Talk:History of the French Foreign Legion

thread_title:  RfD? 

message: Some initial recommendations following a request to look over this article:
#Lead: This needs to be fleshed out.  A lead section should summarise the main points in the body of the article, and will generally range from one to three paragraphs in length.
#Referencing: There need to be many more inline citations to reliable sources. Each paragraph should have at least one citation. Also, style-wise, citations should appear immediately after punctuation, unlike in the first and second paragraphs of Formation of the Legion, where there's space between. The formatting of citations vs. reference works can also be improved: see Wikipedia:Citing sources for a useful guide.
#Headings: Headings use sentence case, for instance First Operations In Algeria should be First operations in Algeria.
#Structure/detail: The basic structure of the article looks okay, progressing chronologically from formation through major actions to the present day. However the article is unbalanced in that the formation section is quite detailed, but the remaining sections are light-on, particularly the First and Second World War parts.  We're actually in the odd situation where some of the campaigns mentioned in this article have less detail than the equivalent subsection in the History section of the main French Foreign Legion article! For this article to really be worth its salt, the sections after the formation one need to be fleshed out to a similar level of detail. As a guide for structure and detail, you might take a look at History of the Royal Air Force.

message: 1830 to 2014, that is nothing, compared to the 1,100 years of French history! 184 years may seem a long time to a US-American, since your country declared its independence in 1776, but France was founded in 834. That's thousand years more!! 93.219.144.71 (talk) 10:31, 24 July 2014 (UTC)

thread_title: Baseball Career

message: I grew up in Boston, and went to many games. I always heard and seen him refered to as "Conig". He was my favorite, as a kid. I even got his autograph, and he put "Conig", beside his full name. (I don't have it anymore. :( ) I don't know if he signed it like that just for us, though. We all called him that, so did the other teammates and the sportcasters. We also call "Conigliaro's Corner"  "Conig's Corner". There is talk to change the name, but I don't think that will happen. That part may just be a local thing as "Conigliaro's Corner" is too long for Bostonians. We like to shorten names of streets and people, in addition to dropping our Rs. He WAS "Conig" to us. Maybe it's a local thing, but the "nickname" was used in Time Magazine, so I put that as a reference. "Conig" was the man. He and "Yaz". Jeeny (talk) 01:50, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:The Guest (short story)

message: Most of this article isn't about the short story in question and really doesn't relate to it. It's a general (bad, superficial) recap of Camus's whole career and philosophy and writings. Occasionally the author tries to bring The Guest back in, but it's always a pretty tenuous connection. I just don't think there should be content for the sake of content.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.248.142.13 (talk) 18:34, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There's also an ironic contrast with The Stranger. In the novel, Meursault kills the Arab, an act that's essentially triggered by randomness and by Meursault's refusal to make any firm decisions in his life. Then he himself ends up getting killed (executed) but for reasons that don't have much to do with the shooting itself. In The Guest, Daru decides to act in a morally responsible way, and refuses to use a weapon (he indicates to Balducci that he doesn't want the gun and both men feel bad about having their captive bound with rope) and finally leaves the choice to the Arab himself, but it turns out he has gained nothing. The natives misread his intentions and leave Daru the message that he will be killed in revenge. 83.251.170.27 (talk) 00:20, 6 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title: Article's General Tone and Content

message: "That night, Daru cannot sleep; he dreams that there are footsteps outside. "
It is never explicitly said that the footsteps are a dream of Daru's--he just thinks they are.  The story's ending and other incidents preceding it strongly suggest that while Daru assumes them to be a dream, they are the very real footsteps of the Arab's relatives, waiting to see whether Daru will send their brother to the police or not. 71.246.153.113 04:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Newmachar

message: I have taken the liberty of removing the gaelic translation of Newmachar because Gaelic was never widely spoken in the North-East of Scotland and as such the village (which was known as Summerhill until about the start of the 20th century in any case) would never have had a Gaelic name.   killerwraith  1111 11_01_07 (UTC)
It seems that another user (possibly the same, as they are only identified by an IP Address) has gone about re-adding a Gaelic translation of Newmachar. As the above states, this is rather nonsensical and could you please add to the talk page the reasoning behind why you believe it appropriate.

message: Article should mention the rare feat of the ultimate grand slam hit by Bradley on April 13, 1985 in the Kingdome.
If I remember correctly, it was a 3-2 count, Mariners down 7-4, 2 outs in the bottom of the 9th, bases loaded, and probably half the attendees had already left.  The only thing I can't find a source for is the count, but in my memory it was 3-2, from when I witnessed the event live.

Talk:Bobo Newsom

message: Hello fellow editors,
This has been my first edit on Wikipedia after 15+ years of using the site (hoorah), simply changing "as of 2019:" to "as of 2021:" as it made me feel like the article was dated while reading it. Just had a quick point of interest to bring up if anyone happens to come across this -- would it be helpful to remove the "as of" completely from this article to avoid this being a yearly occurrence? 
Currently, Bobo Newsom can only be admitted to the MLB Hall of Fame by the Veterans Committee, which is scheduled to meet to discuss Newsom's potential candidacy in December of 2021.
The next time Newsom will be eligible for consideration is 10 years after that, 2031. I recommend removing "as of" entirely, and instead replacing it with an "Update after|2031" inline. Again, this is my first edit, so I apologize for using incorrect syntax and jargon as I'm still just grasping how to do all of these things, but I think it would be a good use case of the "Update After" template.

Talk:Temple of Hadrian

message: "Temple of the Deified Hadrian" or "Temple of Divus Hadrianus" would be more in line with the technical literature, not to mention more precise. I came to this article thinking this was a temple built by Hadrian, only to find that it refers to the temple that Antoninus built to deify his deceased predecessor. I would change it myself, but I'm new here & don't know how. ZoomaBaresAll (talk) 02:18, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: "of" meaning "dedicated to" rather than "built by" is standard usage in classics I'm afraid - see Temple of Vespasian and Titus (both of whose subjects are deified) - and that it was "to" rather than "built by" Hadrian is made clear by the opening sentence. So I don't think it should move. Neddyseagoon - talk 08:14, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

message: *Quick point: I would add 145 CE for the date, since the general public may not know which century Hadrian belongs to!
*What led to the misidentification as the Temple of Neptune? Or, rather, what evidence led to the correction?
*There is a lot of information in parentheses, but I think you potentially could turn them into fuller sentences or footnotes.
*Hadrian's less warlike policy than his predecessors - wording is a bit awkward.
*References need more work, but I'm sure you're working on it!
*I feel like there are too many pictures for the amount of content; there is a lot of blank space at the end of the page.
