message: Always a good idea to check with Google before crying hoax. Removing speedy tag. Denni☯ 23:47, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)
:The nationalist and communist propaganda machine used to change the names of important historical figures. The case of Inocenţiu Micu-Klein is only an example of many. To google something is not automatically the right way to obtain the truth, because quantity did not speak obligatory for quality. --Mihai Andrei 19:18, 26 November 2005 (UTC)

message: The T12 GMC was the pilot vehicle for the M3 GMC.  The only difference between T12s and production M3s is the purpose built gun shield on the M3 replacing the sparse gun shield from the M2A3 carraige that the gun had been on previously that had been fitted to the T12.  Dunno anything about a T12 HMC, but this is the T12 GMC.

thread_title: T12 Issue

message: A WW2 US Army Armored Infantry rifle squad had 12 men. This total *includes* the driver, who was expected to act as another rifleman when dismounted and absolutely was a squad member. The M3 was also used to carry light machinegun and mortar squads also, but none of those squads had more than 12 men. So the M3 did indeed have 13 seats, but even at full strength no squad needed more than 12 seats.

message: Recently I read this article and realised that despite the detail and effort that had been put in by previous editors, the point had been reached where a major revision to the article was required.  The article had become much too long and was written in a style that was very difficult for the reader to follow.  Therefore, I have removed what I considered to be unnecessary detail, as well as work to improve the grammar and layout of the article.
I would really appreciate feedback from anybody interested in this famous ancient Greek general on the changes that I have made to the article.  Any additions to improve the quality and accuracy of the article would also be appreciated.  --Chaleyer61 12:54, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

message: The article states: "Unfortunately there was a four year hiatus before his second album was released..."  However, his first album was released in 1986 and his second in 1988.  Two years between albums can hardly be considered a 'hiatus'; most bands these days have a 2-3 year gap between albums due to touring, breaks, and time required to produce a follow-up.   Thus, you cannot blame an extended hiatus in regards to album performance.  I will update the article if I do not notice any changes in the next few days. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Visor4 (talk • contribs) 21:04, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Still, the Batman disambiguation page lists a few items not related to the fictional DC Comics character.  Virtually everything here listed concerns media featuring the Lee/Ditko creation Spider-Man.  If people are looking for the Spider-Man film, simply typing in "Spider-Man" and looking at the character's appearances in other media will solve the problem.  And personally, I don't see why more peope would search for the movie rather than the character of the same name who stars in said movie.  To me this page is totally unnecessary.

The Bristol and Gloucester Railway and the Birmingham and Bristol Railway agreed to merge on 28 January 1845, and they prepared a Parliamentary Bill to authorise it. (They proposed to call it the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, not the Birmingham and Bristol Railway.)
Before this could be carried into effect, Ellis of the Midland negotiated the takeover by the Midland Railway with the directors of the Bristol and Gloucester Railway, as the article suggests.
