Talk:Jacques Balmat

message: Jacques Balmat (1762-1834) was savoisien. The Duchy of Savoy  became  french in 1860, until this date was integrant part of Kingdom of Piemont-Sardaigne "Sardinia"  that in 1860 became Kingdom of France . All his historical heritage is part of the italian history .  In Savoy , french history is starting after 1861. --Shardan 16:33, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

text: "Savoy was occupied by French revolutionary forces between 1792 and 1815. The region was first added to the département of Mont-Blanc, then in 1798 was divided between the départements of Mont-Blanc and Léman (French name of Lake Geneva.)" - From the Wikipedia article on Savoy.  So it appears that Balmat lived in territory that was French for 23 years of his life.  His name is French and he spoke French.  Is it proper to call Savoy "Italian"?  I know that the kings had Italian names and PART of the territory spoke Italian, but was there an "Italian" nationality at that time?  Is it not more correct to say that Balmat was Savoyard and French?  Jim Heaphy (talk) 04:00, 6 December 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: France was occupied by Hitler between 1940 and 1944: I do not think that French people born during nazist occupation should be considered as germans. Same think for Sardinian people from Kingdom of Sardinia born during Napoleonic occupation. Savoy become french in 1860.

The Kingdom of Sardinia did not become a part of Italy as a whole in 1865, a large part of it joined France.

Talk:Maximilian von Alopaeus

message: Here's initial version:
"His elder brother, Maxim Maximovich (1748 - 1822) studied theology in Åbo and Hettingen. After finishing the university he devoted himself to the diplomatic career and became the count Panin's secretary. In 1783 Alopeus was appointed resident-minister at court of the Bishop of Lübeck where he maintained the correspondence between Cesarevich Pavel with Friedrich II. In 1789 Alopeus was sent to Berlin where he stayed for 6 years, gained favor from Friedrich-Wilhelm II and secured the signing of allied treaty between Russia and Prussia. During the reign of Emperor Pavel A. was out of work. In 1802 A. was appointed envoy at the Prussian court. The rapprochement of Russia and Prussia took place extensively thanks to A. In 1807 A. was sent to London as an ambassador extraordinary, but the Tilsit Treaty soon put his mission to the end. A. participated in the Aachen congress". --Brand спойт 16:36, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Cholmondeley

message: Surely Featherstonehaugh has more silent letters
It seems like a silly measurement to include in an article unless there are notable instances of this being referenced elsewhere. The number of "pronounced letters" is at least similar for the two names. Furthermore isn't this a proper name, so there have to be many competitors, especially from Wales? 
Anyway, to play the game, how do you compare the names:
English               	IPA          	Phonetic
Featherstonehaugh (18)	/ˈfænʃɔ:/ (6)	(“fanshaw”)
Cholmondeley (12)     	/ˈtʃʌmli/ (6)	(“chumly”)
or maybe
FeAthrStoneHAUgh(18) FANSHAU?(7)
CHOlMondeLeY(12) CHOMLY?(6)
They both seem to turn what looks like four syllables into two, and even have similar types of sounds:
f - l
a - y
n - m
sh - ch
aw - u

Talk:Battle of Kalbajar

message: As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I'm specifically going over all of the "Conflicts, battles and military exercises" articles. I believe the article currently meets the majority of the criteria and should remain listed as a Good article. In reviewing the article, I have found there are some issues that may need to be addressed, and I'll leave the article on hold for seven days for them to be fixed. I have added two fact tags that need inline citations for the statements. Also, reword this statement in the intro, it doesn't flow very well: "A raion that was surrounded by several canyons and an elevated mountain range known as the Mrav Mountains, Armenian forces from four different directions including Armenia proper, attacked and captured a space of over 1,900 kilometers, linking it with region of Nagorno-Karabakh and opening a second "corridor" for Armenia to send aid through." If these are not addressed within seven days, the article may be delisted. If improved after it has been delisted, it may be nominated at WP:GAC. I don't see that being a problem since these should be easy to fix. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page. Regards, --Nehrams2020 08:08, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Virginia's 11th congressional district

message: "In 2008, Barack Obama won this district over Republican Senator John McCain in similar margins that Bush did against his opponents." Really? It's listed further down Obama had 57% compared to Bush's 50 and 52% respectively. Is a 5 to 7% swing considered a "similar" margin by a respected political source? If the statement can be referenced, then it should stay in, however if not it should be removed. Also Tom Davis was moderate as Republicans go, so I'm not convinced that the district was ever as far to the Right as it is made out to be.  Can anyone confirm or refute my thinking on this?

Lift chairs can be useful for individuals who have a hard time getting in and out of a chair such as individuals with arthritis, a neuromuscular disease, or knee pain. All lift chairs have a maximum weight capacity. They can be as low as 250 pounds for petite sized chairs up to 700 pounds for extra-wide sized chairs. Using a lift chair that has a lower maximum capacity than one's weight can nullify its warranty. 
;Types
There are two basic types:
* Three position lift chairs: these chairs feature a sitting position, reclining position, and lift position. Usually, the footrest and back move together and can not be moved independently.
* Infinite position (also called "Zero Gravity") lift chairs: these chairs allow for independent movement of the back and footrest. The chair can go into any position the user wants as there are no preset positions. The chair can lie totally flat and some models can go into the Trendelenburg position, where the feet are higher than the heart.
;Features
Some lift chairs can come with massage and heat functions.
;Delivery
Usually, lift chairs are delivered from the manufacturer by freight. The package is dropped at the drive and in-home delivery is not included. One must pay extra to have the delivery company deliver the chair into one's home as well as assembly it, if assembly is required. Note that lift chairs usually weigh at least 100 pounds. Take this into consideration when planning delivery.
;Lifting cushions
There are also lifting cushions available on the market as an alternative to lift chairs. These are placed on any stable seating surface. A cable connect the seat to an outlet and, when activated, the seat raises to push the sitter out of the chair.
;Safety
Lift chairs can pose an entrapment hazard. Most lift chairs include a backup battery in case of power outage.
