Talk:1981 Canada Cup

message: I think this article will be expanded in the future the same as the other tournaments in the Canada Cup, but currently it's useless to have just one sentence. Dominykas Blyze 19:47, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirect 

message: This was (still is ?) significant for North American Ice Hockey, but not a way to measure the Soviet Union's Ice Hockey style as of 1981. Whilst the puck usually was shot across the blue line in NHL (& WHA etc), the Soviet's build all their play on extreme interaction. Typically, just before the blue line, the puck was delivered sideways or slightly backward even, just a few feet from the blue line, to a team mate who came from behind with much higher speed. That player then came very close to the goal in a second or two. If he didn't score, or wanted to try at least, he could play it to a third player who scored in a way that made it to look real easy. Well, something like that anyways. Apparently more effective, also on the narrow North American rinks. But it was all built up around the CSKA Moscow team. Which like the National team was coached by Tikhonov. (Before him Tarasov and another Moscow team) After every season, the best players from all other Soviet Union clubs, were invited to play for CSKA Moscow (the Army's team). An honor to most, but for instance Balderis wanted to remain in his (Latvian) Dynamo Riga. If he was forced or persuaded, I don't know. But after he returned to Riga, his time in the National team was finished. Some 300+ days a year the CSKA Moscow players were living, playing and training together. All for the "good cause". That way they learned to "know" where their team mates were at the precise time. Extreme interaction. Sometimes it didn't work (and Czeckoslovakia were able to defeat them some times, but for instance Sweden and Finland rarely had a chance. Not when "the extreme interaction" worked. And this was especially about how to enter offensive zone. 
By the way, during the World Championships in Gothenburg, Sweden, during the spring of this year - 1981, Sweden (the home team, the becoming Silver medalists, the runners-up, the second best team, etc) had 0-0 until the middle of the second period. Final result ? Sweden - Soviet Union 1 - 13 ! Unforgettable ! And one must after all admire them for this way of playing Ice Hockey. Boeing720 (talk) 21:40, 1 January 2018 (UTC)

Nowhere did he ever call for pacifism of apologise for having fought in World War Two.
Or criticise those he saw as fighting for a good cause.
He did claim to be a conscientious objector to avoid being sent to the Korean War.  But I'd assume this was an excuse to avoid a war he strongly objected to.  No one seems to have written this up properly, though it would make a good story.
I write as the youngest of his three children, so I know exactly what he believed.  --GwydionM (talk) 12:19, 27 March 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Western swing

message: I moved this from the text to this location so we can discuss it. This comment is "unreferenced". 
:"This is a remarkable claim that may be exaggerated, if the 10,000 sqft dance floor attributed earlier to the Riverside Rancho was considered noteworthy for its area, a mere 100x100ft. Today's rock and roll concerts, held in mammoth indoor sports stadiums requiring amplification levels not easily attainable in the 1940s, typically accommodate only ten to fifteen thousand attendees." 
You may be correct that this figure is inflated. However, to include a comment such as yours in the article you have to have a reliable, verifiable source for the statement that questions the referenced figure, rather than your opinion.

Talk:Navy E Ribbon

message: The article USS Liberty (AGTR-5) says

and that it was out of service in 1967, decommissioned in 1968, struck in 1970, and sold for scrap in 1973.
The article Navy E Ribbon says it was first established and first awarded in 1976 and only to those "that have won a battle efficiency competition (Battle "E") after July 1, 1974."
Something is clearly wrong here.  The Liberty could not have won a competition after 1974 if it was already scraped.

From what I understand, CNE members are not allowed by law to be from any political party (or signed any petition against Chavez). This would be fine, except that anyone from Chavez's PSUV party is exempted from this rule. There are also allegations, based on statistics, that the CNE packs election stations with pro-Chavez militants, at a higher rate than their actual occurrence in the local populations.

thread_title:  Time 

message: I have removed the nonsense that suggested that the 'erotic gherkin' nickname originally referred to this building rather than to 30 St Mary Axe. The Guardian source  clearly refers to the planned new, lower, 41 floor building that replaced the plans for the Millenium Tower.  There also seems to have been some confusion with an editor misunderstanding what a 'gherkin' is in British English - a whole, pickled baby cucumber. The Guardian was correct; it was the editor who was mistaken.  The shape of a complete gherkin is what has lent St Mary Axe its nickname; nothing to do with the floorplan of the Millenium Tower/dill pickle slices.
:Oh, for heaven's sake - some of us were working property journalists at the time the Millennium Tower plan was launched in 1996. Don't make me go into the loft and dig the clipping out.
