Talk:38th (Welsh) Infantry Division

thread_title: Untitled

message: Hi.  Was reading:
The 53rd (Welsh) Division provided officers and men, but little equipment, for the new 38th (Welsh) Division. The 2nd Line Welsh territorial division had not seen service overseas during the First World War, so that the 38th Division had a much more prestigious record.
Does the second sentence refer to the 53rd Division?  The article on the 53rd said they were at Gallipoli and in the Middle East, which are definitely overseas. I think I will change this to 'had not seen service in France', as that seems to cover it. Stevebritgimp (talk) 01:08, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

If not, can it be changed to Welch.

replies: text: You mean the MV Derrycunihy? Yes, the 43rd Reconnaissance Regiment, Royal Armoured Corps was the battalion-sized recce (= recon for the USA) unit for the 43rd Division. The naming of UK recce units changed several times during the course of the war. The unit was formed in October 1941 as the 48th Battalion, Reconnaissance Corps (by conversion of the 5th Battalion, The Gloucestershire Regiment) and served as the recce unit for the 48th (South Midland) Division for about a month.  The unit was transferred to the 43rd Division on 20 November and, in February 1942, was renamed as the 43rd Battalion. On 6 June 1942, the unit was renamed 43rd Regiment, Reconnaissance Corps - Regiment being the british term for a battalion-sized unit of Cavalry or Artillery (and now, Engineers, Logistics, Signals, Helicopters); I presume it was decided that, as recce, it was mechanized cavalry and thus should share the same nomenclature, with the Companies becoming Squadrons and the Platoons becoming Troops. On 1 January 1944, the Reconnaissance Corps was absorbed by the Royal Armoured Corps.Glevum (talk) 19:17, 13 July 2012 (UTC)

On 1 Jan 1944, Recce Corps absorbed by RAC, making this change, the OOB covers a wider range of dates: 1 Jan 1944-27 Dec 1944 and 11 Jun 1945-31 Aug 1945 (based on infantry, mg unit, recce, artillery and engineers - I don't have info on supply units and signals, which might restrict dates further).

It has been mentioned in a few places that she was actually younger than Milo O'Shea, who played her son in Me Mammy, and who was born in 1926.

thread_title: Untitled

message: A better translation for this (esp. in context of religion) is "to every man his due" or "to everyone their due". The meaning being, if you are evil you get your just desserts etc. "to each his own" really means "do your own thing" (not very in keeping with the Catholic Church). This is explored further in Leonardo Sciascia's A Ciascuno Il Suo (here it means, "to each mafia informer a horrible death") which I studied years ago but I can't find the references. Can someone verify & edit? Thanks. Ryancolm 11:35, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Genocide denial

message: The article is generally correct, but needs subtle corrections. E.g.
A. Mention more clearly that the "official" paper of Holy See is Acta Apostolicae Sedis.
There is no mention of Acta Apostolicae Sedis  now. 
B. The only official Holy See statements are under the titles "Nostre Informazioni" and "Santa Sede".
In practice these days only "Nostre Informazioni" is used.
C. Not clear what "semi-official" means.
D. The clarification about brain death is useful, but too far at end.
In practice, most items in the Osservatore are not the opinions of the Holy See.
About item B, if you do Google Book search for "Nostre Informazioni" and "Osservatore Romano" will get
books that say that.
Please correct these, or I will, sooner or later.  Sempre SPQR (talk) 12:09, 31 August 2018 (UTC)

Talk:The Cavalier Daily

message: The newspaper infobox is totally non-compliant Wikipedia code -- it's written in HTML, rather than standard Wiki markup.  I took the time to mark it up properly, which somebody undid two days later, with the comment "People read the article, not the coding. That old box seems to look a lot better than the June 10th revision."  If somebody has a problem with the look of Wikipedia, perhaps it would be best to take that up through proper channels, rather than hacking together an HTML-based workaround.
Unless somebody provides a decent reason for why the Cav Daily's entry should not adhere to Wikipedia standards, I'm going to fix the infobox again.

text: Were they originally on the CD website? I used the CD's search function to find all the old articles that were used as references by searching on titles. By now Google has probably indexed the new site, so searching Google with "article title" site:cavalierdaily.com should do it. If they're older than that, there is a digital version of the CD from 1968 to 1972 at the UVA library. It has a highly buggy search engine, so you have to be patient and able to hack XML to get the files out, but a lot of the content is there. They have plans to digitize more back issues, but not this year. Tjarrett (talk) 01:39, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Cheroot

message: Cheroots, (pronounced: shroots with a soft t) are at present commonly sold all over Myanmar, at convenience stores and locations where they are hand rolled as a local business. Various sizes are made by or are available to local people. Small and thin is the size commonly sold across the counter in shops and markets. It is a light smoke similar to a small cigar. Most people do not inhale them smoke. At present they seem to be commercially unavailable outside of Myanmar.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 1.249.121.254 (talk) 06:25, 10 February 2015 (UTC)

message: So what is a Cheroot? Is it a plant? Another name for tobacco? There is a photo of a cheroot leaf from Burma, and since tobacco was discovered by Europeans in the Americas, it must not be tobacco, since trading with the middle and far east was going on before Americas discovery.
Why all the reference to stogies and conastoga wagons, since they are traditional cigars with round uncut ends made of tobacco.
If cheroot is a plant, why isn't there a description of the plant? Does it have nicotine? Or is cheroot a name for a smallish rolled tobacco cigar?
A cigar made from cheroot?

Talk:Clarence Holiday

message: Clarence Holliday was a solid, driving rhythm guitarist. He can be heard to best advantage on Fletcher Henderson's 1930 to 1934 recordings. To put him in perspective, you might compare his work with that of Freddy Green in the Count Basie Band. The Count's rhythm section is generally considdered the best, but Fletcher's compares very favorably thanks to Clarence.
The Billie Holiday page says he died in WWI, yet his page says he died in 1937 - which is correct?
----
Another discrepancy between this page and Billie Holiday's page: This page states that Clarence Holiday never married Billie's mother, yet Billie Holiday's page says that her parents married when she was three.
