thread_title:  You have to write iran beside middle east 

message: The upper photo has misleading text, and should instead read A modern wheel made of a solid piece of wood. The motive is a modern log wagon from [File:Log Wagon Harrietville Vic.jpg – Wikimedia Commons Harrietville, Victoria]].  
The paragraph:
Early wheels were simple wooden disks with a hole for the axle. Some of the earliest wheels were made from horizontal slices of tree trunks. Because of the uneven structure of wood, a wheel made from a horizontal slice of a tree trunk will tend to be inferior to one made from rounded pieces of longitudinal boards.
Awaiting a full rewriting of the historical part, should be shortened to:
Early wheels were simple wooden disks with a hole for the axle made from rounded pieces of longitudinal boards.

OK, you have published incorrect material about my father. Do some research. He did not organize tailhook. The NY Times did not do there research. I would like you to find the factual information which you have posted and show me. The other part is this. My father started with the naval reserves in 1967, he started with American Airlines in 1967. He retired from the navy in 1995, he retired from AA in 1998. At least make correction for readability and correct tense and time frames.
:Noting the fact that NY Times screwed up their homework sounds like a great thing to add to this article. Including NY Times' screw-up on such a sensitive matter is obviously encyclopedic info. Did they publish a retraction? --mav

Talk:Waiting for Godot

message: Waiting for Godot is the archetypical example of nonsense displacing sense in the 20th century. It forms a neat triangle, with nonsense painting (Picasso) and nonsense books (Finnegan's Wake) at the other corners. In the manner of a prosecuting attorney, I put it to the artistic community that the above items are no better than those random patterns within which the human mind often finds (due to ancient evolutionary pressures) some sort of illusory image or meaning. Having done so, there is then a battle, between differing interpretations, in which the only rule is never to suggest that everyone has been 'taken for a ride'. The item may then 'go viral' in the modern parlance and, particularly in the case of paintings, soon acquires a sky-rocketing monetary value which forever cements it firmly in place. I  note that this cultural racket has already been neatly outed by H.C.Andersen (Emperor's New Clothes) and S.L.Clemens (The Royal Nonesuch), but is it not about time for a more robust attack to be made on this blatant artistic scam? A successful assault might even go viral. 78.145.10.148 (talk) 15:38, 26 May 2024 (UTC)

thread_title:  Sagas? 

message: The legends recounted here have next to nothing in common with the original 16th century books. According to Stella (writing before Grunau), Widewuto had nothing to do with the Cimbri, nor did Widewuto and Bruteno name the Old Prussians. Stella writes that the Old Prussians originally lived in the Ural Mountains when they were already called prutheni, but during the reign of Valentinian I (4th century CE) were expelled from there by the Alans. Eventually, the prutheni re-settled in later Prussia/Kaliningrad, accepting the Alanic soldier Widewuto as their king.
According to Reinhold Trautmann (Die altpreußischen Sprachdenkmäler, 1910), Grunau next used Stella's fiction to base his own fiction novel purely of his own invention on Stella, according to which the Goths were originally an ancient Italian tribe that were expelled from the Italian peninsula by Byzantine general Narses during the early 6th century CE. Going north, the Goths then supposedly founded the German city of Göttingen before attacking Denmark. In order to pacify them, the Danish king gave them the island of Cimbria (modern-day Gotland), ever since which (roughly seven centuries after the historically-attested authentic cimbri who had attacked Rome around 110 BCE) these Italo-Goths were supposedly called cimbri. Furthermore according to Grunau, Widewuto was an Italo-Gothic king of Gotland who conquered and subjected the Old Prussians by means of a military campaign, giving them laws and religion, and they accepted him as their king in 521 CE. Grunau also invented another 16th century source called Pseudo-Christian, according to which the prutheni were named after Widewuto's brother Bruteno who became their first high priest. --2003:DA:CF08:E00:352E:684:3B03:54E3 (talk) 17:37, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

message: In the Description/Pelage section it says "Wolves in northern climates can rest comfortably in open areas at −40 °C (−40 °F) by placing their muzzles between the rear legs and covering their faces with their tail."
Now -40°C and -40°F are definitely not the same. In the source it is written "...wolves can turn their backs to the wind and sleep comfortably in the open at forty degrees below zero." without specifying if it is Fahrenheit of Celsius. But elsewhere in the book, he writes: "In the Northwest Territories it may reach seventy degrees below zero or climb to ninety degrees on a summer day", which is clearly Fahrenheit.

message: Parts of the addition of maps etc. from IP81.67 are problematic and will require a consensus in the talkpage before introducing to the article. I have tried to keep what I find uncontroversial and will comment here on the different parts.
*The map in green at the top does not present any inclusion criteria. The countries coloured dark green are presented as "Western Europe", as if there was an universally accepted definition, which obviously is not the case. The countries coloured light green are said to "correspond to the West", which is pure nonsense. It resembles the cold war division, if not completely. This map is inappropriate in the article altogether because of the lack of sourcing/inclusion criteria, and it is an especially bad choice for the top of the article. In fact, no map purporting to "define" WE can be used there.
*The textual presentation of the UN geoscheme is not only inaccurate, but bordering on dishonesty. The geoscheme does not purport to be a "partition of Europe by united nations, according to peoples, climate, and cultures". On the contrary, the web site of the UN Statistical Division states explicitly  The inclusion of the geoscheme in the article has been discussed before, without any clear consensus having been reached. I could support presenting it, but it would have to be based on a talk page consensus (and it would of course have to be a truthful text). Having two maps is absolute overkill.
*Also the EuroVoc map has been discussed before, and can only be introduced after a talk page discussion. It would also have to be supported by a text explaining the source of this classification.
*I see no problem with adding the climate map to the section "Climate". I am more concerned that the section itself may be inappropriate. Is there really anything useful to say about the climate in such a loosely defined region?
I will remove the introductary map and the UN and EuroVoc sections. The best thing would probably be to raise the question of adding the two sections as a WP:RfC. --T*U (talk) 02:17, 9 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Warhead

message: I removed an intial spam line from the top of the page -anon
What about the following proximity detonators: sonar/acoustic, altimeter-based and magnetic? They used to be used. Are they still? --rmhermen
----
Sonar / acoustic and perhaps magnetic are still probably used, and should be mentioned regardless.  Magnetic was most often used on ship mines, though.
Altimeter-based fusing is primarily used with bombs, which I tend to distinguish from warheads.  Most nuclear warheads are air-burst, so it may be that some of them used altimeter-based fusing.  I think they're all radar based now, but I can't confirm that.
In my mind at least, a bomb isn't the same as a warhead, though they both explode.  I consider a warhead to always be a part of a weapon, with it's own delivery system. -- ansible
----
Actually I was thinking of torpedoes. How would they fit? - they are self-propelled.  --rmhermen
----
I'm not quite sure what you mean there.
At any rate, all these things are self-propelled delivery vehicles:
*rockets
*missles (tactical, cruise, ballistic)
*torpedos
Therefore, the explosive part of these devices is called a warhead.
These things don't have warheads:
*mines (land, sea)
*bombs
*demolition charges, depth charges, etc.
They do indeed explode, but they don't go to the target by their own power.
--ansible
:Who are you to make this arbitrary decision?  I've heard of ballistic tank rounds and bombs with "warheads."  Is this your own POV definition of warhead or standard terminology?  I've never heard of it in my years as a Jane's reader, tanknet member and rec.aviation.military flamer.
::As it´s writed on the article, a warhead does not need to propell by itself. Like the kinetic type warheads, wich redirects to projectiles. This is ambiguous and needs to be clarified, because the first section says that it needs to have an explosive material, and kinetic or conventional projectiles generally does not have explosives and are not self-ppropelled. Also, the gravity bombs are explosive, but not have a propulsion system. --Damërung (talk) 16:56, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
