Talk:9th Marine Regiment

message: The Curse of 1/9
Would it be worth mentioning the so-called "curse of 1/9" here? Michael Herr's "Dispatches" recounts a high rate of attrition in the 1/9 during the battle of Khe Sanh and writes of soldiers of the 26th Marines at Khe Sanh believing that the only reason so many attacks hit 1/9's positions was because 1/9 was there.

Talk:Beth Meacham

message: I agree that Meacham is not a major figure, but she is a published author, and a significant figure in the history of science fiction editing.  If I don't misunderstand the rules for what is notable enough to be in Wikipedia, the latter qualification might be contestable, but the former is good enough for her to have an entry.  If not, I'd be glad of a pointer to a policy that explains the distinctions.  Thanks.  Mike Christie 03:00, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Talk:1st Battalion, 9th Marines

message: The article states that "based on a typical battalion strength of 800 Marines and Navy hospital corpsmen, 93.63% (747) were Killed In Action (KIA) and 0.25% (2) were Missing In Action (MIA)." This statistic has no source provided, and is obviously bad math. 1st Battalion 9th Marines suffered 747 KIA throughout the ENTIRE war. That figure simply takes 747 and divides by 800 to get 93% KIA. The same 800 Marines would not have served in the same battalion for the entire war! The actual Marines in 1/9 would number in the thousands.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.229.162.33 (talk) 08:43, 29 September 2013 (UTC)

message: It would be interesting if someone posted a cpu comparison to other cpus such as the 68000, 6502 ect.  If somebody does it, I hope it is acurate and isn't rigged to make one of them look better than it is.  Cpu comparison charts are can be so easily manipulated sometimes.
From: 75.57.187.99:
Compared to other less related cpus, it is somewhat faster than a 68000 clocked at equal speeds, but is much slower than a 32-bit SuperH or an ARM risc cpu.

The latter page says Tianshi Dao was founded in year 142 AD by Zhang Daoling, i.e. 123 before the Jin Dynasty and 176 years before the death of Fan Changsheng (318 AD), and doesn't even mention Fan Changsheng (who, by the way, had at least 19 years left to live after the themple was built).

message: Hello, Please do not add unreferenced names as entries to the list of former employees in articles. Including this type of material in articles does not abide by current consensus and its inclusion is strongly discouraged in our policies and guidelines. The rationales are as follows:
#WP:NOT tells us, Wikipedia is "not an indiscriminate collection of information."  As that section describes, just because something is true, doesn't necessarily mean the info belongs in Wikipedia.  
#As per WP:V, we cannot include information in Wikipedia that is not verifiable and sourced. 
# WP:Source list tells us that lists included within articles (including people's names) are subject to the same need for references as any other information in the article. 
#Per WP:BLP, we have to be especially careful about including un-sourced info about living persons.
If you look at articles about companies in general, you will not find mention of previous employees, except in those cases where the employee was particularly notable.  Even then, the information is not presented just as a list of names, but is incorporated into the text itself (for example, when a company's article talks about the policies a previous CEO had, or when they mention the discovery/invention of a former engineer/researcher). If a preexisting article is already in the encyclopedia for the person you want to add to a list, it's generally regarded as sufficient to support their inclusion in list material in another article. cheers Deconstructhis (talk) 13:57, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cleanup 

message: I'd like to consider this the closest to covering the instruments of a member of this band. Die seems very specific in choosing his instruments and, as far as I've seen, has never used anything but ESP for electric guitars since Dir en grey formed. These are pretty well documented/photographed choices, as well.
However, there were two electric guitars I could not decern what exactly they were, and appear to be the only two unaccounted for on the page - a black-on-black telecaster-style guitar I suspect is an old ESP Throbber, and a Black guitar with a white pearl pickguard that I have no clue what it is, but it is clearly ESP.
Also, I wonder if there is another 6-string Morris that Die uses in a natural finish, or if Kaoru only uses these. I thought I'd seen one used live, but don't have my videos with me to make sure. I have also seen a picture of a 12-string acoustic on Die's guitar rack very recently (within the past year or two) that I assume is used by Die and is also a Morris.
