Talk:Marketing warfare strategies

message: This section is factually wrong, e.g the smaller Greek unit was not the cohort but the lochos, and they were not all arms combined arms units. If anything it is the pre-Marian reform Roman legion which is the all arms force.see Combined_arms#Ancient_warfare. However the Legion could be all arms because there were 5000 of them not 100. And a cohort was not 100 but something more like 480 or 6 centuries ,and a century was not a 100 men unit but 80.
However I have refrained from editing this article, because the writers of this article may be acurately quoting from a source book or group who rather than try and get the facts right, has opted for big (but wrong) comparisons between military history and marketing. If this is true, given the number of fellow military geeks on wikipedia, I suggest that someone put a lock on this article, and make it clear that you know that these facts are wrong, but that was what it was those espousing marketing war strategies that got the facts wrong, and provide the references of those sources.Koonan the almost civilised 10:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Speargun

message: I object to Spearguns being classified as a firearm. While they can be used as weapons, they are not firearms as currently defined by the Wikipedia article on Firearms i.e "A firearm is a device that can be used as a weapon that fires either single or multiple projectiles propelled at high velocity by the gases produced through rapid, confined burning of a propellant. " I know of no such speargun using this method of propulsion, the vast majrity being powered by tensioned rubber or the expansion of compressed gas. In addition, while there could be or may have once been an experimental speargun using "rapid, confined burning of a propellant" it hardly warrants classifying the speargun with a term rife with connotations of war and criminal behaviour instead of as a respectable item of sports equipment, Yes, a speargun can be used as weapon, but so can a tennis racquet in the wrong hands.

message: I have opened a debate on the use of source code and other examples in Wikipedia articles.

thread_title:  Expanding this article 

message: Overall the page is very thorough and well researched. Everything included has been cited but most of the citations are from Northwestern, so it could be beneficial to include a few more that are from a third party. Another nit-picky thing would be to make the alumni list more uniform, so either include a link to some of their work for everyone or no one. One more idea would be to put more detail into the majors and programs offered, so describe more of what types of classes are in each department and what the students are learning about, and maybe degree requirements. I think expanding that section would give a better picture of the academics within SoC. Those are just ideas but the page looks really good and definitely remains neutral and follows all of the Wikipedia guidelines which is great! It's very informative and you can see all the work you guys put in, great job! Allegramunoz (talk) 19:33, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

message: I have removed the following text from the article:
:The concept and original patents were issued to the Macfarlane engineering company of Cathcart, Scotland.  They were licensed to Metropolitan-Vickers and there was a cross licence or some form of agreement with GE USA who patented almost to the day the 'Amplidyne' which works the same way (the difference is simply in the amount of compensation that is made for armature reaction).  Macfarlane used the concept in two main applications: constant current for electric welders and, in Amplidyne form, for alternator voltage and current control.
which had the following hidden comment:
:(I am a former employee as an apprentice. My details are sketchy. There is nothing wrong with the original form. I am just adding two other and actually more important players in the development.) 
They are unsourced, and according to Tustin (1952), Macfarlane developed the Magnicon, which was different in construction to the Metadyne, as it had four poles on the armature, and GE obtained their own patents because the Amplidyne was different to the Metadyne.

Talk:Hold the Line

message: The article mentions that Hold the Line featured on the soundrack to Click (USA, 2006). I've never seen Click but I swear I remember hearing this song in a 1980s film.

message: It is one of the special episodes featuring a guest appearance with Uncle Pecos and his music were performed (uncredited) by Shug Fisher. Don’t understand the context that makes this “one of the special episodes”? That suggests a set of “specials”, which would surely require a link to a page explaining how and why these specials were made?
It’s the only cartoon with Uncle Pecos in it, as far as I know, so it can’t be that there are a set of episodes with him; the change in tense also makes it very hard to parse the meaning of the sentence.Jock123 (talk) 22:23, 27 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Murray Weideman

message: The statement about Weideman in the 1958 grandfinal "Weideman's deliberate and continuous intimidation of his star Melbourne opponent Ron Barassi was a major factor in the Magpies eking out an unexpected three goal win." is unsourced, and sounds partisan. It is clearly in part in error. In fact Weideman's opponent was Don Williams, not Barassi. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1958_VFL_Grand_Final)  
Weideman played centre-half-forward whereas Barassi was a ruck-rover, so they would have mostly been on different parts of the ground. (Players kept to position far more in those days.) 
Also the Magpies did not "eke out a win" . They were 5 goals up at three-quarter time (a very big margin in those days, and on a wet ground), and won by three goals. 
Claims that the Magpies physically intimidated their opponents in this game are not new, but it is unclear how large a part this played in the reversal of the result in the second semi-final, two weeks earlier, when Melbourne easily beat the Magpies on a dry ground. Such claims should be backed by sources, including the reports on this game by the football writers in the major Melbourne newspapers
Accordingly I have significantly changed the sentence, but would not oppose the restoration of its claims if good evidence for them can be offered. Marcasella (talk) 15:31, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

I am not sure whether this is the same Seventh Army that fought in Finnland in December 1940. The Sixty-Fourth Army was one of the three reserve armies , with Sixty-Second and Sixty-Third, that made up the new Stalingrad front in July 1942 (Ballamy, op. cit. p 501). Ballamy writes that on 30 December 1942 "the three Stalingrad front armies - Sixty-Second,..., Sixty -Fourth and Fifty-Seventh, were transferred to Rokossovskiy's Don Front".

message: I've just finished reading Mission to Tashkent (Jonathan Cape, London 1946). According to p. 209 Bailey didn't join the Cheka, but the counter-espionage service of the general staff called in Russian "War Control" (Voinye Kontrol). This had been a branch of the Cheka, but had just been separated. His assignment wasn't to find himself. According to p. 212 the government was perturbed by rumours that British officers were in Bokhara - still independent at that time - drilling and organizing the Bokharan army. It turned out that these British officers were two N.C.O.s, who had accompanied Bailey on the first part of his trip.
I doubt whether Bailey could have been a national hero immediately after his return. After all he wasn't allowed to publish his account till after WWII.213.61.190.202 (talk) 13:55, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
