message: I have just done a round of deletions of names from the Starwood festival page and a few deletions of Starwood mentions on other pages. I also assembled some 3rd-party sources referencing Starwood appearances on the part of many of the subjects who had mentions in their articles and added them. Some include interviews by the subjects discussing these appearances. I also provided links to a couple articles that had only been referred to in the past. (I would not be suprised if I did some of these wrong, in that I may have put links in the body of the text that belonged in the "Reference" section and such, and I welcome anyone changing such errors.) I hope this demonstrates my desire to improve articles and satisfy requests for 3rd-party sources. I have not added to the Starwood Festival page, only subtracted (though I did ask someone to fix a link to a band's page), and though I have added to the Jeff Rosenbaum article it was only to beef it up to avoid its deletion. If it can pass muster, I plan not to edit it any more, and I hope to ask others to handle any direct additions to the Starwood, WinterStar and ACE articles. I  may still make more deletions to them for a while. Rosencomet 21:09, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

It appears therefore that the DVD version of the miniseries has edited out some footage and is shorter than the original television airing. Softlavender (talk) 01:41, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: One cylinder

message: Why is this listed under two-cylinder? The split configuration can have any even number of cylinders - the article lists examples up to 16 cylinders, with various arrangements including inline, V, and radial. The ones with more than one combustion chamber should be called split- twins, split-fours, etc. but they're all presently covered under the split-single article. Since the split design is independent of # of cylinders and arrangement, it would clutter things to refer to every type of split- design engine but it so far has always been two-stroke, so maybe it should be listed as a sub-type of two-stroke, and the article name should be changed to "split-cylinder"?

Talk:Anaconda Smelter Stack

message: Recover from Archive 1:
The chimney flue in Port Pirie, South Australia (for the lead smelter there) is 205m tall (so it's taller than the Anaconda smelter stack) and I remember man who used to work there (during it's construction in the 1970s) saying that it was built entirely out of bricks. But I'll have to find some hard evidence for that. The base of the stack is housed inside a shed, so I don't know if that makes it free standing or not.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Pez17 (talk • contribs) 01:34, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Francesco Lana de Terzi

message: Also in his book Prodromo, there's a chapter entitled the way in which the blind can learn to write, but also by a cipher and the understanding of it, the answers in the same ciphers can hide secrets: Franceso Lana de Terzi considered different possibilities, for example a cord or an attached writing, as well as a cryptogram. This cryptogram would consist of a flat writing, with which the letters would be translated into a system of lines and points. These lines and points would be tactile, since they show raised structures on the paper. It recommended beyond that that blind people, if they wanted to write the writing of the sighted, to use strings or wires, so that they could keep the lines. Thus he is the inventor of the “hand leaders”, that are used this very day - if in modified form -, if a blind individual writes a short report for the sighted or a signature upon delivery.

Talk:Alessandro Achillini

message: The Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani (online version; I don't know how to access the book if there is one) has October 20. It lists several authorities, although I don't know if they related to the date. Italian WP (and others) also has the 20th, but without a specific reference. Matsen 1974, the main English-language book, and Britannica, have October 29.  suggested this could be due to an O.S./N.S. difference, although that is speculation. The Gregorian calendar was introduced in Italy in 1582 (over a hundred years later) but it is true that if you project backwards, the difference in the 15th century would be 9 days. I don't know if doing this retrospective change is at all common. Matsen has a footnote, but I can't see it online. Hence the dodge in the article. David Brooks (talk) 18:48, 1 December 2016 (UTC)

message: im not a historian or anything, but i bet those "unfounded accusations" of piracy by the dutch aren't as unfounded as you might think.
From what I can tell theres a long history of drawing inspiration from the rest of the islamic world in Aceh and it said in this page that they would hostagetake after conquering. It sounds extremley similar to the barbary states, which operated on kidnapping, enslaving, and ransoming christians as the basis of thier economies. I bet that if someone did some digging, they might be able to find evidence supporting the dutch's claims.
Not that im saying that justifies what the dutch did ofc. They wouldn'ta ever been a country if not for king Philip being distracted by the islamic empire in the medditeranean, not to mention they used privateers of thier own. fuckers. 72.89.63.130 (talk) 17:12, 14 May 2023 (UTC)
