of this info has been written up in a newspaper or magazine. Katr67 (talk) 19:58, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Jesse B. Thomas

message: I cleaned this up a bit while in a library after a lecture on Illinois' bicentennial, but ancestry.com was acting up again, and I got kicked out as the library closed. Oddly, one record indicates he was a veteran of the War of 1812 and ultimately buried as such. I know Lincoln and many others also served in that war or the Blackhawk war. I don't remember Thomas' attitude on slavery in the Illinois Constitutional Convention, but a quick ancestry.com search does not show him as owning slaves in 1850, but instead living with his elderly wife, a middle-aged American-born servant and two Irish servants. I know his name is common, including among Quakers, but cannot quickly discern his religion -- and I have pressing personal matters to attend to the rest of the week. I did note that Southern Illinois University Press recently published a book about his role in the Missouri Compromise, so I hope someone can clean this up further.Jweaver28 (talk) 02:10, 7 June 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Granite, Oregon

message: From the article: 
As of the census of 2010, there were 38 people, 22 households, and 13 families residing in the city. . .
2.6% of residents were under the age of 18; 0% were between the ages of 18 and 24; 2.6% were from 25 to 44; 50.1% were from 45 to 64; and 44.7% were 65 years of age or older.
How can you have 50.1% of 38? If there were 19 people between 45 and 64, that would be exactly 50%, not 50.1%. If there were 20 people, that would be 52.6%. 108.246.205.134 (talk) 06:15, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point. The original statistics were entered by robotic software for all the U.S. town and city articles for the entire encyclopedia. In many cases, this makes the numbers harder to read, in my opinion, and the level of precision makes little sense. With such a small population as we have here, the defects show up more starkly. I've rounded the numbers now, and I hope they make more sense. Because of the rounding, totals sometimes equal 101 percent or 99 percent instead of 100 percent, but I think I added enough "about"s that this is not really a problem. If you see any way to improve this further, please do, or post a further note here. Finetooth (talk) 17:08, 31 July 2013 (UTC)
