Talk:Odotope theory

message: This article seems to cite no scientific articles or review articles. Adrian (1950) first proposed the term odotopy. I recommend that this article be deleted if references cannot be provided. unsigned comment by User:DrEricH 
* I just checked Adrian, 1950, btw the article is called SENSORY DISCRIMINATION: With Some Recent Evidence from the Olfactory Organ. I did not find any reference to odotopy in Adrian's article. I don't see why you recommend deletion of this article and I think you are rash with your recommendation. I put the original reference in the reference section, so I think you should be satisfied, anyways. Ben  T/C  13:16, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Remove?

message: Someone is encouraged to check the math underlying the claim that a finite number of receptors can 'theoretically' detect an infinite number of smells.  Despite combinatorial explosion (which is huge), the number of combinations of a finite number of receptors is finite (unless the sequence of detection is important AND the same receptor could be triggered a different number of times for different odors). unsigned comment by User:DoNNNald. 
* It is correct to say receptors can theoretically can detect an infinite number of odorants because of the different affinities of each receptor to odorants, although the actual number is a function of training. An often cited estimation of numbers of distinguishable odors which puts the number of distinguishable odors at 10,000 is a paper by either Axel or Buck or both, I think from 1996. I don't know how they came up with this number. If we were talking about all or nothing reactions to odorants you would be right with your doubts about theoretical infinity of odor perceptions, however the picture is more complex (as you suggest in parenthesis). Each odorant molecule activates a lot of different odorant receptors, each with a different frequency (according to affinity). This is reflected in frequencies and intensities of activation of olfactory sensory neurons of each receptor type. Apart from this, there are more unresolved complexities lurking: possibly the sequence of activation is important, as could be the situation of activated olfactory neurons in the epitelium. As for the last, this could give information about e.g. the hydrophobicity and weight of odorants. There could be also an importance in the shape of the epithelium which possibly has a filter (or rather separator) function, though this is far from clear yet. These theoretical considerations are supported by opinions by odorant experts, such as perfumists (this is often given as argument in articles) who state that no two odors smell exactly the same. Do I make sense to you? Ben  T/C  12:20, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Murray McLauchlan

message: I will be undoing a 2012 edit that removed the "The" from the title of "The Farmer's Song" in the Discography/Singles section.  The edit comments state that the "The" was removed because it isn't present in a various artists compilation with the song.  The editor included a link that unfortunately no longer exists.  I could find no similar link on the given site (http://www.truenorthrecords.com).
The song first appears on McLauchlan's self-titled LP Murray McLauchlan.  The back cover track listing and media label of the Canadian release (True North TN-9) has the "The".  The actual single, True North TN4-113, also has the "The".  The discography on McLauchlan's official website  has the "The" in the track listing but not in the short album description.  McLauchlan's 1978 compilation, "Greatest Hits" (True North TN-35) does not have the "The" on either the back cover track listing or media label.
I could not find guidance in the Manual of Style for this situation.  With both the single and source album using the "The" it seems appropriate to include it here.

Talk:Georgia and Alabama Railway

message: I've deleted the following paragraph, which accurately reflects the information in the source given; however, the source must be mistaken, as the G&A Railway was not formed until 1895.  On the comprehensive railga.com site, I find no listing of a "Georgia and Alabama Railroad," such as the source in this paragraph refers to.  I'm posting the paragraph here in case another editor can use it:
:The railroad was built using the labor of convicts. On May 11, 1868, Thomas Rugor, Georgia's provisional governor, issued a convict lease for 100 African American prisoners, who would have been former slaves, to William Fort for work on the Georgia and Alabama Railroad as a solution to the labor shortage problem. (Todd, W. (2005). Convict Lease System. In The New Georgia Encyclopedia. Retrieved October 1, 2006, from http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2635) Convict leasing was a system of penal labour instituted some parts of the South after the emancipation of slaves by the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865.

Talk:Murray Thompson

message: Neutral point of view (NPOV) is a fundamental Wikimedia principle and a cornerstone of Wikipedia. All Wikipedia articles and other encyclopedic content must be written from a neutral point of view, representing fairly, and as far as possible without bias, all significant views that have been published by reliable sources. This is non-negotiable and expected of all articles and all editors.
For example:
"A strong workhorse, Thompson is known to be accessible, highly competent, intelligent and creative in his electoral work. A skilled speaker and loyal community player, Thompson has built solid rapport across many ethnic, civic, environmental, sporting and school communities in his electorate and elsewhere. Appreciated for his genuine communication skills and intellectual command of wider policy issues, Thompson is known as a politician 'worth his wage' and respected for his professionalism, competency and good will."
I am not in a position to dispute the validity of such assertions, but if this is indeed published, widespread opinion, then these statements require sufficient citation. One could only question the objectivity of these statements if they remain unsubstantiated, compromising the integrity of not only these assertions, but the article altogether.
