Talk:Ottoman–Portuguese conflicts (1538–1560)

message: *According to the article the Ottoman fleet, during the siege of Diu (1538), was led by Suleyman I's emissary, a certain Hussein Pasha. According to Turkish chronicles however, the commender of the fleet was Hadım Suleyman Pasha. (There are many sources which confirm this.) 
*And one thing more. Turks conquered Egypt in 1518. Up to 1518 they had no access to Red sea. So they could not send any fleet or reinforcements to Indian Ocean. The Ottomans must not appear in the military conflict box for the battle of Diu (1509) and conquest of Goa (1510). Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 13:15, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Formal request has been received to merge: Ottoman naval expeditions in the Indian Ocean into Ottoman–Portuguese conflicts (1538–1559); dated: September 2022. Proposer's Rationale: ...they deal in exactly the same subject. The 16th century naval expeditions of the Ottomans Turks into the Indian Ocean were a result of the conflict with the Portuguese there, but the article "Ottoman naval expeditions in the Indian Ocean" seems to be just "Ottoman-Portuguese conflicts (1538-1559)" written from an exclusively Turkish standpoint. WP:REDUNDANT. –Wareno.  Discuss here. GenQuest "scribble" 04:19, 26 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Weak Support. These expeditions do tend to be more Ottoman-focused in their writing, but a merger is definitely merited by GenQuest's proposal and details. I personally have a few internal hesitations mostly on POV, but Wareno makes a good point: this is WP:REDUNDANT. Assuming the merger takes place, this is certainly going to need some editing to reflect both Ottoman and Portuguese opinions, but in the end, a merger would reduce redundancy and be a definitive improvement assuming that proper POV copyediting takes place.

Talk:HMS Alarm (1758)

message: In the "Experiments with copper sheathing" section:
It was resurveyed in 1776, and the survey was somehow submitted in 1763 (7 years prior), and interest in copper-plated ships waned until 1775 (a year before the survey)?  The cited reference ([4]) only mentions "Some few years after copper sheathing became general".  --64.175.39.101 (talk) 08:04, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The dates are actually all correct, but perhaps could be better worded to show the chronology of events. Alarm was copper-sheathed in 1761, but two years later a separate report to the Admiralty (and one nothing to do with the 1776 survey of Alarm herself) demonstrates the potential problems of corrosion. Interest in copper-sheathing wanes for the next few years and the problem is not seriously returned to until 1775. Meanwhile Alarm continues to sail the oceans with her copper-bottomed hull. In 1776 she is resurveyed and the issues set out in the 1763 report are found to be true. For the meantime Alarm's copper sheathing is removed while Admiralty experts spend the next few years experimenting and refining the techniques. Benea (talk) 20:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

message: Long Bien Bridge is a historic bridge across the Red River that connects two districts of Hanoi, Vietnam. It was considered the symbol of courageous capital in wars.
The Bridge was a connection for transporting thousand of rice tones from Northern and Northern Central areas of Vietnam to Dien Bien Phu battle and contributed to the win of Vietnam army against French in 1954. Many spans of the bridge were destroyed. The left spans remaining today remind us of an unforgettable past. The Long Bien Bridge was built from 1899 to 1902 and designed by French. However, it was constructed by Vietnamese workers. The Bridge was originally named Paul Doumer, but it was named Long Bien or Cai River Bridge by Vietnamese, but Long Bien is the most popular name for this bridge.

Talk:Konpa

message: Konpa is also a spelling variant of Compas.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.73.34.100 (talk) 23:34, 4 April 2011 (UTC)

message: "It is often suggested that this word originally came from German: Kompanie, English: company, or French: compagnie, although the exact root is unknown."
Despite the information provided in the citation, I doubt this explanation of the word's origin. The citation provides an alternate pronunciation which is relevant: komupa. This comes from communication, which is used in Japan as a buzzword.  Since Japanese has no equivalent to the <myu> sound, it's been replaced with <mu>*; later the word was further contracted to konpa or kompa (written the same way in katakana). The root of konpa is more likely "Communication Party", which also describes its purpose.
This is the explanation I've heard most often, whereas I have never heard the what's given in this article. Unfortunately, it does seem that recent etymology is a complete mystery to most native speakers of Japanese. 
*Although an approximation can be made with <mi> <xtsu> <yu> (ミッユ), this would result in a "longer" word: more difficult to pronounce and more difficult to write. 126.209.12.27 (talk) 10:32, 23 August 2013 (UTC)
