Talk:Dimitri Verhulst

message: ==Untitled==
First off, I am a total noob to Verhulst's work. But having done a bit of research, I was somewhat shocked that no patterns were mentioned when discussing e.g. La Merditude des Choses. It seems that either critics who can't fathom these circumstances are giving more or less negative reviews or other critics, who see this state of affairs as an unchangeable facet of society, think it is only a comedic account of a way of life. It seems to me that Verhulst did a great job of pointing out destructive behavior patterns of people under the influence of "soft" drugs in a culturally starved environment. Verhulst also pointed out various successful and unsuccessful attempts to break this vicious cycle. Bottom line: I am surprised, no one came up with a summary of patterns extracted from Verhulsts plots. Can anyone who knows his works better than I comment if there are any articles that provide an overview of themes and patterns in Verhulst's works?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.80.109.160 (talk) 06:02, 23 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Owned by a civilian compagny ( Messagerie Maritime ) , the ship was clearly an civilian freight and passenger ship .
Why that ship is tagged as a Warship ??
It would also be interesting how the ship ended in the USN , did the crew defected to Free France  or was forced by the bording force .
It could also been interesting to investigate that point . 2A01:CB00:456:9C00:5D7E:D4C1:F17B:B7C8 (talk) 07:40, 14 March 2024 (UTC)

message: The top photo, showing the Ruddy arriving Pearl Harbor was taken by me on 28 January 1955. The photo was taken from the accompanying USS Zeal, AM-131, which carried the commodore's flag.
Both the Zeal and the Ruddy sailed together from Long Beach, California, 20 January 1955, and then both departed Pearl on the 3 February 1955, bound for Sasebo, Japan, which they both reached on February 16, 1955.
The "rough sea" photo of the Ruddy (shown below in the text) was taken by me shortly after we sailed from Pearl and was not associated with the typhoon we hit in the Sea of Japan shortly before arriving Japan.

Talk:USS Tennessee (BB-43) 1944

message: When the units are given in yards, then you convert them into meters in the metric system. No sudden changes to kilometers or centimeters are allowed.
In the metric system, BIG guns are measured with bores in centimenters, and not in millimenters. This ought to be common sense. I don't go the the store and order soup by the milliliter. I use larger units for larger things. I buy coal by the tonne, not by the gram.
For example: 30 cm and not 300 mm
Kilometers per hour is abbreviated k.p.h. Simple, isn't it? (No fractions, etc.)
The U.S. Navy has long had standard ways of expressing gun bores in the English system. Use them: 3-inch, 4-inch, 5-inch, 6-inch, 8-inch, 10-inch, 11-inch, 12-inch, 14-inch, 15-inch, 16-inch. 
I bet that you will find the same in the long histories of the R.N., R.A.N., R.C.N., R.N.Z.N., etc.
In this article, the USS Tennessee was stated as having some 6-inch guns. I don't think that this was ever true! 6-inch guns are for cruisers.
Our Navy has had 18-inch and 21-inch torpedoes, and some I.J.N. torpedoes were listed as 24-inch by us - but only fires from surface ships: cruisers and destroyers. Submarines and aircraft had smaller torpedoes. 
Our Navy has had smaller weapons with explosive shells measured as 20-mm, 25-mm, and 40-mm. The few ships of the Zumwalt class will have 155-mm guns (6.1-inch). If you ever see 76-mm, that is the same as 3-inch, but made in Italy for the Oliver Hazard Perry class frigates. The 25-mm gun is the same rapid-fire gun that goes on a Bradley Fighting Vehicle for the Army.
There are exactly 60 nautical miles in one degree of latitude - but not longitude, where it varies.

message: The Thrush left San Diego the day after the signing of the treaty with Japan with a destination of Hawaii.  Just out of Boot Camp at Great Lakes, the Thrush was my first ship.  That first day at sea, although VERY seasick, I watched as depth charges were released, just in case the Japanese submarines did not get the message about the end of the war.

message: I've tagged for notability but want to say more here.  This is an interesting case of someone who apparently did things which, if those things are memorialized in appropriate sources, would probably make him notable for WP purposes.  And yet one can imagine that, perhaps unfairly, such sources might not exist beyond the newspaper obit already cited.  I really don't know if that would be enought for WP:N. It's interesting to contrast August Vollmer who, for all we know, wasn't that much more innovative in his field than Kenney was in his, but who certainly got much more coverage -- which is what counts.

message: This is the communications team at Hammersmith Council - we own Hammersmith Bridge and would like to correct a line that says previous works to the bridge were delayed by a dispute between us and Transport for London over funding.

:The BBC headline appears to summarise the contents of their news story accurately.

The claim is pointless (and highly dubious) if the TAP had equivalent armed groups operating in Poland more than a year earlier. It just looks distinctly un-NPOV at present. I have made a couple of small changes, but I think the claim re the first real resistance military unit in occupied Europe is clearly contradicted by a combination of V&T p. 88 and the existence of the TAP well before this detachment was formed.
