Talk:Jim Clark (disambiguation)

message: Is there any reason not to merge the Jim and James disambiguation pages? You have to check both pages anyway since Jim and James are interchangeable names. Stbalbach 17:54, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: There are some people (namely Jim Clark (racing driver)) who are known exclusively by "Jim" and never "James". About the merging, I don't know.--Commander Keane 11:29, 22 September 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Jim is technically short for James, but a lot of James are more popularly known as Jim. Some people might not realize that, come to the Jim page, and not see it. That is the problem. Having Jim redirect would solve the problem with the race car driver. Stbalbach 14:19, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

text: There is allready a problem related to this. There is now a duplicate entry for "Jim Clark" and "James Clark", the same guy who founded Netscape. I suspect this could lead an editor to create a duplicate article because they didnt think to check the James entry. I really do think these articles need to be merged to avoid bigger problems in the future, even if some people dont always go by the name. You can seperate the list in the disambig page between those that are Jim's and James. Stbalbach 14:26, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

message: What? We have Jim Clark at Jim Clark (racing driver) and have Jim Clark redirect to there?!? I suddenly have a terrible headache. Move Jim Clark (racing driver) to Jim Clark and simply remove the "Jim Clark redirects here" from the disambiguation notice at the top. It's not like we have "Plato" redirect to "Plato (philosopher)" and then put at the top "Plato redirects here. For other uses, see Plato (disambiguation)". Man. -Silence 03:23, 31 October 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Germany?

message: I’ve deleted some speculation in the consequences section (here): I don’t know if it’s been interpolated into some quoted material, or if it is from the source quoted. If it’s someone’s opinion, its bollocks; if it is from the source quoted then I’d question the that person’s competence to talk about the subject. To go from 'having produced a fleet of 80 ships by 1814' to 'given a few more years they would have 150' is simply incompetent in the maths department. If it takes ten years to produce up to 80 ships, it will take at least another ten to produce 70 more, by which time what state would the first 80 be in? 
There is also a suggestion the ships built were of poor quality (using inferior wood, etc) and a quick review of those built in this period (the Ocean, Bucentaure and Temeraire classes) shows most of those that hadn’t been lost had been broken up or hulked by 1820.
Anyway, Napoleon’s problem wasn’t ships, it was men to crew them; Britain invested in a strong navy, at the expense of a small army. Napoleon had an army ten times as big as Britain’s; the corollary to that is a small pool of men for a navy. Writers about he period point out that N had stripped his fleet of gunners to provide the army with artillerymen, and was having to fill his ships with landsmen, underlining the fact.
Anyway, it isn't just my opinion; here is a discussion on the subject, making similar points. Moonraker12 (talk) 22:27, 29 July 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Gigi (novella)

message: Having seen the film gigi i was surprised to read that gigi was being groomed for a career as a "grand cocotte". Not knowing what the term meant i followed the link to find an article entitled courtisan about upper class, educated, prostitutes (for lack of a better word. It is entirely possible that i romanticised Gigi's lessons with her aunt but i had always assumed they were simply a form of deportment. I also believe that had Gigi been groomed as a courtier she would not be so opposed to the idea of simply being with gaston. It seemed to me like she detested the idea of being with several men for financial support and as though she had always inteded to marry a man whome she loved. Have i completely missunderstood the film? I hope not Gigi as a grande cocotte seems entirely to crass —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.221.63.93 (talk)

thread_title:  grand cocotte 

message: I think that Gigi should be moved to Gigi (novel) and Gigi be the disambiguation page.  This is a relatively common given name, while most of the works are related to the book, there are two notable contemporary artists who are known simply as "Gigi" (D'Agostino and Shibabaw).  I'm not sure that there's a strong case that the novel is "the most important Gigi". - BalthCat (talk) 09:52, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  DAB swap 

message: The article says, "A 1958 musical film version, starring Leslie Caron in the title role, with a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner and a score by Lerner and Frederick Loewe won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Lerner and Loewe adapted the film for an expurgated 1973 stage musical that proved to be unsuccessful ...." Why would the stage musical have needed to be expurgated? The 1958 film had been made when film censorship was still in effect in the U.S. and had been subject to the Motion Picture Production Code, and when the film rating system was established, the film eventually received a G rating. Meanwhile, by 1973 there was no noticeable censorship on the Broadway stage. Any content that had been acceptable on film in 1958 would surely have been allowed on stage in 1973, or for that matter in 1958 since the American theatre was less censored than American film at that time. Hence, I doubt that the term "expurgated" should be applied to the 1973 stage musical. (I have no idea whether either the film or stage musical was expurgated compared to the novella by Colette, but that's a separate matter.) --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:39, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Onobrychis

message: The notation "full size" under the picture caught my attention.  I know that when I click on it I get a larger picture.  Still somehow the term carries a suggestion that what you get is the actual size of the plant.  That's a tall order when people have different size monitors on their computers.  So I am led to make one of my dreamier suggestions.  Could some sort of scale be worked into WikiTree of Life pictures so that readers would know exactly how big these organisms really are?  Is such a modification technically feasible at all.  Eclecticology, Sunday, July 14, 2002 
Excellent point - I changed the wording. It would be nice is people somehow indicated scale within the images themselves (either by also imaging something of known size or adding scale via computer afterwards), but I don't see this as being a practical thing to ask for. Besides, this is the type of info that can and should be added to the text of the article -- preferably in the first paragraph after the definition (unless size is a defining characteristic, in which case that would be part of the definition). A scale bar would be most useful for any micographs (thinking of nematode). We could always add these via a graphics manipulation program after the initial upload of an image -- would include some guesswork though. --maveric149, Sunday, July 14, 2002
Sainfoin seems to be the same plant as alfalfa (also called lucerne).  Or are they different species in the same family of plants?

Talk:Arsenal ship

message: Now that I've sorted out the SC21 (United States) article (and included a reasonably grown-up section on the Arsenal Ship), would it make sense to merge this article into that one, the AS did end up as part of the SC-21 program even if it started out separately? I'm 50:50 about merging - I'm sure this article could be much bigger (I've seen a big DARPA report on it somewhere for instance), but it would also benefit from the context it gains from being part of the SC-21 article, and it saves duplication.Incidentally N2e and others - it looks like that bibliography has been copied from | the Driesbach thesis - I suspect some of the crud you removed was also derived from that, but someone couldn't work out how to do inline citations (as Driesbach did), so they just copied out Driesbach's book list. I'm sure they're all solid references, but you can probably only find them if you have access to the library at the Naval Postgraduate School, Monterey... 82.3.242.144 (talk) 23:30, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

message: Change: was a Semitic-speaking civilization and region of the Southern Levant in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC.
To: was a Semitic-speaking region of the Southern Levant in the Ancient Near East during the late 2nd millennium BC.
Summary: Removal of the word "civilization" from that specific paragraph.
Explanation:
Nowhere in the article, or external historical and archaeological sources, is there evidence of a "Canaanite civilization" in the late 2nd millenium BCE.
At the time frame suggested, the Canaan region had an assortment of seperate tribes and city-states with little commonality, therefore not meeting the criteria of "Civilization". Calling it a "Canaanite civilization" for that time frame, is not established in the article, as the article explicitly lists distinct civilizations during the late 2nd millenium BCE, all living in the region of Canaan.

The word "immaterial" is linked to point to page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generally_Accepted_Auditing_Standards which in turn doesn't contain anything relevant content.
