Talk:Star Model Z84

message: "a successful run of SMG's based on the German MP-40 design. relaizing they coudn't rebuild the same weapon over and over,"
While the Z45 was indeed very similar to the MP-40, all others (Si35, RU35 & TN35, Z-62 & Z-63, Z-70 & Z-70/B) were markedly different, many with a number of unique features. 
The Z-75 is not discussed in any way. 
9 mm Largo caliber versions of the Z-84 are not discussed.
At least two barrel lengths of the Z-84 were offered. These are not discussed. 
"Rate of fire: 600 RPM"
The rate of fire, as for all Spanish Army Issue (or intended) firearms, is 550 rounds per minute. 
"Star was building and importing large numbers of cheap handguns into the US."
Many would disagree with this.
1) Their handguns were lower priced than many top brands, but a number of foreign and domestic makers sold guns for similar prices.
2) Cheap implies low quality. Quality claims against Star firearms are not borne out by testing.
3) The US market did not comprise the bulk of their sales. Many guns were sold in europe and Spanish-speaking South America. Significant numbers were also sold in Asia and the Middle East (though often thru 3rd parties, hence sales figures are hard to come by).
"The 1994 Assault weapons Ban )now repealed), banned the importation of many of their designes. This proved disastrous for Star and by 1996 had driven them into bankruptcy."
A large number of factors caused at least three Spanish gun makers (and numerous other european firearms manufacturers) to cease operations, combine or be bought out. 
By no means was the US market the deciding factor.
1) Many Stars were imported after the various US weapons bans. The largest changes were from the 1968 GCA, in fact. I am aware of no changes made to ANY star firearms for the 1990s era US gun control laws. Restricted capacity magazines were made for a number of guns, indicating their sale after the magazine capacity ban.
2) Legislation in various european countries restricting the ownership of firearms had a much greater impact on their sales, especially domestically.

The last terror birds (Titanis walleri) lived in Florida and died out about 2 million B.C.

Talk:Afrikaans grammar

message: About the preterite form, the page says:
"The preterite has been completely replaced by the perfect. Once again, the verb wees is the only exception to this rule, which admits the preterite form was."
Immediately after that, there's a list of preterite forms (sou/kon/wis etc.) That's confusing. Perhaps someones who speaks Afrikaans can improve this.
:To clarify, the page states that the preterite form has been completely replaced by the perfect. This is true for all normal verbs. The only exceptions (as the page states) is the modal verbs sal, wil, kan, moet and mag (these translate as will, want to, can, have to and may / might, which are modal verbs of English as well.) and the only truly irregular Afrikaans verbs, wees and hê. Wees has a preterite form was while its present form is is. While hê has an (archaic) preterite form had, which has mostly fallen out of use and has been replaced by the perfect form het gehad.
:It is important to note that Afrikaans speakers make no distinction in meaning between the preterite and perfect forms. And it is often a difficult distinction to teach young children the distinction when learning European languages. --payxystaxna (talk) 14:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: "Ancient God"?

message: Here's some more unreferenced stuff, which I won't post because I feel it's definitely falling into the realm of unreferenced Original Research.
The idea that the Welsh have two names for "David" is probably bogus, and comes from misunderstanding caused by the fact that St David was called, in Wales, "Dewi Sant". Nobody else at that time used the name to mean David. He started it, but Dafydd was already well entrenched at the time.
Perhaps St David was not Dewi Sant, but something like "y dewis sant" (the saint of choice), and the conflation with David was an English mistake.
The English church records mention St David. The Welsh ones speak of Dewi Sant - both indicate that he is the same person, uncle of Offa/Arthur.
The Mabinogion speaks nothing of such a saint, but gives Taliesin the bard, uncle of Offa.
English folklore mentions Merlin as Arthur's uncle instead.
So - saint, bard, wizard - is it likely that the three are one and the same? Or that the actions three different legendary traditions have had some cross-feed so that similar characters get attributes from the other traditions?
All the above is alleged by my father, and I have no references whatsoever. I'm pretty sure at least half of it is incorrect, but would be interested to see which parts (if any) bear up to scrutiny.

message: A previous edit claimed that Brahms in his four symphonies wrote for the natural trumpet. While it might be a justifiable statement that his trumpet writing is 'suggestive' of the earlier instrument in its harmonic simplicity, it is a fact that the valved trumpet in F was the standard orchestral instrument in the second half of the 19th century, only giving way to the Bb trumpet (and cornet) in the last decade or two. There are many references to this fact in various histories of the trumpet--Philip Bate and Edward Tarr, for example.
You can see an original valved F trumpet by going here: http://www.music.ed.ac.uk/euchmi/ujt/ujt2494.html. This is an English instrument, but the Continental models were identical.Cbrodersen (talk) 18:40, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
