Talk:Opinion polling by state for the United States presidential election, 2008

message: Just so you know, I am adding the polls in backwards chronological order.  I will probably also add electoral college projections for each head-to-head matchup, eventually.  I would love to represent these graphically (red/blue maps), but I don't know how, so I would love it if someone could help with that.  I am not including polls of candidates who are not in the race (i.e., Al Gore), mostly because I don't see the point and I don't have time.Doktorliability (talk) 04:05, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Di (Five Barbarians)

message: The Di people play a part in the early account of the xiongnu or Huns. I think it should stay. Some very oratorical and highly enthusiastic prose on the topic has been commented out. Despite its non-encyclopedic style it probably covers much of the material that should be covered, which indicates a clean-up should be undertaken rather than starting over. First and foremost I think we should work from an outline. Just to work that up is a pretty good task for a research paper (not original research). Who would like to do a term paper or a mini-thesis here? The author of the commented-out material I believe has done some other articles on China- or China-related subjects but they all appear to be short on citations and written in the same sprawling style, which I would say is a cross between essay and poetry. In short, it needs to be encyclopedic with plenty of footnotes giving books and articles. Lots of those are reviewable on Google and on educational sites. I think articles on the history of China are a good idea. We westerners need some balance; not everything is Greece and Rome.Dave (talk) 12:09, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Harlingen, Friesland

message: The Wiki page of Harlingen, Texas doesn't quote Frisian immigration as a reason for naming the city after Harlingen, the Netherlands. On the contrary, it gives another reason, the vision of the founder of the city: "Harlingen's strategic location at the intersection of U.S. highways 77 and 83 in northwestern Cameron County fostered its development as a distribution, shipping, and industrial center. In 1904 Lon C. Hill envisioned the Arroyo Colorado as a commercial waterway. He named the town he founded on the north bank after the city of Harlingen, Netherlands."
The sentence about Harlingen, Texas in this article is therefore suspect, especially as no source is quoted.

Talk:Owasco-class cutter

message: Regarding this text:
Rationale
Myths have long shadowed the design history of the  class. These cutters were to have been much larger ships, and two theories persist as to why they were shortened. The first is that they were built to replace the ships given to Great Britain under lend-lease, and Congress stipulated that the Coast Guard had to build these replacement cutters to the same size and character as those provided to the British. The second is that their length was determined by the maximum length that could pass through the locks of the Welland Canal from the Great Lakes to the St. Lawrence River. The Great Lakes shipbuilding industry brought pressure on Congress to ensure that it had the potential to bid on the contract. The first theory seems to be correct, but the second cannot be ruled out. 
However, the Welland Canal article does not agree that 255 (78m) feet is the maximum vessel length for the Welland Canal. In fact, it says of the present fourth canal, which was completed in 1932: "The maximum permissible length of a ship in this canal is 225.5 metres (740 feet)." 
I am curious about this issue because the Safeguard-class rescue salvage ships, which were also built on the Great Lakes, are also 255 feet in length. -- Pamcwill (talk) 06:10, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Talk:USS Terrell County

message: The ship's name is given as HNS Inouse on some websites, for example, the NavSource Online website.  However, the Hellenic Navy website and others write it as Oinoussai.  It presumably had a name made up of Greek letters, so either phonetic spelling is valid.  However I have changed the name in the article to Oinoussai, with a note in the infobox that it is sometimes written Inouse on the grounds that it was the Hellenic Navy's ship, so their opinion of the English spelling is the more definitive one.  Also Oinoussai seems to be an alternative name for Oinousses (e.g. ), whilst there is no Greek island or archipelago spellt anything like Inhouse. The other Greek Terrebonne Parish-class LST (the former USS Whitfield County) was named after the island of Kos. Jll (talk) 23:10, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

message: User Mrsecurity39 392, whose account is newly created and only contributions are few, twice removed Dybo (2007)'s proposed Iranian etymology for the Xiongnu ruling clan (transcribed by Chinese as 攣鞮 *r(h)wan-de > Luandi) (notwithstanding Dybo's implied opinion the Xiongnu spoke a Turkic language). Their reasons are:
*"https://kpfu.ru/portal/docs /F230999094/01.pdf Is the source used but neither in this PDF nor in any other of Anno Dybo her Turkic studies does anything of this subject come up. Therefore the text isn't sourced and an unrelated source has been put in place" 1
*"I shall repeat it once again the source of Anno Dybo doesn't mention anything on the subject of the r(h) wan-de. Her source is a source on TURKIC language comparison, its a source on proto Turkic Reconstruction nothing to do with the Xiongnu as you can see from page 6 to 9." 2
On page 9 of the pdf of Dybo's (2007) "Early Contacts of Turks and Problems Of Proto-Turkic reconstruction", Dybo clearly wrote:
If Mrsecurity39 392 can read Chinese at all, they would have known that 攣鞮 was Han Chinese transcription for the name of the ruling clan of the Xiongnu chanyu:

message: Looking over my 2003 copy of Famous Women from The I Tatti Renaisssance Library of Virgiria Brown's translation on page 129 it says about the shrine consecrated to Pudicitia Patricia pertaining to dating (which is a little confussing),
:: During the fifth consulate of Quintus Fabius and the fourth of Publiyus Decius Mus, the Senate decreed that supplication should be made in this shrine, as in  other temples, to avert certain divine portents.
It then goes on to explain that Virginia and other women came to the shrine for that purpose. That's when a quarrel broke out. Virginia was removed by the patrician ladies because she was the wife of Lucius Volumnius, a plebeian who had, however, been consul the previous year.
