Talk:Cold weapon

message: Are directed Energy Weapons cold weapons?
Some,i think,Lasers/Masers no, Railguns/Gauss Cannons yes,they dont make an explosion.

thread_title:  Norwegian Orphan 

message: "White arm" forwards to this page, and there is no discussion of "white arm," but I believe there is a distinction.  The Portuguese page for the equivalent of white arm says that it is a tool or other object useful as a weapon for which the normal use is not aggressive, for example an axe or hammer is normally used for work, however the user could find these items quite useful for causing injury or death to another person.  the distinction lies in that a "cold weapon" is not a fire-arm.  That is it does not driven by thermal explosion. Gzopnik (talk) 18:56, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Antipope Benedict X

message: Presumably it came after there had already been a Pope Benedict XI.  So, we are left with no legitimate Benedict X because it is impossible to ignore this antipope when it comes to numbering. The number used by each subsequent Pope Benedict is advanced by one (and this includes the present officeholder, Benedict XVI).
:According to one of the sources given, it was only in the 14th century that his legitimacy was questioned. The next pope to take the name (in 1303) did use the number XI, instead of X. Presumably the issue arose after his papacy. One noted cardinal of the 18th century defended Benedict's legitimacy. Daniel the Monk (talk) 07:16, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  So when did the official ruling come in about this man being antipope? 

message: The Lead reports: "He reportedly later was given the nickname of Mincius (thin) due to his ignorance."  And yet, he was made a cardinal, and was recommended as one of five cardinals who might best be chosen pope.  These two ideas do not agree with one another. I suspect that the sentence quoted is nothing but mud which was slung at Benedict during the controversies over his status; it looks like a false etymology. It really doesn't belong here.

Talk:Fred Barrett (ice hockey)

message: Fred Barrett (ice hockey) contains two errors. I'm his son.
Error 1: "Barrett is the namesake of the Fred Barrett Arena in his hometown of Ottawa."
There's a mixup between the Fred G Barrett (Mayor) and Fred W Barrett (Ice Hockey Player). The Fred G Barrett Arena is named after Fred W Barrett's father Fred G Barrett who was a mayor in Gloucester, Ontario (he's listed on this wiki page) that was later amalgamated into Ottawa. Photos and text of the plaque in the arena is available here. Google Street View can be used to see the sign for the arena that includes the G middle initial.
Error 2: "He is the brother-in-law of Quebec politician and author Rodrigue Tremblay."
The family connection is much less direct and likely not worth noting in the article. Rodrigue is Fred's wife's sister's daughter's husband's father. Andrewbarrettca (talk) 20:44, 5 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks! The text looks good but I'd recommend removing the reference to the book that has the incorrect information about the arena name and possibly replacing it with the page with information about the plaque. I wish there was a more authoritative reference that explains the arena name. Am I right that I shouldn't be making edits to this page as a family member for the person? Andrewbarrettca (talk) 13:38, 6 September 2023 (UTC)

Talk:French Guianese Creole

message: This name issue needs to be sorted out.
Currently there is a large variety of names including: French Guianese Creole in Jennings (2009), Fisher (2015), Migge & Léglise (2010) and Collomb & Renault-Lescure (2014); Guyanais in Holm (1988: 380), Winford (2005: 325) and Pfänder (2013); Guianese Creole in McWhorter (2000), Collomb & Renault-Lescure (2014) (which also uses French Guianese Creole), and Valdman (2015); Guianese French Creole in Haspelmath & Dryer (2015), Siegel (2014) and Renault-Lescure (2009); Guyanese French Creole in Déprez (2007), Syea (2017) and Fauquenoy (1974); and Cayenne Creole in Jennings (1998) and Degraff (2009). Some scholars even have their own names for them, such as French Guiana Creole (Goodman 1964), and French Guyanais (McWhorter 1995; 2000; 2018: 125). 
But no one uses Guianan Creole for this language; really, very few people use "French Guianan" at all (it gets a fraction of the hits that "French Guianese" gets on Google). It makes Wikipedia look out of touch to use it. French Guianese Creole is the most used name in modern sources, with Guianese French Creole a close second. Let's just pick one.UWIdico (talk) 19:02, 21 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: The article was moved from French Guianese Creole to another title in 2016 by User:LeGuyanaisPure, and in 2017 to the current title by the same user with the comment "Change This to the official name of This creole !". Except in rare cases, Wikipedia uses the most common name in English. I'll move it back to French Guianese Creole shortly. - BilCat (talk) 20:26, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

text: - BilCat (talk) 20:29, 21 February 2019 (UTC)

text: The point is not to use the most commonly used name on Wikipedia, but to use the name most commonly used by reliable sources in English outside Wikipedia. If you believe that the official name is more widely used by such sources than the current title of this article then you need to back up that claim with links to reliable sources, such as books from well-established publishers and peer-reviewed academic papers, and searches for such sources. The raw numbers produced by Google Books and Scholar searches for "French Guianese Creole"  seem to far exceed those for "Guianan Creole"  , so I think you will have a hard time persuading people that the latter is more commonly used.

From the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography: "It is possible, though perhaps unlikely, that he joined Richard on crusade; and he besieged Richard's enemies at Nottingham in March 1194. He was a war captain in Normandy in July 1194, and served there again in 1197"

I am familiar with the Houston Automated Spooling Program, commonly known as HASP in the computing industry, which was developed in the 1960's.  There is a "see also" reference to this stub at the top of this article.  That stub is definitely not marketing.  IBM's HASP is no longer in use, but is presented for historical value.
