Talk:Adrián Woll

message: The comment that Adrian Woll was returning to his base camp on the Rio Grande, and defeated the Texan forces on September 18, is entirely incorrect. Woll's forces were still in occupation of San Antonio on 9/18. Texan forces gathered in force on the Salado, to the northeast of the town. (The Rio Grande is in the opposite direction.) The Mexicans marched out in force, and gave battle. The Mexicans had heavy casualties, and withdrew, which is a defeat, not victory. The Texans lost but one or two men killed. In a seperate incident, but actually part of the same military campaign, was the Dawson Massacre, in which Mexican cavalry caught Texan reinforcements in the open. A force of 53 was either killed, wounded and/or captured. During the night, Woll withdrew his force. The incident was a victory for the Texans, as it kept Woll from continuing on to the capital at Austin. The incident on the Arroyo Hondo did take place as Woll and his forces were withdrawing to Mexico. Ret 77375 (talk) 01:54, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

Category talk:Novels by Erich Kästner

message: This category (Novels by Erich Kästner) is categorised as :Category:Children's novels and :Category:German children's literature. While the current list of members of this category () consists only of Kästner's children's novels, not all of Kästner's novels can be categorised as such – e.g. see :de:Fabian (Roman). If an article on that novel sould ever be written on the English Wikipedia, it would wrongly be classified as a children's novel.

Talk:Citrine (mineral)

message: I have no idea where this name came from, it's not quoted in any of the primary references, the only references to it on Google appear to be, or are likely to have been, quoted from this page.
More specifically, it is not mentioned on mindat.org, it's not mentioned in Hey's Mineral Index (3rd Edition) by A.M.Clark, it's not mentioned in the Glossary of Obsolete Mineral Names (P.Bayliss), or Glossary of Mineral Synonyms by J. de Fourestier.
Whether it's meant to mean "false citrine", perhaps in connection to the fact that 99% of commercial citrine is artificially created by heat-treating low-grade amethyst, or whether it's because the word 'fortz' is (apparently) yiddish for fart, we'll never know.
I'm going to remove it now, if anyone wants to put it back in PLEASE list a primary reference that hasn't just taken it from Wikipedia.

message: I was also suspicious of the following:
 Brazil is the leading producer of naturally mined citrine, with much of its production 
 coming from the state of Rio Grande do Sul.International Colored 
 Gemstone Association page on citrine 
Firstly, as far as I know the vast majority, if not all, citrine exported from Rio Grande do Sul is heat-treated Amethyst. Practically every specimen sold in shops and on ebay is created in this way. There are people with vested commercial interests who would prefer people believed it was natural. So. I checked the reference given, and it gives NO information at all about the mining of Citrine in Rio Grande do Sul. I am going to remove the reference and the words 'naturally mined'.
Other references to this 'gemstone.org' article (which to be fair is a reasonably accurate article) don't seem to tie up with the facts as mentioned - the article doesn't mention that citrine was regarded as protection against snake venom, for example. Either the article has been considerably rewritten since it was quoted from, or someone has given the wrong reference for their facts.

Talk:The Flying Classroom

message: "The main characters are Martin, the first student of the class, Jonathan, an orphan who was adopted by a captain, Matz, Uli and Sebastian, students from the Tertia (Year 8)."
Evidently Martin is the first student. Is Jonathan the orphan? If so then [a] that conflicts with section Characters, "cast away by his parents"; [b] there seem to be five friends rather than six, and the list of characters does evidently names five. 
Is that a captain in the German armed forces or a school or local position? All five or six are students from the Tertia, right? How many years are there? At this point "Tertia (Year 8)" may suggest final year to many readers (a la "terminal" and U.S.A. once required 8 years). Are all students males, thus boys at this age? If so, say so.
--P64 (talk) 19:04, 17 January 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Jonathan is cast away, though I don't quite remember whether he was a half-orphan. He travelled from the USA to Hamburg, at any rate, expected to be fetched by his grandparents, and they are dead. The word "captain" (Kapitän), to the German reader, suggests not a military degree (that would be Hauptmann) but a shipmaster (though in one adaption, he was instead a "pilot-in-command", the German word for which is Flugkapitän or "flight captain"). The traditional classes of a German gymnasium (which are known to today's German students precisely from this book and in no other way, so, the reading experience is the same) are enumbered from above in Latin, where Prima, Secunda and Tertia take two years and the other ones one year each: Sexta (Year 5 after four years of primary school), Quinta (year 6), Quarta (year 7), Lower Tertia (year 8), Upper Tertia (year 9), Lower Secunda (year 10), Upper Secunda (Year 11), Lower Prima (Year 12), Upper Prima (Year 13) and after the thirteenth year of school (and ninth of Gymnasium), school is over (though nowadays often after year 12). - All Students are, indeed, boys. --131.159.79.171 (talk) 16:50, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Green "Amethyst"

message: I suggest that this article should be renamed back to "Prasiolite", which is the much more common name for this green variety of quartz. 
The page was originally named "Prasiolite" but was renamed to "Vermarine" on 4 June 2016 by User:Asarelah to "avoid confusion with praseolite". I have not found any discussion on article Talk pages e.g. seeking opinions or consensus about renaming "Prasiolite" to "Vermarine" before the rename occurred on 4 June 2016.
On Google search, I get 560,000 hits for "prasiolite" and 20,000 hits for "vermarine" (and 10,900 hits for "praseolite"). Prasiolite is the dominant scientific name and  vermarine is mostly used in  gem/jewellery/new age "crystal healing" contexts. Even the source references used in this article use prasiolite instead of vermarine. I think the current situation with this mineral article, which now uses the much less common synonym to avoid alleged confusion with another (less well-known) mineral, would be like trying to rename the "Silver" article to "Argentum" to avoid confusing it with Quicksilver - not a good idea. I suggest that this article's title should be reverted to "Prasiolite", along with a standard "not to be confused with praseolite" warning at the top of the page, and any associated redirects should be removed or swapped back to how things were before 4 June 2016. 
I'm interested to read any comments and advice about my suggested rename.

Talk:Depreciated

message: Remeber that depreciation in computer software is it's lack of value to maintain it, as well as to denounce.  So both words can be used interchangably and using it is not bad grammar. Aidanjt 16:29, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: While it's interesting to note similarity between the words, it is in fact incorrect to use "depreciate" when the computer science term "deprecate" is required. Note that the definition of deprecate includes this CS-related meaning, while the defintion of depreciate does not. To clarify: to deprecate is to express disapproval of or to present arguments against something, while to depreciate is to lessen the value of. While deprecating an element of a program or language may often lessen its value, this is certainly not the goal of deprecation; instead, deprecating such an element strictly means that its usage is urged against, disapproved of, or not recommended. For example, although it would be bad practice, one could deprecate a feature without providing a replacement for it. In such an instance, the value of the deprecated feature has not been decreased at all for those who need it, it's use has merely been urged against. john factorial (talk) 17:55, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Evidence that "Invective" is in the public domain is now cited, and more will come if I can find a 
first edition of Harmonium with the venues for previously published poems. Also subjunctive mood 
and qualifiers like "arguably" and "perhaps" have been employed, by way of tacking toward NPOV. Buttel's The Making of Harmonium has first-publication information for all poems in its index, but "Invective Against Swans" isn't listed in the index, so Buttel isn't helpful in this instance. This is too bad, because his book has been out since 1967 and hasn't been contradicted with regard to its first-publication information. Rats 16:55, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
