Talk:Jean Baptiste Eugène Estienne

message: This phrase appears in para 1 of the 'First World War' section: "he imagined mobile personnel shields". In this context, what is meant by "imagined"?... "Designed", "invented", or something completely different. Whatever it is, I don't think "imagined" is the right word.

thread_title: Wrong choice

message: His name was not Jean-Baptiste. His full names were Jean Baptiste Eugène, with no hyphen. He did not like the name Baptiste, and normally signed himself J.E. Estienne. (Source: Le Général J.B.E. Estienne, "pere des chars". Des chenilles et des ailes Pub. Harmattam, 2010. Author: Arlette Estienne Mondet, his granddaughter)
Estienne did not become aware of the British Tank project in December 1915. The British informed the French of their progress in June 1916, following which Estienne visited England.
He was not appointed Head of Recruitment in 1916. This might be confusion with his being responsible for recruitment to the Military Aviation School at Vincennes before the War. Estienne was involved in the development of the Schneider, but had to divide his time between that and serving at the Front with his Artillery Regiment. Attempts were made to sideline him by other Army departments.
At their first meeting Estienne did not ask Louis Renault to build light Tanks. He asked him to become involved with his own plans for what was to be the Schneider.
General Mourret's name is spelt with 2 r's.

thread_title:  Central Jiangsu Campaign 

message: Although there is no link provided, I believe this refers to the campaign that took place in the region of central Su (苏中). The campaign is titled "Seven Victories from Seven Battles in Central Su" (苏中七战七捷）。
This is, in fact, considered as one of the most successful campaign commanded by Su Yu, who was, back to the time, the commander of the First Division (N1D) of the New Forth Army (N4A) (新四军第一师师长）。
I have links of this topic, but all of them are in Chinese. You may refer to Google if interested.

Talk:Alexander von Falkenhausen

message: The article states that von Falkenhausen was sentenced to 12 years and then acquitted 3 weeks into fulfilling his sentence. If he was sentenced, he wasn't acquitted. The sentence was reversed or commuted.
Also, there is IIRC a semi-famous story that when he was released, von Falkenhausen left an angry note criticizing the Belgians for imprisoning him after he had done so much to try to save them from Nazi depredations.  This seems like something worth including if it can be properly sourced.  Airbornelawyer 07:09, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sentence

message: The article states that General Alexander von Falkenhausen was married twice and neither wife bore him any children.
I assume, therefore, that the Alexander von Falkenhausen who raced motorcycles and automobiles and who worked as an engineer for BMW from 1934 to 1945 and again from 1954 to 1976, would be a cousin or nephew of his.  How likely would it be to have two unrelated von Falkenhausen noble families?

Compare that to Elting's description of Kilmaine in Swords Around a Throne which describes him as cold, sluggish, cautious, a looter, and has a quote of Napoleon complaining about Kilmaine.

Talk:Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra

message: This article spends a lot of time pointing out how great the symphony is, and in particular how the various conductors led it on an continuous path of greatness.  I love the PSO, and happen to think they are one of our great symphonies, but the article comes off as biased, and there's no need to harp on the point like it does.  One example of more objective info that could be added is a mention of the circumstances of Janson's departure.  I'm not a PSO expert, but his 6-year tenure was on the short side, and I believe I remember reading in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that one reason for his departure was that he wasn't crazy about Pittsburgh audiences (although I may be confusing that with something resident conductor Ed Cumming once said). Gsteff
:I have done some rewriting to try to clean up the excesses of the prior version. I have left out discussions of the conservatism of the community and specifically the Symphony Board, since I think that could get too POV for some, but the fact is that music directors for decades have fought repertory battles with the board. I believe this is a large part of why Andre Previn left. Anybody who can confirm such information, please do so! --Wspencer11 (talk to me...) 14:01, 11 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: According to the article Jansons served for 7 (or 8? merely naming beginning and ending years does not discern the number of years actually worked).  Seven or eight years is not usually "short" as Symphony Directors go (e.g., Victor Herbert served the PSO for 6 (or 7?) years).  The point in the article that the orchestra was disbanded for 16 (or 17?) years in 1910 - 1926 due to lack of money was new to me (born in Pittsburgh in 1953), and very interesting and important in my opinion.  Overall, I think the article is a very good start.  Penn Hackney 65.160.58.75 23:03, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Antoine Charles Louis de Lasalle

message: How sure are we that this is the "General LaSalle" that Poe refers to in "The Pit and the Pendulum"? I'm not familiar with this historical figure, but the article does not mention the Spanish Inquisition or Toledo, which is heavily important in Poe's story. Not saying this reference is false, but I'm suspicious especially because of the spelling difference. But, what do I know?

#was not too concerned about checking his/her facts against other articles, let alone outside sources.
Yet I continue to edit. If I make the article readable, it should be easier to do a fact check.

message: Priding myself on knowing these kind of things, I too was intrigued by the what/where the Vadrozone might be, and Google came up with this, from 1851:
 Mullié, C. (1851) Biographie des célébrités militaires des armées de terre et de mer: de 1789 à 1850, Volume 2 (Google eBook). Poignavant. BTW, without having made an exhaustive check, it would seem that that particular paragraph was lifted as-is from the book... 
Googling on, I came across this great gem:  Chevreau, Urbain (1717) Histoire du monde (3. ed. Revue, corrigee et augmentee etc.) (Google eBook). Hilaire Foucault, which would have placed our hero in the region of Bothrys. --Technopat (talk) 23:22, 20 August 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Louis-François Lejeune

message: I removed 
: pronounced LUH JERN
from the top, and 
:  (pronounced Luh-JERN)
from the bottom, of the accompanying article. Besides their differing, i believe there is no English-J sound in French (French J is like English Zh, as in meaSure or Russian Zhukov), so presumably neither is correct.     They may be close as to the -eune part, since i understand Camp Lejeune, after a decade or two of neglect via "le-june" or "le-zhune", is reviving a distinctly if not explicitly R-ish sound just before the N. (I'm hedging bcz i doubt they expect recruits to acquire the proper French pronunciation, as opposed to getting far enuf from Dumb-American, in the direction of French, to be noticed. And bcz i suspect linguists regard any similar French R-ishness as being as much part of the vowel as the nasalization at the end of French bon is part of the vowel sound. That would contrast to the R in Burns being treated -- by at least non-linguist Americans -- as one of a string of consonants that only start once the vowel is done.)    When what is to be communicated gets sorted out, the information goes inside the same parentheses as his vital stats, IIRC; MOS:BIO should be authoritative as to the details.--Jerzy•t 07:27, 10 August 2010 (UTC)
