Talk:Balmoral Castle

message: My impression has long been that at least under Elizabeth II, Balmoral is where the monarch spends several weeks each summer, particularly around August. It is effectively her summer (or late summer) residence, much as Sandringham is her Christmas/winter residence, with Windsor Castle being the preferred residence the rest of the time, and Buckingham Palace when in London. This isn't quite clear from the present wording of the article and should probably be mentioned in the intro. Are there sources that document the queen's movements over the years (probably based on the Court Circular), and what her usual pattern of residence at Balmoral has been? Has she spent more of the summer there over the years as she's reduced international travel? Does she ever go to Balmoral outside of the usual summer months when she's in residence? Beorhtwulf (talk) 13:20, 8 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I wouldn't use "summer/winter" residence in this case, which implies they are the only two places one lives, so one is spending 4+ months at each. The place you spend the school summer holidays is more akin to a holiday home, but usual language doesn't really apply to people with multiple palaces to choose from. The movements are quite heavily constrained - the London "season" in June includes formal events like Garter Day and of course the late Queen would never miss Royal Ascot in late June. But then pretty soon after that you have the brief Edinburgh season with the biennial Order of the Thistle service at the start of July. Then traditionally one would go to one's Highland estate in plenty of time for the start of grouse shooting on the 12 August - broadly the "summer holidays" in that world would be defined by the summer recess of Parliament, which is 21 July - 5 Sept 2022 this year.

thread_title:  Description of the Main Gates 

message: It's mentioned that it is the Monarch's private property but not really pointed up that the big significance of acquiring Balmoral in 1852 was that the monarch "finally had his or her own house instead of being at the mercy of Parliament's Civil List legislation" and was hitherto paradoxically wealthy but also a homeless person in a sense.  I'd heard something to this effect but I don't know how true it is that this was literally the reflection, or the issue raised when Prince Albert bought the place.  Can someone find a source to that effect or confirm that it is something of just a rumour? 50.34.104.79 (talk) 00:03, 12 April 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Seemingly out-of-place product reference 

message: Many products allow for zooms less than 2x.  1.5x seems fairly common, but certainly there are programs that magnify only 10% (1.1x) & I bet there are packages that allow anything between 1x and 2x.  Also, many do use the term "1x" to refer to the case of no magnification.  As such, I think 1x-16x is appropriate for the text. --Karnesky 05:37, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, thera are packages which allow magnification between 1x and 2x with entering any appropriate value. From the side of developer it is very easy to implement that kind of features. Some of them allow magnification less than 1x. --1&only 14:43, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've reverted to have 1x at the low range.  I did not lower it below 1x, as it is less common & the text doesn't discuss demagnification. --Karnesky 15:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

text: Karnesky, you are of course correct that there are packages that do less than 2x, but saying 1x seemed odd, since that means no magnification, and this article is specific about Screen magnifiers. At second look it seems reasonable to say this, as it would be more awkward to try to define in the article the smallest degree of magnification available above 1x. -- Argon233 T C @ ∉  15:32, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

It's a small thing, but the photo labeled "Model 1940" is actually a preproduction vehicle. Recognition features include the small driver's hatch with no splash strips, and the single-piece front armor plate. If you look at the nose there is no seam - a single plate was bent to form both the upper and lower hull plates for the front. This was rightly considered unnecessarily costly and all production tanks have two-piece noses - an upper and lower piece joined at the nose with riveted (model 40 & 41) or welded (Model 42 and later) seams. I don't see a better photo on the commons so we might as well keep this one. DMorpheus (talk) 18:51, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
