Locusta

Some more eyes are needed on this article. Some wild claims of rape by "specially trained giraffe" are referenced and have been verified as being in the reference given but remain dubious. Some assistance in additional references to support this claim or other thoughts on what should be done here would be appreciated.--RadioFan (talk) 14:44, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Help removing a "lacks inline citations" disclaimer, after improving inline citations

Hi,

I'm editing a page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_development_asia) that was not formatted correctly (lacked inline citations and just had a list of references at the bottom of the article). I cleaned this page up, and now that the issue has been addressed, would like the wikipedia disclaimer at the top of the page to be removed. How can I do so?

Thanks,

The article on the U.S. 5th Infantry Division has an incorrect statement. It says the division was the first allied unit to cross the Rhine on 22 March, 1945. The Wikipedia article on the bridge at Remagen states the 9th Armored Division captured and crossed the bridge on the Rhine on 7 March, 1945 two weeks before the 5th crossed at Oppenheim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.112.166.178 (talk) 13:07, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Introduction to Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre: JPMC is a Federal Government Post Graduate Medical Centre. It had humble beginning in 1939as a Royal Air Force Base Hospital, and now it is a tertiary care & teaching state of the arthospital. The JPMC has the legacy of hard work, dedication and determination traceable to the pre-partition times when a small 80 bed hospital was built in the outskirts of the city. In 1942 thehospital was taken over by the Royal Air Force to provide health care facilities to the armedforces in Karachi dining the Second World.In January 1948 the Pakistan Central Hospital, as it was then called, invited the Father of the Nation. Following that it was named as Jinnah Central Hospital with a pledged to the Father of the Nation to provide health care to every citizen of the country irrespective of cast and creed.Let me unequivocally say that Jinnah Central Hospital was the First institution in the entirecountry named after the Father of the Nation. During following yeses several special care unitswere evolved including Cardiovascular, Pediatrics, College of Nursing and School of physiotherapy. However a significant milestone was laid when Indiana University established”BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES INSTITUTE” (BMSI) in late 50s EMSI Provided PostgraduateUniversity training in Basic Medical subjects where talented students of this institute wereawarded M. Phil degree by the Karachi University and scholarship for Ph.D at IndianaUniversity.With the start of BMSI, Jinnah Central Hospital was upgraded to Jinnah Postgraduate MedicalCentre. In 1964 College of Physicians and Surgeons Pakistan (CPSP) was started with efforts of late General WAK Burke. Professors of BMSJ at JPMC provided teaching and training of CPSPfellows in all basic medical sciences subjects.Presently have the hospital 1185 bed strength 28 clinical Departments and 17 non - clinicaldepartments teaching school for Nurses, Para medical Physiotherapy Occupational Therapy et — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.253.114.133 (talk) 13:04, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

Information cited under the heading of "muzzle energy" may need checking

The information listed in the article concerning calculating muzzle energy May be in need of some correction, or at least fact checking. The article uses an example of a 357 magnum load using a 180 grain projectile and creating an energy of 580 foot-pounds. The article next dates that a 357 magnum using a 110 grain projectile might only create a muzzle energy of 410 foot-pounds. More than likely the figures derived should be transposed. The lighter round of 110 grains will fire at a much increased muzzle velocity of over 1450 ft./s, thereby creating a higher muzzle energy than the 180 grain round, which typically accelerates to less than 1100 ft./s. Even though the 180 grain projectile is heavier, because of it's slower speed it creates less energy then the lighter quicker projectile.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clan_Leslie

The escutcheon, or shield, at the right of the page is incorrect. I copy the exact description from the EXTRACT OF MATRICULATION of the Arms of THE EARL OF ROTHES, James Malcolm David Leslie's father:

Quarterly; 1st and 4th, Argent on a bend Azure three buckles Or (for Leslie); 2nd and 3rd, Or, a lion rampant Gules surmounted of a ribbon Sable (for Abernethy)

Therefore, the top right and bottom left quarters are correct, but the top left and bottom right quarters should have blue "strips" with gold buckles.

Also, for reference for your readers, there are a great many griffins colored a horrible green out there purporting to be associated with Clan Leslie. A griffin's color is 'proper', meaning the way it really is in nature. Now, griffins don't exist. But these mythological beasts are part eagle, part lion, both of which--in real life--are brown, not green. In the case of the Clan Leslie griffin, the color is described as 'proper' (brown), with arms, wings and beaks 'Or' (gold).

Radway

Radway is also home to the world famous actor Brad Pitt. He was born in the village in the summer of 1985. After he was discovered as an actor he moved to Hollywood but he will never forget Radway and his inspirational drama teacher Phil Douthwaite. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.194.102.105 (talk) 19:16, 23 January 2013 (UTC)

The spirituality section of the Ojibwe Wikipedia page needs to be corrected. Is this the appropriate place to request this? Some comments in CAPS below.

The Ojibwe have a number of spiritual beliefs passed down by oral tradition (SURE, AND NOW OVER THE INTERNET TOO) Pictorial notation of an Ojibwe music board.under the Midewiwin teachings. These include a creation story and a recounting of the origins of ceremonies and rituals. Spiritual beliefs and rituals were very important to the Ojibwe because spirits guided them through life.STILL DO Birch bark scrolls and petroforms were used to pass along knowledge and information, as well as for ceremonies. Pictographs were also used for ceremonies.

The sweatlodge is still used during important ceremonies about the four directions, when oral history is recounted.HUH? A SWEATLODGE IS NOT A TEACHING CEREMONY, AND IT IS MOSTLY DONE IN SILENCE SO I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS. YES, THE FOUR DIRECTIONS ARE INVOLVED ALTHOUGH NOT ORALLY, MOSTLY THROUGH SILENT PRAYER, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY ORAL HISTORY RECOUNTED IN A SWEATLODGE CEREMONY Teaching lodges are common today to teach the next generations about the language and ancient ways of the past.MAYBE ALTHOUGH I HAVE NEVER SEEN ONE ALTHOUGH I SUPPOSE THIS IS POSSIBLE. I WOULD THINK THIS MIGHT BE A TEACHING CIRCLE? ALSO THERE ARE MANY OTHER ASPECTS OF THEIR SPIRITUALITY NOT MENTIONED The traditional ways, ideas, and teachings are preserved and practiced in such living ceremonies. The Ojbwe crafted the dreamcatcher. They believe that if one is hung above the head of a sleeper, it will catch and trap bad dreams, preventing them from reaching the dreamer. Traditional Ojibwe use dreamcatchers only for children, as they believe that adults should be able to interpret their dreams, good or bad and use them in their lives.

misspelling in Student-Centered Learning

The heading for Student-Centered Learning is spelled "Student-centred learning." In the text of the article, student-centered learning is spelled correctly. How can this be corrected?

"Student-centred learning" topic

I recognize that "centred" must be the British spelling, so the heading is not "misspelled." If Wikipedia chooses to go with the British spelling that's OK, and I was mistaken when I called it a misspelling. However the text of the article uses the -RED spelling 45 times and uses the -ERED spelling 10 times, without explanation of the difference, as far as I noticed. Perhaps this ambiguity is simply an acceptable part of a global resource but it might cause confusion for some, ass it did for me. Thank you.

I have been trying to edit: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedrich_Paulus due to severe historical erros, first of all, there has never been a nation called "east germany" it was called the GDR or DDR in german DDR meaning Deutsche Demokratische Republik. Also the flag on this page is wrong, the DDR flag is NOT identical with the BRD (Bundesrepublik Deutschland) one. It is Black-red-gold with the arms (hammer and compass on a red disk surrounded by a wreath of two ears of wheat). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.167.49.53 (talk) 21:42, 12 July 2013 (UTC)
