Talk:Baselard

message: In Levine, Bernard and Weland, Gerald. Knives, Swords, & Daggers.  Barnes & Noble: New York. pg. 100, it states that the swiss dagger is often confused with the schwizerdegen (which is a longer, Swiss short sword), but is not actually the same thing. Does anyone know more about this?Uroscion (talk) 16:59, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

message: I spent ages looking for early occurrences of this name. 
This is highly non-trivial as there are literally dozens of ways to spell it. 
Now for a long time, the earliest attestations I found were firmly within the 1340s (the 1341 one from Nuremberg being the earliest, but from the same decade also French badelare, leaving a rather short window for the supposed corruption from bas- to bad-.
But now I find the 'Mainzer Friedgebot' of 1300 with its beseler.
:wel man zu Meinze inne woninde ist, der rutinge dregit odir swert odir beseler, der sal uz Meinze varin ein vierteil iaris
:"whichever  man has residence within the city of Mainz, and carries a ruting(?swordstick), or a sword, or a beseler, he shall be banished from Mainz for a quarter-year."
now the 1300 edition has beseler, amended to baseler in the 1335 version.
This seems to substantiate the hypothesis that the German name is primary, as it leaves a window of 40 years for the term to enter French usage, and be corrupted to baselard, badelare.
But it makes the association of teh German term with Basel less evident, as the earliest known form is now beseler. --dab (𒁳) 12:00, 6 July 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Breema

message: I am not sure how correct "founded in 1980 in Oakland, CA by Jon Schreiber, D. C., and a group of colleagues" is but it is nevertheless perhaps relevant to mention that Breema (or whatever it may have been called then) was born in a little Kurdish village far away from Kurdistan, in a mountainous area between Iran and Afghanistan. I have nothing else relevant to say on the "origins of Breema" but acknowledging the birthplace of a "system" is in place, I think.
If you can find a good source saying that, it'd be good to put it in:)  The article needs to mention more people that do Breema, rather than being an ad for this one schoolMerkinsmum 15:24, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Calcium-48

message: The calcium-48 article mentions a half-life of 4.3 × 1019 years. Because no uncertainty is specified, that would implicitly mean (4.3 ± 0.1) × 1019 years. The cited source (Balysh et al.) gives a much larger uncertainty of (4.3 (+2.4 −1.1 stat.) (± 1.4 syst.)) × 1019 years. It would appear that the source has been grossly misquoted. 
The article on isotopes of calcium gives a half-life of (5.3 ± 1.7) × 1016 years.
In short, this is a mess. I'll correct as soon as I can find a reliable source.

message: This entry states that "the only radioactive decay pathway open to it is the extremely rare process of double beta decay." However, the isotope table in the main calcium entry lists single beta decay as a possible (but not yet observed) decay pathway.

replies: text: The single beta decay of 48Ca is fourth-forbidden and has a low Q-value of about 0.15 MeV, and is hence slowed down by a factor of about 1019 (here is a nice discussion of this). So yes it is possible, but in practice it is so hindered that double beta decay is actually faster; the same thing happens for 96Zr. You are nevertheless correct and I will update the article accordingly. Double sharp (talk) 04:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)

Talk:United States Coast Guard Cutter

message: I have edited the definition of "Cutter" to match the official definition as given in USCG regulations M5000.3B .  There is no length restriction stated in the definition and the 65 foot stipulation is in fact not part of the official definition.  The U. S. Coast Guard operates several vessels that are over 65 feet in length that are not designated as “Cutters”.  Currently there are no commissioned cutters that are under 65 feet, however there have been in the past.  The 65 foot stipulation is a common misrepresentation of the official definition and can be found on Coast Guard web pages and training material, it is nonetheless incorrect. BFAyer
*While the definition cited above is the "regulations" definition, the common defintion should also be listed in the article as there are a lot more citations to the 65 foot definition than to the regulation definition.  Right off the main web site (http://www.uscg.mil) click on About Us and click on Aircrafts, Boats and Cutters and lo and behold, it says 65 foot.  The regulations  are simply being overridden by usage.  As per Wikipedia guidelines, the 65 foot definition is actually better because there are many more sources for it than the "regulations" definition --- Safemariner 01:34, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

message: "This non-traditional shield breaks with centuries of historic shield design by allowing both hands to effectively aim and operate a weapon in conjunction with the shield. All ancient and traditional modern shields require one arm/hand to be exclusively utilized for shield support/positioning, and the other hand available to hold a weapon. The Baker Batshield® enables both the users' hands to operate a weapon (long-gun or handgun) with normal center-line firing technique, while the support hand is able to protectively position the shield."
This entire section is basically false, and also sounds like something from a marketing pamphlet, indeed the whole "Modern day ballistic shields" section sounds like marketing, but this section specifically.
Shields which allow two handed use of a weapon (or use of two weapons) have been commonplace throughout history, such as the shields used by "Macedonion" phalagites, Thracian peltarions, jacobite buckler and bollock dagger (etc.)
