thread_title:  Regarding "A Peruvian airplane ... crashed into the sea." 

message: See Copa Airlines Flight 201
The attitude indicator is duplicated, indeed, triplicated, so that a single fault need not cause a false green and a crash.
Double switching is similar, is that it prevents (most) single faults causing a false green and a crash.    
So there is a similarity.    Tabletop (talk) 10:19, 2 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Faulty attitude indicator 

message: See: Korean Air Cargo Flight 8509
In another crash, the pilot's indicator was apparently faulty, though the other two were working OK.  However Korean culture didn't not allow a mere first officer to draw such problems to the attention of the Captain, and the plane slammed into the ground.    
Broadly speaking, double switching is a special case of redundancy.    Tabletop (talk) 10:31, 2 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Nicaraguan Liberal Alliance

message: Only ALN members, including La Prensa mention the word Pacto. It is subjective. Also, as this is an article about a political party, it should be included that a member of the Board of Directors left the party and the reason as this affects the publics understanding about the political party.
No.  Number one, in Nicaragua everyone knows what el pacto is.  So dont give me that.  It is a common phrase to simbolize the union between Aleman and Ortega.  Number two, citing the reasons for why any one man resign has some room in that man's article, but not in this article.  If you want to write an article about Mauricio, go ahead.  You are simply using Mauricio as a vehicle to say what you want to say, you are not adding a balanced story.  Without Mauricio's background, we dont know if his words are worth mentioning.  For all I know, he could be Aleman's nephew.  Or he could be mad about something.  His position may not be one that is generally held and his comments may be fueled by some other factor, his comments may be false.  Second, you cite a little known paper that has had some known bias in the past.   Thus, before adding comments that are bad for the reputation of an individual (or an organization) we need to check those comments (wikipedia policy) and their sources!  For example, there are many damageble comments going around about Dr. Rizo, but I do not add them because it would brake wikipedia policy. Brusegadi 20:50, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Talk:USS Mackinaw

message: I do not know how to handle this problem. The article quotes its source (DANFS) correctly, but the source itself is not correct or at least is seriously misleading. 
The problem is the line "She went into action against Fort Anderson 18 February, shelling the works at Port Royal until the latter part of April." The link to Port Royal, SC was certainly incorrect. Mackinaw was in the  North Atlantic Blockading Squadron, which operated in the waters off Virginia and North Carolina. Furthermore Port Royal in South Carolina had been captured from the Confederacy in November 1861, so there was no reason for any Union vessel to shell it. So what Port Royal did DANFS mean? I find no record of a Port Royal in the vicinity of Fort Anderson, and in any case the assault on Fort Anderson was not going on until late April. By that time, Mackinaw was a part of the James River Squadron, operating in the rivers of Tidewater Virginia. A town named Port Royal is on the Rappahannock River and could conceivably have been shelled at that time, but it seems to be too insignificant to have attracted attention. It seems not to have been mentioned in any reports of Mackinaw's operations. PKKloeppel (talk) 15:42, 30 July 2023 (UTC)

According to this page, her service history began in 1946, when she became a USN ship. Yet she managed to at least rendezvous with the battleship Scharnhorst at least once while in German service, according to the page on that ship. So apparently there was at least one mission she completed in German service, I'd image a number of others as well. It would be nice if it at least threw in a sentence at the beginning of her "service history" that she "actively served as a tanker vessel for the German Navy during WWII".
