Talk:Die Freien

message: I believe that Arnold Ruge was not really part of "die freien", and that the picture of Engels show a meeting(I think on 1842) with Arnold Ruge and "die freien" (leaded by Bruno Bauer) in Hippel(a wine bar on Friedrichstrasse). During this meeting, Arnold Ruge make an offer to Bruno Bauer. The offer was to create a free university in order to teach and diffuse the ideas of left hegelianism.
Maybe this information(s) could be interesting for the article.
I precise that i'm not american, I'm french and the english is not my "maternal" language, so i'm sorry for the errors of language.
I precise too that I have made the french article of wikipedia about "die freien"

replies: text: . Having researched this topic further, yes you are right. I thought the Eastern Catholic Churches had more autonomy than they actually do. The Maronite Church has autonomy in selecting its own Bishops only in its traditional territory (Lebanon etc); outside of its traditional territory, Rome chooses for it. That's why the Maronite Church in Australia is immediately subject to the Holy See, instead of being subject to the Maronite Patriarch in Lebanon. SJK (talk) 08:24, 28 July 2020 (UTC)

Talk:The Folk of the Fringe

message: Hi. I notice a lot of improvements have been made to this article. However, I question the decision to create separate articles for each of the short stories in the collection ("West," "Salvage," etc.).  Each article is just a short stub and, in my opinion, at risk for nomination for deletion.  My recommendation would be to develop sections in this article on each story and only spin off a separate article when there is enough material to support an article that is longer than a stub. Until then, the articles on the short stories could be changed to redirects to this article on the collection. BRMo 13:50, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:William Sooy Smith

message: The historical marker claims Smith was promoted to Major General for the Vicksburg campaign.

Of course it probably won't be possible to find a reference explicitly saying he wasn't promoted. --Huon 22:04, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: No one commented on this, and I haven't looked, but I can assure anyone that rank during this time can be confusing. A captain in the regular army could assemble his own troops (volunteers) and while still holding the rank of Captain (regular army) could be receive a brevet promotion to a rank entitled to command. This promotion would give the person all the rights and pay of the rank for a temporary period. Brevet ranks could also "awarded" for gallantry or meritorious service. I will look at this but this certainly seems likely. In a way such a promotion would be like a field promotion that also expires (without intervention) at a certain time. Otr500 (talk) 18:06, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

text: From what I have found; Smith graduated West Point in 1853. He left the army in 1854 and was when the Civil War started he offered his services and was appointed lieutenant-colonel of the Ohio volunteers. Smith was was commissioned (not Brevetted) colonel of the 13th Ohio infantry (regular army) on June 26, 1861. He became (was appointed) brigadier-general of volunteers, April 15, 1862, when he joined the forces under Grant. I can not find anywhere that he held a rank above this. He signed  correspondence as "Brig. Gen., Chief of Cavalry, Mil. Div. of the Mississippi" on Feb. 04, 1864. Smith assumed this command when given charge of the cavalry by Sherman. He was later appointed as the Chief of Calvary of the Department of the Tennessee (redirected to Army of the Tennessee), that is actually incorrectly redirected. There is also some confusion, or misinformation, that Smith left the military (words used such as subsequently etc...) because of the defeat in Mississippi. This, as records show, is incorrect because he left because of health reasons. Otr500 (talk) 17:52, 4 July 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyvio

message: Just an FYI that the breed articles for horses by and large consider types and breed names of horses to be proper names and hence, capitalized.  I know there is also controversy over these capitalization protocols in dog breeds, horse breeds and everything else (is it a German Shepherd or a German shepherd?  Is it a Standard Poodle or a standard poodle?)  But until that particular spat is settled, if ever, the consensus of WPEQ is that the "breed" names are capitalized.  The other open question is if the Tarpan can/should be lower case because it is a subspecies (equus ferus ferus) instead of a breed.  But the bottom line is that in this context, it is being treated as a horse breed, hence like all the other horse breeds, the name is capitalized.  I will also concede that the Tarpan article itself is inconsistent, about 75% caps and 25% not caps...sigh.  Not a moral issue to me, just letting you know what's up. The big debate on this was when Thoroughbred went FA and I think it is kind of a settled issue for now. Montanabw(talk) 20:29, 15 May 2009 (UTC)
