Talk:Natalia Republic

message: I changed "battle at Nacombe River" to "Battle of Blood River" because I believe this is by far the most common name for the battle in English. I also changed "retalliation against the Zulus" to "victory over the Zulus" as the former seemed to be biased and did not reflect the truth neutrally, which was that the Zulus sought out the Voortrekkers at Blood River before giving battle. "To retalliate" suggests it was the Voortrekkers who sought out the Zulus to inflict revenge on them for murder of their companions. Booshank 02:03, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of ambassadors of the United Kingdom to Austria

message: I've edited this page, which was full of inaccuracies.  Notably, it counted didn't understand that some missions (like those of Lord John Russell or Lord Cowley or Lord Bath), were special missions, and that the previous ambassadors (Seymour, Loftus, Bloomfield) continued in their posts.

Talk:Moo goo gai pan

message: I saw this page in the "new pages" RSS feed and had to correct it.  The spelling is "Moo Goo Gai Pan", not "Moo Goo Guy Pan" as the original page had it.  Furthermore, the original text said only, "The dish consists of cubes of chicken white meat sautéed with assorted Chinese vegetables."  That text is a direct copy from this restaurant's online menu, including the incorrect spelling.
The American Heritage Dictionary says the dish is Cantonese, but I'd always heard it was an American creation, so I left that without resolution.

message: The article, prior to my edit of 26 June, stated that Huntford was 'born R. Horwitch'; this was unsourced. I expanded this to read 'Roland Horwitch' and provided this source: https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/40602/supplement/5663/data.pdf which supported this change in name. I include this information- now apparently unilaterally decided to be unworthy of inclusion by the same editor who quite impertinently reverted my edit as 'botched unnecessary' (sic)- should anyone have noted its absence from the article proper. Given the manner in which the aforementioned edit was received, let it be noted that I a) was not the editor who first added mention of his name having been 'R. Horwitch' and b) provided a source for a statement in the article that required one. Ashiyura (talk) 00:40, 2 November 2018 (UTC)

:The list also includes non-phenomena, such as mathematical concepts. It should probably be broken up or renamed. The distinction between "phenomena" and "scientific phenomena" eludes me, but mathematical concepts (theorems, probability distributions, etc.) certainly deserve a separate list.

message: I just stumbled on this page ... it seems silly. There are dozens of items under the letter "A" that don't appear here. Next, perusing just about any biography article will reveal a half-dozen different things named after any given individual, of which this list seems to pick out a random few -- e.g. the entry for Paul Dirac did not list his most important, most famous contribution! I question the wisdom of compiling this list: the biography pages will give a better, more complete, more accurate listing, so why are we trying to duplicate it here?? linas 03:43, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Sure, the list isn't as complete as it could be (integrating existing lists of eponymous concepts/phenomena in the various biographical Wikipedia articles), but it does also serve to point at Wikipedia's deficiencies: just count the red links. Wikipedia is still missing a lot of (admittedly minor) "effects" articles.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals.  So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

Talk:Argyraspides

message: *The aspis was the shield used by the Macedonian-style phalanx, smaller and lighter than the traditional Greek hoplon. The usual translation into English is "Silvershields."
*The argyraspides were the survivors of Alexander's foot companions, the elite portion of the phalanx, selected for size, speed, birth, and courage. Diodorus says most of them were over 60 years of age and were the most experienced, dangerous, and prestigious unit to participate in the wars of the Successors.
* The foot companions (pezetairoi) are also known as hypaspists (hypaspistai), "shield bearers" or "shield-bearing (companions)," as opposed to Alexanders lance-armed and shieldless cavalry complanions (hetairoi).
*The unit was probably founded by Phillip II, Alexander III's father.
*They turned on Eumenes because Antigonus had captured their baggage train, including all the souvenirs (and families) they had collected during their decades up-country with Alexander.
*While the rank and file was dispersed by Antigonos, the leadership (Antigenes and another gentleman whose name escapes me) was buried alive.
* The o in argyroaspides and chrysoaspides should be elided: argyraspides, chrysaspides "golden shields". --Fulminouscherub 21:17, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

message: I looked at the hurricane track map.  I assume this is from official source.  However, the white "dot" off the New Jersey coast is almost certainly too far out to sea (West).  The reason I say this is that I was in Margate, NJ (near Atlantic City) on the night of the storm and I remember, clearly, when the eye passed over.  So the center of the storm needed to be <1 eye radius from us... and it looks like the dot is farther offshore.

thread_title:  Huricane track 

message: I've looked over many tropical cyclones in the Atlantic, and the only time when the year in which the storm occurred is not listed in parenthesis next to the storm name is when the storm has had its name retired. For example, there is a page titled Hurricane Katrina, not Hurricane Katrina (2005), and the only reason why is because the name Katrina was retired. Even if a storm name is only used once, but not retired, such as Hurricane Fern (1971), has the year listed after it. Therefore to avoid confusion that wikipedia readers may think the name Belle was retired even thought it wasn't, I suggest that this page be moved from Hurricane Belle, to Hurricane Belle (1976), like all other non-retired storm names.

I doubt people seeing Hurricane Gracie would assume it was retired. Only people who know WPTC policy would assume either/or. The only reason for the year identifier is to disambiguate.
