Talk:Battle of Mobei

replies: text: As it now stands, the background section of this article states: "Military tension had for a long time existed between ancient China and the northern "barbarians", mainly because the fertile lands of the prosperous agricultural civilization presented attractive targets for the militaristic nomadic tribes.  Throughout ancient Chinese history, protecting the northern borders from nomadic raids had been a military priority.  During  the Zhou Dynasty, northern vassal states such as Yan, Zhao and Qin resorted to defensive strategies, constructing elongated fortresses that served as the precursors of the Great Wall of China.  During the Qin Dynasty, the first emperor Qin Shi Huang conscripted thousands of civilian labourers to perfect the Great Wall in order to reinforce military campaigns along the northern border." The dichotomy suggested here between the peaceful, civilized Chinese and the militant "barbarians" is unwarranted (not to mention lacking specific citations and also clearly not presented from a neutral point of view). The purposes for building walls also appears to draw unwarranted conclusions. Furthermore, it is not true that there are no modern or non-Chinese sources regarding these matters. Thus, my decision to add the Cite and NPOV template tags to this otherwise generally interesting article. Dcattell (talk) 22:50, 29 August 2011 (UTC)

As impressive as the walls became, they're way overblown in terms of actual defensive use (blame Mao Zedong stereotyping). To really combat incursion was through economics, culture, politics or to go on the offensive. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.126.154.193 (talk) 08:52, 18 February 2010 (UTC)

(PS: actually Andrew Jones, MHR, by Himself)
Harris bought the whole printing, or something like, and sold them from his table of remaindered imports, on the ground floor of the Da Costa Building, at some nugatory (Harris's favorite word) price, it might have been 10 cents per copy.

Talk:Friedrich L. Bauer

message: On this page it says Bauer " was the first to propose the widely used stack method of expression evaluation". On the Jan Łukasiewicz page it says "Łukasiewicz's Polish notation of 1920 was at the root of the idea of the recursive stack a last-in, first-out computer memory store invented by Charles Hamblin[1] of the New South Wales University of Technology (NSWUT), and first implemented in 1957."

The Australian Journal of Science, 20: 135-139. Reprinted in The Australian Computer Journal, 17(4): 195-198 (November 1985)." ... "proposed stacks"

Oak Lawn changes its name to Preston somewhere between Wycliff and Armstrong.  This map shows 289 continuing north to and past Loop 12.

Talk:Texas State Highway 360

message: I've just removed a statement concerning a person who coordinated right-of-way donations for the southern portion of the highway. The entire paragraph lacked attribution. It seems unlikely that anyone would donate land toward building a highway; usually the landowners are paid, even if the agency building the highway forces the sale (e.g. through eminent domain). If, however, landowners actually did donate the right-of-way, then that could be worth mentioning. In any case, we need to cite a source. -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 20:24, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, a lot of the freeways in Texas have had their right-of-way donated by land owners with the requirement that a frontage road be built along the freeway. The reason for this is that it turns low value property into high value property value pretty quickly. --Holderca1 talk 15:16, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

message: * I added a table showing the route and junctions of FM 1093 and Westheimer Rd.

I also wanted to show that Fort Bend's section of the Westpark Tollway runs concurrently with FM 1093 in one section.

Talk:Paul Bigsby

message: I have rolled back this edit by an anon with no other contributions. The desire to promote renaming the tremolo arm as a vibrato arm seems to be behind most of this edit. This is an ongoing controversy.
The issue of what a tremolo arm should be called is not one Wikipedia can settle. Rather, we describe what it is called. This is discussed at Talk:Tremolo arm#Tremolo or vibrato?, and the controversy is described at Tremolo arm#Naming controversy and Vibrato unit#Vibrato or tremolo?.
No reason was given for the removal of the 1948 date for the tremolo arm design completion, so this has been restored. Admittedly a source would be good, but my feeling is that citation needed tags don't improve articles. There's an external link that supports the slightly later 1952 date for units in use, and the two dates are entirely consistent.
Finally, some other comments were removed:
Today, the "Bigsby" has been modified and improved in concept many times, but the original is still effective for the purpose for which it was designed. Like all of Paul Bigsby's creations, is virtually indestructible, and still dresses up a fine guitar like nothing else quite can.
This is POV, and doesn't seem to contain any extra information. In a sense all trems are descended from the Bigsby, if that's what this means. As for indestructible, even Crocker Motorcycles doesn't claim that. (;-> Andrewa 00:05, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
