Talk:Libyan Sibyl

message: I've been cleaning up the disambiguation page Lamia and bringing it into conformance with MOS:DP. The following section had been living there, but it can't stay. After spending the past half-hour going back and forth between Libyan Sibyl and Lamia (mythology), I still can't make heads or tails of whether this is a different Lamia than Lamia (mythology) and thus should have her own page, or not, or what.
So I'm bringing it here, in the hopes that someone competent can either incorporate it, trash it, or use it to begin a new article.Sanguinity 23:24, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Lamia in Libya is a kind of female vampire, who is said be extraordinarly attractive and extremely dangerous, especially to males and children. In one legend she is said to have been a personification of, and Queen of Libya who, on account of Zeus' affection toward her, drew the wrath of the goddess Hera, who killed all of Lamia's children save Scylla. Either a curse of Hera's or the grief of losing her children caused Lamia to turn into a monster.  Thereafter she sought revenge for her lost children, roaming the earth, killing any infant she came upon, much like the Spanish tales of La Llorona.  According to Diodorus Siculus's version of the story, Lamia has the ability to take out and put in her eyes, and had a Sibyl's second sight.
15 years later! I will not be able to help, but I have been caught in a similar back-and-forth with the Sybil Rock, the Libyan Sibyl, and Lamia. It is very confusing and perhaps will never be resolved. Both of these Sibyls are described as descended from Lamia, both seem to be connected to Libya, and it is hard to resist wondering if they are the same ... but how could they be! Aside from the sources being unclear. I think it may arise from an error in Pausanias, either made by him, or an early error by an editor.

Talk:German submarine U-219

message: Frankly I see no basis for questioning the notability of the article. Any U-boat which was part of the Monsun Gruppe, consigned cargoes to Imperial Japan and was seized by the Japanese navy after the fall of Nazi Germany meets WP:N by far. U-boat.net, the main source for the narrative, also seems to be quite reliable. Any explanation for this?--Darius (talk) 00:18, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Type? 

message: I've made some changes:
1. "of a different sort" to "in a different way". I thought it was a better choice of words.
2. "unusual" to "harrowing". There was nothing 'unusual' about being depth charged, quite the contrary. It might have been 'unusual' to be depth charged 678 times, but 'harrowing' covers the situation between one dc and 678 of them better.
3. In the last paragraph, I've changed 'where' to 'when'. The 'where' made it sound like the U-boat was sunk in Loch Ryan and I don't think that was the intention.

Talk:German submarine U-555

message: Two of my dictionaries defines 'stricken' as "afflicted with disease, grief, etc." or "afflicted, much distressed". I don't think that is what is meant here - something like 'decommissioned' might be more appropriate as I would say that the original intention was not to state that the U-boat was ill or troubled. I have seen the 'stricken' word on other U-boat pages and always wondered...

replies: text: This article also notes that there is some debate about how they reached the U-boat, fully clothed or not. I have plumped for the 'travelling in the whaler' story simply because I have read GG Connell's account about Petard; and he should know what happened, he was a sub-lieutenant commanding the whaler!

thread_title:  Skinny dipping 

message: I have removed the sentence in para 2 of the 'sinking' section that states: "The Germans were collected by British ships and sent below decks, where they would not have seen what followed.", because a) the 'citation needed' tag has been there over a year, b) I can find nothing to substaniate it and c) further on in the same paragraph we get: "Two German crew members, rescued from the sea, watched this material [code-books and so on] being loaded into Petards whaler." This seems to make the earlier sentence irrelevant. 
RASAM (talk) 19:31, 26 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: 'Citation needed'

message: Were the seacocks open or closed when U-559 sank?
In the U-559 article, it says they were closed:
"The German crew hurriedly scrambled overboard without destroying their codebooks or Enigma machine and, crucially, having failed to open sea-water vents to properly scuttle the U-boat."
However, on the Tommy Brown article it says they were open:
"The German crew had opened the boat's seacocks before abandoning ship causing the vessel to rapidly take on water." 
I would tend to believe that they were open, there normally being no other way for a vessel to flood that quickly, except that the U-559 article also states:
"After dark, U-559, with a cracked pressure hull, unable to maintain level trim and four of her crew dead from explosions and flooding, was forced to the surface."
A cracked pressure hull could explain why a vessel with closed seacocks would sink to quickly.
Similarly, the webpage Ellsbury.com states: "In the captain's cabin Fasson found some documents printed in water-soluble ink. Despite the water pouring through the shell hole, Brown succeeded in keeping them dry as he clambered up the ladder in the conning tower and passed them to others waiting in Petard's whaler made fast alongside."
However, the webpage Shipwrecks of Egypt states: "The crew of the submarine opened seavalves and petcocks in order to scuttle the submarine before abandoning it."
Can anyone provide a definite answer? -Noha307 (talk) 01:44, 30 October 2012 (UTC)

message: The article does well in terms of organization and tone. However, in order to make this article more resourceful it would be beneficial to add more media and content.

Talk:Only Path to God

----
*:I've deleted this article, because it seems like it only exists to make a point (that Sikhism is superior to other religions because it does not claim to be the only path to God).  It therefore violates WP:NOR and WP:NPOV.  I think it would be valid to make a reference to this principle of Sikhism in the Sikhism article itself, if it's not there already.  Thanks, NawlinWiki 20:13, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The article in its current form still reads like an essay, making the content appear unencyclopaedic. Sikhs believe W, Christians believe X, Jews believe Y, Islamics believe Z, Hindu, Bahá'í, Mormons, etc. - why not just place each belief system's specific beliefs on their related page? There doesn't seem to be enough in this article to warrant its own page. We don't have a Beliefs about God article, nor do we have one called Dietary restrictions inspired by religion; instead, we mention those beliefs on the related articles for each specific belief system. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 01:04, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Background

message: The title of this article might be appropriate for an essay, but because it mentions "God" it is not inclusive of non-monotheistic religions.  I proposed it be merged with Religious pluralism or other appropriate articles with which it is redundant. -- Beland 22:28, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm absolutely in agreement with this. In fact, in reading through the religious pluralism article, I see that (nearly?) all of the information contained here (in Only Path to God) is already contained there as well, except for the quotations, which I'm not sure would necessarily add much to the pluralism article. So the merging process would really amount to creating a redirect, and leaving it at that. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 19:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's been ages, so I've just gone ahead and "merged" the pages (i.e., made this one into a redirect). I could find no information in the Only Path to God article that wasn't already in the Religious pluralism article; if I missed anything, please feel free to pull it out of an old version of this page, and insert it wherever it fits best on the Religious pluralism page. Cheers. --PeruvianLlama(spit) 21:24, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

message: I nearly deleted the first citation and inserted a cite needed tag. I would strongly suggest finding a different source to replace source number 1, 7th Battalion The Cameronians Multiple Sclerosis Research Initiative. That "source" has no citations on its page at all. It is fantastically Anti-japanese, particularly the Hong Kong section, and is hosted by a UK-based page. I quote from that section of the site "the peace and tranquillity of this island paradise was shattered when the troops of General Tanaka defeated the gallant soldiers of Britain..." The text is very POV. It is also ripped off from an even more biased site that it lists at the very bottom. That site, as well, has no citations. It is uncertain how much of it is true.
