Talk:André Chénier

message: This page uses what can best be described as "odd" English. I assume it is translated from French. It is not translated well. Some sentences make no sense whatsoever. 
For example:
The record of his last moments by La Touche is rather melodramatic and is certainly not above suspicion. 
...or...
Robespierre, who was himself on the brink of the volcano, remembered the venomous sallies in the Journal de Paris
...mean what exactly?
**makes perfect sense to me, dude.
I'm left little the wiser about Chénier's life. Why was he imprisoned? I really can't tell from this account.
The whole page needs to be rewritten by someone who 1. speaks English natively, and 2. knows something about the subject. Right now this is just yet one more example of why wikipedia is mediocre at best. Seriously folks, this is not a fun place to post up the translation class essays. You are wasting everyone's time.

message: Hi ! I've found this commemorative plate :Image:Louveciennes Voisins plaque Chénier.jpg in Louveciennes. I translate : « The poet André Chénier (1762 - 1794) sheltered here by Mme Le Coulteux celebrated his hostess under the name of Fanny ». The here is the former castle of Voisins replaced in 1820 by this one : :Image:Louveciennes Château de Voisins.JPG. Is anyone sure he spent some time in the plateau de Satory (south suburb of Versailles) as said in the article instead of Louveciennes city at about 6 kilometers in the north of Versailles. I'm not gifted enough to edit with correct english the article. Can somebody do it for me ? Anticipated thanks. Cordially, ℍenry, encyclophile (speak slowly, please) 08:57, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: 50% of the Pacific Highway from Hexham to Tweed Heads is now dual carriageway - Including the "in contruction" section(s), as follows; 
* Bonville upgrade 
* Ballina Bypass 
* Karuah to Buledelah upgrade section(s) 2 and 3 
* Coopernook to Herons Creek upgrade
* Bulahdelah upgrade – Seeking planning approval, no updates as yet
* Clarify 'Bulahdelah bypass' as the section bypassing the Buladelah Mountains is open and generally known as the Buladelah Bypass, however I'm assuming the above mentioned bypass is of the town of Buladelah itself.

message: Can't see why we have two separate articles, t is one seamless road from Hexham to the Brisbane CBD. Wikipedia for some reason treats them as separate roads, arbitrarily splitting them at Brunswick Heads. The latter was the end of the dual carriageway from Brisbane for a time, but that has not been the case for many years. Tottersley (talk) 00:58, 12 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Because Pacific Motorway was gazetted only up to Brunswick Heads, whereas the section south of it is still gazetted Pacific Highway. Hence by gazette definition, they are separate roads (regardless of signposting). Marcnut1996 (talk) 02:08, 12 May 2022 (UTC)

text: As per Marcnut1996, it is not a Wikipedia decision but a government distinction. But if suitably cited, there's no reason not to point out the reality of a seamless road for the purposes of driving. Kerry (talk) 22:44, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

Talk:Sergei Dovlatov

message: I think it might be good to remove the word "liberal" from the description of Dovlatov's New American magazine.  The word has so many meanings it's meaningless unless applied to a political party bearing that name.
BTW... Dovlatov's venture in NY caused quite a stir in Russian emigre circles back around 1980 or so.  The magazine was founded as a kind of second option to the venerable Novoye Russkoe Slovo at that time still edited by Sedych.  Perhaps NA was liberal in comparison to NRS.  It's all a tempest in a teapot now, and so it was then.

message: You'll find two stories about Umar common on the web.
The first is that he ordered the destruction of the Great Library of Alexandria, based on prejudice against all books that weren't the Quran. This story is implausible for a bunch of reasons; it'd be nice to see it properly debunked here.
The second story touchingly contradicts religious bigotry of the first: supposedly Umar made a point of not turning the Church of the Holy Sepulchre into a mosque. Mentioned in that article, worth expanding on here. Isaac Rabinovitch (talk) 21:01, 19 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Roth's theorem

message: As I recall, there is some logical point about the effective nature of C(ε) that has been brought up (by Roquette?); such that it is recursive in a definite sense, though it is not going to be provably primitive recursive or anything very useful by the method.

In Margaret George's the The Autobiography of Henry VIII the Cardinal gives the palace as a gift to Henry VIII, I have no idea how accurt is that I only know that the author does a lot of research for her books (she wrote about Mary of Scotland and Cleopatra), any ideas? DelftUser 09:40, 2005 July 27 (UTC)
:I believe I've read that Henry put a lot of pressure on Wolsey, who came to realize that if he didn't present the place to the Dear Leader as a spontaneous token of his undying love, he might be kneecapped, shot in the back of the head, encased in concrete, and dropped into the Thames.

Talk:Mueang Samut Prakan district

message: If I understand the local administration of Thailand there is nothing like a "city of Samut Prakan". Only Pattaya is a special case (and Bangkok of course), but for all other there are only the changwat, amphoe and tambon administrations. However especially for the rural provinces the Amphoe Mueang covers much more area than the densely settled city, yet it has similar administrative ways for cities in Germany where a "city" may include surrounding villages, even if there are some kilometer of nature in between. Thus I don't think we need a separate article on the "city" and the "Amphoe Mueang", and thus the article should then be moved to Samut Prakan. And for Samut Prakan all of the amphoe is densely populated, thus there is no way to tell a city boundary anyway. Any comments? andy 08:12, 7 Jul 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: For this amphoe no problem. Some Amphoe Meuang do have a seperate tambon with the city name ....... I think it is going to be a case to case base.
