Talk:Thames Ironworks and Shipbuilding Company

Talk:Edward Eggleston

message: It is worth noting that the Edward Eggleston who authored a 1913 book titled The Ultimate Solution of the American Negro Problem was apparently not the same person this article is about. The latter died in 1902, whereas the former wrote the preface to the aforementioned book in 1912. A historian (George M. Fredrickson, The Black Image in the White Mind, p. 250) likewise refers to "Eggleston (a Virginian, not the Indiana novelist)" when mentioning the book. Hence my edit to this article. --Ismail (talk) 09:22, 31 December 2021 (UTC)

Talk:William Hutchinson (Rhode Island judge)

message: "William Hutchinson grew up in Alford where he was the warden of his church in 1620 and 1621. He then became a merchant in the cloth trade and moved to London.[2] Here he renewed a friendship from Alford with Anne Marbury, the daughter of Francis Marbury and Bridget Dryden, and the couple were married on 9 August 1612 at the Church of Saint Mary Woolnoth on Lombard Street in London." This literally asserts that William Hutchinson moved to London in 1621 or afterwards, following which he married Anne Marbury in 1612. 
More problematic is the fact that the cited source #2, Joseph Lemuel Chester in The New England Historical and Genealogical Register 20:355, Oct 1866, says nothing whatsoever about William Hutchinson having ever (1) been a "merchant in the cloth trade" or (2) having ever "moved to London." To the contrary, it says only that he "was baptized at Alford on the 14th of August, 1586, and evidently resided there until the time of his emigration" and that "in the Parish Register his name occurs as Church Warden in the year 1620-1." Similarly, the cited sources Robert Charles Anderson, John Denison Champlin, and Gary Boyd Roberts say nothing about William Hutchinson having ever resided in London or being a cloth merchant. If there is any basis for either of these assertions, that source should be cited, not a source that patently does not say what the citation claims it says. pnh (talk) 13:41, 20 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:John B. Timberlake

message: This article states Timerlake's suicide was caused by his financial problems without mentioning the rumors surrounding his wife's closeness with his best friend John Eaton (described as "being such the good man that he was").  I'm not sure this is balanced.
Regardless, he did not commit suicide--he died of pneumonia.  I have added citation to this effect, as well as a general rearrangement of the citation/link portion at the end of the article.  I would agree there is bias, but it is actually anti-Eaton rather than the other way around.  I will try to get back to this article later, and actually put in the time to put proper citations for all of the material.  This edit was simply to remove a factual error.

message: " The Swahili culture and language began to take form around the 2nd-3rd century AD, as a consequence of the highly successful Persians and Arab merchants and explorers creating trading settlements on the Swahili Coast and nearby islands and mixing with the local Bantu people. "
:Mohammed (570-632) didn't have a look in until the 6th century AD. Why are Swalili settlements in the 2nd and 3rd centuries attributed to Persians and Arabs? This is what the actual source given says, which is a UNESCO page: "The Swahili are urbanised African muslims, who have integrated many Asian cultural and architectural features into their own traditions. Written records of the trade links between Africa and Asia date back to the 1st century AD. But the trade reached its peak in the 15th century, referred to as the "golden age" of Swahili civilisation. Mogadishu, Pate, Lamu, Mombasa and Zanzibar are thriving towns still today. Indian, Arabic and African building traditions blend together to form a unique and cosmopolitan architectural heritage. Text: George H.O. Abungu."MrSativa (talk) 05:25, 22 March 2015 (UTC)

Talk:Deployment descriptor

message: Is the term realy so specif?? Or is it a general term for a configuration file that describes an artefact that is deployt to some container??
::The claim that DD refers to web component descriptors (web.xml) is clearly wrong. The Java EE 5 tutorial has this to say: 
"There are two types of deployment descriptors: Java EE and runtime. A Java EE deployment
descriptor is defined by a Java EE specification and can be used to configure deployment settings
on any Java EE-compliant implementation. A runtime deployment descriptor is used to
configure Java EE implementation-specific parameters. For example, the Sun Java System
Application Server Platform Edition 9 runtime deployment descriptor contains information such as the context root of a web application, the mapping of portable names of an application’s
resources to the server’s resources, and Application Server implementation-specific parameters,
such as caching directives. The Application Server runtime deployment descriptors are named
sun-moduleType.xml and are located in the same META-INF directory as the Java EE
deployment descriptor."

replies: text: Really? I haven't seen too many IPA transcriptions that have seemed contentious to me, although I haven't made a systematic study of it. I mean, most of the correspondences between G.Am. and RP are so regular that you can 'translate' them readily in your head – except where they're irregular, in which case you can surely just write out both. Is there someplace I should go ("WP:IPA coordination" or something) to make some positive sort of contribution? QuartierLatin1968  19:16, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Remember that most British people, for example, don't speak RP.  IPA transcriptions of British English tend to be very biased towards RP, using symbols like  which are not appropriate for the sounds found in many other British accents.  Using a cross-dialectal non-IPA transcription like this one (where oe is the vowel in goat, regardless of whether you say  or  or  or  or whatever) seems to me to be better at representing a wider range of English accents than IPA-based transcriptions.  (It's not so bad if you use phonemic rather than phonetic IPA transcriptions, but even there there are problems, like distinctions that RP has lost but other dialects have retained, and you also get into debates about what style of phonemic transcriptions to use.)--JHJ 20:49, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

text: The IPA for English article, which unofficially sets the norm for Wikipedia, has different conventions for different dialects. I've seen heated arguments over 'cultural imperialism' in several articles when the IPA is used for English pronunciation — usually a disagreement over GA vs RP, but sometimes Oz or NZ. People haven't gotten upset over the use of the IPA in the astronomy articles, and my guess is that's because the pronunciation respelling accommodates their dialect, and they see the IPA as being for non-native speakers or for people linguistically sophisticated enough to move between dialects. It's no real effort to add the pronunciation respelling, it seems to avoid arguments, and it accommodates a wider audience. The only negative I can see is a possible lack of standardization, but that's what this key is meant to settle. kwami 20:13, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
