Talk:Two six heave

message: The story regarding the British Royal Navy as the point of origin for "Two, six, heave" is not supported by evidence, and current scholarship is casting doubt on the veracity of the story as phrase origin. The earliest reference in print to "Two, six, heave" as yet known in maritime history and folklore scholarship is 1961. There is some anecdotal mention of it as early as the 1940s, but no earlier - and that is indeed unusual in the closely studied and avidly collected field of maritime folklore, the subject of fieldwork scouring since at least the 1880s. Some problems with the tale: The British Navy's six-man gun positions did not give the gun crews numbers, but named them "1st" and "2nd" after the jobs they were to do: 1st loader, 2nd loader, etc. See --  This origin may be an apocryphal story. Its history is obscured by the fact that since it appeared, the story has been avidly replicated in sail training books, on web sites, on working boats,and even in museums. But there is no evidence that it's at all 'traditional.' A citation contemporaneous with the supposed Royal Navy usage would be needed to support this story as the derivation of "two,six."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.63.122.237  (talk • contribs) 
:While the statement you make may be correct I think it warrants substantially more than that to put the "disputed" tag in the article.  Your statement itself requires citations in order to make it a substantial dispute.

Talk:Viromandui

message: Very Cool.  Due to clerical errors, I had to review a boatload of these, and this is one of the better ones.  Double kudos on the picture, I think it's really great.  Just a few things I might tinker with:
1) The first line has a tiny typo, I would have corrected it myself, but there didn't seem to be a little edit button right there.  It just needs a capitol letter, I believe right after the word 'Gaul'.
2) I love the hyperlinks throughout, those are a big help (and something my article definitely needs).  I might add one line or so of explanation to (for example) Caesars 'De Bello Gallico'.  The link helps, and sitting in Roman History, we know that J.C. was a general who fought Gauls, but if you were completely ignorant to subject, it might help to have a line like, "a chronicle of Julius Caesar's early campaigns against the Gauls" or some-such.
3) Neat use of quotes in the culture section.  There are a lot of them, but I think it works well enough.  I think it's there that you say the tribe led a 'Spartan' existence.  All I know about Spartans I learned in the movie 300.  So if that's an accurate picture, great, it paints a vivid picture.
Overall, pretty sweet article, it won't make more than a tiny amount of polish to make it shine for Friday.  Congrats.  --Matt Vickery
Overall, this is a good article. It is pretty lengthy but contains insightful information. There are just a couple of changes I would make. First of all when you first introduce Viromandui and then you talk about it under Territory and cities, it seems as if there is a bit of repition. I know its history so it's hard to say it any other way, but maybe if you could change around the words a little just to make it seem like we're not reading the same thing over again right away. Also, under Battle of Sabis I think you have a slight grammatical error or may have just missed a couple words when you say "Alongside the Nervii and the Atrebates they fought against Julius Caesarin The Battle of Sabis around 57 BC, named for the river that split the battlefield." I think you may have meant to add the word "in" between Cesarin and The. Also, under Culture, although I like your use of quotes I think you should maybe explain them or analyze them yourself a bit more. It was hard to read and get through, and then I wasn't even quite sure I understood what I had just read..so maybe just some clarification would help? Other than that I really like this article, great work!

Talk:Alberta Highway 2A

message: I was thinking of cleaning up the Alberta Highway 2A article, such as replacing the multiple large infoboxes with small infoxboxes and inserting 1 large infoxbox at the top.  I was thinking about the segments of Hwy 2A that exist between Calgary and Edmonton; currently it's divided into Crossfield – Bowden and Innisfail – Leduc as there is an  gap between Bowden and Innisfail.  Unlike Hwy 2/2A overlaps located south of Calgary and north of Lacombe, this is unsigned.  Would you consider this as two separate segments (which would be continued to be listed as such), or considering that they are located closed together, an unsigned concurrency along Hwy 2?  If it is the latter, could the Crossfield-Bowden and Innisfail-Leduc sections be merged into one and called Calgary-Edmonton Corridor (running between Crossfield and Leduc)?

replies: text: Just driving Highway 2 from Airdrie to Edmonton. The highway between the two 2A interchanges north of Lacombe to south of Morningside is signed as both Highway 2 and Highway 2A. It is a concurrency. That is not the case however from Bowden to Innisfail. It is signed as only Highway 2. Further, Highway 2A ends at its intersection with Highway 587 in Bowden while Highway 2A in Innisfail begins at 50 Street (former Highway 54 alignment/Highway 590). In both cases, both segments of 2A end/begin west of and beyond the Hwy 2 interchanges. Also, Highway 2's current alignment skirting the east edge of Bowden is its original alignment. The original alignment, before it was twinned, did not deviate onto what is now Highway 2A until two miles south of the Highway 587 interchange. There is no concurrency of 2 and 2A between Bowden and Innisfail. Hwy43 (talk) 18:22, 21 August 2016 (UTC)

J.S. Adams, "Inequity in Social Exchanges", in L. Berokwitz (ed.), "Advances in Experimental Social Psychology," New York, Academic Press, 1965, pp 267-300
I think this page needs many citations to improve its credibility. Most statements don’t have citations. The definition of equity is not clear and completed, which needs to be edited. The structure of this page is a little bit messy. I suggest the page should explain the definition first, and then it could talk about the background. In the propositions section, the contents are confusing and repeated, which need further editing. In the related theory section, I think it needs more explanations because this section doesn’t illustrate how these theories connect. Yukillovesu (talk) 01:59, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
