thread_title:  Freedom Towns 

message: Might I suggest that this section be removed completely since, as stated, the accusations were fully refuted and the photographs proven to be staged. The contents therefore have no basis in fact. Further, the comment about the soldier who was found guilty does not make clear whether he/she was a member of the Lancashire Regiment or not. I wonder about objectivity and relevance, and whether this section does not contravene Wikipedia rules on 'hoaxing'.
This is my first talk, I trust I have stayed within guidelines.

What is meant by the claim that the "Royal Gibraltar Regiment is still to sign up to the Armed Forces Act 2011 to bring it in line with British Armed Forces". The RGR does not have to "sign up" to legislation, it is automatically bound by it, surely.

Talk:Atmospheric diffraction

message: i have this on my list to work on. i am an expert in this field, especially acoustics and radio waves in atmospheric refraction...hope to get some help from an expert in optical refraction Anlace 18:46, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

message: In the section about radio propagation, this article uses the term diffraction repeatedly, but the phenomenon described seems to be refraction, not diffraction. Nearly all other articles and sources cite refraction as the mechanism. The ionosphere bends radio waves because its refractive index is different from that of normal air. DIFFRACTION occurs only when a wave passes through a hole or slot, or between two objects, or when passing a sharp edge such as a building or mountain ridge. I have some knowledge on the topic, perhaps not expert level. My understanding is that diffraction applies to ground waves, but the mechanism for skywaves and ionosphere is refraction,  not diffraction. 
Does anyone else agree that the use of "diffraction" is wrong term to use in this case? If so, the section should be changed to remove any mention of skywaves/ionospheric bending. Groundwaves might be mentioned as being due to diffraction, but the effect is not due to atmospheric diffraction necessarily, so perhaps does not belong here either.

In the lineage table the 22nd Lancashire Rifle Volunteer corps that became 6th Volunteer Battalion, The Manchester Regiment is is given as raised in 1860. That however was another 22nd Lancs. RVC.

There is no mention of such an episode in contemporary sources. (It is not even certain that French troops actually wore white plumes in 1778).
It is probably best that this explanation of the 5th Northumberland's 'white feather' should be classed as a tradition, along with other similar regimental cap distinctions (e.g. 35th R Sussex, 42nd R.Hldrs,  46th, S. Devons, etc.).
