Talk:Jenever

message: I think the text should clarify that calling genever 'Dutch Gin' is factually incorrect. It's a form of Anglo-biased history writing. Factually correct would be: "gin is English jenever", not the other way round. 81.100.177.219 (talk) 11:08, 11 September 2011 (UTC)

message: Strange... the only jenever I've seen has been currant-flavored. Is that common? What does juniper taste like? Salvar (talk) 00:02, 21 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Juniper berries are fairly easy to buy in the UK, so easy to taste. Juniper trees and shrubs grow well in cool hilly climates and you can often pick the berries for culinary use. The flavouring is used in gins in other countries too, often more powerfully. The London and Plymouth styles found in the UK, USA, Spain and France are strongly flavoured with juniper.Sjwells53 (talk) 15:48, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Currants 

message: The name 'submarine' is not for any combination of jenever and beer, but specifically for when the (smaller) glass of jenever is submerged, inverted, in the glass of beer. At first one tastes just the beer, until the glass with jenever tips over, releasing the jenever. Haven't found a good source for what is basically common knowledge in The Netherlands, except this one in Dutch.SQB (talk) 11:18, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Submarine 

message: Somebody needs to fix this gross inaccuracy: Because the resulting spirit was not palatable due to the lack of refined distilling techniques (only the pot still was available), herbs were added to mask the flavour.
Look up Pot still and Batch distillation to discover that distillers have almost total control over the finished product, unlike the Column still which does not permit "passing over" unwanted fractions.
My own thought is that regardless of what Answers.com may have said about Bols Distilleries (the citation given for the above statement), the truth is more certainly that in the 1500s and early 1600s the quality of base fermentate was often less than optimal -- the good stuff was never given to the distillery.  BTY, this strategy was used extensively in the speakeasies common during the USA Prohibition era, when poor quality (ethyl/methyl) alcohol was flavoured with fruit juice to make it drinkable...

thread_title:  Total SA -> Total SE 

message: An ISIS splinter group (Al Shabob) (sp?) was active in an area where Total employees were developing infrastructure for gas. This was a substantial property with over 130 employees from overseas, as well as other local employees.
     Despite the warning signs of eminent attack, as well as long term threats, insufficient arrangements were made for these contract employees safety. Despite the attempts of an underfunded and under gunned security force (helicopters and all), the response was inadequate. Ukrainian security contractors with heavy troop helicopters and very adequate arms declined moving to remove the personnel they were contracted to protect, some 12 miles away. Nor did the Mozambique army.
     After 3 days the unarmed contractors, and locals, made a run for safety in private vehicles.  About half survived.
     The preferred method of killing by the extremists was machete beheading, rather than gunshot execution.
    Total has declined compensation to the families of the victims.  
     This is a significant event, and should not be buried.  69.178.94.180 (talk) 03:01, 25 February 2023 (UTC)

In the history of the university ( in Hungarian), Óbuda is not mentioned, only Buda, the Royal Palace. The above sentence might still be true, though, but we need some evidence.

Talk:Conscription crisis

message: conscription was when militay service was made compulsory.
:In some nations, conscription is part of their history, but not a current reality.
:In some nations, they have some kind of national service today which can include military service.
:In some nations, new people are "recruited" into the armed services in ways that are barbaric by contemporary standards.
::Consider child soldiers today.
::Consider chain gangs that contributed to the start of the War of 1812.  British naval ships stopped neutral vessels on the high seas, and forceably drafted persons of other nationalities into the British Navy.  This led to one of those neutral nations declaring war on Britain, after failing to get them to stop, through diplomatic channels.
:One crisis comes about when there is a change in long standing policies and practices, combined with a war that is unpopular for a large segment of the population that is at risk of being drafted into it.
:Another kind of crisis can occur when the military is running out of people willing to serve, so various measures might be taken to prevent people from leaving when their term of service has expired.  This action has the effect of discouraging more people from joining up.

Talk:El Morro National Monument

message: "El Morro National Monument" does not refer to the part of San Juan National Park.  This page itself ("El Morro National Monument") used to be a redirect to the "El Morro" in San Juan.  
A page that links from "El Morro" to this page could be considered correct, since many national parks are referred to without their designation.  For instance, most people would say, "I went to the Grand Canyon," rather than saying, "I went to the Grand Canyon National Park."  However, in the interest of an encyclopedia, I would agree that redirecting "El Morro" to "El Morro National Monument" is incorrect since there is another place more properly called "El Morro."
Anyway, I've fixed the problem.

Talk:Biocoenosis

message: There are three fairly common spellings of this word: biocenose, biocoenose, and biocoenosis.  The first is the least common by Google search, and the last is by far the most common by Google (4 or 5 to 1) and dictionary searches (e.g., Refdesk). I'm inclined to use the original spelling biocoenosis as that seems much more widely used in ecology. Anybody have an opinion on this before I make the change? - Marshman 17:28, 31 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Notes

message: After seeing several various pages with redlinks to Community (ecology) I made a quick page about it. Now, in searching for other pages that could be linked to Community (ecology) I found this page on biocoenosis. I hadn't heard of this term before, but it seems to be essentially the same as the page I just made. A possible difference might be in the differences of meaning in difference uses of the word "community" I tried to explain. Anyway, I thought I'd comment here about it. Wikipedia pages on ecology topics and terms seem numerous and not always easy to find. I wouldn't want to add more pages to an already tangled web. On the other hand, I wish there was a better organization to all these pages. Pfly 17:09, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

I invited him, there, and on his talk page User talk:Martin2000 to use his energies more wisely, by actually discussing things on the talk pages of articles he wants to edit, and indeed here, at the RfC on his own behaviour rather than by attempting to find open proxies to administer "punishment edits" to people he didn't like, and creating a series of new identities (apparently Nitram0003 and Nitram0004 now exist) to avoid blocks by admins, and get another chance to call the people who blocked him stupid.
From Talk%3ABah%E1%27u%27ll%E1h, it appears the editors he now thinks are stupid include Geni, Tony Sidaway, Gamaliel, Knowledge Seeker and of course violet/riga, who protected the Baha'i Faith page on March 10 as a result of this editor's continual edit warring on the Baha'i pages.

When the local government had problems (and they did) all small gifts of food or clothing stopped. People literally starved to death, which they seldom did during the "Great" Depression.
