Talk:Ligne

message: What in the heck is a watch movement? Could this article be altered so that someone with no prior knowledge of obscure terms relating to watches doesn't have to play ring around the rosy in order to find out what on earth is being described?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.208.225 (talk) 04:02, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Watch movement 

message: The article only mentions the historical use of ligne, except for watch maker's use of the system. It is used also for buttons/snap buttons today, something I personally experienced just now, which is why I added the last sentence in the article, mentioning this - a bit carefully worded since I do not know enough about the extent of it's use today. I do not know how to add references to the already existing list (only one reference) though. I did find some reference to the system online though which may be added. Here is URL's to two sites:
http://www.apparelsearch.com/button_size_chart.htm
http://www.naturalbuttons.com/Buttons%20Ligne.htm
Can somebody please add references to the article? Thanks a lot!  Peapeam (talk) 15:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ligne used for buttons (and in fashion) today 

message: The infobox states 1 ligne equals 2.2558 mm. Later in the article it comes out that there are various definitions of ligne whose length varies widely. A reader just looking for the definition might easily miss this deviation and get the wrong length. I think it might be best to either remove the infobox completely or to fill it out with something like 1 ligne is something between x mm and y mm, depending on context and definition. This should be clear from the beginning also in the article text. An alternative would be to have different articles for each size and context, e.g., Ligne (watchmaking), Ligne (buttonmaking), Ligne (hatmaking), etc.--78.48.159.73 (talk) 21:58, 29 April 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Military training

message: This article redirects to Military education and training which is an article exclusive to the training of recruits that has been recommended for merging into Recruit training.  Military training is not constrained to Recruit training however (See Sand box), so perhaps this page needs to become a main article on Military training.Softtest123 15:07, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose redirect for above mentioned reasons. Education takes place at all levels of military echelons of command, as does training (and re-training), so needs to be separate from recruit training.-- mrg3105mrg3105   04:28, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  South Sudan 

message: I added Environmental_impact_of_roads in the see also section. Motivation is that most people live at the coast, so have no benefit of having (much) more roads (paved roads near cities make sense, but not roads cutting trough the entirety of the countries/continent). The money spend is hence not cost-effective and could have been better spend on other issues, hereby saving lives and reducing the environmental damage. It's a shame the UN has participated in this project, one would assume they would have researched the need first. See also Talk:Environmental_impact_of_roads#Unjustifyable_amount_of_roads

Talk:Rufford Old Hall

message: A visit to the property, with careful attention to the spoken commentary of room guides, may lead one to the conclusion that the screen is made of bog oak and that it bears a carving of a six fingered hand that is meant to denote Anne Boleyn. Reference to the official guidebook (by Richard Dean, published 2007), however, tells us only that the screen is c. 1530-40 and that it bears carvings of two angels, together with the family arms of the Heskeths and the Banastres. Do any editors have any reliable sources for the claims for the material and the carved hand? It seems very unlikely that the NT guides would make such claims without some kind of documentary source. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 22:13, 11 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: A further visit to the hall has revealled that the printed material in the Great Hall says quite clearly that the screen is made of bog oak, although no actual primary source to support that claim is provided. The room guide pointed out the hand with six fingers, which in fact belongs a female heraldic angel holding a shield, together with two other deliberate mistakes. The mistakes are explained, in the printed materia,l with reference to the common belief during Medieval and Tudor times that God alone could make something perfect. For men to do the same was heresy, as this would indicate they were as good as God. To avoid committing this serious crime (punishable by burning at the stake), mistakes were included within the work, or added as it was finished. Thanks.
