Talk:George Raft

message: Brining back discussion of this as still an issue. Yes, Raft does say on the Mike Douglas Show that he was born in 1895, and yes that is the date on his grave. However, there is also convincing written evidence that he was born 6 years later - namely pre-fame census results and SSI info. And it's worth pointing out that Raft had publicly given different years of birth during his lifetime and there are a number of his cultural peers who appear to have incorrect birth years on their graves (Bing Crosby, Irene Dunne, Walter Huston, Joan Crawford, Hattie McDaniel to name a few) so definitely not a clear cut case. I wonder if anyone has ever tried to obtain his birth certificate? It would be good to nail this down at nearly 45 years after his death. So any discussion or further evidence please present here.

thread_title:  Imperial Japanese Marines Uniforms 

message: This article describes the JNLF as “marines” while the SNLF are described as “naval infantry.” 
Unless I’m very much mistaken, it would seem that the JNLF was simply ad-hoc units of naval personnel put-together for offensive or defensive operations as-necessary. Whereas the SNLF was a more permanent force of professional infantry.
The aforementioned SNLF article even specifies (in the “History” section):
”Since the late Meiji Era, the IJN had naval landing forces or rikusentai formed from individual ships's crews, who received infantry training as part of their basic training, for special and/or temporary missions. In addition, troops from Naval Bases known as Kaiheidancould form a naval landing force.”
To me, this would indicate that the NLF would be more appropriately described as “naval infantry” with the SNLF being the more permanent and professional “marines.”
My contention is thus; While there are naval infantry units whose primary task is indeed infantry operations (typically units explicitly titled as “naval infantry,” such as the Russian Naval Infantry) it also describes ad-hoc units of non-infantry naval personnel employed temporarily or semi-permanently as infantrymen. Whereas “marines” are personnel that have explicitly (if not exclusively) received infantry training and whose units are raised to take advantage of this.
I’ll also post this to the SNLF’s talk page.

message: I have seen an electric conversion and made some photos, but now I am confused by "Carry" and "Supercarry". 
Is this electric car a Carry or Supercarry? 
What is the difference?
:take another look at the photo, that's a supercarry. As i understand it there is a carry and that was what succeeded the supercarry, it has a bigger engine and the engine is front mounted instead of under the drivers seat, but I'm no expert on these things --Shadebug 17:39, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Electric conversion 

message: A recent edit states that this model is related to the Suzuki Supercarry and specifically not to the Carry, which directly contradicts the still-present article lead. This needs to be clarified; in turn, the Carry article makes no mention of the Supercarry so there is presumably a bit of a hole in our information about this model line. – Kieran T (talk) 10:50, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The editor concerned (on an IP talk page) is confident of the info, so I've incorporated it in a cleanup of the page. However, I'm sure we're missing something because the Suzuki Carry article carries a link to the Commons, where a bunch of images of what is clearly this vehicle, are labelled as being the Suzuki Carry, not the Super Carry... so perhaps the "super" is a British or European, but not worldwide, appendage — or worse, just an edition/model tag. Must be clarified, and should form part of the merger discussion. – Kieran T (talk) 08:57, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Correlates of War

message: Wow, fascinating theory, and a great article overall. I have a bit of a concern with the last sentence "earning the full faith of the CIA, think tanks, and government cabals worldwide." though... it seems a bit non neutral in point of view, or at least snarky. Maybe it's just supposed to be funny? At any rate, in my view it detracts from an otherwise fine article. Can we get a cite to the use of the term "government cabals"? The article could also benefit from more cites in general. It's outside my area of expertise so I can't be the person to provide them.   ++Lar: t/c 15:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
