Talk:Canadian units

message: Gave this article a start.  Needs a lot more work.  There didn't seem to be anywhere where we could find all the canadian measures, as well as the french names.  It would be nice to have the history if anyone had any information.  The ones for land in quebec are not considered "canadian measurements" by the weights and measures act.  So I left them out.  That should be its own article maybe.
US equivalents are worked out using 1.201, and rounded off to the nearest unit to reflect the significant digits in this number.  For example, minums are not used in the gallon conversion since a minum is less than .001 gallons.
It is not a mistake that it says that quart in french is "pinte".  That is just how it is.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alexwebjitsu (talk • contribs) 23:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've redone the US equivalents using .  Thus we are now using exact conversion factors with conversions rounded to four significant figures after the conversion (as opposed to the use of a four-significant-figure conversion factor from the onset, something which can lead to error).  I've also changed the conversions from strings of units (e.g. 1 quart 6 ounces 3 drams and 27 minums) to single units (e.g. 38.43 US fl oz).  I believe the latter better reflects modern usage so will make more sense to a general twenty-first century audience. Jɪmp 07:40, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Article start

message: Is there a good reason for using a giant table to fill out the entire article? Using tables for laying out entire pages (as opposed to genuinely tabular information) goes against every web/html manual of style (though not specifically wikiedpia's, which doesn't, afaik, say anything either way on the issue). It seems to me that the huge amount of horizontal white space created by having it all in one table actually works to make the page much harder to read. Can someone give me a good reason not to edit the page to split the table up? I also think it would be helpful to create headers within the page, much like almost every single other well-developed page on weights and measures has. Rhialto (talk) 16:19, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: That's a distinct improvement. Some of the tables still seem to be oddly stretched horizontally though. I think it's teh width=xx% tags in the table that are causing that issue. Rhialto (talk) 18:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Delete 'em if you think it would look better without.  I'd stuck them in there so as to keep each table aligned with the next, e.g., the French name column of the area table is directly below the French name column of the length table.  Jɪmp 19:25, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Iraqforce

message: I see that 17 & 24 Indian Bdes arrivals have been added to the Iraq section. Either they should be removed (because they arrived after the end of hostilities) or the arrival of 8th Ind Div HQ recorded on 17 July (which took command of 17 + 24 Bdes and also 18 Ind Bde which arrived 26 July and then 19 Ind Bde in August which replaced 24 Bde in 8 Ind Div etc)....it all gets rather confusing - I think we should just remove the 2 brigades from the Iraq section. Stephen Kirrage talk - contribs 12:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Later arrivals in Iraq 

message: I'm very suspicious of the usage here. In the British usage the name Iraq Command would normally imply a GHQ reporting direct to the War Office in London. This was not the case (HQ Iraq was always being bounced between Middle East Command (GHQ Cairo) and GHQ India). It was not until Persia and Iraq Command was formed in 1942 did it truly become a Command reporting to the War Office in London. I find no mention of Iraq Command in the official histories of Playfair or Mackenzie , although arguing against myself it does specifically talk about Cyrenaica Command, which I believe came under GHQ Cairo. My Dad was with 8th Indian Div in Iraq and only ever referred to Iraqforce and Paiforce. Are there any more citations on this? Stephen Kirrage talk - contribs 18:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Arctic Aircraft Arctic Tern

message: I'm Bill Diehl's grandson. the dates the arctic turn was produced must be inaccurate as i was born in 1985 and recall spending many days in the back of the hangar from 85 through around 93 and there were definitely aircraft being build. during that time my step-father also worked for the company. He also abought one of the planes that he and my grandfather built. the plane was not built prior to 1985 that i am sure of but the exact date i dont recall. most likely around 1989-90.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.164.167.153 (talk) 10:16, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Jane's All The World's Aircraft 1976–77 has an entry on the "Arctic Aircraft Company", producing the "Arctic Aircraft Arctic Tern", which is stated as a version of the Interstate S1B2. The 1993–94 Jane's says that no new Terns produced since 1990, with the company hoping to restart production in 1994 (although Arctic were building S-4 Privateers, a four seat version of the Tern). It is possible that production may have stopped and started prior to that.Nigel Ish (talk) 18:28, 12 May 2011 (UTC)
Talk:Jan Coene

message: Actually, this page is the translation of one contribution on the Jan Coene's french page . More precisely, it's a translation only about the best part of Jan Coene's career, probably made by Jan Coene himself or a close assistant of him. You can see that it's more a self-satisfied history than a real encyclopedic article, which shouldn't stay like that. As a proof, this contribution was made on the french page by a IP address (217.167.228.21) linked to SIVECO GROUP. Jan Coene is the current SIVECO's Chairman of the board... 
This page almost doesn't say a word about the "Picanol affair", despite it's very famous in Belgium. It's even probably the only reason why Jan Coene is so famous in Belgium. If you search for "Jan Coene" on Google, you'll find mostly articles (in Flemish or French) talking about the Coene's scandal, which occurred when the press revealed Jan Coene's incomes from Picanol. The affair was even politic, as, after the events, the belgium parliament and senate talked about a "Picanol law", made to force big companies to be more transparent about management's incomes.--89.159.20.227 23:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Walter Blume (aircraft designer)

message: I feel that this article could be expanded by adddressing the following:
* Coverage: add more information on early life (e.g. schooling) if it can be found, also more information on later life;
* Introduction: expand the introductory section to sum up the entire article and life of the subject;
* Infobox: possibly put the image inside the infobox to clean up the formatting;
* Citations: the last sentence needs a citation;
* Format: try to format the bare links in the citations using the  format to provide more details; also consolidate the refs that are the same using WP:NAMEDREFS
* Clean up the References section, adding  format to the books and remove the bare external link altogether as it is already included in the citations.
* Abbreviations: there is some inconsistency e.g WWII and WW2; however, I'd suggest not using the abbreviation at all and either saying World War II or World War 2;
* Date linking: as per Wikipedia:Linking#Month-day linking dates should rarely be linked.
Hope this helps. Cheers. — AustralianRupert (talk) 01:17, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

message: JAWA 74 p.181 gives details of the Swedish aircraft with slightly smaller dimensions than the Crosby, e.g. a 5.34 m span. The lower span is 5.14 m.  MTOW was also lower at 375 kg, and so on. Simpson gives the same numbers, though without mentioning the unequal span. It's not clear if these differences were only relevant to the MFI built prototype SE-XBS, later G-AWPZ, or included all plan built examples.

replies: text: Actually, this is commonplace for U.S. aircraft engines; the manufacturer had its own designation scheme, while the U.S. military had another. Jacobs originally called this engine the L-4. The U.S. military designated aircraft engines based on their layout and displacement: in this case, R stood for "radial", and "755" was the displacement in cubic inches (to the next lower multiple of 5). With so many engines made for the military during World War II, some manufacturers eventually changed their own designation schemes to better match the military one. --Colin Douglas Howell (talk) 22:39, 24 November 2018 (UTC)
