Since when was Roman a language? Isn't it Latin? 99.227.248.12 (talk) 10:24, 21 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Roman language? 

message: "During the interregnum in 1733, the Familia supported Stanisław I Leszczyński for King. Polish Kings in the period were elected by ballot, by the nobility (Elective Monarchy). The Familia decided to support the Saxon Frederick Augustus II as candidate (elected King Augustus III - reign. 1734–1763 in Poland)"
Why did this change of opinion about the candidate happen ? It would be necessary to give explainations. But I have the impression that there is a mistake :
Referring to the Polish page, it seems that the Familia supported Stanislaw Leszczynski (also supported by France), but when he was defeated (Dantzig, 1734), decided to accept the election of Augustus III (supported by Russia and Austria) instead of staying in the opposition (hence a move towards Russia).

replies: text: my understanding of a commode was of a chamber pot in some sort of housing like a cabinet with legs (a portable toilet), often used when someone was infirm or unable to get out to the toilet, particularly at night.  My grandmother (in Ireland) had a commode and it was always referred to by that name. It certainly isn't slang here, the word was in general usage at least until the 1980s for any type of portable toilet Coolavokig (talk) 21:59, 10 January 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  John Thain news reference 

message: In the Dutch variant of Standard Dutch, the term "commode" is used for commodes and changing tables.This was removed from the article. While this is the English language Wikipedia, I think this information may be relevant nonetheless. I'll try to explain why. The word commode is a calque, that in both English and Dutch is derived from the French word for "convenient" or "suitable". In Dutch, the word commode is not a word that just happens to be spelled the same, nor has it a different meaning. In Dutch, the word commode is used to refer to commodes. Just like the word computer is used to refer to computers. However, since the Dutch language doesn't really have an equivalent for changing table (nobody uses "babyaankleedmeubel"), the word commode is used. Most likely because these two furniture look alike. --82.170.113.123 (talk) 10:15, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

message: There is something of a constructed nature to the commonly accepted images. In the case of Norton and Brant, while in England wealthy individuals contracted respected artists to produce portraits of these individuals. Among other things, there seems to be throw-back aspect referring back to famous/popular portraits of the 'Four Kings' from a previous generation. Both Norton and Brant alluded to having to 'assemble' an outfit for the occasion. Even back in the day the concept of 'the dead indian', as Joseph Boyden terms it, was popular. Does anyone have an opinion as to which portraits (if any) are original/from life?

Talk:Fokker Eindecker fighters

message: The Service Ceiling of the Fokker E.III was given as 11,500 meters (37,700 feet plus).  This figure seemed very wrong indeed since such altitudes weren't commonplace until the 1950s.  A 1914 aircraft without oxygen for the pilot and with a 99 hp engine couldn't get anywhere near that.  However, the article specifically on the E.III (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fokker_E.III) gives is service ceiling as a much more reasonable 12,000 feet (3,500 meters) approx.  It appears as if in the Eindecker article, the service ceiling in feet was entered into the meters line by mistake so its been corrected.  Unfortunately, this erroneous figure has now been copied all over the web.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.232.97.226 (talk) 13:09, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
