Talk:Play the white man

message: Can any British people vouch for this phrases alleged usage in England, as stated ?   Even for historical usage, I have never heard of it--Jrleighton 14:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't know the origin, but I'll certainly look it up.  Its usage meanwhile is uncommon, but I still occasionally hear it and (occasionally) still use it - usually for humour.  I know of the racial connotation, but I don't know if that's a revisionist attempt to 'darken' a saying pre-dating colonialism.--Koncorde (talk) 17:17, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Usage in England

message: This is a phrase I grew up hearing all the time in Maryland but it NEVER meant fair, it was a complaint to someone who'd conned you. I'm (mostly) Caucasian and had always assumed it was a slur against white people but dropped it from my vocabulary when I realized it might not mean the same thing everywhere. Here's an example of how we used it:
If you agreed to purchase a used vehicle and the dealer claimed the A/C worked and after signing the paperwork you realized they'd lied. If you then complained (knowing you'd already been swindled, so they didn't legally HAVE to do anything) and they laughed, but handed you a $20 dollar bill for the "misunderstanding" (which would cost more than $1000 to fix). You would sarcastically say, "Gee, thanks, THAT was mighty white of you." 
NOTE: I did not edit or change the main page at all. I was just wondering if others from the US were familiar with this meaning? 97.121.216.74 (talk) 06:27, 22 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, from looking at sources, it seems that it originated in the American South and originally mean "that's fair of you", but -- because it is clearly racist -- it was soon adopted to ironic use by people outside the American South.

thread_title: Untitled

message: This totally unsourced article is mostly nonsense: a fanciful, unfocussed, at times unreadable personal essay.
Among other things, prince-bishops or prince-abbots were not "princes of the Church", unless they had been elevated to the status of cardinal by the pope. They then were princes of the Church, not because they were prince-bishops but because they were cardinals. Since the majority of prince-bishops were never made cardinals, they never were princes of the Church. 
Definitions of "Prince of the Church":
Oxford Dictionaries:
A dignitary in the Church, especially a wealthy or influential cardinal or bishop.
''
CatholicCulture.org:
A cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church, so called because he is considered the ecclesiastical equal to the prince of a reigning civil society.

message: : article quote: "his Outlines of the Principles of History, published 1858, translated 1893, was widely read throughout German universities.[5]"
This statement is probably wrong, the "Grundriß" (Outline) was reprinted only very few times until Droysen's son-in-law Hübner issued the first edition of the Historik-talks in 1937. Check out library and antiquarian bookshop catalogues and compare with the number of prints of other texts, e.g. Buckle's history of England, which Droysen heavily critizised for it's "materialistic" theory. Droysen's text was simply not available to most scholars and students who didn't received it from Droysen personally in those times. -- 194.94.133.4 (talk) 15:40, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

message: This article needs to be expanded. Right now, it gives a list of facts about the subject without any guiding structure to organize it. Also, needs some kind of introduction to conform to Wiki-standards. Phase2man 17:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You are partially correct.  The 910 was introduced in 1995.  Despite its three digit designation, it is a 3rd Generation pistol.  S&W has never been entirely consistant with its numbering schemes.  The 910 was a simplified version of the earlier 915, which itself was an economy version of the 5904.  The designation was quite simple: the 9 stood for the caliber (9x19mm) and the 10 stood for the capacity of its shipped magazines (which at the time was 10rds due to the federal assault weapons law that ran from 1994 to 2004.)

Talk:Polikarpov I-153

message: :* I-153BS - this version was armed with four 12.7-mm (0.50-inch) machine-guns, instead of ShKAS machine-guns.
This is in direct contradiction to the text above which states that I-153 was test-flown with two TKB-150 (Berezin BS) but in production carried only one due to the weapon's shortage (every other Soviet fighter early in the war carried only a single BS). Four BS would be a pretty hefty load (and recoil) for I-153 as well. What is your source for 4x BS claim?
Also, while the 12.7 mm to 0.50 inch coversion is numerically correct, they are different rounds and the numerical conversion is technically incorrect. - Emt147 Burninate! 17:11, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: I-153BS

message: The article states "[The I-153] reverted to the "gulled" upper wing of the original I-15". This is not quite precise. While the original I-15 had a  "gulled" one-piece upper wing held in place by spars and ties, the I-153 had separate left and right upper wings fastened directly to the fuselage (as may be seen from the pictures).--Death Bredon (talk) 13:33, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (consul 6 AD)

message: I added several more data to the biography of this important Roman aristocrat. My main sources were Tacitus Annals and Ronald Syme's books The Roman Revolution (Oxford University Press 1939, reprinted many times) and The Augustan Aristocracy (Oxford University Press 1986). These books include a full family-tree of the Aemilia family. It often difficul to distinguish the many Aemilii Lepidi: Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (the Triunvir), Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (consul 6 AD), Lucius Aemilius Paullus (brother of the 6 AD consul and husband of Augustus' grand-daugther, who may need a new Wikipedia article. In Tacitus Marcus Aemilius Lepidus is sometimes confused with his less important cousin Manlius Aemilius Lepidus (both are reported as M. Lepidus in the text).
