message: Can someone provide more information about the fact that the line "runs on Microsoft's Windows operating system"?
I can't find any reference to this on the web.  Do the trains run Windows, or the back end system?  Without providing a reference or any extra detail, it seems the contributor is just trying to imply that Microsoft is reponsible the line's delayed opening and white elephant reputation.  --JackSeoul 04:27, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Vernon, British Columbia

message: This article cites Luc Girouard as the first white man to settle Vernon.  A series of articles about Luc Girouard's background appeared in the Vernon News, shortly after its founding 1891.  Mr. Girouard was alive and well at the time and presumably provided the detail.  In part it states: "In 1860 Mr. Luc Girouard, together with a man named King, came into the Okanagan country by way of Colville..." (VN, October 1, 1891, page 5).  This 1860 date might be used in future to better edit the flow of the history paragraph, which currently mixes decades when discussing the fur trade and Mr. Girouard.

thread_title:  Luc Girouard 

message: The article makes the spurious claim about who "discovered" the location. There is no recording of the people who traveled thru that area over the last 20,000 - 30,000 years. Who "discovered" the Sun? the Moon? The Atlantic Ocean? Any such claim is spurious (unless it can be established that no earlier visits occurred). I don't know what the basis is for the silly claim, but perhaps "first known use" (of that area) should be considered. Unless the "first use" coincided with the retreating ice, it's unlikely that it can be ascertained from any current or future physical evidence. 98.21.212.155 (talk) 23:29, 20 October 2023 (UTC)

Talk:USS Congress (1841)

message: The article mentions that the ship left La Paz, which can refer to a number of cities. Since it says the ship helped occupy Mazatlán just before referring to La Paz, i'm guessing that it means La Paz, Baja California Sur, a city in the same province as Mazatlán. However, La Paz usually refers to La Paz, Bolivia, so i'm not 100% sure. Can anyone else verify this? foobaz·✐ 06:05, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)

message: From the flow of the narration, La Paz or La Pas appears to be a small port in the southern part of Baja California (Baja California Sur). This makes sense, since it then takes her six months to get back to Norfolk, which is a typical length of time for the voyage from the U.S West Cost to the U.S. East Coast by sail at that time.

Talk:Boeing 707

message: " Freed from the design constraints imposed by the limitations of late-1940s jet engines, which led to the Comet disasters, developing a robust, safe, and high capacity jet aircraft was within Boeing's grasp."
Perhaps we could include some explanation of how late-40s jet engine tech imposed design limitations that led to DeHavilland using square-framed windows on the Comet, which were the direct cause of the aforementioned disasters. Because it is not at all clear to me what engines have to do with window design. The Comet had issues with engines, but they had nothing to do with the lost aircraft.

replies: text: If you look at number of municipalities you see the difference, West-Friesland is the smaller area, this is more or less province Westflinge of Westfriesland, Westfriesland is big bigger, and once was it was autonomous and at war with Holland, during that war some parts got flooded, that land was lost to the see. Therefore the area was divided in some islands, quite big area of Westflinge was protected by the dykesystem. Later when Westfriesland lost from Holland, the area became a district. Through the century's it lost a bit of is identity because of it's islandic laying. Every area became a bit more it's own. The name became in the end of 19th century more synonymous for the area between the dykesystem. But the culture and language-string remains. A lot historians use Westfriesland as indication for the bigger area and West-Friesland for the area between the dyke systems, this last one is the very active used region name. Dolfy 15:33, 26 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Being born and raised and still living in westfriesland I have to something to say about this. In my eyes, the second column in the list of municipalities makes no sense. The westfrisian langage (I didn't even know it existed) must be centuries old. The list of municipalities is new and is constant subject to change.
I, for instance, live in Hoogkarspel. A couple of years (like 25 yrs or so) ago the villages/municipalities Hoogkarspel, Westwoud and Oosterblokker were joined into the new municipality Drechterland. Recently the municipality Venhuizen was added to Drechterland. I hope I made my point clear.
I don't want to make those changes myself because I don't know much about the english wikepedia, but just want to add information through this discussion page.

message: I think West Friesland (historical region) would probably better be merged into this one (and maybe the parenthetic part removed from the name). They are really the same thing as far as I can tell, just in different times. It might make sense to keep them separate if one was a historical region and the other was an officially demarcated modern region, but West Friesland today has no official status and is basically just the name for a part of North Holland that was part of historical West Friesland.

Talk:Chagatai Khanate

message: The Chagatai Khanate split into two parts in the 1340s, the Western Chagatai Khanate and the Moghulistan (or the Eastern Chagatai Khanate), but as the main text of the article suggests, this does not mean that the khanate ended in the 1340s. So I have changed the end year in the infobox to show the durations of the whole khanate, western khanate and the eastern khanate separately. The book "Transnationalism in Ancient and Medieval Societies: The Role of Cross-Border Trade and Travel" (page 82) by Michael C. Howard for example considers the Chagatai Khanate to end in 1687, but I agree there are probably sources giving different end years (although I should have left this message before actually changing the article). --Evecurid (talk) 00:58, 17 March 2015 (UTC)

message: I recently added the Western Chagatai Khanate and the Moghulistan as successors of the Chagatai Khanate in the infobox because there were such articles.

Talk:Chaghataite khanate

message: Chaghatai or Chagatai or Jagatai was a son of Jenghiz or Genhiz or Jinghiz Khan. To call his ulus or empire the Chaghatai or the Chagatai Khanate is like calling Jenghiz Khan's conquests the "Jenghiz Empire". "Ogodite" is commonly used as adjective for Ogodei, another son of Jenghiz. "Jinghizids" or "Jenghizids" is also used for the descendants of Jenghiz, or for those who claimed descent from him. The adjective for Chaghatai can properly be "Chaghataite" or "Jaghataite". Hence, Chaghataite's empire can and perhaps should be called the "Chaghataite Khanate".
*Normal English usage has the entity as the "Ulus Chaghatay" or the "Chaghatay Khanate". This is how they appear, for example, in BF Manz (1989) The Rise and Rule of Tamerlane, Cambridge University Press.  Furthermore, this is the first time I have ever encountered "Chaghataite" in English as opposed to "Chaghatayid"--KASchmidt 03:02, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC)
