Talk:Charles Mudede

message: I gather that Charles Mudede is, indeed, related to Tobaiwa Mudede, but I don't think he in any way shares the latter's politics. If an article on Charles Mudede going to mention Tobaiwa Mudede's role as Registrar-General for Mugabe, surely it should delineate Charles Mudede's own views vis a vis Mugabe: He has called Mugabe "evil"  and has written that he "has crushed every dream that attempted to breathe and flicker in what used to be known as 'the bread basket of Africa.'"  Surely that is more relevant to a piece on Charles Mudede than the fact that he is related to people who think or have thought otherwise. - Jmabel | Talk 20:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I see that mention of Tobaiwa Mudede has now been removed, with which I have no problem; I still think that adding a mention of Charles Mudede's published remarks on the head of state of his native country would be appropriate. - Jmabel | Talk 00:44, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Mugabe dictator 

message: From what I know of Mudede (whom I've met a few times, and with whom I have mutual friends) he'd probably have no problem with the description of himself as "leftwing" or "Marxist", but it troubles me that neither of these two sometimes weighted descriptions is cited from any reliable source. If they are his self-description, they should be sited from his own writing. If not, they should be attributed. A quick web search verified only that his political enemies call him these things, which is not a reason to include them in an encyclopedia article unless those enemies are themselves notable. As far as I can tell, they are not. At all. - Jmabel | Talk 06:09, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Talk:Lake Maggiore

message: According to the current version, "The lake has a surface area of about 213 cubic kilometres". Surfaces would be measured by square kilometers, not by cubic kilometers. 87.161.146.197 (talk) 10:20, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I've changed the units to square kilometres. Thanks for pointing this out. -- 15:48, 11 January 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wrong units 

message: Currently, according to the summary, it "extends for about 70 kilometres (43 miles) between Locarno and Arona". In the Geography section "Lake Maggiore is 64.37 kilometers / 34¾ nautical miles long" at the beginning, but a few lines below the text refers to "a maximum length of 54 km".
I measured the lake with the google-earth ruler, and the distance from the northermost point near Minusio and the southermost point near Dormelletto is 54.3 km.  Of course if one was to sail between these two points the length would be far longer, due to the forced zig-zag due to the sinuous form of this lake.
So, it's a matter of deciding what one means by length.  Is there an accepted standard definition?
Nicola.Manini (talk) 11:25, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure if there a standard definition but I think both are correct and should be indicated on the page. I also found 54 km for the maximal length and about 65 km remaining within the lake (you can measure it easily if you follow the regional border in the middle of the lake). I indicated on the page that 54 km refers to a straight line to make sure everybody understands. ZachG (Talk) 12:25, 25 September 2014 (UTC)

text: OK, today Lake Maggiore has at least 3 lengths: 65 km in the summary, 64.37 km at the beginning of the geography section, and 54 km as the "straight-line" a few lines below. Overall, the situation has improved slightly, because at least the 70 km mark of last Sept. has disappeared. But I'm sure that as long as one agrees on measuring distances following zig-zaging paths, arbitrarily long results can turn up... Nicola.Manini (talk) 02:33, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

message: A strange paragraph:
"Due to one of this river's tributaries, the Rhône, having a different concentration of silt suspended in its waters, creating a view similar to that of the mouth of the Amazon River."
I would have tried to make this grammatical, but was unsure what it had been hoped to convey. (Presumably it is Franglish in origin?)
Also, should it be in WikiProject Switzerland (not just France), being a Swiss river as well?

Talk:List of half marathon races

message: Wikipedia:Notability (sports) outlines the criteria for notability of road races. It states:
*Many notable Road Racing events might not be officially sanctioned by the IAAF, its national affiliates or other sanctioning bodies. Hence the notability of a road race is determined by meeting any one of the following criteria: 
# It has an international elite (as defined by the IAAF standards for that year) field of at least 5 different nationalities.
# It receives broadcast or cable television coverage beyond the local market (if coverage is through the internet, the site must be independent of the sport, for example Universal Sports).
# It is a directly competitive meeting between several notable performers (at least 5).
# It awards prize money in excess of $5,000 to the winner.
The following criteria may also be used to satisfy road race notability, but does not count towards the notability of athletes who compete in these races
# It has been the site of exceptional performances or records (bests).
# It regularly has over 5,000 competitors, 
# It has been held over a unique course or distance consistently over a period of 25 years.

Talk:Primorsk, Kaliningrad Oblast

message: By what means could one man destroy a grove of mature oaks? It doesn't seem feasible that using an axe could do that. It would be extremely labor intensive. Oak is a rather hard wood e.g., Northern Red Oak has a hardness of 1290 on the Janka scale, White Oak is 1360.
(Compare with White Pine, which is much softer, and rated at 380).
Slash and burn technique can kill mature trees but the process might take weeks or months.
There is an account that states that it was forbidden to touch a sacred oak and Adalbert made the mistake of doing so, which carried a penalty of death.

Talk:Rhenish Palatinate

message: rhenish palatinate was never an official name for either any of the former states, districts of bavaria or rhineland-palatinate or for the region. in that respect, the german page for rheinpfalz also needs correction.
in documents, rheinpfalz was sometimes alternatively used for unterpfalz (lower palatinate) as a differentiation from the Upper Palatinate. therefore, quite correctly, the term does not appear e. g. in the article on the Electoral Palatinate.
yet, rheinpfalz is a term still very much in use, much more than it was historically. therefore it is not an "old" name.Sundar1 (talk) 08:05, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Upper Rhine

message: Support. In fact there is another article on the same subject at Rhine Rift which ought to be incorporated too. Strictly there is a distinction between the (Upper) Rhine Rift, which is the geological structure, and the Upper Rhine Plain, which is the geographical landscape on top of it. However that distinction can be brought out in the new merged article. If the merger grows too large, it can always be split out again, but perhaps more logically than the current 3 articles. For what it's worth, Upper Rhine Plain, Rhine Rift Valley and Rhine Rift are all authoritative English names (according to Dickinson or Elkins). I suggest we stick with Upper Rhine Plain as the overall title (since it embraces the others) and use Rhine Rift or Rift Valley as the sub-title of the geological section --Bermicourt (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
