Talk:Bavarian Ersatz Division

message: What does 'Ersatz" mean in this context? Gillyweed 04:21, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Ersatz units were replacement units which processed, trained and integrated new recruits before they joined the regular regiment.  Each regiment would have an Ersatz battalion with companies for in-processing, training, out-processing, handling soldiers on leave, etc.  When World War I began, an Ersatz battalion took two of these companies and joined them to those of the other regiment in its brigade to form a new battalion.  These battalions were known as Brigade Replacement Battalions, or Brigade-Ersatz-Bataillone, and took the number of the brigade which formed them.  The Brigade Replacement Battalions were joined to form the Ersatz divisions.  Even though they were no longer pure replacement units, but combat units in their own right, the divisions kept the name "Ersatz" for tradition's sake (although many of the battalions were later joined together and renamed as regular infantry regiments).  In referring to these units, Ersatz is generally left untranslated from German so they are not confused with regular replacement units. Airbornelawyer 05:09, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Søren Kierkegaard/Archive 2

message: I've started an approach that may apply to Wikipedia's Core Biography articles: creating a branching list page based on in popular culture information.  I started that last year while I raised Joan of Arc to featured article when I created Cultural depictions of Joan of Arc, which has become a featured list.  Recently I also created Cultural depictions of Alexander the Great out of material that had been deleted from the biography article.  Since cultural references sometimes get deleted without discussion, I'd like to suggest this approach as a model for the editors here.  Regards, Durova 17:41, 18 October 2006 (UTC)

Certainly something he influenced, but school/tradition seems off.  Am i missing something?
:That's what the "precursor to" designates, as he's not part of the existentialist/pomo/poststruct/neo-orthodox schools, but that they've appropriated many of Kierkegaard's ideas into their respective schools. Poor Yorick 23:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Talk:File inclusion vulnerability/Archive 1

message: Gents,
For me, the RFI "attack" (1) works more because of fopen() wrappers being On and inpout data not being sanitized/cleaned than because of register_globals=On.
Being a PHP guru, I still recommend to use register_globals=On and I'm no fool.
My scripts were never penetrated by attacks such as XSS, RFI...
I recommend correcting the wiki page.
register_globals=On is not the main culprit in succeeding RFI attacks. Having register_globals=Off, the same people would probably not validate the $_GET[] or $_POST[] data either...
Security is to be taught and learnt. Tips : RTFM for addslashes(), urlencode() and urldecode(), strip_tags(), str_replace() and why not eval()
If those "programmers" had begun learning programming with compiled languages and strict teachers, they would not do such stupid mistakes like not validating user input data.
Regards,
VGR
