Talk:French ship Napoléon (1850)

message: Battle steamboats were used by the Greeks during the Greek Revolution. For example, “Karteria”, built in 1825 in England. Karteria” was Greece’s first national steam-powered vessel and was used for military operations since the Revolution was not over yet.
:"Karteria" was a steam-powered vessel, but certainly not a battleship (ie a line-of-battle warship, typically with 2 or 3 broadside decks).PHG 21:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  battle steamboats 

message: Removed the line:
"In the end, France and Great-Britain were the only two countries to develop fleets of steam battleships."
since it seems incorrect. See, for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_German_steam_battleships
:Thank you. I rechecked the article, and I realized that what is meant is "wooden steam battleships". I will rewrite with more details. PHG 21:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Steam Battleship 

message: I think there's a delicious irony in including a quote (at the end) by the ship's namesake:
:"What, sir, would you make a ship sail against the wind and currents by lighting a bonfire under her deck? I pray you, excuse me, I have not the time to listen to such nonsense."
:Napoleon Bonaparte, when told of Robert Fulton’s steamboat, circa 1800
This quote found its way into the popular PC game Civilization 4 (where a player controls human history) and appears when a player discovers the secret of the steam engine (and is narrated by the notable voice of Leonard Nimoy).  I would also suggest adding the quote to Fulton's article, again either as an example of skepticism or trivia included at the end. Bobak 16:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

message: Did anyone else catch the parallel theme of Japanese militarism?

thread_title:  Theme section 

message: The Controversy section of the article speaks of scenes being "optically censored" and even "optically reframed", the latter being something I never heard of. Can anyone explain what they actually mean?
Does "optically censored" mean cut, or blacked out, or blurred, or pixellated, or something else? And what is "optically reframed"? My imagination fails me when I try to imagine that, and if the article was clearly written, I would not be struggling to imagine it anyway — it should be clear. — O'Dea (talk) 13:25, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

message: The initial version of this article presented this name all letters lower-case. I followed the Wikipedia policy for personal names that states
:As proper nouns these names are always first-letter capitalized
and changed the name to Brian D Foy. Randal reverted my edit back to the all lower case variant, citing the style guide from the private homepage of brian d foy. Apparently, we got here a conflict between the style guide of Wikipedia and the personal style guide of a name holder. IMHO, we should see if a consensus can be found for this deviation from the Wikipedia style guide. Otherwise, we should conform to it. --AFBorchert 07:15, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: brian d foy prefers to be published with that case, so I would prefer following the name-holder's style guide, as with the precedents of bell hooks and k. d. lang.  The issue might be worth raising in a larger form, since Wikipedia:Capitalization isn't exactly in accord with Wikipedia:Proper names on this issue, as the former suggests variants from Wikipedia policy are tolerated, and the latter doesn't mention variants.

Talk:Alexander von Humboldt

message: I wonder what was this category doing in the article. 
On the one hand, the article does not have any factual proof, quote, or direct historical statement, to afirm that Humbolt was indeed homosexual. In the own words of the author of Colonialism and Homosexuality, Robert F. Aldrich, whether Humboldt was homosexual or not, "a definite answer is impossible." They are only speculations, and a pair of unproven spoken accounts are not enoough for a serious article, I believe. I think there is not sufficient evidence to affirm that Humboldt was gay, so I remove the category. Only with the evidence available in this article, he would be better classified among the category of the "suspected of".
On the other hand, the question of whether he was a Christian, I've just researched and finished the section of his religion, showing what I found. In view of the evidence, I would say that what he wrote shows his respect for Christianity and other religions. We might speculate and say he might have simpathized with Liberal Christianity/Unitarianism/Deism, but I couldn't find any place in which he stated the belief in Christ as Savior or Messiah, the basic tennet of all Christians. So there is neither sufficient evidence to affirm that Humboldt was a Christian. If there is further evidence, I would love to know it. But only with the evidence available in this article, he would be better classified among the category of theists. --Goose friend (talk) 06:16, 6 January 2015 (UTC)

message: Fun fact. Just sharing."...a Berlin paper relates how AvH once took advantage of the exemption from duty (taxes) of the covering of articles free from duty, formerly if not now the rile in France. In the year 1805, he and Guy Lussac were in Partis engaged in their experiments on the composition of air. The two scientists found themselves in need of a large number of glass tubes. This article was exceedingly dear in France at the time, and the rate of impost upon imported glass tubes was something alarming. Humblodt sent an order to Germany for the needed articles, and gave directions that the manufacturer should seal up the tubes at both ends and put a label upon each tube with the words "Deutche Luft" (German air). The air of Germany was an article upon which there was no duty, and the tubes were passed by the customs officers without any demand, and arrived free of duty in the hands of the two experimenters"Scientific American, 11-Feb-1882, pp 85, https://books.google.com/books?id=zoE9AQAAIAAJ&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=snippet&q=carbonic%20oxide&f=falseSloppyTots (talk) 00:35, 3 June 2021 (UTC)
