Talk:Achan Sobin S. Namto

message: To avoid causing problems for WIkipedia's ISBN-checking, I have removed the ISBN for the following book:
Insight Meditation: Practical Steps to Ultimate Truth. Vipassana Dhura Meditation Society, Fawnskin, California, USA, 1989. Repr. Jan.2005. Invalid . Perhaps this will one day be republished with valid ISBN. If so please update.  Until then it should say 'No ISBN available'.
To confirm that ISBN is invalid, it may be entered at isbn.org/converterpub.asp.  EdJohnston 21:26, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  ISBN problem 

message: Although both forms of his title can be found on the web, there are several reasons to prefer 'Achan':
#That's how he's currently referred to in the text of the article
#'achan sobin namto' gets nearly twice as mainly Google hits as 'ajahn sobin namto.'
#Search Amazon for 'Sobin Namto' and his name is spelled 'Achan' wherever his books are listed.
#His name is spelled 'Achan' on the web site of a society where he teaches in Barre, VT: http://vipassanadhura.com/ourteacher.htm

Talk:Alexandre Mouton

message: Two observations/questions:
1) Did not Mouton spell his first name in the French manner (Alexandre)?
2) The article states that Mouton was born "into a wealthy plantation owning French Creole family."  However, I don't think they were French Creole; I think they were Acadian (albeit aspiring to French Creole pretensions).  I.e., Mouton's family was made up primarily of "genteel Acadians," as historians have called them . . . Acadians who broke away from the mass of average, ordinary, impoverished Acadians and became wealthy planters, and who copied the French Creole elite (and later the Anglo-American elite) who lived around them.  (See Brasseaux, Acadian to Cajun, passim.)
: I have changed Mouton's first name to the French spelling after consulting with historian Carl A. Brasseaux.  Mouton and others appear to have used both the English and French spellings of his name, but, given Mouton's French ancestry, I believe his name originally would have been spelled in the French manner.  Granted, it is spelled the English way on his tomb, but he may have had no say-so in the matter; it is spelled the French way, however, on the historical marker posted on his Lafayette home.  
: Moreover, given that his son was named Jean Jacques Alfred Alexandre Mouton, it is not unreasonable to assume that the father also spelled his name in the French manner.
:Searches for "Alexander Mouton," however, will still redirect to this article, so I don't anticipate any confusion.  I have updated other links to this article.  --Skb8721 (talk) 17:22, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Schützenfest

message: Hello, I don't think that it is useful to list every Schützenfest. At least in Germany a Schützenfest can be found in hundreds of villages. So the list would be very very long.
Hi, I must agree with the note above - every small village in the North of Germany has got its own Schützenfest; in summer in the region where I stem from, in a major city at about 70,000 inhabitants (with all the villages connected) two or three events take place every weekend.
Furthermore, I am not sure if 'marksmen' is the correct translation of the the 'Schützen'. In my opinion, marksman refers to a person trained for very exact shooting over a long distance - shooting to kill, isn't it? Isn't the expression 'sniper' (in a negative sense? similar?
The expression 'Schütze' is linked to the German word 'to protect'. All this evolved from what may be called "home troops" from the era of the Napoleonic War. When Napoleon besieged half of Europe, he quickly conquered a weak and divided Germany what was no longer independent. When the revolution against Napoleon started, every town built up this protection force - rather protecting than able to attack somebody or something. By the way, one of these troops used the colours black-red-golden on their uniforms - origin of the German national flag.
Satanius (from Germany), July 7, 2008  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.238.233.70 (talk) 08:03, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The "protection" notion is important here - the "Schützen" tradition goes back to each city's local militia force as mandated by the jurisdiction under Henry I. ("Gesetz zur Wehrverfassung der Städte" as passed in IIRC 924AD), as such i.e. dating back to the 10th century. In short, for its self-defense, each city was required to maintain an organized militia consisting of its ordinary (male) population. The mandatory training and exercizing for this kind of armed service gradually evolved into competitive shootouts and the festivities attached to them. With the rise of standing armies, these urban militias became obsolete over time, and actually mostly illegal under Napoleon's reign, so all that was left in recent centuries was the respective local tradition of having an annual shooting competition and a Fest to celebrate the occasion. 91.33.223.124 (talk) 18:08, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Talk:John Murray (minister)

message: Flagging as needs citation. John Murray was an early Universalist minister, preaching his first Universalist sermon on the American continent on September 30, 1770.  However, Universalist George de Benneville had been going on "itinerant preaching tours" some time between 1741 and 1757.  "Adams Streeter proposed that the Universalists gather in association so that a unified and legal church body might be recognized on constitutional grounds." There were others who were involved in "founding" the organization that eventually became the "Universalist denomination," not just John Murray.Samatva (talk) 18:10, 29 November 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: Welcome to Wikipedia - you might think about signing up as a registered user. Now as regards the Abbey - it would certainly make sense for it to be constructed of New Red Sandstone as its stands on or near a major outcrop of Permian rocks.

replies: text: Shear flow and Couette flow are not the same. To my understanding, shear flow simply refers to flow where viscosity is non-negligible, and thus shear forces are present. In contrast, Couette flow is specifically a type of flow between two infinite plates, where one or both plates may have a nonzero velocity. Thus Couette flow is an example of shear flow, as it says in the article. Samwalbert (talk) 17:03, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
