Talk:Toronto Fire Services

message: This page is listed under the "Emergency Services Equipment Makers" category....this makes no sense whatsoever
I'd like to clean up this page by simplifying it.
I'd like to delete the area, "A list of fire stations with their own logos or motos" under the Histroy Section, as well as the Equipment, Notable Fires, and Miscellaneous Sections. I only want to do this to really simplify the page and give the most basic information on the Toronto Fire Department that is expected from an encyclopedia (if people want to know the equipment they use, they can check with the Fire Services website themselves). Even the articles for FDNY and LAFD aren't as complicated as this, and those Fire Services are 10 times as big as Toronto's.
Also, I would like to clean up the External Links section, but I don't really know many "fire related" websites. I'm not some fire department fan or anything like that... I just watched Ladder 49 and thought I'd google the Toronto Fire Services, which lead me to the Wikipedia article for it. And well... come on now, that was some terrible writing there. So, I thought I'd do some of those little edits, but I don't want to do any of those major edits unless others agree..
Well I don't know exactly how many people will respond to this. But if I don't hear much more in a week, I'm going to go ahead with the changes.

Talk:Battle of Castlebar

message: "Despite the decisive victory, the Franco-Irish sustained heavier losses, with 150 killed in comparison to 80 deaths on the British side." 
It is written 150 killed AND WOUNDED on the right and up summing up (there could be less killed than 80, if it is so). Is this sentence wrong? What are the actual figures? Besides, maybe this sentence should be removed altogether, it actually looks like an attempt to relativize the defeat by someone whose nationalistic feelings were hurt.
:Also, why did the victors at Castlebar fail to take on new recruits? You would think the locals would have flocked to join up, but the numbers were the same at the Battle of Ballinamuck soon after.78.17.16.157 (talk) 15:14, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Scarrifholis

message: The positions of Letterkenny and Lifford on the map are incorrect. Letterkenny is further west at the end of Lough Swilly - not on the River Foyle. Lifford is further north than indicated, roughly where Letterkenny is now located on the left bank of the Foyle, just north of the confluence of the Rivers Mourne and Finn. The positions of the other towns are roughly correct. The battle took place on the banks of the River Swilly, a few miles west-south-west of the Letterkenny.

Talk:Grand Duke George Alexandrovich of Russia

message: I'm unsure of whether to add this page to the category for heirs apparent who never acceded, because he was an heir apparent and he never ruled, but he was moreso an heir presumptive. Morhange 04:13, 11 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Can this article be moved to George Alexandrovich, Tsarevich of Russia or George Alexandrovich, Tsesarevich of Russia because that was his highest title in life.  I know he was heir presumptive not heir apparent but look at Isabella, Princess of Asturias (1470–1498) and Isabella, Princess of Asturias (1851–1931) who were both heir presumptive to the Csatilian and Spanish throne but their article still give their title as heir presumptive.--Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy (talk) 03:20, 3 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Tsesarevich is correct, but will be endlesslky reverted by those who think it's a misspelling of Tsarevich. Tsarevich was not a substantive title: any and all sons of a tsar were entitled to be bear it, although by custom it was used informally only for the heirs apparent. Grand Duke is the title he appears to be best known by in English, and that's where his article is now. FactStraight (talk) 06:14, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Battle of Elasa

message: to Anonymous editor, i've written a new edit, trying to incorporate both your biblical literalist viewpoint & your extreme scepticism viewpoint - of course i've still given space to an attempt to reconstruct the basic events of the battle, based on 1 Maccabees, but people can see that there are others who don't accept that - even though for all i know, you're alone in doing so.
the rambling speculation about phalangite stamina seems pretty irrelevant, so i removed it, along with the reference whose only purpose was to back it up.
No problem with any of the various summaries either of us have put forward, except to correct some english, though i can't see why any of them needed to be changed, whatever one's viewpoint. don't think it's necessary to give too much hasmonean history in this article, there are links for that.

message: After four years lacking a source, I've removed the claim that Three Bullet Gate was the bearna bhaoil in the Irish national anthem. The phrase goes back centuries before then in Irish, and somewhat before then in English too (see wikt:gap of danger). It is a generic phrase, if now fallen largely into disuse. Thomas Davis used "bearna baoghail" in relation to the Battle of Ramillies. If Peadar Kearney had a specific bearna baoghail in mind, rather than just using a phrase that rhymes with "woe or weal" and "rifle's peal", then it should be mentioned in Seamus de Burca's biography of Kearney, if anyone has a copy. jnestorius(talk) 14:10, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

So I am removing "to bivouac for the night and prepare to take the rebels' surrender the following day."

How did 'we reach this day 'since' ancient times'? Is it saying 'after a long time, we finally reached this day'? Is it saying 'we were always like this from time immemorial'? Is it saying something else? I think it must be something else.
Google Translate gave me something even more strange than these possibilities. Even if this is an official translation, I would appreciate some kind of clarification on the meaning of this particular phrase. A close review of the entire English translation might be in good order- or any kind of good source for an somewhat official translation.

message: I have made updates to the "Battle" and "Aftermath" sections, adding greater detail and description than the article previously had. The additions are around 450 and 500 words respectively. For the "Battle" section, I included details on the opening skirmishes preceding the battle, greater description of the infantry combat, and context to May's cavalry charge (which was already present in the article), and a short description of General Arista's actions during the battle. In the "Aftermath" section, I added several new paragraphs expanding the details already present. Within the original paragraph discussing the capture of Mexican equipment, I added a section covering the discovery of Arista's maps that provided Taylor better information about the surrounding area. I added two new paragraphs detailing American public reception of the battle and the strategic conclusions drawn by the battle respectively. Also added was a short description of the relief of the siege of Fort Texas and a sentence describing Arista's treatment of prisoners and wounded to balance the already present claims about Taylor.
