Talk:Yakup Ağa

message: His father cannot be a janissary sipahi because such thing doesn't exist and never existed. I have never read or heard of such a thing like a janissary sipahi. What is that supposed to be then? Everybody with some knowledge about the Ottoman military system, would know: 
*That a janissary is an infantryman and a sipahi is a cavalryman. So it is impossible to be an infantry and cavalry soldier at the same time. 
*A sipahi was given land by the sultan in new conquered areas. This was not given to janissaries. Yakup Aga, was given land for his military services. 
*Janissaries were not allowed to marry, they lived in their barracks. So if Yakup Aga was a janissary how come he gets married? 
*Janissaries and Sipahis were different types of soldiers. 
*Also it is not possible to be an janissary and then turn into a sipahi and vice-versa.
THUS he was a Sipahi and NOT a Janissary Sipahi.
And I do no invent this, all other sources call his father a Sipahi. They do not mention anything about janissary.
If you want more information read the janissary and sipahi article.
I want to congratulate the person who found the source for 'janissary sipahi', because for finding such a weird source

Talk:Silent Running (disambiguation)

message: I just finished building this disambiguation page, and can't find any reliable reference that indicates 'Silent Running' is a real sub-mariner term. My gut feeling is that it's a fictional term, perhaps related back to the movie Run Silent, Run Deep.

thread_title: WP:MILHIST Assessment

message: The delivery date given in the article is two years early. The ship was indeed ordered in 1853 by the Bakufu in their regular diplomatic contacts with the Dutch government representative in Deshima (together with another steam corvette) but at  first the Dutch government was not very enthusiastic. In 1855 things speeded up and the Dutch-navy side-wheeler Soembing, on a mission to deliver an electro-magnetic telegraph machine, was left behind in Nagasaki. This ship was renamed Kanko Maru. Meanwhile, the order for the steam corvettes apparently got filled and on September 21, 1857 the steam corvette Japan arrived on the Nagasaki roadstead under command of lt. Willem Huyssen van Kattendijke. This was later renamed to Kanrin Maru. This information is already in the wikipedia article just referenced. But my source is .--Ereunetes (talk) 20:24, 25 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I was, with some difficulty, able to find the builder. It turns out to be Fop Smit in Kinderdijk, The Netherlands. Once I knew the original name Japan and the captain on its maiden voyage (Kattendijke) I was able to find a reference that gave the place of construction as Kinderdijk. See Tijdschrift voor Nederlandsch Indië, vol. 52 (1861), p. 116. Next I found the reference to the Bali I included in the article, which mentions the Japan in an indirect way and provides the interesting information that the Bali and the Japan were virtually identical sisterships. This allowed me to verify the engine capacity and speed. I tried to provide external links to google books, where I found the two references, but ran afoul of a spam filter notice.

Talk:Japanese barque Kankō Maru

message: The article refers to the Dutch East India Company as the owner of Soembing. However, that company had been liquidated in 1800 (as the wikipedia page referred to clearly states). The Soembing was actually presented to the Shogun by the Nederlandsche Handel-Maatschappij (NHM) on behalf of King William III of the Netherlands. The NHM had taken over the role of the VOC in the Dutch relations with Japan after 1824. However, the NHM, and its representative in Deshima, Donker Curtius, only acted as agents. The Soembing was owned by the Dutch navy. I have therefore made the necessary edits and added an online source in English.--Ereunetes (talk) 23:02, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Survivors 

message: As of writing this, the variants outlined in the Variants section are in line with those mentioned in The Complete Encyclopedia of World Aircraft by David Donald and a few other sources in English literature, however the information seems in conflict with some other sources in English and Japanese literature. It doesn't make much sense that the otsu variant (キ44-II乙) comes after the hei variant (キ44-II丙) in terms of serial number, equipment used (telescopic sight vs reflex sight), and defies the logic of Japanese naming convention. It seems like good faith edits in the past slipped past me due to having uncommented edits.
Also, I have not been able to find references to usage of  on production aircraft. The cited source seems to be Aircraft of World War II by Jeffrey L. Ethell. Could someone provide me with the exact quote to which this can be concluded from? I have not found a reference to such armament configuration.
So there are many inconsistencies in David Donald's book concerning Japanese aircraft so I've changed it such that it is more inline with IJAAF naming scheme and makes more sense. Until a more reliable source comes up, I believe it should as I've edited back to. Mikechou2 (talk) 05:28, 23 August 2020 (UTC)

People see the future and one turns into a giant worm after letting some alien creature live in his skin. Want to just contemplate for a half second the biology behind that one?

However given all the other suspension of disbelief needed to make this story work WOMEN BEING TOP NOTCH WARRIORS IS THE ONE THAT TROUBLES YOU? Now come on. That's just silly in perspective. If I'm gonna assume humans at that point can alter their structure at the nano level, can predict future events, process and store more information then the greatest computers, and can turn into a giant worm... well a few chicks getting the extra strength per pound to be equal or greater then men physically (while men aren't given an accompanyting boost) is a very small leap in comparison.

message: You have made repeated attempts to turn this disambiguation page into an article about an actor.  I believe this to be a good faith effort, but there are some serious flaws in the way you're going about it.  For one, the actor is clearly not the primary topic for the name "Shan".  For another, your article has not included references to any reliable sources and has not established the subject's notability.  Here are my suggestions on how you should proceed:
# If you are the person mentioned in the prospective article, please read Wikipedia's guideline on autobiographies and seriously consider having a neutral third party work on this.
# If you are not this person and decide to proceed, find links to some reliable sources which establish the subject's notability, such as magazine articles or film reviews.
# Re-write the article to incorporate the information from these sources, and cite them appropriately.
# Publish the article under an unambiguous name such as "Shan Serif" or "Shan (Indian actor)".  The name "Shan" is not specific enough, and "Shan (actor)" already redirects to the Pakistani actor Shaan Shahid.

message: Article says:
Although the B7A had a weight carrying capacity apparently resulting in a weapons load no greater than its predecessors, in fact the presence of an internal bomb bay with two high-load-capability attachment points allowed the aircraft to carry two 250 kg bombs, something no other Japanese single engine fighter or attack aircraft could do (other aircraft had only a single heavy-load attachment point, and there was no known example of an external rack to adapt a single attachment point to multiple heavy bombs).
''
Article about B5N (2 generations older) says it could carry as much as 3 250Kg bombs. Japanese fighters of the time or older like Ki-43, Ki-84, N1K also carried 2x250Kg. Maybe article meant to say B7A could carry 2 250Kg internally?
