Talk:Nancy Ammerman

thread_title: New Book

message: None of the material added to this article is biographical. It all belongs in the article on Waco. What belongs here is the date she was born, her academic credentials, lists of books she's written, etc. Cheers, -Willmcw 19:30, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)
I agree that this entry is entirely too fixated on her Waco report, which I'm sure she would say is just a small part of her work. As I noted in my edit, she has never focused on cults/NRMs. I've added a little bit of the other material you suggested, but the article remains heavily unbalanced in its Waco focus.
I have to ask, though, what information in the article needs to be verified? What specifically is being disputed or doubted? The article pretty much consists of summarizing Ammerman's report, and from what I can tell, it says the things that the article ascribes to it. Many would disagree with her interpretation of Waco, but since the article is about her report's perspective rather than what "really happened," it is not necessary (for purposes of this entry) to verify that what she says is true, just that she did say it. It could be said that relating her conclusions, without saying much about the perspective of those who dispute her report, is inherently biased, but that is a POV issue rather than a verifiability issue. --WacoKid 04:47, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Old talk

message: Okay, I have added a POV template to the page because it reads, frankly, like a press-release. Whether or not this was intentional, it is pretty obvious with phrasing such as:
*Inflation in Lithuania is no longer a problem. Economic sentiment and confidence of all business activities have rebounded from a record low at the beginning of the year 2009 and suggest further improvements in the economy.
*Lithuania attracts foreign investors not only because of small tax burden but also because of a skilled workforce, a well-developed infrastructure and a bigger domestic market than the other two Baltic states combined.
*Lithuania has an ambitious plan to become a Northern European innovation centre by 2020. To reach this goal, it is putting its efforts into attracting FDI to added-value sectors, especially IT services, software development, and consulting services, as well as finance or logistics.
*Lithuania has prepared an attractive environment for business start-ups
*Lithuania takes the first position in the EU by the number of students in the country.
*An excellent telecommunication infrastructure and a well-educated, multilingual workforce enable Lithuania to provide high quality business services worldwide.
There's more, but that's a pretty good set of examples, I feel. Now, I don't really have a whole lot of time to spend on this, so while I'll do what I can, that's not going to be a whole lot. Aero-Plex (talk) 20:08, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: but had a few notable designs of its own, such as the ill-conceived Boulton Paul Defiant. - Although it was not a success I'd tend to disagree with the term 'ill conceived' - the Defiant was conceived as a replacement for the Hawker Demon and as-such was built to the same formula, i.e., a fighter armed with a gun/guns aimed by a dedicated air gunner. The purpose was to attack incoming bombers from directions other than in a diving attack, the Defiant could position itself alongside or below an enemy bomber and open fire with the turret guns. This was quite feasible in the years it was designed as the prospect of enemy fighters accompanying the attacking bombers was unlikely due to the ranges involved. The Fall of France and the moving of Luftwaffe airfields to the French coast at the English Channel changed all this.
The Defiant's main problem was that it had no fixed forward-firing guns and could have done with a lot more power than that given by the Mark of Merlin fitted.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.70.155 (talk) 21:46, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

So where on earth did the electric power come from? Pedals?
Gutta Percha (talk) 04:34, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: Some of it came from hydraulic accumulators. This didn't produce energy from nowhere, but it did reduce the instantaneous power demanded from the hydraulic pump. That allowed a smaller pump, relative to the motor power, it also reduced the load on the engine allowing a simpler drive mechanism and also avoided sudden draw of engine power during combat, which might have an unwelcome effect for the pilot trying to manoeuvre. Note also that the Defiant had about 20% less power (early engine models, not the developed engines which went into the single seaters) than a Hurricane and weighed 1,000lb more.

... perhaps this would be a better way to put the rather negative sounding thoughts in the "mollify" paragraph:
The Golden Age and Consolation magazines often drew attention to the militaristic stirrings in Germany. In 1929, more than three years before Hitler came to power, the German edition of The Golden Age boldly stated: "National Socialism is . . . a movement that is acting . . . directly in the service of man's enemy, the Devil."
On the eve of Hitler's taking power, The Golden Age of January 4, 1933, said: "There looms forth the menacing promontory of the National Socialist movement. It seems incredulous that a political party so insignificant in its origin, so heterodox in its policies, can, in the space of a few years, develop into proportions that overshadow the structure of a national government. Yet Adolf Hitler and his national socialist party (the Nazis) have accomplished this rare feat."
An Appeal for Understanding Hitler became prime minister of Germany on January 30, 1933, and a couple of months later, on April 4, 1933, the Magdeburg branch office of Jehovah's Witnesses was seized. However, the order was rescinded on April 28, 1933, and the property was returned. What would happen next?
In spite of the evident hostility of the Hitler regime, Jehovah's Witnesses organized a convention in Berlin, Germany, on June 25, 1933. Some 7,000 persons assembled. The Witnesses publicly made their intentions clear: "Our organization is not political in any sense. We only insist on teaching the Word of Jehovah God to the people, and that without hindrance."
Thus Jehovah's Witnesses made a good-faith effort to state their case. What were the consequences? I recommend following the second link above to get an answer.  The article as it stands does not reflect a NPOV. It defintely reflects opinion.

replies: text:  (tl;dr I agree) I'm unclear how the request was "rhetorical" - he asked for five dollars. Whether he meant it in a 'generic' way, such as 'give me your money' or a specific amount seems immaterial. I disagree that the inflation of currency is inappropriate to the request that was made, as requests tend to be made based upon their percieved value. For example, in 1984, 716,800,000 five dollar bills were printed, 1,292,800,000 twenty dollar bills were printed. Because the relative value of the dollar is much lower today, in 2022 525,456,000 five dollar bills were printed, while 1,711,136,000, reflecting the lower use of the lower value currency. Perhaps it falls into the realm of trivia, I am open to that. And the longer I sit here writing this, the more I'm coming around to your way of thinking, lol! Okay - I guess it's a fair assessment.
