Talk:Fort Pike

message: Here's a question for anyone who's more familiar with the subject than I am, or who knows where to find out:  Louisiana took control of Fort Pike in January 1861, and Louisiana joined the Confederacy less than a month later.  What were the circumstances there?  The Civil War Preservation Trust says "Fort Pike was turned over to the Louisiana Continental Guard."  The Louisiana State Historic Sites Web site, on the other hand, says "the Louisiana militia captured the fort...."  Those two versions imply very different circumstances.  Which is more accurate? -- Muffuletta 21:47, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 

message: The current article doesn't make sense stating: "The Union reclaimed the fort in 1862 while resident troops were engaged at the Battle of Vicksburg.[3][4]"  The siege (not battle) of Vicksburg was in mid-1863, not 1862.  Secondly, one of the citations is to a dead link, and the other states that it was taken in 1862 when New Orleans fell which appears to be accurate.  The actual Fort Pike State Historical Site web page has a better explanation. Red Harvest (talk) 06:50, 15 March 2014 (UTC)

Talk:National Security Archive/Archive 1

message: I would disagree that the NSA is a 'left-leaning' organization.  I would say it is 'indepedent'.  NSA doesn't state a position on this on their home page - they only say they are a 'non-governmental, non-profit institution'.  I searched for 'left-leaning National Security Archive', 'right-leaning National Security Archive', and a few other combos and permutations and found nothing.  I did find plenty of links from all sorts of newspapers/websites/publication to 'independent National Security Archive'.  Anecdotally, from looking at their site, and seeing a live presentation, I know they work like crazy to declassify documents in every U.S. Administration, regardless of Dem/Repub.
I would disagree that the NSA has any position on 'the Bush administration's Middle East policy'.  The NSA strives for government openness, so they'll always be the scourge of current and former presidents, and will always be a powerful tool for democracy.  I've seen nothing on ther website, and nothing written in articles/etc., to suggest they have any position on any government policy, ever - except for the classification of materials and things related.  They've strongly advocated for government openness, but that's it, that I know of.
I didn't make changes b/c I'm scared after wrecking something last time I tried, and orig author seems to feel pretty strongly that NSA is a lefty org.
Thanks.

thread_title: Dispute

message: If NSA typically relies on FOIA requests to get information, the term veiled in secrecy does not apply, and really the original wording, which was "otherwise be known" is more accurate.  Does NSA affect the declassification of documents?  If they do, the new wording is more appropriate.  My research so far seems to reflect that the original writing is more accurate.  -Vina 10:55, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Rundlet

message: The conversion between the units seems to be partly wrong.
For example one gallon equals to one gallone (US/wine and imperical). Thus you would assume, that the conversion factor between rundlet and gallon is identical for the imperical gallon as well as the us gallon.
There are two rows with litres as the unit. The conversion factor between the old imperical units and litres are different for both row. Which row has the correct conversion factor?

Talk:Invention (musical composition)

message: I'm confused; some of the two-part inventions written by Bach don't seem to follow this scheme! For example, invention 2 doesn't repeat the theme in the dominant key at any point; the same goes for invention 9.
Piotr
*Not all pieces written in a style conform precisely to the musical form. Even very rigid forms such as the fugue show a great deal of variety and deviation from the ideal in the hands of master composers like Bach and Mozart. The invention is much more flexible in form since it is not as "serious" a piece of music as a fugue, so one would expect someone like Bach to take great liberties in their composition. The presentation of the structure of an invention in this article is just the "ideal" or "typical" form of an invention. Splat 01:35, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

Category talk:Former provinces of Thailand

message: copy from User_talk:Tobias Conradi
I don't think it makes sense to have substubs, which de facto are nothing else but redirects to the present day province of Cambodia, or the district which is the successor of the former province. At the beginning of the 20th century these provinces were more-or-less just the "capital" town, the surrounding territory was only sparsly populated, not like the modern day provinces - as described in Monthon or Provinces of Thailand these provinces ceased to exist during the conversion into the modern administrative units. Thus IMHO all which would be said in Siamreap Province or Loam Sak Province is nothing but the history section of the present day entity. Only if that section would get too long it IMHO makes sense to split it into two articles. andy 22:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I like to see on one view what happened to XY Province. Redirect do not do this. And I like the :category:Former provinces of Thailand, which gives a quick overview of not anymore existing provinces. IMO it enriches WP. Whether historic provinces of Thailand would be a better title I don't know. What I would like to see one day is templates for these entities, stating creating time, population, area, etc. similiar to current entities. There are also country pages for former countries. IMO the same for subdivisions is nice. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 22:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The "Aachen (district, before 1975)" thing was as a problem in my mind allready. I still have no answer that I would like. Maybe my rule here is: name change or/and ownership change (country change). I will stop creating new articles. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 23:19, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

message: The Louvre site says the code of Hammurabi is of basalt.   
Should it be removed or discussed in the article?
The Code of Hammurabi Stele is made of basalt, not diorite. Please correct.
Diorite is harder than basalt.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.133.228.216 (talk) 05:21, 25 August 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed the Code of Hammurabi text from the article because the cited source reference (the Louvre in Paris, where the object is displayed) failed verification - the cited source states that the object is made of basalt. Searches on Google Scholar show that academic sources are divided about its composition. Some claim basalt, some claim diorite. All the sources that I found are archaeological/historical not geological, so their reliability may be sub-optimal. For archive reference, here is the text that I removed from the article:   "Perhaps the most famous diorite work extant is the Code of Hammurabi, inscribed upon a 2.23 m (7 ft 4 in) pillar of black diorite.

He became a competitive orienteer, so much so that he was the 2003 United States Orienteering Champion in his age group, He was also a competitive table tennis player including competing in Texas state (finishing in the top 4 in the 75+ age category) and U.S. championship events and also the 2017 World Masters Games in Auckland, New Zealand.<ref> Snell was also a formidable tennis player, although the article doesn't say so.

I have no problem with it being changed back to "athlete"; I update quite a few of these articles and for the majority a more specific description is often better than "athlete" as many athletes are known for one discipline.
