Talk:Operations Manna and Chowhound

message: I quote from site:A total of 3100 flights were made by Bomber Command, and an additional 2200 by the American Air Force which joined the operation on May 1st. Operation Manna ended with Germany's surrender on May 8th. Although over 11 000 tons of food were dropped in the ten days of the operatio Maybe someone with the knowledge should check the figures and fix them. --CopperKettle (talk) 21:10, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: There is no historic evidence that it happened in 1454. I notice the "Festival Facts" and "The Legend" sections have no citations. There is dispute in Marostica itself about the accuracy of the Italian language wikipedia article on both Marostica and Piazza degli Scacchi, and I notice that between this article and both the Italian language articles there are several contradictions. This needs to be brought up to date.  Wheelygay (talk) 14:56, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Spoken language 

message: This article has a variety of issues and something needs to be done about it. Hopefully, somebody will contribute to improve the authority of the information, particularly for 
1. Except for area and population in the box section on the top right, this article does not have a single source. That is a major problem.
2. There is no earlier history for the period before the XI century.
3. As already commented by others before me, no source is available to document and confirm the true story behind the 1454 chess game.
4. There is no information about the two castles and when they were built.
5. "They became inspired and set about reviving the biennial reenactment of the life-sized human chess match that had been interrupted due to the wartime events".
What was the year?
6. The first paragraph in the "The Legend" section is redundant with the previous section. The two should be merged.
7. "Marostica is also home to the Diesel Farm, a wine, grappa, and olive oil-producing establishment, founded by Diesel founder Renzo Rosso. Nonetheless, Marostica is also very famous for the production of cherries, used in the preparation of a typical cake, served in all cafes and restaurants in the area."
This should not be part of "The Legend" since it's not a legend.

Talk:Eriocoma hymenoides

message: Should Montina be merged with this article? This is a trademarked O. hymenoides product that is being marketed as a gluten-free grain.  It doesn't appear to be especially notable; the only substantive information I've found on it is on the manufacturer's website. Most Google hits are recipes or mention it as an item in a long list of gluten-free grains.  As there is little information on Montina and the existing article is quite short, it appears that it would be most appropriate to merge Montina with this article.192.104.39.2 (talk) 20:57, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

message: The last sentence about recent news reports needs to be updated.  The grass was not producing cyanide gas, but rather the prussic acid form of the same compound.  Also, the first reference to a CBS news story needs to be corrected to "Hybrid grass" instead of "GM grass."  Tifton 85 is an F1 hybrid with no genetically-modified component.

*KPR Gardeners Club, Slovakia, photos of a number of fescues
2share 17:28, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Pop-up Banner Advertising - Removed Link 

message: I would like to see something added here beyond the dry botanical facts.  Based on my parent's oral histories the introduction of fescue to this area (Georgia piedmont, and I suspect broad areas of the South) in the 1950's allowed the predominant rural population to diversify into cattle farming since fescue would stay green through the winter as opposed to native grasses that turned brown and dormant.  Previously cattle were not raised for trade but only for milk for this reason.  The fact that cattle were not raised for personal slaughter was also because beef could not be preserved without electrically powered freezers - pork could.  After fescue was introduced the old cotton fields and woodlands were converted into cattle pastures.  Now fescue seems to have naturalized in my area, even along the roadsides and lawns.  Native grasses are rather difficult to find.  I am loath to edit the article myself in preference for a scholarly treatment from a specialist in the field, and more is needed than my anecdotal evidence.

Talk:Miscanthus

message: I want to say one thing about the green-gas neutrality claim. It's a false statement.
It's not how much is produced and how much is burnt that makes it neutral. It's the rate of consumption / production.
If we compare burning a gallon of fuel in an hour to producing that much of fuel from it's ingredients ( planting, harvesting, transporting, processing, distilling ).. I bet it wouldn't be that neutral anymore.
If we are talking about it being neutral in the context of a universe, then yes.. it's green-gas neutral ( after these fuel burning processes / humanity cease to exist and nature fixes itself ).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.51.88.60 (talk) 15:21, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An energy crop can become carbon-neutral if it is feedstock for a biofuel which supplies enough energy for cultivating, harvesting, transporting, and processing/refining the crop. Closing the carbon loop in this way will be necessary due to inevitable declines in fossil fuel extraction (see: Peak oil). Any energy crop which can demonstrate an EROEI substantially greater than one can ultimately result in a closed carbon loop, and still provide enough energy gain to make the exercise worthwhile. --Teratornis (talk) 05:00, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Greater Region

message: The term greater region can not be limited to the SaarLorLux region of Saarland Lorraine Luxembourg Wallonia Rhineland Palatinate French community of Belgium German speaking community of Belgium. When official announcements refer to this region, using the term greater region, this is no name of this region but an effort not to have to use the complete name, because it´s to complicated or the well known name SaarLorLux, because the representants of Wallonie and Rhineland Palatinate do not feel represented. 
A citizen of Strassbourg, for example, reding an article "Problems of the greater region" in his local newspaper, would never expect to read an article about the problems of SaarLorLux. He would expect to read an article about the macroregion Oberrhein.
You can discribe the content of the term greater region and discribe SaarLorLux+ as one example of the use of this term.--Thw1309 10:34, 29 June 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Phalaris aquatica

message: I've noticed that most of the plant/tree entries I've seen, provide information in the first paragraph on where the plant/tree originates, and often where else it now grows and/or where it's an invasive species.
This page has that information further down the page under "Geography," and it's great that details are provided, but for consistency, may I suggest moving this information up into the introductory paragraph.
The information I suggest to move: "Phalaris aquatica originated from Southern Europe and the Caucasus. It is naturalized in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand and the USA. Although very recently introduced there, its pasture value was first recognised in Australia. Domesticated cultivation then spread to the United States, Argentina and several other countries in South America, and New Zealand."
