thread_title:  Connection to EDS? 

message: Hello to all! I am proposing a merge from the following articles into this article:
* Acanthosis nigricans associated with obesity, insulin-resistant states, and endocrinopathy
* Acral acanthosis nigricans
* Acanthosis nigricans associated with malignancy
* Familial acanthosis nigricans
This is for the following reasons:
* The main article would benefit significantly from having all this information in one place.
* These articles are very short in length (1-2 sentences) and have not been edited significantly in 3-4 years.
* This knowledge shouldn't be obscured from readers of this article by virtue of being isolated in an obscure article of 1-2 lines.
* These topics may receive more attention by being mentioned in the main article.
* The articles, if needs be, could be re-expanded at a later date.

message: "The high insulin concentrations probably activate growth factor receptors (perhaps the IGF1 receptor) that drive the proliferation of keratinocytes and melanocytes."  According to <I>Weedon's Dermatopathology</I>, the darkening appearance is largely due to acanthosis, rather than hyperpigmentation.

It's probably worth including that his father had been the first holder of the office, but other than that, a history of its establishment as a permanent office or of its evolution into a political prize really isn't relevant to a biography of one of its occupants.

It is particularly good at dual sport motorcycling, which is what the bike is made for. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.250.186.17 (talk • contribs) 
:Hi. I created this article, using the KLR650 article as a template.  The intro isn't terribly encyclopedic, but that's how it read in the KLR article and, without splitting hairs, those two bikes are categorized and reviewed very similarly. So that's our starting point — jump in and change things!  Perhaps the KLR article needs attention, too. --Ds13 00:45, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: "Fox was born at 9 Conduit Street,[2] London, the second surviving son of Henry Fox, 1st Baron Holland – a disciple of Robert Walpole and rival of Pitt the Elder, who had amassed a considerable fortune by exploiting his position as Paymaster General of the forces – and Lady Caroline Lennox – a daughter of Charles Lennox, 2nd Duke of Richmond and a direct descendant of Charles II." This crime against grammar causes some confusion, so in order to fix it I may exclude some of the information it seeks to convey. 98.206.155.53 (talk) 05:16, 24 March 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: In a similar vein, this sentence from the lede: His father was a leading Whig and Fox rose to prominence in the House of Commons as a forceful and eloquent speaker with a notorious and colourful private life, though his opinions were rather conservative and conventional.  I'm going to break it into two, then flesh one of them out by a quick mention of Henry Fox's rivalry with Pitt the Elder.  After all, it seems odd to finish a sentence by bringing up CJF's rivalry with Pitt the Younger, and then start off the next sentence talking about Henry Fox, without mentioning the rivalry between Fox pere and Pitt the Elder; the parallelism was remarked on by contemporaries and historians.

Talk:Freestyle fighting

message: this article sounds like it was made up by one person based on nothing.
"hence there are no athletes who claim to be simply a "mixed martial artist" when competing."
this is certainly not true.
This article still doesn't have any proper sources. The first link is ultimately an advertising page for a single club which doesn't help explain the topic nor support the article. The second link appears to be using the term "freestyle fighting" differently than this article. Freestyle is being used simply as a general adjective meaning relatively free of restriction , rather than the specific use here as "a synthesis of various styles of martial arts". This would be akin to describing young kids grappling together as freestyle wrestling, yet this is not THE freestyle wrestling as practiced in the Olympics. Essentially this article is still unreferenced for quite a while now.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Meok (talk • contribs) 10:41, 27 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Still, after several more years have passed, not a single reference adorns the page. So I'm going to merge with mixed- hybrid martial arts.

thread_title:  Extraneous info 

message: As of 20240124 the section on "Ownership of slaves" reads:
"With the Slave Compensation Act 1837 in the aftermath of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, the government paid compensation for slavery not to enslaved people but to slaveholders. Lord Holland was compensated under three awards for slaves on his estates in Jamaica, which had come to him through his wife, Elizabeth Webster (née Vassall)."
The form "compensation for slavery" clearly makes no sense either now or in the context of the time as people then understood it. No one then claimed that these payments were any kind of "compensation for slavery" as in compensation for the institution having existed or compensation to its sufferers. They were paying former owners for confiscation of former property. That Holland was one of those slave owners and is being noted here for modern readers as having been such is, presumably, the whole point.  I appreciate that a previous writer must have been aiming for easy irony as a form of editorial comment, but it is neither appropriate here nor did it actually work in the sentence structure that was provided. I have made the minimal possible edit to this effect:
"With the Slave Compensation Act 1837 in the aftermath of the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, the government paid compensation to former slaveholders. Lord Holland was compensated under three awards for slaves on his estates in Jamaica, which had come to him through his wife, Elizabeth Webster (née Vassall)."

Talk:James Fitzjames Stephen

message: I attempted to approximately demarcate the appropriate sections for the article, and added information about his personal life (I used the 'citation needed' template because I wasn't sure the references I found were the best ones, they can be found here and here). Far be it for me to criticize the Encyclopedia Britannica, but the article suffers from clunky, obscure, obtuse, and sometimes even POV wording that should be made more concise. Eliz81 16:59, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I had a look at the online public-domain 1911 edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica (Vol 25, p.883), linked above by Eliz81,  and this is what it says: "Notwithstanding exceptional vigour in mind and body, he did not attain any of the usual scholastic or athletic distinctions.  The only studies then seriously prosecuted in the university course were mathematics and classics. Neither of these attracted him in their academical forms, nor did he care for competitive sport." I wouldn't want pompous prose like that in the article, but it's somewhat different from Eliz81 (or whoever)'s paraphrase.  I don't think that mathematics and classics "formed the basis of the course" (it would be a rather bizarre course, it seems to me).  How about substituting something like "His intellect was highly regarded, but he was not interested in either mathematics or classics, the only subjects that were taken seriously at the time", which might give a better result. --GuillaumeTell 16:27, 4 September 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: To modern ears a university course concentrating on the classics and mathematics may sound bizarre, but that was probably the case at Cambridge in his time. Cambridge has been noted for mathematics for centuries. I don't know if details of the BA course in his time are readily available, but for comparison there are detailed syllabuses of the course at Trinity College Dublin at about the same time in two histories which are available online. They make it clear that the main compulsory subjects were the Latin and Greek classics, together with theology (concentrating on the Greek bible) and also a different science subject in each of the four years. Just what a schoolmaster or aspiring clergyman would have needed, in the days before modern languages (or even English) were taught. The balance at Cambridge may have been different. NRPanikker (talk) 18:26, 17 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: To give a bit more of context, until the second part of the 19th century the only two Tripos in existence were Mathematics and Classics (one could read Law, but it was not a Tripos and was considered an easy way for stupid gentlemen to obtain the requisite degree for ordination in the Church of England). Accordingly almost all the prizes and fellowships at that time were in either Maths or Classics, and someone without interest in either would not do very well. A generation later F. W. Maitland encountered the same problem, although a Moral Philosophy tripos had been introduced in the meantime. Atchom (talk) 22:54, 19 July 2019 (UTC)

The 2001 census also has a population of 21,797 for the Rawtenstall urban area. The Haslingden article uses the unparished area (16,849) and not the urban area (14,873), and the Bacup and Edenfield articles use the urban area figures, so the situation is currently not consistent.
