Talk:Zoology of the Voyage of H.M.S. Beagle

message: What does "in introductions to the first number of each" mean? -- Stbalbach 19:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Darwin wrote introductory sections to the first instalment, or "number", of each of the first two "Parts". Calling them volumes is confusing, as the publishers issued it as five or three volumes: see http://darwin-online.org.uk/EditorialIntroductions/Freeman_ZoologyOfBeagle.html and feel free to clarify the sentence. Ta, .. dave souza, talk 19:42, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ok it's confusing. Since the parts list already mentions Darwin's specific contribution, it seems redundant and confusing to explain it in the main text. Since he was "editor", who often include prefaces and introductions, it kind of covers it. -- Stbalbach 17:05, 15 March 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Smart projectiles

message: Isn't the defining characteristic of a Mortar (weapon) the fact that its muzzle-loaded and doesn't have a Breechloader? So why is the Tyulpan classified as a mortar when it is breech-loaded? Mztourist (talk) 08:14, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: No. Yes, the "mortar" article states: "A mortar is usually (...) muzzle-loaded weapon". But it doesn´t have to be. The 2S4 ticks other boxes like "indirect fire only" and it has a light build, resulting in a low muzzle velocity, somewhat half of what contemporary artillery, like the M115, guns can develop. Alexpl (talk) 17:05, 10 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: So it should be classified as a Gun-mortar then. Mztourist (talk) 06:11, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: No, the procedure to set it up is lengthy, making it vunerable. So it is usually placed further back where it doesn´t have direct line-of-sight to it´s target, like the smaller calibre gun-mortars are supposed to have. Alexpl (talk) 12:58, 15 January 2024 (UTC)

text: Another answer is that the Russian sources on the 2S4 refer to it as a mortar. Btw, like their towed M-240 mortar, the 2S4 has a base-plate to absorb the massive recoil. So unlike e.g. the 2S9, the tracked chassis of the 2S4 is there to move the barrel and base-plate (and facilitate the breech loading), not to absorb the recoil. Lklundin (talk) 13:17, 15 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Recoil absorbtion is a good point. That could explain why, for ex, the german 21 cm GrW 69 was designated as a mortar while also beeing a breechloader like the 2S4. Alexpl (talk) 08:30, 19 January 2024 (UTC)

siarach 19:34, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I've expanded the table to give three columns for monolingual, bilingual and total, which I think is clearer. Also, I've brought the percentages in beside the actual figures. I think that is much clearer. However I have not yet filled in all the fields. This could be done quite quickly with a calculator. But before we do it, perhaps siarach can just check that so far the figures are all in the right places. This new layout makes explicit what the old one implied, but I have a slight worry that the old one was misleading. For example, did the "bilingual" column really mean only bilinguals, or was it in fact the total? Also, are you quite sure that the figures in the first three rows relate to monolinguals, and not to the total Gaelic community? This needs to be checked again, then we can fill in the rest of the table by simple arithmetic and I think the result will be a big improvement. --Doric Loon (talk) 10:11, 27 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:List of United States political positions appointed by the Executive Branch

message: I normally shy away from political articles on Wikipedia. It seems one has to back up every statement with numerous impeccable sources and even then any disparaging information (even if true) gets removed. Most of the political articles on Wikipedia are disgustingly bland even if the person in questions is a scoundrel.
It seems that in the last six years the Bush administration has made a habit of appointing people to positions who actively hate the agency they are heading up and do everything in their power to weaken and cripple that agency. Like appointing a coal mine owner to the department of mine safety, or someone who hates environmentalism to head the EPA. The recent scandal involving US attorneys being fired for not going after Democrats, or conversely, for going after Republicans is also a perfect example.
Maybe I'm just too young to have noticed previous Presidents who have done this.
Because of this, however, when I see a person on the news speaking I want to know if they were appointed by the President, and more importantly, if they can be removed by the President at whim. Many times the news cites such people as 'knowledgeable sources' but if they serve at the whim of the President then for all intents and purposes they are spouting his party rhetoric and ideology.
Since this is a simple list (albeit it could become quite long) I don't think stating simple facts would engender too many NPOV/revert wars.
