message: If this weapon was just a more like a glove I would say it was the ultimate weapon! They should've made the armor go right around the hand so his hand would not have been cut off, if I could I would personally buy 2 of them if I knew the price! I say that this is the best because you need no sword skill and the weapon can't be disarmed, if armor went right around the hand and wrist, then just normal armor on the arms and etc. however, sonce they didn't make it like a glove someone weilding this, could use a gun or 4 swords all at once!
The problem with this weapon is that the wrists are inflexible. Therefore you cannot easily fence or easily defend yourself. 145.253.108.22 14:39, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 

message: Hi there! I'm new, and i made an account to point out a few issues with this page, namely:
1. There is mention of the pata being a thrusting weapon but the page the citation links to doesn't mention that.
2. Citation number 2 leads to a life insurance site with nothing to do with swords.
3. There needs to be a citation after the line: "Alternatively, a single pata was used in addition to a belt, javelin, or axe in the other hand."
4. Where did citation 1 get its info from? The Wikipedia article states in one part that it's a cavalry weapon, another states that it's effective against cavalry, and it is said to have been dual wielded. If it was dual wielded, how in the world would the cavalrymen have rode their horse?
I'm not an expert or anything, but these just seemed like things I needed to point out.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Groudon466 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:Human development

message: Copied from Talk:Human development (biology):
:It seems to me that anyone who would propose or support a suggested merge of Human development (biology) into Human development is not aware that Human development is also a psychological field by the same name. Biological human development simply cannot have the name all to itself. I just Googled "Department of human development" which found 180,000 pages, and ALL of the top ten pages refer to the psychological study of human development. There needs to be more than simply a redirect of Human development (psychology) to Developmental psychology. -DoctorW 17:37, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The person who placed the proposed merge tag in June never commented! (Neither has anyone else.) I'm going to remove the tag. I believe that the existence of a disambiguation page in this case is non-negotiable anyway (see my comments immediately above). The psychological study of "human development" (known by that name as well as by the name "developmental psychology") cannot be ignored. Academic departments named "Human Development" refer to the psychological study. It has its own identity, and a very significant presence. Wikipedia has no choice but to acknowledge it. -DoctorW 03:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pylaros

message: Am I the only person who has a problem with the fact that the article is called "Pylaris", but that every subsequent mention of the word is spelled "Pylaros"?

I think perhaps it should be clarified in the article if this is the case.CharacterZero 02:53, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Nuclear freeze

message: I was active in the Nuclear Freeze movement, and there was NO KGB involvement.  Randall Foresberg was a brillant analyst whose idea was supported by many military people, retired generals.  The Freeze actually came within one vote of winning endorsement from the House of Representatives; I believe that was in 1983, just before Reagan invented SDI.
--Joan Slonczewski  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.28.12.192 (talk) 17:40, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

message: After the fall of the Soviet Union, several former agents of the KGB revealed to the Western press that the KGB had financed many of the U.S. and European groups advocating the freeze.[citation needed] The KGB operation was known as Operation RYAN (Raketno Yadernnoe Napadenie).
I deleted this comment as it was unverifiable, and unnecessary.  There was never any proof that the KGB infilrated and supported the freeze movement any more than other spying efforts pursued by the KGB- or the CIA for that matter- in American actions.  First-hand accounts of the drafting and development of the freeze movement make it clear that KGB involvement would be ridiculous: since anything that couldn't be verified would be frozen, and since Reagan defense officials said before Congress that they would not want to switch arsenals with the Soivets, a freeze would've left the Soviets in a position of inferiority.  Why would the KGB pursue that? --Trueslicky 05:38, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Apple II peripheral cards

message: I'd like to establish a constant template for each of these card pages.  Please use the Apple II serial cards article as the template when you dive into an unopened wikilink.
* Start with a brief paragraph describing the type of card / category
* create sections with the names of cards which will have descriptions - alphebetize these
* follow the name of the card with "ndash&" for a hyphen and then the manufacturer
* don't link the manufacturer in the section name, instead link in the paragraph description
* cards that you know exist, but don't have descriptions, put them under the "Other xxxx Cards" section - alphebetize these
* finish off with a "see also" section and include Apple II peripheral cards as the first listing
* don't get crazy with external links, only include them if they're specifically appropriate
* include a double bracketed "Category: Apple II family" tag at the end of your editing
* Insert the following text into the card's discussion page: "This article is a sub-page of the Apple II peripheral cards project.  Please see Talk:Apple II peripheral cards for an outline before editing this page."
Also, for now, I'd like to keep all cards within the sub pages, thus its easier to keep track of all of the cards and individual card pages won't be speedy deleted for "non-notability".  If a sub page gets too large (particularly the Apple II miscellaneous cards, we can create new, more focused categories, however we don't want too many red-linked categories early on.
If for some reason a sub-page needs to be renamed, please first note the "what links here" link under "toolbox" and make sure that appropriate changes are made.  Early on, there wont be much.  A redirect wouldn't be a bad idea either. 
If you're going to be working on something for a while, please insert and save an appropriate Wikipedia:Template messages/Maintenance at the top of the article, so someone else doesn't do work in parallel and get overwritten.  Remember don't forget to remove the template when done.
If you need editing assistance start at Wikipedia Help. 
Thanks and please comment on how we can improve this, we just need to apply changes globally across all the categories for consistency.  This is just a start.  --PZ 23:23, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Pecking order

thread_title: Wikipedia needs a new article

message: Anybody who has lived in proximity with chickens knows that "pecking order" has most to do with the fact that if one chicken develops an illness or even a small sore spot on its body (perhaps from being pecked on the head by another chicken in a food issue), that "defective" chicken immediately becomes the target of pecking by the flock. Eventually the flock pecks the poor injured chicken to its untimely death.
Not coincidentally, humans exhibit similar character. For example, when a group of children sense one child who is weaker in some way, the group sets about targeting the "weak" child by harrassing, bullying, and even physically attacking. Likewise, members of a work unit or organization are known to "peck" a member who is sensed as having a weakness.
:Animals with a weakness are especially picked on, possibly as a way of killing them before they can spread disease or saving resources since they will still eat though being unlikely to breed. Regardless of this, the concept of pecking order stands firm and there is no incorrect definition. Pecking order is an important behaviour in the social order of chickens, and anyone who has seen how chickens interact will be perfectly aware that they peck other chickens regardless of their health.

Talk:Balša I

message: According to a forum on ezboards.com, which is actually pretty convincing, some are saying that Balša I is a Serb and some are saying, he is an Albanian. I believe he's Albanian because of his name. The name Balša sounds Albanian to me and not Serbian or Slavic, even though Balša I can read and write in Serbian, fought Albanians, and made alliances with Serbs.  CrnaGora | Talk 07:00, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually - that is a Vlach name and the family is among the serbianized vlachs. The wholesome Montenegrin population is made of Serbs and greatly serbianized Vlachs (and Albanians, to an extent). --HolyRomanEmperor 16:29, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Balsa would come, according to Serbian name-shortening tradition, from Baltazar. Nikola -> Niksa, Milos/Milomir -> Misa, thus the Catholic-Serb name "Baltazar" (a la Baltazar Bogisic) was shortened to the nickname "Balsa". Albanians attempting to claim a medieval lord who spoke Serbian, fought for Serbian interests and began a dynasty that went on to defend Serbian Orthodoxy in Montenegro is peculiar and can only speak to a possible lack of Albanian historical figures.

message: The major source for this article, Sailendra Nath Sen, mentions that Ptolemy had known about Salankayanas and that Benagouron refers to Vengipura. This seems erroneous to me.

Talk:Agios Nikolaos, Crete

message: This article is quite short. For such a nice place, a few more words could be added. The article could certainly be expanded.
1. Is it Agios Nikolaos or Aghios Nikolaos? I'd like to know when the second spelling was accepted. γι in Greek is spelled gi in English (ghi is the equivalent in Italian which is not the language this article is written in). While in Crete, I never saw the second spelling even once from Xaniá to Vai, Triopetra and Ierapetra.
2. I do not understand why there is an archive for this talk page. There are only two entries, one without title and a titled one which sounds only like childish bickering.

message: I redirected this to The Order of the Stick.  There was just as much information about Xykon in that article.  If we started creating articles for individual webcomics characters, it would be totally impossible to keep them all properly maintained.

replies: text: I realise that this is responding to an eight month old post, but Xykon's page is a breakaway article from "Characters of the Order of the Stick", which is itself a breakaway article from "The Order of the Stick". The characters have enough information about them to warrent their own pages, and if the pages were to be merged, it would far exeed the recomended page size. (Justyn 05:46, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: To be fair, originally the articles were much shorter than they are now, so, at the time, it was a pretty good call.  It's only now, since they've been expanded over time as new information has come to light, that we've started giving characters their own pages again, largely because the Character List page was indeed way over the recommended page size.  --Tailkinker 08:44, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Command & Conquer (1995 video game)

I don't recall the game itself providing any dates nor that the campaign spans three years and no source for this particular information is given (if it does and I always missed them - shame on me). Where do these dates come from? And no, I'm not saying that they can't possibly be correct, I'd like to see confirmation for this, though, and if the dates were retroactively defined by one of the sequels or a novelization (which are very rarely canonical) I think that should be mentioned explicitly (like "the novel xxxxx sets the events depicted in the game in the years ranging from 1999 until 2002" or something like that). --F4LL0UT (talk) 15:20, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
