message: There was a fur trade, at least prior to WWII, in Scandinavia and Poland. I know because members of my family were part of it. One of my uncles bought furs for an England-based company in Norway in the late 1930s, for example. I don't know much about it or how extensive it was, but it should perhaps be mentioned here.Bill (talk) 00:13, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Bill, if you can find a couple good sources and list them here, I'm happy to make the edit(s). Please ping me if you do. Netherzone (talk) 01:42, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. Unfortunately, I don't know much about it. I just know things like what my uncle told me did between finishing school and the outbreak of WWII. Google has thus far not turned up much. I tried looking at the fur trade articles in Wikipedia in Norwegian, Polish, German and so forth. The Polish article briefly mentions the fur trade there and cites a book in Polish about the fur trade in Poland in the 16th-18th centuries: Irena Turnau: Skórnictwo odzieżowe w Polsce XVI-XVIII wieku. Wrocław: Zakład Narodowy im. Ossolińskich, 1975. Nothing about the more recent period.Bill (talk) 02:13, 21 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmmm, have you considered posting something on WikiProject Poland? All the offline sources I have are on the North American fur trade.

:I've added a section "Criticism" with the Click lag problem, looks cleaner. 200.115.156.250 07:53, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't agree with definition of Click lag ("the slowest peer on the network is the overall speed of every player"), because delay between command and its reaction depends on player's ping to host and on pre-delay settings. It means that real latency is (players ping to host)+(pre-delay setting). Pre-delay of Blizzard games is set to 250ms for Battle.net games, and only 100ms for LAN games, that's why other platforms using emulated LAN experience less delay. Actually, PvPGN is not using p2p, but server based network - one player who creates game is host, and every commands are coming through him, every other players client is communicating only with host.--Turbo2200kBps (talk) 18:54, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Alphonse Verville

message: The Canadian Encyclopedia says Verville died in 1930 while the Parliament of Canada website states he died in 1921. 1921 seems to make more sense since it explains his sudden departure from Parliament several months before the 1921 election but if someone can verify this (perhaps by checking Hansard from 1921 for any tributes to a deceased Verville) that would be helpful.

Talk:Timeline of Norse colonization of the Americas

message: 11-21-05
Added the tags 'historical, ahistorical and mythological' to the timeline as a thumbnail reference to mainstram archaeology and unproven hypothesis. Please do not turn the timeline istself into a discussion about the nature and validity of 'accepted archaeology'. If you have to justify it, odds are you've already lost the battle. 
This is not to disparage emerging ideas (or ideas currently without sufficient evidence). This is simply to show the current breadth of knowledge of mainstream archaeology. As an encyclopedia it is as essential to illustrate this distinction as it is to be fully rounded in various schools of thought. 
Lastly, I'm not entirely comfortable with the distinction between mythological and ahistorical, as it overlaps far too frequently. I would enjoy a discussion and further refinement of these terms.

:Some entries are tagged as both 'historical' and 'ahistorical'.  I understand that A and M overlap, but A and H? Turly-burly 08:18, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: early dates on archaeological findings are an excellent example.  As archaeologists discover sites, carbon and radioactive dating systems (among others) provide confirming evidence for some types of materials.  Generally, although all dating systems have inherent flaws, findings using these systems are designated as "evidence" (historical).  Other materials, such as lithic tools not associated with carbon bearing hearths or datable animal remains, are much more difficult to date.  Speculation and best guess ("ahistorical") comes into play here until (hopefully) the initial findings are confirmed in other sites which can be more firmly dated.  Clovis culture was considered the oldest known American people for most of the 20th century -- but several new sites, dating methods and theories are starting to push this date backwards.  There is some datable proof (historical)for these claims, but most is educated speculation or isolated finds awaiting confirmation (ahistorical).  So I belive both designations would be appropriate here.   WBardwin 19:30, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Talk:List of armed conflicts involving Poland against Russia

message: Truce of Deulino was favorable for Commonwealth   .
One of the main objectives of Sigismund III was breaking Swedish-Russian alliance which was signed in Viborg in February 1609, and that was the main reason for the intervention of Sigismund in Russia. After the battle of Klushino, boyars together with Żółkiewski signed a treaty, Władysław was elected as Tsar, and Poles had to break the siege of Smolensk, Sigismund however continued a siege. This means that one of his objectives was also a desire to conquer new lands for their country.Kcdlp (talk) 13:17, 10 March 2017 (UTC)

Copyright law is one thing, but there are also laws which prohibit companies from using someone's name or likeness in a manner that implies they are endorsing a particular product or belief.

replies: text: I think there is no 'Danaya' in Greek myth. The only close personages are King Danaüs and the Goddess Diana. The former has nothing to do with the concept of Earth, just a king with numerous daughters who ordered them to kill their husbands on their wedding night in order for him and them to reign supreme in their kingdom. Only one of his daughters did not obey him, Hypermnestra who spared her husband and became the ancestors of heroes such as Perseus and Hercules. However, the closest to Danaya's character is the Roman Goddess Diana, the deity of the forest and wood, to whom the hind and the cypress were sacred. She was also identified as the Greek Goddess Artemis, an ardent huntress, patron of women and the goddess of the moon. In art, she was pictured as carrier of the bow and arrow and usually pictured accompanied by a deer or a hound (Grolier Academic Encyclopedia).  --61.9.36.156 08:59, 10 December 2005 (UTC)
