Talk:Ernst Gideon von Laudon

message: Although Laudon was a brave and worthy general, it is incorrect to attribute the victory at Kunersdorf to him. In the middle of the battle Loudon and Rumyantsev led allied cavalry charge and repulsed Prussian curassiers in the center, but the battle was far from over. The counterattack  by Loudon and Rumyantsev occurred BEFORE the massive cavalry attack by the entire Prussian cavalry under von Seydlitz. Besides, overall command was Saltykov’s, and Austrians (other than cavalry) were mostly in reserve. I’ll look up the references.Vitoldus44 18:04, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Exagerrattion 

message: According to Johann Pezzl's "Loudon's Lebensgeschichte" (1791), E.G. von Laudon did not have sons. Pezzl says that Laudon's brother's son, Baron Alexander Laudon was the heir, but not effective until Laudon's wife's death. I have a contemporary (1798) swedish translation of Pezzls book. I am not familiar with the more modern literature on Laudon, but the information of Laudon's son is very confusing. I leave the main article unaltered for the time being.

replies: text: I disagree.  Wikipedia:Naming conventions (royalty and nobility)#Other_cases says "1.Treat other European nobility like British nobility above, adopting for local circumstances", the section above (WP:NCPEER) says "Members of the British Peerage, whether hereditary peers or life peers, usually have their articles titled "Personal name, Ordinal (if appropriate) Peerage title", e.g. Alun Gwynne Jones, Baron Chalfont; Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington; Henry John Temple, 3rd Viscount Palmerston", and British Peerage#Ranks includes Baron.  We don't have a peerage title per se in this case, so I would drop the peerage title forming Ernst Gideon von Laudon.    — Jeff G.  ツ 04:39, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: Apparently this is another emigrant Scottish family; Loudon would be the form before translation into Swedish and German. Since he is also called Simon Gideon Laudon and Gideon Loudon, simple Gideon may be the best forename in the title. For what it is worth, we don't spell the Swedish Macleans or the Norwegian Greig as they are spelt in Scotland.  Septentrionalis PMAnderson 16:46, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Douglas DC-7

message: A flat statement that DC-6s and DC-6Bs did not have the range to fly transcon is clearly unwarranted. We can all agree they could have made the trip; they couldn't have flown westbound in under 8 hours, and we don't know just what payload they could have handled westbound if the eight-hour rule hadn't been a problem.
(No reason to imagine the airlines were flying uneconomic payloads from California to Hawaii; remember PA, Northwest, Canadian Pacific, and Philippine flew DC-4s to Hawaii-- Matson too, I guess. But as I recall Calif-Hawaii is a bit shorter than NY-LA.)
The DC-7 didn't carry more fuel than the DC-6B (or the DC-6, I suspect). Wright claimed the Turbo-Compound was more efficient, which it would need to be just to get the same range, with a heavier aircraft flying faster. Brooks says in the cruise the DC-7 burned maybe 10% less fuel per mile than the DC-6B.
FWIW: a DC-6B flew nonstop LA to Paris in 1953 (delivery flight to TAI).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tim Zukas (talk • contribs) 00:43, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The main problem is that these statements are unclear and/or unsourced. Reliable sources need to be provided to back up any claims (and I don't mean airline timetables, which prove nothing), or vague mentions of "Brooks". Btw, it was claimed that the CA-HI route was longer than the CA-NY routes, which is the context of operating with reduced payload - obviously some point was in error. And I'm pretty certain the LA-Paris filght wasn't with a full load either. - BilCat (talk) 00:51, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It for sure wasn't. Exactly what the article should say is up for discussion; all we know for sure is it shouldn't say "The DC-6B didn't have the range to fly transcon", since it will be quite impossible to find any reliable sources to back that claim.

Talk:Douglas DC-4E

message: There seem to be two figures for passenger numbers about, 42 and 52.  This page did give both, without explanation of the difference, before I changed one 52 to 42 to avoid confusion.  42 is Jane's 1938 number, but that was 40 + 2, the lucky 2 having a "stateroom" to themselves. Presumably other layouts were considered and maybe even tried out, and conversion of the stateroom to more normal seating would increase the numbers.  Does anyone have citable evidence that the upper row of windows lit the bunks (for 28 overnight passengers, in Jane's layout) and not the "upper deck" that is sometimes suggested?  Photos of the aircraft on the ground suggest very little headroom above these windows, consistent with the bunk-light idea.  An internal layout drawing at sky-sovereign-dc-4e.blogspot.com/ also seems compatible with this suggestion, which I first saw on their site.TSRL (talk) 15:48, 1 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Have reverted the edit for the following reason: In the line Au Tonkin, la Légion immortelle  À Tuyen-Quang illustra notre drapeau the word "illustra" is past historic, and the subject of the verb is "la Légion". Therefore the meaning of the line (with the word order amended to make it clearer) is, "At the battle of Tuyen-Quang in Tonkin, the Legion did honour to our flag." The alternative translation offered does not make sense. Also, recordings of the song show that it follows the pattern chorus-verse-chorus-verse-chorus, not that suggested by the edit.

Talk:Theophilus Cazenove

message: This article has only one source, and no inline citations.  Made it class=stub. --DThomsen8 (talk) 23:45, 13 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Only one source, no inline citations 

message: This is a general comment / question on links on Wikipedia and other Internet sites that are of hardly any practical value.
Here's the example from the article:
"Cazenove lived well as a financier and was known for his generosity. His business dealings were not particularly successful and the investors barely made any profit, even losing money in the Pennsylvania land dealings which he organized with James Wilson."
In the above sentence (currently--I might change it before you see the original), Pennsylvania is set up as a link, to the Wikipedia article on Pennsylvania.
Now, there are a number of points I'd make here:
* a person reading that sentence and looking for more information about those land dealings does not want to go to a general article on Pennsylvania
* subpoint: possibly that would be OK if the article dealt with those land dealings, and, even better, the link was to the section of the general article that deals with those land dealings.  I don't believe it does--I searched for both Cazenove and Wilson in the Pennsylvania article with no success.  (Now I've also searched for land in the article, found lots of hits, things like Maryland, England, Rhode Island, upland, ..., but nothing about these land dealings (for example, no instance of the word land in or around the time of the Revolutionary War (I mean, like between 1760 and 1800).
So, imho, that link to Pennsylvania is not of any value.
Now, I can imagine that, at one time, somebody left an "open link" to "Pennsylvania land dealings" (by that, I mean a link to a non-existing page, hoping that sooner or later such a page would exist).  Then its possible somebody else came along and, in an effort to be helpful, changed the link to just link to "Pennsylvania" on the basis that such is a valid link.
That was not really helpful in terms of this article.
Does Wikipedia have any kind of policy that addresses this kind of thing?

Talk:Metaphysical nihilism

message: The original topic was defining 'metaphysical nihilism' in a way contrary to how most philosophers use it, so I have added a paragraph explaining the more common usage.  I also removed some quote marks that were being used wrongly.  Someone at some point should say something about the connections between nihilism in the more common sense and other metaphysical doctrines, and say something about the subtraction argument for nihilism.  But not me now.

The angels took my Daddy home when I was just a child
And my Mother cried when they took her son
  so sweet  so young  so mild
My brother blamed himself, so off to war he went
We'd watch the evening news each day in hopes to catch a glimpse
He made it home, against all odds
But he lost his Purple Heart
When he lost track of the man who's life he saved
But he didn't fall apart
To come back home and find his love was a lie from the start
And a child finds out years later
His blood is not in Her heart
My sisters all got lost, they couldn't find their way
And I was left to grieve alone
Just like I am today
But my Angel's love 
It keeps me strong 
I know I'll be all right
