Talk:USS Concord (CL-10)

message: My husband was on the USS Concord for most of WWII. He said they had received seven (7) battle stars on just one. I believe who ever typed this into the article may have been a young person  and looked at the page as a one and not the way a seven use to be made. ````  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.36.200.85 (talk) 03:37, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Number of Battle Stars 

message: I was reading the article concerning the USS Concord and its history from the start of World War II. This was my Father's ship; his name was William B. Evans and he was Chief Petty Officer aboard the Concord from 1939 thru I believe August of 1945. The article says that at the time of the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the entrance of the United States into the war, the Concord was stationed in San Diego. This is incorrect. As of Dec. 6, 1941, the Concord had received its orders to head back to San Diego for an overhaul. The night of Dec. 6, the ship pulled out of Pear Harbor and anchored just off Diamond Head readied to head back to the states the next morning. The ship and crew were awakened the next morning as many were with the Japanese planes coming across and into the harbor the morning of Dec. 7th...They were not attacked by the Japanese but following the attack the ship was ordered back into the harbor to 'pick up' a civilian ship and to escort them back to the states... this they did, circling the civilian ship all the way to the west coast with only one large gun aboard the ship, as the Concord was only at the time a "light cruiser" and had been being used before the war as a cargo ship for the Navy. Once back to the U.S. Mainland, the ship was taken in for over haul and also refitted as a fighting ship and was then sent to guard the Panama Canal. The rest of the article as I see it is fairly correct, i.e. the part about Admiral Bird, and it spent a lot of time in the Allution Islands during the war. I would much appreciate if someone who knows how to edit to please add this to the article...If you need more specifics I have them - Penny L.

Talk:USS Columbia (C-12)

message: There appears to be an error in the "Service history" section if I am reading this right. The content states:
*"Reclassified CA-16, 17 July 1920, she was renamed Old Columbia 17 November 1921, struck 21 June 1922 and sold 26 January 1922.". I am not sure that the Navy would sell a ship before it is stricken from the records, but I could be mistaken, and in any case the timeline would still be backward.

Talk:USS Montgomery (C-9)

message: The link to the commander of the ship at its commissioning leads to a Charles W. Davis (1917-1991) who was born twenty-three years after the ship was commissioned and appointed a commander. The confusion comes from possibly the name being either similar or the same, as well as the fact that the Charles W. Davis listed in the article was born in Montgomery Alabama, the ship's namesake.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.160.211.156 (talk) 00:01, 15 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Hugin (software)/Archive 1

message: I see  that an article published by the Free Software Magazine was used to assert notability. FSM is an on-line e-zine. Is that a WP:RS in terms of WP:NOTABILITY? I need to go re-read those guidelines. (Requestion 00:55, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite frankly it's not a great source for notability, but it's among the easier ones to accept for people who know little about free software. The usual criteria don't work well for software, even less for FOSS. There has been an attempt at creating a notability guideline for software, but it's inactive (Wikipedia:Notability (software)). Software like Hugin and ATLAS (an article which saw the same discussion) is clearly notable, and if it didn't satisfy the guideline (it does), then you'd know there's something wrong with the guideline. Rl 06:37, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree, ATLAS is definitely notable. There must be a huge number of verifiable and reliable third party references for ATLAS, so I'm surprised there was even a discussion. Hugin is in a different class. Don't worry, I don't plan on pursuing notability here, I just wanted to raise the question because I've been seeing a lot of WP:RS problems lately. I wasn't aware of Wikipedia:Notability (software), thank you for pointing it out to me. (Requestion 16:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Wow, I forgot I said that above. What brought me back here was that someone added a GoogleGroup forum link which WP:EL says to avoid. Then I saw that FSM e-zine link and we had a recent spamming problem with that at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Spam/2007_Archive_May#http:.2F.2Fspam.freesoftwaremagazine.com_http:.2F.2Fspam.illiterarty.com. Then I looked at the history log, saw the speedy "CSD A7 candidate" and notability edit summaries and thought that something was going on. I did it without thinking and I didn't intend to bring up the notability issue. But now that this can of worms is out of the bag let's deal with it and fix it for good this time. The key line from Wikipedia:Notability (software) is "subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the software's author" which parallels the line of thinking in WP:NOTABILITY.

replies: text:  Well that and the c't article are definitely enough to assert notability. Why don't the article creators add this stuff when they first create the article?

Most of the major activists in the conspiracy were from the Walhalla-orden, and their activism after the Anjala conspiracy clearly did not direct itself towards merely restoring political liberties, but were quite clearly independence and even republican directed (in the long term view). -- Cimon Avaro; on a pogostick. 21:26, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Finnish famine of 1866–1868

message: This catastrophe was not unique for Finland. It also occurred in Sweden. As a matter of fact currently the Swedish version of this page only mentions the situation in Sweden. It seems to me that a page must have more or less the same subject regardless in what language it's written. Also, since due to close geographical proximity this natural catastrophe did largely occur in parallel in both Finland and Sweden, it would make sense to change the subject of this article somewhat and write about the situation in both Finland and Sweden in the same article. --Smallchanges 14:49, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Although svwiki describes 1867 as the worst of the years, there is a one year mismatch between the svwiki article on (northern) Sweden and this article on Finland, so it would have to receive a different title and coverage if it is to fully cover Sweden as well. I think that a separate Swedish famine of 1867-1869 article could be an equally resonable choice. Tomas e (talk) 20:02, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not Finnish but Swedish/Finnish 

message: I am going to be bold and split the article between the famines in Finland and Sweden.  While the famines did occur in both Finland and Sweden during the late 1860s, there is a difference between the years (1866-68 in Finland and 1867-69 in Sweden), and regardless, the disaster was such a big event in the history of both nations that it should have separate articles which could concentrate on the causes, actions and events for both countries. Such are also the case of other articles when catastrophes spread across nations.  As it is now, most links as well almost all of the articles on other Wikipedia language versions focus on the famine in Finland.  I inserted the majority of the text of the Swedish section here myself a while ago, but I believe it would be uncontroversial to perform a split of the article - it is already split in the text and sections, though they are placed in the same article page. Any one are free to disagree and contest my split, of course.--Aciram (talk) 19:44, 20 July 2018 (UTC)
