Talk:HMS Liverpool (C11)

message: Query: according to my father (Norman Gomersall, who was on  board from 1939) Liverpool was used to transfer major gold reserves to America (Mare Island Navy Yard) and the ship was repaired there, not in Rosyth.  The crew did not remain while repairs happened; it was sent to New York by train (before America entered the war - the crew were transported across country in secret) and from there were repatriated to England.  My father is now dead - anyone around who knows any more about this? (originally posted by anon 212.44.22.39)
I have recently found photographs of various ships at sea my uncle took as he was serving in the war, HMS Liverpool is one of them. The photos really are a wonderful insight.

message: As the two largest towns the HMS Belfast and Liverpool were in some ways considered the cruisers most capable of modernisation in the early 1950s even thought they were both more than ten years old. Their larger hulls could have accomodated three of the new twin fully automatic 6 inch Mk 26 guns being tested on HMS Cumberland were none of the war completed Colony class cruisers had enough space, stability or internal volume and the HMS Superb could only have carried two of the new mounts. The percieved perception that the Liverpool was more suitable for modernisation was one of the reason it and Belfast were laid up in 1952-3, the RN having run into the ground its best ageing cruisers of the County class in the late 1940s.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 122.102.108.37 (talk) 07:05, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Hall of Mirrors is incorrect. The .50 BMG is 5.45" long. Close enough. Moreover that comment was probably referring to the length of the cartridge, not the bullet.

message: "It is widely understood that Oda and Mori had a sexual relationship that was commonly found in those times"
I think it should be precised that there are no contempary sources that can be used to prove this. I mean, this fact was especially stressed by the nanshoku litterature of the Edo period (the sources mentioned are from the beginning of the XVIIIe century whereas Ranmaru died in 1582) that praised the almost feminine beauty and the fidelity of Ranmaru. Nanshoku is a bit like courtly love in medieval Europe : though highly praised in litterature, it is very difficult to know to what extent it was practiced in reality (I can think of only three written sources about this : a statement made by a a japanese author in 1482, one made by a jesuit priest in the late XVIe century, and a letter from Takeda Shingen to his lover).  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.187.34.16 (talk) 13:46, 6 August 2010 (UTC)

"Inasmuch as LUDOLF in his labours had the advantage of being tutored by a born Ethiopian,-GREGORY,-at a time when Ethiopic was still tolerably well understood in Abyssinia, we must take his facts as the groundwork for all which relates to pronunciation."
Dillmann is no friend of Ludolf, but I've been using this grammar quite a bit and I've not seen him have at that story in particular.

replies: text: Kabylia →  – I strongly advocate for the use of "Kabylie" as the preferred name for the region. While the term "Kabylia" may appear to be an attempt to anglicize or align the name more closely with Algeria, it lacks significant usage in English-language sources. It is important that we prioritize accuracy in naming conventions. The name "Kabylie" has been widely accepted and recognized in both academic and popular discourse. Even advanced language models like ChatGPT, which have been trained on an extensive corpus of English-language sources, consistently use "Kabylie" when referring to the region. To support the use of "Kabylia," I would encourage the inclusion of reliable English-language sources, such as books, articles, and reputable websites, that consistently employ this term. Using "Kabylia" solely for the sake of anglicization or to sound more "Algerian" is not grounded in linguistic or academic precedent and should be avoided in favor of the established and widely accepted term, "Kabylie."

replies: text: Hi, Chris.  No objection, per se.  I found the French Wiki article (I've been doing a lot for the translation) and I thought the English article ought to have this material.  It's thoughtful and interesting, and takes something of a stand.  As you will realize, the actual Gauquelin quotes are from an earlier editor--not me.  I hoped at one point to incorporate the French material better, but all I have done is to replace earlier biographical material with the French material where I thought it was superior, or blend the two--and that was only in the earliest paragraphs.  I made no attempt to incorporate most of the material on his writings to the previous material.  Some of it was clearly not up to snuff and some, as you say, was skewed, but it's a big project, and although I had previously   many of Gauquelin's books to this article and I have read him very extensively, it's still a big job to come up with one homogenized article.
