Talk:Anna Christie (1930 German-language film)

message: Why do we disambiguate it as a 1931 film if it was premiered in December 1930 and therefore must have been made no later than 1930?  --  Jack of Oz [your turn] 11:24, 11 January 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: It was originally described as being released in 1931, apparently based on older content in the Greta Garbo article. This was changed when the Garbo article itself was changed, based on reliable biographical sources, but it can't be disambiguated as "1930 film" because that's the title of the article on the English-language version. "German film" is possible, but not technically accurate – it's a German-language U.S. film, which is ridiculously long for a parenthetical disambiguator. I half-intended to switch it to "German version", which corresponds to the name on de:Wikipedia, but never got around to it. Any alternative suggestions? Fat&Happy (talk) 16:29, 11 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the start at identifying this (which is necessary if it's to be included), but I still don't understand the meanings of:
*as a society we are sometimes grouped and categorized by hard-edge lines, but fundamentally we are very much the same (let's call this [A])
*Contour here lies in the fact that [A]
*Lingual complexities (let's call this [B])
*a universal knowledge (let's call this [C])
*[B] give way to [C] hidden away in the fabric of his work.
*Whether what follows the first sentence is (a) what Coffelt thinks about Colvin's work or (b) what Coffelt thinks that Colvin claims about Colvin's work. (If (a), why the first sentence? If (b), why not quote Colvin directly?)
Other people may well understand this better than I do, but I have trouble believing that anybody finds it very lucid. If people don't find it lucid, I don't understand why it's worth quoting. But I'm willing to be persuaded. -- Hoary 02:26, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Did the BV 141 ever see any operational use, even as an evaluation aircraft?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Antarctica moon (talk • contribs) 20:43, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As a small piece of anecdotal evidence, my father claimed to have seen this type of aircraft while he was with the Durham Light Infantry, in Sicily, during 1943. The plane he observed must have been flying at fairly low altitude, because he was able to identify the German markings and also noted the very unusual assymetrical layout. I recall him occasionally mentioning this 'mystery' plane, during my youth but, since his own knowledge of aircraft was quite limited, he had no idea of the make or type. The 'mystery' was eventually resolved in the 1960's when I showed him some photographs of the BV 141.Norloch (talk) 11:55, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Well this actually does not resolve the "mystery". Nothing is known about operational use (except one Staffel that was briefly intended to be deployed on Eastern Front, but had not (Rys)), so this "testimony" is in fact kind-of-valuable data for historians. Btw, yes the aircraft was evaluated. For example V5 dropped in total 58 bombs on 13 flights (of close air support trials (Rys)). --Kubanczyk (talk) 14:40, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
