Talk:Old Cariboo Highway

message: Interesting that this is still a streetname in PG; this article will wind up being expanded to cover the original rebuild of the Cariboo Highway in 1922, which formally began at Yale, where what is now "Old Yale Road" ended (in the old days called the Grand Trunk Road, bits of which survive as Old Yale in Surrey, Abby, and Chilliwack), when a highway was once again punched through the Fraser Canyon after the CPR destroyed the Cariboo Road ("Queen's Highway" formally) in the 1880s.  This - sans "Old" - was the name of the Fraser-Thompson route from Yale to Cache Creek until the opening/naming of the Trans-Canada; as there's a modern Cariboo Highway (Cache Creek-PG) this article will have to also be for the history of the older one; of which that stretch in PG is the remaining segment by that name; it may also exist, I wouldn't be surprised, in Clinton, 100 Mile, Williams Lake and Quesnel, here and there in spots.Skookum1 20:40, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Peter Faber

message: 11-April-2007: I have completed general cleanup for wording, tone, punctuation and links, tagged in July 2006.  The archaic use of "repaired" was changed as "moved" to Rome.  Article titles were bolded (redirection from "Pierre Favre" and "Pierre Lefevre").  The POV excessive praises from the Catholic Encyclopedia were converted to neutral statements of facts ("thankless task" to "difficult task" etc.).  As "Saint" Peter Faber, some veneration still remains in the article, but I think the tone is close to neutral.

Talk:Andrew Walker (murderer)

message: Below is a transcription of the Times article of Saturday, May 18, 1985; pg. 3; Issue 62141; col A.  I can email a copy of the whole article to anybody who would like to see the original. Just send me an email from my talkpage.Please note, I have removed the family names out of respect for their confidentiality.
"Walker's record as a regular soldier was first class.  He had three tours of duty in Northern Ireland, on one of which he was mentioned in dispatches.  
But to his Royal Scots comrades, who nicknamed him "Billy Liar", he was a compulsive braggart, telling tall stories with himself as a star.  He had no close friends and was generally unpopular.  With his swaggering went a need for money.
The crime was, in the words of one senior police officer, a simple military solution to Walker's desperate lack of money.  At the end of 1984, when faced with a 2000 pound car bill, his solution was to order a 8,500 pound MG Maestro, claiming he would pay cash on delivery in February.  At the same time he owed 900 pounds to Access, the credit card company.  He told his wife, XXXX, aged 27, who lived in married quarters with their children XXXX, aged seven and XXXXXX, aged four, that he had found a cache of money on one of his many solitary walks."
Based on this, I believe that the article is well-sourced concerning his financial situation and the attitudes of his fellow soldiers.  Please do not delete the information again, and only add verifiable, sourced information as described above.  The editor might also want to look at the conflict of interest guidelines. --Slp1 16:43, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Negligent discharge

message: The WP article on Accidental discharge was deleted because it was a copyright violation. I sat down to write a new, clean version.

Talk:Aabenraa

message: I removed the sentence "(The German version Apenrade is Low German for "monkeys' council"!)" but it was reverted. I just wonder how this whimsical information can be regarded relevant? It is similar to saying that Warsaw means war + saw in English, or Glasgow has something to do with glass, or Moscow with cows.
The German name of Åbenrå was modelled over the ending -rade, a common place name ending in Holstein. Merchants and civil servants were often Low German speaking and came from Holstein, so a Low German version of the name emerged. The letter a often had (and has) an o-like sound in Low German, so it would make sense to them that the name pronounced in the local Danish dialect as Obenroe or Offenro could be written Apenrade. I never heard about the monkey version before. --Sasper 08:22, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

message: This article is very, very wrong.

If you would ask a German, what the difference is between fastelavn and karnival, the answer would be: "The dialect you speak". Both words mean the same literally and culturally. Dybdahl 13:24, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I changed the article to describe this.  Dybdahl 13:35, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: An easy reference is to google it or to look in wikipedia on Limburgish, Ripuarian, Low saxon. I have lived in Bonn for 10 years, and basically, fastelovend is the Germanic word for the latin word carnival, covering much of Germany, Netherlands, Luxembourgh, Scandinavia. It is written in a few different ways, but Fastelovend seems to be the most prevalent way of writing it in Germany. However, I think that you should divide the word into "fastel-ovend", where "ovend" is the local word that means evening (related to German "abend" or dutch "avond"). For instance here, where you can see Düx am ovend (Deutz in the evening): http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/display/5381479. Please note that the official German language is really very much an imposed language on much of Germany, and that the dialects of north Germany are really closer to normal Danish dialects or Dutch in many regards, than to official German.

Talk:Mauser MG 213

message: How is that "a 30mm version was developed into the MG 213C or MK 213, and it was this that led to the ADEN, DEFA and M39 cannon"? The ADEN and DEFA are 30mm guns. The M39 is a 20mm gun, just like the MG 213. So unless there was some significant difference between the 20mm MG 213 and the 30mm MG 213C that was incorporated into the later guns, I don't see how the larger 30mm version "led to" the 20mm M39 cannon.
I'd say that the plain MG 213 led to the ADEN, DEFA, M39 AND the MG213C. That would be how I saw it.
Also surprised there is no mention of the ShVAK and ShKAS on here. It would be surprising if they didn't have at least some bearing on the Germans inspiration to try out a revolver cannon of their own..45Colt 21:04, 2 April 2014 (UTC)

My dad worked on the team which reverse engineered the Mauser MG 213 Guns into the M39 the ones they got to work from were found in a burned out box car or as is called in Europe a Goods Wagon. He was at the Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology as an Apprentice machinist after WW II. They also worked on the 57mm Boosted Rocket gun for the F-89 Scorpion which lost out in testing to the FFAR 2.75inch rocket which was called the Might Mouse.

I suggest that the section "Realizations" be removed completely. Mention of his important contributions to these programs could be made in the "Career" section. That conforms to the pattern of bios of other computer scientists on Wikipedia. Sayitclearly (talk) 09:35, 23 September 2019 (UTC)
