Talk:River monitor

message: I keep seeing references to United States "brown water" Naval vessels in the Vietnam Conflict as monitors in Wikipedia articles. They do not fit the traditional monitor definition by my studies (or more importantly the Wikipedia article on monitors) and I have never seen them referred to as monitors in any published text. Can someone please provide a reference for this idea; otherwise I think it is misleading and ambiguous to compare the vessels. I acknowledge the similar role, but part of what distinguished a monitor were some physical characteristics that these brown water boats didn't have to the best of my knowledge.Zurel Darrillian (talk) 13:23, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Vietnam Conflict River Monitors

message: Nothing resembling charateristics, numbers built, or even what they were used for. I know off the top of my head more than this article states; That they were used ISO rivierine assaults by US Army infantry both to provide the sodliers with heavy firepower (in place of tanks, which couldn't access the islands were Veit Cong and NVA bases were located) and to land them. (Scource: Book "River Rats", collected essays from Rivine Force memebers in Viet Nam.)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.246.120.188 (talk) 22:08, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Utterly useless article

message: First line: "River monitors were heavily armored...". And from the second paragraph: "Most river monitors were lightly armoured...". I am confused. Are they armoured or armored, and heavily or lightly? I will admit that this contradiction is probably the least of a dozen problems with this article, but I have no knowledge about this topic. --Unedel (talk) 09:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Heavily armoured or not? 

message: If we are going to include the Lord Clive class in the lede as an extreme example of a river monitor, why not include the Nelson-class battleships in the definition of a destroyer? After all, they both had guns and torpedo tubes. The Lord Clives were cheaply built with one main purpose, to bombard the occupied Belgian coast from its relatively shallow waters. They were never intended to carry out operations up a river or estuary.
The previous layout of the lede of the Monitor article included the Lord Clives followed by a link to this article as if they were similar, but they just aren't. Maybe someone extrapolated rather too hard. MinorProphet (talk) 02:55, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  The Lord Clive class were river monitors? I think not.
Talk:Milk Tray

message: Am I alone in thinking the Milk Tray Man deserves his own page? I'd say Milk Tray Man was of much greater significance than the chocolates. --Joeboy (talk) 14:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure where we could find a reliable website that would say that the man in the ads was meant to be a James Bond-like person. Most of the references are on blogs and the like.
The references I can find on generally 'reliable' sites are shown below (all bold statements are formatted by me!):
* Cadbury's own website mention it (but I'm not sure if they can be used as a source, as they are the makers of the product):
(Cadbury Milk Tray, Flake and Crunchie)
(Cadbury Advertising in the 1970s
* Brand Republic, who carry information about  the UK marketing, media and communications industries, say this:
(Cadbury denies the demise of Milk Tray's Man in Black)
* UK's Channel 4 TV also consider it to be a play on James Bond:
(Vintage Chocolate Adverts)
I don't know if any of these would count as being sufficient citations for the statement? I think anyone who has seen it knows that it's a James Bond-like figure - but obviously, not everyone reading this article would have seen it! PhantomSteve (Contact Me, My Contribs) 17:41, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Talk:List of Bionic Woman (2007 TV series) episodes

message: I took out the 2008 date from the listing for episode 9. I'm seeing mixed messages as to whether it might air before Christmas, will air in 2008, or might never air due to cancellation. Best to just leave it as TBA until an announcement is made. An unreferenced tag was added to the article, possibly by a bot. I've taken it out because on checking a number of other similar list articles no references have been requested or needed as the episodes themselves are the references.

message: You have come here because I removed a purge tag, and are probably wondering why. The purge function, available in the Mediawiki software, allows the software to serve a completely fresh page to the user, and not deliver it from the cache. This causes a full re-rendering of the Wikitext, et cetera. Sometimes, people put it on category pages as a "refresh" of sorts. For anonymous users, this does indeed update the category listing. For logged in users, it does not. Categories will update for logged-in users simply by refreshing. If it is not, that is because the job queue has not yet updated, and purging will not speed that up. Thanks, and have a great day. ^demon[omg plz] 14:37, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sometimes I view categories as an anon.  It is easier to click the purge link, rather than URL it in. Stack it up to ease of use.  Nathan 14:41, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: But by and large maintenence categories aren't viewed by anons, mostly by logged in users. "Purge" puts a heavier load on the server than refreshing and reloading most of the page from cache. ^demon[omg plz] 14:42, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not worried about load on the server in this context.  We don't have to worry about that.  Let us make it easier for me, since there is not another compelling reason. You can pasts this to CAT talk if need be. Nathan 14:44, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Wine regions of Germany

message: Germany has 13 Wine regions that are listed here: German_wine#Regions.
Quality wine is rated wine depending on quality standards and the oechsle scale. while there are other regions where wine is growing and wine is made, is is NOT quality wine, its landwein - however this is translated; it is the lowest end of the scale or in other words it is more of a vinegar.
This list is not an enumeration of areas where one or two farmers have some vines in the dirt, it is a list of regions that have a history and a culture of growing wine and should therefore not be diluted.
Personally i think it should be a list with the 13 known wine growing regions that are easy to  identificate by a (region) or maybe (winegrowing region) behind its names and the routes like sächsische weinstrasse (should be translated into saxony (?) wine route) that traverse these areas.
All other areas where vine is growing should fit into another category (if its needed) where it is clearly noticeable that they don`t fulfill the standards for being a (quality) wine growing area. Palatinate (talk) 16:03, 29 November 2007 (UTC)
