Talk:The Lay of Leithian

message: I'm sorry but this stub of an article, over ten years old, had basically just one cited claim, which was about the song 'Menegroth' in the Popular Culture section. The rest was some WP:OR about the title, a summary that duplicates Beren and Lúthien, and a bit of flannel about being in The Lays of Beleriand, which that article says already. There doesn't seem to be any future in having separate articles for each incomplete fragment in each of the volumes of the History of Middle-earth (plenty of scope for stubs there), specially when there is no review material, let alone scholarly analysis. I've therefore merged the pop culture claim and redirected the article to The Lays of Beleriand, which is currently itself rather stubby and could benefit from some analysis.

Talk:USS Greenling (SS-213)

message: For the entry on the Sōya (icebreaker) for which 
   http://www.combinedfleet.com/Soya_t.htm
is a primary source. We have included information about the attack by the Greenling.
"18 January 1943:
Queen Carola Channel, off New Britain. At about 0500, LtCdr James D. Grant’s USS GREENLING (SS-213) torpedoes SOYA at 02-04S, 150-37E, but some of the torpedoes are duds and the others prematurely explode causing no damage. SOYA’s crew hoists a dud Mark 14-3A torpedo up to her deck as a war trophy. [1]"
Fn 1
"[1] GREENLING’s patrol report conflicts with Japanese sources. LtCdr Grant misidentified SOYA as a 500-ton patrol craft. His PR says that he fired only one torpedo and that it ran under the target and did not explode. Japanese sources claim four torpedoes were fired and also give the date of the attack as 28 Jan '43 not 18 Jan '43."

Talk:Bipolar nebula

message: This stub needs some fleshing out, specifically, citations.
I realize that some of the assertions don't yet have citations. Will try to get them shortly. Or if someoen else wants to beat me to the punch, feel free to list articles relating to bipolar nebula formation, etc. I think all the example nebulae are fairly relevant and well documented. Mostly entries (photos with descriptive text) from NASA's APOD and HubbleSite documenting the nebulae and their designations. Those should be pretty non-controversial. If you happen to know of other bipolar nebulae, feel free to add them to the list and document them in ref's as well.
Anything folks care to add or document on formation would be appreciated. Info relating bipolar nebulae to similar planetary nebulae, often they share similar features, would be appreciated. But bipolar nebulae and planetary nebulae aren't synonymous, I don't think; so I'm pretty sure this should remain a separate article. IE, not all planetary nebulae are distinctly bipolar. And not all bipolar nebulae are planetary nebulae (I'm pretty sure). Still, they share enough similar morphologies in a number of cases that it might be good to play up their similarities in those cases. Any research done regarding the two would be good, also. 
Hope everyone finds this article useful and worthwhile. Cheers! Mgmirkin 23:45, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

This is *NOT* true!
In fact G5M *WOULD* have meant that the next bomber was built by Mitsubishi, as the real G5 was the G5N1, built by Nakajima, while the G6M1 and the projected G7M1 were built by Mitsubishi, and the G8N1 by Nakajima again.

Talk:USS Wadsworth (DD-516)

message: This article has a ton of jargon that could easily go over people's head that aren't somewhat familiar with the subject matter.
Examples:
* "At 05:47, Wadsworth's 5-inch (127 mm) guns began to bark," 
* "vectored night fighters"
* "during which they splashed three intruders"
* "training evolutions"
* "The destroyer turned "left full" and the "fish" passed harmlessly by her starboard side.
* "In the summer of 1959, the German transfer crew assembled at Charleston, South Carolina, for indoctrination, while the ship herself was being prepared for turnover."
(Emphasis mine on all of these)
If there is anybody that can help with the translation of these, that would be great. I also saw information that didn't directly pertain to the ship, but to the battles it was involved in generally. I'm completely new to this so I don't want to go in butchering an article so any help would be appreciated.

Talk:USS Sculpin (SS-191)

message: I deleted this:
:"On the night of 10 January 1942, she intercepted two ships, made a surface attack, and scored hits on the lead ship. Forced to dive because of gunfire, Sculpin was unable to assess the results of her attack. Japanese records show that American submarines sank three Japanese ships that night; possibly Sculpin should be given credit for eliminating the 3817 ton merchantman Akita Maru."
First, it's speculation Chappell sank anything; Blair doesn't record it. Nor does he mention a gun action, which was sufficiently unusual, especially so early, he would have. FYI, Lockwood didn't even propose the move to Exmouth Gulf until mid-'42 (Blair, p.283). I also deleted this
:"Postwar examination of Imperial Japanese Navy records revealed the light carrier Hiyō had been moderately damaged by a torpedo. "

Talk:Trade (occupation)

message: Tradesman and artisans, as I understand the two terms are somewhat distinct; a tradesman being a practitioner of some particular skill and an artisan being a craftsman who designs and creates a certain type of product.  I think the best way to preserve that distinctness is to briefly mention guilds in both trade (profession) and artisan, but to leave guilds to expound on the subject.  So, really, I guess what I'm advocating is merging Artisan#Artisan guilds into guilds instead.--Apotheosis247 00:06, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
