Talk:Galicia (Eastern Europe)

message: There are some mistakes in the text, which I am not able to correct due to the edit protection. However, a particularly striking one is the claim that "The Polish language was historically predominant throughout Galicia." in the section on People. This is not true and can be easily checked in e.g. the Austro-Hungarian censuses (the results of the 1900 one are in Gemeindelexikon der im Reichsrate vertretenen Königreiche und Länder (Band XII Galizien), K. K. Statistische Zentralkommission, 1907). It is clear that the Ruthenian (Ukrainian) language predominated in East Galicia, i.e. the Polish language was not "predominant throughout Galicia". 130.238.231.42 (talk) 15:03, 1 February 2024 (UTC)

message: Where are mistakes in the article.
1. “what is now Southeastern Poland” - it should be “what is now south and southeastern Poland”. Krakow is located on the south of Poland.
2.  it is written in the title  “Eastern Europe“. Wikipedia makes this mistake all the time.
it should be written “Central and Eastern Europe”. Poland is located in the central Europe.

Talk:New Dorp, Staten Island

message: A while back, someone tried to increase (without sourcing) many of the New York pages' demographic sections to wildly increase the Albanian-American percentage. I don't know if New Dorp has a significant Albanian-American population, or if this a recurrence of the earlier phenomenon.

message: On October 21 a user named Peter.riley84 replaced a great deal of the biographical content without explanation or sources.  The original version described a Jon Riley born in 1805 who died in 1850 in Veracruz; the new Riley was born in 1824 and died in 1879 in Texas.  (This conflicts with the claim that Robert Ryal Miller found Riley's death certificate in Veracruz, which remains in the article, though Peter Riley deleted a long quote whose legitimacy I cannot guess at.)

What is wanted? I would normally use unspaced em dash but don't want to change the style without consensus. So, should it be unspaced em dash of spaced en dash? Johnuniq (talk) 01:18, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text:  , thanks for running that script.  interestingly, it caught two spaced hyphen-minuses  in an image's alt text that i missed, though it also appears to have ignored all spaced minus signs , perhaps by design., i am guessing that the minus signs should be replaced with en dashes because (1) all the other earlier uses of the minus sign were found in ranges, which the mos states should be punctuated with en dashes; (2) had the original intention been to use an unspaced em dash, i assume that the minus signs would not have been spaced; and (3) there are a number of spaced en dashes currently in the article, and no em dashes, spaced or unspaced.  dying (talk) 07:59, 24 January 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point, I've done that. There is a MOS suggestion somewhere about using a template to no-wrap the space before the dash but that uglifies the wikitext so I just used plain en dashes. Johnuniq (talk) 08:31, 24 January 2024 (UTC)

Talk:Beer Hall Putsch

message: I believe there is quite a bit of misinformation in the above mentioned section.
Unfortunately it gives no reference or source to ascertain where the information was taken from, however the information on the page is contradictory to a first-hand account from Alfred Rosenberg in the first volume of Blut und Ehre (Pg. 96-97).
In this he states that Hitler was at the centre of front row, flanked to the right by Ludendorff, Göring, Graf, and Streicher, and to the left by Gräfe, Feder and Kriebel.
Rosenberg himself was in the second row, directly behind Hitler, with Schickedanz to his left and Körner to his right.
The above account corresponds to many photos from the anniversary marches in later years, which roughly mirrored the locations of the men in 1923.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by FormalRS (talk • contribs) 06:17, 12 January 2021 (UTC)

We have a photo of a couple of the police troops waiting for the putschists, still preparing I believe.            
Still... there's no photo of the moment (or moments before, face to face) the police troops & putchists clash. There's an image from a postcard but it is clear that it isn't an original. It's a photo of the place, with the putchists drawned in. The future dictator is said (I can't quote it out the top of my mind) to have been behind the first or second line, safe and sound. It's also the reason why he wasn't killed like so many, that it's a myth which he was at the front. 86.120.224.52 (talk) 18:54, 9 November 2023 (UTC)

Any source on this translation?

message: Article lists Danzig as having a 'baritone voice and a tenor vocal range'. Is he a baritone or a tenor? It would be unusual to be both i.e. have a singing voice that spans or overlaps two vocal ranges. The way the article currently reads suggests two disparate sources of information. tim.wilson.online (talk) 15:09, 25 February 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: @Tim.wilson.online here is what the cited L.A. Times article states about his voice, "Danzig has a gusty voice capable of melodic clarity" and actually does not support any other statement in that sentence so unclear why it is cited.  The article actually compares the Misfits to the Ramones ("a speeded-up version of the Ramones powerchord formula...").  I do not have access to the other two sources cited but looking back into the history, back in March 2009, the article stated "As a singer, he is noted for his vocal range and distinctive style.." with the same cited sources so I agree this is suspect.

Talk:History of the Jews in Carpathian Ruthenia

message: Following was moved to the talk:
"Many Slavs initially welcomed the Nazi invaders with traditional gifts of bread and salt. National patriotism and anti-semitic resentments have long been closely linked among the speakers of Rusyn. From the time of Bohdan Chmielnicki (1595 - 1657), to give the Polish version of his name, the Polish hetman of the Ukraine who led the revolt of the Ukraine, the concept of "Ruthenian" was inseparable from attempted genocide of Jews (see Bohdan Khmelnytsky). In 1939, some nationalist Ruthenians, sharing the same hatred of Jews as the Nazi occupiers, saw the Nazis first as liberators from the menace of Soviet Bolshevism to the east, and from cultural domination of Czechs in the nation-state. They failed to see that Nazis viewed Slavs also as less than human. "
What I know, from history of the Carpatian Ruthenia, during the WW2 it was annexed by Hungary. The text above is probably related to Eastern Galicia. Cautious 10:01, 2 Feb 2004 (UTC)
replies: text: But in the villages and small towns, the Ruthenians live in the former Jewish homes today, and public discourse on this aspect of Carpathian Ruthenia is stifled. The question of Nazi collaboration, voluntary or forced, is a difficult one throughout Europe, but one thing is clear: in a totalitarian state, all private actions are involuntary to some extent.

message: In the Early life section we are told "...from 1914 until his death, he had no good reason to attract attention to his German background." I'm sure this is at least a little misleading. A major job of Monash's after the war was as both chairman and general manager of the State Electricity Commission of Victoria(SEC). The Formation sub-section of that article, which mentions his role, also mentions that the work the SEC did was modelled on what Germany was doing with similar coal resources. This German influence was true for much of the early life of the SEC. It's hard to believe that any German connection Monash had did not play some part in his role there.
