Talk:Aquatic and environmental engineering

message: First, acquatic is not a word in English. It was correct at it previous spelling before it was moved. Also I doubt that this is synonymous with civil engineering in English. But I am not sure. Any one know? Rmhermen 17:42, Oct 22, 2003 (UTC)

Talk:1950s

message: One of the key changes in the 1950s was the advent of Television sets in every person's home. It was a completely new way for people to express public opinion, etc. Besides, it would be neglectful not to feature this key technological change in the collage of images.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.55.196.159 (talk) 18:03, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Talk:Gender-blind

message: So how do gender-blind people identify as? They wouldn't say male or female, would they, because they don't pay attention to gender.

thread_title:  Gender-blind Identity 

message: It seems like both of these terms are quite new and not yet distinguished from eachother yet. I propose that we we and make these terms more distinguished. The term gender neutrality seems to me like it is part of the wider number of topics to do with not defining people by their sexual organs.. and maybe "Gender blind" is more specifically referring to an individual who identifies with this perspective?
I think It's really important to clearly distinguish these terms. I will work alittle on the articles today.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.139.28 (talk) 15:33, 30 November 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Consonant

message: In which dialects of English does rural /ˈɹɝl/ or /ˈɹɹ̩l/ rhyme with girl /ˈgɝl/ or /ˈgɹ̩l/? I have always pronounced rural as two distinct syllables. There are better examples.  — Solo Owl (talk) 21:18, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Rural

message: The img in the lead presented 'consonants' as having casing and serifs. It also claimed that  is the most common consonant in English, with a ref to letter frequency, additional evidence that the person who added it didn't know the difference between a sound and a glyph. I replaced it with a chart of the consonants of English, closer to what we have in the lead of vowel. Because the img has been here for 8 yrs (!!), I was advised I should explain myself here. — kwami (talk) 04:38, 14 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Decimal currency

message: I've rewritten parts of the two closing paragraphs, which seemed rather POV
to me: I might caricature the old wording as "We used to have the wonderful
ability to say £1 = 240d. so £(1/15) = 16d., and now we've copied the stupid
dollar just because it was more convenient for electronic transactions."
The subdivisions of the pound were even described in the present tense,
showing the backward-looking point of view.
The real reason for the rise of decimal currency has to be that it's
simply more convenient for most purposes, and I've put that in.
In fact, electronic transactions are not an advantage of decimal
currency: it's trivial for computers to be programmed to deal with mixed
units.  The advantage is in other computations, where you can add $19.50
and $4.95 the same way that you add 1,950 and 495, or find 7% of $27.80
the same way that you'd find 7% of 2,780.  That's true whether you're doing
it in your head, on paper, or with a calculator.
I've also shortened the list of subdivisions of the pound, but I've
mentioned explicitly how many there are, and also acknowledged that
there are additional subdivisions because of the farthing.

Talk:Simon Sechter

message: I don't know how to type Czech hacek accent marks in Wikipedia.  I looked at the page on Dvorak and saw the haceks there but to the left of the letter they apply to, instead of right above it. Also, if the article seems to focus too much on Bruckner it's because almost all I know about Sechter comes from reading books and articles on Bruckner. Dmetric

Talk:Tiger I

message: @Szolnok95
No one is denying the Tiger could beat some tanks in speed, but no one needs to know that because it's in a paragraph about its 50 ton dead weight not its speed capabilities.
It's a wiki page, it still needs to be professional and sound unbiased.

Talk:Erwin Komenda

message: While Komenda certainly had a lot of input into the products of the Porsche design team pre and post WWII, and has been since forgotten rather more than he deserves, the extent to which this is being pushed on Wikipedia's Porsche and Volkswagen pages by certain people is IMO skewing the articles and injecting what is in my opinion a POV bias contrary to the spirit of Wikipedia.  
I have removed the link to the Erwin Komenda Porsche Designer page from many (but by no means all) the pages it had been placed on.  Komenda was not sufficiently important to the subjects of those articles.  I have removed mention of him entirely from articles (such as the Porsche Boxster) in which mention of him is rather off topic.  
I believe that the level of mention of him on Wikipedia now is still much more than is generally given but that it is now toned down so that it does not appear that Wikipedia is pushing an agenda rather than documenting impartially as it should.
If you believe I have been too heavy-handed in this please let me know, on this talk page or mine.

Talk:Herero Wars

message: The figures are highly disputed. There had never been a census in South West Africa before and it is not clear if there even were 100,000 Hereros ever before. After all, the most of them died of thirst after fleeing into the Kalahari desert, not by shooting.
There is a tendency of giving the most dramatic figures possible in order to gain public interest or compensation. However in an encyclopedic article which should be considered as somewhat serious and not just propaganda it should be noted at least, that the number of 100,000 dead ist the highest figure of all estimates. In some other herero-related wikipedia articles the number of death ranges between 15,000 and 100,000 with a number of 60,000 seen as the most likely. 
Britain and Imperial Germany were colonial competitors in Africa and Britain had an interest of accusing German governing as being brutal and incompetent. Finally the German colonies were handed to the allies after WW1.
