Talk:Trip hammer

message: Some one linked blooms in relation to a finery forge to bloomery.  This is erroneous.  The word bloom refers both to the product of a bloomery (where a mass of iron was made direct form the ore) and the product of a finery in a finery forge.  A finery forge does not have a bloomery or work on its products.  In the late medieval period, water-powered hammers were used to draw out the blooms made in bloomeries, but these hammer mills were not finery forges.  "Hammer mill" should also not be linked because the article with that title is about something else.  Peterkingiron (talk) 17:46, 14 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Helve hammer

message: "The nose helve hammer ... was lifted beyond the head.  Surviving nosehelves" and the reference "For example at Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet" is dubious.  The website for the Hamlet only mentions tilt hammers and all the pictures are of tilt hammers.  It's about 45 years since I last visited it, but I remember the tilt hammers to the left of the main water wheels and having a guide explain the advantages of a tilt hammer over a lift (nose helve) hammer.  I can't recall seeing and lift hammers anywhere.  Can someone with a bit more up to date knowledge check this out please.  Thanks, Martin of Sheffield (talk) 10:01, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

message: The link to the martinet article is incorrect. That article is about a device used in corporal punishment, with one sentence saying that "martinet" is also the French word for a type of hammer. This does not help the reader to understand what sort of hammer the martinet is. Having the word, and link, in the sentence does not clarify what sort of "forge hammer" the Historia de Gentibus Septentrionalibus by Olaus Magnus depicts. If you know  what a martinet is, and if you also think it is important to the reader to know this, then please find an illustration (perhaps from Gentibus Septentrionalibus?) that will inform the reader.

thread_title:  Link error ? 

message: In this section it was written that; "This [tamahagane] allows the sword to have... the flexibility to take blows without breaking". I think that using the term "flexibility" is misleading because in the context of a materiel it usually means "be capable of warping or bending and then reverting to shape." and from what I have gathered, traditionally made katanas can only bend slightly and return to their original position compared to many other steel swords. Since this had no citations, I took the liberty to replace "the flexibility to take blows without breaking" with "to cause the sword to tend to bend rather than flex under stress". The softer more malleable steel in the sword's spine supports this claim, but I do not know of a reliable source for me to cite this information.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.163.56.38 (talk) 21:51, 15 February 2016 (UTC)

message: I was taught by my grandfather, who was a lawyer, that the sub judice rule applies specifically to officials of the other two branches of the government.  Ordinary citizens are under no such constraint.  The object is, of course, to avoid the appearance of undue influence being wielded by members of the executive and/or the legislative.  Moreover, according to what I was given to understand, the sub judice rule is not codified into written law, but a matter of custom and respect for due process on the part of the authorities in question.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find any references for this, so I'm not updating the article with it (yet).

Category talk:Japan geography stubs

message: Is there any objection to adding a space to the beginning of each sorted subcat name?  For example, the :Category:Yamanashi geography stubs would be edited so that instead of Category:Japan geography stubs, it would be  Yamanashi that puts it into this category, sorted as " Y...".  Then, instead of having to page through five or six pages of unsorted stubs, all of the prefectural splits would show up on the first page. The only drawback is that all of the subcats would be listed under "<space>", with no divisions.  -- Neier 23:41, 27 October 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Psusennes I

message: I updated his Nomen cartouche from the "Gold Disk" from Psusennes I tomb at Tanis,  now in Egyptian Museum, Cairo.  Gold disc is 16.6 cm, and was used to close the incision on the stomach.  It bears the Eye of Horus, as a sign of "intactness", (Wholeness). (I do not know the significance of the twisted cord hieroglyph above the hieroglyph for town, intersection.) [ The Budge 2-volume dictionary implies it is the symbol related to the word "āntch" (long a)(= sound, healthy), and beneath the similar hieroglyph for goddess Neith ]. (The symbol for "N",wavy line does not work in the Cartouche(below star and above town) in Wiki; I originally had tried it. )(It does work here.)

thread_title: untitled

message: Believed lost in the BBC's early 1970s purge, negative film prints of all six episodes were recovered from BBC Enterprises in the late 1970s. These prints appear to have stemmed from a 1973 sale to Algeria and as a result the final episode was amended so that the "Next Episode" caption referred to "The Space Museum" instead of "The Lion", as the next story The Crusade was not sold to Arab countries. There were also some edits to the first episode. Unedited prints of all six episodes were also discovered in Nigeria in 1985.
These points are simply not true, and come from long-standing unsupported fan-rumours from the 1980s. Sales documents found at BBC by Paul Vanezis in 2008 have revealed the truth, some of which hve een published in Richard Molesworth's book, Wiped (published by Telos):
1) The negatives held at the BBC were in English, not Arabic. 
2) Algeria never screened the story, so prints cannot have been returned from there.(per documentation found at BBC in 2008, and reported on the BroaDWcast website with Paul's assistance.)
3) No story after The Rescue was sold to Arab-speaking countries, so the subject matter of The Crusade really had nothing to do with the serial not screening in that region; it's a coincidence (ibid)
4) The caption was changed after The Crusade was withdrawn from sale; The Space Museum was still available for sale, so the caption was changed to reflect this (ibid)
There are many fan-rumours dating back to the early days of fandom that are still be perpetuated despite being debunked.

thread_title:  Drought left out! 

message: I think we need to mention specific biases in this list. For one, it seems to bias towards earlier in history, i.e. before major disaster preparedness and mitigation came about. It also seems that the flood bias may also be due to population density -- I think the largest cities in China are on the Yellow River (historically as well?).
Additionally, floods would seem to have a heavy bias because most cities are built on or very close to a river or other body of water, whereas, for example, tornadoes appear in the less dense U.S. Midwest. IMacWin95 21:14, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: This is not a bias so much as a consequence of varying initial conditions. If more people live where disasters occur, or if there are more people living in the world now, then more people will die in natural disasters. By all means mention this, and give reasons why the impact varies from place to place and from the past to the present, but don't call it a bias. That implies someone is selecting some events from the list and omitting others, and that is not what is happening. Carcharoth 13:49, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:People from West Virginia

message: I can see both sides of this issue...being from a county that had strong Virginia ties and many FFVs (First Families of Virginia) that originally settled it (Hampshire), I feel those people should be considered Virginians. Nancy Hanks was a Virginian and born in Hampshire County at that time. She cannot be considered from a state that didn't exist during her lifetime. Stonewall Jackson is also a Virginian and joined the war for Virginia, eventhough he was from Clarksburg which later became part of WV. I think to be considered a "person from West Virginia", it has to be someone who lived in West Virginia after June 20, 1863 or someone active in the West Virginia statehood process of the early 1860s. If the person's article says (now West Virginia) after their birthplace or hometown, that says it all. 
Here is a list of those I consider Virginians:
*James J. Andrews, he died in 1862
*Thomas J. Jackson, he fought for the Confederacy and died before June 20
*Harry F. Byrd, born in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley near Winchester, not even close to being West Virginian whatsoever
Like General Jackson, Nathan Goff, Jr. was born in Clarksburg when it was Virginia, but unlike Jackson, Goff is a West Virginia because he lived here past June 20, 1863 and served as a Congressman who later represented West Virginia. Caponer 21:47, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Defining who is and who isn't West Virginian

message: In Charleston, West Virginia at the capital building there is a bust of Jacksoninside and outside a large Statue.  This is somewhat ironic, because had the side Jackson fought for won, then most likely West Virginia would not be a state. However, Jackson was born in Parkersburg, West Virginia which is now about as far away from Virginia as you can get in West Virginia.  If you look for Jacksons birth place in a modern map of Virginia, you will not find it.
In WV's schools we are taught about these people as being West Virginian's, yet we are not taught of Jamestown and the Virginia Assembly.  These people were born in what is now geographically West Virginia and they are very much part of our history.   They should be considered  WVer's --71Demon 23:30, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

Whatever one thinks of Heuvelmans' classification of sightings, or his contention that large oceanic species remain to be discovered (and I wouldn't bet against him) this section is woefully inadequate IMO.
The problem with classifying this article as Mythology is that eye-witnesses believed they were seeing corporeal unknown creatures. They may well have been wrong, and in many cases misidentified a known species, but they didn't believe the 'sea monsters' they saw to be mythical dragons. There may be a need for two articles, one on the mythology of marine monsters and another on currently-unidentified marine creatures. Chrismorey (talk) 16:55, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
