Talk:Chemical mortar battalion

message: Yes, I agree with anon's edit, this is an U. S. Army subject, so it should be spelled "manoeuverability". Dieter Simon 00:03, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Manoeuvrability versus manoeuverability 

message: I added a number of points to this article, mostly expanding on existing content. The only point I contradicted was referring to the shell in flight as silent rather than "fluttering." My reference for this is an officer of the U.S. 45th Infantry Division who interviewed a number of German POWs about the chemical mortar; he was also the source of the "grass-cutter" nickname.
I made a "dog's breakfast" of my edits, as Field Marshall Montgomery would say, because this is my first Wikipedia edit and I was unfamiliar with the tools. My apologies and a promise to do better next time.
:Fluttering might not be the exact description of the sound a missile in transit makes, but there certainly was a sound before it reached its target. The trouble with mortar shells is, as in any other ordnance as they come toward you (and you survive) you don't hear the sound, but anyone not far off will most certainly hear if not a fluttering but a buffeting kind of sound. We were within earshot of shells bursting very close but were not directly beneath them, and I can assure you they definitely made this buffeting sound. How could they not, anything that travels through air is subjected to buffeting by air currents, which manifests itself in shells of higher velocity as a kind of whistling, screaming or even howling. Only in recent stealth-type missiles and craft is this being avoided. Dieter Simon 22:25, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: We would probably have to ascertain where these POWs were positioned in relation to the shell in transit and its subsequent impact. As for the members of the mortar platoons, etc. themselves, they should have been able to hear adjacent or slightly more distant shells being fired. Dieter Simon 23:33, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Changes in Chemical Mortar Battalions May 9 2006 

message: '... had evolved to prevail against the random effect of the gas clouds that in adverse weather would affect friend and foe alike with sometimes disastrous results in the trench-warfare conditions at the time.'
Surely the only sensible conclusion one can make from this sentence is that the Stokes mortar was designed to combat gas attacks; which is utter nonsense, the 4" Stokes (which was the basis for the 4.2") was used to fire gas shells (at which it was very successfull, although it lso ired other types of shells).Glevum (talk) 01:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Not the only sensible conclusion. I read it as stating the advent of the chemical mortar made it less likely that gas fired by one side would affect the side that fired it, which was a huge problem when chemicals were dispersed out of simple canisters. Reword it to make it clearer, if you'd like, but purporting that your reading is the only sensible conclusion one could make is a stretch. IvoShandor (talk) 02:48, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Template talk:Campaignbox Burbridge's Raid into Southwest Virginia

message: Is this the only battle for this "campaign"?  If so, why does it get its own campaignbox?  One battle does not equal a campaign. Roy Al Blue 00:06, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Quite the contrary — a campaign could take a long time and cover a great distance and have only one battle, or even no battles at all. See: http://www.nps.gov/hps/abpp/battles/bycampgn.htm which was the basis for most of the campaignboxes on Wikipedia. That site lists numerous one battle campaigns. Also see Tudor Vladimirescu#Uprising. His campaign started in January 1821 and in May 1821 it was over with no battles fought, just an advance on, and occupation of Bucharest in March and two months rule. Then the retreat of Tudor's army in May, as the Ottomans occupied Bucharest without meeting resistance. That's still a campaign. Mojoworker (talk) 21:40, 13 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:QIO

message: Note that RSX11A is slightly different (see the programmers guide on bitsavers).
While it has QIOs, in wait & non-wait forms, it doesn't have flags, nor does it have ASTs.
Instead of ASTs it has 'End Actions'.
An AST queues in system mode, atomically delivering one at a time to user space. An End Action does not appear to queue in system space, and are delivered to user space in a non atomic fashion.  So a second End Action may be triggered before the first completes, interrupting it.  When the second ends, the first resumes.  They can be so stacked to an arbitrary depth.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.169.14.23 (talk) 22:32, 15 February 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Evergreen Political Information Center

message: This looks to me like it might include original research.  Because Wikipedia only uses information already published in verifiable sources—that is, we are at most a secondary source (if not a tertiary source, etc.)—we cannot accept original material.  This is explained in one of our main editorial policies: No Original Research.  Because of the lack of sources, and because it (subjectively, admittedly) sounds as if it might have been written by a member of EPIC, my suspicion is that the material here represents original research (more specifically, someone's first-hand knowledge of the organization).  Now, if the information in this article can be cited using sources that meet with Wikipedia's editorial policy on verifiability, then there won't be much problem with the article.  However, if little or none of the content here can be sourced, this may just have to be redirected to (or perhaps minimally merged into) the article on The Evergreen State College. — Jeff | (talk) | 01:17, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Unidentified word?

message: Hi, I would like to make some adjustments to the format of this article and expand on the topics presented.  I will make only small additions to the introduction based on the information added to the body.
I believe a segment describing the structure of glycolipids and discussing the formation and significance in function would be beneficial for understanding them further.  This segment may also incorporate the various types of glycolipids (glyceroglycolipids and glycosphingolipids) and how they differ in structure.
The metabolism section can have additional information on the process of formation and breakdown of the molecules and describe discrepancies among the different types.  Also, describe impact from these processes.
I also would like to add a cell to cell interaction section about the role of glycolipids as signaling molecules on the surface of cell membranes.  This would include some critical examples such as blood types and also discuss how structure enables glycolipids to accomplish this.
Finally I wish to provide a short sentence or two about the different types of glycolipids under the last section so that users do not have to visit another page to get quick information.
I may adjust my plan throughout my time working on this page.  If anyone does not agree with this, please reply so we can optimize this page.  Thank you.--Wpcrosson (talk) 20:01, 3 November 2015 (UTC)

Also, according to that article their album "Mason Proffit" was nominated in 1971. This article has no mention of an album entitled simply "Mason Proffit".

replies: text: After doing some looking around - mostly at awards sites and the Grammy's own site I've come to the conclusion that it was "Wanted" that was nominated in 1971. My best guess is due to the album cover having only the group's name on it, the Grammy's misidentified the album's title as "Mason Proffit" instead of it's given title "Wanted". Also, I could find no album in their discography entitled "Mason Proffit" in the 3 places I looked (one being AllMusic).THX1136 (talk) 01:55, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Nobutake Kondō

message: Article states that, after commissioning as an ensign, Kondo was assigned to cruiser Aso (an old RJW prize), destroyer Kisaragi and "battleship Kongo". All placed chronologically ahead of a 1912-13 posting to the UK as a naval attache.
Kongo (battlecruiser) did not commission until 1913. Is this the ship we mean (the article does specifically say "battleship" but links to the battlecruiser)?
Link to Kisaragi was to the 1920s-era destroyer. This seems very wrong, since Kondo had been promoted to a staff post by the time this small ship completed for service. However, (as I suspected) there was an earlier Kisaragi, built in 1905 as a second-generation TBD. This vessel was in commission during the time period under discussion, so the link has been accordingly changed.
The old ironclad corvette (small, obsolete 'battleship') Kongo was still extant as a survey ship until 1910. Was the young Ensign Kondo perhaps assigned to this ship rather than the not-yet-complete battlecruiser in the pre-1912 period of his career? 2A00:23C7:3119:AD01:5C45:CB78:D20C:E5D4 (talk) 18:56, 19 February 2023 (UTC)
