Talk:Gough Whitlam/Archive 1

message: An editor recently added an undue tag to the section which summarises the allegations about the CIA's involvement in The Dismissal. Generally, that editor should start a talk page discussion to provide their reasons for adding the tag. Burrobert (talk) 12:45, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I might tend to agree that the allegations, which are not very substantiated, are covered elsewhere and here is not the place for them. at such length Wehwalt (talk) 13:32, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  There is a separate article about the allegations, so it would be reasonable to only include a summary here. We could discuss how much of the issue to include. Presumably the editor who added the undue tag is suggesting that the whole section be removed because they considered the allegations a conspiracy theory. That would be unwarranted given the level of commentary available about the allegations. Burrobert (talk) 14:31, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Their edit summary said, "why are we devoting one-third of this section to boosting a conspiracy theory?" I would suggest that a paragraph of three to four moderately-sized paragraphs would suffice for this article. Wehwalt (talk) 16:33, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  In that case it does not need much trimming, since it only consists of five paragraphs, each of which consists of between two and four sentences. The key points to cover are: that there are background reasons for the CIA wanting Whitlam removed; that there is some circumstantial evidence for CIA involvement; and that some people do, and others don't, believe the CIA was involved. Burrobert (talk) 16:53, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: I've shortened it while trying to keep to those points. The Anthony CIA involvement seemed to me peripheral. Wehwalt (talk) 17:17, 30 September 2023 (UTC)
replies: text:  Right-ho. Anthony's connection to the CIA is mentioned in the Alleged CIA involvement in the Whitlam dismissal page. However, there is no mention that the CIA officer Stallings channelled money to Anthony, so I will copy that across. Burrobert (talk) 17:54, 30 September 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: Without independent sources talking about it, all of the above sounds like original research and not allowed on Wikipedia. Also, the CHL is about development, so the teams tend to cycle from success to re-build quickly. The AHL is all about player development these days and less than half are not directly owned by their NHL parent team, so those teams appear to care less about team success and more about players. The ECHL is unstable in membership, so droughts are pointless as long as fans show up. Yosemiter (talk) 01:15, 8 October 2019 (UTC)

message: It is clear that the cork grows on the tree as a sort of bark, but cutting the bark of a tree in a ring around it usually kills that tree, so it is not clear how cork can be repeatedly harvested from one tree. It would be nice to have some elaboration on this point. How are multiple harvest taken from one tree if the cork is bark. Is there secondary bark underneath the cork? Nailedtooth (talk) 07:25, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Ranks and insignia of the Ordnungspolizei

thread_title:  Merge? 

message: I don`t understand why SS-ranks are that (!) important in this context. It could be mentioned that some higher ranks and all highest ranks were SS-members and that they had an equivalent SS-rank. Max. 30% of higher ranks in the Ordungspolizei had SS-membership (in comparison to 66% in the Sicherheitspolizei,see Edward B. Westermann, Hitler`s Police Battaillions, 2005, p.102, p. 220). If an Orpo-Member joined the SS he still was a police officer  in a police uniform, he could fix small SS-runes under the left breast-pocket of the Orpo-uniform, that was all. He was still addressed by his police rank and not his SS-rank. Even Delague as Chief of Orpo in the Ministry of Interior was addressed as "General der Polizei" (and dressed as such), he signed his orders as "General der Polizei".  (In an SS-context, he was SS Obergruppenführer.) 
After the war many of those in the Orpo who joined the SS (very helpful for better careers!)claimed that they had not applied individually for membership, that they got their SS-rank automatically - which was not the case but helpful to start new careers after the war. 
--Aschland (talk) 12:28, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: It's valuable historical information, especially for later war reference after the founding of the SS and Police regiments in which most (if not all) of the Orpo leadership also held SS ranks.  On a more broader tone, this article in itself could use a major expansion, fixing the pictures, adding in information about the uniforms, etc.  I for one have been hands off since a lot of the stuff I could add here is prohibited for on-line posting under a contract I have for things that I publish professionally.  I'll get around to it eventually.  But, yes, the article needs work. -O.R.Comms 15:31, 11 August 2016 (UTC)

Talk:Scanner

message: Hey,
The edit to this def. is out of touch with acronyms currently used in vehicle diagnostics. An ECU might be called an ECM but my experience, selling scanners, has never been an acronym called a TCU. TCM for Trannsmission Control Modules is common. Upper Control Modules, Door Modules, Seat Control Modules are real Modules not Units. Climate Control Modules, Yes. I have never heard of a PCM mentioned in any scan tool literature.
As for the definition, as modified, is not accurate. An automotive electronic control unit diagnostic tool.
A scanner not only diagnoses the the faults in system modules it also access's all the sensors input to the modules found on the system. So..........
Maybe: A vehicle diagnostic tool.
The original def.: Scanner (automotive), Generic reference to a wide variety of electronic diagnostic tool's used to read values stored in vehicle computer modules.
Is defendably correct.

replies: text: If you are primarily interested in stating a definition, then the proper place for that is scanner in Wiktionary.
