Talk:Flashing sign

message: I posted this definition of flashing sign in order to elicit any changes or rewrites anyone would like to make to it.  Here's why:
This definition was given by a sign company that wants to erect a readerboard as part of a sign for a new gas station in order to try to avoid having to conform to the part of the city code that says that "signs which flash" or "have the appearance of movement" are prohibited.  The city planning commission will be meeting on 11/16/05 "to make a determination regarding a code interpretation request ... for an interpretation of whether a changeable-copy message board sign should be considered a 'flashing sign' or a sign that has 'the appearance of movement.'"
I disagree with the company's definition and would greatly appreciate it if the Wikipedia community could come up with an alternative definition that I could take to the planning commission meeting.
Thank you, Manjusri053 06:35, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Certainly, divergence between what's promised and what's delivered should be mentioned in the US article as well. My POV of course is that there's nothing close to an equivalence here--the guarantees in the US Constitution are meaningful though not perfectly upheld, whereas the PRC ones are a sick joke in a basically fascist country. But I wouldn't say that in an article because it would be POV, just as it's POV to claim that the personal liberty of PRC citizens is inviolable when that's so at odds with the facts. --Trovatore 15:29, 3 November 2005 (UTC)

message: "The article is accurate about the Constitution"
Then it should be titled "Civil liberties in the constitution of the People's Republic of China." If the article is "Civil liberties in the People's Republic of China" it needs to describe the realities of civil liberties in the PRC. That is, that people in the PRC have very limited civil liberties and are not granted freedom of religion or freedom of speech.

Google Maps gives a longitude of 61.17°W for the easternmost point of Ellesmere Island, compared with 61.26°W for Cape Dyer.  But, Google is not particularly precise on where exactly the east coast of Ellesmere Island actually is, and based on this script the difference is only  at 82.3°N.  So it's not definitive.

Talk:Tachanka

message: :"The tactics of tachanka are similar to that of the technical. It could approach the target pretending to be a civilian vehicle and then open up with well-aimed fire, or it could spray a target area while moving at high speed."
Can anyone actually provide evidence of a tachanka ever being used in this way? Pretending to be a farmer is rather difficult given the size of the water-cooled Maxim machine gun and the supporting riflemen needed for an isolated carriage to sneak up to an enemy (multiple unfamiliar farmers approaching in several carts at once obviously ruins whatever element of surprise this sneaking up affords, and a single machine gun would not be enough to overwhelm any sizeable enemy force before they had a chance to disperse and return fire). Also, given that most horse-drawn carriages have a minimal, if any, suspension, "spraying" while moving would provide almost no results. From what I have read, the tachanka was mainly used as a rapid form of transportation for machine guns, the speed of which would take the enemy by surprise (remember they were used before the automobile or the tank was introduced to the battlefield), that is, the cart itself would mostly remain stationary after getting in firing position, and as a way to provide suppressive fire onto pursuing cavalry after raids.

Talk:List of international enclaves

message: I'm not quite sure the difference in legal status between the Pavillon_de_Breteuil and the SMOM headquarters in Rome which I think is the same. Can anyone elaborate more on this point, in particular the definition of "international enclave" vis-á-vis place with extraterritoriality. -- User:DD Ting, 2005/11/3, UTC09:09
:It appears to me that both the Pavillon de Breteuil and the SMOM headquarters in Rome are areas that have extraterritoriality and therefore are not enclaves.  The difference between an enclave and area of extraterritoriality is that an enclave is soverign territory of a country that is surrunded by another country while an area of extraterritoriality is just exempt from the juristiction of the country that surronds it. Areas of extraterritoriality can be created or destroyed at will while enclaves usually last forever. 
:This page has some errors as all items listed are areas of extraterritoriality  and not enclaves. The entries not already on the enclave page in the Extraterritoriality section, should be moved there and this page should redirect to enclave article. It would also be a good idea to merge the exclave page to the enclave page. The only issues is that the page would be quite large but that could be delt with by removing the subnation entries and only list the international level ones.
