Talk:Magen Tzedek

message: Shalom, I tried to improve that outdated article. I cannot do much since I don't live in the US (but in Israel) and am not familiar with the ongoing situation there, still I did know of Agriprocessors problematic conditions of work and its closure. Though Rabbi Morris Allen and what ever can be connected to him is unknown to me, in the article he is made to appear not only controversial but also of dubious morality! could some body correct that?
Does any one know what the (11) refers to in the following sentence: Fred Rosner rightly describes this as "a classical text for the teaching of humane treatment of animals."(11)?  
IMO it is necessary to add some facts about the situation in Israel  which is a huge kosher market with a very poor legal regulations government supervision -I believe that there are 7 (or some other ridiculous number) employees only- the H.Ts. has been also promoted because of restaurants' and eateries' staff abuse
I'll read again the article an other day, my first accounter left me an uneasy feeling of a sloppy biased outdated and neglected work (sorry, I don't mean to humiliate the editors, I know how much time and effort is spent to achieve anything) but as I said there is a need for input from s.o. local -US- that can't be me, thanks, Hope&Act3!

Talk:Finnish minelayer Pohjanmaa

message: Since the Navy removed the camouflage from the ship, I think it is time to update the profile photo.
The one at the official website is good, but a bit low resolution.
So if no other photo of the grey paint scheme can be found (there is some that show parts of the ship), I will propose to change the current one to this.
It shows the ship from the bow and moving through ice (which the Pohjanmaa does well).
Since this page is very inactive, I'm not going to do any changes for a month. --Laisak (talk) 16:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Grimsby-class sloop

message: Officially rated as 'sloops' by the Royal Navy and described as such in all major texts, this article describes them as 'sloops-of-war' - a historical term for a similarly (un)rated*/ranked naval vessel.
While a reference to the historical rank of ship by means of a link might be of interest to the reader, it is not appropriate as a designation for this class. Therefore, the link has been retained but the descriptor changed to 'sloop'. 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:5D9:ACB5:1A47:BB9 (talk) 22:00, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

One is the location of the collision with Brazos, the other is the location at which planes from Archer sank U-752.

Talk:HMS Babet (1794)

message: I don't know how relevant this might be but I found today a gravestone recording three individuals, a father and his son and daughter. The son was William Bellamy, a leuitenant in the Royal Navy serving on Le Babet "when she foundered in the West Indies", to quote the stone. Strangely, the gravestone records March 1801 as the date the ship sank, rather tahn November, as suggested in the article. I'm going back to the churchyard tomorrow so I can double check, but I'm sure I recorded the information correctly. Mygrum (talk) 21:04, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

message: The Babet with General Knox sailed in September 1800 - see for example page 3 of the Exeter Flying Post 25 September 1800 https://search.findmypast.com.au/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0000103%2f18000925%2f007&stringtohighlight=knox%20babet Based on letters such as at https://archive.org/stream/cu31924028002743/cu31924028002743_djvu.txt 
"About this time [1801] we got the melancholy account of 
the loss of the Babet, the ship in which our dear John^ 
(General Knox) was gone out as Governor and Commander 
in Chief to Jamaica. Many, many tears did I shed for 
him, I loved him as a brother, and never, I believe, was 
there a man so deserving of the regard and regret every- 
one expressed for him. We long had hopes that the ship 
was not lost, as it was not seen to go down, but years 
have elapsed since, therefore no hope can be indiJged, 
though I am sometimes fool enough to feel some, in 
spite of my almost conviction that it is impossible they 
ever should be realised."

"March 28th. [1801]
Every day takes away part of our hopes ; 
there are letters by the Jamaica mail, and ac- 
counts have been received from Honduras and 
other parts of the island. They have seen nothing 
of the unfortunate Babet , so that little opening 
remains but the chances of capture, which I am 
afraid would have been known before now. The 
Knox family and Colonel Barry give it up as a 
lost case. I write illegibly, for my eyes are dim, 
and every letter appears double. "
I am reasonably certain that some time was spent before declaring the Babet lost.
In February 1801 there were newspaper reports of serious concerns for General Knox who was aboard the Babet. eg Reading Mercury 9 February 1801 page 2 https://search.findmypast.com.au/bna/viewarticle?id=bl%2f0000367%2f18010209%2f003&stringtohighlight=general%20knox

Talk:Persecution of Christians in the Soviet Union

message: There are only two sources that place numbers on deaths and neither are rigorous or reliable. One is a non-peer reviewed word document that you need to use the Wayback Machine to even access, and that source itself cites other sources without ever naming them. The other source cites a non-peer reviewed article by an anthology published by a Christian bookstore. Neither of these are credible historiographic sources and none can point to anything like archival documentation. As the discussion above alludes to, there isn't even a consideration of who is or isn't a Christian in these broad estimates of Soviet death. Until a credible source can be found, I believe these numbers should be removed. - Bjmunise (talk) 01:37, 19 July 2021 (UTC)

Talk:HMS Ben-my-Chree

message: I have removed the majority of the penultimate paragraph:
"After she was fitted for war service as a seaplane carrier, she took out the aerial appliances which were used to sink the German light cruiser 'Konigsberg' in the Cameroons River, steaming all the way from England at 22 knots. Returning to the Suez Canal, she did good work in the Near East, until set on fire by the Turks. She fought their guns for 11 hours until the fire reached her own explosives."
This mangled piece of misinformation seems to have been taken from the reverse of a post-WW1 souvenir picture postcard of the Ben-my-Chree. 
The Ben-my-Chree was in the Dardanelles at the time of the Konigsberg blockade, and the 'aerial appliances' used in spotting the Konigsberg were Caudrons and Farmans which the B-m-C didn't carry anyway.  The Ben-my-Chree was abandoned after approximately 30 mins. shelling from the Turkish mainland, as the referenced 269 Sqn. history shows.  MinorProphet (talk) 23:21, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Short Admiralty Type 74

message: Following text removed:
"On Christmas Day 1914, three Type 74s took part in the first air strike planned and executed with naval support, which became known as the Cuxhaven Raid. The plan was for three seaplane tenders (HMS Engadine, HMS Riviera and HMS Empress), supported by a fleet of cruisers, destroyers and submarines, to launch three seaplanes each from their station in the German Bight, the intention being to bomb the Zeppelin sheds at Cuxhaven to prevent the airships attacking the United Kingdom. Due to low temperatures only seven seaplanes (three Type 74s, two Short Folders and two Short Admiralty Type 135s, each carrying three 20-pound bombs) were able to start their engines and take off. 
"Low cloud, fog and anti-aircraft fire prevented the raid from being a complete success, but the raid demonstrated the feasibility of attack by ship-borne aircraft and was a considerable boost to morale in the United Kingdom. It is noteworthy that all seven aircraft and their crews were recovered intact.The Cuxhaven Raid, 1914"
