Talk:Technological evolution

message: Agriculture is probably the biggest single step in the evolution of civilization, but it's not applicable to Richta's theory.  The theory deals with the fundamental type of technology, not particular technologies or tools. As such, all possible technologies can be classified within the three basic types.  --GreedyCapitalist 17:04, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Patents in the information age 

message: Should the article only cover the early work, or should it become more general, covering the information age, and perhaps even, the development of other "stages" after automation?  For instance, we can today begin to modify nature through genetic engineering, and develop impressive artificial intelligence, both of which are major steps forward after basic automation.  We are also discovering our origins in unprecedented ways.  Thanks, PaleoNeonate (talk) 13:23, 29 March 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: People Mentioned

message: This article gives a long detailed account of a musical life without any reference to career success, either commercial or in chart terms. Forward plans from way back have subsequently been neither confirmed nor deleted – examples: “currently no news” in 2006; “he may play” in 2007; “the band would play” in 2009 – so it makes sense to take much of this self-serving marketing exercise with a pinch of salt.

Talk:Public switched data network

message: There appears to be some confusion or contradiction between the sources about whether the acronym is Public Switched Data Network or Packet Switched Data network.
To give two examples
Telecommunication Switching Systems and Networks By V.S.Bagad 
uses "public" 
Focal Illustrated Dictionary of Telecommunications By Xerxes Mazda, Fraidoon Mazda
and Network Management: Concepts and Tools
use "packet"
Meanwhile Data and Computer Communications: Networking and Internetworking By Gurdeep S. Hura, Mukesh Singhal uses the phrase "public packet switched data network!"
I get the impression, but struggle to find evidence, that at some point in the past A PARTICULAR packet switched data network became "THE" public one, and gained some capital letters as a definite noun.  This seems to have led to the prior Talk discussion about capitalisation too.
Thoughts?  I'll go ahead and comment on the discrepancy in the article because it's confusing as it stands - changing from one to the other halfway through the article.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leiafee (talk • contribs) 14:24, 25 November 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: References

message: Hopped over from the Seaweed article, which seems a little queasy about calling seaweeds "plants".
:Seaweeds are often confused with other photosynthetic organisms. Seaweeds are popularly described as plants, but biologists typically do not consider them true Plantae. They should not be confused either with plants, such as seagrasses (which are vascular plants). In addition, a few species of cyanobacteria bear a resemblance to seaweed algae. Many phycologists prefer the term "marine macroalgae" over "seaweeds". -Seaweed#Taxonomy
Should this article still refer to individual specimens of Sargassum as 'plants' (under #Description)? However, the quoted paragraph does sport 3 'citations needed'.

Talk:List of United States senators from Tennessee

message: These tables seem to be incorrect on their face; there are instances where they seem to indicate that both Senators are serving in one seat simultaneously and no one serivng in the other.  This situation is so muddled that that may almost be said to be the case.  In Tennessee's early years when its Senators (like those of the other states) were elected by the state legislature.  There were multiple resignations, with sometimes resigned Senators then returning and then resigning again (Andrew Jackson and George W. Campbell being examples), Senators serving part of a term from one seat and then being named to the other one, seats being left vacant for protracted periods due to a recess in the legislature, and other discrepancies.  Even with the use of the official Biographical Directory of the United States Congress, it is well-nigh impossible to determine which Senator was in which seat at which point (at least for this observer), that is, which Senator is serving in the seat first occupied by William Cocke (called "Class I" in the tables), and which one is serving in the seat first occupied by William Blount (called "Class II" in the tables).  One of the major complications is apparently that Cocke was the first to occupy both seats.  
On October 10, 1815, two "new" Tennessee Senators were sworn in, one being the returning George W. Campbell, the other John Williams.  Williams served a total of almost eight years, possibly switching from one seat to the other when Campbell resigned again.  So the situation is quite muddled, perhaps irrepairably so, perhaps correctable by a long visit to the Tennessee State Archives that I do not anticipate making in the foreseeable future.

thread_title:  The Muddled Early History of Senatorial Class in Tennessee 

message: According to the official Tennessee Blue Book (1989-1990 edition) there were no U.S. Senators from Tennessee from 1841 to 1843.  Apparently the reason for this was that the above-named thirteen refused to meet with the rest of the General Assembly, thusly denying a quorum to elect a Senator.  Presumably they did this as loyal Democrats, preferring the state to have no representation in the Senate to the possibilty of it having Whig senators.  This could account for some of the confusion in the table as well, although it shows one Senator during this period.  Rlquall 04:25, 1 Dec 2004 (UTC)
