Talk:The world wonders

message: Am I the only one thinking he is a bitch for sulking for an hour before turning around? All while pretending he was refueling ships when he was not.
Note prior is unsigned. He refers to Admiral Halsey. For various reasons Admiral Halsey was Not present at any prior major battles. He was sidelined at Midway due to a skin condition. He was perhaps a little bit glory hungry. Wfoj3 (talk) 19:54, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

message: Was the security padding "the world wonders" or "the whole world wonders". The Second World War by John Keegan, had "the whole world wonders", but on the web "the world wonders" is preferred. It would be nice to cite a reliable source. Gdr 14:17, 2004 Oct 25 (UTC) (P.S. I note that another famous signal survives in two versions: England expects that every man will do his duty.)
:"The world wonders", according to Thomas Cutler's 1994 book, which has three pages on this message (bought it but haven't read it yet). I've heard of Keegan being dinged for errors, maybe this is one of them. Stan 16:22, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Spector's Eagle Against The Sun (1984) has "The world wonders" but the complete message is considerably longer than the one quoted in this article. Geoff/Gsl 21:13, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you type it in? The message in the article is exactly as Cutler reports; curious that the various writers don't agree. Stan 21:27, 25 Oct 2004 (UTC)

message: I deleted the detailed description of this incident from Padding (cryptography), preferring to refer to here.  If there's any information in the section I removed that belongs in this article then restoring it here would be great!  The last edit before my delete was this one:

message: My source says that the double consonants at the front after 'TURKEY TROTS TO WATER' were GG, not RR.  RR were the ones at the end.  Any other references to this?147.240.236.9 22:38, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Great article

message: The battle happened on the anniversary of The Charge of the Light Brigade. In the article of the poem by Tennyson references the padding as possibly inspired by it.   Stardude82 (talk) 22:50, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

message: Encryption cyphers can be defeated when easily guessed common patterns are recognized in the messages.
This statement is misleading or I would even say plain wrong. Bad encryption ciphers can be defeated in this case, i.e. if an encryption cipher can be defeated like this, then it is bad by definition, at least in the modern sense. If an encryption scheme is such that it can be defeated if padding is not used, then padding is its integral part.
Unfortunately, I do not have any specific proposal on how to reword the statement to make it factually correct without diving too much into the theory of cryptography. Kirelagin (talk) 23:25, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
