Talk:Ruddy turnstone

message: Worth adding. Casliber (talk · contribs) 12:51, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

message: The entry on Ruddy Turnstones seems decently complete. According to the WikiProject page for birds, most articles should be in the format of taxonomy, description, distribution, behavior, and culture or human relations. This article is missing taxonomy and relationship to culture or humans. Under the behavior section of the article, an additional category of how they act like producers and scroungers could be added, which would discuss the variable foraging techniques they use and how dominant individuals specialized in routing while the subordinates had to “make the best of a bad job”. Other topics that could be added to behavior are how ESS thinking relates to their choices of techniques as well as the frequency dependent payoff equilibrium. The writing appears well written to me and in a neutral point of view. The references section though does not have footnotes like other Wikipedia articles. Looking at the Talk section it looks like there has been not much discussion on the Ruddy Turnstone.  The Talk section only lists the WikiProjects it is affiliated with as well as it being of low importance to the groups. The Talk page shows it is a start-class article. The history shows that it was last edited in July and consists of small edits ever since its formation in 2007. Zhangt2413 (talk) 19:43, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Needs some work to bring it into line with current systematics.  Needs to include refs (either to the primary literature or to the various taxonomic authorities).  Language also needs to be edited for consistency throughout; shouldn't say "x is now considered a full sp." (or even "x is sometimes considered a full sp") & then go on to refer to x as a "subspecies" -- should use "taxon/taxa" (tho perhaps too technical?) "complex" (rather than "species"), "subdivision", "subtype", etc.
Choices would be to (i) accept the species splits and split into multiple Wikipedia pages or (ii) treat the complex under a single page (as currently), noting which of them are 'sometimes considered full species' or 'under consideration as full species' or somesuch.
None of the authorities seem to include San Benito or Belding's as subtaxa of rostratus, so lumping these 3 together as "Large-billed" may not be legit.

thread_title:  Update 2010-07-08 

message: First, I have read the entire Constitution in English and Espanol, there is nothing in it that says the constitutional court holds the supreme authority/interpretation to the constitution. 
Second, the link attached as a footnote to where it says in this article that the Constitutional Court is supreme interpreter is broken. It leads to a page that doesn't offer any information. 
Third, the true supreme authority to any Constitution should be Logic, not coercion. If you are using coercion in any form in place of compliance through reasoning then your government is automatically embarking on an interest of tyrannical conduct. 
Off-topic ranting, but please don't use the United States for how your government should function. The UK and Canadian interpretation of the United States being founded by crooks and criminals is correct. America seceded from Britain because it wanted indigenous lands and did not believe the British government had any right to enforce its own decrees and laws. The taxation was a ploy by America to raise the cost of services and products even beyond where the tax was levied to insure an uprising would occur. Again, America was founded by Crooks and Criminals, thus entirely illegitimate as a reference for anything.  
I know we want someone to just hold the final stay and force everyone in line, especially when we believe we are correct and the opposition is nothing but a bunch of lawbreakers. However, we need to utilize PBIS to insure their compliance and minimize their negative conduct. Therefore, if the constitution doesn't explicitly say something, then you cannot argue what the Catalonian government is doing as unconstitutional until you can find the explicit article in the constitution they are violating. Just the same as stipulating that the amendment of the statut of Catalonia's Community, when it is merely the same foundation as what is already utilized in the Basque Country. I am sorry, but Spain ended its right to being a sovereign country the moment they showed their lack of competence was even greater than Belgrade's. ~ Prince of Catalonia  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.82.33.109 (talk) 13:54, 5 October 2017 (UTC)

Talk:Shiny cowbird

message: For me, I thought of sewing the cloaca of the brood parastic birds in order passeriforms.
If that occurs, we can sew up the female brood parastic passerine's cloaca to prevent defecation and the egg binding occurs.
I'm not thinking that to cuckoo finches and indingo birds yet, but to remove shiny cowbird and save the songbird hosts.
If the female shiny cowbird's cloaca is blocked, (as well as other brood parastic passerine females) she cannot lay eggs or defecation.
And that cowbird will engage carnivalism to kill and/or eat juvenile cowbirds and her own eggs as well.
But some people think that's cruelty to animals. I am borrowed idea to remove nutria as sew up the cloaca.
Then if that occurs, and it's using to the shiny cowbirds and other brood parastic passerines, then we can protect the hosts.

message: Are you sure about reacting SrCO3 with Nitric Acid?  Because last time I checked Nitric Acid was a bi-product of a method to make Strontium Carbonate.

No, the reaction with nitric acid makes sense. Carbonates are weak bases and react with acids. The   reaction would yield strontium nitrate and release CO2. For cathode ray tubes they use sodium carbonate which yields sodium nitrate and strontium carbonate. I'm not sure about the reaction involving carbonic acid since the reaction looks reversible.
