Talk:Urban warfare

message: Wouldn't the series of French revolutions throughout the 19th century be a good place to talk about developing tactics? Such as the infamous Barricade?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.28.188.56 (talk) 23:36, 12 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Second Battle of Fallujah

message: This is an article about Urban warfare it is not a list of cites under siege from 1846. The only sieges which should be listed are those in which urban warfare tactics developed significantly, so for example the Battle of Monterrey, Mexico describes how tunnelling could be used. But entries such as "Battle of Panama City" and "Siege of Sarajevo" in no way enhance this article which is about Urban warfare. The "Second Battle of Fallujah" would be a useful addition if the section included details of the tactics used by both sides but at the moment it does not. -- PBS (talk) 10:35, 25 February 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Died of What?

message: "The natural route to Kamchatka was along tributaries of the Lena; but after the Treaty of Nerchinsk (1689) this look politically infeasible. "
One "natural route" to Okhotsk ( not Kamchatcka ) is by following tributaries of the Lena,   and this would be totally unaffected by the Treaty of Nerchinsk.     The other way would be by following the tributaries of the Amur,   which would be affected as that Treaty put the Amur basin in the hands of the Manchus/Chinese.    The statement quoted does not make sense.  The only routes rendered politically infeasible by the Treaty of Nerchinsk,  are the natural routes to the Pacific along tributaries of the Amur River.Eregli bob (talk) 08:22, 16 April 2012 (UTC)

Talk:RFA Sir Tristram

message: Her most notable history is from when she was in active service as "RFA Sir Tristram", including her role in the Falklands War.

Talk:Skunk

message: I am wondering how much sulfur is in a skunk. A human has ~210 grams of sulfur in their body (0.3%). A skunk is bound to have much more in their scent glands, but I'm wondering if there's more sulfur present in their body percentage wise than a human. I'm also wondering if a diet low in sulfur would decrease the amount of spray produced in a skunk, or lower its potency.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by OneSmallStepForMan (talk • contribs) 11:57, 20 February 2022 (UTC)

message: Formal request has been received to merge from Alexcs114 to merge Skunks as pets into  Skunks. Please discuss the merge proposal below.
Rationale given by proposer:  After removing the main portion that read as a guide it seems to me that there is (primarily) two relevant portions of this article that fall within Wikipedia's scope: History, Temperament, legality, and perhaps portions of the politics section. All of this should be merged into the "relations with humans" section on the Skunk article.  Felix QW (talk) 08:33, 10 June 2023 (UTC)

I am curious regarding how to find previous deletion discussions. Currently I am advocating to keep an article on Abongo Obama aka Roy Obama. He may go by Malik too. Over the course of the discussion it appears he was deleted previously. I am especially interested in seeing those earlier deletion debate(s).

thread_title: Baraminology

message: Many of the items on this page are, as far as I can tell, not actually ambiguous. That is, many of these things are not called "typology" as such; a reader looking for information about, say, the Oakeshott typology of swords would probably not search for "typology" without "Oakeshott". I therefore moved many of the links to the See also section.
It might be worthwhile to create a list or a broad-concept article discussing the various kinds of typologies created in different fields. Such an article could include links to most (all?) of the pages listed here. Cnilep (talk) 23:55, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

I suggest:

* Camden Town
* Goodge Street
* Chancery Lane / Kingsway Telephone Exchange
* Stockwell
* Clapham North
* Clapham Common
* Clapham South
* not completed ones at Oval and St Pauls
World War 2 structures:
* the former tube tunnels in Borough
* Disused tube stations used as military HQs
Cold War structures:
This overlaps with surface structures - they obviously belong together.
* Southall regional control
* various borough controls eg Southwark that were underground
* Other stuff
If this is too historical or too anal please tell me ;)

message: One thing that should probably be fleshed out in this article is the origin of the term, "Total Social Fact". This source states that the term was introduced by Maurice Leenhardt and Marcel Mauss. Christopher Powell mentioned a section from Durkheim's The Rules of Sociological Method that talks about "social facts". This Google Book search gives a few more sources with which to fool around.

Talk:List of football clubs in Germany

message: Is "German Football League" a proper noun?  It was on that assumption that I left capital letters intact when I moved this article in order to alter the inappropriate capitalization of the "t".  But if this is not about teams belonging to the German Footbal League, but only about those belonging to German football leagues, then the "f" and the "l" should also be changed. Michael Hardy 00:02, 16 Sep 2003 (UTC)

message: Nadia, this list isn't intended to be annotated with comments about individual clubs. It's a simple look up list, that's all. Besides that, the remark was so imprecise it was of little use.

replies: text: As I understand it, in many countries, apostrophes are deprecated on topographic maps. See, e.g., . The reasons for this are obscure. So, many geographical features that you think should have an apostrophe actually don't.

Talk:Tunneling effect

message: The effect is poorly understood in that the conditions that give rise to it are well documented and repeatable, but the mechanism by which the effect achieves its action is not understood.  If the cause and effects were not known then it would be 'not understood', if the cause, effect, and method of action were all fully understood then it would be 'well understood'. However, the method of action is NOT known, therefor it qualifies as somewhere between not understood and well understood, so split hairs and come up with something that means 'kinda understood'.  I personally chose poorly understood, because it is understood, just not perfectly.
