message: :Proposal to split article into two, one article to present the minimal information content on "May Queen" as a mythological figure and the other two present a less general content on "May Queen".

thread_title: Hayfield May Queen Festival the oldest

message: The article seems to have mixed the two concepts of Queen of the May (the tree Prunus Padus) which has roots to pre-historic times in British Celtic folklore (cf. Robert Graves' The White Queen and Frazer's The Golden Bough) with the modern day May Queen celebrations which derive from it. The fact that the time of the celebration is also in the month of May hasn't helped. Jatrius (talk) 18:37, 17 April 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Olga Mostepanova

message: I changed "Baraksonova" to "Baraksanova", although I'm not 100% sure... Gymnast.ru and "Whatever happened..." "votes for Baraksanova". And googling for "Irina Baraksonova" returned five results, while for "Irina Baraksanova" it returned 158 results. Of course, such a "Google research" is not reliable — "a" in her last name maybe just a wide-spread mistake. Hence, if I was wrong to change it in the article, please, revert my change.

replies: text: I think it's fine. When some of the Russian names get translated to English, there are often variations--ie. Chorkina instead of Khorkina, the different spellings of Turischeva, Nellie vs. Nelli, etc. It makes sense to use the most common and widely accepted.

Template talk:Time zones of Europe

message: I made a whole bunch of changes to this template. The biggest of course was the time offsets. Anyone might think the current local time in France was UTC+1 if I hadn't corrected it.
Now, does this confuse people, or help them?
Are we all clear on the difference betweew time zones and time offsets?
And most of all, do our readers want to know the current time offset in France (e.g., UTC+2) or do they want to know that when it's not on European Summer Time France observes UTC+1? I'm not from Europe, so I wouldn't know. --Uncle Ed 18:40, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

message: Below are some images using the hue4map unified coloring system, the hue repeats every 6 hours, longitude= 0 -> hue=0 (red). Thus UTC, UTC+6, UTC+12, UTC-6 all use red. UTC+1, UTC+7, UTC+13, UTC-5 all use yellow. Using a unified color system allows the reader to easier recognize offsets, and reduces the number of colors used on a page like UTC+08:00, where maps from Russia, China, Indonesia and Australia are shown.

Talk:Self-anchored suspension bridge

message: As a non-engineer, I read the lead with its description of vertical and horizontal compression several times before concluding that it just doesn't communicate the point--at least to a broad readership. Moreover, the description lacks citations and appears nowhere else in the article, as you'd expect with a complex idea.  The physics are important because they (presumably) explain why an SAS bridge doesn't need anchorages.  But a clear explanation begs to be written. Barte (talk) 23:54, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

message: Why does the infobox say "Falsework required: Sometimes", while the article says "Because the primary cables cannot be anchored until the bridge deck is completed, a self-anchored suspension bridge requires some falsework during construction.".

message: Prunus mahaleb gives you mahaleb... Two articles?!--عبد المؤمن (talk) 03:51, 25 February 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: All of the Wikipedia spice pages are linking to Mahlab as a spice. Most of the readers with culinary spice interest don't want to read a description of the tree of more than one or two sentences. Prunus mahaleb includes four paragraphs of description and ecology of the tree. This is why there are two articles. Nevertheless I think it would be better to merge the two articles, and have just one article. The merged article would be organized the same as the current Prunus mahaleb article, i.e. a section about the tree and a section about the spice. A merger would mean that the extra info at Mahlab would be copied over into the spice section at Prunus mahaleb and then the Mahlab article would be reduced to a #REDIRECT. For the benefit of the spice readers, either (A) make the #REDIRECT go to the section of the Prunus mahaleb article that talks about the spice or (B) make the #REDIRECT go to the beginning of the Prunus mahaleb article and relocate the botany info about the tree to the end of the article. I would prefer (B). There is no reason why the spice info can't come before the tree info. Undoubtedly the spice info holds more interest for more readers than the tree info does.

thread_title: [Untitled]

message: I posted two short texts about two heteronyms of Pessoa: Álvaro de Campos and Ricardo Reis. I'm Portuguese and I know my English is far from flawless... Needless to say, I did my best, but I know my best is not good enough. 
One major difficulty is the level of language. I don't want it to sound too formal, "posh", and on the other hand I'm afraid to mix different levels, e.g., to use colloquial and formal words in the very same sentence. I'd like to write something about Alberto Caeiro but I'd rather wait to see the changes and to think about them - I'm an eager learner!
So is there anyone who loves Pessoa - and the English language ;) - willing to give me a hand? Thanx a mill!

message: This article should most definitely be about the abstract concept of what a heteronym is. Rather than doing so objectively, it relies on the foundation of the 72 characters Pessoa has made. This is a good essay on Pessoa's heteronyms but as an encyclopedic entry requires some further improvements - most definitely requires a slighter detachment from the example entity of the subject.

# The tone is not all that encyclopedic, but sounds more like marketing to me.
# It's not clear to me what the paragraph in question is talking about. The article is about the Alloy language. The paragraph appears to be talking about some kind of tool for use with the Alloy language, but doesn't say which one.
Can anyone clarify what tool is being discussed?
