Talk:Doubloon

message: __TOC__
This should not be moved to Wiktionary. Any type of coin should be a topic for a dictionary article. Burschik 10:44, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I understand the dubloon also referred to an 8 escudo coin, divided in equal parts, hence the pirate movie phrase...  Trekphiler 09:40, 29 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: And why do you think it's called a DOUBLoon? it's because it's a double escudo. The 8 thing, as mentioned above is for the 8 real piece of eight, a quarter of the original doubloon. --Svartalf (talk) 06:08, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Roman Emperor (Crisis of the Third Century)

message: I cannot successfully parse the first two sentences of the article:
:"During the Crisis of the Third Century marked the end of the early phase of Imperial Roman government, the Principate. A series of soldiers, the Barracks Emperors, assumed the office of Roman Emperor as the previous system of Imperial government, in which the Emperor had functioned within the fiction of a preservation of the old republican forms of government."
Does the following capture the intended meaning?
:"The Crisis of the Third Century marked the end of the Principate, the early phase of Imperial Roman government. A series of soldiers, the Barracks Emperors, assumed the highest office, leading to the breakdown of the previous system of Imperial government, in which the Emperor had functioned within the fiction of a preservation of the old republican forms of government."

replies: text: Crisis of the third century should be a seperate article because so many articles link to that phrase, its significant enough to have its own article. The two articles could merge, but probably in name only, they are different approaches and complimentary.

thread_title: Move German Culture -> German culture

message: I only noticed now that this page has been moved away from Culture of Germany. I find this move quite disturbing, since it reminds me of Nazi reasoning. I live in Luxembourg, and during WWII Luxembourg was annexed and all Luxembourgish culture (which had started to develop in the country since independence in ~1830) was suppressed. People with French names had to adopt German names. Culture in general was twisted into a German perspective. The motto of the whole this was Heim ins Reich - back to the Reich. My criticism is that since 1918, and certainly since 1945, the various German-speaking countries (i.e. Austria and Switzerland, mostly) have developped their own cultural traditions and trends. So this page is certainly informative concerning the pre-German Empire culture in German-speaking countries, but not really for culture in Austria, Germany and Switzerland since. In any case, the whole article mostly mentions culture of Germany. Luis rib 20:56, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
