Talk:Erebuni Fortress

message: Hypothetical Er people are introduced linking it to Erebuni. Then based on linguistic analysis of unknown Er language, a conclusion is made that Erebuni fortress was a capital of Georgian Er people. Hayordi (talk) 19:41, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I support the removal of any references to the Ers. There is no actual historical record that they ever existed. They are a hypothetical people championed by Amjad Jaimoukha, who was neither a linguist nor an anthropologist. According to Hrachia Acharian (an actual highly respected linguist) -buni is of Indo-European etymology (from Proto-Indo European "bʰuH-"). I'm not even sure why this Era etymology is worth mentioning in this article--it's a fringe theory that nobody accept for Chechen nationalists seem to accept.Preservedmoose (talk) 03:33, 21 April 2019 (UTC)

Talk:Victor Mollo

thread_title:  Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery 

message: Did Mollo and his publishers use subtitles "the shortest cut to expert play" and "the short cut to expert play" successively, for distinct content? I doubt it. Rather I infer How Good is Your Bridge? (1969) is the US ed. of [Victor Mollo's] Winning Double (1968). These two are both in the Library of Congress Catalog/ue, or LCCat, which gives identical 149-page count and gives 1968 copyright date for the former.
* 1969 US  --subject heading LCSH "bridge whist" is inept
* 1968 UK 
By the way, those LCCN show these two records were created in 1968 and 1976. LC acquired Victor Mollo's Winning Double, or found some other reason to catalogue it, only eight years later.
By that time another ed. had been catalogued --"New and enlarged", so we should mention it.

Talk:Buttero

message: Butteri entered legend when they defeated Buffalo Bill's cowboys in a rodeo! the article should mention that!
The mention is not accurate as the legend is the other way round: the butteri didn't win anything. The rodeo was stopped by Cody who decided that the time had run out. Only one buttero managed to saddle and mount on a bucking horse. This seems to have allegedly taken more than the 10 minutes that were allowed for the competition.  Check article on "Il Messaggero" of the 9th of March 1890.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.175.159.146 (talk) 23:35, 21 October 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese destroyer Teruzuki (1941)

message: You made a lot of changes to the article in two edits. I didn't always agree with those in your first edit, but they were largely inconsequential. Your second edit introduced some WP:Manual of Style errors and grammatical faults. I reverted you in the expectation that you would then go to the talk page to discuss our disagreements as per WP:BRD. Instead you reverted my reversion, something that I did not expect an experienced editor like yourself to so. So I'll do it for you:
*MOS:DATERANGE states that overnight periods can be written with a slash like I did or an endash. You changed it to a hyphen
*I wrote  and you changed it to  which is just bad grammar, IMO
*You changed task to job; far too informal for an encyclopedia article
*You decapitalized Rear Admirals, ignoring the fact that their names immediately followed and violating MOS:JOBTITLE
*You changed my  to , a nominalization and something I was taught to avoid in my academic writing class
*You changed survivors to sailors, something that I think weakens the statement
I write every article with the expectation that someday I'll take them to WP:FAC so the MOS issues are likely more important to me than to you. Your other changes were either improvements or stylistic differences which don't bother me.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 09:22, 15 May 2023 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese destroyer Amatsukaze (1939)

message: In the spring of 1942, during the Dutch East Indies campaign, Amatsukaze attacked the already damaged submarine USS Perch on the surface with gunfire, and observed hits.  Perch submerged and escapted, but the next night was caught on the surface while attempting repairs by two different Japanese destroyers, and was scuttled.
During the Carrier battle of the Eastern Solomons the captain of Amatsukaze sent one of the most unusual messages ever sent by a Japanese vessel during the war, when he sent a signal to the carrier Ryujo asking them why there was no combat air patrol.  Ryujo then readied zero fighters, but was attacked and sunk by aircraft before they could take off.
Amatsukaze and another destroyer raided the atoll of Ndeni, far south of Guadalcanal and used by PBY flying boats, two weeks prior to the carrier battle of Santa Cruz, but the atoll did not have any planes there during the surface raid.
At the Naval Battle of Guadalcanal in November 1942, Amatsukaze first sank the destroyer USS Barton with torpedoes, then turned north and a short time later hit the light cruiser USS Juneau with one torpedo, crippling the ship.  Juneau was sunk the next day by Japanese submarine I-26.  Amatsukaze also hit the heavy cruiser USS San Francisco with gunfire during the battle.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Azeh (talk • contribs) 01:18, 25 February 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese destroyer Arashi

message: The Midway statement about who hit what ships is INCORRECT, flat out. It is easy to show that Kaga and Akagi were NOT hit by a/c from the same carrier.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.201.140.130 (talk) 14:25, 11 July 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: The Kaga was hit by SBDs from VB-6 and VS-6, under the command of Wade McClusky.  They were flying off the Enterprise.  Both groups attacked the Kaga.  McClusky inadvertently assigned group targets opposite what was their standard doctrine.  McClusky was a fighter pilot before taking over the airgroup and was not as well versed in dive bomber doctrine. The doctine was that the group first to target (VS-6) was supposed to attack the far target (Akagi) while the near target (Kaga) was supposed to be hit by the second group over target (VB-6).  Over the radio McClusky ordered VS-6 to attack Kaga, and the result was that both groups dove on the Kaga.  Just as he was going in to his dive, VB-6 commander Dick Best noticed they were not going in according to doctrine, and he shallowed out his dive and headed over Akagi, followed by the two aircraft in his section.  These three then were the only SBDs that attacked the Akagi, with Dick Best planting the fatal bomb strike.  The dive bombers from Yorktown (VB-3) attacked the Soryu.  Those from the Hornet (VB-8) missed the Japanese fleet entirely by flying too far to the north of their position (see Parshall and Tully's Shattered Sword, p. 228).Gunbirddriver (talk) 22:10, 17 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Per McClusky's wiki in regards the doctrine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C._Wade_McClusky): "The confused attack order was later explained as a radio error due to multiple people speaking at the same time. McClusky, having been a fighter pilot prior to becoming Air Group Commander and was very familiar with dive bombing doctrine, as was Best. McClusky's decision to lead his squadron in attacking the closer Kaga was in keeping with doctrine that stated it was the commander on the scene that could make the decision as to what target to bomb." 72.2.239.18 (talk) 14:03, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
thread_title: Midway air attacks

message: The fact that Osmus was killed was evident after the war from reading Adm Chuichi Nagumo's report on the battle. US Navy investigative teams then tracked down surviving crew members from the Arashi in preparation for a war crimes prosecution.  It was then learned about Osmus being made to tell of the strength of the US force, and of his being struck with a fire axe and thrown over board.  As the captain of the Arashi had died in the war, no hearing was held. Gunbirddriver (talk) 22:07, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Japanese destroyer Hamakaze (1940)

message: While "Beach Wind" may be a literal translation of Hamakaze, perhaps "Sea Breeze" which is more commonly used to describe such air movements in English would be a better more fitting translation being more poetic to suit the Japanese character. I was on pixiv.net (site for artists to share works) and saw an image of a "ship girl" (Japanese anime creation) of the Japanese destroyer Hamakaze named in this Wikipedia article. It has the translation as "sea breeze" instead of "beach wind," which frankly makes more sense to me. Who HASN'T heard of a sea breeze? Who has EVER heard of a "Beach Wind?" Just saying. I hope someone more skilled than I am in subtleties of translation can look at this. I am The Bicycling Guitarist and I approve this message. 38.21.61.119 (talk) 03:22, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Hey it's me, TBG, again. I regret my last message, sort of. It might be best to ignore it. Shiokaze is another Imperial Japanese Navy destroyer. Its name means "Sea Breeze" when I use Google translate, but Wikipedia lists its name translated as "Tide Wind." The single English word "Tide" translates to Japanese "Shio" using Google translate, which backs the Wikipedia translation. I do not speak Japanese. I only know some Japanese ships from studying history. I thought I'd help Wikipedia, but fear I have only muddied things. 38.21.61.119 (talk) 10:39, 28 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: The birthdate 30 November 1956 is rather mysterious. As far as I've seen, the only other original, online source stating this is Stephen Dillane's IMDb page, and indeed snapshots of IMDb from the Internet Archive show that the birthdate was changed from "1957" to "30 November 1956" back in 2006. You can see that change reflected in this article as of 19:53, 27 December 2006. I don't know what IMDb's fact-checking process was back then or to what degree people and their reps contribute to their own pages.
I do know that more authoritative, published sources (some of which are included in this very article) have put Dillane's birthdate in the year 1957. The very reputable Theatre World has a biographical listing for Stephen Dillane stating he was born 27 March 1957 in London, England. Records from genealogy websites indicate the same (though I know they aren't appropriate citations).
The relevant listing in Theatre World can be seen here (p. 227) via Google Books preview. This is from volume 57 (more info), covering the 2000-2001 Broadway season. I'm hoping to get some feedback here—e.g. whether anyone can corroborate the 1956 birthdate—before I make any changes to the article. --Dubbledore (talk) 09:27, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
