Talk:USS Utah (BB-31)

message: Can anyone add images for the ship just prior to Pearl and of the 'rusting hulk' as it is today? the_ed17 00:15, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images 

message: The Utah served several functions as AG-16. It was a target for dummy bombs from aircraft. Its large guns had been removed but was armed with 5" guns used for training sailors. It was also operated for up to four hours at a time by radio control and was an early naval version of a Predator drone. This happened in 1940 and q94q. Perhaps before then but that is what I have from former sailors. Technology was advancing rapidly then. The Navy saw potential benefits in having robot-ships and the idea still has merit. 
Many of the gunners who later served on other ships trained aboard USS Utah. That was a worthy purpose. Another final purpose came on December 7, 1941. The Utah was moored in a position Japanese Intelligence considered a mooring area for aircraft carriers. The loss of the Utah and many of its men perhaps saved a carrier from a similar fate.
Identifying a ship from the air is difficult visually. The Japanese airmen saw an odd-looking ship moored where a carrier was supposed to be. They did an effective job in sinking the Utah but it was not the target for which they had hoped and planned. The Utah suffered attacks from pilots who were mistaken.
 This mistake sank the Utah but perhaps saved other ships. By the way, the rusting hulk of the Utah, complete with sailors interred inside it is still visible at Pearl Harbor. Though its losses don't compare with those of the Arizona and some other ships present at the time. Any review of the details will indicate that the Utah died. The Navy lost one of its research ships and the loss set back naval technology for the US Navy to a degree.
It continues to surprise me that a third wave of Japanese attacks was not ordered. The dry docks and oil storage facilities there by themselves would have made a great change in the US response to the attacks would have been slowed far more. That was the greatest foul-up the Japanese forces made in WWII. US naval bases would have had to be returned to San Diego. Petitjean1 (talk) 19:43, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Karl Thomas Mozart

message: I'm struggling to see how he was notable.  He may have been a "gifted pianist", but he appears never to have done anything with his gifts.  If his name happened to be Schmidt rather than Mozart, would we realistically be having an article on him?  Honestly? Take out the waffle such as "... he appreciated the amenities of the place and the wholesomeness of water. He bequeathed the house to the town, which is stated on a plaque dedicated to him. The Town Hall keeps a copy of the will. He also frequently attended events related to his father until his death in Milan in 1858", and what's left?  Not much.  Also, his claim to fame as set out in the lede is that he was his father's son.  Unfortunately, notability is not inherited.  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 11:10, 16 June 2011 (UTC)

message: For the purposes of being a notable Cosmos player, I've taken a criteria that a player must have either made 50 appearances for the club or be a full international, or made some other significant contribution to the club.  The most notable have a short blurb, while any others meeting this criteria are just listed.
The addition of:
* Marcus Phillips (footballer) (2000-01) 24 apps 0 goals
* Brian Hamilton (footballer) (1999-00) 27 apps 1 goal
* Gordon Hunter (footballer, born 1967) 28  games 2 goals [
* David Winnie (1999-00) 23 apps 1 goal
are all for players outside this criteria.  Other than being non-Australian, I wouldn't say they are notable (and none have their own article) and so have dropped them from the list.  - Tomperc (talk) 22:40, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Ketagalan people

message: I had reverted Bubbha's edit here because I do not think it's true. Recently, I've been watching a Taiwanese talk show called 大話新聞. It may be Pan Green but it talked about something non-political: it said when the Han Chinese started maigrating to Taiwan, there was hardly any Chinese woman who came to Taiwan. That means they had to have children with the pingpu aborigines 平埔族. So the aborigines may be culturally assimilated, but most of them might still ethnically be aboriginal and not Han Chinese.--Soccerking344 14:37, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: &quot;&#1077;&#1088;&#1091;&quot; titles

message: I sectioned the article to eliminate the appearance that the term was introduced in the Soviet Union, an opinion even expressed in some books. 
In fact, the expressions "nation titulaire"/"nationalite titulaire"  may be found in French texts on the break of 19/20th centuries (eg here or a lecture title]: "La nation titulaire originaire de la souverainite". So it was probably calqued from French. Unfortunately now I have no sources to support this opinion, nor about the history of the French term (my French is very limited). 
At the same time, Google search seem to indicate that the term is used predominantly in soviet/postsoviet contexts (but not exclusively so).

Depending on the source, these ships wore the prefix AHS (Australian/Army Hospital Ship) or HMAHS (His Majesty's AHS), although some sources incorrectly list them as HMAS, as the author (incorrectly) assumes that all Australian military or quasi-military ships were part of the RAN.

The reason I ask is because the album cover clearly shows a capital "F" in the title "QuarterFlash" on the album cover.
In addition, the capitalization of the "F" occurred nether on the "Take Another Picture" nor on the "Back In Blue" album covers, so it could be inferred that the capitalization uniquely references the album title and not the band title.
