Talk:Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator

message: The text claims that 
:"Weapon types are identical as far as war is concerned, regardless of their price: so the 1M USD T-62 Main Battle Tank from the private dealer is exactly the same as the 2M USD M1A1 Main Battle Tank from the USA."
As far as I can see the price of th T-62 Main Battle Tank from the private dealer is 2M USD, not 1M USD as stated in the article. Does anybody else have similar experience or experience as in the article? Perhaps matter of different versions. I am refering to the abandonware version for PC.
The "light tanks" do in fact cost 1M USD. How these compare in battle to the 2M tanks is unclear to me. --212.242.146.114 13:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Not entirely hopeless. I actually played one game where Lebanon was really jammy. Syria was already at war with 2 countries (or it might even have been 3) and Lebanon put troops on the border and used its single brigade to conquer the whole of Syria! Very funny. Even more funny was that it actually ended up being Israel's sole surviving opponent. BillMasen (talk) 09:10, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I realized that Lebanon has a fighting chance when I played the game a couple of weeks back. I was busy with two wars against Egypt and Jordan (or was it Syria?) when Lebanon decided to declare war on Israel. Naturally, I posted a brigade on the Lebanese border, but on the next turn, it was Game Over, as Lebanon just kicked me out of the game. - Areaseven (talk) 05:17, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Talk:Fifth Crusade

message: Just because a certain historian or the remarks of a supposed historian mentioned the great participation of the Frisian contengent in these battles, should not be disregared!  It seems Dutch/Frisian history has taken it as "gospel", and as such why should not we all?  Can anyone offer a better explanation for the Dutch/Frisian view of this event?
It seems that there must not exist too much information period, to classify this event with any authority, especially the dates and the participants, there in involved!  Remember that supposed sources for this crusade, and those that followed it, are "sparce" at the best!69.92.23.64 (talk)Ronald L. Hughes  —Preceding undated comment added 22:54, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: We had a lengthy discussion about the Frisians somewhere before, which led to an article about Frisian participation in the Crusades (or maybe that article came first and the discussion followed it). I'm not sure what you are referring to though because the Dutch and Frisians do not seem to be especially singled out in this article. There were certainly many countries involved, and actually the sources are not sparse, compared to other crusades (the Second Crusade for example). Do you have a more specific complaint?

message: Hello all,
I would be glad if someone could provide further information on Oliver of Cologne as leader (!) of some northwestern German contingents at Damietta. As far as I know the Historia Damiatina and the Gesta crucigerorum Rhenanorum, these pilgrims/soldiers were recruited, but not led by him. He surely was one of the leading clerics, but military command was in diffderent hands (e.g. the counts of Berg, Holland, and Wied).

message: Approx half of this article seems to be about just one of Machtan's books - "The Hidden Hitler". This book already has a Wikipedia article unto itself. This article is supposed to be about Lothar Machtan.
As regards Machtan's scholarship and the "The Hidden Hitler", most of the other historians whose remarks I've come across indicate that Machtan's book, while interesting, indulges in too much speculation and thus his assertion (a gay Hitler) is not proved.

thread_title:  Name Dropping 

message: The big muff was used by Jimi Hendrix right before he died.  The creator of the big muff apparently let him try it out before it was released, and Jimi liked it so much that he planned to make another album using the pedal.  Unfortunately he died before it could be done.  So yes, Jimi Hendrix did use the pedal once, although he never got to record with it.
Also, the creator of the big muff (sorry his name escapes me at the moment) made the pedal trying to get that Jimi Hendrix tone.  So Jimi was integral in the creation of the muff, even though people think he never used it.
Added information about Jimi using the big muff prototype.

(compare with the guitar industry, with Standard Fenders being made in Mexico and Squiers being made in east Asia) Or is there a real difference? (which would explain the bassist preference)

Talk:Midlothian (UK Parliament constituency, 1708–1918)

message: Excuse me, but what does "anglified" mean?  At the very least, it doesn't mean "anglicized" which means "made to fit with the English language," since "Midlothian" is an English word, too.  If we mean "made to sound more like English county names," then sure.  But I don't feel like that's self-evident, and I feel like the word "anglified" suggests the English language, rather than England, in the context of a name.  Which is confusing. john k 17:42, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Extreme skiing

message: I edited this page to reflect the development of extreme skiing in the late 1960's through the 70's and early 80's.  Skiers on the American side of the pond are mostly unaware of the history. The first widely-seen extreme skiing films in the U.S. were filmed by Americans in the late 80's.  I grew up in Geneva (1957 to 1986) and skied for years in the Chamonix valley where many of the first extreme skiers lived and trained. Several of them, like Valencant (RIP), were Chamoniard mountain guides; some of the best alpinists in the world.  Those guys deserve due credit.  This information is the best of my recollection from that period. I am not and was not an extreme skier; mostly just an awestruck spectator skiing during awesome times.  Monoskis, and the "Raid" style of mountain climbing were other developments centered in Chamonix during that era.  If you have documentation, refinements, pix, etc. please let's all develop the page together, nailing down the details.
Note: One commentator stated that 45 degrees is not all that steep.  It all depends.  A short wide slope of 45 degrees with no dangerous rocks or crevasses and a long run-out is not extreme.  A run of several hundred meters on hard pack snow descending through a narrow 'couloir,' or gulley, where you can barely turn, that in turn leads to a snow bridge (called a 'rimée' in French) over a glacier's 20-meter deep head-end crevasse can be deadly.  Been there, done that (in 1979, decided right then and there to never do it again.  Very scary.)  I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just saying that it's really dependent on the conditions.  If you fall on a 45-degree slope, on hardpack, you're unlikely to stop.  Someone also claimed 65 degrees.  I've only heard of 60 degrees, so I put 60+.  Do you have any details on that 65 degree run?
