Kohl/kale[edit]

Thank you for your efforts to deepen readers' semantic understanding of kale and its naming history. What's unclear in your description (I think) is how members of the genus (Brassicaceae) could include green leafy vegetables plants in the mustard family named in some continuity with cruciferous vegetables: round cabbages and other plants, such as (cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, some seeds, etc.). The Brassica article says:

Crops from this genus are sometimes called cole crops—derived from the Latin caulis, meaning stem or cabbage.^[1]

Dear MaynardClark

Thank you for your message. I see that the "kale" article has been restored! I rewrote some sentences to change "peasant" for "farmer", and to clarify the derivation of "kale" from Latin "caulis". I'm sorry that you've taken objection to these changes. I am also researching prostaglandins, and lutein, and as kale is hard to define then I shall make further researches and present something with more integrity. If that'll help . . . I've never had much interest in Brussels sprouts, but here is an opportunity.

Disambiguation link notification for November 27[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Acephala group, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Variety. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Reversion of Beethoven Symphony no.6[edit]

Thank you for the reversion of the page about Beethoven's sinfonia 6ta from Wikiain. I take the point about subjective points; since the page was edited further information has been obtained from the editor of an edition of Beethoven's works, with regard to the words Beethoven wrote on his manuscript. When I have been to see the source, then I shall re-edit the page. I am also searching for open-ended questions in encyclopaedia articles. Facts are important; but knowledge can fall between the cracks sometimes. Halteres (talk) 09:32, 28 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Landlocked countries[edit]

The article "landlocked countries" refers to the classification "landlocked developing countries (LLDC)". Only one reference is given; what other references does the author have? How widespread is the authority of the person who made the classification? Also, LDC would be a better acronym since "landlocked" is an adjective (ref. OED, online, 2015) and starts with "l". Or are we not going to use it? The geographers and the United Nations concern themselves with landlockedness.

With regard to Kazakhstan, an enormous country, and its landlockedness, how is it landlocked by the Caspian Sea? You can sail across the Caspian Sea to another country, so what differences exist between the Caspian Sea, and, for example, the Baltic Sea? The Caspian Sea connects Kazakhstan, and Iran, which have no other border. Or does a landlocked country have no access to the continuous body of water labelled arbitrarily in different places as Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, China, Mediterranean, . . . I suppose on the Caspian Sea you can't sail a ship freely between any two countries in the world. It's a nice point.

I would suggest the reservation of "landlocked" for countries with no coast at all. Knowing and ranking the landlocked countries by size has little practical use.
