Talk:Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church

message: I've moved the article to the full English name of "Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church", which should help non-Ethiopians who have mostly never heard of "Tewahedo".--Pharos 08:04, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure you mean well, but the result is that we're now struggling with an even more convoluted name. So do we use the official name (viz. the Tewahedo Church), or the name English speakers may be most familiar with (viz. the Ethiopian Orthodox Church). Frankly, the name I'd guess most English speakers would use -- who are even aware of the tradition of Christianity in Ethiopia -- might be "Ethiopian Christianity". (Although I wouldn't be surprised if there was a significant number who thought the proper name is "Rastafarians".) -- llywrch 04:25, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, it seems that even some reference materials refer to it (erroneously) as the "Coptic Church."  If I've heard it mentioned by someone at all, it's usually just "Ethiopian Orthodox."  FWIW, when I've visited Ethiopian churches here in the U.S., the sign outside says "Saint Xyz Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church."  Quite a mouthful, but that's how the church refers to itself; I assume the Wikipedia article should do the same.  There are already several redirects to this article.  But if we must rename the article, I'd suggest "Ethiopian Orthodox Church," but leave the opening sentence as it now appears, with the word "Tewahedo." -- Gyrofrog  (talk) 05:22, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moved to full name 

message: As the Coptic Pope (nor the Ethiopian Orthodox Church) is not in comunion with the Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church I don't think it makes much sense to say that it is second in size only to the Russian Orthodox Church anymore than it would be to say it was n in size to x churches.  Therefore I'm rewording the beginning of this article.

Talk:George Germain, 1st Viscount Sackville

message: it says after the Battle of Minden he was "cashiered and sent home." What does cashiered mean? I've never heard that term. Maybe it's British English (I'm American) --Awiseman 15:37, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Cashiered? 

message: This article is far more negative towards Sackville's actions at Minden than seems appropriate.  The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography article on him seems much more even-handed.  It mentions nothing of antipathy towards Granby or a desire to deny him glory.  Instead, it basically says that Sackville's failure to take advantage of the opportunity largely arose through a misunderstanding, facilitated by confused orders from Ferdinand.  It basically says that Sackville's disgrace was a result of unfair attacks after the battle by Ferdinand, and that the court martial convicting him came as close as possible to acquittal without actually acquitting him (which would have been embarrassing for the king).  Should we modify this? john k (talk) 14:18, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

=== confusing entries === 
Several of the entries -- including 5 of the first 6 entries! -- in the "References" section of the article, say only "Weintraub" followed by a page number, which is confusing to me. The first three, e.g., say "Weintraub p.31". 
I could not find the character string "Weintraub" anywhere else in that article. 
Is it supposed to be obvious, which author (and which work by that author) named "Weintraub" is meant? (/slash "implied") -- ? --

Talk:Mechanical engineering

message: FEA - Very little description on what FEA solves for other than "structural analysis". More description about the specific goals of these methods can be added. (deflection of solid body, different types of stresses). Additionally, there is very little mention of how these meshes are used. Perhaps adding information about convergence of analysis leading to certainty, since too small of a mesh may not result in results that model a part or system in the real world.Cole2R (talk) 20:16, 4 September 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Suggested addition for an introduction sentence: "Finite Element Analysis is a computational tool used to estimate stress, strain, and deflection of solid bodies. It uses a mesh setup with user-defined sizes to measure physical quantities at a node. The more nodes there are, the higher the precision."Cole2R (talk) 20:38, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

text: What does everyone think about adding something like this to biomechanics section?: "In the past decade, reverse engineering of materials found in nature such as bone matter has gained funding in academia. The structure of bone matter is optimized for its purpose of bearing a large amount of compressive stress per unit weight. The goal is to replace crude steel with bio-material for structural design."  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cole2R (talk • contribs) 20:21, 4 September 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Catan: Cities & Knights

message: I'm a huge fan of the game, enjoying it for its quality of being a very exciting epic game.  When looking at this page, I knoticed that in the "quick facts" box to the right of the page header, the game time is listed as "45-60 minutes".  However, I have never seen a game of Cities and Knights of Catan that took that little time.  A more accurate estimation of the length of the average game would be
Standard Settlers (3-4 players): 45-90 minutes
Standard Settlers (5-6 players): 90-120 minutes
Seafarers (3-4 players): 45-105 minutes
Seafarers (5-6 players): 120-165 minutes
Cities and Knights (3-4 players): 180-300 minutes
Cities and Knights (5-6 players): 240-480 minutes
I would suggest changing the game length entry in the quick-facts box of each of these games to match the times that I have listed.

Talk:Prime Minister of Finland

message: Strange, on this page they call the "Valtioneuvosto" both Government and Cabinet. Mostly Government though. -- Jniemenmaa 12:43 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
Right, but note that Cabinet in English usage is a narrower term than Government, although Statsrådet in Finland-Swedish is even narrower, and the Rikssvenska Regeringen is to be put in there somewhere inbetween... ;-)))
-- Ruhrjung 12:51 12 Jun 2003 (UTC)
The British cabinet is made up of senior ministers, usually secretaries of state. They usually run departments. Departments usually comprise several ministries, each with a minister who is not in the cabinet but is in government. Other MPs are also part of the government, parliamentary private secretaries (PPS) are MPs who work for ministers and whips (who enforce party discipline) are also part of the government. I believe in Finland all ministers are in cabinet. I don't think there is a collective term for ministers in the UK. Usually people refer to the cabinet or the government (which, as I say, includes non ministers).--Alun 16:37, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
