Talk:Aleksandr Lyapunov

message: The following translation seems ackward,
"He lectured about mechanics in six areas: kinematics, the dynamics of a pointed body, the dynamics of systems of pointed bodies..." 
From context the references seem to be to "the dynamics of a particle" and "the dynamics of a system of particles." --Jbergquist 23:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

message: A better translation for "О постоянных винтовых движениях твердого тела в жидкости" might be 
"Concerning the constant rotational motion of rigid bodies in fluids."  The -ого in твердого indicates the genative plural case and в takes the accusative so жидкости is also plural.  --Jbergquist 02:08, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  3923 

message: Fan fiction authors commonly use a shorthand reference for the four main characters. Three for Sanzo, 9 for Goku, 8 for Hakkai and 5 for Goyjo. As an example, a person might request a 58 story, meaning a story featuring Hakkai and Goygo. A character named Tenpou in the Gaiden series is shorthanded to 10 as well. 
As this is the first time I've ever tried doing this on Wiki I'm not entire sure how to cite a source on this other than you can go to just about any fan fic site that features Saiyuki fan fiction and see this taking place, it's possible there is an explanation on the author personal page of this, but as it's in Japanese I have no way of telling.
I hope I've done this correctly, if I've erred in some way in posting constructive correction would be appreciated. 
Thank you

message: Jean Jacques Susini (' a French political figure, militant and co-founder of the Organisation armée secrète (OAS), a paramilitary organization opposing Algerian independence from France' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean-Jacques_Susini) was an ultra-colonialist, Fascist murderer and founder of the OAS, 'meaning Secret Armed Organisation) ..... a far-right[1] French dissident paramilitary organisation during the Algerian War. The OAS carried out terrorist attacks, including bombings and assassinations, in an attempt to prevent Algeria's independence from French colonial rule.[1][2] Its motto was L’Algérie est française et le restera ("Algeria is French and will remain so").(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Organisation_arm%C3%A9e_secr%C3%A8te ).
The article under discussion here attempts to be a sober chronicle of the history of Tobacco Smoking: the illustration of Susini (taken from his Wikipedia page) has nothing to do with this discussion: it is an attempt to infiltrate far-right propaganda onto Wikipedia and should be removed at once.

message: First sentence: "Tobacco smoking is the practice of burning tobacco and ingesting the resulting smoke" - ingesting is odd and implies smoke goes down the gastrointestinal tract.

Talk:Crimes against humanity

message: Re:
According to the Rome Statute, there are eleven types of crime that can be charged as a crime against humanity when "committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against any civilian population": "murder; extermination; enslavement; deportation or forcible transfer of population; imprisonment or other severe deprivation of physical liberty in violation of fundamental rules of international law; torture; rape, sexual slavery, enforced prostitution, forced pregnancy, enforced sterilization, or any other form of sexual violence of comparable gravity; persecution against any identifiable group or collectivity...; enforced disappearance...; the crime of apartheid; other inhumane acts of a similar character intentionally causing great suffering, or serious injury to body or to mental or physical health."
Would this apply to the displacement by migration to the east of Ukraine? They never technically FORCED Ukrainians out, but they made the Ukrainians want to leave the area, and encouraged their people to flood in long before the war, so that inevitably the entire region was majority Russian. You can never prove it was INTENTIONAL, but proving intent is kinda sketchy given the standards of proof we couldn't technically prove the INTENT of the Nazi's at The Hague very well. So giving up on proving intent how would you go about arguing that the slow gradual displacement of Ukrainians by migration of Russian populations is genocide given that it clearly is? 2001:8003:2953:1900:50FD:2CD8:8930:2A5B (talk) 05:36, 14 March 2024 (UTC)
