Talk:Julia (Nineteen Eighty-Four)

message: This section reads more like a summary of Julia and Winston's relationship and their rebellion against the Party. Recommend revision.
It also seems to be more about Winston's feelings for Julia, rather than an article about Julia herself.  Understandable, in an article about a character who is shrouded in mystery throughout the novel (both before and after she has relations with Winston, due to the fact that the Party makes it impossible for either of them to know very much about each other) but none the less...  --Dark Green 20:40, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Too much content? 

message: Isn't she lobotomized? Earlier in the novel she talks about how the one thing she will always have to herself, beyond the reach of the Party, is her own mind, and when Winston sees her at the end, she has a scar across her forehead. If no one contests, I think I'll add this in. Kuralyov (talk) 05:42, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Room 101

message: In the opening it states, "In truth, she despises the Party and wants to join the Brotherhood, an outlawed organisation supposedly founded by Emmanuel Goldstein."  Perhaps this is a minute point, but throughout the book it is clearly stated that Julia really only cares about herself.  She only cares about the party as it pertains to her own life.  I do not think she ever actually cared about joining the brotherhood.  I think she did it simply because Winston wanted to. Therefore, it seems inaccurate to say that she wanted to join the brotherhood.  She never sought it out, and she didn't really care about their doctrines. She hardly even listened to Winston when he was reading the book to her.
Also, this article, as a previous poster has mentioned, did not focus much on Julia and the kind of person she was.  It just told points from the story.  I would suggest doing a bit more of a character study on her rather than just giving a general synopsis of the story itself.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lostsister82 (talk • contribs) 18:47, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Holding Back the River

message: The album I own has the tenth track. It's on a CD I bought in France in 1989... I really don't think that the bonus track was limited to 1000 copies, sold only in littlewood stores. This page at Discogs http://www.discogs.com/Wet-Wet-Wet-Holding-Back-The-River/release/1935971 shows the version I own, which is the regular european version. It could also be noted that the bonus track is available on Sweet Surrender CD single.

replies: text: The knot in the diagram isn't detailed enough to really identify it specifically, though it's generally bowline-esque -- which is the knot mentioned in ABOK and would be the logical choice for a simple fixed loop at the end of a rope.

thread_title:  Error in 1D Example 

message: The typesetting is not done in a proper mathematical way. 
# The superscript on the matrix \mathbf{C}^{\mathbf{j}} should not be bold, i.e. \mathbf{C}^j, as it is not a multidimensional quantity itself.
# There are matrices defined which look like the multiplication of different matrices but are meant to be a single matrix. The variable name is just made up of multiple letters, e.g. \mathbf{A} \mathbf{A} \mathbf{1}. Maybe we can come up with a better naming sceme? I would vote for one bold upper-case letter and a specific subscript index, e.g. \mathbf{A}_1.

thread_title: it's [[Bad Mergentheim]] not Mergentheim stop dismember the name

message: I had originally labeled the institution as a university, a label it uses itself (http://en.dhbw-mosbach.de/dual-system/from-ba-to-dhbw-mosbach.html). This was changed to "an institution of higher education (not actually a university)". As a compromise, I then left "institution of higher education" in place but removed the claim "(not actually a university)", a change that was reverted, with a note saying that the term "university" in the above reference results from a mistranslation. 
I have now again removed the claim "(not actually a university)" since to my knowledge it is not supported by any reliable source. Please reinsert the claim as soon as such a source can be located. Thanks, AxelBoldt (talk) 10:59, 16 July 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Buntline hitch

message: The photos (with blue cord) do not match the hand drawn diagrams. Both are functionally correct, but the mis-match will likely be very confusing to many trying the knots. The drawing is "upside down" and reversed (anti-Buntline). In the photos, the half hitches are tied in the standing end (before the ring) while hitches in the drawn diagrams are tied around both the standing and working ends. The photos match Ashley's Buntline hitches #1711 and #1712 (page 295 ABoK). Alexgenaud (talk) 20:29, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
thread_title:  Diagram and Photo mis-match 

message: The buntline hitch is a knot used for attaching a rope to an object...
Only if you don't want to untie it in a hurry. A better, albeit somewhat less secure knot would be the Round turn two and half-hitches as the generic knot used to attach a rope to a ring or spar.
Curiously the Knot#Basic_useful_knots page lists the buntline hitch as a basic knot.  I've never seen it listed as a basic knot.  The only place I've seen it used is on the buntlines attached to square sails.

Talk:German West African Company

message: As far as I can tell, there was no such thing as the "German West African Company," and if it did exist it certainly did not cover Togo, Cameroon, and Southwest Africa.  There is no connection whatsoever between SWA and the other two -- the Namibia section should be removed entirely, as it incorrectly suggests that Lüderitz sold his shares to this company.  He actually sold them to the German Colonial Society for Southwest Africa (Deutsche Kolonialgesellschaft für Südwestafrika) -- as the cited source, among others, indicates.  There was such a thing as the "West African Syndicate" (Westafrika-Syndikat), which was made up of prominent business leaders like Adolph Woermann and collapsed in 1886 from internal conflicts.  This body was never in charge of Togo and Cameroon; indeed, it actually refused in 1884 Bismarck's charge to take over the two colonies.  As a consequence, the imperial government was forced to take over administration itself.  Until further details of this company, beyond the existence of a flag, can be presented, this article should be removed. Trouser34 (talk) 15:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Deggendorf Institute of Technology

message: With all due respect: the institution's chosen self-designation is "Deggendorf Institute of Technology", which is visible on the institutional website: https://www.th-deg.de/en/university. This corporate rebranding reflects the fact the university has officially been granted by the Bavarian Government the German-language title/designation of a "Technische Hochschule" subsequent to their winning of a federal state-wide competition for this title. A "Technische Hochschule" is not a standard "Fachhochschule" (University of Applied Sciences) anymore. There is not point whatsoever in insisting in an outdated and now simply inaccurate name.

Talk:Cleaver

message: Where did the following come from? 
To ensure proper use of a cleaver and to avoid injury grasp the handle with one hand. With your other hand, hold the food with your fingertips curled under and your knuckles against the blade, as shown. Then cut carefully, holding the blade against your knuckles as a guide. For safety, lift the cleaver just slightly as you cut. With practice, cutting with a cleaver becomes a very smooth and efficient cutting technique. If you wash your cleaver you can ensure it's maximum shelf life by washing it in warm soapy water and applying a thin coat of vagetable oil on each side.
It reads like the instructions on a package.  It says "as shown" shown where?  The only image in the article didn't show how to use a cleaver.  I think it may be a copyvio, so I've removed it. ~ ONUnicorn (Talk / Contribs) 16:11, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
