Talk:Timnath-heres

message: Common infobox: as long as there are 2 candidates, most parameters make no sense. The problem with 2 infoboxes is that they are far larger than the current text of either of the 2 locations, so they "hang" far below the respective sections (ugly layout). Can they be place NEXT to each other? For now best solution: both at the top. If the sections for both candidates will be expanded, the infoboxes can be moved there, but even then, first consider that having them together helps comparing the 2 locations on the map. Placing them NEXT to each other at the top can also be a solution, but how?

message: Another case he was present at involved the investigation and deep coverage of an opera house in Paris, later to become a ballet house. The basement consisted of a cell that held prisoners in the Paris Commune, which were the rulers of Paris through much of the Franco-Prussian war.
*The first sentence is very odd.  "Deep coverage of an opera house" suggests the building was buried under tons of dirt or something.  Just what is this trying to say?  The second sentence seems only tenuously connected to the first.  Am I missing something?--  JackofOz (talk) 22:54, 15 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe, maybe not :-)   There's not clue on de: or fr: wiki.   My best guess is "in depth coverage".   The Palais Garnier article (how strange that the many Phantom articles dont link to it!) states (w/o source) that Leroux wrote about a fallen chandelier counterweight accident, which might have to do with the first sentence.  The second seems drawn from The Phantom of the Opera's epilogue.  In any case Phantôme deserves its own paragraph.Sparafucil (talk) 02:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Sodium bicarbonate

message: I cannot make sense of this sentence: 
"A manufacturer recommends a paste made from baking soda with minimal water as a gentle scouring powder,[29] and is useful in removing surface rust, as the rust forms a water-soluble compound when in a concentrated alkaline solution;[60] cold water should be used, as hot-water solutions can corrode steel.[61]"
The sentence says that a manufacturer "is useful in removing surface rust", which doesn't make sense. So the grammar is wrong. As I cannot understand the original meaning of the sentence, I cannot correct it. It probably should have referred to the paste instead of the manufacturer, but even that is unclear, because is it again the manufacturer's claim that it is useful for removing rust or is it in fact objectively useful? And is it that paste that is useful for removing rust, or is it sodium bicarbonate in general that is useful? 
The sentence should be cleaned up to state clear facts clearly, but I can't do it as I don't understand what the sentence is meant to express. Jhertel (talk) 10:33, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Problematic sentence - grammar wrong 

message: The section on medical uses contains the following passage: "Sodium bicarbonate has been shown to reduce contrast-induced nephropathy, the most common cause of acute renal failure.[41]"
The referenced article on contrast-induced nephropathy however states that: "Despite extensive speculation, the actual occurrence of contrast-induced nephropathy has not been demonstrated in the literature.[1] Analysis of observational studies has shown that radiocontrast use in CT scanning is not causally related to changes in kidney function.[2]"
Just to make sure, i looked at the referenced source study, which states "The contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of acute renal failure (ARF)..."
Clearly, the article is quoted incorrectly, but more than that the contradictory references suggest that some of these claims may be controversial, or even pseudo-scientific. Could someone more knowledgeable take a look at this and resolve the contradiction?

Talk:Tsui Hark

message: A couple questions I'd like second opinions on:
1) What we do with "Notable works" lists like at the end of this article?  Is it redundant to list stuff already discussed in the body of the article?  Should it be changed to "Other notable works"?
2) Did "Butterfly Murders" really jump start a murder mystery trend or "The Lovers" a period romance trend?  (No argument in the cases of the gangster, wuxia or Wong Fei Hung genres.)
I hope somebody's reading. : )
:2) It's arguable whether either really did start a trend in murder mystery or period romance, but Tsui certainly "resurrected" those genres by giving them a new twist which otherwise seems to lie dead for many a year.  Also, A Chinese Ghost Story certainly did start the period ghost-story-cum-supernatural romance. Mandel 15:37, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
True, true, Mandel.  Still, the way the sentence is written potentially confuses that point.  So I took the liberty of moving around parts of it and adding extensively.  As I did to the entire article, actually.  Now I feel it's of a size and detail worthy of Tsui Hark, although there's always room for improvements, mine or others'.
