Talk:La Chappelle-aux-Saints 1

message: I noticed that you have added merge tags to a lot of the human evolution fossil pages I have recently created. I understand that these pages are pretty short stubs right now, but I disagree with the merge tags. Eventually I will add pictures and more details about each find. I think if we merged the specimens into the species we might lose a lot of the info. I suppose in a few species represented by 1 or two fossils it wouldn't be too bad to have a section on each fossil, but on species with 5-6 representative fossils, it could get congested very quickly. Also with new fossils being found, we never know how many a species may have in the future. Let me know what you think. Nowimnthing 11:41, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, OK; I checked out the Taung child page. Makes sense now. So, just go on and remove the tags at your discretion. Sorry for the hassle... I was browsing throught the paleo-stubs category and found the pages odd, so I tagged them. Dysmorodrepanis 11:54, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, no problem, I thought a merge discussion might come up at some point, but I do have some valid reasons for wanting seperate pages. If you don't mind I will add this commentary to each of the pages to show that a merge has been discussed. Nowimnthing 16:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Merge tags

message: 1. Some species have numerous fossils finds, since Wikipedia is not made of paper we can have information on each of these very important finds but that information may be cumbersome in a species article if there are numerous specimens.
2. Each find should eventually have at least one picture if not more, allowing people to see the specific features scientists use to classify species. Again this would be cluttering in a species page.
3. A standardized look to the fossil pages giving pertinant info like date discovered and age will give researchers faster access to the info than trying to dig it out of a species page.
4. Some fossils either have not reached a consensus about their species classification or have changed classifications in the past. Having their own page makes it easy to note the controversy and change the classification if necessary. Nowimnthing 16:56, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Zeynep Sultan Mosque

message: Exactly who and why dubbed this mosque 'Baroque style'? To see what Baroque architecture looks like, see the relevant article — this mosque doesn't look Baroque at all. It may bear a resemblance to a Byzantine church because of the dome, but it's not Baroque, even a non-specialist can tell you that. Not every 18th-century building was Baroque, and the Ottoman Empire was not Western or Central Europe to have Baroque per se, although there was some Neo-Baroque  in the 19th century (but that's a different period).

Talk:Buttress root

message: What is missing here is that buttress roots are under tension, not compression forces. If one saws into a buttress root, for example, as is often done by Amazonian caboclos (river dwellers) in order to obtain wood for a canoe paddle, the buttress root opens. The often-cited analogy with a baroque-style cathedral's flying buttress is misleading, and a better analogy would be with the steel cables that attach to a tower and act as guidewires. Why can I not find a citation to this simple fact so that it can be included in the article? --Wloveral (talk) 02:00, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: That's a really interesting point, Wloveral. I had no idea that was the case. I've been around buttress roots quite a bit, but have never noticed the result of cutting one. Very counter-intuitive! I'll check, too, to see if I can locate a citation. Tim Ross (talk) 15:08, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

text: Well, it wasn't too hard to find literature on the subject, although it tends to be pretty highly technical and hard to follow at times. A good one is here. As far as I understand it, you get both tension and compression, in more-or-less equal measure, on opposite sides of a tree, depending upon the stress of the moment. On reflection, this seems perfectly logical to me. Tim Ross (talk) 15:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

message: "Many years later, the DC Comics editorial staff acknowledged that the original ending was poorly executed and in the Battle for Blüdhaven (a spinoff miniseries from the larger Infinite Crisis event), retconned Monarch's origin and depicted Captain Atom's transformation into the villain." This isn't quite true. Captain Atom did get an armor that looked like Monarchs and eventually used the same name in another series (and has recently stopped using both), however this can't be called a retcon since this didn't affect the older stories. Also there should be a source given where the DC editorial called the ending "poorly executed". IchiGhost (talk) 10:52, 2 May 2010 (UTC)

thread_title: Restored to Olympic events only

message: I noticed on the template that the 1972 Olympic appearance is referred to as a demonstration. The term traditionally used when referring to sports and events that are organized by an OCOG, but are not awarded official medals. However, the 1988 appearance is listed as an exhibition. I have never seen that terminology used anywhere related to non-official Olympic sports. Does anyone know of any official sources that can confirm the use of the work exhibition? Otherwise, the template should be changed to show demonstration for both 1972 and 1988.--SargentIV (talk) 20:51, 20 April 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the 1988 Official Report (section 11.26), Four sports, namely table tennis, taekwondo, badminton and bowling, were newly added to the Olympic schedule for the first time in Seoul. Table tennis was an official sport, taekwondo was a demonstration sport, and badminton and bowling were exhibition sports.  ...  Olympic demonstration sports are eligible for the same status of the conduct of competitions as official sports, but the IOC is required to decide on whether competition schedules should be included in the official Games schedule. Exhibition sports are staged in ways much the same as demonstration sports, but their schedules are not added to the official Olympic schedule. For this reason, the adoption of an exhibition sport does not require the approval of the IOC. All the SLOOC was required to do was determine the exhibition sport and to report the decision to the IOC.  — Andrwsc (talk · contribs) 22:10, 20 April 2011 (UTC)

Does anyone have a good cladogram that could be used on this page to help clarify the relationships between the tritylodonts? PageRob (talk) 20:49, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Comment

message: I appreciate an informative cladogram as much as anyone, but I feel the one on this article in its current state is far more detailed than necessary, especially since the majority of the taxa are not even Tritylodontids. The cladogram is reproduced on Cynodont where it more logically belongs since it details with broader groups to which Tritylodontids belong.  As others have noted, the cladogram also contains a error due to its complexity, and I'll repeat my suggestions: possible solutions here include lumping non-focal terminal taxa at the family or subfamily level, starting the cladogram at say, Eucynodontia or Probainognathia, and/or pruning stem taxa in the interest of simplicity. A truly encyclopedic entry would summarize the existing knowledge, rather than go into extensive- albeit faithful- detail of a single study.  I'm in favor of simplifying the essentials whenever possible to convey the information to the broadest audience.--Animalparty-- (talk) 01:37, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Tiberius Claudius Narcissus

message: In this article it is stated that in the Apocolocyntosis Narcissus is the one who is scared by Cerberus, so different from the white dog he—Narcissus—owned when alive. Interestingly, W. H. D. Rouse in his translation, not only in the 1920 edition available at Gutenberg, but also in the revised 1969/1975 edition, makes Claudius the one who is perturbed by Cerberus (look for the phrase 'trifle perturbed'). In the Latin text, no subject is mentioned here: 'Pusillum perturbatur'. The whole sequence of events, the fact that earlier 'a touch of the gout' was mentioned (which applies to Narcissus), and the fact that immediately afterwards 'he' cried 'Claudius is coming!'--as Narcissus had been told to do--all point to Narcissus. It looks like Rouse was mistaken here, and Narcissus really must be the one who is scared of Cerberus, and who owned a white dog when alive. 
Later, I checked a couple of other translations, and they agree that Narcissus was scared by the dog: Wagenvoort (1936) and Russo (5th ed., 1965) simply follow the original here, in not specifying any name, while Robert Graves (in an appendix to Claudius the God) and Waltz (2nd ed., 1961) expressly mention Narcissus.
