thread_title:  Continental Blockade Re-direct Proposal 

message: From my schoolbooks, I can vaguely remember Napoleon's own brother (King of Holland) also cooperating with the smuggling, and Napoleon giving Louis some nickname for that. (in Dutch: "Grote Sluiker", which translates roughly as "Big Sneaker"). Probably NL, as a trading nation, was hit more than average by the CS.
I did not think that information on the effects of the system fit under "Failure of the System" so I made a effects of the system header. Hope you guys don't mind.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.244.178.254 (talk) 23:11, 15 April 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Heligoland

message: This section:
British merchants smuggled in many goods and the Continental System was not a powerful weapon of economic war.[2] There was some damage to Britain's trade, especially in 1808 and 1811, but its control of the oceans helped mitigate the effects
Seems to contradict this sentence:
The System had a significant effect on British trade, with British exports falling between 25% to 55% compared to pre-1806 levels

message: Please explain what the copyright violation is. There is no copying word for word from the Berkshire History website the facts given there have been completely rewoven into a new presentation and combined with data from the other sources quoted.
If this use is this is judged to be a copyright violation please be more specific, and I would be happy to edited it to an acceptible form, since I argue the article has merit for WP and has certainly not been copied from this source.
In any case the ultimate source of The Berkshire History website page is an out of copyright version of the DNB which I am prepared to directly extract material from and reference it if necessary. The Berkshire History website merely provides a more convenient location for everyone to check some facts.

Wikipedia talk:Requests for arbitration/Reddi 2/Proposed decision

message: I don't think the finding that "Users need to be reasonably competent with respect to the subjects of the articles they choose to edit" is a good one. For instance, it's perfectly reasonable to copyedit and refactor articles on subjects about which you know little. Of course, you wouldn't expect an editor to make large additions of factual information on an article about which they know little, but on the other hand there are many useful contributions such an editor could make to certain articles, jguk 23:13, 1 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Marshall Independent School District

message: It would be interesting to see some history of Sam Houston Elementary School on East Houston Street. I went there for 1st - 6th grade in 1971-76, and I still have fond memories of the place. I remember the nuclear fallout shelter signs in the basement, for instance. As a kid, I lived 3 houses down from the school, and told myself that I'd run to the school when/if The Bomb was dropped on Marshall.
A teacher told me it was built in 1901 - is that true?. Why was it painted PINK?! I haven't been around there in many years - what is happening with it now?

This is one of several articles I've seen recently dubiously attributing Norfolk places to Suffolk. See for example the article on the River Yare, which I'm pretty sure never encounters Suffolk.

Talk:United States Army Ordnance Corps

message: I don't have the dates, but I know that an investigation was launched after the M16 stirred up enough controversy to catch Congress' attention. The actions Ordnance Corp took was described as "criminally negligent" and "borderline treason."
For added context, Ordnance Corp was in charge of overseeing the adoption of the M16, but did not like the M16. So, they issued the rifle without cleaning kits, rushed it into service without proper durability testing, and swapped the approved gunpowder to surplus powder from WW2.
The justification for all this was to make the M14 look better, which was designed by Ordnance Corp.
Since then, the US Military as an industry has been effectively banned from developing its own equipment, as having to choose between "in shop" vs "out shop" options leads to an inevitable conflict of interest. 
SmallArmsSolutions made an excellent series of videos on the M14 and M16 in Vietnam and points to several reputable sources. He is also a firearms historian formerly employed by Colt. 2600:8807:874A:5800:9757:FA12:9BCB:1440 (talk) 06:35, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
