Talk:SBC Communications

message: Has Ma Bell been reunited after 20 years?  In 1983, anti-trust action required the breakup of AT&T (Ma Bell)into regional entities.  Now it seems that almost everything that was Ma Bell, except BellSouth, is together again under the SBC umbrella.  Only this time SBC has added mobile phone (Cingular, AT&T Wireless)and internet service.  I know that BellSouth also offers its customers satellite TV bundled services.  I am sure SBC does the same.  How soon before we reach the level of a resurrected Ma Bell monopoly?
Don't mention the name "Bell" in front of an SBC executive. It seems as though SBC, ever since dropping the names of the Baby Bells they own, has done all they can to sweep any "Bell" mention under the rug.
There are way too many logos at the top of the page.  03:09, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

message: So, some of our editors have been reverting each other over whether there should be a SBC article after the company took over AT&T and its name.  I lean to the side of letting history live in the backwaters of Wikipedia, but can't this particular bit of history live just as well by adding a section to the Southwestern Bell article?  Jim.henderson 22:52, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No, there should not be an SBC history article attached to the Southwestern Bell page, which describes the Bell Operating Company. The lines of distinction would then be blurred between the RBOCs and the Bell Operating Companies. Under this logic, why not add a history section of Pacific Telesis to Pacific Bell? SBC's history from its founding in 1983 to present is covered in the AT&T article, because today's AT&T is technically SBC Communications renamed. That is why it would be inappropriate to have the SBC article redirect to Southwestern Bell. KansasCity 14:53, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Edmund Mortimer, 3rd Earl of March

message: I'm no expert on this kind of thing, but I there there is some inconsistency.  On the Earl of Ulster Page, the Earldom is listed as passing from Lionel of Antwerp to Roger Mortimer and then to Edmund, but on this page, the Earldom was listed as "New Creation."  If no-one happens to know, I'll just look it up and fix it (eventually).

Talk:Xmal Deutschland

message: loved this band for years, never knew how to say "x-mal" so i've never really talked about it with anyone.
:The "x" is pronounced in the same way as the last syllable in "polit-ics", and "-mal" (meaning "-fold" or "times") as in "mal-ediction". -- marilyn.hanson 12:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  how to pronounce 

message: Hi,
does anyone know why the group was named like that? Literally, it means "X times Germany" or "Germany x-fold". There is a slogan of the radical left in Germany, "Nie wieder Deutschland" - "Germany never again". I don't know whether the band name is paraphrasing or ironizing this slogan, maybe. Although the slogan became popular throughout the left around 1990, with the unification of Germany and the accompanying nationalistic hype; so I don't know whether it existed in 1980, when Xmal Deutschland began ... -- marilyn.hanson 12:08, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: A the time the band were formed - 1980 - the Cold War was in full swing and Germany was divided into East and West, and AFAIK the band's name simply means 'many Germanies', i.e, that there was more than one type of German, and more than one type of Germany.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.148.220.15 (talk) 18:29, 9 January 2015 (UTC)

Talk:List of Spanish-language authors

thread_title:  problem in the interwiki 

message: The concept of a list of Spanish language authors is rather laughable. Is there a corresponding List of English language authors? No, and for a very simple reason: the list would go on and on and on and on and on and on and on... 
The reason that there is no list of English language authors is because there are hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of English language authors. And in much the same way, there are also hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of Spanish language authors.
What is the inclusion criteria for an author to be listed here? Do they have to be dead? Culturally significant? From a non-spanish-speaking country? Generally speaking, the majority of authors from Spain will write in Spanish, as will the majority of authors from Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and so on.
In order for this list to be feasible, it needs some concrete criteria. Any thoughts? --Mûĸĸâĸûĸâĸû 22:04, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

:The main picture on this article is hideous, not to mention misleading. I think it needs a standard picture in addition to what is there already.

What change with this disease in the Phospholipid synthesis, in signal transduction ?
"Sources" :  restrict the consumption of products with a high phospholipid content can have benefits ?
 "Sterols contribute to membrane fluidity by hindering the packing together of phospholipids."  So, consuming sterols can decrease blood hypercoagulable and lipids heap ?
For people with APLS, is there a phospholipid to favor ?

message: "The university received media attention for the invention of genetic fingerprinting, and for contributing to the discovery and identification of the remains of King Richard III." This seems to largely miss the point. 'Media attention' is secondary to the scientific and cultural value, respectively, of both discoveries. Similarly, the University was near-wholly responsible for the discovery and identification of Richard III. Though the contributions of individual partners played an important part, 'contributing' is a clear understatement. This should be rewritten.

message: I have been through this text trying to clarify and tighten it. I ran out of steam half way through.
The trouble with this article is that it's a Wikipedia-weaselworded version of actual events. (e.g. the bit on VfD, which is really about Anthony getting a clip round the ear from the AC and being told not to be a dickhead).
The other problem, below that, stringing together real incidents in an overgeneralising fashion.
The other other problem is that a series of rules is intrinsically inadequate to deal with people whose joy is wrecking the place through finding new ones to break.
The other other other problem is really that this text is nowhere near maturity, nor a pressing enough problem to form a rule over. Compare the recent bleat discussions of "hate speech" on wikien-l.
