Talk:Tower Island

message: According to some sources (e.g., http://www.niagarafrontier.com/power.html), one of the islands in the Niagara river, at the head of the Control Works (partial) dam (across from 4th street on the NY side), is also called Tower Island.  There does not appear at present to be an article on that island, however.  Does the ambiguity need to be mentioned here, or do we ignore it on the grounds that there's no article for the other one?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonadab (talk • contribs) 13:07, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: British Pathé news report

message: The section covering the general's time in Vietnam seems laudatory and fails to be objective. For example, the idea that he was respected by his enemy seems highly unlikely. Additionally, there is no context given. Vietnam was fighting for independence as a colony under the control of France. My understanding of that Franco-Vietnam conflict is that France got their asses handed to them and even with Eisenhower covering 80% of the cost of the conflict. The Vietnam war is an important historical event and I feel like this article is getting the history wrong by coming across as pro-France propaganda.

thread_title: Cross-channel

message: This text - "Lands End is where St George's Channel meets the English Channel (a cape is where two channels of water meet). The St George's Channel coastline is the coastline of north Cornwall and north Devon in the West Country, Pembrokeshire and Cardigan Bay in Wales and counties Wexford, Waterford and Cork in southern Ireland." - seems to refer to the older historical interpretation of the channel.  However, the opening paragraph states that that interpretation has now generally been superseded, by the interpretation that the term "St George's Channel" now refers to the stretch between Wexford and Pembrokeshire - the wider area between Ireland and Cornwall being generally now referred to as the Celtic Sea.  Unless there is a strong argument to the contrary, I suggest that the second paragraph should be rewritten for consistency.  Ghmyrtle (talk) 22:52, 14 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I have removed that information, and the map. Really the term "St George's Channel" is so ambiguous that I don't think any "content" (e.g. marine life, tides, etc) belongs here; it can less contetiously be put in Celtic Sea, Bristol Channel, Cardigan Bay, Irish Sea, or whatever. All that uncontroversially belongs in this article is a discussion of the many competing definitions of the term.  The only map that would be useful is one which shows all possible areas, rather than the area corresponding to one single definition. jnestorius(talk) 20:07, 18 September 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Viscose

message: Is it truly becoming less common because it's polluting? I consider myself to be a concious shopper, and I never knew rayon to be polluting so I can't imagine the average shopper knowing this and choosing other fabrics because of it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 19 September 2005‎ Mwparenteau (talk) 18:25
Viscose manufacture is indeed a very nasty polluting process - I worked for several years with the Viscose Development Co, the company set up by Cross & Bevan. It involves a 50% sodium hydroxide solution - deadly corrosive to all living things - and  Carbon Disulphide, which is a neurotoxin and extremely inflammable - the Viscose plant had a top priority rating with the fire service, who were to drop everything and attend any fire at the plant. The effluent from the regeneration process included large volumes of sulphates and sulphides in solution, which were very difficult to dispose of safely.
The smell from the plant could be "appreciated" from more than a mile around, if the wind was in the wrong direction.
It was altogether a filthy business which would never be permitted to be set up today.Emartuk (talk) 13:51, 13 January 2013 (UTC)

No, totally different people. The Redlegs you're talking about were pro-union militia formed in Kansas before and during the American civil war, where they fought against the Confederate guerrillas from Missouri. No conection with Barbados whatsoever - I believe they wore a red sash in their belts, hence the name.
On another note, I just want to say how fascinating i find this article, small though it is. I wrote an article on a war in 17th century Ireland, the POW's of which were transported to Barbados.

message: I'm not sure if Barbadosed should redirect here. 'Barbadosed' was a term used in the 17th century for someone who was kidnapped and sold to planters in Barbados (and elsewhere) and while it is probably true that many may have become 'redlegs' many other groups such as rebel prisoners, convicts, apprentices, servants and free labourers also became 'redlegs'. Richard S Dunn, Sugar and Slaves. The rise of the planter cloass in the English West Indies, 162-1713, , p69 suggests the term is similar to 'Shanghaied'.

Talk:Oberführer

message: I wanted to open up discussion on what the equivalent rank should be to Oberführer.  In the United States, most historians agree that its equivalent to Brigadier General, as it is often listed in German publication as "the first SS General rank".  The British, on the other hand, almost always have Oberführer listed as "Senior Colonel" in the publications I have seen.
The Waffen-SS did see the rank as a senior Colonel position, but SS regulations permitted those of the rank of Oberführer to wear SS-General lapels.  In my view, the rank is more closely associated with Brigadier, a British rank in a grey zone between Colonel and Major General. -Husnock 5Mar05
:The point, as I see it, is that a Brigadeführer most closely matches a Brigadier. Brigadier isn't in a grey area at all - a brigadier is a brigade commander, but just not a general. The British rank was Brigadier-General until 1922, and the rank of Brigadier has always been considered to be equivalent to a US Brigadier General. Waffen-SS divisions were in the main commanded by Gruppenführers. Divisions in the British and US Armies are almost invariably under Major-Generals. If Gruppenführer correlates to Major-General in terms of responsibility, then it is reasonable that Brigadeführer correlates to Brigadier(-General). And as the SS/Wehrmacht itself considered an Oberführer to be equivalent to a senior Oberst then this correlation seems to me to stand up to scrutiny. -- Necrothesp 14:22, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)

:Yeah, its always looked to me as if the nymphs were pulling the satyr into the water.  I've always thought of this as a metaphor for men's fear of commitment and being tied down.  The nymphs clearly want to bring the satyr into their world, that of the water.  And who knows, maybe the bath will do the satyr some good.  On the other hand there's always the possiblity they're trying to drown him.
