Talk:Daman and Diu

message: :Goa, Daman, and Diu were liberated by the Republic of India on December 19, 1961
Is this NPOV? One might as well say that they were "invaded" by the Republic of India on December 19, 1961... FilipeS 20:29, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: All of which is irrelevant.  The fact is that "liberated" is a value judgment, and as such has no place in Wikipedia.  Wikipedia presents the facts, it does not offer an opinion on whether something is right or not.  While it is not always easy to do so, we need to ensure that we use neutral language wherever possible.  For that reason, both "liberated" and "invasion" are unacceptable.

Talk:Rayonnoceras

message: This paragraph about actinocerid evolution seems out of place:
:"Originating in the Ordovician, by the Devonian period Actinocerids became rare; perhaps they were unable to compete with the more compact and maneuverable coiled nautiloids and ammonoids and cope with the arrival of jawed fish. Rayonnoceras was among the last of the actinocerids, which finally died out in the Carboniferous."
These details had more relevance when Rayonnoceras and other carbactinoceratids were classified as actinocerids.  My inclination is to move the paragraph to the Actinocerida article, but of carbactinoceratids are pseudorthocerids, then even this may only be a footnote of historical interest.  Any thoughts?
Cephal-odd (talk) 05:35, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  paragraph about Actinocerid history 

message: Rayonnoceras, especiall; larger adults, were most likely bottom dwellers, ambush preditors and were not swimmers in any sense like squid or fish.  The large, heavy, rigid shell would have been too much of an impediment for such a habit.  There is no reason to equate them with squid, other than they perhaps had 10 arms or tentacles. Since they are not part of the direct line that lead to belemnites and coleoids (along with ammonites) there is no reason to conclude they died with in a 3 or 4 year lifetime after mating and laying eggs for the first time.  They are phylogenetically probably just as close and possibly closer to Nautilus than they are to squid and octopods. Nautilus lay broods of eggs annually once reaching sexual maturity after several years and live anywhere from 15 to 20 years. 
There is no reason to assume Rayonnoceras did not do the same.

And then Convention for the Extension of Hong Kong Territory, area south of Shenzhen River and north of Boundary Street are defined as the New Territories. But it is odd that New Territories are divided by watershed so the term New Kowloon is created, which now only appears in land lease contract (all HK land are crown land).

Talk:Inorganic nomenclature

message: I noticed an error- a claim that the Stock system (with Roman numerals) can be used for nonmetal compounds.  This is in direct contradiction of the IUPAC system (the Wikipedia standard, see the Manual of Style]; Rule 2.252 states, "The Stock notation can be applied to both cations and anions, but preferably should not be applied to compounds between nonmetals."  I have deleted this, and replaced it with a link to systematic name, this covers such names in detail.  When I get time I will add that material over here too.  
For more detail see http://www2.potsdam.edu/walkerma/inorg_naming.pdf
Walkerma 20:26, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: The key phrase is: preferably should not be applied... I agree, however, the Stock System can be used for non-metal compounds to demonstrate the consistency of the system. The problem is that the Stock system is basically used for empirical formulas, which are the rule for ionic compounds, but not for molecular compounds. So, the usage was not in error, just needed qualification due to the molecular formula ambiguity (NO2 vs N2O4). That said, I won't put it back into the article (now). -Vsmith 02:31, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I take the point that IUPAC does not expressly forbid such usage- maybe if we end up with a really detailed article on this we can mention it. My concern was that the approved format was not listed, and readers might think that the Stock system is the usual system for nonmetal compounds.  Also- these rules were written in 1960, when perhaps some people were using this system.  However if it was used it has now become obsolete (at least in the UK and the US, which I am familiar with)- so I think the "preferably should not" has become a de facto "should not" over the years.  I am getting a 1999 book from IUPAC on inorganic nomenclature by interlibrary loan, so that should clarify it.
By the way- would you like to join us on Wikipedia:WikiProject_Chemicals?
