Dulli (talk) 10:03, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

message: Helicopters which utilize shrouded rotors are said to have "festooned" rotors.  It is not at all uncommon for a helicopter type to feature a festooned tailrotor (Eurocopter's EC135, Sikorsky's S76, Agusta's AS365), it reportedly offers noticable reduction in the volume of the tail rotor. Festooned tail rotors are also reputedly safer, offering some protection from the blades of the tail rotor to ground workers.  This is particularly useful with search/rescue and medevac helicopters, which often utilize rear loading doors to load/unload stretchers.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.204.217.29 (talk) 08:35, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Ebenezer Bassett

message: Although the title "Ambassador" was not used in the United States diplomatic service until 1893, the post, which in modern English is described as ambassador, did.  I have used the word "ambassador" in the lead advisedly.  It is lower case for the post, not capitalized for the title.  Use of the word ambassador helps readers understand his position.  The article itself makes clear in the text that his title was US Minister to Hayti.  Note that the spelling "Haiti" is used in the lead, instead of the prevalent 1869 spelling of "Hayti". --Bejnar (talk) 18:42, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Second image 

message: Under the heading "Styles", it claims "Certainly the most luxurious of materials is marble. In the past only the finest of rare colored and white marbles were used. Today many of those fine materials are no longer available, however many other beautiful materials can be found world wide. The defining element of a great mantel is the design and workmanship."  This is largely nonsense.  There are other materials that could be described as more luxurious than marble (say, porphyry or granodiorite with fossilized shell inclusions).  Second, what evidence is there that "many of those...materials are no longer available"? Most materials that mantelpieces have been made from are still available. Finally, to claim that "the defining element of a great mantel is the design and workmanship" is just silly. It's as silly as claiming that "the defining element of a great necklace is the design and workmanship" when in fact, the defining element might well be costly materials (say, amber beads, processed as little as possible), or humble materials and rustic handicraftsmanship, but the product of artistic vision (such as the wire necklaces made by Alexander Calder). This kind of rhetoric belongs in advertising copy, not an encyclopedia. Bricology (talk) 09:42, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Young Communist League, Nepal

message: The article is currently severely biased against the Young Communist League in Nepal.  This group has a lot of young people as members and they definitely believe that they are doing something other than being simple thugs, as the article suggests.
I know that it will be difficult to cite source material which tells their side of the story because Western media has favored the now-deposed king, but there are people who believe that the Communists Party in general will control the fate of the country, so these young people are the ones who will write the history books.

Talk:Eddie Boyd

message: It is not clear what the consequences of the automobile "accident" were, apart from it's having "affected his career" (a phrase too vague to explain anything).
(I originally rewrote this as "stalled his career" but then found that the same word, "stalled," is used in the Allmusic bio, so my revision seemed to me too close to plagiarism, even if it was coincidental.)
The text does not state that Boyd was injured in the crash. If he was injured, it would be appropriate to say so, but I don't have the facts. For all I know maybe he was sued and hauled in to court, maybe he was arrested, maybe he was shot by a police officer, who knows? Any of these outcomes would have "affected his career."
Who knows? Jwicklatz (talk) 23:52, 5 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: According to this interview with St. Louis Jimmy Oden, the accident was caused by a truck driver losing control, resulting in the vehicle in which Boyd and Oden were traveling hitting a tree.  Boyd had three broken ribs, a broken foot, and cuts, and wrote a song about it.  So, it seems reasonable to add the fact that he was injured.

thread_title: The Encyclopaedia Britannica

message: This article seems to confuse the fact that the word footman is an old term for an infantryman with an etymological link.  OED does not show this  but rather they both derive from the simple co-incidence that they both refer to a man on foot, rather than on a horse.  I would therefore recommend that this article be taken out of MILHIST. Monstrelet (talk) 08:53, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Currently, the word history section explicitly states that the role has a military origin. If that section is correct then more information should be added about the connection between footmen as soldiers, running footmen and footmen as domestic staff servants. If the section is inaccurate then the inaccurate information should be corrected. As long as the article includes claims about military history, I think it should be within the scope of the military history project. I've re-added the project banner and added  and  tags to the article to draw more attention to the issue. -- Gordon Ecker (talk) 09:15, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd be interested to see if anyone can come up with such an etymology.  While the term was used first for a footsoldier, there seems to be no link, according to the OED or even the etymology link at the bottom of the article.
