Talk:10th century in literature

message: Apologies for not starting a discussion on this sooner – I thought the case for the merge was straightforward, and since no one objected, got on with merging; however there isn't (to my knowledge) a template indicating that a merge is in progress, so I left the usual ones be. My plan is to continue working my way through 10th century in poetry and adding the poets and poems I can find sources for to 10th century in literature, then work through 900s in poetry, 910s in poetry, etc. (which can be redirected to the literature article when their contents are duplicated). I think 10th century in literature has always included poets and their works, because literature necessarily includes poetry. In medieval literature especially, the lines are somewhat blurred – the most historically significant works of certain cultures' literature are often poetry, meaning that if the literature article were to miss, for example, Beowulf, it would give the reader a flawed sense of the literature of the period. If this article grows to the point where WP:SIZESPLIT applies (and I don't think it will), then I'd suggest splitting along geographical lines – 10th century in Japanese poetry, 10th century in Arabic literature, etc. – rather than along a false literature/poetry dichotomy. – Arms & Hearts (talk) 16:23, 25 September 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Manhattan Missions

message: "The gameplay is similar to the original Prince of Persia," - Aside from the issue of stating this opinion in Wikipedia's voice, it's a worthless statement to anyone who hasn't played the original PoP. I don't think this needs to be included at all. Argento Surfer (talk) 14:26, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, that the mechanic of having characters switch from walking mode to fighting stance is an objective fact of both games, so it's not really an opinion. As for why the comparison is relevant, I concede that readers unfamiliar with the early PoP games might not see the relevance, but as the games were contemporaneous, it is a valid comparison. oknazevad (talk) 14:57, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: It might have been valid to gamers at the time, but surely there have been other games since using the same technique? If the similarity was remarked upon by reviewers or guides, it should be attributed to those individuals in a Reception section. Argento Surfer (talk) 15:15, 20 November 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Philosophy

message: I was going through the page and released the Philosophy#Western, Philosophy#Arabic–Persian, and Philosophy#Chinese subsections under the Philosophy#History section have images of a philosopher from their respective traditions, but the Philosophy#Indian and the Philosophy#Other traditions subsections do not have one.  
This is a request to add an images of a philosopher from the respective traditions and to decide which philosopher or image should be added.  
For the Philosophy#Indian, I believe Nagarjuna, Adi Shankara, or Swami Vivekananda would be the best as they were very influential and well known.  
In Philosophy#Other traditions Japanese philosophy, African philosophy, and Indigenous American philosophy are discussed.  I believe it would be the most appropriate to add a philosopher from either African philosophy or Indigenous American philosophy as the previous two traditions are not well known and Japanese philosophy is heavily influenced by both Chinese and Indian philosophy.   GayaniGojo (talk) 21:08, 24 May 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for pointing out this oversight, I added an image of Adi Shankara. I don't think that we need an image for the section "Other traditions" but if there are concrete suggestions of well-known representative figures, we could consider them. Phlsph7 (talk) 07:38, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

Talk:C-RAM

message: "35mm Skyshield, a German rotary wing air defense system."
WTF is this? "rotary wing"?
The system is mostly based on Swiss technology afaik, and the autocannon in question is the 35/1000, a revolver autocannon.
Nothing rotary wing - it's "revolver".
The project is German, but afaik most tech is from Switzerland (Oerlikon?).
It uses the 35mm AHEAD cartridge.
Btw, much of the C-RAM and M-THEL stuff won't work well against insensitive munitions. Something like this should be mentioned.
Lastdingo (talk) 23:00, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The "rotary wing" phrase is likely in reference to the vehicle the system defends - not the defence system itself.  It defends "rotary wing" aircraft - ie: helicopters. Roidroid (talk) 06:22, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: Should we rename the article Chinese_character_description_languages (plural) ? Or should we stick with singular, like cat ? Yug (talk) 17:50, 7 February 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: To me the plural form makes more sense and I believe it is even required on en.WP, see Wikipedia:Naming conventions (plurals)#Exceptions ("Articles on groups or classes of specific things"; the character desciption languages presented here are highly specific and clearly distinct.). But if we decide to retain the singular we will need to rewrite the first sentence to something like "A Chinese character description language is one of several proposed languages ..."

Talk:Similitude of ship models

message: I would like to create the above mentioned new page. 
Please note that there is no copyright problem because I am the author of the information provided on the web site you mention: http://www.portrevel.com/anglais/htm/fr_01/fr_edito.htm This is our own web site and I am the director of the training centre using this technology since 40 years.
I am not trying to publish new scientific knowledge, as this technology is based on the one century-old law of Froude (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Froude).
I am not trying to advert anything as we are the inventor of the special kind of training (back in 1967) and I believe this has encyclopedical value as such. However I confess few people have published on this subject. I'll try to find some more links.
It would perhaps be better to merge the 3 articles I prepared into a single one which I was afraid to be too long:
>> Manned model (Port Revel)
>> Similitude of manned models: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%22Similitude_of_manned_models%22
>> Port Revel: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Revel
What do you suggest ?
Please excuse my possible misunderstanding as I am a newcomer on Wikipedia. I still believe that a definition and description of "manned models" would be useful as it is really missing from your encyclopedy. Best regards. Artreve. 213.244.3.18 12:29, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the following example, because it doesn't describe shows of military strength, which is what saber-rattling is about:
A current example is the increasingly-harsh rhetoric traded between the United States and Iran, as pertaining to US-allegations of the state of Iran's nuclear program, its involvement in Iraq, and its militaristic assistance to Hamas. Iran, on the other hand, contends that the US is an occupying force in Iraq that should promptly withdraw, and insists that its nuclear program is entirely peaceful and within the legal framework of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. -kotra (talk) 04:30, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Manchester Bolton & Bury Reservoir

message: Business owners were concerned for water supply to their businesses upon the building of a Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal.  Conditions were included the 1791 Act. These were that river water shouldn't be taken into the canal if it affected supply to nearby business owners. 
When Civil Engineer Hugh Henshall surveyed the canal prior to construction, he reported it could be supplied by flood and rivulet water. (p245 The Canals of NW England, Hadfield & Biddle, 1970, ISBN 071534992 9)
The decision to switch specification from narrow to broad canal during construction won't have helped. Whether that alone caused the issues, business owners raised their concerns almost immediately upon opening of the canal by 1797.
In 1802, a voluntary share of £20 was sought for a Reservoir in Radcliffe (p251 The Canals of NW England, Hadfield & Biddle, 1970, ISBN 071534992 9)
All of the above is stated also in a report of the MBB Canal Society in it's November 2017 Magazine, No. 116)
The original Reservoir at Elton was completed in 1805.
Water supply problems / concerns didn't go away. 
The 2017 article in the Canal Society Magazine references a second resevoir being under consideration by 1833.  However in 1839-1840 the existing resevoir was raised and enlarged. 
Today, 2023, we see some boundary stones by the enlarged reservoir, bearing the converted title company name of Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal Navigation and Railway Company (their conversion being in 1831).  The boundary stones bear the date 1842 
Their presence would challenge reports of the resevoir being constructed in 1845. Equally, it would seem unlikely they would be placed so long after a construction of 1805 and without further cause, such as enlargement. Cranky Walker (talk) 06:23, 6 November 2023 (UTC)

Talk:First Presbyterian Church (Hastings, Minnesota)

message: It was once claimed in the article, very specifically, that architect Warren H. Hayes was the architect of the building.  This claim was removed recently by editor Elkman.  The current references then, and now, don't seem to support the claim.  Including after correction of one url to changed url http://www.minneapolismn.gov/hpc/landmarks/hpc_landmarks_warren_howard_hayes.
The claim appeared in the article by this version from 2008, last edit by Appraiser.  In the next edit i wikilinked the architect, and then I started the architect article, including with transfer/copying of the assertion and its wording over to the new Warren H. Hayes article, in the very first edit of that article.  The Warren H. Hayes article has since been extensively developed, but the assertion remained until now.
I currently find the same assertion with same wording at http://www.spiritus-temporis.com/warren-h-hayes/works.html.  Not sure if that site is a copy of, or partly derivative of, a version of the Warren H. Hayes article from wikipedia.
I guess the claim looks wrong; I am agreeing with Elkman's removal.  I am removing it also from the NRHP infobox in this article.  I am now removing it also from the Warren H. Hayes article, with edit summary pointing to this Talk page. --doncram 01:16, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
