Talk:Paul Mauser

message: I looked through this article, and it barely qualifies as a wiki page. Things like this especially:
"Many versions of this design also were licensed to other countries, which also used to build their own versions of the G98. Most famous of those "foreign Mausers" are Persian Mausers, Turkish Mausers, Czech VZ-24 Mausers, Yugoslavian Mausers and some others. The list of the vast variety of the Mauser-type versions could easily cover a number of pages, but, for the sake of compactness, I will describe only the basic, German model."
Make me think it's either a very poorly written original wiki article, or it was copied from a firearms magazine. I think the latter, since it reads like something you'd see in a gun rag.
If it's from a magazine, it needs to be taken down immediately. Either way, a re-write is going to be necesssary. 64.150.152.159 (talk) 17:31, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  This article needs a re-write 

message: I've decided to take it upon myself to fix it, and am in the process of gathering information. Please let me know if anyone else is planning to work on it.
The glaring problem with the article is that only the first couple of sentences are about Paul Mauser, and the remaining article is about Mauser rifles, almost entirely ones developed after Paul Mauser’s death. The bulk of the article needs to be dropped, since there is already a good Wiki article on Mauser rifles. 
Until I can compile enough information for the article, I’ll write this much about the subject, just to set the record straight:
Peter Paul Mauser (his real name, which needs to be changed in the subject) designed both rifles and pistols.  (Wiki “Mauser” for more info about them) The 1871 Mauser rifle was not the first, but was his first major government contract.  Some time after the death of his brother Wilhelm, the Mauser Arms Company became a stock company with Paul only owning about a sixth of the shares.  Paul had no financial control of the company except through his influence as part of the board of directors.  He remained the plant manager and headed research and development, and is responsible for a rather large list of patents for rifle and pistol designs.  He continued as a weapons designer, toward the end experimenting with semi-automatic rifle designs, until his death from heart disease on the eve of WWI.
There is an issue I have not resolved, and hope someone else might be working along the same lines and have the answer.
So far I can not find any sufficient evidence Paul Mauser was ever a "von Mauser." Multiple sources indicate he was born "Peter Paul Mauser" from a working class family, and he most commonly is refered to as "Paul Mauser"; However, a New York Times obituary names him "Dr. Paul von Mauser."  Was the title "von" confered on him during his lifetime? Did he receive a doctorate? From where? for what? I am begining to think the NY Times obituary was in error.
Anyone else working on this?

Talk:Nisa Aşgabat

message: Normally in English we would refer to this team by the name "Nisa Ashgabat", since the Turkic "ş" sounds like and is usually transliterated as "sh".  See, for example, the name of the city Ashgabat.  It appears that this article was originally created (24 October 2006 Calapez) with the name "Nisa Asgabat" without the "h".  I note that geographically Nisa is a subdivision of the city of Ashgabat, and that it is often spelled "Nissa" in English.  Nisa-Ashgabat (with the dash) seems to refer to an archaeological site in Nissa.

Talk:Peter Henlein

message: Someone with a POV rewrote this article adding a lot of hyperbole, WP:OFFTOPIC historical content, and unreliable sources to try to establish that Henlein is the sole inventor of the watch.  The most reliable sources I have read, the Dohrn-van Rossum, Cipolla, and White books cited, say there is no evidence Henlein was the first to make timepieces worn on the body, that there were other clockmakers in Germany making these small clocks, and Henlein just got a lot of attention owing to the Cosmografia quote.  I rewrote the "Life" section, but there is still plenty of WP:PEACOCK language and quotes from peripheral sources in the "Recognition and Commemoration", "Commemoration" and "Influence of Henlein" sections saying that Henlein is the inventor of the watch.  However a lot of these dubious sources are in German, which I can't read.  If someone who reads German could vet the German sources, judging whether they qualify as reliable and if they support the statements in the text, that would be great.  Thanks!  It would be fine if someone else wants to work on this, but if not sooner or later I will get back and rewrite the remaining sections. --ChetvornoTALK 08:15, 9 April 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Philipp Ludwig Statius Müller

message: In Catalogue of the Birds of the British Museum (Vol. 23, p.57 footnote on Aramides cajanea) it is said:
[P.L.S.] Müller wrote this word cajanea, and, as Cassin has shown, this is the oldest name for the species. Even if Müller's work should some day be repudiated by ornithologists on account of his carelessness and his apparent colour-blindness, then the proper  name of the species would be Aramides major (Boddaert), founded on Daubenton's plate.
Not clear if Müller was in fact colorblind, or if (cf. "apparent") the term was used in a colloquial sense signifying a general unreliability of his color descriptions. Dysmorodrepanis (talk) 13:20, 19 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title: Colorblind?

message: Although the accepted wisdom seems to be that the surname is Statius Muller rather than Statius Müller, it looks like that may not be true. Presumably the reasoning for the un-umlated spelling is that the family came from the Netherlands, and Dutch doesn't use the umlaut in spelling. If you go to the German Wikipedia, however, there's a reference[] that starts with a quote supporting the non-umlaut spelling, but then presents others that say the name was Statius in the Netherlands and Müller was added to make it sound more German. And the title page of his best-known work [] uses the umlaut Chuck Entz (talk) 01:02, 2 January 2012 (UTC)
