Talk:No. 76 special incendiary grenade

message: A picture of the grenade or of it in use would improve the article. 68.147.225.236 (talk) 17:00, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article could be improved with a picture. 

message: I don't get it:
"Because of safety concerns, the RAF was not interested in white phosphorus as a source of ignition, but the idea of a self-igniting petrol bomb took hold. Initially known as an "A.W. bomb", it was officially named the "No. 76 grenade", but was more commonly known as the "SIP" (self-igniting phosphorus) grenade. The perfected list of ingredients was white phosphorus, benzene, water and a two-inch strip of raw rubber; all in a half-pint bottle sealed with a crown stopper.[2]"
"...the RAF was not interested in white phosphorus...SO THEY USED WHITE PHOSPHORUS..."

Talk:Harold Lowe

message: An image taken by a passenger on the Carpathia clearly shows Lowe at the tiller of lifeboat 14 as they approach rescue.1
I don't think the picture referenced "clearly" shows anything, except some people in a boat, with a man (who could be anyone) at the tiller. Unless it's a low quality reproduction of a much better image, the statement is questionable. 66.234.222.96 (talk) 14:13, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Clearly at the tiller? 

message: Updated the article to give Lowe's birthplace it's proper designation, Conwy County did not exist at the time of his birth and the village is properly known as Llanrhos (see linked Wikipedia page confirming this).
I also removed the claim that Lowe was reprimanded for being racist, as the source linked was insufficiently clear and included no page numbers to reference. Will be happy to return it once the claim is properly sourced. Incidentally, the word 'racist' does not appear at all in the text of Walter Lord's a night to remember, so I'm not expecting this to happen any time soon.
::I've had a chance to look into this and it seems that after giving testimony to the US hearings, Lowe was approached by the Italian ambassador and asked to amend his statement that the steerage passengers who threatened to swamp the boats were 'Italians'. Lowe was happy to amend the record to clarify that these people were Latin in appearance, removing the word Italian; and the testimony records were updated accordingly. The claim that he used the word 'Italian' as a synonym for coward is groundless. The claim that he was reprimanded for being racist is also groundless. It was a matter of national pride which led the ambassador to seek a formal retraction for his erroneous categorisation, which Lowe gladly offered.

thread_title:  The figure 

message: I don't understand the difference between additive versus multiplicative.  It would be great to have an explanation to go with the examples.  Currently they look the same with an offset added to values in the column to generate a sequence.  Also why does the additive example not have the correct ordering of the rows.  I thought part of the intution is that one could permute the rows to visualize the cluster.  Why not permute the rows in a way to show the additive relationship.  As a final comment, the rest of the article never mentions constant, it only mentions contiguous and coherent.  I assume that constant and contiguous are not the same thing.  It would be nice to have all this defined and explained.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.4.12.140 (talk) 23:10, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

:Payments to the Dakota Indians had not been made, partly because of delays caused by the American Civil War and possibly because Mary Todd Lincoln had over spent decorating and cleaning the Executive mansion.[clarification needed][citation needed] She spent the entire four year budget allocated by Congress in a matter of months[according to whom?] and she tried to cover it up; when Lincoln found out he was livid and immediately dispatched Congress to quietly approve two appropriations to pay her bills,[clarification needed] and the money had to come from somewhere.[clarification needed][1] [Bold mine that was removed]
Sorry, but this doesn't pass the smell test...  I've read a lot of books on this subject and never heard of Mary Todd Lincoln's involvement with overspending the result of the Dakota War.  Better come up with a better source to make this claim... Dinkytown talk 05:33, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Mary Todd Lincoln and the Dakota Conflict? 

message: There does not seem to be enough content to justify an "Andrew Myrick" biography article. Yes, he may have been a catalyst to the Dakota War, but he did not really cause it. He was just a spark to much larger issues that the Dakota were protesting by going to war. There is too little information about him to give him an article. His importance is overblown, even if his remarks became famous. Everything significant about him can be folded into the Dakota War. Parkwells (talk) 16:56, 7 November 2018 (UTC)

There is no need to resort to extrapolating from YouTube videos and alledged comments referenced to a non-existent page on the  Warsaw Insider .

Magnetic fields can protect objects from cosmic rays allowing some parts of the universe to become heated only by the CMB roughly 3 K. You would expect to find magnetic fields all around a star forming region. Without a citation though, it should be labelled as an estimate and I would just average to 10K.

Talk:George D. Schwab

message: The statement that Schwab emigrated to the USA with his family is dubious. In an article from the German daily newspaper "Frankfurter Allgemeine": "Schwab, according to his memoirs published in 2021 ("Odyssey of a Child Survivor: From Latvia Through the Camps to the United States", privately published, New York), came from Latvia, grew up as the child of a German-speaking Jewish doctor who was shot by the SS Einsatzkommandos in the massacre in Liepāja after the German occupation in 1941. Schwab survived the Liepāja ghetto and several concentration camps, made his way as a street urchin in Hamburg after the war and finally reached New York in 1947, where he met the emigrants Otto Kirchheimer and Franz Neumann, who had studied under Schmitt. In this environment, Schwab tackled the first English-language presentation of Schmitt's political theory as his doctoral thesis. He later set up a foreign policy think tank with Hans Morgenthau and Henry Kissinger. ("Schwab stammt, worüber seine 2021 erschienenen Erinnerungen berichten („Odyssey of a Child Survivor: From Latvia Through the Camps to the United States“, Privatdruck, New York), aus Lettland, wuchs auf als Kind eines deutschsprachigen jüdischen Arztes, der nach der deutschen Besetzung 1941 von den Einsatzkommandos der SS beim Massaker in Liepāja erschossen wurde. Schwab überlebte das Ghetto von Liepāja, mehrere Konzentrationslager, schlug sich nach dem Krieg in Hamburg als Straßenjunge durch und erreichte schließlich 1947 New York, wo er im Studium auf die Emigranten Otto Kirchheimer und Franz Neumann traf, die bei Schmitt studiert hatten. In diesem Umfeld nahm Schwab als Doktorarbeit die erste englischsprachige Darstellung von Schmitts politischer Theorie in Angriff. Später baute er mit Hans Morgenthau und Henry Kissinger eine außenpolitische Denkfabrik auf.") https://www.faz.net/-ibq-bllen 2A02:908:F17:35C0:75BC:1A8B:FCED:88AA (talk) 18:28, 8 March 2024 (UTC)
