Talk:Loggia dei Lanzi

message: Would someone please identify the virtues of trefoils. Thank you.
They are the four cardinal virtues:
A Fortitude
B Temperance
C Justice
D Prudence 
They all have standard iconographic attributes that I can reference from my book on the symbolism of the Tarot or from Hall’s book on Italian iconography.  The only problem is that Justice seems to has lost her sword and her hand holding her scales.
Robert Place, author of The Tarot: History, Symbolism, and Divination
Fortitude is usually represented with a weapon and armor (in this case, a shield). Temperance always carries two jars and pours water from one into the other. Justice carries the sword and scales and Prudence has a mirror. At the Galleria Uffizi there is a set of Allegories of the Virtues, by Botticelli that pretty much uses the standard iconography.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 186.206.168.210 (talk) 13:25, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  WikiProject Military history/Assessment/Tag & Assess 2008 

message: G'day, I have the following comments/suggestions for improvement;
* structure: there is one main heading, I wonder if this could be broken up a bit more;
* this source has some good info: Organising for jungle warfare, pp 86-101
*I wonder if more context couldn't be added by talking about the early divisional establishment and the focus of the Army's early campaigns being in the desert, then discuss the shift towards the Pacific as the main theatre of Army operations...?
* inconsistent terminology: CMF and Militia. I suggest using Militia, as it wasn't technically the CMF until 1948 (I believe);
* more could possibly be said about the need for flexibility: some areas allowed more equipment than others (the Organising for jungle warfare chapter I've linked to above mentions this);
* I wonder if something could be added about whether or not the Army kept the jungle division after the war. (They didn't, but you could mention it - see p 101 of Palazzo "Organising for jungle warfare"). Additionally maybe a mention of the parallels to Australian forces committed to the region later might be made (p. 95 Organising for jungle warfare).

message: I'm redirecting Randism to Ayn Rand and away from Objectivism (Ayn Rand). Randism, I would presume, would be all of the beliefs and opinions held by Ayn Rand.

replies: text: That was a mistake and you should have held off on such a major change until you got a consensus.  Randism is a synonym for Objectivism , so it should point to what it means, not to a related article.

text: No, you don't have a citation. A link to a website  of a self-published website of unknown authorship is meaningless. Review our sourcing policy.

thread_title: infobox

message: I noticed that these barracks were NOT in the listing for the WIKI category: Category:Military buildings and structures in Queensland.
However, the Lavarack Barracks IS LISTED in the category: Category:Military installations in Queensland.
I note that the former category includes a few active bases, but a number of inactive or historical bases, whereas the latter category is ALL Active bases. Someone should take a look at these two categories: perhaps there is a 'starting' date (i.e. historical) associated with being in one or the other category??
The other option would be to 'clean-up' and perhaps rename the former category with the addition of "Historical" in the category title, and the latter category with "Active" in the category title.
I think this would clear up the confusion, and make it clear why a military base was listed in either category, or perhaps in Both -- if a historical base was still in active use today.

thread_title:  Misinformation due to his rank - General Bridges died at sea on a Hospital Ship after receiving a wound whilst at Gallipoli 

message: Technically his allegiance should be British as there was no Australian nationality or citizenship in his lifetime. In the first paragraph he is described as an Australian, which is also somewhat questionable (despite having an 'Australian' mother) given that he was born in Scotland. This is a widespread issue on Wikipedia arising from the projection of contemporary worldviews onto the stories of people who flourished in very different times.
Under the heading of Military career - Early career and Boer War, the colony of New South Wales raised a military contingent consisting of an infantry battalion, with artillery and supporting units, for service with the British.
Suggest the British was a poor choice of words since New South Welsh colonists were British subjects, and therefore also British.
