Talk:Arbuthnot (schooner)

message: It is speculated that this ship was named after Admiral Mariot Arbuthnot who bought his rank in the Navy.  Possibly by providing this ship - against which he would have expected to be rewarded with a share of the plunder captured. There seems to be no way of corroborating this speculation. An expert on the period might be able to say whether it sounds likely. - Kittybrewster 16:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :  On 31 December 2004, he appeared on a Radio 4 Hamish and Dougal Hogmanay special. He played Mrs. Naughtie's son.
Does that mean that the character he had portrayed would be himself??  Does that need one, or two, additional sentences??

message: If this article is about a town, the name should be Sussex Inlet, Jervis Bay Territory. If it's about a geographic feature (an inlet in this case), it should be Sussex Inlet (Jervis Bay Territory).

thread_title:  article name conventions 

message: This article claims that Sussex Inlet is one of two councils in Jervis Bay Territory. Local Government Area says

Which is correct? Please cite a source for whichever article is changed. --Scott Davis Talk 09:16, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: DOTARS  is quite clear that the Jervis Bay Administration is responsible for providing state and local government services. If there is indeed a "Sussex Inlet community council" or something like that, there should be a reference for it (DOTARS only mentions a Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community Council). All maps I have seen are quite clear that the main Sussex Inlet town is in New South Wales (it is also listed by the GNB of NSW, etc.), and DOTARS  suggests that the 2001 population of the settlement within JBT at Sussex Inlet was 18!

Talk:John Gross

message: Published online on the 10th, the heading of the Telegraph obituary includes the phrase "who died yesterday", implying John Gross died on the 9th, but is clearly copy for today's print edition. The Commentary blog entry demonstrates this is the case. Dated the 10th, it says Gross "died earlier today". As the blogs of conventional publications can be used as sources this is more than enough to verify the precise date until another print obituary renders the date unambiguously.

replies: text: It's not Clarke, it's BBC producer David M. Thompson who produced at least one of Clarke's films, according to my copy of Richard Kelly's book on Clarke.  The pictures you give links to are indeed of the real man.  Please rectify, somebody, before I do it myself.  In fact, Clarke deserves a way bigger article - any takers?  I'll do it, although there's only one readily available book on his life.  Lexo 1:28, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite agree - the current article doesn't do the man real justice, and covers only a fraction of his work. My own biography at  gives a few pointers, although it is ten years old and was constrained by a word-count limit for the book it was for, and so wasn't as comprehensive as it could have been even at the time.

thread_title: Discovered by who?

message: Clearly, the in vivo immunologic phenotype of MyD88-/-differs significantly between humans and mice - that's the point of the Science paper (von Bernuth et al) cited on the page.  That's why I reverted the 1 Nov 2008 edits by 155.247.230.135.  In vitro assays for the response of a subset of cells to a particular ligand represent an in vitro phenotype, and indeed that has been found to be similar between mice and humans.  So, MyD88 plays a very similar role in relevant pathway(s), but the animal's phenotype depends on more than this sort of assay.  --Scray (talk) 20:40, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Phenotype differs in humans and mice 

message: Normal usage has "y" in lower case (MyD88).  Should we move the article over the redirect, and have the less common form as a redirect to MyD88?  Dbfirs 22:19, 29 September 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: For my tuppence worth: When doing a lot of data entry onto a data base for hours and hours (and I speak from personal experience) it is convenient to not have to  shift to get the capital M un-shift to get the lower case y up-shift yet again to get the capital D and down shift to get the 88. However, WP articles names should reflect the proper formate – which is MyD88.  So I think that  a  re-name and then redirect MYD88 to MyD88 will serve its purpose and catch any enquirer and lead them to the article with the right  formatted name.  Also, if anybody knows how to properly pronounce it -please do tell. My-dee-eighty-eight sounds right to my ears because it throws up a mental  picture of the letters and numbers MyD88 in my minds eye.--Aspro (talk) 23:08, 29 September 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Place of death? 

message: I've just corrected his birth date from 15th March 1923 to 26th March the same year - this is according to obituaries in The Guardian and The Telegraph (both cited within the article) and his entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography (also now cited). As I recall, when founding the article in 2005, I used the 26th March as it was the date Wheeler himself (then still living) had used for his entry in Who's Who. It looks the other date is from one particular BBC obit which we must assume to be a mistake. Crisso (talk) 07:14, 3 April 2021 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Warren Kinsella/Evidence

message: I don't know if such a thing is possible.  But everyone seems to be concerned with the identities of users and whether or not they are the subjects of these articles (Kinsella, Bourque and Bourrie).  I've noticed that Bourrie is actually on vacation in BC at this time, according to his blog.  I was thinking that, if she (as she identifies) was interested, Arthur might want to do some sort of IP check to just show her doubters that he's not Bourrie (that is using Arthur's old Ontario IP rather than one from BC) once and for all and just put those accusations to bed finally so all those preoccupied with their doubts can finally move on and address the real problems.
Obviously there are consent and policy questions about that which I don't know the answer to.  And I certainly wouldn't suggest that Arthur should consent to something if she didn't want to.  But it was just a thought.  Because, as I'd said, nobody seems to be able to move past the identity questions and move on to the real troubling part which is the editing behaviours.  Thanks.  --JGGardiner 02:14, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I expect the arbitration committee will get past the identity issue real fast since they see a lot of cases.  If the parties don't present evidence focused on bad begavior (regardless of real life identity), they may find "their side" as it is, at a disadvantage.  What is lacking at this point is a serious examination of the misdeeds of Ellis and the IP addresses supporting his POV on Kinsella; and an examination of the editors and IPs supporting Kinsella.

Talk:Basal shoot

message: What causes suckers to grow? If they stunt growth on the plant, what purpose do they serve the plant? --authraw 02:17, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, this is based on my own observations, and therefore can't be included in the article per WP:OR, but it appears the suckers sap energy from the original, older parts of the plant by developing a great deal of new growth. Horticulturists are often much more interested in maintaining the original growth, particularly in trees. Notice also that stumps and other plants which have lost their apical meristems are most prone to suckering. The purpose seems to be for a plant to renew itself, often but not always in response to trauma. --Ginkgo100 talk · contribs · e@ 20:26, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "Sucker" is a bold alt-title for this page (and sucker (botany) is a redirect here).  But later we have "They are colloquially yet incorrectly denominated "suckers", which word colloquially denominates basal shoots and root sprouts."  This seems like another case of an article picking a fight with itself.  Why is this usage "incorrect", and if so, shouldn't this be integrated better?
