Talk:Umrao Singh

message: It doesn't really matter, but quite a few web sites give a date of birth 21 Novemebr 1920. However, as the editor who changed this to 11 July 1920 correctly says, the Times does give 11 July, .

Some of these predate his death so I don't think it can simply be a confusion of dates of birth and death. Thincat 15:58, 23 November 2005 (UTC)

Talk:Maris Crane

message: Some anonymous contributor keeps reversing the application of the Unseen Character attribute to Maris. This should at least be discussed. My belief is that despite her 'shadow' being seen, or a dream of her wrapped in bandages, she fits the definition of an Unseen Character: her face is never seen, she never talks but is only talked about, and her persona is more caricature than real. When I think of the archtypical off-screen character in television sitcoms, she is it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrourke (talk • contribs) 23:00, 20 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You need to read the definition of "unseen character" before complaining. That her face is never seen is not sufficient to fit the definition. If there is any direct observation of the character then she is not an "unseen character". The description of her on the Minor characters on Frasier page claims she is seen twice. If you want to challenge those claims, go right ahead. But seen almost completely covered by bandages is still seen. 99.192.49.166 (talk) 14:18, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Unseen Character category

message: Maris was also a major character on the television show Frasier.  She was the wife of David Hyde Pierce's character Niles Crane, before they eventually divorced but she continued resurfacing, even being arrested for murder in the show's eleventh and final season.
The interesting thing about this character was that she was never seen. Despite the fact that we knew so much about her, we never met Maris. At the beginning of the eleventh season, the producers dropped hints that they may reveal her in the final episode, but ultimately didn't - possibly because it would have been too hard to find any actress who could embody the hundreds of crazy things we knew about the character.
I'm a little confused about events over the course of her divorce from Niles. In this article, "Maris repeatedly tries to lure Niles back, but Niles remains firm". In Niles's article, it says there were "Numerous attempts at reconciliation (mainly initiated by Niles)". Which is true? Is one of these articles wrong, or are both telling half-truths?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.174.89.239 (talk) 14:23, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

message: In the section QF 2-pounder Mark II: Is this a good use of the term "second-rate". It seems like it's being used in the modern attributive meaning of less good than first rate, rather than the Royal Navy use: British ship-of-the-line sail warship that has 90 to 98 guns dispersed onto 3 gundecks. By this system a naval trawler would be lower than sixth-rate. In an article about a British naval gun, this is surely a confusing use at best, and if it is meant pejoratively, probably wrong.

thread_title:  Second-Rate Ships 

message: Hi,
under specifications on the right side, the last part, there is a "filling weight" of 71g. I checked how much 2 Pounds are, it seems like it is 907,18474 Gramm. In the article, there is written that the only thing they had together with the 2 Pound Anti-Tank-Gun or Tank-Gun was the projectile weight of 2 Pounds.
40mm is not a small calibre, so I think 907,18 gramm could be correct, 71g is impossible for a 40mm projectile in my opinion. That is why I think ~907g is properly. If I'm right, can I add somewhere in the article after "2 Pounds" a "2 Pounds (907,18g) or so? For someone not from the UK 2 Pounds are not a real good information or in Germany for example many people use "1 Pfund" for a 500g butter piece for example, and in other cases 500g instead of the correct 453,59237 Gramm. This is a large difference! Greetings Kilon22 (talk) 16:53, 15 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title: Advertising

message: So far I have been unable to find any reliable sources in English providing significant coverage of the 1007 that directly refer to it as any sort of "MPV", yet alone a "mini MPV" specifically. The term is used on WP:USERGENERATED sites (possibly parroting the Wikipedia article) or in listicles which only provide passing coverage of the car and generally focus on the fact that it had unusual doors, but actual reviews don't directly say "this is an MPV", only "there are ways in which this is like an MPV", and it would be misrepresentative WP:SYNTHESIS of those sources to use those as a justification for unambiguously calling the 1007 an MPV. The RAC say it has "" but call it a "" and a "". What Car? say it has "" but call it a "", a "", and say that it "". Auto Express call it a "", which is closer to calling it an MPV but still not a direct statement of "this is an MPV". Similarly, the AA say that the 1007 has "", "", and an ""; but when it comes to actually defining the 1007 rather than comparing it other things, they opt to call it an "" (whatever that is). If we are to WP:STICKTOSOURCE, it is at least as much an "urban runabout" as it is an "MPV". Pininfarina call it an MPV, but they're a primary source and often companies will describe their products using terms few others would agree with or even understand. How it is referred to in languages other than English is largely a separate issue that can still be addressed in the article, but in English the evidence generally points away from this car being "an MPV" rather than it merely "sharing certain qualities with MPVs".
