Talk:Comet (tank)

message: There are some better images on the Commons, can someone upload them here? Oberiko 14:08, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

message: For anyone interested in the Comet's use after D-Day I can recommend Peter Elstob's Warriors for the Working Day. Although a novel, the book is drawn from Elstob's own experiences, first on Shermans and then Comets.

Talk:Old English declension

message: :See also previous discussions at Old English pronouns and Old English morphology.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by FilipeS (talk • contribs) 18:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The chart under the heading "Old masculine/feminine to the modern person" indicates that the instrumental and accusative cases of "who" have blended into the dative case. If this be so, how can "why" and "whence" be classified?  "Why" is still used in an instrumental sense in constructions like "The reason why I called was to say that I'm sorry", and "whence" is explicitly and exclusively used in the accusative sense as the phrase is always "whence he came" and not "what/who he came".  Also, isn't it somewhat of a generalization to say that the difference between "who" and "what" is simply the difference between persons and things. "What", as the interrogative of "that", may refer to persons as well as things and in some fairly visible dialects does e.g. "It was Susie what told him about the surprise party".--Jr mints 20:59, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I'm not sure I see the need for the request to check the article for vandalism.  In my experience, the amount of vandalism that slips through the net due to the subsequent editor missing it is very small indeed, and the clutter of this extra text just makes people less likely to read it in my opinion.  So, I'd like to remove it.  Any thoughts? Worldtraveller 15:04, 10 October 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Just an opinion piece here, but the boundaries between Thurmaston and Rushey Mead are completely political in nature and make zero logical sense. They probably did back in 1976 but now, it's all one continous urbanized mass from the city centre, all the way up to the Asda roundabout. Next door neighbours on Hill Rise can be part of two completely different councils, i.e. a postcode lottery. The boundaries should be moved either south, to Troon Way (absorbing Rushey Mead into Charnwood, but with a clear divide from Leicester), or north to Asda roundabout (absorbing Thurmaston into the City)...

Talk:The Emperor's Nightingale

message: Even though the nightingale in the fairy tale is owned by an emperor, the English title is just The Nightingale (a direct translation of the Danish title Nattergalen), not The Emperor's Nightingale, as evidenced by these Google searches:
*+"hans christian andersen" +"the nightingale" - 39,700 hits
*+"hans christian andersen" +"the emperor's nightingale" - 925 hits
Therefore, I moved the content of the page The Emperor's Nightingale to the page The Nightingale, turned the former into a redirect page, changed the links on other pages accordingly and did a similar thing on Wikisource.
IMDb lists a 1949 Czech stop-motion puppet animation of this fairy tale by the title of Cisaruv slavík. The title of the U.S. version, narrated by Boris Karloff, was The Emperor's Nightingale.  It is not to be confused with the better-known Andersen tale The Emperor's New Clothes.

message: In the network there are in fact only information about the encumbrance of the structure itself, ie 47000 square meters (the royal palace has in fact a side of 247 meters in length and the other of 190 meters, for a result precisely of 46930 square meters) This result however it should be multiplied by the 5 floors of the palace, to arrive at a more probable result of 160 thousand square meters approximately. This figure was obtained by subtracting the 47.000 square meters overall size of the 15000 square meters of the four inner courts (each 3848 square meters wide, being side rectangles of 74x52 meters) obtaining the "net" surface of each plan, ie 31600 meters. 31600 square meters for 5 floors it gives a result of 160 thousand square meters approximately. To get a sense of the enormous size of the Palace unjustly considered to 47,000 square meters, the Palace of Versailles in France has "only" 67 thousand square meters, ie not even half of the surface summarily calculated by me of 160 thousand square meters, or with the Royal Palace in Madrid, also of five floors and with a nominal surface of 135 thousand square meters, but Caserta is visibly larger. 82.57.17.215 (talk) 00:34, 8 October 2016 (UTC)
