Talk:Handcar

message: The article doesn't explain how push trolleys work. Someone should add that. 68.6.88.47 (talk) 20:46, 6 April 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  How do they work? 

message: How fast were they if there was a slight slope - let's say 1% - upwards? — On flat ground, one could keep a relatively high "cruising speed"? 10 kmh? 30 kmh? 60 kmh? — Was it common with more than one gear ratio to make it easier/possible to climb slopes without getting off and push? — It is easy to get anything on steel wheels rolling on flat rails, but I guess handcars were much heavier than normal bicycles, and since I have no idea about the gear ratio(s) I don't know if the people had to get off and push it if the rails went more or less uphill.
This article needs much more details because modern people may possibly know more about jet engines than they do about handcars. Of course the answers to the above questions depends on the people powering them so there can not be exact answers, but it should be possible to give some typical figures.  I assume that modern handcars are being made, possibly of modern light materials, but I think info on old-fashioned handcars are more important because they were of importance in their time, not just a plaything. Urbanus Secundus (talk) 14:04, 28 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Speed varied a lot depending on the design of the handcar and the strength of its user so it is difficult to speak accurately without going  on a case by case basis. Since trains do not do well on slopes it is a functional requirement that all railways have a relatively gentle grade, so there is usually not much issue with slopes in any case.

Was there a switch to a length of side track every 10 miles to get the handcar out of the way of a train or were these things light enough for one person to lift on and off the tracks when needed?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.119.204.117 (talk) 22:20, 7 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Black Prince (tank)

message: This information about the crews adding M3 75mm cannon in favor of the ROQF 6 pounder to upgun their Churchills is just plain off. The 6 pounder was a far superior anti-tank piece. The only reason that I can think of for changing the 6 pounder out in favor of the M3 75mm was ammo standardization.But don't dis the M3 75mm gun.
:I suspect that what the writer was referring-to was the creation of ad-hoc CS versions of the tank. For a Gun Tank, the 6 pdr was undoubtably superior, but the weapon had no HE shell, being purely an anti-tank weapon. British tanks were at that time classified in either Gun Tank or Close Support (CS) versions, the Gun Tank was the 'normal' vehicle, armed to fight other tanks and the CS version was armed with a gun capable of firing a HE shell and intended for giving close support to infantry, hence the name.

Talk:Burning of the Clavie

message: Never read such a load of old tosh - so much for Encyclopedia Brittanica!
The clavie was traditionally half of an Archangel tar barrel nailed to the top of a salmon fishers' pole with a hand wrought nail. Archangel tar barrels being in short supply, a whisky barrel has been used instead - and nowadays, the barrel is hand made by the Clavie King himself.
The clavie is filled with wood (from the other half of the barrel), peats and doused with tar or creosote.
After carrying the Clavie on its route through the streets of Burghead it is placed in a stone pillar or altar on top of the Doorie hill. More fuel is added and the hill itself usually ends up ablaze. The remains of the Clavie is hacked to pieces and the crowd scrambles to secure a charred remnant to ensure good luck for the coming year.

message: I've removed these from the article based on the following rationale:
# The Wine screenshot is original research. The game is not supported on Linux, and that it runs is not particularly notable - plenty of Windows applications run on Wine. WP:SCREEN (which is not an official guideline, but is generally followed by the project's screen shots) recommends that screen shots use the default configuration of an application - running it on an unsupported platform certainly isn't the default.
# The list of online gaming sites / communities is inappropriate for a number of reasons. Wikipedia is not a portal or game guide; it does not exist to advertise external communities; and there are no secondary sources which indicate the notability of these sites.

Talk:Badge of Military Merit

message: Please read the archive. I also attempted to get help with the article on the task force page. (no reply) There appears to be some controversy about whether the awards made after the first three are indeed the Badge of Military Merit. I'm not sure if the claim that the subsequent awards are also BMMs is wishful thinking from descendents or something on which historians need to do more research. "Lost" history, if you will. Scholarly references are needed. Many websites, including purpleheart.org, are starting to use this page as reference, which complicates web-only research. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the topic is controversial. A reliable source noting the controversy would be a good addition, even if the question is not resolved.
