Talk:Bombardier Inc.

message: This Wiki article seems to need updated. Bombardier has undergone quite a few changes in the past several years alone.  The lead section is lacking and the history looks as if its just copied from BRP's page.  I'm pretty new to copy editing, and this is probably beyond my ability to do well.  Any editors that are fans of Bombardier willing to take this on?  I love their aircraft and am very interested how such a once diverse and large company has become so specialized and only builds business jets now. KittyHawkFlyer (talk) 16:55, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

I removed the "stub" tag from this article, because I think it's not brief enough to be considered a stub. It actually has a little bit of detail, which makes it more than a minimalist placeholder. It could of course be expanded with some further details about its contents, and maybe about the scientific discussion about its accuracy, although a lot of that would overlap with content in The Day After Tomorrow. --209.108.217.226 18:06, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Thanks are due to  for the research in newspaper archives, and I've now turned those listed that were in use into wiki-syntax footnotes, so there is not a double referencing system. However, we really need the titles for those articles (preferably also the reporters' names and the page numbers, and I suspect some of them may reference more that they're being used for, but the titles are vital). Unfortunately for me, the Boston Globe archives are locked up tight as a drum and are not available through Google News Archive, and I doubt I'm going to be able to access them via the college whose library I can use. So I'm pinging the editor in case he gets e-mail notifications, and also hoping someone with a subscription will see this and be so kind as to help out. Yngvadottir (talk) 19:45, 3 January 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Mu (negative)

message: @Neo Purgatorio, to clarify my point: The Hacker's Dictionary is certainly published, but being published isn't the only criterion for whether a source is reliable, a judgement that also depends on the nature of the claims. As far as I know, the dictionary was written by two computer scientists, and I am not aware of any input by any trained lexicographers. It is much, much better now that you've  attributed the claim to him, but I still have doubts as to whether Raymond can be considered a reliable source here. Remsense诉 17:51, 3 April 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: I can understand the issues with using Raymond as a source here; I've been trying to find a better source for it. Gödel, Escher, Bach, which is mentioned above the part I re-added, was written by Douglas Hofstadter, who is also a computer scientist. It references "mu" as a response to loaded questions as well, and Raymond states that Hofstadter would agree with the use of "mu" as an answer to the question, but I couldn't find the specific "Have you stopped beating your wife?" text within his book (although, I only did a quick run-through and not a full analysis of it, so I could've just simply missed it.) As Hofstadter's book does generally consider "mu" to be an answer to all loaded questions though, I think the loaded question used there could be used as an example (albeit, with a source change.)

Talk:Richard Walther Darré

message: Is this regarded as credible by historians? If not, reference to it should be removed. The contents seem fantastic and much more likely the work of an English writer than a German one. "Proud Albion"? It was supposedly given May 1940, yet its contents seem to match the situation of late 1940, as the UK saw it, all too well, whereas its forecasts of German activity after that point are wrong.

thread_title:  Secret Nazi Speech 

message: Someone added the information, with no evidence, that Richard's mother Eleanore had Spanish blood. I have deleted this because it contradicts the (unpublished) genealogy I have for her. According to this information her ancestry is as follows:
1. Theodore Erik Lagergren b. 1839 Glömminge, Sweden d. 1873 Buenos Aires, Argentina
1.1 Jonas Peter Lagergren b. 1787 "Kalmar" (probably a misreading of "Kalmar", Sweden)
1.2 Elin Hakansdotter b. 1797 Berga,Resmo (Kalmar county, Sweden)
2. Josefina Margarete Thole, b. 1841 Haselünne, Friesland
2.1 Johann Bernhard Josef Thole, b. 1809 Haselünne, Friesland
2.2 Anna Maria Elisabeth Badde, b. 1800 Cloppenburg, Germany
So she had two Swedish grandparents, one German, and one Dutch (except it was annexed by Napoleonic France at the time). Since her detailed ancestry has no place in this article, we could probably approximate to saying she was half Swedish and half Dutch, based on the birthplace of her parents. Mhkay (talk) 08:32, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Follow-up. Haselünne today is on the German side of the border in Lower Saxony. Borders in that part of the world have changed over the years but I have not been able to find confirmation that it was in Friesland (or the Netherlands) in 1809 or 1841. And in any case, I'm not sure what Wikipedia policy is when the town of birth was in a different country at the time. Mhkay (talk) 08:32, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

*Glad was a fictious legendary person. Like most persons of the Gesta Hungarorum, he was a pure invention. - pls provide reference to a demonstration that Glad was a pure invention -- Criztu 21:50, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text:  (1) The truth is "vice versa". There is no proof that he really existed as the person decribed in the document, and given that other persons have been proovably invented as well, it is only logical to assume that Glad is an invention as well (and not to say "there is no proof that he is an invention" - that would be a quite strange type of reasoning, because as a rule in history one has to proof that something exists and not that something does not exist). (2) Gladovo does not necesarily mean "that belongs to Glad", it only means "place of Glad". (3) The quite obvious point is that Glad could have been anyone at any time: from a god, an animal, a figure from fairy tales to anybody. What Mag. P or his predecessors did (or could have done) is, like in many cases, that he saw that there was some important "Glad" in that region, so he named one of my main "players" after this "Glad".Juro 13:26, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

text: saying "according to GH Gelou Glad and Menomorout were local rulers conquered by the magyars" doesn't mean "Gelou Glad and Menumorout realy existed and the proof is GH", it simply means "Gelou Glad and Menumorout were some characters in a chronicle" (one could affirm in the GH article that "the events and characters described in GH are not confirmed by other chronicles from the same timeframe, or by an archaeological research" -- Criztu 18:34, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Secondly, GLAAD is wikilinked twice within this page, with only one of them being an actual link (Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation.) The other is just an acronym for a LA defense council.

thread_title: Kaula?

message: This statement here does not make sense:
"The islands had been protected since 1909 with a designation as an 'ecosystem reserve' by President Bill Clinton since 2000,"
Were they protected since 1909 or 2000?  (Obviously Clinton didn't make any designation of the islands in 1909, not having been born yet, much less yet been president yet).  I assume they had some sort of protected status from 1909 to 2000, and Clinton changed the status to give them more protection in 2000, but I on't have the necessary facts to make a clarification here.  Anyone know a good way to clarify this statement so it makes sense and is accurate?
I'm trying to clarify it... if the way I did it caused the statement to be inaccurate please correct it, but I'm changing it to "The islands had been protected since 2000 with a designation as an 'ecosystem reserve' by President Bill Clinton."
In 1909 Theodore Roosevelt had declared the islands a national bird sanctuary, and that was the status of protection from 1909 to 2000.  Tried to clarify that; if anyone can find a better way to make the sentence less akward but still accurate please do so.  From 2000 to 2006, it was an ecosystem reserve; from 2006 to the present it is a national park.

message: I am not tagging the article, though it would be great if someone well-versed on the topic worked on it. Most of the article is based on partisan Romanian and Hungarian scholars who are mostly of a low quality. There is also large dependence on other old, largely discredited scholars like Schramm and Georgiev. The theory of the origin north of the Danube is treated as equal with the theory of the origin south of the Danube, though nowadays there is hardly any high-quality, non-partisan linguist specializing in the Paleo-Balkans claiming that the core of the Romanian population originated north of the Danube.
