Talk:Synod of Kells

message: The article says at the moment "Although sometimes known as the Synod of Kells, the sessions were divided between the abbeys of Kells and Mellifont." This synod is almost invariably known as the Synod of Kells, which is its historic name. I do not know who first invented 'Synod of Kells-Mellifont' or 'Synod of Kells/Mellifont', and there may be no great harm in them as alternative names, but I doubt that the article name here is per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (common names).

Talk:The Blanks

message: The group maintains that all of their tracks feature only their four voices, and they do not use any traditional musical instruments (except for, as their pledge states, "talking toys, hand claps, finger snaps and thigh slaps")
The pledge, as seen [], is: ‘Except for talking toys, hand claps, finger snaps and thigh slaps, there are never more than four Blanks voices at any time -- yea, even on "Six Million Dollar Man."’ I don’t see that this rules out instruments, merely the use of dubbing to achieve extra voices. -Ahruman 22:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: Since the contents of this page when it was a disambiguation were:
* An a cappella musical group named The Blanks.
*The title of an episode in the science fiction television series Max Headroom.
* A punk band from Atlanta, GA.
* A Rock band from NY and the Danbury, CT area

thread_title: No Longer Disambig page

message: In the extended cut of the episode My Way Home on the Season 5 DVD boxset, Ted tells J.D. that the band is no longer known as the Worthless Peons because they're being sued by a Dutch metal band with the same name and that their new name is Foghat. This scene is cut from the aired version of the episode however, so it's likely not canon
This seems to depend on where it's aired - I've seen the Foghat reference broadcast in Ireland - I can't remember what channel it was, but it has been broadcast. Autarch (talk) 17:42, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: My suggestion: Rename this page as "Notable Contestants from The Amazing Race", then have a section for each season.  This solves two problems.  First, you don't have to include any team that lacks any additional information beyond their CBS bio (like most of the first or second eliminated teams).  Second, it cuts down page cruft, though each season can have a link from their season page to this.

thread_title: Extra letter

message: The correct word for Persian stew dishes is "Khoresh" and not "Khoresht". The article claims that Khoresht is the "Tehrani dialect", but this is nonsense. The unetymological -t is added due to the phenomenon known as linguistic hypercorrection and is only seen in WRITTEN language, which is usually the main indication for the aforesaid phenomenon. 
The word KHORESH is derrived from Middle Persian KHWARISHN, whith the -ishn regularly becoming -ish in the transition to Modern Persian. There is no meaningful thing as Khoresht with a -t. 
I corrected the term and explained the -t, but the article should generally be rewritten.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.225.143.100 (talk) 14:33, 19 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, 92.225.143.100, you did not fully explain the -t.  Who is hypercorrecting?  Why are they hypercorrecting?  Seeing as there are an equal number of google hits with and without the -t, something important is going on here.  Maybe it was Turkish, Armenian or Arabic speakers who added the -t.  Maybe it was the British.  Or did someone at one time make a mistake and it has taken hold?  Are you fluent in Persian?  Is there a Persian grammatical rationale for the added -t?  We need a linguist to give a more definite answer.  Any linguists out there?  --@Efrat (talk) 16:35, 19 July 2013 (UTC)

message: In the phrase under Epigenetics that read "but there are certain areas, known as CpG islands, that are GC-rich (made up of about 65% CG residues)" I changed "GC" to "CG" and then reverted this change back to "GC". Under CpG_site#Frequency_in_vertebrates the human genome is described as having "42% GC content", which clearly means a 42% total nucleotide content of guanine plus cytosine, regardless of the order in which these nucleotides occur. To clarify this point, I changed the phrase to "but there are certain areas, known as CpG islands, that are GC-rich (high guanine and cytosine content, made up of about 65% CG residues)". --Ben Best 15:09, 23 May 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Bernard Braden

message: In the Television section it says:
"A successor with essentially the same format, Braden's Week, appeared when he transferred to the BBC from 1967 to 1972. This show may have been cancelled because he advertised margarine on the BBC's commercial rival ITV; the BBC felt this was inconsistent with his role as the consumers' spokesman, . Esther Rantzen, one of the researcher/presenters, went on to front a similar consumer-focused show, That's Life!. In 1974, Braden also hosted a short-lived Canadian edition of The Braden Beat for Canada's fledgling Global Television Network."
In the BBC R4 programme broadcast today, 'The Reunion', about BBC TV's 'That's Life', with Esther Rantzen participating, she said it was not the margarine advert that ended 'Braden's Week' on BBC TV.

thread_title:  Algae 

message: The article stated that a "typical plant cell may have between 103 and 105 plasmodesmata connecting it with adjacent cells[9] equating to between 1 and 10 per mm2".  I changed that to "...1 and 10 per µm2" since plant cells are not large enough to have even one of these junctions if we are talking about square millimeters.
Math:
Assume a cubic plant cell size of 0.1 mm per side.  This gives a total surface area of .06 mm2 for the typical plant cell, not enough area for 1000-100000 plasmodesmata at a rate of 10 per mm2.
I don't have the source books, but I am *guessing* this was just a typo, so I did a calculation to see if µ works, and it does:
radius of plasmodesma (later in same paragraph): 30 nm = 0.03 µm; π*(0.03 µm)2 = 0.0028 µm2 for each junction; 0.0028 µm2 * 105 junctions = 283 µm2.  The surface area of a typical plant cell would be about 60,000 µm2, which would easily accomodate 300 plasmodesmata.
Someone with either of the referenced texts should check on this.
