Talk:Battle of Chillicothe

message: I've proposed this article for deletion.  The cited source is not reliable; more reliable sources describe Chillicothe as being abandoned when word of George Rogers Clark's movements was received.  According to some sources (e.g. ,, to pick two sources out of Google Books), he destroyed Shawnee winter supplies and five villages, but met with no substantive resistance.
It might be that Clark's raid of November 1782 (please please pick a better title) should be written, but "Battle of Chillicothe" appears to be the wrong name. Magic♪piano 19:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, no battles took place at Chillicothe in 1782, and there's not much in this stub that is accurate about Clark's 1782 expedition. The "Battle of Chillicothe" actually refers to the 1779 engagement led by Col. John Bowman in which Shawnee Chief Blackfish received his mortal wound. I'll fix up the stub with the correct info. —Kevin Myers 21:02, 27 November 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Fort Wayne

message: Fort Wayne, Indiana did not exist until 1794. A battle during the Harmar Campaign took place in October 1790 near the Native American village of Kekionga, which in turn was near the site of Fort Wayne when it was built. The battle occurred on October 22, not October 18. The commander of the American force was Colonel John Hardin, a Kentucky militia officer. This force included fewer than half of General Josiah Harmar's army and only a few regular army soldiers. Harmar's first name was Josiah, not Joseph, which is why the name is red linked in the article. Harmar was the overall commander of the expedition, which originally had about 1,400 soldiers, mostly militiamen. Harmar refused to come to Hardin's aid when told of the size of the Indian force which attacked Hardin's detachment on October 22. In the absence of any verification for this stub, it probably should be deleted with perhaps one or two redirects to the Harmar Campaign added. It certainly would need to revised, with some sources (perhaps from the Harmar Campaign article), and possible re-titled. Most if not all of this information can be verified from the articles linked in this paragraph. Donner60 (talk) 07:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC)

message: The current information in the article lists 4 deaths for the 187th and unknown losses for the Chinese and North Korean forces.  However the source for these claims is no longer available, even in the archive.  The most current information I can find lists 19 deaths for the 187th, with an unknown amount of wounded, along with 136 Chinese/Korean KIA and 149 captured.  I am going to edit the article to reflect this information - but I am open to discussing it if you do not approve of the change or can provide a new source.  I hate to remove someone else's sources and work, but the only figure matching 4 KIA I found was on a website that cited this very article as its source.

Talk:Pentax LX

message: I have removed the following pieces of text from this article, either because they are unsourced or because I believe them to be inaccurate or not encyclopedic.
:As of 31/12/06 Pentax charges $130 plus parts and shipping to service the LX.
Since a service's cost depends on what is done, I have my doubts.  Maybe Pentax charges $130 for a CLA (clean-lube-adjust) but I see no references.
:The view of the focusing screen is dimmer than other Pentax models because of the extra optics necessary to make a removable viewfinder.There is a "brite screen",SC-69 which increases the brightness one half stop,a better solution is to use a fast lens with a f/1.4 focusing aperature.The Pentax description for the SC-69 is natural-brite-matte while other screens are clear-brite-matte,the ambigious names indicate an ambigious difference.
No extra optics are required to give a removable viewfinder.  The SC-69 screen, according to http://www.bdimitrov.de/kmp/focusing/screens/index.html, gives only 1/6 of a stop's increase in brightness - while this is perceptible, it's not huge.  The LX only has a partially-silvered mirror, which passes 15% of the light for the meter; this may be a cause for some dimness, but I have not seen any reports of the LX being especially bad in this regard.
:The viewfinder has a plastic window which is not as optically clear as glass and scratches easily and can be replaced with glass from a microscope slide blank.
Unreferenced personal observation
:Brassing is a traditional way to determine the value of a camera but the LX is well sealed from environmental damage so external wear does not indicate equal internal wear.
Again, personal observation. Matthew Brown (Morven) (T:C) 16:44, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed text 

message: Throughout this section, the Pentax LX implementation of OTF metering (copied from Olympus and introduced only after the Olympus patent expired) is frought with errors; referred to as a "refined" version of the Olympus OM-2, described in hyperbole "as much or more (sophisticated) than any camera of it's time" and generally parrots Pentax' marketing weasle-words from the 1980 launch of the LX.  The fact is that the 1980 LX implementation was arguably inferior to even the original 1974 OM-2; and moreover by the time the LX was finally released, Olympus OM-2n and OM-10 implementations were vastly improved and the LX implementation was archaic by comparison.  Without objection, I will be revising accordingly  ElectroNautical (talk) 15:39, 8 May 2024 (UTC)

message: The Ziggens eschewed fame and fortune for more humble lives in large part due to their strong religious convictions, particularly where family is concerned. As such there is little 3rd party reference material to go on. They are arguably contemporaries of Sublime,  as can be attested to by anyone who has had contact with members from either band and by the fact that the Ziggens were one of the few bands on the Sublime tribute album, Look At All The Love We`ve Found. All this said, they are popular in the punk/ska scene in the US but most bands of these genres have limited success when compared to main stream music. That said, record sales do not directly equate to influence and popularity and are a very poor metric in terms of a band's influence and impact on the American music scene.

message: While trying to take out a PK with machine guns is futile, not only energy guns can be used to harm them.

Talk:Princess Elisabeth Albertine of Saxe-Hildburghausen

message: What about the possibility of this family/person having Sephardic Jewish ancestry?  There were MANY Sephardic Jews in Spain/Portugal (hundreds of thousands of them), but many of them were driven out of the Spanish and Portuguese Inquisitions (those that did not want to be expelled would face the death penalty, or they could convert to Catholicism and become "New Christians," or "marranos"/"conversos"). However, before they were expelled from both countries (from Spain in 1492; Portugal in 1497) these Jews often intermarried to some extent with the royalty and upper-classes of those countries, and thus some lingered on in those countries a bit even after the vast bulk had been expelled (many remain even today).  So possibly this person/family had some Sephardic Jewish ancestry? Please note that these Sephardic Jews are different from the Eastern European Ashkenazi Jews. --172.144.52.244 06:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
