Talk:Unicode and HTML for the Hebrew alphabet

message: Created this page as a split from, Hebrew alphabet, and then did some more work on it. Epson291 22:51, 24 June 2007 (UTC)

message: ¶  I would like to add that there are several more Hebrew unicode characters, including the Biblical accents, special letters (such as extra-wide), and other characters.  See, for example:
http://www.alanwood.net/unicode/hebrew.html

message: Re: this revert Which characters are you seeing where "wiki changes them to other characters"? I did not see any on a brief visual scan. I'm trying to figure out which have to be marked with  and which can be converted to the bare character to simplify the markup. -- Beland (talk) 20:10, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Beland and thanks for bringing this here. Well, it happens often that a few characters are rendered incorrectly or nearly the same by default fonts (e.g. in Arabic as well). In this article's example is precomposed letters which contain their diacritics, when saved in a wiki, they are converted to letters plus diacritics, hence they lost (not all of them  apparently). The only way to ensure they are not lost is by typing their code. Also, the diacritics on their own are usually lost, because they are not designed to be displayed standalone, so when we open the editor, they are often stuck or hidden behind brackets or so. That's why I try to write them as codes as well. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Esperfulmo (talk • contribs) 20:24, 29 January 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I see that when I copy "בּ" into the wikitext editor here from the article (where it's still a single HTML entity) if I copy it out again it's a string of two characters, but copying it directly from the article keeps it as one character.

message: A great topic, which deserves fleshing out. I've made a start but I'm sure others can improve on what I have done. Sorry, but my footnoting never works. I wish Wikipedia could simplify the process - perhaps that's why so many people don't bother. But the sources are contained in the external links that I've added.
I've included some more information about the Americans who died on the hulks and where the ships were anchored. (The statement about the death toll which someone thought needed confirmation is correct; figures are inexact but the consensus seems to be that 7000-8000 Americans died in battle in the War of Independence.) 
I've also added some material about penal trasportation and the juveniles detained in hulks in Australia. The name of Abel Magwitch has also been included. 
Maybe the whole item could be better structured.

Talk:Scarborough (1782 ship)

message: I changed Scarboroughs tonnage in the article and wanted to explain my reasoning. There's three principal sources:
* the Register of Transports 1774-94, produced by Admiralty and recording 411 tons;
* a contemporaneous Admiralty survey recording 418 36/94 tons b.o.m.; and
* Observations in Phullip Gidley King RN, aboard the Fleet, recording 430 tons.
I have referenced all three measurements in a footnote, but included the Register as the primary. This is principally because Bateson, an accepted expert on these vessels, contrats all thrre estimates and concludes: "The most accurate figures probably are those given in the "Register of Transports 1774-1794"" (Convict Ships 1969, p.96). Realistically, any of the figures could have been correct given the poor state of records, but Bateson seems a reliable source for picking this one over the others.

The more exacting problems in connection with this combined use of shipping concerned troop transports, particularly the larger and faster vessels which ran without escorts and were moved freely from route to route according to the urgency of the needs. Among the vessels of this type in the British pool were the British liners Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Aquitania, Mauretania, Empress of Scotland, and Andes, the French Ile de France and Pasteur, and the Dutch Nieuw Amsterdam.

Talk:SS Conte di Savoia

message: Conte di Savoia never clenched the Blue Riband but she got the honor to do so before Rex and was quite close. I believe she was the first to set a record crossing from Italy to New York before the Rex though. Remember the Rex suffered engine troubles on her maiden voyage. The Conte di Savoia performed exceptionally well on her sea trails and was favored to win the Blue Riband. It just happens that Conte di Savoia was probably the faster vessel but the Rex was the lucky one to be able to capture the Blue Riband. Winning the Riband is more than just being the faster ship as weather plays a large role in it. Or else the Queen Mary would have easily captured the Blue Riband from Normandie on her maiden voyage.
Article focuses to much on her stabilizers rather than than her novel interior decor. She was the first major liner where the shipbuilder (Constanzi) and lead interior designer (Pulitzer) collaborated. Through and through she was a modern vessel and a precursor to Normandie. In fact her owners, Lloyd Sabuado were afraid that this new style may have been too much and commissioned her ballroom to be in a more classical and ornate style, much to the disappointment of Pulitzer.
There's no mention of the novel but failed experiment of the Special Class (First Class minus, Tourist Class plus) on Rex and Conte di Savoia. By the time they were merged into Tourist Class, these two ships probably had the best mid-tier accommodations on the North Atlantic.
She was considered for salvage after WWII as she was in a better condition compared to her consort Rex. Though fires ravaged her upper decks, she was sunk on an even keel. What exactly happened during those closing days to her is still unclear though it is generally accepted she was bombed and scuttled by the retreating German forces. I believe CGT (French Line) considered restoring her but later opted for Europa. Italia then considered making her a one class immigrant liner to South America but the associated costs were too costly and it was decided to build new ships that were mid-sized. Italia learned that the superliners generated mediocre profits compared to their slower mid-sized vessels such as motor-ships Saturnia and Vulcania.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by LionheartPnshmnt (talk • contribs) 02:14, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
