Talk:The Black Velvet Band

message: What does the phrase 'black velvet band' actually mean? Why that phrase as opposed to pink spotted bunkadoo or the yellow striped band or the standing on one leg, facing north and urinating against an electrical socket band? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.157.186.91 (talk • contribs) 
:Simple. It's the black velvet band worn by the girl in the song. Heck, it's in the chorus, even. As to why that phrase, you'd probably have to ask whoever wrote the song... Brittany Ka 22:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Holy Jesus! "Her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a Black velvet Band". I suppose that's a pint of the black stuff? LOL!

message: "The first monarch to style himself King of Spain was Philip II, son of Charles, who was King of Castile and Aragon, among other possessions. Nevertheless the kingdom of Castile existed on its own right within the Spanish crown and with its own law until the arrival of the Bourbon dynasty after the War of Spanish Succession"
To avoid confusions, I think it should be noted that by the and until the 19th century, "Spain" was a geographical name meaning "Peninsula Iberica", not a plitical one. "Spain" as we all know now did not yet exist, by then the Peninsula was made up by different nations that were ruled by the same king. Each nation had its own laws, civil rights... it was something similar as to nowaday's Britain and Canada, they share Queen but that's all they share.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.227.38.85 (talk) 12:51, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

replies: text: The kings of Asturias, León, Galicia and Castile share a single numbering, which they also share with the later kings of Spain. This numbering excludes the earlier counts of Castile, however. Thus there are thirteen Alfonsos, but the first king of Castile with that name was Alfonso VI, who was also king of León. Alfonso VIII never ruled León and Alfonso IX never ruled Castile. The last two Alfonso were kings of Spain only and the first three of Asturias only. All these monarchs ruled kingdoms that originated as one (Asturias) and were intermittently divided and reunited. García I ruled León, but García II ruled Galicia. The first king of Castile was Sancho II in 1065. The third Ferdinand of León was the second of Castile, but after him the kings are known predominantly as kings of Castile (the bigger realm by that time) and the kingdoms are permanently united.

message: The following will help clarify du Chatelet's contribution.
:::These were the issues Emilie wanted to explore further. No one had synthesized the thinking of Leibniz and Newton before. Why couldn't she, showing how the best ideas of both their systems could be combined? It would be a step beyond her uncredited co-authorship of that recap of Newton's basic work that she and Voltaire had written at Cirey. Other researchers wouldn't consider undertaking the new syntheses she had in mind, for they were all, very distinctly, either in the Newton camp or in the Leibniz camp. But once again there were advantages in being excluded from the main science academies. Emilie was far enough outside that she could view them both objectively.Bodanis, D. (2006). Passionate Minds: Emilie du Châtelet, Voltaire, and the Great Love Affair of the Enlightenment, Crown, NY, , from Chapter 15, "Leibniz's world".

thread_title: Cargo pockets

message: Is whoever wrote this just making things up about when they were invented and popular?
I have no idea if they were "invented" in the UK in the 1970s, but I know the assertion that they didn't become used in the US until the late 1990s is wrong.  I was given a pair of cotton cargo pants by a friend in 1990 or 1991 and then I was mugged at knife point while wearing them on in San Francisco in 1991. I remember this distinctly since the muggers cut through the pockets that were sewn on to the outside of the pants as they were trying to find anything else of value to take.  You don't forget your pockets being sliced a few inches from your flesh by a crack-crazed mugger and his crack-crazed pal.
So, maybe this bit could use a bit more research cause I'm pretty sure it's not 100% true.

message: The comments above show disagreement as to the size and nature of jetties, and this is reflected in various dictionary definitions:
* According to the Oxford English Dictionary (UK English):
** A landing stage or small pier at which boats can dock or be moored
** A breakwater constructed to protect or defend a harbour, stretch of coast, or riverbank
* According to Cambridge Advanced Learners Dictionary (UK English):
** A wooden or stone structure built in the water at the edge of a sea or lake and used by people getting on and off boats
* According to Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary (US English):
** A structure built out from the land into the water as a landing place for boats or as protection from waves
* According to Merriam Webster (US English)):
** A long structure that is built out into water and used as a place to get on, get off, or tie up a boat
** A structure extended into a sea, lake, or river to influence the current or tide or to protect a harbor
There are other, less ambiguous terms corresponding to the the various definitions — pier, wharf, breakwater, and so on. With that in mind, I would suggest that this confusing article be restructured as something closer to a disambiguation page. —Stephen Morley (talk) 16:31, 7 December 2014 (UTC)
