Talk:Alfred H. Thiessen

message: How come that the date of death is unknown? (Apparently, not even the approximate year of his death). Did he disappear into the woods somewhere, and was never heard of again? If the date of his retirement is known, April 30, 1942, I presume that this is also the earliest possible date of his death, in case he died in the evening of his retirement day. But if we don't know when he died, how do we know that he died? True, if he was still alive today, he would be the oldest known man of the world, at an age of 136 years. Highly improbably, if not impossible. But where exactly is the borderline between improbable and impossible?--Ratzer (talk) 08:23, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ratzer, that is a good question, and no doubt Alfred Thiessen is dead. The date of death is not included because it was not available in sources that I could find. If you could find and add that information, it would be welcome.MTheisen (talk) 22:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Talk:François Christophe de Kellermann

message: Can any of you folks elaborate as to the statement that François de Kellermann took part in 
"Louis XV's Polish expedition of 1771"?
While France is known to have sent two prolific expeditions in the 18th century, the view I have mainly encountered is that their purpose was to measure whether Earth had a wider circumference around the equator or vertically (around the poles, so to speak.) These expeditions occurred prior to 1771. 
So is this 1771 expedition mentioned in this article a military excurion of some sort that is not widely documented? Seemingly so, if Kellermann, a soldier, was promoted upon return (if this article entry is to be given creedence.) 
Please provide a reference or footnote about sources as to the information presented.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bluto619 (talk • contribs) 00:50, 17 May 2011 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know of a definitive source for the date of Kellermann's ennoblement? I am inclined towards 1808 because it's given in the venerable survey The Bâton in the Knapsack (Currie, 1934), but a Google search does show some surprisingly wild variations: 
*Sir Edward Shepherd Creasy, in The Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World and Bentley's, gives the year as 1802; 
*Appleton's, Beeton's, Johnson's and Dublin University magazine give 1804; 
*Encyclopedia Britannica and Napoleon's Marshals (Richard P. Dunn-Pattinson) both give 1808; 
*New International Encyclopædia and Encyclopedia Americana give 1809;

Talk:Gamaliel (Qliphah)

message: While "Gamaliel" has been the order of qlippoth corresponding to the sephira Yesod since the days of the Golden Dawn, does anyone know where Mathers found this attribution?  Other researches on the word "Gamaliel" show it to be the proper name of a Rabbi well-regarded in both Christian and Judaic tradition.  
I do not challenge the material presented here, as "Gamaliel" has been used in this sense for over a hundred years now,  but I do wonder if the name was a "blind" introduced by Mathers to put a safer word of power into the GD teachings, rather than a more traditional, and dangerous, Hebrew name. Anybody? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.185.211.21 (talk • contribs) 03:53, 17 February 2006
:Mathers was not all that inventive, but merely recorded information collated by earlier esoteric Freemasons. Also, neither he nor his protege, Aleister Crowley, were particularly good at researching Hebrew. The name Gamaliel literally means "God is my recompense" or "(a) mighty (one) is my recompense". It isn't a blind, per se, but a play on words. In the direct sense, it praises God as being worth any effort of virtue, and in this sense is a reasonable name for a Rabbi.  But by implying that any value can be placed on God, it is understood to mean "worth no more than the effort I put into it", and that is understood as a weak foundation (Yesod) upon which to establish any enterprise. The translation can be gleaned from any decent dictionary of Biblical Hebrew. The interpretation, however, must be regarded as "original research" - you won't find much about this subject in print by anyone who really qualifies as an authority. 74.215.117.149 (talk) 08:43, 14 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Qliphoth is the plural form, thus Gamaliel (Qliphoth) as the article′s title is incorrect, as is a sentence like “Gamaliel is the Qliphoth associated with the Sephirah Yesod on the kabbalistic Tree of Life.” I suggest moving to Gamaliel (Qliphah) or however you prefer to transliterate the Hebrew singular form. --78.50.82.124 (talk) 12:01, 28 December 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: What is the oe connnected in the name Koenig?

message: Hello, I added its ranks with official sources (the decrees published in the "Official Journal"). Unfortunately, a good part of his military career took place between 1940 and 1944 in the service of Free France. Free France didn't published promotion decrees in its official journal, so it will be rather difficult to find the decree and the date of the promotion...
Secondly, its records (birth, death, service, legion of honor, etc.) will not be accessible to the public before 2020. The Chancellery of the Legion of Honor publishes only information on people who have died for 50 years. He died in 1970.

message: I added a [citation needed] for the quote "this damned Bonaparte is going to get us all killed" in the 'Napoleonic Wars' section, attributed with no source or date, as being said only "after his last campaign in Spain." It was added by an unregistered user in this edit in 2008 with no source or editing description, but I can't find a source for it in any of the referenced works: not in the Britannica entry, not in Dunn-Pattinson's Napoleon's Marshals, and not in Macdonell's Napoleon and His Marshals (although Google Books' search feature is limited but it doesn't seem to show up in any of the books' uses of "damned", "killed" or "Bonaparte"). I also couldn't find any French equivalent in the French Wikipedia entry for Lannes, though I'm not sure exactly what the original French would be for it if it is a real quote, there's no quote in the Lannes entry that is anything like this one. Same goes for the English Wikiquote entry for Napoleon as well as the French Wikiquote entry for him, neither of which have any quotes from Lannes. The quote seems to only appear on Google in results which are similarly unsourced on other wikis and forums, many taken directly from this very Wikipedia article, possibly all of them, given how many of them either reproduce the entire Wiki entry text or reproduce the phrase "after his last campaign in Spain" verbatim. So if this is a real quote, the internet seems to return no source for it other than this Wikipedia entry.
