And, actually nordic skiing is the place those statistics belong, because that's what they are. Ski jumping and cross country skiing are different disciplines of nordic skiing. 85.76.79.120 (talk) 08:42, 7 November 2016 (UTC)

message: Of all the ridiculously unsourced claims made in this article, I just happened to home in on one. The South has historically the "highest rates of anti-Semitism"? However the hell that's supposed to be measured, I highly doubt it's true by any stretch. There's sure been some ugliness (Leo Frank), but then again from the prominence of Jews in the CSA gov't to the present philo-Semitism dominant in evangelical circles (no, it's not ideal to most Jews, but it certainly has made a lot of overt ugliness rather taboo) I doubt this is very straightforward. I'd suspect the Midwest if anything...but then, my speculation is neither here nor there. At least I'm not putting my neither here-nor-there speculations in an article, all vague and unsourced. I'm no Southerner, but it seems the fact that it's directed against the people of a region makes it a speedy delete candidate. And delete I shall!

Talk:KSLE

message: Per the WP:Disambig page, "If only a primary topic and one other topic require disambiguation, then disambiguation links are sufficient, and a disambiguation page is unnecessary." Since the radio station call letters are the primary identification and the ICAO code reference to an airport is a secondary identification, a hat note is sufficient and requires no more steps than would a disambiguation page for people seeking the airport. It's not about which subject is more famous, just that the radio station is primarily identified by this name while the airport is primarily identified by its full name with the ICAO code only a secondary reference to that airport. - Dravecky (talk) 09:44, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Marine worm

message: Not only does 
:  These worms are also called polychaetes,which means "many bristles". Have segments with bristles; they occur in bundles. 
lack a valid antecedent for "these", it also hints, as does
: The tube worm  looks like giant blood vessels, and veins.
at the intent that the title eventually be changed to All the crap i can find about any marine worm.  With some refs, tho, it might be good to list the phyla (or even lower taxa) that include only marine worms. I think the polychaetes (an annelid class) are an example. The "blood vessels" bit is not total nonsense (altho (blood) veins are a subset of blood vessels -- and bluish BTW rather than red like the up end of giant tube worms), but find a ref and and produce from it a paraphrase that uses encyclopedic language.--Jerzy•t 05:15, 2 December 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Soil erosion

message: I removed some material that was a copy and paste without attribution of material written by the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture (see, for example this page), and is therefore a copyright violation. RockMagnetist(talk) 23:06, 5 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Soil erosion is the denudation or wearing away of the upper layer of soil. It is a form of soil degradation. This natural process is caused by the dynamic activity of erosive agents, that is, water, ice (glaciers), snow, air (wind), plants, and animals (including humans). In accordance with these agents, erosion is sometimes divided into water erosion, glacial erosion, snow erosion, wind (aeolian) erosion, zoogenic erosion and anthropogenic erosion such as tillage erosion.[1] Soil erosion may be a slow process that continues relatively unnoticed, or it may occur at an alarming rate causing a serious loss of topsoil. The loss of soil from farmland may be reflected in reduced crop production potential, lower surface water quality and damaged drainage networks. Soil erosion could also cause sinkholes.￼ 109.63.56.218 (talk) 05:40, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Talk:List of gaited horse breeds

message: Appearance�The most striking feature of the Bashkir Curly is its winter coat which can range from a wavy pattern to tight ringlets over the entire body. The mane is very fine, but also very curly. During the summer the body coat sheds out and the summer coat is often straight, or with just a slight wave. One very unusual feature is that the Bashkir Curly also sheds out its mane and tail, regrowing it again the following winter.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.135.21.195 (talk) 10:40, 10 August 2016 (UTC)

:I can get an image from the Minnesota Historical Society. What is the procedure, if this is desired?Dale662 (talk) 14:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Pictures make articles come alive - I think an image would be awesome. Two possible criteria would make the image public domain:
#If it were published before 1923 (in a periodical, postcard, book, etc.)
#If the photographer or artist has been dead 100 years.
Since the man died in 1880, certainly #2 is true (unless someone painted him posthumously). Assuming that's true, scan, take a digital photo, or download from a website the image onto your computer.  Then insert this text at the top of the article:  Then click show preview. Then click the red "Image:Bonga.jpg" and fill in the blanks (especially the Licensing section - click on Author died 100 yrs ago). After clicking "upload", use your browser "back" button to get to the preview screen and click "Show preview" again. A thumbnail of the image should appear at the top right.

message: FYI: I took copied a photo out of a book and put it in the article (this particular photo can be found in multiple books). The rationale is that the photo was originally published in Bonga's lifetime so it has easily passed the copyright limit. I don't, though, have any info on the original photographer or where and precisely when it was published. Ideally it would be nice to get that info just to make the justification for fair use clearer (I don't think anybody would seriously argue but still ...). If anybody has these details please feel free to update the photo page.

Talk:Royal warrant of precedence

message: Shouldn't Lady Katherine Brandram be on there somewhere? 195.92.40.49 (talk) 19:37, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, if a Warrant was granted for her. I can't seem to find a notice for her in the Gazette, so if you manage to come across one, then feel free to add it. Craigy (talk) 19:12, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

message: In addition to Lady Katherine Brandram, special precedence was conferred upon relatives of Britiah and Continental monarchs domiciled in the UK and married to British subjects. Some of these grants or recognitions coincided with the 1917 name and title changes commanded by George V near the end of World War I, which transformed the British Royal Family from German princes of Saxony to the House of Windsor, along with the House of Teck/Cambridge and the House of Battenberg/Mountbatten. Although only some of these semi-royals received express warrants, their individual changes or clarification in status were officially noticed in the Court Circular. I'd reco that a section in the article be created for them -- they fit nowhere else, really, and the relevance is that some member of each of their families was the beneficiary of a declaration of precedence (and title), e.g. the wife of Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar, and the morganatic Counts Gleichen, and Counts de Torby.

thread_title:  Non-Peerage related 

message: 1) How does one "get" a warrant of precedence? Is it issued automatically whenever an heir presumptive of a relevant title who has family dies? Or does one have to "apply" for it? Where? Is such a request always granted or are there certain criteria?
2) In what situation are such warrants issued for wives of knights? It's not an hereditary title so their husbands can't die "in the waiting list" for the title .... Is it for the case of remarriage or when is such a warrant needed?

Talk:Gunvor Hofmo

message: The translation of the titles of Gunvor Hofmo's works are not good. There is loss of poetic aspects, the feel of the words and the meaning of the titles in the translation. A few of the translations are outright wrong. For an instance the title "Hva fanger natten". 
It is challenging to understand what this sentence means even in Norwegian, however it does not mean what the translations says: "What the night captures". The norwegian title could mean something like "What binds the night" or "What captures the night" or "What catches the night". The verb "fanger" could be about something "binding/imprisoning" or "capture as in representing, disclosing, expressing something  or capture as in attract/captivate. The norwegian sentence "Hva fanger natten" does not tell us which option is "right". Below is an improvised interpretation and translation of a poem of Hofmo that includes the title "Hva fanger natten".
Hva fanger natten
som et åpent vindu?
Som en svale
flyr under mønet
flyr nattens dyp
inn
og legger sine egg
i sjelens
Stillhet.
What captures the night
like an open window?
Like a winged swallow
below the ridge
The depth of night fly in
and lay its eggs
in the souls
silence.   (or in the silence of the soul) 
In this poem “fanger” means “capture” or “catch” as in “attract/ captivate” - the attention of the night. And it also means that the open window captures the night as in the image/experience of the open window discloses the night. 
In conclusion, someone with a greater expertise in Hofmo's work, poetry and expertise in english is needed to make more nuanced translations of the titles in this wiki article. 81.191.191.122 (talk) 02:17, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
