Talk:Hebrew (disambiguation)

message: One entry on the page formerly read:
:The term Hebrew is sometimes used by certain Christian groups to distinguish the Jews in ancient times (before the birth of Jesus) from Jews that lived afterward. Though important in some Christian theologies, the distinction is not recognized by the Jews themselves who call themselves Hebrew in Hebrew. Thus, to tell some Jews they are not the same as the Hebrews is likely to be offensive. See British Israelism, Khazars, Karaims etc.
Jews largely do observe the distinction between Hebrew and Jew in Hebrew—עברי (ivri, "Hebrew") is rarely used to refer to modern-day Jews, in my experience; the term יהודי (y'hudi, "Jew") is much more common.  This is not always true, but very few Jews will be "offended" by someone trying to distinguish between ancient Hebrews and their descendants.  Also, the references at the end seem out-of-place, so I've removed the last three sentences. —Simetrical (talk) 21:42, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Alexander von Middendorff

message: Why is the title of this article "Aleksandr Fyodorovich Middendorf" This man was german grown up in Estonia. No reason to make him russian. His correct name is Alexander Theodor Middendorf. Siim 21:48, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The title is indeed bad, but for different reasons: it's a transliteration from Russian when there is a perfectly acceptable English name: Alexander Middendorf. As for his nationality, he was an ethnic German, who was born, worked, and died in the Russian Empire. That makes him a Russian scientist. If, as you propose, every scientist is listed by ethnical roots, then there would not be any American or Australian scientists at all. --Gene s 06:14, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

:I'm not absolutely sure, as I have never actually played nor seen a copy of this version myself, but as far as I know it's just another of case of where the European version of something (game or not) in which everything is pretty much the same, except the official name had been changed. I still don't even really understand why this is done in the first place, but there should not be any differences of any significance (expect that the announcer likely says "Dancing Stage" instead of the regular, and the opening screen.

Talk:Ordnance QF 17-pounder

message: I've noted a fair amount of variation in penetration quotes for the APDS projectile, for example, at 1000 yards at 30º, two quotes are 170mm (Bovington) and 231mm (Jane's Armour and Artillery 1981-82). This page seems to carry a good sample of different quotes -- the variation is striking.  I wonder what is causing it, perhaps improved post-war ammunition or changes to the definition of how penetration was measured in tests of armor-piercing projectiles during and after the war.  Cheers, W. B. Wilson (talk) 18:47, 22 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The devil is usually in the details. I've not checked each of these tests, but typically it's due to: ammunition improvements, angle of target armour, composition of armour - and sometimes; misreporting, propaganda. (Hohum @) 16:46, 23 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Penetration of APDS projectile 

message: The article states the box mounted at the rear of the turret of the Firefly conversion was to allow for the recoil of the gun. It doesn't really make clear that the gun itself was a much-modified variant of the 17pdr, including a modified cradle and recoil system.
Further, The gun itself was still too long to fit inside the standard Sherma/M4 turret so the radio was moved from inside the turret into a separate armoured box welded onto the outside back of the turret. The radio was dropped into the box, a lid was welded into place and the radio was accessed by a rather crudely cut opening at the back of the turret. The recoil travel of the gun did not intrude into the space provided by the radio box, as this section of the article might imply.
Andy Loates143.167.140.112 (talk) 13:33, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe it's covered in adequate detail in the Sherman Firefly article, and to some extent what is in this article is just a brief summary. The movement of the radio was due to the long gun and its recoil so its not so much inaccuracy as a less than complete explanation. I'm sure a quick tweak of the text will suffice. GraemeLeggett (talk) 15:26, 24 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: UK practice was to have the radio equipment inside the turret where it could be operated by the Commander or Loader - US practice at the time was for it to be inside the hull proper. That was why the Grant had a different turret from the US-designed Lee one, as it had to house the wireless equipment. So when the 17 pdr was modified for carriage in the Sherman turret the space in the turret bustle that had previously been used in British Shermans for the radio was no longer available. Hence the additional external box to accommodate the wireless equipment.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.4.57.101 (talk) 21:05, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

Talk:2004 Puerto Rican general election

message: Currently, this sentence reads "Similarly, prisoners mentally capable, exercised their vote days earlier, being Puerto Rico the only country of the world where those condemned are allowed to vote." Country is definately the wrong word, Puerto Rico isn't a country [it is subject to US laws], but it isn't a US State either. I'm not sure how to revise this because PR instead has a unique status, since neither "Commonwealth" [it's not that independent] nor "Territory" [it's more self-goveroring than that] seem to apply either.
