Talk:List of World War II weapons of the United States

message: The US did not field Sten SMGs or Bren LMGs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.129.66.30 (talk) 15:11, 30 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: Sten & Bren

message: The lewis gun is a great-war era weapon. Even American forces in WW1 did not use lewis guns to my knowledge. They used 30.06 Chauchats which were awful because of the re-chambering. And they used 1918 BARs. As far as I know, the only fielded american LMGs are the BAR, Johnson LMG(both versions), the 1919a6, and the stinger.
It is also important to note that the lewis gun is not an american design. And the chances that American was using an imported obsolete and retired weapon is very slim considering the lend-lease thing and the fact that America was a logistical and industrial powerhouse at the time. Also they sold Thompson SMGs to the British.
It is possible that some units in need of upgrades such as the USMC might have had to fight battles early in the war with lewis guns. But that still is fairly unlikely. There is also no such field manual for the lewis gun that was issued in WWII. This site has a list of field manuals(the blank ones are restricted) but the lewis gun does not appear. It would most likely have a field manual if it was used by the U.S. because of how old it is, but none are listed for it.
Also, the stinger should be added. It is definitely a cool weapon deserving of recognition.

Talk:The Choirboys (novel)

message: Is it really Spencer Van Moot who has the Ferrari? I seem to remember that Sam Niles, swims out to the island in the duck pond to bring back his partner, Harold Bloomguard and then breaks into the gardening shed to hose his partner free of the slimy green duck defecation. This act explained by Sam telling Harold that he doesn't want to get the duck excretement in his Ferrari, a statement rebuffed with Harold saying "I helped you with the downpayment."

Talk:Giovanni delle Bande Nere

message: I regard the statement that the condottieri's "mode of fighting (which emphasized armored knights on horseback) was rendered practically obsolete by the introduction of the mobile field cannon" as inaccurate.

Template talk:John Carpenter

message: Carpenter's pre-Dark Star work is composed of short films; since they are not "Feature films" (i.e. feature-length films), I moved them to their own section.  However, I'm not sure how available they are (or even if they still exist?).  There might not be enough written about them to justify even stubs for each one of them.  Perhaps there should only be a single article on Carpenter's short films, or maybe they should only be covered in the article on him.  Should they be included in the template?  Perhaps movies on which he was a writer or producer but not the director might be more useful to include? Шизомби 23:46, 25 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I struggled a bit with this template because it assumes by non-inclusion that it is only for directorial efforts (btw, I was not aware that the early films were shorts, as they are not listed that way on IMDB, thanks for breaking them into a separate section). If they cannot be stubbed, they should probably be removed. The problem as I see it is one of categorizing: how do we decide what to include? He writes, produces and composes; they can all have their own categories in the template, but then it would become massive, and would have to list many films multiple times--that would be unwieldy. Or we could list all the films he has had a hand in--that would also be very large, uncategorized and indiscriminate, or we could have sections for each category of effort and only include notable films but then what criteria do we use for notability and wouldn't that be inevitably seen as POV? I'm open to anything frankly.--Fuhghettaboutit 00:59, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Not sure about the other sections, I was just putting it out there as an idea.  I don't know how significant Carpenter's role as a writer or producer is.

: "The English translation, only published as part of the once off comic book annual Asterix Annual 1980,[7] was based on the dialogue of the English version of the film and was titled Asterix Conquers Rome."
Are we absolutely sure of that? I have a distinct recollection of reading a book called "the twelve tasks of Asterix" that I got out of the library as a child, in a similar format to the other books.

Talk:Noel Gay

message: There is no explanation at all regarding the use of the Noel Gay name rather than the Armitage name (was it an Equity type situation where there was already a Richard Armitage registered, or what?). But - and this is worse - it seems inconceivable to me that he chose to use the Gay name in order NOT to embarrass the church authorities, which is what the present entry says. I'm not commenting on his sexuality, merely on a very bizarre entry which if true deserves a little more elucidation. Alas, I cannot provide it and so I'm afraid that this is not very constructive criticism on my part, sorry. Sitush (talk) 23:26, 10 June 2009 (UTC)
