Talk:M60 machine gun

message: Am I the only one who's ever read this, entry, carefully/properly?
Design
. "The design drew on many common concepts in firearm manufacture of the
period such as stamped steel metal construction". Not really.
. "The M60's gas system was simpler than other gas systems and easier to
clean". Really!? Wot, in not having a gas regulator?
. "It can be stripped using a live around of ammunition as a tool".
I never needed it, for normal cleaning.
. "the M60's stamped sheet receiver". Ha!?
I read somewhere else that its receiver was actually made out of 6
welded strips. Really!?
Design flaws
. "The weapon was poorly balanced, and thus awkward to carry for long
periods", Really!? An almost bullpup MG.
. "High-round-count weapons were also susceptible to stretching of the
receiver and other parts". Really!?
Surely, if anything, the receiver would get compressed.
The only thing I can think of which might conceivably get stretched
is the barrel extension?chamber.
. "The clip has been known to be prone to breakage".
No, it would (just) go flat and fall off.
The bipod legs were brittle and would break, off.
And that carry/ing handle was too skinny. Not that I ever used it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 220.101.38.242 (talk) 05:07, 14 April 2019 (UTC)

thread_title:  FG-42 vs MG-42 

message: Loafiewa, the article currently states:
#"It was intended to replace the M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle and M1919A6 Browning machine gun in the squad automatic weapon role, and in the medium machine gun role"
#"In January 1994, the U.S. Army began the Medium Machine Gun Upgrade Kit program. The only two competitors were M60 and M240 versions."
#"In Army trials during the 1990s the M60E4 produced by Saco Defense was pitted against the M240E4 (then called) produced by FN for a new medium machine gun to be used by the infantry. The competition was to replace the decades-old M60s."
This seems to confirm the M60's status as a medium machine gun.  If you think not - where is the data in the article that supports your stance?  Thanks.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 15:54, 24 March 2022 (UTC)

This does not necessarily mean in prison. Therefore, would it not be better to do this the other way around and move the "prison rape" article here and make it a sub-section, as prison rape is a specific type of custodial rape. — SkyLined (talk) 08:04, 13 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Essay of Dramatick Poesie

message: Why I removed the Orlando reference:  The short version is that I don't think that knowledge of Orlando helps one understand Dryden's essay, though knowledge of Dryden's essay may help one understand Orlando; therefore, it's proper that the Orlando article link to the Dryden essay and not so much the other way around.  Dorset is a fascinating figure, and he's really the person Woolf is interested in (rather than Dryden).  At any rate, that's why I cut the See Also.  It seemed a little distracting.

message: The information about the plague should either be expanded or removed. Since the plague is not mentioned again in the article, it is unnecessary to include in the introduction.

Talk:Copycat

message: Is this article intended to be about mimicry in general or copycat suicides in particular? Either way, it doesn't seem appropriate for the journalism category. Maurreen 01:00, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: I added the journalism category. I must admit that I had not really read the article properly.  Yes, it is about both. It looks like it would be best to create a stub for copycat suicide and separate it from the issue of general mimicry. Once that is done I would argue that it is very appropiate for it to be in a media category. I did not look at all the media categories and picked journalism since journalists are the ones who write news articles for the media. Having just given a workshop for media journalists on the subject of copycat suicide it was uppermost in my mind. Now it is true that copycat suicides are triggered by factors other than media reports but media reports do play a very important role. By putting it in the journalism category I was hoping that journalists would come across it, read it and learn about the phenomenon. --CloudSurfer 02:53, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Talk:Fifth grade

message: from VfD:
IMO superfluous information about "fifth grade". --Logariasmo 01:19, 4 Oct 2004 (UTC)
thread_title: Deletion discussion

message: Having a separate article for each grade doesn't really make a lot of sense, and a single article would do much better justice to them all. Some advantages of merging:
*We could have one article for the US system, one for UK system etc, rather than each article attempting to cover generalities across very different systems.
*The repetetive "students in this grade tend to be aged X" could be avoided.
*A standard format for information could be easily managed.
*Some actual references might be found and used ;)
*"Grade 5" could become a list of pointers to all the differetn grade 5s that exist, like grade 5 in rock climbing, in music, in different years etc.
In short, "fifth grade" would make a great section in an article about the US elementary school system (pretty much what the article is currently about), but it makes a very poor article by itself. Stevage 06:05, 26 October 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: I don't see what's wrong with  as a loose phonetic transcription.   is almost certainly not correct, unless you're telling people how to pronounce the word with an American accent.  There's no good reason to quibble between  and : vowel symbols are all relative anyway, so at looser levels of transcription, you generally go for the more cardinal vowel ([e], in this case).  Besides, Japanese phonology lists the vowel as [e], not [ɛ].  Likewise for [ai] vs. [aI].

message: The reference to Judah Abravanel requires some editing.  The text describes a Judah Abravanel who lived in the 14th century, but the name "Leon Hebreo" refers to a later Judah Abravanel who lived in the 15th and 16th centuries, and was a famous physician and writer.  If one clicks on the name "Judah Abravanel" on this page, one will find that the link is to a piece about the later Judah Abravanel, not the one of the 14th century.  The Abarbanel Hospital in Israel is named after the later Judah Abravanel.  Cervantes also referred to the later Judah in his Prologue to Don Quixote:
Si tratáredes de amores, con dos onzas que sepáis de la lengua toscana, toparéis con León Hebreo, que os hincha las medidas.
If you should deal with love, with two ounces you may know of Tuscan you can go to Leon the Hebrew, who will supply you to your heart's content.

message: James Boad, can you please not make false accusations of the Bible based on your own misinterpretation of what it says. What you claim as contradictory verses, are not read in their rightful context. If you are interested in getting to know the Bible better, I am happy to make time to discuss this with you, so you do not spread your propaganda and leave your readers questioning their faith. 
When we read the Bible, we need to read it for the purposes of getting to know our God at a deeper level. We need to want to have a relationship with Him. We need to open our minds and hearts to wanting to understand God's wisdom through His Word. Never ever read the Bible just to point fingers or for criticism of what it contains. That in itself is so wrong as it defeats the whole purpose. As a writer you would know that the totality of the information is so important to have an informed understanding of the book. Extracting parts of it to reveal flaws is just so wrong because you are not providing the true meaning and reasoning behind those verses.
Knowing Jesus has been the best feeling ever. He is so real and alive in my life, as in others who believe. You are clearly not interested in getting to know His true identity, but have chosen to focus on the negatives in everything. That in itself speaks volumes about you as a person. 
Being a writer, you need to dive right in, head on, to explore the beauty of every single experience and gain not just the knowledge of the text, but the wisdom behind each verse written therein. 
I request you to go back and read the Bible again. This time, just pray before you start and ask Jesus to help you to understand it, the way it is meant to be understood. Ask for humility and surrender to be able to focus not on what you want out of it, but rather on what Jesus wants you to get from reading His Word. 
Being a Christian is a blessing. You know our God on a personal level and have an ongoing relationship with Him, living in total surrender,  obedience and loving kindness, walking in humility and compassion. Try this approach and see how you go. Don't give up on Jesus. Come back to Him. Read the Bible again once more, but with a yearning for the real truth, not to critique oor misquote it. I challenge you to give it one more try. 2001:8003:E80D:9401:89D9:809A:DB23:4A03 (talk) 12:41, 13 February 2022 (UTC)
