Talk:Laurentius Andreae

message: Please see my note in the talk page for Olaus Petri, whose article I revised today and tried to conform with this one (but don't have time to do more). He and Laurentius Andreae received death sentences in January 1540, which were commuted two years later, but Gustav Vasa's article doesn't mention either that assassination attempt, conspiracy or kerfuffle.Jweaver28 (talk) 22:00, 20 April 2014 (UTC)

Talk:United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus

message: The article says that the force has suffered 176 military fatalities.  It'd be useful to note in generalities how these came about.  Were UN soldiers actually shot by either side, or by civilians?  Or were they all in accidents? --Delirium 21:48, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Content missing

message: Evening folks! Having just returned from a two-month detachment to RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus where I learned a great deal about UN operations on the island and spent time in the Buffer Zone, I'd like to propose a merger of United Nations Peacekeeping Force in Cyprus with United Nations Buffer Zone in Cyprus. This is because the two articles are both relatively short, start class, and duplicate a lot of information between them. I would suggest the resulting article be structured with sections covering operations before 1974, the buffer zone and current operations. Suggestions are very welcome!

replies: text: Well, as 10 days have gone by with no opposition to my proposal, I'm going to go ahead and execute the merge. I hasten to add I fully expect the articles will be split again at a later date, once the resulting article has been cleaned up, updated and expanded, with the Buffer Zone section sufficiently large to stand on its own properly.

Talk:Declaration of Independence of the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus

message: Apparently there is no general rule against unilateral declarations of independence in international law per the ICJ Kosovo opinion. What was it that invalidated this one? No matter where I look on Wikipedia, I see that Northern Cypriot UDI was declared invalid - perplexingly with not even a summary as to why (I see that a brief justification was offered in retrospect in the Kosovo opinion, paragraph 81 - pasted below). This seems a key detail, and in my opinion, should be added. Additionally, I do feel some explanation of said unlawful use of force and its role in the UDI subsequently being considered invalid is necessary (i.e. establishing causation between the two).  
The Court notes, however, that in all of those instances the Security Council was making a determination as regards the concrete situation existing at the time that those declarations of independence were made; the illegality attached to the declarations of independence thus stemmed not from the unilateral character of these declarations as such, but from the fact that they were, or would have been, connected with the unlawful use of force or other egregious violations of norms of general international law, in particular those of a peremptory character (jus cogens). In the context of Kosovo, the Security Council has never taken this position. The exceptional character of the resolutions enumerated above appears to the Court to confirm that no general prohibition against unilateral declarations of independence may be inferred from the practice of the Security Council.

Talk:Home movie

message: I feel I should explain why I created this article with an unconventional plural noun. Home video Home movie (singular) is a disambiguation page linking to several somewhat unrelated articles.
"Home movies" and "home videos" much less ambiguously denote the sense discussed in this article.  When used as a noun, "home movies" nearly always appears in the plural form.  This is very similar to "fireworks" discussed in Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals), where "firework" is a variant, but not the most common form.
Titling this article in the plural allows "home movie" and "home video" to be used to refer to commercial movies in formats designed for use in comsumer equipment at home.  In the case of "home video", this use is a mass noun (not countable), whereas the plural form is reserved for countable "videos". Canadiana 00:21, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Home video doesn't point to a disambiguation page at all...not that I think you're wrong about this. --Jemiller226 05:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text: Sorry, I had it all straight in my mind, but I typed the wrong thing.  (See correction above.)  I also moved Home Movies (proper noun) to its own diambiguation page rather than re-directing it to home movies, because I don't see much likelyhood that the generic term will be accidentally capitalized.

Talk:Science International

message: I ran into Michael Spivak in a coffee shop last week (mid-January 2007), and shocked him by recognizing his name as the producer of the show.  When I proved it by humming the theme music, he said he had in fact written it himself.  When I asked if the network had considered the show as 'filler' he said that no, it was seen by some 420,000 people in Southern Ontario in its Thursday evening slot and was a huge success.   (I was around 10 when it was shown.) Does talking to the show producer count as reasonable sourcing? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 15.227.137.70 (talk • contribs).

Talk:Volkswagen Polo Mk2

message: There could probably do with some kind of consistency over the different models--there's 'station wagon' in use for the coupé over the picture besides the rest. The German terms were Steilheck and Coupé, and as far as I'm aware they were translated pretty uniformly to Hatchback and Coupé in English.
Some kind of note about the models' continuing popularity might be prudent also. TNC 00:32, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed - I'm an inch away from altering it myself unless someone wants to argue against it. The article page is the first time I have ever seen the hatch version referred to as a "Wagon". It was either Hatchback or indeed Squareback (a more natural sounding english equivalent to the german "steepback" (steilheck)) in reference to it's unusual near-vertical (and really rather useful :) third door. There have, after all, been "actual" Wagon bodies put on the Polo floorpan down the years, including one sold alongside the still-quite-steep Mk3 hatch. Pretty sure I saw someone make a custom one using a couple of pre-facelift Mk2s, too - a saloon floorpan/lower body with a donor hatch rear/upper end welded on, not a million miles away from the concept behind the mk3 one... The steilheck isn't a particularly long car, or even possessed of a super large boot, unless you fold the rear seats. It just has a taller than usual metal part to the tailgate, and a steeper than normal glass pane above it (vs the coupe which is the opposite, when the two are compared to most of their in-betweeny hatchback contemporaries)... 193.63.174.211 (talk) 13:47, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

message: Is there any mileage in trying to add a small section or even a paragraph/sentence about the experimental "Oko Polo" (eco-) that VW made a few prototypes of in the early 80s, on the Mk2 platform? One of the earliest forced-charge small diesels - 2 cylinder, 850ish cc, 40ish hp, and, bizarrely, supercharged - which proved to be rather too far ahead of it's time, expensive to make and unlikely to find a ready market... bit of a shame. There's only a little bit of information around concerning it, but I have at least seen scans of contemporary magazine articles about it before. Be nice to have it as at least a small footnote in this here historical record, as some of it's DNA still lives on in their modern products (including, particularly, the XL1...). 193.63.174.211 (talk) 13:53, 27 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Le Petit Nicolas

message: it is not a good one..why isnt there a link to the english version?
Huh?
Initially, I was very puzzled by this article. I have a copy of Young Nicolas; i.e., Le Petit Nicolas translated into American English in 1961 by Stella Rodway and published in the USA in 1962. It does not contain Anglicized names or any Flemish fellow as found in Anthea Bell's 1978 English translation. However, after reading some excerpts from Ms. Bell's version, I came to realize that, while Ms. Rodway had merely translated the French text into American English, Ms. Bell had actually re-written the book in British English; complete with British names and phraseology. The only deviation I ran across was changing Monsieur Dubon's nickname to The Potato (since he says, "Look me in the eyes!" all the time). It only makes sense as what kind of nickname would "Pomme de Terre" be anyhow! :-) When I can find the time, I will come back and add a similar description of the American English version. Fortunately, the humor of Mssrs Goscinny and Sempé transcend these minor matters. JimScott 06:05, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Nicolas and Louisette excepted, the children’s names are not common given names of the 50’s and the 60’s. The boys’names are antiquated names borrowed from history books or 17th century litterature, Marie-Edwige is the combination of Marie and a rare (in France at least) given name, a type of naming associated in those times with snobbishness. So the names contribute to the humorous tone of the book. I don’t know if this is reflected in the english versions. Ratd'lab (talk) 12:55, 24 November 2017 (UTC)
